    In "American" format (month first) and colorful. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Two weeks ago I went to Deland and jumped out of their Skyvan. This weekend, I went to Z-hills and jumped out of Deland's Skyvan. I have jumped out of Deland's PAC at Clewiston and at old Lake Wales. Have also jumped their Skyvan at the Palatka Hog Flop Boogie. Bob H. is a giver. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Nice vid. A little of everything. Looks like you could have sqeezed one more on that C-130. Next time, call me. I have got to jump over Palm Island. I would link that vid on the "Videos" page on here. It may get lost on YouTube. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Completing the 12th step? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Not sure what you are looking for, but my 'rents say these bands were just sick. The heavy metal/grunge guys of the Big Band era. Or words to that effect. Glenn Miller Benny Goodman featuring Gene Krupa on the drums. 'Rents appreciated Krupa, but didn't trust him. Apparently he was caught with marijuana at one time. Harry James Duke Ellington Tommy Dorsey Andrews Sisters Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Anyone tried Sierra Nevada's Torpedo Extra IPA? Haven't found it here yet. As bitter as their Celebration Ale but higher ACBV. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Thought the same thing, but the credits have him listed as the double for Scott Caan. Also, they spelled Dan BC's name as "Brodsky-Chonfeld." Ladies and gentlemen, the Rodney Dangerfield of skydiving. No respect. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Credits at the end said Scott Smith and Clint Clawson were the stunt doubles for these guys. But, it did look like a continuous scene. Ran it several times looking for the switch. No joy. Also listed Dan BC as the "jumpmaster". Makes sense since on your first jump (a running, diving exit out of a skyvan) you probably don't have the skills to spot for yourself. But, wth, it put skydiving out there and as they say in Hollywood, there is no such thing as bad publicity. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Do you mean Lahaina? Lihue is on Kauai. Go snorkeling at Molokini. Deeper than most snorking spots, but pretty calm. Also, can visit Tedeschi's Winery. They have, are you ready for this, pineapple wine. A little too sweet for me, but you can always make snow cones out of it. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    A blonde gets tired of all the jokes and dyes her hair. to celebrate, she goes for a drive in the country. While there, she sees a shepherd and his flock out in a field. She stops the car and says, "If I guess exactly how many sheep are in this field, will you give me one?" The shepherd agrees. The woman looks around for about five seconds and says, "247." The shepherd exclaims, "Wow, that's amazing! Go ahead and pick out whatever one you want." The lady does and starts walking back to her car. As she gets to the car, the shepherd says, "I have a counter wager for you. If I tell you exactly what color your hair is naturally, will you give me my dog back?" Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    At what age does the grasp on English grammar slip away? Hint: Take your age and subtract a few years. There are old writers and bold writers, but there very few that can stomach a run-on sentence like that. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Downsize. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Did you not see NickDG's attachment in post number 9 above? Hello! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    In a foxhole with a full frontal assault coming my way - I'll take the long list. Prepping a bridge with C4 and det cord - I'll take the long list. Calling in grid coordinates for close air support - I'll take the long list. Navigating with just a compass and a map - I'll take the long list. Spotting for a stick out of a C-130 or a C-182 - I'll take the long list. Going on liberty - I'll take the long list. (Would consider Bill Clinton as a close second on this one, however.) Eikenberry was a year ahead of me. McC was a year behind me. McC is a soldier and warrior. I respect him for that. But, if the President does not relieve him, he will appear weak. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Quakers Fighting Irish Could be worse. Until 1980, the Pekin Il high school teams were the Chinks. (We're already in SC, right?) Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Any idea what a test of humor is? Compare and contrast a pie in the face with a kick in the genitals. Be specific. Cite examples. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    My school didn't have any fraternities. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    I thought the Miss Nevada tiara would be bigger. Nice video. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    With the demise of the Florida Skydiving Center in Lake Wales (don't kid yourself, it's dead), this situation at SDC, and the promise to revisit the tower issue in Deland in a couple of years, this might be a good time to make a small fortune* by opening a new dropzone in central FLA. *Yes, we all know how to make a small fortune in skydiving, so don't be puerile and feel the need to add it. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    I went from a Vengeance to a Katana. I think the openings on the Katana (WL 1.8) are very docile. Tried to test jump a CF2, but no joy with the rep. Even went so far as to send him my MC number. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    U. S. Army 1975 - 1982 U. S. Coast Guard 1983 - 2005 Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Mach 1.0 equals 49 times the square root of temperature in Rankine. Rankine equals F + 459.67 (460 is probably close enough for Felix). The units are fps. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Skydiving and Thrasher's French Fries in the same day. That is what heaven will be like. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

    Concur. They should have been prosecuted, but I would refuse to condemn an entire profession because of the acts of a few of its members. If we did, we would also count medicine (Josef Mangele), KFC franchisees (John Wayne Gacy), university professors (Ted Kaczynski), and the music industry (Rick Astley) as less than honorable pursuits. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
