Dude, sounds good to me, but I am sure
some would argue it is like kiling a roach
with a hammer.

If a cliff is grossly over hung is it still and E? I think so. KL is grossly overhung but its still a B.

B- Wind flows around
A- Wind flows through
S- Wind flows under
E- Wind flows over

And ulitmately, I'm with Mac. Who give a crap? It's all still fun!

BTW- I got my 'B' from the Beginner B in LA... 3 corners are better than 4 in the object avoidance game.

We really need to get away from this BASE acronym...really...about if I jump off while standing on maggot's shoulders...is that a M for maggot, a H for human (kinda), a PM for prevented motherfucker, or a C for cocksucker?
