There are probably a lot of "bums" right here that would do it for you. But still, best to do it the right way. Justin My Homepage

You know, I have to agree that it is a damned fine name. And it wasn't as common when I was born as it is now. But I'm not into the whole dynastic naming thing, so I'll probably stick my children with some new and evil names. Justin My Homepage

0:7:3 I went on a road trip while my wife stayed at the house and hung out with her mom & brother. (They live 5 houses away.) That doesn't make me evil as long as I don't do it all the time, right? Justin My Homepage

Sleep? Hell, I went and jumped while I can. Thanks. Justin My Homepage

Hey Folks! Although I never did meet up with any of you formally, I did go to Cross Keys this past weekend. It was great. I was kinda busy doing the whole Skydive U thing, but I did see Fruce in action. Those poor women..... Justin My Homepage

Neither. I'll be psycho-packing them to get it done as quickly as possible.

Done, as well as a lot of other books. I'm already fighting the "Nobody in our families wants to you keep skydiving" issue. Grrr! And DOUBLE GRRRR!!!! They just don't get it. Thanks for all the warm wishes, folks!

Okay, it is definite. I'm heading out tonight for Cross Keys. I'll be there all day Saturday and most of Sunday. What other DZ.com'ers will be there? Justin My Homepage

Hell yeah, I'd buy one.

What do you mean? Everything on the Internet is true. Next, you'll be telling me that the Tooth Fairy isn't real. Justin My Homepage

lol That's true! Justin My Homepage

So far, I think I am in the lead on the most ridiculous names. We sat around eating steamed crabs one night with some friends of ours and spent a couple hours making up stupid names for everyone's future children. Some highlights: Septic Fields Wrigley Fields Strawberry Fields Electromagnetic Fields.... Needless to say, beers were being consumed. Justin My Homepage

This is not at all skydiving related, but I wanted to post it. There is big news in the "jfields" household. We have one in the door. Yes, a baby is on the way.

Damn. That is a tough quiz! Good one though. It is kind of like, "I'll take radical militant philosphy for $1000, Alex." Lemme see..... Without going back through the posts, I'd have to say: a) bin Laden b) Clay c) bin Laden d) Clay (easy one) e) Clay f) Clay g) bin Laden So, Speedy, did I pass? Justin My Homepage

Clay, I'm familiar with the 6 P's. I think all of these actions were "Real", although none of them were fought with the motivation or desire to win exhibited in WW II, for example. But they were still real enough to get lots of people killed without accomplishing their goals. And they did reflect disgracefully on the US in world opinion. If your definition of a "Real Action" is balls-to-the-wall, country at war, traditional massive invasion with hundreds of thousands of soldiers dying, then no, we haven't had one of those in a long time. We were pretty good at that, but I don't think there is a call for that right now, nor a national will to see it through. I agree with you that we should finish whatever we start and accomplish the goals we set out to complete. But we aren't (yet) at war with the country of Afghanistan. They really aren't the enemy. Bin Laden, yes. Taliban, probably. All the people living in poverty across that country, no. They probably wouldn't care who leads their country, if they had food and safety for their families. Honestly, many of them probably hate their current government more than they dislike us. Let's not change that by going after the wrong target or too indiscriminate of a target. Justin My Homepage

That would have been a much better thread, especially with some good visual aids. Justin My Homepage

We've been doing that in Slappie's chat room for about the last 6 hours.

Aviatrr & FallinWoman, As far as I can tell, my Sabre has a normally sized slider, although I haven't measured it. Mine is a Sabre 190. While I can't verify it, I've heard that the rough openings occur much more often on the smaller sizes than on the larger ones like mine. My canopy gets pro-packed. The worst packing-related event I've had was some serious line twists, but that was my fault. I inadvertently twisted stuff as I was getting it into the bag. I'm still a total novice at packing, but I'll get it eventually. Justin My Homepage

Maybe I'm just overdue for a smacking, but mine opens fine and I don't do anything weird at all to it. No extra rolling, special slider or whatever. Justin My Homepage

Hey Speedy, Where in Fredneck are you getting a house? It isn't my normal stomping grounds, but there is at least one nice brewpub I could meet you at for beers if you won't be near the DZs. Justin My Homepage

There have been a number of scares around here (DC) that have turned out to be false alarms as well. People that call in false bomb reports are pretty messed up in the head. Justin My Homepage

Mountainman, I saw that too. You know what was before and after the post, so just make something up yourself.

I heard he was looking for a job at Walmart so he could find the guy(s) hittin' on Pammi. Justin My Homepage

So far, our story is: "No shit, there I was, exiting a 747 at 35,000ft over Libya at 2am on a mission that was so dangerous that the SEALS and the rangers turned it down. We dedided to static line our exits out of the plane. The plane was to be retirement present but I decieded to use it on this mission because the flux capacitor allows for a specific yawl rate that gives the pilot (me) enough time to bank a hard right turn...engage the auto pilot and still jump into the conflict...a mere 100 yards behind my unit. We then set off on foot (these special military running shoes that allow a human to run at 1/3 the speed faster than normal) in the direction of our target, the stolen nuclear materials that were stolen from secret nuclear bases in Russia, US, Antartica, the Moon and Mars. As we climbed the 50000 foot hills between our dropzone, which i flew into with my Extreme VX 64, and our target I saw the massive nature of my genitalia (aka cock n' balls) began to retard my progress, so while still in flight, I pulled out my knife and severed my heretofore unused package. After I caught up with the group, we soon reached the staging area. I used a lighter to carterize the wound. I then taped my genitals to a grenade along with a little note that said "eat dick, you little Mouseketeers!" I had totally screwed the spot and we'd landed in Disney World. But what the hell, I'm special ops, so I figured I might as well kick some ass and take some names anyway. Those goddamn Goofy and Mickey had pissed me off as a child, leaving me sexually frustrated and needing to find my inner most femine side. Unsure where to turn to for help, I found the nearest emergency shelter for the sexually frustrated and waited a while till I was seen by......." Keep the story going, please. Justin My Homepage
