Ahh...the good ole days. That sounds like true skydiving legend. Wish I could have seen some stuff like that. Malachi

OH NO!!! You mean different bars might call the same drink different things? Damn it, I am calling the International Liqour Naming Organization.

Uhhhhhh..how about no Scott. I was refferring to: Ideally, that is an excellent attitude, but in civilization, ie groups of people living together without anarchy, regulation is essential. If there is not common code it is impossible to function together. Just like the DZ, there are rules, so that irresponsible people do not affect others. The only real question is who makes the policy. Then you can get into the whole democracy working for you or against you or whatever. But either way, there has to be policy. Which is where I came in saying that with more people comes more regulation. And if you think everyone here tries to tell you what to do, you should try another country sometime, most places that have been around longer than the US don't have many of the personal freedoms we take for granted. For example, airport security vs. time...until very recently. Malachi

clue me in on the connection to my post Malachi

Well Flaming Dr. Peppers are awesome. First time I had one with Dave I was amazed, it really does taste like Dr. Pepper. Take a tumbler, fill 2/3 with your choice of beer. Shot Glass with: 3/4 Amaretto Top 1/4 Bacardi 151 Light 151, then drop in beer tumbler, and chug. If you have a bunch, set them up in a line, with the shots stacked on the joints of the tumblers and drop the first shot in at an angle to do a domino effect. Looks sweet. But that is already named so...... My roommate and I made one up. We call it a Mean Greeny, but it could be renamed. QuanTITies are kinda optional. Tumbler or larger glass mostly filled with OJ 1 shot of blue curacao 1 shot of midori Serve over ice. It has a nice Citrus flavor, and since the curacao and and midori are fruit flavored, you really dont notice the alcohol. Experiment with the quanitities, as I never really measure I just make mine to taste. Malachi

Is she really?? If anyone can pull it off, she can. I thought about it, but I thought my luck of actually getting it would be pretty slim. Does, anyone know, are there/have there been any female Golden Knights? Malachi

Age old dillema guys. And their is not real way to solve it. Open-minded is fine. But if you want to have a group, you have to have rules at one level or another. Believing everyone can just leave each other alone is more idealistic that communism working. The best way I have heard it put comes from my Dad, and from someone older that told him when he was my age. "The more people there are, the more regulated things will become." That simple, you can explain it if you want, but it is true either way. The more the population of a particular set of people grows, rules increase or anarchy increases, one or the other. Malachi

I am all about keeping it in Texas, but as a fellow member of team Funnelcake with Dave, that would require me getting in the formation. Sometimes that happens, sometimes it does not. Especially since i have quit practicing for now. The darkside is just too appealing...gonna freefly for the most part now. NOW....what about a hybrid dive record?

This is kind of a spin off of the thread asking about favorite jump-related chorus. I was browsing around on the web and noticed that Rob Harris inspired Alan Parsons to write Free Fall : http://www.theavenueonline.info/site3/lyrics/fallfree.htm. It was mentioned on the Rob Harris sitehttp://www.robharris.org/friends.htm, I thought it was pretty cool. Malachi

Well, when M$ bails you out it helps. Malachi

Kelly, You might want to edit your sig. Currently it says http://kel197.tripod.com/skydivefriendsTRIPOD/html You need to remove the html at the end or it will not work. Malachi

I totally agree. Everything thinks I am nuts, but I refuse to install it out of principal. I lose some content because of that, but so be it. Their codec sucks ass, so the quality is horrible anyway. If enough people did that it would create backlash. For example, during all the hype surrounding the release of Lord of the Rings, one of the trailers (the 2nd one I think) came out in official copy only in real. Within 12 hours there were at least a dozen mirror sites with conversions in .avi and.mpg Everyone griped, New Line felt it so much, the next trailer came out in Quicktime.

Yeah I hear that, I have contract parking in a garage. 105 bucks a month, but worth it. You hear horros stories of crap going on in cheaper lots and garages. Mine has camera everywhere and attendants and stuff, plus enclosed skywalks from about 50 feet from my car, all the way to my building. I am not very familiar with downtown yet. But if we can come up with a good place to go and avoid parking fees, that would be cool. Malachi

Hey of course you are invited. Who else we have in Dallas? You are a 'little' north of me. I am literally in downtown. The Galleria is up there. :) But yeah a Dallas dz.com lunch or something would be cool. Downtown we have a bunch of pretty cool stuff, and you can get to a lot of it through skywalks and tunnels, so you never have to go outside. It can be kinda nice. Malachi

Indirect reference..........

Jeez guys, just trying to be nice and ask first. I work in downtown Dallas, with craploads of other people, and only know one other skydiver in the building, so I thought it would be cool to know some other ones, have skydiving lunch or something. I just did not want to send her email she did not want....I work in IT remember
-
Beat you to it
-
Mind if I email you? Malachi
-
Well that would be cool. And I have the solution for rental gear, just jump ripcord if you have to. You probably will anyway, since they wont want to change the bridle. I am still laughing about the stuck truck dude.

Tequilagirl, what building you in? I am at 1700 Pacific on 15th. Malachi
-
Hey riglessboy, what are you jumping? Mud from your truck? LOL HAHAHA oops, sorry
-
Well that is kinda overkill, but why was it ever called cockpit? I mean it did not literally refer to 'cock' did it?
-
Yeah, I know a guy that does test jumps for Strong. He got hurt doing an ATV jump. I was thinking about buying a HALO rig off Ebay, good condition. I have no real reason to have it, but it would be kinda cool to have one. Malachi

AggieDave....calling AggieDave......dude, this might be our next idea to 'cook up' Nice follow up to pumpkins. Seriously with an awesome rigger, this could be done. Look at "Senseless Acts of Video," they rig some pretty amazing stuff. You have to have someone who knows all the rules of aerodynamics and physics, before you start bending them. If those guys pulled it off at under terminal, like a mister bill, hold on and then jump, that would be a sweet feeling. As a matter of fact, this makes me think I need to try a mister bill, but maybe not with David/Corn Fed
