So, you're saying you'd rather be the 'catcher', than the 'pitcher'? Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

I don't think you're really helping matters with that remark. It was an honest mistake, really! Hey, if I didn't like Mark, I wouldn't be teasing! J Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

This is your one warning, for impersonating a moderator! Hee hee, made it in before the thread got locked! I'm rollin' on the ground reading this thread though! This is frickin' hilarious! Seriously though, anybody who doesn't know Mark - he's really a good gay! Jeff Edit to add- if nothing else, he's a damn good swooper, and deserves to be in a magazine if ya ask me! Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Smiling more than ever now! Great hangin' with you as well! Next time we'll have to actually jump together! Yeah, PD is really onto something with that canopy! Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Ha! It's just eatin' you up, isn't it Swoop! I'm sure they have something official coming out. What can I say, the canopy was awesome, and I got the 'ok' to post about it, so why not brag a little?!

At least I don't look that drunk in the pictures. I'm a little worried about the videos from Taxiway. I remember falling down at least once, and from what people tell me, I had a hard time completing sentences. Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Yeah, at this point I think it's safe to say it'll be my next canopy.

Haven't we all dated 'that girl'?! Like I said, I'm selling my VN150 - brand new 5/50 line set (helped a little). I'm going after the girl next door's wild little sister! Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Ok, put two jumps on a KA-135 yesterday - I know alot of us big boys are anxiously awaiting the release of the larger sizes, so here are my observations as a 'teaser'. Two jumps isn't really enough to get to know a canopy, granted, but there were some pretty obvious characteristics. My reference point: ~300 jumps on a Vengeance 150 (relined ~100 jumps ago), exit weight 270lbs. Exit from 13.5, deployed subterminal first jump, deployed terminal second jump. KA-135 was loaded at 2.0:1. Both openings were perfectly on heading, and very comfortable deployment sequence. This is a welcome change! The KA-135 was happy to have it's toggles unstowed, it really took off. Tested the brakes, great stopping power. Tested them deeper, huge control range, too! The canopy didn't appear to be anywhere near the stall point, but didn't want to push it that far. Much more range and braking power than my larger VN150. Next was toggle turns. Very responsive - not much input was needed to get into a tight turn. A brisk pull on a toggle to the half way point put me way above the canopy. The toggle response is much closer to that of a Stiletto than a Vengeance. This canopy dives hard, to the tune of well over 700' on a 270 from half brakes. No noticable oversteer. I let up on the riser, and it immediately stopped turning. Riser pressure on the KA135 seemed a little bit firmer than on my VN150. I wasn't nearly as aggressive as I am under my VN, so the riser pressure may be lower if I really would have gotten into them. Next time I'll put my big boy pants on and really get into it! Rumor has it they're ready to go, and will be ready to order very soon!

~250 jumps on a Sabre2 190 (~1.4), ~10 jumps on a Stiletto 170 (~1.6), ~300 jumps under a Vengeance 150 (~1.8), it's my current canopy. Your description is great! Let me edit if I may: My Vengeance is like a bipolar supermodel. The only consistent mood is 'eratic'. She's sexy, she's moody, and she's the boss. Period. Stiletto was like a cock tease. At first, she seemed wild, and would talk a big game, but then went home early. Sabre2 was like the pretty girl you see in church. You think she's harmless, until you get her in bed, at which point she turns into a freak and totally blows your mind. Why tell anyone, few will believe you... How will these women affect you? Experience her too young, and the bipolar supermodel will leave you bitter, broken hearted, and broke. She's earned her reputation... why do you think she's still single? Even most experienced guys don't want anything to do with her. The cock tease will just waste your time. She just wants to have fun, but on your dime. No matter how hard you try, she just doesn't get into sex. The girl next door is a lady on the street, but a freak in the bed. Every once in a while I see her again, The big guy she's with just gives me a smile and a wink. He knows... Oh, and the story wouldn't be complete without mentioning my best friend, PDR 176. He was there for me at a moments notice when she (VN) decided to leave me on a 3.5 hop n pop... He always says, 'you guys fight all the time, is she really worth it?'. I had an affair this weekend though, and it felt great!

Ummmm, video? Do I need to be concerned? Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Man... I'm getting a reputation here... this is the second time I've been called 'The Devil' on dz.com, I dressed up as the devil at Sebastian's Naughty Cupid Boogie, and Tammi is giving me devil horns in the other picture here.... just call me 'el diablo'. Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Damn... wish I could remember something after the Yager and shots of moonshine. From what I hear, everyone had a pretty good time. I'm told there was a group picture taken - can somebody post it? Thanks, Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Yup, if that's where the break is... I broke two at the same time, and when I would inhale or exhale, you could hear the bone 'grinding', I believe this is called crepitus in medical terms.(sp?) If I rolled over in bed, I could actually feel the ribs moving around. Hurt like hell to laugh; a cough was even worse. Didn't get a good night's sleep for two weeks, even with the pain killers. No wrapping or taping though. Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

I don't think anybody can even come close to touching you at 17.5! Man, I think you deserve an award or something!!! Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

What REALLY sucks is people making disparaging remarks about soldiers, based on nothing more than accusations... As somebody already mentioned, accusations are made all the time. The media hypes them up, making a big ordeal to sell their product. When the accusation turns out to be exaggerated or just plain inaccurate, does the media bring attention to the fact that they were wrong? Nope... pretty convenient if you ask me. Too bad we don't have a news outlet that purely focuses on the media's screw ups. It would be interesting to see how many innocent people's lives have been destroyed due to poor journalism... Remember the security guard that was accused of setting off the bomb during the Olympics in Atlanta? The media crucified him, labelling him a depressed loser, and sociopath. He lost his job, his friends, everything. Turns out he was innocent.... oops. I think the title of this thread really says alot about the individual who started it... Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

My mom is a big time bird watcher. As a kid, we had a neighbor with a primarily outdoor cat. The cat would constantly terrorize the birds, killing a few. My parents were friends with the neigbors, and talked to them about it, but they didn't want to keep the cat inside. They're suggestion was to 'just chase him off if he comes around'. Well, mom and dad gave me the ok to 'pursuade' the cat not to come around. They said to just not kill it or seriously injure it. The neighbors eventually moved, but that cat would actually go out of it's way to stay out of our yard, and bird, chipmunk, and squirrel killings went down dramatically. What we did: -Target practice with bb guns (not at full power) -Target practice with sling shots -Water balloons out second floor window onto cat. -Dumped flower on cat from in a tree. -Let dog loose to chase cat up tree -Chased cat -Chased cat with 'super soakers' -Put a white shoe polish stripe down it's back (primarily black cat) We also learned how to trap animals in a survival situation by making (humane) traps, such as snares and the 'ol wood box supported by a stick trap. Both work, and cats don't like them. Anyway, the cat survived with only minor injury and humiliation. Not to be callous to the situation, but that's actually a pretty good shot to hit a cat (moving one?) with a bow and arrow... Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

In combination with harsh punishment for those that get caught, yes, I believe it will do good. It's at least 'more good' than handing over millions of dollars to a country that isn't willing to help in return for that money. Mexico would run it. Mexico would be required to pass the law, as part of them earning their federal aid. I said nothing about torture. I'm implying that this prison will not be there for them to educate themselves, work out, and money, and eat better meals than many law abiding people eat. They will not be allowed to play video games and watch tv/movies. Negative. Lowering standards just to meet beaurocratic 'numbers' requirements is a recipe for disaster. As someone mentioned above, if we constantly dilute something, eventually the solution will become the solvent, and our country will no longer be a melting pot, but instead become a cess pool. Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Ya' know, I always joked around that a full moon caused everyone to act crazy... I just realized earlier this week... it's not everyone else, it's me! I shit you not - the days leading up to a full moon make me really cranky. It's been that way every since I can remember... I know it sounds really stupid and just a lame excuse for crankiness, but a coworker is having a baby, and the hospitcal workers mentioned that they are really busy right now, because of the full moon. Avidently the change in gravitational pull causes something to happen in our bodies. All I know is that I can't wait for these headaches to go away; friggin' pain in the arse moon is screwin' with me! Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Anybody who comes to the U.S. illegally, is not a law abiding individual. Period. Here's my solution: U.S. tells Mexico to (dramatically) increase border security. If they don't comply, then stop all aid to Mexico, and direct 100% of the funds to increasing border security, until Mexico does begin to comply. Increased compliance = increased aid. As far as the immigrants that are already here, offer 'amnesty week', where they are allowed to apply for citizenship IF they have not been convicted of a crime in the U.S. After a 3 years 'probation' period, they will be awarded citizenship. Establish a prison in Mexico for immigration violators - not some U.S. minimum security country club prison. This will not be a fun place to go. They will provide enough food and water to (barely) sustain life. Nothing more. All illegal immigrants caught after amnesty week will be sent to this hell hole for some (short) period of time. Repeat offenders will spend more time there, and likely not survive conditions over the period of an extended sentence. Some other random thoughts: Establish a waiting list for immigrants. Those caught in the U.S. illegally are no longer eligible for citizenship. Illegal immigrants will have extremely limited legal rights in the U.S. Illegal immigrants who have been convicted of felonies in the U.S. have no rights. In other words; open season on immigrant felons. The theory behind my plan is that it will allow law abiding people to become U.S. citizens, and the criminal elements will be reduced.

Bring it on, then! This time I'll wear more than just a t-shirt and shorts, so I'll REALLY spank that ass! J Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
