Wings-n-Things 0 #1 October 25, 2010 OK, I remember the first pie in the face usually happens at 1000 jumps. But these days I'm seeing people getting pied at 100. I've got over 500 and never saw a pie. What's up with that? Card carrying member of the Nanny State Liberation Front Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Niki1 2 #6 October 25, 2010 I never ever wanted to get pied and I've never been part of a pieing.. I've helped a few friends get their gear cleaned up afterwards and it's a pain in the butt. Like the guy said after he was tarred and feathered, and being ridden out of town on a rail, "If it wasn't for the honor of the thing, I'd just as soon walk."Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

My pieing at skyfest this year... iluvtofly in the background did the honors of smashing a delicious strawberry creme pie in my face. I would be ok with not getting pied again though. It took a good week that get all of it out of my ears. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I'm concerned when anyone asks what my jumper number is it's between 25 and 75. Pie in the face just sucks. Until the tradition changes to something more pleasurable I'm doing everything I can to avoid people knowing about any 00's or 000's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #14 October 25, 2010 Pie is a social event. It is recognition of a milestone by the only people who value it. Your peers are helping you celebrate. Nothing that a 5-minute shower can't remove. I still have my pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkycndo 0 #18 October 25, 2010 Where I started, it was pie for 100, 500 and every 1000 there after. And there is no statute of limitations on pie. It's best to wait a weekend or two when the recipient isn't ready for it. And you could only pie someone if they had less jumps than you. Just one way to prevent a 50 jump wonder from pieing someone with 10,000 jumps. Have to respect the old farts. But never, repeat, never pie them with gear on. Whipped cream stinks to high heaven if it isn't washed out completely. For my 1000th, got pied just before heading to the airport to fly home from a boogie. Had no place to shower and had to wash up from a garden hose. By the time I got home, I could smell that nasty smell from the whipped cream. The poor guy sitting next to me on the plane must have either had a cold or was too nice to say anything.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

BillyVance 35 #23 October 26, 2010 Quote OK, I remember the first pie in the face usually happens at 1000 jumps. But these days I'm seeing people getting pied at 100. I've got over 500 and never saw a pie. What's up with that? Traditionally, you get pied for your 100th and 1000th. If you didn't get pied for your 100th, rest assured you'll get one soon.

Vskydiver and I made her 1000th and my 2000th (I think) on the same jump. I got pied, she locked herself in the car and drove off. The kids and I met her down the road to get a ride home. Next weekend they got her. But I agree, NO PIEING while someone's wearing their gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
