Not an alcoholic, but lived with one for two years. I can say from experience it's more fun to be the alcoholic than the significant other. My plan is to become a heroine addict and get back together with her. Then she'll have to put up with my shit for a few years. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

My momma's so fat, they couldn't get the otter seatbelt around her. Wait, is this the 'rank out yo mama' thread? Anyway, true story. We had to tie the sealtbelt around her leg. Had to leave Saturday afternoon. What is the word on the 22-way. Did they make it? Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Ha! I've never broken my tailbone, but I did have to fly 30 hours to Singapore on my bruised one. That was a bitch. I was standing up on the plane a lot. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

This is a great way to test your mouse sensitivity. I have an optical mouse and was getting 161, or 162 earlier today. I just was at the computer store and picked up a mouse-pad designed for optical mouses (mice? meese?). Anyway, my new speed is 336. And I'm not cheating. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

It's nice to see that some people are being productive after getting laid off from their dot-com jobs by spending a lot of time getting high and making flash movies. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

If you think it sounds loud from 10 feet away, you should try it with your ear right next to it. And that having been said, I will now zip up my big mouth! Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

These are good tips - should also add do not make loops with the tie-ons - we used pull-up cords that were not tied in a loop. Don't want your hand to get caught. Also, we inflated half-way and were letting air out for a lot of the ride up - the air will expand in the raft as you climb to altitude. Fortunately, we had WFFC there to give us tips. But I wish he was holding on with us, instead of just shooting video. We needed a few more holders, methinks. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Interesting - I think there's a DNS propagation issue with my hosting company, as I tried it from some remote machines in different parts of the country, and it only seems to work from the mid-west. OK - I hate wasting drive space on DZ.com, but I've attached the pics only. And I'll have to have a chat with my hosting company *Note* - I've been having some frank discussions with DNS servers around the world - the original links should work a little better now. It's easier for me to talk to computers than people. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Not just women. Everyone. At least if you sound like you don't know anything about car engines. Keep looking - there are plenty of honest ones out there. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Some video taken by my friend Peter (the slurry bomber guy): Raft move (1 meg, Quicktime) Yes, those are my feet at the end.

Deal! Let me know if you need and extra hand or foot or anything. Also, Lummy wants to video, if that's OK. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I always like being a student - live a very simple life. Poor, but simple. Keep at it, it's worth it - the engineering degree gives me plenty of cash to jump with. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

My parachute. And all my gear. Some pics. Logbooks. Jump tickets. Everything skydiving related that I own is at my office. I work from home Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

K - I'm still stuck on the both feet thing. Could you enlighten someone that has very little imagination? I'm not asking for a photo or anything - could you maybe draw a stick figure or something? Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Considering what you have to pay for AFF, the DZO should buy cases of beer for you. I think I bought three cases on AFF - first jump, first time in the peas, and graduating. Maybe not traditional, but that's what I did. These days, I live by the King James version of the beer rules (i.e. the ones on the all-mighty Internet). Here's a copy: http://www.eco.utexas.edu/Homepages/Staff/Faulkner/skydive/beer_rules.html That may not be good enough for you, but it's good enough for me. If I had to buy a case for every first, I would be buying after every jump. And I know I buy more and drink less than most of my friends, so I don't want to hear your guff.

Brazil is an awesome movie. It also has a great running gag about how much we are all slaves to machines. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I don't remember which night - I just remember falling asleep in an alcohol-induced coma a few times that weekend and waking up to the sweet sound of a Casa starting up. There was that first morning that Farmer McNasty was driving by and blowing his horn at 6:00 am. I attached some pics for people that don't want to download the video.

I think all countries' names should have two syllables or less. It keeps the total number of countries down because you start to run out of syllables after a while. Plus you just have crazy things like United States of America getting shortened to "US", since everyone only wants to use two syllables anyway. The US will not kill Saddam. We didn't last time and we won't this time. As bad as he is, the US government understands him. The government would rather have a "known" in power than an "unknown" take over.

I live next to the crack-head apartments. Some days it's tempting to knock on their doors and ask if they want to share a glass dick. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Since a few people have asked, here's a link to some video: http://www.philbell.com/adventures/skydiving/boogies/casa/footie.mov 2.4 meg, so recommended for DSL/Cable/T1 only. Quicktime format. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD
