I might have an opportunity to go to Kenya this summer. If I did, I wouldn't have enough money to go to Eloy for the Memorial Day festivities, but maybe I can balance it by jumping in Kenya...? If any of you know of dropzones there, or where I should look for that information, please fill me in! PTiger PS Emma, this means you.

1. Warm the glass - don't want it to shatter when you light it up. 2. Make sure ALL nearby surfaces are clean, especially your hands. If there's enough alcohol on something, it WILL catch fire. That would be a Bad Thing™. 3. Fill the glass 3/4 with whatever beer you like. 4. Pour a shot of amaretto, and top it off with 151 rum. You are now ready to flick your lighter and start some ruckus.

RARRRRRRR HULK SMASH!! Fucking weather. Incredibly gorgeous, perfect jump weather yesterday and Wednesday. Crystal clear skies, steady breeze around 10 mph, 65º.... But noooooooo, I can't go jump because of this "class" shtick that they've foisted on me here at college. Then today, when I'm free? Socked in. I'm gonna go break something.

Rising to the bait... We're currently 18th in the Division I Sears Cup standings. We've won at least one national championship each of the last fourteen years. Pretty good for a school that doesn't give out athletic scholarships or athletic financial aid of any type, and has higher academic standards than nearly every institution in the country. So there.

I stumbled across some really awesome news!! Although I haven't gotten permission from the parties involved to post official word of the victory, I can't contain my excitement. So I'm posting this teaser. CONGRATULATIONS!!! PTiger I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way

I just got a new jumpsuit that's silver on the front. My rig is in the loft right now so I can't put it on to be sure, but I think that my metal reserve handle will blend in a little with the suit. This of course is a Bad Thing™. How can I make my reserve handle stand out? My instinct is to candy-stripe some black electrical tape on it. Can anyone think of a way for that to backfire on me? I would think that the electrical tape would give me a better grip than the bare metal, but I could be wrong. Should I try and find some grip tape instead? Since I'll actually be putting my hand through the handle instead of just grabbing it, I doubt grip is an issue, but then again I'd hate to find out I'm wrong and have to trust my AAD.

N2skdvn: Grrr... no freeflying for me until I can afford a new rig, since mine doesn't have good pin and bridle protection. That's not gonna happen until I get a real job, which won't happen until I graduate, which won't be until 2004. Of course, I was originally scheduled to graduate in 2002, so maybe '04 is still a bit optimistic... Airann: Nope, no catsuit here. No freeflyin' either, I'm just a baby skydiver...

Bah, dorm furnishings, nothin' I can do about it. Even if I got a bigger bed, I'd have nowhere to put it - my room is only 118 square feet. (Just over half the size of my canopy.) At least it's a long mattress and frame, though. I'm so used to it that anything else feels like my feet are hanging over the edge. Of course, the solution to the chick issue: sleep at her place - or do it in the shower. PTiger I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way

Very true Marc. Paula, you might want to turn up the brightness on your monitor.

SWEET! Got my new Bev suit in the mail yesterday. 1 day under 4 weeks, wow! Poor thing was all cooped up in that package. I'd better go air it out Monday!

This is the funniest radio prank I've ever heard. The poor woman gets a phone call about a particular model of vibrators being recalled, and embarassment on an extreme scale ensues. I feel kinda guilty laughing at it, since I'd be pissed if it happened to anyone I know... but remember what Will Rogers said: "Everything is funny as long as it is happening to Someone Else."

I don't know about the rest of you, but I had a revelation when I discovered power tools. Suddenly fixing things and putting things together became FUN. I had to replace the planks on the back stairs outside, and I was not looking forward to putting screws through treated wood. Then a friend of my dad's lent me a cordless drill that packed an obscene amount of torque, and I finished off the stairs in record time and was about to start on the (perfectly good) fence before someone restrained me. After that I wait gleefully for something to break so I can fix it. For the construction side of it, there's nothing like getting a wild idea, putting it in action, and having it work. I've done very basic catapults and zipline towers (using only ropes and small trees), but someday I'd like to put together a trebuchet or something wicked like that.

I put my name in permanent marker along the side. I figure if I put it there instead of on the back, someone's more likely to see it if they pick it up by accident. Something else you might want to do, if you have the replaceable lens, is to take it off and put your initials somewhere on the face. Then someone is SURE to see that they've got your altimeter.

I bet everyone will push hard until 99,985 or so, and then open a second window, constantly refresh until they see 99,999, and pound the post button on the first window in an effort to get number 100,000. Then someone who wasn't even aware of the milestone will get it by accident. PTiger I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way

What do you get when you cross medieval siege warfare with uncabbed computers? the Mangonel LART, that's what. Sysadmins!! Tired of lusers who constantly need their files restored, permissions reset, noses wiped, and technological aptitude painfully and repetitively force-fed? Just press 'eject,' and let physics do the rest. MUUUAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA Seriously, anyone who has ever had to deal with annoying co-workers, or has the slightest interest in tinkering with everyday objects, machines, and tools should check it out.
