riddler 0 #1 March 10, 2003 In light of the fact that I have recently become an dz.com "addict", I was wondering if there was a 12-step program for ending this fanatical behavior of mine. After a quick (read "non-existent") search, I found that there was not, so I decided to create one to help all of you that are riding with me in this flaming handbasket-to-hell known as dropzone.com. We will be dropzone.com anonymous. Here are your steps to recovery: Step 1. Admit you have a problem. Do you constantly refer to your skydiving mates by their screen-names, even at the dropzone? Is there a question about the validity of the real person, because they do not look like their avatar? Do you wish you could just delete the stupid things you say when jumping, the way you can delete after you sober up from your drunken posts? It might be time to confront your issue. Step 2. Admit that only a greater power can save you. What could be greater than post-whoring on dropzone.com? Judging by the posts, we can conclude that only skydiving, beer and boobies are better. So go out and jump, get drunk and get laid. That pretty much sums up my typical weekend. I hope it was good for you too. Step 3. Surrender ourselves to a greater power. No problem for me. I have my paycheck direct deposited to the dropzone. Step 4. Make a moral inventory of ourselves. What do we value most? If it isn't skydiving, beer and boobies (or equivalent male counterpart), you probably aren't really meant to be a skydiver. Give me your jump tickets and get back in your old bowling league, or whatever else it was you did before you became a skydiver. Step 5. Admit to everyone the exact nature of your wrongs. You are probably driven to dz.com because you can't jump 24/7. If anyone invents a 24/7 dropzone, let me know and I'll be moving there shortly. Step 6. Make yourself ready to be healed. Take off all your clothes ... Do everything I say ... Step 7. Ask for help to remove your shortcomings. OK, fuck this step. I'm a skydiver. I have no shortcomings. Step 8. Make a list of all the dz.com members you have flamed and apologize to them. PMs only please. Apologies in talk-back make me get all teary-eyed. Step 9. Make direct amends to those people. Case o' beer works pretty well here. Buying a jump or two will also suffice. Sex is not out of the question if you are within the boundaries of sexual preference and good taste. Step 10. Continue to take personal inventory and admit it when we make mistakes. More skydiving, beer and boobies. Hey, I think I like this program. Step 11. Something about spirituality, contact with God, something, something. Hey if skydivers are so religious, how come Sunday is such a big jump day? Step 12. Carry your message to others that are suffering. You read this far. That's all I can do for you.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
