A young lady at the Moab boogie this weekend had on a shirt that was an amusing spin on some of the stereotypical female behavior brought up in this thread. Some of you have probably seen it already. It said "Does this canopy make my ass look fast?"

The worst hurricanes are always the ones with only one r in them.

In others- be original In me- I wouldn't know

More often than not, unfortunately, I end up telling the woman that I've definitely had better. And that she could maybe lose a little weight. I do like what Sean Penn said to the young lady in Sweet And Lowdown.... "Did you like that? Yea, I knew you would... They say I'm a great lover."

Yes. Women frighten me. When one gets too close, I use the usual ruses to avoid contact. Such as holding up a newspaper. Clearing my throat and suddenly seeing something fascinating the next isle over, by the canned soups. Or stepping behind a structure such as a doorway, or a parked car.

Many of you will be familiar with the Simpsons episode in which Lisa notes that there is an inverse relationship between happiness and intelligence. That is, the smarter you are, the more likely you are to be unhappy. What's your opinion on this? What has been your experience?

You might also try Mesquite. I'm sure someone here knows their number.

How did you come up with the cashola?
Cava replied to Spatula's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
To pay for the student jumps... I did the math on how much I spent on drinking a few beers every day, plus additional cigarettes smoked when drinking, and realized I could pay for the $tudent jumps with that money I was literally pissing away. I didn't have to go dry, just cool it during the week. That paid for the $1100 in student jumps over 5 months. To get rig... I got the container and reserve from one person and the main from another, and both were cool with large monthly payments. -
I fly a Diablo so when I throw out I'm just preparing to fight with it as it opens. The first time I jumped it to see if I wanted to buy it, I thought I had a mal because upon opening it dove and turned really hard. I learned quickly that I have to be on the risers before it inflates because it does that every time. At first I thought its radical openings were annoying, but now I look forward to it. Another thing I'm aware of when I pull, since I have no cypres, is, "One simple action now or I'm dead. I guess I'll pull."

Try this. When in the sit position and you're starting to get unstable, pull your legs in under you while keeping your arms out. That will keep you vertical. Then try again putting your legs out, pulling them in again when they want to flip you over. If you can at least stay vertical doing that, your legs will eventually find their stable spot.

Hey Dave, Last I talked to Jack was about three weeks ago. He thinks the 182 may have been damaged by the wind that messed up the DC. He said Bob would have to check it out. I don't know if Bob is back yet or if Bob will still do HPs out of the TBone. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Several weeks ago, many of you will remember, I expressed rage and disappointment when I discovered that my garden hose was missing. I assumed that the house painters working on the house next door had stolen it. I have just learned that my landlord had drained it and put it in the basement for safekeeping during the winter. I now wish to apologize to all house-painting skydivers for assuming that you are all a bunch of hose-stealing pervert degenerates. Since learning of my hose's wherabouts, I have cut down my drinking considerably, as well as my smoking. I want to thank anyone out there who may have also been concerned about my hose.

Got SCUBA liscenced years before jumping, but could never affort to go on vacation anywhere exotic. Finally did one ocean dive a couple years ago in the BVI's, to a shipwreck called the Rhone. I have also noticed the Jump/SCUBA thing at my DZ. Just a few weeks ago some of us went to the local Dive place and farted around in the pool with tanks on. Something to do when it's 15 degrees outside and the DZ is closed.

I recall hearing an interview on NPR in which the author of a book, I believe it was Fast Food Nation but not positive, reported that McD actually jacked up the flavors of its items by adding chemical flavor enhancers, effectively making the flavors more intense. These flavor enhancers are such, if I understood it correctly, that they could actually make a plate of horseshit taste like an apple pie.

I pack occasionally for fun jumpers, more often just the rentals and student rigs when needed. My opinion would be that the entire job is mine. If a pack job has my name on it, I would prefer to do everything myself. That's the deal as I see it, and probably more importantly, if the pack job works or mals, or spanks someone etc., it's my work. Besides, if someone else prepped the rig for me, I would just have to recheck everything they did anyway. I've been called the "anal packer." So be it. I'm slow, careful, and I double check everything. As far as courtesies afforded me when someone wants me to pack, I only ask people to stow the toggles when they land so I don't have to spend ten minutes untwisting the brakes. But I still get that all the time anyway. So my opinion is, if you're being paid, do it.

Drink, smoke, saving money? I pass the time drinking, smoking, and thinking about how many jumps that's costing me.

What's ur weirdest skydiving dream?
Cava replied to xavenger's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
The most amusing one was this. The DZO was in the driver seat of an old 70's station wagon, driving down the road with a bunch of the jumper regulars all piled in the back. Like we were a big family on the annual family camping trip or something. Like going to Wallyworld or whatever. We were getting loud and rowdy. The DZO can't concentrate on the road. "Pipe down back there!" he says. Weird. But funny. Sort of. I'd really like to know who my dream writers are. -
No joke. A couple months ago I was coming home from the DZ on a Sunday night, and some kid in his daddy's oversized SUV blew through a red light and broadsided me. Almost totalled my car. If I was half a second slower the results could have been permanent. As for dangerous, risky behaviour I no longer engage in... 1 Having sex with someone I don't know. 2 Scrapping with my cat when drunk. He Will Win.

When at roughly 5pm I break out the can of tunafish for my cat's dinner, and he goes batshit, as if he doesn't get it every day for dinner like clockwork. So for those few minutes when I'm preparing it for him, in his eyes I am The Ultimate Being. But of course ten minutes later he would prefer it if I didn't bother him. "They bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, 'let em crash'"

My neighbor isn't a dork, but the guys who painted her house recently are. In the narrow space between our homes was my 75' garden hose, attached to the spicket, which was perfect for washing my van in front of the house. And they FUCKING STOLE IT! What kind of people steal a guy's garden hose? Your car stereo, wallet, mountain bike, well you expect those to get stolen. But what kind of self-respecting thief steals your GARDEN HOSE? I haven't been that pissed off in years.

What does your chest strap look like after opening?
Cava replied to rocketfeuille's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Mine would slip all the way until the end stopped at the buckle. So my rigger stitched on another peice of cheststrap, effectively doubling its thickness. It never slips anymore.
