LOL! Nope, but my father is and I spent a lot of time hanging in a dental office growing up. Making plaster molds, playing with mercury, acting like Luke Skywalker in the dental chair while zapping things with the X-ray machine. And you wonder why I came out so twisted. Go ahead.

There is that too. I'm not one of those guys who would make a "3-point standing landing". Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

Interesting, but that could get really messy. How about air compressors and small power tools? Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

Did I make it? Huh? BEER! Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

I don't think I'm quite ready for a Freefly Extravaganza. The closest I get to freeflying is unstable bellyflying like a flapping chicken.

Boy is that succinct! Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

Or at least good enough not to get caught, and that is the important thing. Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

Good tip about the clothing. But now that I am thinking about this (and getting no work done), it brings up more questions. When prepping for a nude jump, do you just put your rig on naked then pull some shorts over the leg straps for loading and the ride to altitude? (I'm not sure how you'd do a shirt, but I'm not worried about that one.

Could be, or maybe you'll just get extra juice on the jumper cables. Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

Nah. I'm just an amateur compared to some of the folks here. Of course, that always gives me a source of inspiration. One must have goals, you know. By the way, Pammi, way to dodge answering the question. Maybe Merrick can be convinced to post the details. Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

That happened to me like every other jump while I was on student gear. I agree that it is no fun! Hang in there. It gets much better when you get your own gear. Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

Merrick's signature on a recent post had me wondering so I thought I'd set up a little poll. What was in Store for Merrick? Auto maintenance Kinky hRW New options for his rig Don't know, don't want to Don't know, but wish someone would do it to me Maybe Pammi or Merrick will enlighten us later.

Hey, that would work! Mine is on order. It will probably be another month or more before I get it because I didn't feel like coughing up extra cash for the "rush" order. In the meantime, I still have to use the nasty student ones. Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

Due to the nasty weather and my wife not accompanying me, I came in at a pathetic 0:5:1 for four days at the DZ. How depressing. There was so much wind and rain that lots of people in Delmarva tent city woke up with collapsed or flooded tents. How was everyone else's weekend? Better, I hope. Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

The skydiving is probably safer. Where I live (near Washington DC), the traffic is way too messy to regularly ride any kind of motorcycle. It would be safer for me to do low hook turns than do a lap of the Beltway in rush hour. (Not that I plan on either.) Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

I'm generally fine with flying. I went on rides once in an open cockpit plane when I was little. We did loops and rolls. I loved it. The only really scary flight I've been on was when I was in the Army. I was loaded on a C-130 for a jump, so I had a parachute (static line) and everything. Then one of the engines caught on fire. Whatever, we had 3 more. The pilots wouldn't let us jump. I assume they were worried about canopies catching on fire. We ended up doing an off-runway landing. The tailgate wouldn't lower, so we were forced to jump out of the jump doors onto the ground. Of course, in typical paratrooper fashion, we all asked, "Can we log it?" I mention this incident anytime someone blubbers on about "jumping out of perfectly good airplanes". Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

I suppose I wasn't clear. When I said that, what I meant by "it stops" was really "my collapsing my slider stops", which I do. Now that I've cured my case of Slida-Flappida, I just need to work on my Slida-OnMyAssa when I land.
-
So am I, but my wife is pretty much a whuffo (1 tandem), so I am really handicapped. She usually doesn't go to the DZ with me, so I am left there without her, unable to even try the "DZ Love Fest" game. If only I could get her hooked into AFF and jumping..... Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."
-
We got one pair up, GeekStreak, so it isn't a complete bust... or is it? Seemed like a nice bust to me. Anyway, we may yet have some more entries in the contest. Of course, I'm not trying to discourage the boss from starting the "Whose Hiney" contest either. The more skin, the merrier. Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."
-
It might be a "placebo effect". I don't know or care, as long as it stops the stupid flapping noise behind my head.
-
Seeing as I'm taking off tomorrow and Friday to go to a 4-day boogie, I should come back with a decent score. However, I'll probably come back with 0:?:? unless my wife decides to come up to the DZ. I'll keep you posted. BTW, is the beer figure cans or cases? Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

The scary thing is, this thread is sort of what I expected from the subject. Does that mean other people are as weird as I am? Anyway.... What do you do about "partial humps"? I can think of several different things that might merit partial credit on the hump portion of the ratio. So we don't have any presidential-style evasions on what is considered "sex", we should define things. I'll nominate a .6 for a getting (or giving, for the ladies) a blow job. As the "boobies" threads reminded me, we should have something for that too. Ideas? Come on people. I'd hate for Tiger to keep coming back with "0:?:?" for his hump:jump:beer ratio. Let's at least help him out by giving the option for partial credit.
-
Thanks. I was beginning to worry.
-
Oh, come on! Please, PLEASE, can't we just focus on the boobies that were supposed to be the subject of this thread. You people are giving the rest of us guys a bad rap. The ladies will start to think we aren't all sex-obsessed, hormonally-controlled, boobie-staring skydiving freaks. I would hate for that to happen, when I am proud to be among those that fit that description. Justin "If it can't kill you, it isn't worth doing."

I can't believe nobody offered to kiss them and make them better. What a buncha slackers. Of course, I'm married, so I can't.
