Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

That sounded like some sort of gauntlet hitting the floor.

I would say.......70 mph. And I'm not even going to wonder how it "came up in conversation".....I've heard some of your conversations. Edit -- well, I was close. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

In a wingsuit ? That would be fun as hell. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

If you had the skill-set and the means.......what would your ultimate jump consist of ? 1. I'd like to do the same jump as in that Bond movie. where he skiied off the cliff with a ten-second delay, then pulled (can't remember which flick). This one might be do-able. 2) I'd like to drag a toe through the lip of Niagra Falls, then turn and land downstream......my swooping skills will probably never be good enough to attempt that, though. What would yours be ? I need some more options.

1. Whats your name? Don 2. How old are you? 45 3. Why did you decide to start jumping out of airplanes? My best friend's death by cancer at age 42. 4. Are you single or taken? Married? Single 5. Do you have kids? None I'm aware of. 6. What do you drive? '86 944T, '79 CJ-5, "03 Shadow Ace.....not hard to tell I'm single, huh? 7. Have you ever done a kisspass? Early on in my jumping career someone tried to give me one, but since I didn't know what she was doing, I backed off....I thought she was just out of control and closing too fast. 8. Where do you live? North Carolina 9. Do you have any pets? None at present, although my neighbor's Boxer comes over occasionally to watch ESPN with me. 10. How many jumps do you have? around 180 11.

I'd like to knock around the European mountain ranges for a summer, and see the Eiger in particular. 20. What's your favorite color? Blue.

I saw a guy on The History Channel a few months ago.....he could have been your twin. Didn't catch his name though. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Messicans are funny, sometimes. Sorry you didn't make it to SGC.....I was hoping we could do a rodeo and attempt to break the sound barrier.

That's not a horse.....that's a bottling plant for Miller Lite.

"What's it to be....bowels in, or bowels out ? Like Judas.....I'll decide for you, if you'll permit it." "Ciao." Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

A nice lid can make anything anyone look great. Congrats, Michelle ! Here's to your next hundred. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

That's exactly right. I've never understood your self-proclaimed "bytch" status, as I have spent several days in your company, and you've never acted bytchy at all. Drunk on occasion, and exhibitionist on occasion, but never bytchy. It must be tough trying to pretend to be a bad-ass.

I was thinking of that one as soon as I saw the title to this post. And my all-time favorite single post was Kris' reply in that thread. It still cracks me up. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

I'm afraid no amount of begging will prevent that from happening....probably no amount of praying either, but I'm still going to try.

Big, bad Jack........the top of that cake's gettin' kinda crowded, ain't it ? Happy birthday, man. I'll tip one in your honor later. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Pull out your pistol and track towards Patrick Swayze. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Call me if you need any help....that's what friends are for.

So true.....I made my first trip there over Christmas, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I took about 40 pics on my digital, and 96 on my Canon SLR. The pics don't do it justice. Does Skydive Sedona operate from that particular airport ? If so, I'll definitely plan another trip. I'd be really pissed off to find out they were open for business at Christmas, and I missed the opportunity to jump there. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band.

Level Two. Damn skydivers.....I need to hang with a purer group of people.

Thanks for sharing those, Jake. Looks like y'all sent him off in grand style. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

Same here....no A/C in my grandparent's house in NC. So, I slept more than one night in the kiddie pool in the side yard. That worked out well for the itching, but i was terrified i would fall asleep and drown (even though the water was only about 8" deep). And Speedy.....don't use the Chlorox on your face. There is a slight risk of scarring, plus it may make you nauseous for a few minutes. Don "When in doubt I whip it out, I got me a rock-and-roll band. It's a free-for-all."

I used to get extreme cases when i was younger....completely swollen-shut eyes, shots, the whole 9 yards. This will sting for about 2 minutes, but it's a guaranteed cure. Scrape the sores until they are open and weeping. Next, dip a rag into Chlorox (non-diluted), wring out the rag, then "blot" the sore with the Chlorox. Like i said, it will sting like hell for a little bit, but with only 1 or 2 applications the Chlorox will dry up the sore in less than two days.

"I thought I could clear those trees....they didn't look THAT tall." (self-explanatory....but not me) "Yeah, I know I was supposed to flare.....I just completely forgot about it." (a guy I went through FJC with....he broke his back on his first jump) "When you disappeared behind the trees, we all started listening for the sound of brakes squealing....."

I can loan Sunshine my fleece pullover again, if you want.......she won't LOOK like a sheep, but then I'm sure it's mostly a "feel-and-textures" thing when you're doing farm animals.....right ? And no need to return the pullover when you're done.

I hope the muffler had cooled down before he attempted insertion. That there's good 'ritin'.
