  1. Jean-Luc Picard, hands down. Bald guys RULE !! Just ask us...
  2. Finally . Congratulations, Jenn....er, I mean Duck. Quack_Quack Attack . "Ironically, not long after I was "stamped" another instructor took me aside and said I didn't deserve it- -after 25 jumps, why didn't I know how and where to land?" Dat right dare B a dicky... Tell 'im to quack-off.
  3. I for one, am filled w/respect & arousal for a woman who has the stuff to stand up for what she believes in. It's sexy !! I know this is you, Kimberly. I think you're hot . Most little girls don't have the stones to take a stand. Most lil boys here are threatened by your no-nonsense style. You ROCK, beautiful
  4. Pimp that one out in Photoshop.
  5. So Jen, There's been some nice weather, lately. Any news? Is the duck gonna have an A stamped on its belly in the next blog installment?
  6. "Edited to add: beans." Beans before getting on the jump plane?!? Are you mad ?
  7. Wait a minute?! Billy, let's see a picture of your Mother-in-Law holding today's paper .
  8. Crazy Gringos... It wasn't Chupa. Everyone knows Chupa has three claws that suck the blood out of a victim's flank. Duhhh
  9. Well, I could read that long Wiki entry about an ancient sandbox. Or, I could just bounce it right back atchya... Happy Nowruz to you, too. Wow. I feel festive, now. Whoopie.
  10. Piantanida died following his third attempt. His suit suffered an explosive loss of pressure @~54K'. No one knows how his suit failed. It took 25 minutes to get him back on the ground despite immediately cutting him away from the balloon. Unconscious when they pulled him from the gondola. He never came out of a coma, & died months later. He wrote a letter to his three year old daughter while suited up (to be opened on her 18th birthday in 1981), just before launching. He reached 123K' on his second attempt. He couldn't jump because his O2 connector jammed onto his suit. He couldn't free it wearing the pressure gloves.
  11. If I ever break down & buy a Kindle. I'll probably visit that library. I only use my local library to vote.
  12. I bet he's really chomping at the bit, now . Who wouldn't want to make that jump?
  13. "We are not that interested in the Alamo..." NEVER admit that in Texas . They'll string ya up for that.
  14. Hello & Welcome to you. I'm sorry to read about your colostomy. I just took a quick look. It's pricey jumping in Oz, huh? Are you licensed at 33 jumps? How much is a jump ticket there? Their site only shows tandem pricing. You're gonna love the sport.
  15. I see your point, but... Correct me if I'm wrong. I've never played w/front-riser dives or anything like that. I've no interest in swooping. Does not the canopy slow right back down very quickly from such a maneuver? People playing w/90° front riser approaches at 1:1 slow right back down again, no?
  16. I don't have a problem w/the weight limits. I do have one w/the high performance landing requirement. Why should a Noob be forced to do a double front riser approach? He or she may have no desire to ever do such landings.
  17. "cops should be held to a higher standard. They have greater freedom in where they can carry, unholster, brandish, and what types of guns they can buy." This. The idiot left a loaded weapon in the car w/young kids who knew it was there... Had John Q Public done that? He'd end up in prison for years.
  18. Oh, it's about credit cards. I thought Kimberly Gibbs was trying to get men to look at her...
  19. "They might be soulmates!" Riiiiiiiiiiiight.....
  20. "I'm pretty sure that no blurring of "portions" will be necessary at those temps. They will not be visible, plain and simple!" I don't care. Some things just aren't meant to be seen by other males . I want the blur-field in that vid.
  21. As a matter of fact, I am. You crazy Bastid. Film a jump at those temps wearing nothing but a smile (w/appropriate portions blurred out). I bet it would go viral on Youtube. That would be an effective way to spread your gospel. Tape a large temp gauge to the strut for proof.
  22. If I recall correctly. The mother got a significant settlement for that one.
