Keller's in Dallas had a mondo-burger as well. Too bad they closed down... And the pics are real - it's a 6lb hamburger with 5lbs of fixins. And it is the same thing that Sunny posted the link to.

I had a mgr/boss like that. I don't work there anymore by my own choice. I hate micro-managing people.. that is bullshit. Do you take lunch breaks? Daily breaks? Are you a smoker? I'd throw back all of the breaks that you don't take in her face.

Looks more informative than it does advertising.... This is one sport that loves to find out everything as soon as new products are released, such as the V1...

Would you buy a new PD reserve because it packs smaller?
DShiznit replied to cpoxon's topic in Gear and Rigging
Oh, I understand the concept, I was wondering if you did. Someone jumping a main loaded at 1.8 is not likely to be shopping a reserve loaded a 1.1. That would be an exit weight of 175 lb. with a Stiletto 97 main, 234 cu.in., and PD-160R, 388 cu. in. At a 15% reduction in volume, you still have 330 cu. in. Thats a pretty big spread. A reserve loaded at 1.4 or 1.5 would be more realistic. A PD-126R at 296 cu. in. or a PD-113R at 286 cu. in. for example. Thats why I asked "Smaller than what, bigger than what"? Sparky You were just being to analytical of my numbers given as an example, but you understand what I am conveying. Look at JP's post, he is saying the same thing shortly before your post. -

Did you not read the first post and grasp the concept of this thread? -
Oh, that kind of ass kissing... sorry!

DShiznit replied to cpoxon's topic in Gear and Rigging
I think it would be more beneficial to buy a new one that packs smaller, but is acutally bigger. This way people can have the small container that they want to jump the main at 1.8ish (as an example) and keep a reserve at 1:1. Just my initial thought. -
Why, you need your salad tossed? Feeling neglected?

I've had it happen a time or two, and I ALWAYS wear gloves. Don't panic, reach up with your other hand and unhook your finger.

Dogs are awesome... My avatar is one of mine, and also the best dog in the universe.

I didn't think you could make a helicopter jump w/o a B license...

Experienced Dogs- minimum skills for CReW camps?
DShiznit replied to homer's topic in Canopy Relative Work
From what I've been told, I wingloading of 1.3ish is desired. I have jumped a 160 Lightning the most, and I'm 215-220 out the door. I have tried to sashay many times and cannot get it down. I've had most success with over the top rotations. Hard toggle, front riser dive. -
That movie is a classic!!!! Just walk like you got jock itch!

Guess you never saw Gone Overboard...

I've jumped at several DZ's and have only encountered this to happen in one place... the largest. I've talked to the GM at the DZ that this happened at and have been told that you are responsible for you. To hell with the others that aren't in the door. You jump when you feel safe. I'm the guy that gives the "yellers" the finger and take my sweet time. Next time I'll try the billvon special.

Just watch out for people yelling "GO!!" while you're in the door..
