  1. fellatio If you don't know what it means - I'm sorry. Well - u can't use this one enuf illegible usually
  2. I know that any day could be the last. I mean, I've always known that but each time I jump I know that I could go in. I live my life so that I can be happy if I do. It has made me realize what is important and what isn't. ETR illegible usually
  3. I never met the man but he was my brother. He will fly forever... illegible usually

    Speed...

    As fast as I think I can get away with. Cuz I like to Mazda Miata, VW Passat, F250 4x4, '61 Chev. Impalla bubbletop, Lincoln Mark VII (My pimpin' ride) (Yeah, I know - I've got too many cars) illegible usually
  5. Visa debit cards are EVIL. They get your $$ direct so in a case like this there is little incentive to resolve the issue quickly since they already have your money. (this also is the case for fraud) You are out the cash until the issue is resolved. This can take a couple of months. If you use a "regular" credit card, they don't have your $$, and will defer and payment required on teh disputed amount untill the issue is resolved (i.e. you keep the cash) since they (the credit card co.) don't have any of the $$ yet, they tend to work a little quicker to resolve the issue. My 2 cent from direct experiance. illegible usually
  6. "One wonders how the recording mechanism would stand up to freefall and opening shock." Exactly. so who wants to be the first kid on their block to try it out? I'm thinking they probably won't be able to take the beating but there's only one real way to find out. Sure would be a lot easier to edit from, though the media is a little bit steep (about $1/min vs $0.1 for DV tape) illegible usually
  7. I saw this http://www.hitachi.com/tv/browse/camcorders/dvd/dzmv380a.shtml and thought "cool - wish it was a sony" Anybody want to buy one, jump it and let me know how (if) it works? Etr illegible usually
  8. I think I paid $5 USD for the repairwhen I had my rig repacked and a new BOC put on. It shouldn't be too much it's a fairly minor fix. ETR illegible usually
  9. damn that's some slow upload! It's been posted to ftp://www.skydivingmovies.com/public/students/ The title again is "ETR's Dad- tandem.wmv" I'm wearing the red/black jumpsuit and yellow helmet. illegible usually
  10. Here's a photo I took of Bob showing off his photo album. Man he's got some cool photo's and stories. illegible usually
  11. Well not exactly - I paid someone to do it. ...and he loved it. I wasted some time and bandwidth and posted the edited video on www.skydivingmovies.com Video by Martin (I forgot his last name-I'm such a jerk) and me. Hope you enjoy!! It will probably be moved to the students folder. It is titled "ETR's Dad- tandem.wmv" illegible usually
  12. I generally wouldn't ask for a slot unless I had planned another jump on that load. If I did get the slot paid I would shoot (not edit) video for review of the jump. At my DZ it's more common for the experianced jumpers to ask the newer jumpers to go with them when it's slow in order to help them to get better. illegible usually
  13. Toledo is only open Friday through Monday. The hanger opens sometime around 11:30-noon on Fridays and Mondays, about 9:00 on Saturdays and Sundays. illegible usually
  14. Hope to see you there. It's probably the most laid back DZ on the planet. Great people and a BIG landing area. No farmer McNasty's and when the beer light comes on - watch out. We have a very nice 182 and the cleanest Beech18 in the US. Drop in to see us, we'll make you feel like family. illegible usually
  15. 245:2 baglock, lost handle (Pushed into BOC on exit) illegible usually
  16. Unfortunately it's almost dead center, doesn't always show up but if people are paying... Guess it's time for a new lens illegible usually
  17. I just got a small scratch very near the middle of my Kenko WA lens. Am I doomed? Can this be polished out? Any suggestions out there? Thnx illegible usually
  18. Have you tried a marine dealer? Distress signal smokes might work for you. Might be worth a try. illegible usually

    I'm thinking of you (vibe) illegible usually
  20. I chose 2K cuz it beats 1.8. Though if I packed my rig (I psycopack) I like to get at least 3 so I can open terminal. If 2's what it is (cloud deck) I'll take it over not jumping. illegible usually
  21. I was happy. My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me. And my girlfriend? She was a dream! There was only one thing bothering me, very much indeed. That one thing was her younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years of age, wore tight miniskirts, and low cut blouses. She would regularly bend down when near me and I got many a pleasant view of her underwear. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else. One day little sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived. She whispered to me that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome and didn't really want to overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. I was in total shock and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want to go ahead with it just come up and get me. "I was stunned. I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. When she reached the top she pulled down her panties and threw them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door. I opened the door and stepped out of the house and walked straight towards my car. My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes he hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family. The moral of this story is: "Always keep your condoms in your car." illegible usually
