Guess I know what my next coaching jumps are going to be on. My new suit is a BevSuit. Can I get those shin pockets you got added on, Dave, or would I have to order a new suit? PS You really fall at 115? Damn. I wanna do that.

I say no chat room. I like the post thing. That way everyone can get involved in every topic if they so choose. ::chants:: Vote no on Chat! Vote no an Chat!:: Besides that is so . . . oh I don't know . . . AOL.

The two do not compare. The kid with the gun did it on purpose and you cannot stop that. The kids with fireworks are just plain unsafe. And noone is saying guns are safer than fireworks. Peoples reaction to guns is different than their reaction to fireworks. Everyone knows guns are dangerous and 99.99999% of people treat them as such. Most people think fireworks are harmless and therefore treat them as such. THAT is why in most places fireworks are illegal. Because people are so irresponsible when using them. This is no about guns being more dangerous it is about peoples attitudes about the two subjects leading to greater accidents. And in most peoples opinion it is not an accident when a person pulls a gun and kills people. The two do not equate.

You are not seriously thinking of killing it, are you? You've said it yourself. That's someone's pet. Someone loves that little guy. They must not love him too much if they let him wander around everyone elses property. This is the problem with pet owners. THey think their pets have the right to trespass. Here is what I would do. Take a picture of the cat. Then catch it and take it to the Inhumane society. Then post notes all over town with the cats picture saying "If this is your cat it is at the Humane Society and will most likely be put to sleep if you do not claim it." See if you ever see that cat again. Pet owners should have more respect for their neighbors. I had a cat that always slept on my car. He scratched the hell out of my paint. Then one night he decides to sleep in the engine compartment. My wife came out and started the car and heard a god awful noise. She opens the hood and there in the fan shroud is this cat shredded but alive. Needless to say he never scratched my paint again. Pet owners take more responsibility and things like this would not happen. Oh and I shed no tears over the cat but my wife cried like a girl. . .go figure.

Because guns cannot fly through the air and land of a roof and start a fire or burn up miles of forest land. Secondly even though they are just fireworls they are explosive ordinance and thirdly, some communities do not want to be kept up all night listening to fireworks, so noise ordinances make them illegal. I am sure there are other reasons but those are the ones I have heard. The big problem is that you rarely see people shooting guns indiscriminantly (except me) but unfortunately people tend to be far more irresponsible with fireworks because , hell look at the posts in this thread, they are just fireworks. People forget they are dangerous and treat them like toys.

Ivan this obseesion you have has gone too far. You should be ashamed of yourself posting your boobies on the web! Shame on you

LMAO!

this is the fourth or fifth thread I have seen on this and the last I heard they were having some probs but would be up again. That was last month sometime but I do not remember the thread. Have not heard anything else since. Sorry

Man the world is going nuts!

No I usually stand in the center of some endangered species den and shoot at such an angle that the rounds come straight down and land on as many of the offspring as I can get. On one particular New Years I remember we took our kids andput them in a circle around me and I shot up at a very slight angle. Missed the oldest by only a few inches. I was having a bad year that year. My aim was off. Lord . . . do . . . I . . . really . . . have . . . to . . . say . . . it? Some people believe anything

ummm . . . uh . . . er . . . I was too drunk I do not recall?

::raises voice:: Get Her! ::shakes fist and chases:: Limp Bizkit's biscuit is stale. Creed has lost it's spirit and Metallica has bought into it's own image too much.

I am just curious, why don't we think that common sense courteous driving needs to be made law? Let's be honest, how many times have you come down the hammer lane and someone in front refuses to get over so you have to pass them on the right? Or how many times have you refused to pull over to the slower lane to let someone pass you? How many times have you tried to pass someone only to have them speed up? How many times have you gotten on the highway and then as you come to the next ramp and you clearly have right of way due to a yield sign and the on coming traffic fails to yield? Or how about this one (my personal favorite) You are in the right hand lane, someone is in the left lane. Sign says "Left lane ends 1500 feet." The person next to you neither speeds up nor slows down to merge. Five hundred feet later another sign "Left lane ends 1000 feet." Still no response from the vehicle next to you. 500 feet later "Left lane ends 500 feet". Still no response. 250 feet, 100 feet and suddenly they try to push you over? Apparently the sign is there to inform you that their lane ends to make way for them? Is that the law? The truth is that laws like this one are there because we as a species are too self centered to prevent "Common Sense" accidents from happening. Added to that is this concept of common sense, I can talk to three different people about the same thing and get three different ideas of what is "common sense". It is subjective. It is unfortunate but I guess until we begin policing ourselves, these dumb ass laws are going to keep coming. Now the seat belt law or helmet law . . . that is stupid

Wow a couple of things: First I have no idea how I missed this thread all this time so here I am checking in as a non-hottie. Second: Hotties look out! First Bill Gates takes the corporate world now we got non-hotties taking the entertainment world! To all hotties : (non-hotties sing along) "It's the end of the world as you know it. It's the end of the world as you know it. It's the end of the world as you know it and I feel fine!"

Something like "Next time I will not be coming home"

I know this was posted somewhere before . . . Ivan wanna give a hand here?

I like the guy with the pipe wrench, and the one with brass knuckles but by far the best was the nun . . .

For those of us who have only been around a short time . . . how do you identify a troll?

I am planning on 150 for food because honestly I gotta eat good food at least once a day or I go insane. (Hey think about it, I weigh 210 and am only 5'8'. (My wife good cook!) I figure if the jumps are 20 and I average 7 a day that will be another 1400 bucks. I figure I bring a tent or just sleep under the stars and give myself another 400 for incidentals that comes to 1950. Now I think what the hell make it an even 2 grand. Thanks for helping me plan this out. Time to start tightening my belt.

Here that . . . >click click< . . . that is the sound of inevitability. You can bury it in the back yard

Here in Ohio we take our pistolas out and shoot them into the air. I personally emptied three mags of 15 yesterday!

I have not done this since I was a teen. It was the only thing I liked about New Years growing up. I thought it was cool but none of my wishes ever came true. I must have been eating the wrong grapes

Congrats! Just think of all the jump money you will have now!

Because, as we all know, if you give a white male a hard on he is easily fooled and has no brain of his own and cannot possibly have a pretinent stance on anything, right? So because I am a white male and I happen to like Bush I must be led around by my hard on because I must be stupid. give me a break . . . Oh and I find his faith refreshing. But of course that means I must be stupid too right because I am a Christian and not ashamed of it? And he is not inflicting it you. Free speech gives him the right to say what he believes just as you have the right to say what you do. Or because he is the President should he NOT have the right to speak his mind because it may offend you? Or are you saying that a man of faith has no right to be President and that the position should be reserved for those of non-Christian persuasion? Which of the civil liberties should the President loose? Free speech or Freedom of Religion? So do you have a problem with loosing certain rights but not others? Or do you believe that those rights are only for you and those who think like you?

I am in a similar boat but I am no where near that lean. I am 5' 7.75" tall and weigh 210 pounds. During my AFF all my instructors wore weight belts, flew the mantis position and those with protracks had registered speeds between 154 and 146 MPH. I have been told by all of them that I fall extremely fast. And no matter how hard I try to de-arch I slow very slightly and become very unstable. I have three jumps with my buddy now who is 160 lbs and 6'2" and needless to say we have yet to dock because of the extreme differences in our fall rate. Our 3rd jump together however was by far the best. He was able to increase his rate by flying mantis while I de-arched and we stayed farely level for the first time but were still unable to dock. His suit is so tight there is no slack and mine is a thick material with some lining and 4 in. wings as well as baggy as hell. From everything I have been told, those of us who fly fast will set the pace more often than not. Realistically we can only slow our rate down so much and maintain stability. Those who fall slower will unfortunately need to wear weight belts and fall faster because it is easier to speed up than it is to slow down. At least this is what I have been told. Anyone got any counter arguments I am open to suggestions because I am worried no one will jump with me if I cannot slow down either.
