skyboyblue 0 #1 April 22, 2003 the ways that I'm pissed off right now, but first a story we had a group of students living in the dorms and a sorority at my alma mater(also where I work) schedule to do tandems. so I emailed the university paper to see if they would print a picture of mine or cover the event. what the hell, just for fun right? a skydiving pic would certainly better than the usual crap like someone blowing bubbles on a nice day. but I got a cold shoulder more or less. In today's paper, they print this well, now I'm cheesed. back to counting... 1. 1/2 ass skydiving over the real thing get printed? 2. I didn't know about it until this...free tunnel time? you bastards! 3. 4. sbb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #2 April 22, 2003 It's important to understand that unless the person is a fellow skydiver, they're NEVER going to understand you or your sport. Let it go.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even then, some jumpers are still whuffos, or atleast have that sheep mentality, not understanding the sport at all. fucking sheep-ople.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

skyboyblue 0 #4 April 22, 2003 oh quade, its all in good fun. I must have sounded like I really was pissed. should have used the tongue smiley face somewhere up there. Hell, maybe it'll give someone the notion to try the real thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #5 April 22, 2003 Can't get that article to load for some reason. But I've been lucky at my school. Our paper has printed a bunch of positive articles about my skydiving club ( http://www.inform.umd.edu/studentorg/cpsc/Articles1.html). They threw one little blurb in a couple months ago that just made me laugh though. It was just a little sidebar in the diversions section listing some upcoming campus events, and they included my club's upcoming information session that we run before each skydiving trip. I attached a scan of it. The date and time were both wrong, and the blurred out phone number is my home phone number! At the very least they could have printed my email address or something. I share that phone number with my 4 roommates. It's a damn good thing not a single person actually called. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

payback462 0 #7 April 22, 2003 Quote fucking sheep-ople. dave, i think what you meant to say was sheeple. Sheeple (SHEE.pul) n. People who are meek, easily persuaded, and tend to follow the crowd (sheep + people). but its ok, you ARE from texas after all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
