    I was by no means a neat freak when I started college, but I've been living with people that have much higher filth tolerances than I do, so I've kinda turned into one over the years.

    just generally people that cause undo amounts of frustration, hassle, or work for other people (not even necessarily me) simply because they are not paying attention to what is going on around them.

    I'm making long sleeved t-shirts for our club that look like this Desktop Wallpaper Eventually the site's going to get that look too.

    I've definitely wiped out in the peas before. But it was after I landed. I cought my foot on the hoop in the middle and tripped and fell over. For those not familiar with booth's laws I believe they are "the lower you pull, the longer the snivel you will have, and the higher the chance of a malfunction", and "everytime technology improves, skydivers will do dumber things with it to keep fatalities constant"

    What can I say, I'm a sucker for a pretty face... But I'd still like to know why FallingAngel isn't the president...

    There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.

    I think the idea of this poll was less about who you saw as a good potential mate and more "what would catch your eye from across the street." As we all know, light travels faster than sound which is why people can appear attractive until you hear them speak. A neighor of my parents always makes me laugh, he's a great guy, investment banker, married a good looking blonde who is dumber than a sidewalk. Now he's got a couple of kids that are idiots too.

    some more for the sake of more.

    if a woman has a nice waist with jeans that hug the hips, are thin at the knees, and flair out a little bit by the feet, I just die a little bit.

    and I am not a man who is easily impressed. OH LOOK, A BLUE CAR!

    I speant my first three years in high school as a dorky loser shut in playing video games. my senior year I got a job, a car, a group of friends, started shaving my head, MCed a few school events, went to all the school dances, and graduated 5th in my class That was a fun year. I speant first couple years in college as a dorky loser shut-in playing video games. Then I got a new group of friends, I started skydiving, got conned into being the president of the club, but now I get to meet all kinds of new skydivers every week. I apparently just take a couple years before I get bored and decide to do something in a new setting.

    has anyone else played with Napster 2, there's a free three day trial of their "premium service" which otherwise goes for ten bucks a month. You can download any song in their collection and listen to it on your computer and when you want to burn a cd or put it on a portable device it's the $1/song, $10/album bit that apple has been using. Kinda an interesting idea, and they have a pretty decent collection, but none of the stores strike my fancy. I have an mp3 player in my car and the stores all use crazy .wma and .aac to impliment DRM crap. I couldn't use the files where I want to even if I bought them. /edit: hi, I suck at markup

    I've used it to buy obscure cables and connectors for things several times, as well as proprietary battery chargers.

    actually, you can kinda get down on one knee and lean sidewise toward the toilet. it's definitely quite the conundrum.

    haha I just downloa- er, I mean- I found it on the radio cause I was curious and I can't stop laughing, this song is hilariously awful.
  17. champu
    Dude, that is a classic. What cha' talkin' about? and just like that, the heated debate over 'Wham' began... /edited to add: oh, and I think "How Many Licks" by Lil' Kim is probably my least favorite song.

    if you want to fall down more, let someone video one of your landings if they ask, that worked wonders for me.

    I like analog gauges whether it's an altimeter, speedometer, clock, whatever. It's just how my mind is. For example when I glance at my watch, I don't usually read the time off of it, I just kinda look at the shape of the hands and I go right from that to my "mental perception of time" or whatever you want to call it. Simliarly with an altimeter, I don't really read the altitude, just kinda look at what direction the needle is pointing. I think an altimeter with nothing on the face except for a single line to zero it would probably be just as useful to me.

    reminds me of this little number that Basic Research created a while ago

    reminds me of this photo from my dropzone's website... presumably the same phenomenon

    It's not uncommon to loop the seatbelt through a legstrap and leave it adjusted to full length. At least in the US you just have to use the seatbelt to be connected to the airframe. If you had to jump from the plane with it still connected, it'd be best that it wasn't any shorter or you'd probably hurt yourself pretty badly. Regardless, I'm not too sure how I'd feel if this had happened to someone who was instructing me

    doesn't look like he hits his reserve on the door, but yeah you can see his main flap blow open in the wind and his riser covers are open. With that much tension on the seat belt I think any hook knife would work there as long as the blade was sharp (except maybe a $2 plastic one) how hard is it to install a step made out of something like diamond plate over the wheel to make poised exits easier? don't people usually do hanging exits with a S/L and wait for people to have a freefall rig to introduce the poised exit? Glad everyone on board handled it well and that no one was hurt.

    don't take chances, call the fire dept, have them come over and check it out, it may be nothing, but it's not like they wouldn't rather come check it out then have to pull you out of a burning house
