Am getting my own rig in March next year. Right now I got 46 jumps. Sister is buying a new one and being the kind person she is she's offered me a fine deal on her old (pink and purple

Well, I'll get a pic taken this weekend, wearing tweeds or something from my closet (which means it's bound to be unfashionable). I'll even wear the rig, so you can see just how cool it is. Even says 'My Dear Teardrop' on the back. I may be straight, but I love annoying homophobes . I must warn you; if the only stuff left in my closet is my worst clothes, you might get an epileptic attack from the clashing colours. But it's for a good cause, I'm sure

Hope you keep the beer cooled dude Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Oven? Modern unnecessary inventions. As a child I disagreed with the idea of going from open fires to ovens, and I still hold the opinion it was about as stupid as human kind finally climbing down that primordial tree. Had to say something, coz I'm either too old or too young to know what the hell you're talking about Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

The 'does this woman not have any friends' thread got me thinking about how great it is to get older. In my youth i dressed immaculately. Was all styley and stuff, wearing the 'right' clothes - sometimes even at the right time. Hair was always well cut and a well defined body from rock climbing. Now, I'm 28. Dunno what the hell happened or when but clothes are now basically stuff you put on to cover your skin due to some people being sensible and having modesty issues. Gimme a pair of green tweed pants with a hangy ass, and I'll wear 'em with pride. I'll even commend you for getting some that haven't too many holes on stains on 'em. No more do I object to wearing T-shirts with intelligent and witty comments such as 'Denmark - European Champions, soccer, 1992!', complete with beer stains from that era. As long as it doesn't smell, it's all good. I cut my hair when it gets in the way or too much trouble combing each morning. And then I cut it really short, so the haircut will last longer. Usually try to get someone competent to do it; failure to find such a person (competent people aren't common in my world) I'll settle for a blind psychiatric patient with Parkinsons disease. My tan is now a classical t-shirt + shorts one, and I'm sorta proud of the really white bits. My body hasn't deteriorated too much although it whines when I drag it up cliffs and bruises heal more slowly - but that's OK, coz I'm sure the chicks are impressed by a mangled blue-green-brown unevenly tanned body. My future rig is pink. And purple. With yellow on it too - getting it for cheap off my sis who's getting a Javelin Odessey. Can't believe my luck - with a bit of luck she'll throw in a matching handbag. 28 and already a dumb, happy slob to whom cleanliness is a virtue but 'style' a dirty word. Can't wait to hit the big Three Oh. Life is getting better and better. You young ones listen to your elders. We got it ALL checked out.

And oh, that dress doesn't fit her. I dunno why, because I'm not good at noticing clothes and style. Sis tells me my style is 'bum', whatever it means. Something just isn't right. Heh, 'tis true what they say; girls can be vicious to each other. Now I shall go and hide before they turn vicious on me

Newfound respect for billvon, PhillyKey and others. One problem with a flat tax system is disproportionate amount of disposable income. Say everyone pays 20%. Person A makes 100k and lives in a nice rented apartment, paying 4k a month or 48k a year. He's left with 32k for food and other stuff. Now Person B earns 10k and lives in a relatively cheap apartment - say $500 a month (arbitrary number). That's 6k a year, which leaves 'im with 2k to live for A loaf of breadc osts only a small percentage of total income for the richer dude. For the poorer dude it's a much larger percentage of his total income - so the poor dude gets trampled on, again. Oh and you Yanks should stop complaining about taxes. Pay 73%, then I'll listen to your whines. Living in a 'socialistic capitalistic utopia' has some serious drawbacks. Can come up with some absurd (but unfortunately very true) examples if someone needs 'em. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Ah the merits of one day contacts

I have a car engine, a big prop and some chicken wire (slightly blood stained) available. only one previous owner.

Hm, membeciation covers third person damages. They recently dropped 1st person coverage due to a huge increase in the premium. We have a national health care system so we are (through taxes) covered with regards to anything medical. Haven't got any other insurance myself, as I am very, very poor indeed.

have earned their beer. I went through the AFF program and then got about 36 jumps before I decided it was time to meet the requirement for spotting (need 40 jumps, spotting, packing cert yadda yadda) which is two streamer drops and at least three good spots. One pilot made the run with the wind on his back.'Uuuhm, turn 45 deg left, head that way, then turn around'. My first spot and it confused me, but I eventually got it right. Second time; I get permission to open door too late. We're past the point where I'd like to get off. Go around. We go around and my spot is a bit off. I annoy my instructor by jumping out at a point before the agreed one (to give the tandem more time, I claimed

I use one day lenses, they work great. As long as your goggles are properly attached. Mine weren't on a jump and I lost both lenses. I could make out the wind indicator, but not what way it was pointed. Ended up landing with the wind in my back, heh. Other than that (and the problem was caused by me, not the lenses) I've had no problems. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Heh, cannot beat Aarhus skydive club: "AAFC. We have fun."

Atkin's diet is about to not be permitted at all our public hospitals IIRC. It supposedly isn't healthy for everyone. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

What about the Mcdonalds poop? Eata Big Mac & Co, twenty meniutes later you drop a feces grenade of the exact same consistency. Or so I am told. I wouldn't know. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Vodka. Maybe with something in it, if I can be bothered to get some. Nice weather, a little windy. Me, my sis and two tandems and the pilot were the only ones at the DZ. Sure, I landed going backwards but WTF? That calls for vodka. Oh, got my packing certificate as well. That calls for beer. I shall become very drunk tonight.

'Country music' is an oxymoron. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Everything else is just either irrelevant or a means to get ya up in the sky. It can be that simple, no? Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

I have a Spud Launcher. Beat that. Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Methinks Muenkel has been hit hard by the Love Virus Oooh just a tip. Unconditional love isn't unconditional. I can guarantee you that. Don't sleep with her friends. Hell, don't even call 'em 'cute' Santa Von GrossenArsch I only come in one flavour ohwaitthatcanbemisunderst

Was going out for a sitfly when an instructor asked me what I was going to do and upon hearing the answer asked: 'So, you using TRD's?' 'TRD's?' 'Yeah, T-shirt Retention Devices' upon which he smiled and produced a couple of rubber bands. Put in belt loops on jeans, pull t-shirt through and then the t-shirt will stay in place :).

Relationships? Ah yes. Relationship. A bond formed between two carbon based bipedal life forms who share a common ancestry with monkeys. The bond is only initiated when two individuals find mutual benefits fro close contact and is frequent only because individuals of this race constantly seek others to exploit. If mutual exploitation creates a synergy effect, mating may or may not take place (and being of the same gender seems to have no importance whatsoever here) and even more exploiting selfish rat arsed little bastards are produced to spit their senseless soap operas into space, polluting space time and forcing us at Galactia X-45 to see endless reruns of Charlie's Angels.

LOL Faber Doing fine in Aars, just came back from this weekend. Got three jumps Saturday and five on Sunday, so not too shabby considering we didn't have enough people to fully fill (LOL!) the C-182 today. Yeah dude, Viking invasion of DZ.com. Those living in coastal villages shall tremble in their boots with fear . Should they not have boots, we shall provide them with such.

Telling it like it is Faber. Words outta my mouth. Oh btw, were you (let's speak totally hypothetically here considering the legality of it
