Whiskeyboi 0 #1 May 29, 2008 So, this is my 50th forum post. (Yeah, kind of missed the part about starting out here.) But in honor of this um…occasion, I throw the gauntlet down… I’ve read some of these posts and skymama (always a gracious host) welcomes the person to the forums and usually asks a question like “have you picked a DZ yet?” or gives them advice like, “…it can be expensive, but it’s worth it.” It dawned on me…doesn’t she get tired of thinking of things to say? (Personally, I don’t think I have either the tolerance or creativity to do it.) So…I want this time to be special…to be different, exciting, one to remember for the ages! I’d like to be asked something never asked before. I’d like for skymama to dig deep, take off the hospitality-hat, and hit me with the ultimate question. (Failure to respond results in forfeiture, btw.) So…to remove some of the easy choices… I’m new to this insanity, but have been reading posts (and ugh…the sim), taking heed of advice, and trying to soak up as much as possible. I realize the dangers inherent here – both jumping out of planes and interacting with some of the other um…”characters” in these forums. I’m okay with discussions about politics, religion, movies, milfs, and more. I’ll probably be jumping at Skydive Chicago - at least until they get sick of me, I’m ordered off the grounds, and issued a restraining order. My day job is in financial aid at a college…which drove me to jump in the first place. I’m 32, single, no kids, organ donor, homo-sapien, heterosexual, AB positive, Irish-German Norwegian, workaholic, ovinaphobic, and an insomniac to boot. I like running, cooking, sarcasm, Jameson, and griping about how I’m getting old. Turn offs: broccoli, small dogs, shag carpet, and the Panama Canal. So…(deep, anticipatory breath)…lay it on me… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #3 May 29, 2008 Welcome to the forums! Ok, here's my question: WHAT... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baksteen 84 #8 May 29, 2008 Apparently an irrational fear to catch the sheep pox. "That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donquihote 0 #11 May 31, 2008 In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkycndo 0 #12 May 31, 2008 This reminded me of an old joke. Q: What is the bird of peace? A: The dove. Q: What is the bird of the USA? A: The bald eagle. Q: What is the bird of sex? A: The swallow. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
