  1. I signed up for AFF right away, requiring a static-line to break the ol' hymen. I have to give credit to an incredible staff of instructors: Jason Bradley, Kirk Yerkes (Spelling?), Jon Stewart, Steve Alexander and Don Brewer. I would have a difficult time believing that you could improve on this group! FallRate

    beered to death

    Ok, there are many people who know a hell of a lot more about this than myself, but after executing a deep turn and leveling off the canopy will have a lot of lift and then slowly return to normal flight...if you make another drastic steering input while the canopy is making it's way back to normal flight the chances of spinning up the main increase dramatically...I can imagine that other malfunctions are more likely in this scenario also. You may want to talk to someone at your DZ about what occurred. FallRate
  3. I'm 6'2" and 290lbs...so far, no problems. Except for the fact that this sport seems to have an over-abundance of floaters!!! FallRate
  4. With Sodumb (that misspelling is for your enjoyment Mr. Von) having full control of the media, Colin Powell is probably right in saying that these guys will be back in lock-up in about three days. FallRate
  5. Are you getting video this time Lew!? FallRate
  6. Should I ever marry, I will demand my own bathroom! FallRate
  7. Maybe we'll get lucky and the buyer is actually a wealthy, and bored, skydiver who has decided to purchase the unit so that he can keep it out of the hands of the unsuspecting. Or, maybe someone became so upset by the fact that this guy continued to sell the item, that he or she bought it with the aim of shoving it up the seller's ass. *shrug* It could happen. FallRate
  8. I had a very wise teacher once who sarcastically pointed out that the solutions to all the worlds's problems can be found by spending an afternoon at the neighborhood barber-shop. That same sentiment seems to apply to on-line forums. [Sarcasm]If the leaders of the world would only stop by DZ.com for some guidance then we could all rest easy.[/Sarcasm] [NotSoMuchSarcastic] There is the possibility that the "evil" leaders of the world, after visiting DZ.com, would become so obsessed with Boobies that they have no time for their evil plans.[/NotSoMuchSarcastic] FallRate
  9. I prostituted myself, suffering physical and mental abuse on a daily basis to get my first rig. At least it was a worthy cause: my very own rig! It's just sad to think of those other poor bastards who work at FedEx for nothing more than rent. FallRate
  10. I'm considering a new career in the "human waste removal business"...It would seem a good idea to get some practice jobs in first, so as to build some experience. Would you be interested in a freebie? FallRate

    Great News!

    Actually, that was one of those Carlin type rants...you really don't know exactly where I'm coming from...in other words, the sarcasm was mixed in. But I still say the Kurds ROCK!!! What an incredible spirit! FallRate
  12. Hmm...this is genius! This may just work. Best wishes!!! Sorry I can't help (severe gag reflex). FallRate
  13. By the way...I swear Mike, I'm not trying to be funny!!!
  14. Just my opinion, but any individual who would dare to sanction you (Skitzo) for appearing naked in public, under any condition, will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes!!! FallRate

    Great News!

    I KNOW!!! For the love of God, we're seeking to destroy the single most beloved human being on the face of the Earth! What is wrong with us??? By the way, anyone watch Nightline tonight? Excellent piece on the Kurds. No wonder Iraq, Syria and Iran are so opposed to the creation of a Kurdish State...the Kurds ROCK!!! Over the last decade they have created a healthy, vibrant and tolerant society out of what the rest of the world would view as a wasteland. Of course, some thanks must be given to those War-Hungry British and American servicemen and women who have protected them from the daily threat of annihilation by patrolling that oppressive "no fly zone"...while the rest of the world has sat on it's collective ass!!! Once again...the Kurds ROCK!!! In case you're wondering...about 8 beers so far FallRate

    Great News!

    Apparently after his last election, approximately 500 "dissenters" were jailed. Damned Hippie, Pinko, Muck-Rakers!!! That's what you get for messing with a "perfect democracy". FallRate

    Great News!

    Here it is people: Democracy at work! FallRate
  18. You could go the easy route and wear a rig. Yeah, too damn simple. FallRate

    Hey, I'm turning 31 tomorrow also. What a co-ink-e-dink! Happy Birthday. FallRate
  21. Hmm. I've always seen alcoholism as a more of a goal than a disease. No better excuse to be drunk at two in the afternoon than to sight the fact that you can't help it. FallRate
  22. It said: "You are beginning a new chapter in your life." Based on recent events, I'm starting to think that this new chapter will be a tragic denouement! FUCK!!! FallRate
  23. No, no, no! It's funny because they misspelled "SPOT" as "SOTP".... FallRate
