IanHarrop 42 #102 October 17, 2005 QuoteQuoteYou should be proud of yourself. Not many newbies get a flame going on a thread. Especially after deleting the original post! In fact I think this is probably a record: A flaming, newbie, deleted thread... I don't think I've seen another like it. If its a FIRST, it means "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #103 October 17, 2005 Quoteok what makes it get a flame Keith posts on it. Just kidding... it has to do with the number of views/replies within a certain time period."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Rebecca 0 #108 October 17, 2005 Holy crap! You are new. Anytime you accomplish something significant for the first time, you OWE beer to everyone else. First solo First cutaway First rig We kinda take some license with the rules... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

IanHarrop 42 #109 October 17, 2005 Quotewhat i don't understand by the beer icon Surely, you jest... If you,ve been jumping for any lenght of time you must be familiar with the time honoured tradition of buying when you do a first. It is in fact documented here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=81 See rule 9"Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rebecca 0 #116 October 17, 2005 Quotei don't drink In the real world, on a real DZ, with real DZ beer rules, it's generally accepted that if you don't drink, a case of soft drinks is a viable substitute. True, beer is generally MORE appreciated, but there's nothing wrong with bringing Mt. Dew instead. Unless you drink beer. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #118 October 17, 2005 Quotea case of soft drinks is a viable substitute Just make sure they're brought out in a cooler and during the jumping day (as opposed to beer, which should only come out after the "beer light" [which may or may not be an actual light ... often they are just figurative] is on) for the enjoyment and hydration of your new friends at the DZ."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
