wildblue 7 #1 October 6, 2003 It's usually bad form to post PMs, but in a message from Don (PLFKing) he said: QuoteSay....did I tell you I got my rigger's ticket last week ? I'd be honored to give you a free reserve repack.....just send it on. Maybe I'm being paranoid... but I would be saving $40... I'm just not sure. Help me out - good guy just trying to be nice? Or is this one of those "You get what you pay for" kind of things? He is a Michigan fan - so he can't be trusted. But that also means he's not real bright, and may just work for free out of stupidity. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFKING 4 #5 October 6, 2003 Since we're sharing PMs.... Quote ..so tell me what to do, Don. These feelings for Jess just get stronger every day. I get more and more turned on every time she talks trash to me, or puts me down. I'll probably be branded an asshat for saying this, but I would have went after her last year, if Erk wasn't such a good friend. Please don't repeat that to anyone, okay ? GOD !!! I can't sleep, I can't eat.....it's like there's just a huge darkness where my heart used to be. Should I tell her ? Should I just drive to San An, get down on my knees, and beg her to have me ? What's your advice ? I only know i can't go on like this. I'm like a bird whose wings have been clipped....good for nothing. Help me, bro. Seth Follow your heart, dude.....and quit bothering me with these asinine questions. If you want her, go get her. Don"When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

skybabe76 0 #6 October 6, 2003 Why is he offering a reserve re-pack for free??? Sounds fishy. "If you're going to be stupid, you better be tough!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildblue 7 #9 October 6, 2003 Classic. Not bad, but could have been better: 1) We'll just ignore the fact that I'd never ask or take advice from you on anything. We'll also ignore the fact that "shit ear" repulses me and causes me to bring my lunch back up. 2) I would have refered to Jess as "...that slutty whore..." or something slightly more creative. 3) I wouldn't have used the term "asshat" - I think that's one of the most recockulous terms ever coined by anyone. It annoys me to read, let alone hear or say. 4) Spell it "Erik" -- that pisses him off more than Erk. 5) Have you seen my fall rate?! I can always eat. 6) Drive to TX? Christ... why?! 7) "Help me, bro"?? See #1 Still good for a giggle though...it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFKING 4 #10 October 6, 2003 I don't have a rigger's ticket....this was the scenario... Ohio State fan (Seth) PM's me just to crow about Michigan's defeat this weekend. Michigan fan (me) replies that I just got my ticket, and would be happy to repack his reserve....followed by 3 Ohio State fan (Seth), being dumb as a brick (because that's how Ohio State fans are) thinks he will get a free reserve repack, even though he knows I only have 140 jumps. Michigan fan (me) laughs his ass off every time he thinks of Seth's ignorance. If I WAS a rigger, I'd be honored to give you a freebie.....but, alas......

wildblue 7 #11 October 6, 2003 QuoteOhio State fan (Seth) PM's me just to crow about Michigan's defeat this weekend. Oh come on! Every Michigan fan should be mocked, repeatedly, after Michigan lost because they ran that stupid punt play that Jess must have designed... and more than once! 5? 6 blocked punts this year?!

pilotdave 0 #13 October 7, 2003 I once had my reserve packed by a brand new rigger. It was his very first unsupervised packjob. He made a housecall. Arrived at my apartment around 11:30 pm, packed to bluegrass music till about 5 am, and charged $45. And he didn't even pack the main. He also had me print the reserve packing manual for my container off the internet. It was just wonderful to hear the rigger i'm trusting my life to saying "now what the hell are they trying to show me in this picture??" He got it done just fine though. Never used it so who knows if it was packed right, but it was neat and my poptop even stayed tight till the next repack. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #14 October 7, 2003 I say go for it. But what I like most about this poll is all the different "No" stats....for some reason that cracks me up! So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

riggerrob 643 #23 October 7, 2003 Packing for free is a phase every young rigger goes through, to establish their reputation. For example, my first 100 reserve repacks were done for free on the student reserves owned by my skydiving club. Mind you, the club never did charge me for jump tickets, so were the repacks really "free?" As for the young rigger asking you to print out the packing manual: be thankful that he read it!
