Can anyone can pick this face....

Recommended Posts

I did my 100th back in 2000....but I still crack up every time I see this photo: 10 points to anyone who can identify the face in the photo. He is an American jumper famous for his pond swooping....:D
(SKARSY jumpers: please don't give the game away!)

Because that is the English English spelling of the word not the American English. Kind of like theatre instead of theater. There are many words in the English language that are spelled differently in America than in any of the other English speaking countries.

Why? Probably because an immigrant at some time spelled them incorrectly and they just stuck. But if you look the words up in the dictionary, both speellings appear.

Ok here goes:
Kevin:pts were redeemable for a SSC jump ticket OR a pub crawl with me...I was even going to wear a dress.
Quick-draw: Yes
Jtval: Yes, see above. No: that is not a guy!!! That is Rebecca Scott trying to steal my dad's shoe (he'd already lost one taking a tandem that day!)
RevJim: Yeah, they kept getting torn off by AFFies and B-RELers.
Skydolphin: No.
Since you all suck...:D:P competition over. It was Drew Lipinski, winner of the Ranch's pond swoop comp a few years back. If you don't know who I mean, watch the vid.
