[SpeedRacer 1]

Considering the early history of skydiving, isn't it a bit inappropriate?

But, what if you really do like the French (except for a few snotty Parisian waiters from the 80's), and it's all in good-natured fun?

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

The French don't have a word for parachute.

If the French had a term for it, they'd say it's déja vu.

"For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

True... But the Gallic language does have the smallest vocabulary!

However, some of their terms, like, say: "Fromage Mangeant Singes du Reddition" does have a certain J' ne sais quoi! It just sounds classier, more appropriate in French than in English.

Couldn't agree more.Now, what does it mean in French?

DZ.com should come with subtitles.

Considering the quality of their national teams (especially 4way and 8way), I'd never bash French skydivers.

Considering the tough time their government is going through, what's the point of bashing them otherwise, right now?

Frankly, bashing based on stereotyping is crappy for whatever reason (includes US bashing too no matter how popular - and that's just nationalistic crap).

It's more fun to bash freestylists - and the clothing that CrW dog's moms pick out for them.

Ah HA! not defending CrWs dog's choice of dress I see. It was a setup all along. You fell for it. Now we know where you stand on ratted jeans, untucked sweatshirts and helmuts with big ear holes......
