If those lights aren't blue (or red, in some cases) then the flashing driver can fuck right off. I will move over when it's clear & safe for me to do so. (.)Y(.)

jcd11235 0 #231 March 16, 2009 QuoteAS I've stated before-unless you are in the far right lane, look to your right. If the cars you see don't appear to be moving backwards, you are in the incorrect lane. Also, if there's a blue Explorer 8 inches off your rear bumper with the lights flashing, you are in the wrong lane. Glad I could clear that up for ya'll I think you're responding to the wrong person, unless your intent was to preach to the choir.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

JohnMitchell 16 #232 March 16, 2009 I've actually had the pleasure of watching the cop pull over the rusty old pickup that wouldn't move out of my way. My pet peeve is all the kids' sports parents that insist their child play only in "Select" leagues. Their kids are waaaay too talented to play in regular little league or school leagues. When I was growing up I played football, soccer and baseball throughout the year. Great way to cross train, mix it up, and have fun. Now these "gifted" kids get stuck with one sport 12 months out of the year, special training camps, high priced clinics,etc. Then when you have a normal kid like mine that just wants to play each sport during the season, they're regarded as underachievers. They've taken the "childrens'" out of childrens' sports. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've taken the "childrens'" out of childrens' sports. The neighbor guy was (so he tells me) some hot-shot collegiate hockey star. He had that poor kid of his in every hockey league, camp, school..you name it from the time the kid could tie his skates. For YEARS I had to listen to the kid smacking 500 puck shots a night 7 days a week into this fancy goal thing that records speed and accuracy and prints it out...kids could never cheat and hit 499, ole dad would jump his shit. Well 'sonny boy' just started college outta state, he was home last weekend and I chatted him up for a few minutes.

How many teeth does his dad still have? Dad's in corporate law...has all his choppers from what I can tell, which also tells me, he maybe wasn't quite the 'star' he was pushing the kid to be. He also made a couple dozen jumps 'back in college'...just couldn't remember where or with who. He told me all about it when they moved into the neighborhood about 15 years ago..."Jim, I heard you are a skydiver too" ~huge house warming party, I kept my mouth shut. 4th of July weekend a couple years later his family was front row for a Beach Boys concert I jumped into downtown. He of course recognized me and asked if he could jump in next year with me...~So, i guess That's my pet-peeve: Lawyers! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #244 March 17, 2009 That's it exactly, the pushing of kids into things to feed some parental ego. All of our kids have displayed all kinds of diverse talents in all kinds of fields. A friend once asked "How did you get _____ so interested in doing ______?" My reply was that you can't get any kid interested in anything, you just give them some lead to find what interests them. I could have never thought to push them into many of the activities they have enjoyed. And these poor kids that are made slaves to one sport? Not many remember that Joe Montana played basketball in college, or that Michael Jordan wasn't even on his junior high basketball team. Heck, I knew Craig Girard when he was just a young guy with a couple of hundred jumps, a weekend jumper like most of us. You gottta maintain an even strain in this life, find a little balance and time to relax. Let kids be kids. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their principal was a big man with an imposing physique. I was told after the jump that he kept saying "I'm going to try a skydive one day", then woooosh! I came in for landing, and all of a sudden he changed his mind.

I came in for landing, and all of a sudden he changed his mind. I was in the ground crew at a demo into a school once. The first guy down screwed up and came in downwind. Everyone else had set up for final behind him and it was too late to turn. They all overshot the landing area and went into a big field of tall grass about 3-4 feet deep. Everyone went tumbling end-over-end, but because of the tall grass, you only got brief, repeated glimpses of them, much like porpoises jumping out of the surf.
