PLFKING

Sounds like you're having a blast ! I'm starting to do a lot more RW also....it's a lot of fun knowing I can swoop down to a formation, and dock softly, without sending everyone else hurling across the sky ! Lucky ass....I'm still working on this....oh, well, I'll try again tomorrow (actually, today)....... Don ( still the PLF King, unfortunately....)

I'd have to cast my vote for Spectre also....just based on the diligent research that Michele provided... Don btw....great pic, Jenn ! Can we see what you look like with a rig on ?

Is it Shark ? Is it Phil Trum ? Don "Outta the plane from 3 miles high, burnin' a hole down through the sky..." - Haiz Rail

Nope, it's not me (my hands aren't large enough, anyway....) I'm guessing Triple F or Clay. Don

Really nice pics, guy...great composition, too. Did you jump any over there ? I really liked your pic also, flyhi....lots of good contrast with the fields and the water. I had met a guy at a DZ who told me that you could see the entire Big Island at exit......I always wondered if that was true or not. Now it's definitely on my "To Do" list ! Don

If your landings looked like mine, you'd be checking too...... The PLF King

Congrats, Spectre... If there was doubt before, it's now official... You, Sir, are addicted.

Didn't find the peach, but I now have new wallpaper on my screen...Thanks ! The PLF Emir

An invitation over to Pam and Merrick's ? Sure...I'll be there ! (Want me to bring chips or anything ?) Also, I read on another post about Merrick having a job interview this week, and it got me wondering.......if the interviewer asks how he broke his leg, what will Merrick's reponse be ? If I was in that situation, I'm not sure I'd be honest about it ; on the other hand, if he is hired they'll find out he's a diver sooner or later... The PLF Thing

In order of importance : 1) college football (Michigan Wolverines) (have actually been known to leave a sunny DZ to catch them on the tube) 2) college football (Big Ten) 3) college football (SEC) 4) NHL (go Red Wings !) 5) college basketball (has to be a Top 20 game, tho) 6) World Cup semis and finals 7) NFL (Lions and Steelers) 8) Detroit Tigers (altho I wouldn't call what they play "baseball !) 9) NASCAR 10) SportsCenter 11)...... 12)..... 863) watching 7-year-old blind girls play tennis 864) watching glue dry 865) attending my own funeral 866) having the worms consume my body after I'm buried 867) watching World Wide Wrestling The PLF Admiral

Two gay men are driving down the road, and they pass a funeral home. One turns to the other and says "You wanna stop and have a cold one ?"

It HAS been a long time.....maybe he ran out of meds, Iona left, and the dog's pregnant...... That PLF Dude

Where is MikeD10270 when you REALLY need him !

I used to live in Texas, and still have friends in Mineral Wells and Grapevine...... 1) Bum Phillips never did get that door kicked down.... 2) Spectre 230, the way I heard it, you buried him in a coffee cup.....I think you're giving them WAY too much credit ! The PLF Maggot

You know it.... You must have come along a little later than me....all I can remember getting was a steno pad and a copy of Mr. Roget's masterpiece......we had to supply our own whisky and rolling papers..... Yes, M'aam. (maa'm ? ma'am ? maam' ?) The Professor of PLF University

I'm sorry...I didn't mean to make you cry ! (now I feel terrible....) Actually, I was a Journalism/Communications Major, so I know how you feel.......mispellings are MY pet peeve.... (and I probably mispelled "mispellings" -- I always do, but I'm too lazy to hit "Spellcheck" ) The PLF Punctuationist

Well, since I've now got only 8 stand-ups in 50 jumps, maybe it isn't that my depth perception is bad.......maybe it's my feminine side trying to make itself heard ! The "True" PLF Queen ( "Has anyone seen a penis lying around ? I seem to have mis-placed mine......." )

" Y'all " is how we do it here in NC.......I just assumed you Texans did it differently than the rest of the known world..... ( Damn !! I finally get the chance to start my very own "flame war", and the topic is something as lame as grammar !) The PLF Senor

[Texas drawl] "Well, now, little filly.....you'all need some hep with that ? Dont you'all be a'tellin' me the red done wore off already ?" [/Texas drawl] The PLF Cowpoke (sitting quietly, stirring the campfire with his penis.....)

Hey Brandon -- I can't believe the opinion of a bunch of drunken, insane, and hedonistic skydivers would mean anything to you ; whatever you get, you'll love, because it will be YOUR rig ! I'm partial to a combination of dirt-brown, grass-green, twig-silver, "pavement tar-black", "hangar-wall white", and "Cessna-blue" -- but maybe just because that's the color combo I have...... And my jumpsuit matches too, except for the additional "bloodstain-red", and "pulped squirrel grey".......(the little bastard saw me coming, but just couldn't run quite fast enough.....) That PLF Hombre

Hey Dan -- Stop by Adrenaline Air Sports in Moneta, VA.......the view at exit is gorgeous -- mountains, lakes, rivers, coves, islands, forest (oh,........and a few bikini-clad ladies hanging out on the houseboats....) can you say "water-landing?" The PLF CEO

That's tough luck, Merrick -- hope you have good meds and a speedy recovery ! The PLF King

Thanks, Triple F, send 'em on ......the wee ones around here are wise to me now, so I've taken to drugging their Kool-Aid to make them lethargic, and spreading candy bars around the base of the windsock.........only problem now is that I got used to nailing them on the run ; they're a lot harder to hit while lying on the ground in a drug-induced sleep....... (I'm thinking about opening a free day-care center on the weekends -- with LOTS of field trips to the DZ......) The PLF Professional

Anne -- It blows my mind every weekend. Driving to the DZ gives me a couple of hours to anticipate stepping out of that plane for the first jump of the day, knowing how terminal is going to feel, looking forward to that opening shock that represents another life saved, soaring over the hangars and runway, looking down at the black dots that represented me a mere half-hour ago -- watching someone else in this same position in the sky and knowing exactly how they were feeling, even though we were seperated by 3/4 of a mile of blue sky. The whole day is spent in a flurry of packing, practicing procedures, watching friends land, laughing at the bullshit stories in the packing area, trying to lay back and relax for just a moment, ranking fellow jumpers to the dogs and back, feeling that nervous adrenaline flow during takeoff until the wheels finally leave the earth, gawking and admiring the beauty of the countryside on the way to altitude, and knowing in a few short minutes you're going to have an even better view, unencumbered by the walls of the aircraft. Another great day of jumping over, 5 or 6 more jumps logged, and back into the car with friends for the journey home, knowing what the topics of discussion will be and looking forward to it. A quiet break in the conversation, and that's when I ask myself if I really did just jump out of a moderately-good aircraft, and the answer is always a resounding "Hell, YES !" "AND I CAN'T WAIT 'TIL NEXT WEEKEND !!" The PLF Pauper

Well, I'm not in Deland, and I wouldn't consider myself as "hard-up", but I think you're a cutie too ! The PLF Prince
