Dumpster 0 #3 December 8, 2003 Meeting George W - Chances are, five minutes after you meet him, he won't remember you from Sam Hill - (Who the hell IS Sam Hill, anyway?) He won't Drunk Dial you, you'll never meet him again, he won't buy you a jump when you broke and haven't jumped in three weeks, and you'll NEVER do a hybrid with him at the WFFC or Richmond. Going to the DZ.com boogie - You'll meet people you'll know forever, they WILL drunk dial your ass if you're on the list, they may very well buy you a jump one day, or at least a few beers, and you'll see them again at Rantoul, or Richmond, or Couch Freaks, or at you local DZ, etc etc etc. Answer is simple - Go to the boogie! Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #4 December 8, 2003 I'd rather go to the boogie. and as for the "sam hill" thing... well...um...you asked: The phrase "Sam Hill" refers to a New England farmer who ran for public office, but he was a nobody who no one had heard of. Everyone was asking "Who in the heck is Sam Hill?!" SAM HILL – “If someone could locate any historical record of a Col. Samuel Hill of Guilford, Connecticut, we might find the origin of the phrase ‘go like Sam Hill’ or ‘run like Sam Hill.’ Edwin V. Mitchell makes mention of the man in the ‘Encyclopedia of American Politics (1946). It seems that Colonel Hill perpetually ran for office – but no other evidence of his existence can be found. Since no one knows ‘who in the Sam Hill’ he was, Sam Hill must remain ‘a personified euphemism our puritan ancestors used for ‘hell.’” From “Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins” by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grega 0 #5 December 8, 2003 I can't believe some have chosen seeing bush meeting bunch of skydivers having fun, and jump your ass off, partying every night... or meeting a wuffo person that you can't even normally speak to huh i see there are still some people here that think skydiving is not the most important thing in the world "George just lucky i guess!"

McDuck 0 #6 December 8, 2003 Met him before he became President. He made a grand speech to a private gathering, and made about as much substantive sense as a carnival barker. He shook my hand though. I just went because it was either go to the event or stay at work and (gasp) work.

Nightingale 0 #10 December 8, 2003 I met him while he was campaigning. He came to my college. I was the student assigned to play gopher for his little entourage. He and his group were not the most polite individuals I have encountered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #12 December 8, 2003 I've met and talked to W. about 5 or 6 times when he was Gov of Texas, so I'd say go to the boogie (if it was me).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usedtajump 1 #16 December 8, 2003 W used to have an aircraft at the FBO I worked at in the early 90s and saw him MORE than enough week in and week out. Kinda sucked having to deal with him, by the way. Yep, DZ.com boogie for me. Hell, chewing aluninum foil and shaving my head with a cheese grater would be better than W.The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonto 1 #18 December 9, 2003 Well, 14% of skydivers don't agree. For some people, GWB is better than skydiving. I've seen the Skydiving better than sex thing... Is GWB better than sex for some people? tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoShitThereIWas 0 #20 December 9, 2003 Hell that isn't even a toss up. Going to the DZ.com Boogie for sure. And I would say skydiving with Bush at the Boogie would be the ultimate, but I've seen video of his Dad skydiving and ummm ... well ... , ummmm .... let's just say, not a pretty sight so I think I'd pass.Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires."

Chute 0 #22 December 9, 2003 Meeting GWB is a once in a life time experance. And, because of todays photo editing no one will ever really believe you. So say screw it and go to the DZ.

Kramer 0 #23 December 9, 2003 Being a pretty hard-core republican, who has only 5 skydives, it may surprise you to know that I'm actually going to have to say the DZ.com boogie. Sure, it'd be cool to meet him, but he's just a guy like everyone else. So would I rather hang out with someone who has the same politial views as I do, or a group of people who enjoy the same sport as I do? I'm takin sports over politics anyday...sorry George. -Kramer (edit: typo) The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
