I've had asthma all my life, and I've never had any problem skydiving, whatever the altutude. As far as blue lips go, try to breath slowly and deeply as you reach the higher altitudes. I am amused by the simplicity of this game. Bring me your finest meats and cheeses.

For anyone who doesn't already have them, you may want to invest in some velcro-less risers. The toggles are a lot easier to grab when your fingers are cold, since they tend to bulge out a bit. A canopy descent is much more relaxed when you don't spend the first 30 seconds trying to unstow your brakes with your useless numb fingers. Velcro toggles can also be stowed so that the toggles are folded and are a little easier to grab -- ask someone if you don't know. I am amused by the simplicity of this game. Bring me your finest meats and cheeses.

Jumps: ~125 Highest: 15,500 Lowest: 4,500 (balloon) Most memorable: A 5-way back in Sept. where I was exactly where I wanted to be start to finish Landing of the year: After having a tension knot above one toggle, had to land w/ rear risers -- ugly tumbling landing on the runway at Quincy and tore a hole in my bootie Mals: One no-pull shortly after getting my rig. "Where is that $&%# hackey?!!" Silver! Most jumps in a day: 6 (I'll improve that this year!) Firsts: Reserve ride, balloon, helicopter, bi-plane, night jump, night RW, first WFFC, first jumps from CASA & Skyvan, first jump w/ my own gear For this year: - get control of my fall rate - dabble in the 'Dark Side' (after getting FF friendly rig) - jump more - meet more DZ.comers!

You'll love getting the tat. How does it feel? Like a group of needles going in-and-out of your skin really fast, of course. I was careful to keep mine dry and slathered w/ Noxema for a few weeks, and it healed very well. Be sure to go sober -- or they may not tattoo you.

What do to when you really don't know what to say

There's a BASE one, too ... -
A small and insignificant suggestion. Ya think a post icon in the form of a mug o' beer could be found -- for when folks are announcing "firsts"? thanks for everything HH!

Woo hoo! The weather was ideal in the Old Dominion State this weekend, making for a beautiful clear sky and a big, bright moon. I was amazed at how easily I could see the other members of my four-way. What a rush! We didn't turn a lot of points, but who cares? I even managed to stand up a second night landing, though I almost overshot the low grass. I suppose I rely too much on my altimeter for judging when to start a landing pattern. Night jumps rule! 0:8:1

I hope no one makes a joke about that being sexistential. Sorry. "If Fonzie is so cool, why does he hang around high school nerds?" - anonymous post from jumptheshark.com

Is that what they call "multi-tasking"? "If Fonzie is so cool, why does he hang around high school nerds?" - anonymous post from jumptheshark.com

Atop a lifeguards' platform on the Virginia Beach oceanfront. We started off in the sand among the dunes, but we almost got run over by some kid on a dirtbike. "If Fonzie is so cool, why does he hang around high school nerds?" - anonymous post from jumptheshark.com

You mean, like when you ask them (over your shoulder while playing PC games), "Wanna do it later?"? "If Fonzie is so cool, why does he hang around high school nerds?" - anonymous post from jumptheshark.com

Good work, SkyMonkeyONE. Here it is. "If Fonzie is so cool, why does he hang around high school nerds?" - anonymous post from jumptheshark.com

I especially like the fact that it has a 'Gifts' section. "Look Mom, I got you a hunk of someone's ass!". "If Fonzie is so cool, why does he hang around high school nerds?" - anonymous post from jumptheshark.com

Does anyone else participate in the SETI@Home project? For those of you who haven't heard of it, it allows anyone with a PC and an internet connection to help out with the SETI project (The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence). It's the project Jodie Foster was a part of in "Contact". It listens to radio noise from space and searches for evidence of non-randomness. A program on your PC analyses a chunk of radio noise data (collected from the Aricebo radio telescope in Puerto Rico), sends the results back to SETI, and then gets another (run 24/7 or as a screen saver). It's pretty cool. The program itself looks pretty cool whilst it doing its thing, too. I've racked up about 1050 results now from 2.3 years of CPU time. You can download at: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ We should form a dropzone.com team. "If Fonzie is so cool, why does he hang around high school nerds?" - anonymous post from jumptheshark.com

Ha! It will be a very funny scene when someone's mum sees the printout of that. I wish I could see it. "If Fonzie is so cool, why does he hang around high school nerds?" - anonymous post from jumptheshark.com

Hmmm. The version I heard is that the mustache is drawn on with one's uhhh... wiener (after sodomy, obviously). Perhaps that was the prison version. Could you post this list as an attachment -- with the appropriate warnings, of course. "If Fonzie is so cool, why does he hang around high school nerds?" - anonymous post from jumptheshark.com

Cool! Thanks! The image is a pretty darned good one. You're trailing smoke right over our landing area. Attached is a pic of W97. It's looks as though you're above the trees just to the right of the triangle, headed right (Northwest).

How 'bout Middle Peninsula Regional Airport (W97) near West Point, VA (home of Skydive the Point). "If Fonzie is so cool, why does he hang around high school nerds?" - anonymous post from jumptheshark.com

Yeah so?! I only like the really pretty ones (beaks are a turn-off). There's nothing wrong with barnyard sex. Think about it -- it's okay to kill and eat animals, yet it's taboo to screw them! (??) Hypocrisy!!

Now there is a good idea for an adult film; Santa cumming down the chimney to delivery "toys" to all the naughty girls. Ho ho ho! Go Hokies!

I recently shared w/ my mother that I really hate the holidays, and that I would appreciate it if she would refrain from giving me any gifts (as I do w/ all of my family and friends). Her response was essentially, "Yeah, whatever". WTF! Can't I opt out of this madness? Am I the only one who thinks that scheduled, shotgun-style gift giving is exceedingly tacky? Must we all have an entire month ruined by this assininity every year? Anyways, how do you folks feel about the December festivals? Perhaps I need some perspective ... The Winter Holidays I love 'em. I look forward to them every year Aside from a few bad things, they're a good time o' year Aside from a few good things, they're a pain in the butt I'd rather jab a fork into my genitals than endure another holiday season Go Hokies!

142 Curiously, this is also seems to be my fall rate. "You can't drink all day...Unless you start in the morning." -- Gary Larson
