Oooh...oooh....pick me - pick me!!! I can't imagine anything better than some massive funnel dives over a beach at sunset!!! I tell you now - that grin will have to be jackhammered off my face!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Man, you're right...it takes almost NOTHING to get him going!! Boy, the fun we could have with this!!! Perhaps not too much fun...don't want to have to bring another law suit against him!! (oohh...oh no he di'nt!!) Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Why do I have a mental image of Cartman screaming..."I'm not fat...I'm BIG BONED!!!" OH, and anyone who dresses their animal up for the holidays... ...must HATE their animal!! Have you no respect for their dignity?? Did you like when your mother made you wear Aunt Vera's stupid pink rabbit pajamas?? I THINK NOT!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Shimmell....what's with all the GEESE??? I mean, I know you wish you could swoop the pond like some geese might fly over it...but really - positive mental imagery is not your thing!!! GEESH or JEESH or JEEZ... get it straight!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

I've got room, Nichole, but yer chubby excuse for a chihuahua may have to live outside. Might give my puppy a complex!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

WoooHooo....Par-tay on Marco next Feb!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Much liver abuse is sure to follow!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

I'm quite content to sit this challenge out. I'll be on the sidelines with my popcorn and drink...and I'll be the first to start the "Brandy-Brandy" chanting!!! Brando will learn that it's much better to have her on your side, than on yer ass!!! And, it also helps when you show up and put your money in the game...makes for a real 'battle' as opposed to just simple shite talk - as it appears Brandon is content to continue with!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Yes, you're right sweetie...you kicked my butt! Beat me badly!! Embarrassed all men in attendance with your supreme display of card game prowess!! And yes, yours is BIGGER than mine!!!! But, I wouldn't have it any other way!! Your bragging rights are good for another 12 days...then, we'll see who walks with more!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Still - I at least thought I would make the list... ...even with my (?) question mark!! But you're right...much like a woman - I assumed you would read my mind!!! (as he shields himself from the onslaught!!) Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Bloody Carnivores!!! Oh, wait...or were you referring to Justin and Lee running around naked all night?? hahahahahah......wait.... ....EWWWWWWWWWW!!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

And someone PLEASE tell me how it is that I started the darn list...and STILL managed to get left off of it!!!??? I see how it is...I get it. That's cool. It was all that talk about my trophy wasn't it? Look - if you don't want me to show up - just say something. You don't have to drop subtle hints all damn month - then pretend to be my friend when I show up!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Let me guess...you packed for him...and he some how managed to "leave early" and not pay you!!!! Damn Spence - now you're sharin' the love around the country!! How hard is it to remember that you don't pack your own crap anymore?? So, when you're looking to settle up before you leave a dz...REMEMBER YOUR PACKERS!!! LOL...too funny!! Don't worry RobbieRobb....he always pays...just don't forget to make him "pay" for not paying!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Damn straight!! Finally - Jay gets it! Let the girls win...that way they'll think what they're doing is "fun" and want to play some more. Then we can just sit back and get sloshed!! When's this Biloxi trip? If it doesn't cramp my France plans...I'm in. I haven't gambled for real in ages!! Might need to bring a crow-bar if I happen to find the craps table!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Figured I would start the thread. Possible chance I can't make, but I am just following the example led by Papa Whit. I figured I could talk up how wonderful it would be for like 3 weeks, then back out with a week to go!!

Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Yeah, but think of this Billy... How many of those "bullies" are WORLD CLASS ATHLETES NOW?? So, ...born a 'socially slow deaf runt', but you've blossomed to an inspiration for all who know you!! {still can't hear $hit though!!! } bwahahahahaha!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Yup - that's right, Karma is a bitch!! Brandy and Jess played BRILLIANTLY and deserve - not only - every man's respect at the card table (LEE, who btw, wouldn't even bet on his own wife!!!), but Brandy deserves a mountain more of respect for putting up with me all weekend!! Ya knows I loves ya, gurl!! Jess is the most innocent, and best looking!, shark I've ever met. Gents, watch out when she's got $$ on the table. Congrats on your win! Kudos to Hans...the luckiest 'last chip' better I saw this weekend!! Remember Hans...always keep one!! HUGE SPECIAL THANKS to Jay's brothers and sister-in-law for making the trip out to the dz for only poker! Congrats to Pruitt for graduating. Don't forget your beer! & that's 24, not 12!! (wait - you had to sell an x-box to graduate...supposed you'll have to sell blood for the beer!!) And, too all those who didn't show up...you missed one hell of a party!! You suck! Anyone else tired?? Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

If you're talking about stuff fer yer video mount - I have some extras you can 'borrow'. Hey - are you nominating anyone to do your dubbing? Any chance I can get them to hook me up too. I'm planning on doing video all weekend, and I don't want to make peeps wait too long for videos. Either that - or you'll have to show me how to dub on Friday night! P.S. Spoke to Bobster earlier...he's going to be hobblin' around on Saturday with us...and staying over!! Okay ladies...time to brush up on your "poor Bob" skills!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Don't tease me...unless you want to please me!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

So, who all is going to be there Friday afternoon/evening? I see the Tally gang (or most of them) will be. I'll be there after work - possibly about 6-7ish. Anyone else?? Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Yeah - be careful of mr shimmel...he has a tendency to be sooo protective... ...he'll escort you all the way into a post-coital slumber!!! bwahahahahahahaha!!!! (sorry shimmel - couldn't resist!!) Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Thanks!! I'm not looking forward to it, but I guess I have no choice now. I was going to bail and wait for Bob, but I don't know if I can hold off until March for a rating!! Now, I've got to get my hands on a SIM before tomorrow morning...wouldn't that be funny. Get all this way and fail because I'm not prepared! LOL. Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Brit - I think you have Bob and I confused!! While I'm sure Bob would love to be credited with 400+ jumps - he has a modest 280ish!! He has also downsized from a Sabre 2 170 to a Sabre 2 150 within a hundred jumps - MUCH to the chagrin of his rigger and good friend. He proved he could land his canopy safely well enough, but sometimes well enough will bite you in the ass...TRUST ME I have the scars to prove it. All - I don't care how you downsize, and what you downsize - smaller canopies mean faster approaches. Whether you go from a Raven 180 square to a Heatwave 150 full elliptical (and break your femur) or you go from a Sabre 2 170 to a Sabre 2 150 (and just break your fibula) - a DOWNSIZE IS A DOWNSIZE!! Take them SLOW!! Take it easy out there - PLEASE!! Recognize that people who jump smaller canopies got them after HUNDREDS of jumps on their previous canopies. Until you can land your canopy in all conditions and in all areas DON'T DOWNSIZE YET. How will you know when that time is...when you have to land off dz in a front yard next to power lines and trees AND WALK AWAY!! Then, and only then, should you THINK about it. Please be safe!! (Bob - if you're reading this - you know I still support your decision, but I did warn you (from experience no less). Hey, perhaps I'll make the first jump on your new container when it comes in...after all, you'll be on the ground!) Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

All, Boboso had surgery this morning to put a plate on his fibula and re-align it with his tibula. I will keep you all posted, but he will be held overnight tonight for general observation, and released tomorrow morning/afternoon. I'll be paying him a visit this Friday night, so I'll take pictures of the gore, and fill you all in on his progress. He has no choice but to be at the MoFo Boogie, and he knows it. I've relegated him to puppy duty, and that should help him maintain a constant bevy of female well-wishers (for him) and cooers (for Kaha). He may not stay the weekend, so be sure to pay him a visit when you can. I'll fill you all in later. Also, if you know Ganja Rodriguez - send him a well wish too. Apparently he messed himself up pretty bad (non-skydiving related), and needs plenty of support. Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic

Single, and looking. Although - now my time will mostly taken up by the sky, and my new 'child'. We're working on house/crate-training...so, no more long party nights for a while - but she's WORTH IT!!

Hang on...that probably was Bob!!! Now that his left leg is longer than his right (in case you haven't heard - he broke his L fibula just above the ankle) - perhaps he was standing on the cast for the camera angle!! Sorry bro - couldn't resist. Ya know I'm wishing it didn't happen - cuz now I's gots noones to jump wif!! Guess I'll have to shoot video until you're healed!! Hear that Brit - I'm free ALL weekend for video - so I should be humming by the end of it!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr. Rigger, RN/BSN/Paramedic
