Holy Fuck. Has anyone ever heard about this?

EDIT: I just noticed it got a LIFE magazine cover. It's probably common knowledge but it's new to me dammit

How much time do you have?
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Just checking to see who I can get to go do this, sans parachute of course. So far, I've got you and Pen as possible volunteers.

This guy is planning on doing it, with a parachute.  He is planning to break Mach 1 however.

Does anyone know of any sites or places beyond those scams like plasticjungle/cardavenue/etc. that will allow for 1-1 trades between people with various gift cards? 

No, but Wheezer has a dead cat you can have.

The cat's been placed, but I can still get you a deal on a long-suffering dog.

I'd take him in a heartbeat if I didn't have my hands full with the beagles.  That's an awesome dog.

Adopted. Anybody up for park dumps?

Anyone have advice on going down to the Indy 500?  Is it worth making it into a full weekend trip?  If so, what is there to do?  Any good suggestions for places to go and things to see?

You should see the cars go around in a circle and go vroom.

My advice: don't ever go to Indiana for any reason.

The area directly surrounding the BRICKYARD is a dump.  Downtown/commercial Indy is pretty nice.  Basically your standard mid-sized city, the typical restaurants, the typical shops.  The network of skywalks connecting hotels and a mall or two is pretty nice if it rains.  I've heard St Elmo Steakhouse is supposed to be the best place to eat, but I've never been there.  It has a good airport that's very accessible, but I'm assuming you'll probably drive (prepare to doze off from boredom).  It's a solid city that will probably meet expectations without pissing you off too much.  Maybe even pleasantly surprise you.  Maybe.  YMMV
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

St. Elmo is great. I had the chopped steak which sounds dumb because it's really just a giant burger on a plate but it's quite awesome. Especially if you use the cocktail sauce they serve at that place. Whatever the hell is in it, it's mighty good.
