Are you saying you are the Whole, cause I can kinda see that? And please explain what a "cosmic foetus but" is, and whether jeans can make them look bigger than they really are. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Are you making fun of President Bush? Never met Jim Rome or Roger Nelson, but all things considered, I would rather tell people I earned my living the way Roger did, not Jim. Jim and his ilk add little to society but short-lived passions in search of the almighty dollar. What a sad way of which to be thought. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

When I was single, I preferred to meet women the old fashion way...900 numbers. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Actually, I think Archimedes' principle states that when a body is immersed in a fluid, the phone will ring. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Got a pair of "Chuck Tailor" 's (Walmart Chuck Taylor-knock offs) for $9.99. They're cheap because there's no tread on the bottom. The better to slide in the occasionally well timed swoop. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Was flying in and out of Trinidad once when an Aeroflot jet cut the corner between the taxiway and the runway short. Went off into the soft stuff and couldn't get out. Shut down the airport for most of the morning. Those Russian pilots are nothing but fun lovin'. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Is that why we always do a pin check on our reserve? Nice article. You can't really appreciate Bill Booth until you've seen his video in Japanese. Oh-hi-o. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

They have one they jump occasionally in Hawaii. It climbs at an ear-popping 200-300 fpm. But I have done dirt dives in it on the climb to altitude. Gotta like that. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Q: How do you get a Southwest Flight Attendant into the cockpit? A: Grease up her hips and put a cupcake on the instrument panel. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I think I would have put those in two different posts. But that's just me. I jump a Vengeance at 1.6 and enjoy it quite a bit. Not sure who said it opened on heading, but I really have to fly it through the openings. Those openings allowed me to perfect harness inputs. Never been slammed on an opening, though. Nice and soft and I have jumped with a camera on the last 20 or so. I pro-pack and am not real particular about it. Very nice. It does not swoop long, but that may be due to operator head spacing. I can get it to slow way down, but even when it planes out with no toggle input, the length of the swoop is not monumental. Might consider downsizing to a 120 in a few more jumps, but for now I am very happy with the V. BTW, it is my second one. The first one did a diving turn on three out of every four openings. PD took it back no questions asked. They definitely stand behind their stuff. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

My youngest daughter refused to go grocery shopping with me after I asked the clerk if she thought I had enough toilet paper for the amount of food I bought. Teenage girls. Go figure. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Just got done draining my hematoma (Never really called it that before. Usually call it Li'l Elvis.) and was wondering what the camping is like at Raeford. Assume it is allowed and there is plenty of room. Anything a newby to the AO should know? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Do they ever let you see the frozen body? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

What would a trip to the DZ be if not for a trip to the bar. Here's a picture of Arlo and Skymama in the bar doing the hourly raffles. Arlo works at the tunnel and she worked her butt of yesterday at the raffle. The second shot is of Arlo and Phoschek. The picture does not do Arlo justice. She's another cutie. Very sorry I did not get a shot of Tsunami yesterday either. She was running around all day also. Thanks to all for doing a great job. Skydivers are cool. Peace out. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Talked to Nancy, Chris wife for awhile. She said Chris was doing well and very upbeat. He had spent an extended period sitting up in a wheelchair the previous day and felt good doing it. He is going to be allowed to get out more and Nancy said he was really looking forward to it. In the picture below, Nancy is wearing pants that Chris made her just recently. Also below is a person claiming to post as Phoschek here. Checked the roster and couldn't find her, but I figured she was too cute for you you guys not to see her. Also included TB99 below. I am an equal opportunity hottie poster. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

What a great day yesterday was at Deland. Lots of people there supporting the Chris Caldwell Boogie. I get there early enough to be the second one registered ("We're jumping the big plane, Spike!") and got in on several excellent jumps. Carl Daugherty organized the RW and Hunter Roberts and Jimmy Tranter did the freeflyers. Carl put together a four way for the first one that got 12-points, meeting my definition for success (#-Way X Points ~= 50). Then an eight-way, a nine-way, and then I did two 12-way hybrids. I was wearing a camera on the first hybrid and at the end, saw a blur below me and going away. Slowed it down a little and realized it was Hunter tracking away from the formation. Very impressive. The raffles appeared to go very well also. They had the big ones ($10 a pop) and then hourly or so smaller ones. Two people who are soon to become close friends of mine each won 10 minutes in the tunnel during the smaller ones. The silent auctions were going well when I left. PD, Racer, Vector and several others had things on which to bid. Have included some pics of the people there. If anyone is offended by their picture, I blame it entirely on me for I have no skills. Sorry I didn't get Rdutch in. Saw him a couple of times, but he was moving at about Mach 1.8 and didn't have a chance to get a pic of him. Here's the first batch. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I thought golf was, "Drive for show, putt for dough"? If anyone asks me to play, I tell them sure if I can be the goalie. Now that would be a sport. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Looks like a little aural sex to me. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Have made several "precautionary" landings due to minor things such as engine chip lights. After clearing the plug, I have never been questioned about maintenance performed before taxiing out and taking off. Of course, I always called my maintenance people and boss to get their clearance before I departed. Have also had people working for me land with one engine inop and take-off when fixed with no interaction from airport personnel or FAA. Feel safe now? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

For what it's worth, I don't have to, but I am going to work on Saturday. It's "the right thing to do." I feel for you Cana...Cani...Canu...Ca-not-gonna-work-there-much-longer. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

My butt in the exact same place a former president's butt was. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Just got one for my PC101. Very happy with it. From the price, it looks like you didn't get a CAMEYE II. I did and it's very convenient, but the cutouts make it easy to operate w/o it. Recommend a site. It appears to shoot lower than eyesight level, unless you adjust the helmet back on your head. Took about 8 weeks for it to get here. Hope your experience is as good as mine. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Any reason to go Saturday? Looks like I'll at least make Sunday. Anyone else gonna be there? Got a new video camera and have almost perfected the art of shooting the air space into which a formation is about to travel. If nothing else, I have a memory stick and can take some pix on the ground to post next week. See ya there. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I do. Left hand - power; right hand - directional control by tilting the rotor disk; pedals - keep in trim during flight, turns during hovering and taxiing. But those are just the skills. The hard part is filing a flight plan that the FAA will accept, cause those guys are nothing but fun. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

It would be today, too. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
