ChromeBoy 0 #1 April 15, 2002 Date: This Past SaturdayLoad: SunsetPlace: Pea Gravel PitSunset load was off the ground in the Otter. I was on the previous load so I could not get packed in time. All of the women at the dropzone were carrying cases of Old Milwaukee to the landing area. I am wondering? I then start noticing experienced jumpers carrying 12 packs of Heineken to the landing area. Wondering? The Old Milwaukee cans are placed around the circular gravel pit. Different "OM" cans are archicectually placed in the pea gravel. Goal: Who can swoop and knock over the most cans of "OM"!Reward: Heineken beer rewarded to each jumper on the way to the hanger. Not a bad sunset load, huh?

FallRate 0 #3 April 15, 2002 OK, it might be Old Swill, but that is still a blatant example of "Alcohol Abuse"! Unless, of course, the cans were still in working order after the event.FallRate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallRate 0 #4 April 15, 2002 Oh yeah, and "rewarded" with Heineken is like being rewarded with Ipecac! Just goes to show that if you put piss in a bottle and market it well, people will not only buy it, but they will consume it with an air of superiority! ;-)FallRate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't stand Heineken, nor most of the other boutique beers that these sissies drink nowadays. I would have gladly drank the Old Swill if it was cold. Hell, that is our head rigger's favorite beer!ChuckMy webpage HERE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChromeBoy 0 #18 April 15, 2002 No. I sat around and joked with the rigger afterward when everyone went out to dinner. When they left I went home. I live an hour and a half north of orange. I had on grey adidas pants, blue cut off sweatshirt and a black Go Fast hat on backwards. I have a black and white Mirage G3 if that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
