Memorial Contributions for Tommy D and Cliff Heller
TallGuy replied to TallGuy's topic in The Bonfire
Please forgive me if this has already been posted but I'm interested making some form of contribution in memory of Tommy D and Cliff Heller. Has anyone already set something up? I don't know the ins and out of establishing or managing something like this but I could set up a PayPal account like as was done for Shannon ( GirlFallDown ). I think it would be nice to have a couple adjacent full page ads on the back two pages of Parachutist. And perhaps anything over the cost could be either put towards a good cause or used in setting up memorial event(s) for them. If this has already been touched upon please PM me with a link otherwise I'd love to see some input from the rest of the community. -
I was keeping it together quite well until I saw that picture. I think I had more respect for Tom than any other skydiver I have ever known. He was as real as they came. First person to offer assistance and last one to say a bad thing about anybody. He had my back on more than a few occasions. We would all do well to emulate those qualities. While your physical presence is gone, your memory and your effect on us lives on. Goodbye Tom. We love you.

There are two ways to buy it that I know of. And both are as Mystery Science Theater 3000 videos. You can buy the MST3K version by itself on VHS. Or if you want the original version and/or DVD you can buy the MST3K Vol 1 DVD set. One side has the MST3K version and the other has the original. Warning. I bought the DVD just because I HAD to complete my collection. It REALLY sucks. I'd say the saving grace was the opportunity to laugh at the skydiving stuff were it not so overshadowed by being mostly comprised of slow paced boring melodrama. I put it on the big screen at the DZ one night and only one person showed even passing interest in it.

It was a true pleasure to spend time with all of you fine ladies and gentlemen. Flawless skydiving and everyone was on their best behavior. In fact if there is one boogie that I would say was suitable to bring your grandmother to next year, this is it. Just make sure to remind her to bring her thong.

Hmmm. That would explain the pounding in my rectum. Wow...you admit it. How could he deny it? He was English well before he was Californian. You can't get any more gay. But then Gareth is all about breaking records.

Very well. My peers have spoken and I have listened. While I appreciate that the majority of you believe that jean shorts (at least some styles) are acceptable. There can be no denying that a very large part of the population has deemed them to be a major fashion faux paus. Since I ike to adhere to the basic rules of fashion and because I believe celibacy should be voluntary not imposed, I'm going to remove jean shorts from my regular attire. I will however not be burning them but rather setting them aside for activities where my more respectable attire might get damaged. Now the next time something like this happens can someone please send me a memo? I feel like more of a tool than usual.

So much to my dismay I have been informed that jean shorts have become horribly outdated and that even my long baggy cargo denim shorts should be retired to the garbage effective 15+ years ago. Now I will readily admit to not being the most fashion forward of individuals. It's hard to be at 6'9" when you are limited to shopping from big and tall catalogs. But I always thought I had a handle on the basics. When did I become so out of touch? I've had three girls confirm this startling revelation but I'm in denial. What is your opinion?

See Y'all There!!!

Wow, don't know how that works. I'd suggest calling the DZ.

Ruh Roh Raggy, I may have jinxed us. The forecast REALLY isn't so good now. When they are bad you just say... "Ehhh Whatever, forecasts are rarely accurate let alone a 10 day forecast"

Nope but in 24 hours I should have just finished having lunch with some skydiver chick in Seattle and be on a flight to Kalispell.

Great Minds Think Alike. It's used on here when two or more people post essentially the same thing at the same time.

Good girl!!! It's always more fun when they run.

See the problem is who pies the senior jumper. If Bill Daus makes his 40,000th jump who is going to pie him? I think it's more reasonable to say,"You can't pie until you've been pied." Certainly if a non-uptight senior jumper is present they should be consulted before pieing.

Any major skydiving milestone is a pieing offense. Especially if the milestone is a big deal to you.

If you pied my without my consent I'd come out swinging NO ONE should be subjected to bastardisation unwillingly You know... when it's clear that someone is so uptight and insecure about some affectionate horseplay, most people (myself included) will just say don't bother it'll just be a bad scene. Bastardization: To lower in quality or character; debase. Do you really feel that someone playfully pieing you in some way lowers you? When I see someone laugh off a pieing I think, "Wow, what a great sense of humor and relaxed attitude they have" Personally I think you'd be bastardizing yourself by "swinging" at the people who think enough of you to honor you with a right of passage tradition.

Pieing is great! It's how we show we love you. I would have been so hurt if my friends hadn't pied me. That's why I always make certain that no major milestone goes unpunished. I do have a bit of a mean streak though. To date I have had one guy buy his own pie and another actually make his own pie (CLASSIC!!!). And as one of the major instigators I will tell you this... The more of a big deal you make of it. The bigger a deal we will make of it. It's love!!! And we want you to get so much love on your face that it's dripping down your chin.

I thought you were bringing the booze?

Well in that case... I think the word for the day should be Machosexual.

Fair enough. Let me rephrase. I'm trying to escalate it.

Do you mind? I'm trying to hijack this thread.

But we are different. Women have less (finer, sparser) hair in than men. I would see their grooming as an attempt to emphasize that difference. So conversely wouldn't a man be emphasizing their masculinity by having more?
