skreamer 1 #3 March 20, 2001 I already did, dude. Check the 'Music preference' thread, page 7. That's what gave me the idea for starting this one.Now of course it is your turn Doasfu - unless of course you are chicken... /s[drop till you party!] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doasfu 0 #4 March 21, 2001 I'm drawing a blank. I think I've spent too much of my life seeking to avoid embarrasment. :)Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FreeflyPlaymate 0 #5 March 21, 2001 I can honestly say I can't remember the last time I was embarrased...I'm such a huge dork, by accepting the way that I am...how can I for one embarrass myself, and 2 I'm so used to my dorky nature, that for someone else to TRY to embarrass me is impossible..or practically I should say...just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean that it can...lol**BLUE ONES**BITE ME.... :P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 0 #6 March 21, 2001 Well, I am having second thoughts here.....but,It was Monday morning, I had been at the dz all weekend and ended up drinking way, WAY too much on Sunday night. As a result, I was in fairly poor condition. I was hoping for a slow and quiet morning, but it did not happen. I can best explain my condition by saying there should be a warning lable on beer and whiskey bottles that indicate the near fatal flatulence that can be created by mixing large quantities of the two coupled with a midnight run to Taco Bell. So there I am at my desk, doubled over with a very large gas bubble churning in my lower extremities, I needed help!. I carefully checked down the hallway outside my office, both ways, and it was all clear. I let "it" go, HOLY CRAP it was bad enough to peel paint. It seemed like at that very moment, the hottest woman in the office and the CEO rounded the corner and walked into my office. I tried to ignore it and pretend it didnt smell like a pig farm in my office, but I could tell from the expressions, and duration of the visit, there was no escape, I was busted. I started to say something to the effect of "its not my fault.......I wish that damn cleaning woman would do something about the......" and I was abruptly cut off. The meeting was reconviened in the CEO's office a few minutes later. Needless to say, the hottie does not stop by my office anymore, and the CEO calls before stopping by....oh well.

Greg 0 #8 March 21, 2001 OK, I got another, this one is not as bad, but still a little embarrassing.I recently bought a used Javelin. I guess when you buy a new Javelin, the fine folks at Sunpath will additionally give you a can coozie that matches your container, how frickin cool I thought!!! Well, my used Javelin came less the cool can coozie, so I sent an extremely shameless and wanting email to Sunpath's general info address begging for a complimentary coozie to match my Javelin, just to see if I could get one. Well to my supprise, I got a response from the president of Sunpath telling me that if I am going to be begging for stuff, at least include your address!! Needless to say, I provided my address and I will be getting my can coozie, but I cant believe I went begging to the president of Sunpath to get it. That is quite shameless and a little embarrassing.Side note, as it turns out, mr president is a really cool guy and will be at Eloy in may for the airspeed challange, and I have made arrangements with him to hook him up with a couple jump tickets or a few cold ones or something!!Blue ones!!

Greg 0 #10 March 21, 2001 Ah yes! I seem to remember reading that he and a few others were blown off course and landed on an island or something. I will go back and find it and re-read that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Divadiver 0 #12 March 21, 2001 Thank you Greg!! Someone pick me up off the floor!! ROFLMAO!!!Well there was that last snowfall and the Dean had scheduled a luncheon. Because it was snowing and I wanted to get some stuff done on my lunch break, I ditched the luncheon. Only when I snuck out the back I didn't realize that I had to walk directly in front of the meeting room's full length windows in order to get to the parking area. Right about the time I got directly in front of the windows, down I went! It was one of the best PLF's I've ever done!! I was told the only person who missed my landing was the Dean himself!!Divadiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 0 #13 March 21, 2001 Hey SkySlut (god, speaking of embarrassed, I feel a little embarrassed calling someone that)I found the artical on the main page:Malaysian maritime police rescued skydivers from the United Statesand Denmark who were feared to have been blown out to sea butactually had washed ashore on a deserted beach. Derek Thomas,44, of Zephyr Hills, Florida, and Karen Willerup of Denmark, lostduring a parachute competition off the island of Borneo, sang toeach other for five hours Tuesday night (Karens birthday) beforehelp arrived. They hit gusty winds and overshot theirlanding zone in Menggatal district, about60 kilometers (40 miles) from where theshow "Survivor" was filmed. On Tuesday, five of the skydivers werefound on shore after a two-hour search,but a bigger operation had to be mountedfor Thomas and Willerup. It was believedthey had been blown into the South ChinaSea or rugged rain forest. Thomas said he miscalculated his landingbecause of thick clouds. He and Willerup where doing a tandemskydive, they drifted downwind, nearly 5 kilometers (3 miles) fromwhere they planned to land. Neither Thomas nor Willerup were injured. (Derek Thomas is the owner of SunPath Products, manufaturers ofthe Javelin) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 0 #14 March 21, 2001 Hey Diva, tell me you were wearing a dress when you made the PLF in the snow!!! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkySlut 0 #15 March 21, 2001 Yeah, you should see some of the whuffos & tandems' reaction when people call me that at the DZ. Its pretty funny actually...As far as that little mishap, I find it really odd. It was called the "Jump Below the Wind" boogie wasn't it??? Where's the irony in that?!?!?! I would really be interested to hear the full story."I'll jump anything!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lummy 4 #16 March 21, 2001 Ok, here's my most recent embarassing moment.MY girlfriend went for surgery a few months ago. She has a few body piercings which we had to remove the morning of the surgery. That night, she pleaded for me to put them back in so they wouldn't close up. Being the nice guy I am, I brought along the pair of pliers to close the loops.So here I am, in a semi private room with a pair of plyers between my girlfriends legs, when she accidently hit's the nurse call button. The Nurse comes in and catches us in the middle of it all. I never saw someone apologize and leave so quickly in my life. Good news is that I got 2 of the rings back in that nite.

Divadiver 0 #20 March 21, 2001 Greg:Nope, no dress sorry. It was one of those really short little wool mini-skirts!! Divadiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 0 #21 March 21, 2001 Well Diva, a short wool mini skirt, PLFing in front of a picture window in the snow, I wish I could have seen it.One thing I have noticed about embarrassing moments is that they are funnier when they happen to others, and although they may not be funny when they happen, they sure are funny later!Which, for some reason, reminds me of another "moment":I was at this big party while still in high school. There were a few keg's and other festivities to be had and the party lasted until the wee hours. Well, at some point during the evening, I met a really cool chick and towards the wee'er hours we were making pretty good progress towards a fast visit to one of the bedrooms. Unfortunatly, quite a few others had the same idea and there were no open "slots". So we decded to "warm up" so to speak on the couch until a spot was open. Anyway,as I am at some times a gentleman, I get up to go and get us a couple refills and, not paying much attention to anyone else in the room upon my return (eye on the prize so to speak), took my same spot on the couch I had just vacated, and thinking I was "in" like nobodys business, proceeded to make that kinda "grade school" mr smooth move and reached my hand under her "seat" to cop a little feel as I passed her the refil (a real gentlman hee hee). To my ultimate shock, there was already a hand down there. I look over and she has hooked up with one of my friends and I did not even notice until we sort of "touched" hands under the girl!.Thats embarrassing!!!

Greg 0 #24 March 21, 2001 Ok, Im bored and Im not getting any work done today!I got another, this did not happen to me but I saw it on tv a while back and still laugh about it to this day.There was a, not sure, something like 13 or so year old kid who was going to try to "scare" his parents. I think his parents were at the grocery store or something. So the kid sets up a video camera in the kitchen and proceeds to climb his ass to the top of this stand up refrigerator/freezer thing where he is planning to jump and scare the begeezus out of his poor parents. Just as his parents get home, the kid decides it is not the best idea and tries to climb down before his parents get to the kitchen. He looses his grip, slips, and falls, but his shorts get caught on the top of the refrigerator on the freezer door. His weight pulls the refirgerator forward which opens both the freezer door and the refrigerator door and empties the contents of the refrigerator on to the floor and leaves him hanging from the top of the refrigerator by his shorts. Just as they cut away his parents walk into the kitchen to find thier loving son hanging by his shorts from the freezer door and all of the contents of the refrigerator spilled all over the floor. I would have loved to hear the little bugger try to explain to his parents how he managed to get there!!!That would have to be a very embarrassing situation!

Greg 0 #25 March 21, 2001 Just remembered this one, happened just this Sunday:My bro and I are at the DZ, we go on ahead and manifest and wait for the gear up call. We start getting ready and doing all the equipment checks and I hear a call, but missed what the delay was, so I assumed we had a 15 minute wait still. So there we are just waiting for the call and talking and laughing all cool and stuff, well the next call is the get on the bus call!!! We both missed the bus and there are no refunds for missing the bus, we both lost our slots on the frikin Skyvan man and were out the $17.00 jump ticket.
