LMAO!!! Well, some are veggies for health...others for moral reasons...I am a veggie for taste! I HATE the taste of meat! Always have...ever since I was (like) 10 and my dad was SHOVING steak in my mouth. HATED IT!! I was raised by a Texan who like it bloody and mooing! I don't care if you eat it in front of me...just don't force me to eat it!!! Keep your meat to YOURSELF!!!(in all respects) Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

ABSOLUTELY!!!! This man is the SHIT!!!!! He is so nice...has such good follow through when you ring him and ask him for something....and is VERY friendly to chat with. In a world where it seems that absolutely EVERYONE is driven by the $$$...it is so nice to deal with someone who REMEMBERS who makes their $$ for them! I will go to Roy for ANYTHING gear wise from NOW on!!!!! People...support this man! He KNOWS what it is like to help those in need...and we should foster this growth!

PHBBBBBLLLTTT yourself!!! And don't stick that tongue out unless you want someone to suck on it! *still feeling horny* Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

I didn't know you were one!!! Did you know I was too? We will have to have a veggie cook-out at the Halloween boogie this year!!!! I would love to swap some reserve stories over some tofu! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

Good one Pammi! I had thought that Sis had told me about some of your tattoos and stuff...in fact...I think I recall seeing the one on your chest poking through in a photo. So you got me! I wasn't taking you serious to begin with...just thought I would contribute to the posting. And as far as tongue rings go...am going on 9 years with mine and I can vouch for the "destroys your teeth" I was the first tongue ring my dentist had ever seen....then EVERYBODY started getting them...and now he says he will give me 100$ to take it out. He hates looking at my Xrays now compared to what they used to look like. Can't help it though...I got it for a reason...and keep for that same reason. Stupid yes...but then again...THAT'S ME!!!!

Sorry guys....I know this is an old thread...but my mum sent this to me after I had posted to this thread...and I thought it was totally hysterical....so for your benefit...enjoy! And I thought it went particularly well with this thread: A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to"Where do pets come from?" Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us." And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves." And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal." And God said, "No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG." And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. And they were comforted. And God was pleased. And dog was content and wagged his tail. After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well." And God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration." And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve. And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings. And Adam and Eve learned humility. And they were greatly improved. And God was pleased. And Dog was happy. And Cat didn't care one way or the other. Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

ROTFLMMFAO!!!! Yeah...you tell her Cyber!!!! Just kidding babe...and what is this about the women there...they are what make it!!! Just because you had ONE run in while you were there (and I don't think you can call talking to her the whole weekend and having lunch with her a run in) doesn't make it all bad! Anyway....we have a plusses and minuses at Monroe...just like everyone...doesn't make it any less of a KICK ASS DZ!!!! It is my "second" home. Of course, (and you all knew it was coming), Parachute Experience in Dunedin New Zealand is my HOME and is very cool. All the guys and gals(all 2 of 'em) are GREAT!! Yeah, it is a small, come as you are, we jump when we feel like it DZ, but that is the best way to learn...and get lots of attention needed for being a student! Most of the other DZ in NZ are great...Ashburton I really liked. Rotorua has nice facilities. Dannevirke is run by an awesome couple, Christchurch Parachute School is okay...for an air base DZ with small packing facilities..but it is indoors at least! Dallas is cool, but what Sis says is right on! And I hear the SD Monterey Bay, CA is supposed to be GORGEOUS!! Supposed to look like Dunedin from the air....and I CAN'T WAIT TO JUMP IT!!!! Skydive Atlanta was cool, but the only time I went was when they had the "polar bear" Otter and it was a slow ride to altitude. When Sis and I tried to jump their Super Otter they have now...NOBODY in the "full" hangar wanted to jump again....as if skydivers ever need another reason to jump other than...to jump!!!!(right Sis!!!) Enough outta me... Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

No offense pFm....but these have made the email rounds a few times over..... But they are good!!!! Old, but good. Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

Yeah Zennie!!!

Okay, sugar, I'll bite!! Having one tat and several body piercings...I can only say that piercings are the way to go if you (in the general sense) want to decorate your body, but don't want to fall victim to the age old argument of "what if I don't want it in years to come"...you can always take it out with nothing more than a pin mark for a scar. All of my body piercings were done to signify some event, something significant to my life. As was my tattoo...I have a tribal Silver Fern starting from a koru going from the center of my back on the left blade and wrapping over the top of my shoulder to the center of my left breast - just above my nipple. Having spent so many years in NZ and being half Kiwi...I didn't want a Maori tattoo because of the significance of the Maori and the fact that I ain't one...and I wanted something to remind me of my time spent in my mothers homeland and how significant to my life it was (just ask Sis how significant it was). So....will I want it in years to come...sure, DAMN RIGHT I will...wouldn't have gotten it if I didn't think I would. Will it fade...yes. will it run...yes. Do I care...not really. hell in 10 years I may have it redone (it was done kinda crappy the first time ) and make it better!! So, Pammi, are they nasty....probably. But that is in the eye of the beholder. I look at my shoulder everyday in the mirror and am proud to wear my silver fern. My mother...who is the WORLDS biggest hater of all body adornments...absolutely loves it...because it is pretty. She hates my body piercings...but having two sons with them covering most of their respective body parts...she is glad her kids aren't "normal" preppie over achievers. At least she has something interesting to contribute to a conversation with her girlfriends that isn't as embarrassing as "my son's in rehab, prison, or dead already". Now, I skydive...so that makes my Mum even more "dis" popular with her girlfriends!! So, you wanted a reaction..and you got one. Now...as far as degrading your body....well, dying your beautiful hair is certainly one way to go about it!!!! - says the man who has dyed his hair numerous times!!!

Yeah...me too....and I LOVE it when I do...I am getting SOO GOOD at it!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

For years I was into mellow alternative and modern rock (like...REM, B52's, U2, Toad the wet sprocket, Oingo Boingo, They might be giants) but after living in NZ for 6 years and only getting the top 40 on the radio...and having a flatmate/cousin who was into the harder shit like PJ, Metallica, Soundgarden... I am now into the harder stuff...Sum 41, Blink 182, Limp Bizkit, Metallica, Alice in Chains, etc. and I still like the mellower shit...Dave Matthews Band, Train, Fuel, Incubus... then I go through my female vocalists stage sometimes...Sarah McLauglin, Tori Amos, Jewel, Dido, Tracey Chapman, Macy Gray, etc. Not only do they sing well, but they are honeys in concert...I challenge any man to clown me for liking the first 4...cause when you see them...you love 'em too!!!! Hell you don't even have to listen to 'em sing at the concert..I just usually stare and drool!!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

My slider got stuck half way and caused me to have a streamer... my main flap was open and my pin had almost slipped out... me and these other 2 girls did a 3 way and it went to shit...ended up with both of them on top of me so I had to hold my position until they were clear then pull my pud...

With you Jessica....I would love to have a team with you on it. Okay...our first formation is a four way compressed accordian that funnels on exit and Clay floats....you two fall into me and....[ooops, did I just say that?? "how do I tell these people that I have no internal monologue?"] HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

8 more Zennie....c'mon...give us some good Zen shite to discuss!!! I reckon you'll have your new tag by the end of tonight!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

Clay...I don't need to brown nose at work....I don't give a shit if I do work or not. And as far as the Sis goes....she is a great person with a big heart....(just don't get her emotional!!!)...and she is a really good friend to have on your side. you're just jealous, Clay, 'cause I got to jump (with) her twice already...and you haven't!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

I agree....more chick bums!!! None of these hairy male things..or REALLY big *bouncing* ones please. Give me the soft, supple skin of a woman's arse ANY DAY!!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

Ok sis...no fair eliminating all the other guys on here by listing all of my qualities!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!! Seriously...the class list and the tech letter are the funniest things I have read in a long time. You know you are making an ass of yourself when other people come out of their offices to find out who is laughing so loudly!!!! And guys...I can vouch for the Sis...she is the easiest person to get along with...and if she gives you her heart....man...do you have something to cherish. you know i loves ya sis...can't wait to jump with you again! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

Thank you Speed!!! I knew there was an ?ao sounding word in the authors name. I have been racking my brain trying to remember it at work, but couldn't. You rock dude...cheers. I hate when I don't remember names. I read most of the Tao Te Ching...and loved it. anyone out there never really thought that organised religion was ever "right" for them could do some good to read a little Tao...and if you're not sure you want to read it ALL just yet...go with the Tao of Pooh...kind of like "Tao for Dummies". Still good and if you like Pooh and all them...it is very cleverly written! Wednesday blues for those who have them (coming from a guy in Atlanta grey!)

Yeah Sis...finish it up so you can be an out of work over qualified entry level skydiver like me....and all the rest of us shit-heads out there looking for work at the same time and not finding ANYTHING thanks to the son of a former president who in *someone* elses infinite wisdom decided to pay everyone for being an American....only to put the older generation in the poor house and have to tax us later to make it all back!! It is a shame that with all the Ph.D's on Dubya's staff....not one of them has ever put a seconds thought into Ricardian Equivalence. That'll learn them for going further into their profession! Hire the Bachelor degrees!! They THINK more!! [/my mid-day rant] Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

Jess, hon...sounds to me like you should consider investing in a new container. This can't be a good thing...to have to tighten your pop top more frequently than its pack cycle. And....if you need your pop-top tightened....I'll volunteer to at least give it a whirl P.S. You gonna be at the Halloween boogie at SDD...am thinking of coming out for it. Will have to stick around and drink a little longer this time. won't be SO tired from a drive hopefully! would love to catch up "for real" this time! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

Very clever!!!! and going off of my life at the moment and in the past....VERY TRUE!!!! But I still love 'em Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????

Man....stealing gear is SO f*^ked up!!!! I know that a lot of dz's have transient jumpers frequently visit...but damn man...karma is terrible. If you visit my dz and take something that doesn't belong to you....I can't wait to hear about how it catches up to you later!!! Between Flea's personal storage in L.A. and this...Some people just don't get it yet...do they??? WANKERS!!!!!! Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Pyke NZPF A - 2584 USPA C- ?????
