Ever seen "Clerks"? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Has anyone read the write-up in Skydiving? It alluded to a different scenario with regards to what the pilot knew or agreed to. No idea at all if there is any validity to that. Don't want to imply that because it is in print, it is the truth. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Cuz everyone knows Carrot Top is getting laid more than Brad Pitt. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

The word for 26 September will be: ralphster\ RAAAAAAALF-ster\(verb) : an unavoidable consequence of a night of rostering; giving back on the same level as receiving Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I fly the thing on the right. We stop things like that on the left. It's not boring. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I thought it was Little Eva? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

That's the one. Pretty excitin', huh! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

The partners submit a fake paper which Affleck doesn't know about. Affleck gets the real one and sees the light. He refuses to submit it to the court because it is the wrong thing to do (old guy was senile when he signed it). When he finds out about the other one being submitted, he holds it over his bosses. Samuel L and Affleck become lovers. Definitely the feel good movie of the year. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Saw a video from a previous year's Bridge Day where some guy biffed it in pretty bad. In an effort to tough it out, he bounced up, took a step forward, and crumpled to the ground. They replayed his landing slowly. It appeared that on landing, he broke one of the bones in his leg (tib or fib, not sure which) and probably cracked the other one. As he put his weight on it, the other one broke and, as he fell, his leg bent halfway betwen his knee and his ankle. Really ugly. The lesson may be, if you are down, stay down until you have been looked at by someone in the know. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I think you have a great big teammate who did just that and then regretted it for several hundred feet. Ever see the video? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

The closest I can get to that is, "At times, my job doesn't stink". Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

The title of the post is, "I tested my morals at work!!!". If there was no doubt, then his morals would not have been tested. Perhaps renaming the post would be appropriate. I understand venting and I agree he is, in this instance, fighting Darwinism. But that's what people in our line of work sign up for. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Sorry, but I don't see it. If you think you had a choice, you are either in the wrong line of work, or you are burned out. I would hate to be in the situation where I needed a medic, and when he got there, I knew he was trying to determine whether or not to save me. I am not saying you didn't do a good job. Congratulations. You saved a life. You cannot put a price on that. You should revel in that accomplishment. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

You're wrong. Women are nuts. And I know their Queen. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Apparently it is. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Freefliers and creepers. Recipe for disaster. Those flags look starched. What kind of winds did you guys have? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

This is exactly the wrong approach to any problem. You show your youth and idealism when you say crazy stuff like this. Where would this country be if everytime something was going right, people resorted to truth. Danger, Will Robinson, danger! If truth was such a good thing, would there be racks and racks (npi) of padded bras and hair dye at Walmart? NO. Wally knows what makes the world go round. And that's the truth! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Unfortunately, not. Possible move to left coast next year means I have to hit everything out east I can. Have talked to Billy Weber and his gf Sarah, who is a participant. Sounds like a big time out there. They were jazzed. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

This plus this Equals she is a smart, total hottie. QED Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Cut off my end cells? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I was on an 8-way jump this weekend. We turned several points and then were starting for the final “Big O” to finish it up. My Time-Out went off at my programmed altitude (4000’), which was our wave off altitude. Broke the cardinal rule and finished the point (a time consuming rotating pieces back to a round), broke and began to track away. Heard the second alert, but it was much shorter than usual. I figured I was tracking over or around someone and got into some type of reduced air pressure differential and was hearing a false warning. I continued what I felt was a normal-length-of-time track and threw out, never having heard what I expected; my “actual” second normal length Time-Out warning. As I was bring my left hand up over my head, I observed I was at 2000’, about 500’ below where I normally start the sequence. I know the obvious; complacency, not breaking as briefed, failing to respond to the alerts,… All of this was discussed in depth when we got on the ground. The question I have is; What determines how long the Time Out alert sounds? I assumed it was a timed circuit that would sound for the same amount of time no matter what. Does anyone know if, in fact, it is based on altitude, i.e. starts at one altitude and will sound until passing another altitude? I am trying to determine if the length of my alert is usually longer because I am normally in a track with more horizontal airspeed and thus descending at a slower rate. I am thinking that on this jump, since I had not yet started a track and I was moving faster vertically than normal, which would support the start-at-one-altitude-stop-after-so-many-feet theory. It worked normally on subsequent jumps. Any insight anyone has on this would be appreciated. And again, I was a self-admitted DumbAss on this jump. That won’t happen again. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Like they say at Indy, it's not the car, it's the motor. Good luck to you and all participants. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Right, off ya go, Mate. Could be worse. We could be from Canada, then you'd have no use whatsoever for the letter U. Doesn't that sound aboot right? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I strongly feel Oz should be a fully enfranchised satellite state, and am fully prepared to fight any small country we can overrun before the Friends season premiere this Thursday to support that belief. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

2000: 7: 1 2000 = lowest altitude deployed. Never ever think you can get one more point in when you know you should break. And never trust a Golden Knight, current or former. 1 = First trip to Dave and Buster's. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
