Why not just go for invisible then?? ;)
Ya know... thought about it... I think if I had the ability to go invisible then I might as well just stop everything and claim death because I'd be spending waaaay too much time invisible. Figured it'd be healthier to just be able to fly around and unhook bra straps with a flick of the mind.

But wouldn't you then also need super telescopic vision to "enjoy" viewing the work of your jedi mind trick. It's not like you could just fly up to a distance where you'd have a good view and then go all Jedi Mind trick on the hooks and not loose site of your handiwork in less than a second! :rolleyes:

Man, this is getting way too complicated... maybe I'll just stick to alcohol and my sexy charm as a panty dropper.

Such a small mind, You have much to learn, grasshopper.
Hey, I have big thoughts. I was thinking of tripping stupid people with my mind too.

You'd better go with flight. I don't think you'd ever leave the HS locker rooms with invisibility.

Big wing hang glider - $400 (Rumney)

Reply to: sale-837088875@craigslist.org [?]
Date: 2008-09-11, 6:11PM EDT


Located in Rumney, NH 03266 You can sail all winter in this nice kite!

Easily a 50 foot wingspan or more in size. The colors are bright and the sails are tight.

This is a big plane!

Possibly made by High Energy Sports in the mid 90's. Assembles in about 15 minutes and tears down in 5. Has extended flared wing tips/spoilers for improved turning & control.

Each side of the wing has a set of aluminum spars (these slip into sleeves within the wing). Spars are in good condition and store with their own small carry bag. Glider has small assortment of tools for assembly. Wings, wires, aluminum poles & fasteners are in good condition. Glider has attachment rings for harness assembly in center.

Has a totally white top with a blue nose (underneath). Has a mountain logo and SKI AREA painted underneath in poster paint (should wash off with soap & water) and is in decent shape with no visible damage.

Comes with full cold weather, thermal harness with long zipper pull for in-flight operation. Thermal Harness also has a heavy duty skid/landing pad, a removable safety knife and a variety of pockets. Shows some wear on landing pad. Harness could use a bit of soap and water but is in good shape.

Entire aircraft folds and travels in a protective nylon sleeve/bag (green & blue) with a full double zipper running from end to end. The carry bag has the logo High Energy Sports.

I took a one day beginner hang gliding class... its tough and requires a lot of time commitment just to even get your hang 1... didn't have the patience.

flight. Hang gliding in particular. Anything that has to do with wind is my speed: skiing, biking, sailing, windblown mountaintops, tobogganing/sledding, ragtop cars, skywalks of tall buildings, catwalks, and on it blows...
