  1. Quote-- I think things that make life enjoyable should be the highest priority. The things that make the world go around (commerce, etc.) should be relegated to being, simply, the things we do so that we can spare the leisure to do the things that make life beautiful and fun *** perfect, I couldn't have said it better.

  2. Mafia style..... It got rubbed out Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  3. The only problem with jumping it would be the risk of hitting the ribbon. You wouldn't be able to take big formations off of it unless the group is highly experienced. You could still have a blast off of it though. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  4. wow.... that was the most unprofessional reply I've ever seen. I'd change my attitude if I were you, or soon you'll be asking if the customer wants fries with that order. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  5. $153.85 Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  6. I love wal-mart, but most of the employees at my local store have major attitude problems. I have had run-ins there on three seperate occasions, one requiring police assistance. The parking lot guard decided that he didn't like the fact that my kids (14 and 11) wanted to stay in the car while I grabbed dinner. I came out and he started screaming at me, and then bashed me with a shopping cart. After I called the cops, they sent him home for the evening (isn't that leaving the scene of a crime?) and then Wal-mart conveniently lost the tape. I'll bet if I had robbed the place they'd have that damn tape. The man still works there. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    the water is steadily rising in my yard. I hope I don't have to jack up my piano..... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  8. Knock on wood...... I try to pay attention and not get in over my head. I have also learned to use flat turn/ brake turn techniques. This being said, I've also gotten off scott free a time or two when it should have been a trip to the hospital or worse. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    passed through my house( Polk county). looks like we have the eye now. winds shoukd be changing direction now. went out to check on the house we are moving to, no damage but there is moderate damage throughout my area. trees are down in the roads, etc. I saw a fallen tree in traffic that had smashed onto a motorists, it looked rather final. I would estimate local gusts above 60mph. Power is out all over town, but so far ours has stayed on (knock on wood). edit: the eye is actually south of me, must have just been a lull in the storm. We're getting it pretty good now. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

    dude that was fucking wrong. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  15. QuoteReally annoying but would get people in the mind ----------------------------------------------------------- or it might get someone some broken fingers. I don't allow anyone to touch my gear unless they are specifically asked, If you want to have a look (not a touch) at my chest strap and make sure my flaps LOOK closed, fine. Do not go grabbing on my gear, you'll get a punch card all right. Not to be rude, it just seems like an open invitation for people to start getting grabby. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  16. IVANNNNNN! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  17. I've been getting paid to sit on my couch for three months now. I can't take it anymore...... Now the problem is I have to go back to work in a week and don't know if I can handle it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  18. good for you Phree. I really think it teaches them to respect how hard you've worked to support them over the years. I'm not saying I'll cut them off completely, but if you need something there better be a damn good reason for it. I've worked my ass off to get what little I have, and I'm not going to part with it easily. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  19. you moved out at 20, which in my house is 2 years too late. Actually, I'm being harsh, they'll have a choice, either go to college or get out, but once they are out that's it. I'm not gonna play the "live with mom and dad till I'm 26 and driving a new car and not paying any bills" game. I've seen some of my friends take advantage of their folks like that, and it's bullshit. I was on my own rather soon so I have a different outlook on life. It goes something like this GET A JOB!!!! if you are in school: get a part time job. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  20. my girl has two, I have none but have basically adopted hers. When they move out, they ain't coming back. Hope they find good jobs...... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  21. Thanks, Kev! now I know the meaning of a word I will never actually use....... a man in Pennsylvania actually tried to sue God..... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  22. YOUR motivation? I've been sitting on DZ.com for three months while beer bottles full of cigarette butts have piled up around me. Now I have to go back to work in less than a week, and I may actually have a heart attack. I REALLY need some motivation, but in all reality will probably just resort to street drugs.....

  23. I demoed everything but my reserve. I chose to just buy a PD reserve, and I'm OK with that. The first rigs I jumped were Javelins and Wings, chose Wings. I demoed mains for months before I decided on my first canopy, a Sabre (OG Original). I have since bought new gear twice, and stuck with the Wings/PDR combo. My current main I bought used, and put several jumps on it before purchase. I will probably go with a Katana for my next main, but will wait for the 150 as I don't need to downsize. I will demo that main as well before purchase. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  24. I know I know, but I couldn't help it. The thought of Dolly Parton singing the praise of Crisco just really turns me on for some reason.... I've already spoken on the wonders of Can'OLard, so please refer to that post in the future. I have used Crisco, but I did not ingest....... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
  25. Crisco will do you proud everytime! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
