Backroads Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 I gotta say... that would be a fun place for BASE jumping... Quote
applepansy Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Posted April 20, 2011 He is the grandson of Hartman Rector Jr.yes I know :) Quote
UrbanFool Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 Wouldn't that make him a 4th and not a 3rd? If Jr. is 2nd, III would be his father and he'd be IV. Quote
Wingnut Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 Wouldn't that make him a 4th and not a 3rd? If Jr. is 2nd, III would be his father and he'd be IV.Only if his father was also named Hartman Rector. Quote
NeuroTypical Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 Take the elevator up to the roof, hop the big iron grate they put there because it's hard to hop, run off the top of the building, hit the ground, then grab your chute and dive into the get away car and drive the heck away before the cops show up and arrest you. I'd have something more 'shame on you'-esque to say, if I weren't laughing so hard that tears are streaming down my cheeks. Quote
pam Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 yes I know :) I figured you did. Just throwing it out there. Quote
pam Posted April 20, 2011 Report Posted April 20, 2011 Wouldn't that make him a 4th and not a 3rd? If Jr. is 2nd, III would be his father and he'd be IV. I had to think for a brief moment about that one too. But Hartman Rector Jr didn't name his own son after him. :) Quote
Elphaba Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 I've said this before--the building just doesn't look that tall to me. But, there's something very endearing about someone doing something so wicked on (off?) that building, and you all know how much I love Wicked. Elph Quote
UrbanFool Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 That building would have to be on fire for me to even remotely consider jumping off. Quote
bcguy Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 If I would not having a little spot on my record, I would do it to. That looks like a thrill Quote
Blackmarch Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 Gotta say.... Chutzpah, they has it. Quote
Traveler Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 When the new Conference Center first opened and they allowed tours on the roof of that building a 6 or 7 year old (or so) climbed the 6 foot fence there and jumped off without a parachute. The parents were neglectfully nearby but felt the Church to be much more neglectful and sued for some undisclosed amount. Since then the top of the Conference Center and remained closed to the public.Sometime I wonder if the greatest fans of such stunts become the worse critics when things do not turn out well.The Traveler Quote
Still_Small_Voice Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 I've said this before--the building just doesn't look that tall to me.Is that is because you haven't been up on top of the building before? I was just up there about three days ago. It is a very high building.Interesting video. The jumpers are crazy, but it was interesting to watch. Quote

It is a very high building.No, I haven't been to the top, and I am basing it on looking at it from the ground. So, perhaps you're right.Elph Quote

Guest Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 What's the difference between falling off the 2nd floor, from falling off the 10th floor, and falling off the 30th floor? 2nd floor: <thud>, Ahhhhhhhh! 10th floor: Ahhhhhhh! <thud> 30th floor: Ahhhhhh! <panting> Ahhhhhh! <panting> Ahhhhhh! <thud> Okay, I was being silly.
