"Carmen" she says. "It used to be Mary Lou, but since I love cars and men, I changed it to Car-men." "That's a great idea" the golfer replies. The lady says to him, "So what's your name?" Without the least hesitation he says "Beer-golf." ---------- A pirate walked into a bar and up to the counter. The bartender couldn't help but notice a large steering wheel with a parrot perched atop it sticking out of the pirate's pants. "Hey friend," the bartender said to the pirate, do you realize you have a steering wheel with a parrot on it sticking out of your pants?" "Yar!" the pirate replied. "He's driving me nuts!" --------------- When asked by their host if she would like another drink, the attractive Blonde bowed her head slightly and said, "No thank you. My husband limits me to one drink." "Why is that," the host asked? Her reply... "Because after one drink I can feel it; after two drinks ...anyone can!" ---------- Moe and Joe head to the men's room. Moe says to Joe, " I wish I had one like my cousin J.R. He needs four fingers ,to hold his!" "You're holding yours with four fingers now," said Joe. "Yeah, but I'm peeing on three of 'em!" complained Moe. --------------------- everyone have a good week!!

I think Skyhawk said the magic words...."easily worn". How much easier would it be to use for almost anything. For any sport that would/could benefit from the camera aspect. Sweet! -------------- Brandon Wren

I still think that they would be more useful to have there than not. Especially in cases such as very high rise. Maybe they would need to some type of idiot-proofing done to them or something. For instance, where ever they are going to be used, have some type of way they cant be used unless activated or something by someone who knows when and when not to be used. Just a thought. Obviously having BASE rigs for people living in highrises isn't perfect, but what is? You are gonna have bad things happen with whatever you do. -------------- Brandon Wren

Does anyone know if there is anything that is going to be on TV in the near future? Since those bastards took skysurfing out of the XGames, is there anything that's going to be online here in the US? Thanks all!! -------------- Brandon Wren

Hmmm.....even if they got hurt when they landed or a couple people died due to "high traffic" under canopy, wouldn't it still beat dying? Just a thought. -------------- Brandon Wren

Woohoo!! My article is back from the dead. I was wondering where I could read that at. Thanks..... -------------- Brandon Wren

sick man.....just sick

Thanks guys!! I really like the shirts at SkyKat and ImageCrazy. I am gonna have to hunt down the link to Caledonia(sp) and dig out my ParaGear catalog. I like those Raeford shirts. I may have to pick me up one!! Either way, thanks for all the links and if you have more, lemme know!! -------------- Brandon Wren

OK all.....I need some help finding some cool skydiving t-shirts. I know that Go Fast has a couple cool ones, but I have never been able to find any others ANYWHERE!! I have looked throughout the internet and they all seem like cheesy shirts that dropzones give away with a tandem. I want something cool to wear and that isn't so damn cheesy. Any ideas?? Thanks! -------------- Brandon Wren

I agree with Wildblue...taking the bypass around Indy is totally not worth it. You should just go right on through. I live an hour north of Dayton, so if you accidentaly take a right in Dayton, and are heading north, gimme a jingle (phone call). -------------- Brandon Wren

Hey McCordia....I'll put my head in the clouds and try to think of an idea. I'm SURE that I can think of something. By the way, if you would like to make me a little 3-D graphic for my wife and I's(is that a word?) upcoming NEW website, please let me know. It'll be something basic (for the most part) and probably easy to make, but I just dont know how to deal with 3D stuff.

check these two out.....CRA-ZY!!! VIDEO ONE VIDEO TWO -------------- Brandon Wren

HOPE THIS HELPS!!! http://www.joereger.com/popups/skydivestatistics.joe -------------- Brandon Wren

LEW....I couldn't have said it any better. You hit the nail on the head and said it how it should be. That would be like giving me a plane to fly out of a crisis. I would just look at all the buttons and say "uhhh". If you dont know what the hell you're doing, you are probably just going to kill yourself. -------------- Brandon Wren

Great job on keeping your cool and, like always, coming out as the smarter, wittier of the two. I dont know how some of you do it, but you always seem to get the best of people, even though they are the ones who thing they are right. (I know this from being on THAT side of the fence.

now THAT really sucks Justin...just make sure if you ever have to 'go silver', you hold on to your shit and keep track of where it lands. Otherwise, that could get REAL expensive having somone sew you a brand new freebag or something. -------------- Brandon Wren

Laura and I have both ordered new Wings on September 1 and they are STILL not in. What is going on down there??? I was told they would be in at the first of October. That is gone. Hmm..... Anyway, the guys we delt with were great and I have confidence that the extra wait will be well worth it and hopefully we'll get a GREAT deal on those gear bags we ordered with them. As far as Mirage, I had the opportunity to have a meal with a Bill from Mirage. Now, I'm not sure if it was the same guy, but it was during the Richmond Boogie and laura, me, bill and his wife(?) went to Apple Bees. Seemed like a good, honest guy to me, but I dont know much more about his company. I'll be a Wings guy!!

yes -------------- Brandon Wren

was surfing around and found my new, hot piece of meat...if you would like to meet her, first, you may want to see here. CHECK HER OUT!!! *WARNING* Extreme feelings of love are not my fault. *WARNING* -------------- Brandon Wren

check out THIS video clip of a Firebird Trans Am twin turbo and a super fast crotch rocket racking down the interstate at about 140mph. They were passing cars like they were standing still. NICE!! *WARNING* ...do not try this at home. -------------- Brandon Wren

at least you get to work with it, talk about it, and all that stuff. and now you're moderator.....what more could you ask for in life? -------------- Brandon Wren

Hopefully this weekend will prove to be a better weekend than two weeks ago. Laura and I haven't jumped in about 6-7 weeks. The Boogie was the last time we've jumped and our rigs should be in anytime. The forcast says 64 and partly cloudy. I have to get some air!!! -------------- Brandon Wren

Also, as far as staying there...dont they have a bunkhouse in Eloy? This may be good if you'll be there for 3 weeks. A tent will get DAMN uncomfortable after about 4 days. Just an FYI. -------------- Brandon Wren

I dont think it is that team. This is "I think" a real team that existed in the early to mid 80's. Anyone know??? -------------- Brandon Wren

I am wondering if anyone has heard of the Outlaw Skydiving Team from the 80's. Any of you long-timers know anything of it?? If so, let me know!! Thanks!
