  1. yeah the dumbest thing you could have done was to ignore the problem, not ask anyone, and jump that rig as it was set up. so you did the right thing MB 3528, RB 1182
  2. a few shells containing old sarin and mustard gas constitute WMDs!?!?? boy i hope they don't find any more of those super-dangerous WMDs there... such as cluster bombs, which we use all the time. or if they visit a store in iraq they might find it contains items used in the production of a WMD!!!!!! bleach and ammonia!!!! they form Chlorine gas when mixed!!! oh noooo another terrible WMD ready to be unleashed. [/sarcasm] MB 3528, RB 1182
  3. you are missing the option: I don't care if he smokes dope, just so long as he doesn't do it before and during rigging operations. the only option on there for "I don't care" says that you smoke dope too... thats not true for me. MB 3528, RB 1182
  4. is it that stupid "about:blank" virus/spyware thats been going around? i got that on my computer too... and i think i finally killed it. MB 3528, RB 1182
  5. oh god our pilot tells that one whenever we have a first jump class. the students all giggle nervously while we roll our eyes. MB 3528, RB 1182
  6. A world without lies would be a world without relationships: "honey, do i look fat in this dress?" "why yes you do, because you are fat." MB 3528, RB 1182
  7. those are pretty funny. I like the "if you are trapped in a small enclosed space, conserve oxygen by not farting" hahahha I should print that out and put it in our DZ's cessna. MB 3528, RB 1182
  8. one of my friend's dad is a truck driver, and he said he listens to books on tape all the time. he says they are much much better then listening to the same old CDs on long drives. but I occupy myself on long drives by being geeky. I'll see how far it is to the next big town, guess my average speed, and try to estimate to the minute when I'll drive by that town... I'm actually pretty good at it. MB 3528, RB 1182
  9. I've gotten that a few times... its because movies paint skydivers as a bunch of crazy, wild, drug-using troublemakers. just watch point break or cutaway. MB 3528, RB 1182
  10. oooo a whopping 4 posts too. hmmm seems I must be in a fairy tale, since i see a TROLL! MB 3528, RB 1182
  11. don't forget that most jumpers will have absolutely no problem with you standing behind them, and have them say out loud what they are doing as they pack. now of course theres much more to learning to pack then that, but its a start, and doesn't cost anything... in fact, i think most experienced jumpers would be kinda proud to have a student think of them as a good packing teacher. MB 3528, RB 1182
  12. I got a 3 year old cell phone that comes with about 5 different types of rings/beeping noises. thats it. MB 3528, RB 1182
  13. Thing is, fifteen years from now the newbies will be asking us oldtimers: "... and why does every jumper over 50 years old have a tie-dye rig?" Elvisio "the thought of me at fifty is scary" Rodriguez bwahahahah. i think you hit the nail on the head for those old rainbow rigs. sometime in the future, new jumpers are gonna have to buy "one of those ugly old tie-dye rigs... but at least it was cheap" and i met the guy who designed my used canopy several years ago... he still thought the neon pink/neon green/white scheme looked cool. MB 3528, RB 1182
  14. i knew about that website a few years ago, and of course the first thing i got a picture of was my DZ. then whenever i would come back from jumping, i would make a little mark where i had landed that day. yeah i was a geek but it looks kinda cool. i stopped doing it around 70 jumps i think. MB 3528, RB 1182
  15. I'm about half German and a quarter English, but half African-American. figure that one out MB 3528, RB 1182
  16. only if they didn't convert a normal male or female restroom to the transvestite one. now that would piss me off if some male bathroom near me suddenly turned into one that i couldn't (or wouldn't) go to. but if they build a new bathroom for the transvestites, then sure go ahead. MB 3528, RB 1182
  17. it would probably be a better idea to get an RW suit at this time, rather then a freefly suit. this is because generally everyone agrees that you should have some RW jumps under your belt before you get into freefly. also, if you decide to do some freefly, a long-sleeved shirt is a pretty good cheap freefly suit. but for materials, ask your instructors or experienced jumpers who have jumped with you to tell you how fast you fall. check if any of them have worn a protrack while falling with you, and find out your freefall speed. as for what kinds of materials do what, search the forums.

  18. basically he has to do the bathtub thing i think. and since his lines got wet, he will probably have to have someone check it for line shrinkage that could put it out of trim. MB 3528, RB 1182
  19. I'm right handed, right eyed, and right footed. i can't think of a single thing i do with my left hand. a few months ago though, i hurt my right hand pretty good, and had to use my left hand for everything for about a month. that was so weird MB 3528, RB 1182
  20. not to mention its other health and psycholocial benefits when ingested orally. MB 3528, RB 1182
  21. just to save time, and to make more truckers happy, how bout all the ladies post pictures of themselves flashing, then we will print em out and toss em to truckers as we drive by. MB 3528, RB 1182
  22. ditto VIDEO!!! yes show video! i say we take a vote on it... that would be fair right? MB 3528, RB 1182
  23. geeez everyone give up on this thread. (i win) MB 3528, RB 1182
  24. worked all day. and i gotta paint the porch tommorow so no jumping then. MB 3528, RB 1182
  25. its not a bad idea, IF the tracking chip is tiny enough to be hidden very well... because if the terrorists find it, it could easily be attached to a dummy next to a few hundred pounds of explosives. when the army comes to rescue the dummy... boom. MB 3528, RB 1182
