Man, how did Skreamer miss these last two posts? Justin My Homepage

Sweet! I'd love to make a reference to the "Cone of Silence" somewhere on my resume. Justin My Homepage

You can get up to $100,000 (I think) of Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance through a USPA affilliate. Call them (USPA) and ask about it. I signed up for it, but all the details are at home. The price $240 comes to mind, though. Justin My Homepage

Brandon, For people in the US, I'd recommend First Colony. They are a GE subsidiary. On 30-year term, you can get skydiving coverage from between $2.50 to $5.00 per $1000 of coverage, depending on a number of factors. So on a $250,000 policy, you could pay as little as $625/year surcharge to have that coverage include skydiving. Note that those numbers are the surcharge, which goes on top of your base insurance rate. For example, my base insurance rate is around $300, so I pay about a thousand a year total for this policy. Sounds expensive until you shop around and hear the scary quotes. Justin My Homepage

That sounds like sage advice to give another woman. Now, what were you talking about? Justin My Homepage

It is a good thing Skreamer has already gone, or we'd get his "Ode to Poodles" love sonnet.

Veterans & Pooh-Bahs: Should have a 500-character minimum per post Must write about themselves for the Pub Can't write about animals (Sorry Skreamer) Should be flogged mercilessly as S.O.P. All of the above Justin My Homepage

So basically, being the post-whore that he is, Clay owes us a dissertation.

I understand. I've been on planes with people singing on the way to altitude. If I'd joined in, the plane would have crashed. Justin My Homepage

I thought that was birth. Sorry, couldn't resist! Justin My Homepage

I did my 7 AFF jumps on a ripcord system, because that is what they used for all students. On jump #8, I grabbed a BOC rig. The rigger in the loft asked if I knew what I'd picked up. I said, "Yeah. I grab the handle on the bottom and throw it into the wind, right?" He told me that was correct and to make a few practice thow-outs at high altitude. No problem. It went smoothly, and I've never used a ripcord again. I can see where it would be confusing if people got a BOC rig without knowing it, but if they go all the way through gear-up and the ride to altitude without checking, they are morons anyway. If they got to altitude with a somewhat unfamiliar rig, they should either ride the plane down or scap their previous jump plan and plan to be stable and make lots of practice pulls to ingrain the new system in their heads. Just my $.02. Justin My Homepage

Be happy, Skreamer. If it does, then you can have 2-ways with your penis enlarger. Justin My Homepage

Actually, we should go look at the bid history and see if any skydiving freaks have been bidding on it since Pammi put the link up. Justin My Homepage

You still have a liver? Justin My Homepage

You just need to bust out the gigantic can of Raid, and give it to him to drink after about 12 beers. Tell him it is aerosol Budweiser. That would do the trick. Justin My Homepage

If I ever hear, "Hi. My name is Clay Fowler and I'll be your captain today..", I'll be out the door and down the inflatable escape ramp before you finish your sentence. Justin My Homepage -
It must be so that when the upgrade the stadium next time, they'll be able to have commemorative seats to rip up and take home.
