skydiverjerry 0 #1 April 4, 2005 here is the advert All you need to do to participate is place an order for your Sabre2 canopy through your favorite dealer. And when lucky 6,000 comes up – John Leblanc will contact the winner personally. So what are you waiting for? so you gota order a saber2 then if you win you get a saber2, hmmm if you loose you still get a saber 2 but you gota pay for it, reminds me of those clever internet adds you know "you are lucky winner no 100 all you need do is attend a 16 hour high pressure sales pitch for time share you dont want, spend 2million lira on travel insurance, airport tax, transfere fees and taxi to and from mexico and the flight, and you can have a crappy small room next to the local prison 10k from the beach. why not say the truth in adds like this you know like... if your ordering a saber 2 you could get it free if your order comes in as order 6000. if your not ordering a saber two please feel free to use this clever marketing ploy and order anyway even if the saber two is not the right canopy for youlife is a journey not to arrive at the grave in a pristine condition but to skid in sideways kicking and screaming, shouting "fuck me what a ride!.

freeflir29 0 #2 April 4, 2005 Does it really matter? I don't think I would order a canopy solely based on this. Are you considering it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #10 April 4, 2005 QuoteOnly because that "add" was driving me crazy One of these days I'm gonna get pedantic enough to put together a Grammar Police thread. We'll start with vocabulary lessons, both general (ad vs. add, there vs. their vs. they're, your vs. you're, etc.) and skydiver-specific (bridal vs. bridle, hanger vs. hangar, etc.). Till then, I'll just cringe and hold onto the knowledge that there are others cringing with me.
