  1. Hear hear! Even if it can be proven that she DID commit the terrible acts, I think we can all agree that she wasn't/isn't right in the head. If we put to death all the people who are mentally ill, who would be left?

  2. The slippery slope just got a new coating of grease, eh? Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  3. Glad to hear it went so well. You'll gradually begin to feel better and better on the ride up, until you go to do something new, like RW or freeflying. Then you'll have those same nervous feelings. It's okay to be nervous. It means your thinking about what you have to do.

  4. That sounds great! I recently met up with two awesome DZ.commers too, only our schedules didn't allow for us to make any jumps together. We DID introduce them to sushi, however. MyOwnWay and Jumper03 are two fun, funny and intelligent people. We enjoyed their visit and look forward to seeing them again...perhaps in the air this time.

  5. It seems whuffo ignorance sells papers, at least. When reporters do that, I'd like to find them and...and...and offer them a free tandem and a challenge to write about it as objectively as possible. I know the first line wasn't entirely demeaning, as most skydivers don't find rigs at garage sales, but the sentiment behind it seemed a bit out of place for that article.

  6. Oh, we can absolutely do an all Chanute-way...even if there's only a few of us. You aren't kidding about the restrictions, all those "phases". My training was so long that I got to experience something called "extended third phase", where we essentially got to walk to class on our own unless otherwise directed beforehand. But I still remember that creepy guy who used to lurk behind trees waiting to catch formations or individuals screwing around. I think he taught the student leadership program on the weekends. We just called him "Jason", as in Friday the 13th's Jason.

  7. Parkton would also welcome you (The Skydiving Place), and we're right off the I-95. In fact, if you take the I-95 south, you'll see the DZ from the road. PM me if you want to come out and jump or if you just want details. Safe and happy travels, brother.

  8. I actually started out in Whitehall in '87, moving on quickly to training "behind the wall" for air launched nukes. I went back for advanced training a few years later and found it to be a much more interesting place...for a totally flat landscape with no trees. The running joke was that there was a pretty girl behind every tree in Rantoul.

  9. Sure thing man! Anything I can do to help. I will, of course, need a script...or at least a rough idea of what you want said. I don't think a continuous string of "Whoo-HOO"s will really get a cogent point across.

  10. Whoah now! Let's not demean Guinness, there. It's like a meal in a glass. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  11. If you are referring to my Cora, then the answer is no. If you aren't referring to her, my only answer is "huh?"

  12. According to my sweetheart, I'm on tap for DOING the laughing, so I'm out of that one. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  13. Hey man, we were thinking of taking a Friday off and heading to Z-Hills one weekend. Where are you headed in Florida, and when exactly?

  14. Hey, I'd be happy to be of some assistance in any way I possibly can. I mean, I do have a decent voice and have no problems with making an assout of myself (on the ground) if it will entertain others.

  17. Yeah, what Chris said. And what better time to make NEW DZ.com friends than when the others are having inaccessible?

  18. Wait, I just saw this part and had to backtrack a bit. Darlin', when someone who deserves to share your life comes along, all of this moping will barely be a memory. Until then, enjoy the fact that you aren't tied to some undeserving asshead who would wind up ruining the holidays for you by passing out drunk in your bathtub and puking all over your carpeted bathroom mats.

  19. Not horrifically, no...come to think of it, I'm not really sad about it at all. I wish that circumstances would have allowed for me to go, but there will be other times and other boogies.
  20. Actually, it's not so bad. We're saving money and going to WFFC instead. Not to mention my father says we're going to New Zealand for next Christmas.

  22. The closing pin, or the driving the stakes thru railroad ties? Either way, I could get into it. Although, I am not worthy to wear clothing pin jewelry. Ok, guess I'll just have to work on that stake thing..... Uh, I wouldn't know whether to applaud someone who could do that, or find a way to un-wrench my face from that "WTF...WHY??" expression. I'll stick with the pin.

  23. Then count us in. We could stand to learn all that we can, and we're quite humble when it comes to learning in this sport.
  24. For fun & frivolity mixed with educational benefits, or just for figuring out where we'll fit in best on loads?

  25. And with that, the Bytch is in. Any recommendations for newcomers? Aside from having beer dues ready for first time at WFFC.
