Tried to answer this for my thesis in grad school. Didn't work because I couldn't find anyone to fund it. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

How can you tell an outgoing engineer? He looks at your shoes when he talks to you, not his. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Agree. I had a 150 Stilleto in mine and always had a problem keeping it closed. Went to a 135, problem went away. Don't downsize, rightsize. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Mahalo all for the interest. Got a call today from PD and they were calling, "No Mas" on this canopy. They are giving me a new one of my choice. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

You cannot legislate ignorance or ego out of existence. Education is the key. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Got in a verbal altercation with a whuffo who, after I discussed/explained tracking, just "knew" that to move forward, you extended your arms as far in front of you as you could. He saw it on Superman. And he was serious. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

How about two man teams? One jumping and one with the beer on the ground. Swoop zone is set up from line A to line B (100 feet? 150 feet, 200 feet?). Swooper must enter at Line A and swoop as far as possible. Beerman cannot enter the swoop zone, but can run past it. Points for length of swoop. Points subtracted for time from touchdown to chug and area in the zone not swooped. Examples: Swooper enters at Line A and Swoops 80 feet past line B. Beerman runs to swooper and swooper runs to Beerman to get beer. Points for full swoop. Bonus points for extra swoop distance outside of zone. Penalty points for time from TD to Chug. Swooper swoops half way through zone, Beerman cannot run into zone with beer. Points for length of swoop. Penalty points for failing to swoop entire zone. Penalty points for time from TD to chug. Would involve some strategy and possibly two jumps, with people fliflopping positions. Also a way, with one jump, to involve nonswoopers as the Beerman. Just a thought. I was bored. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

That's 100% true. I heard they were thinking about including Warren the Squeegee Man and Three Card Monte as part of the next wave of new characters. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Sam's Club has a Bucket of 'Ritas you can buy. You dump a bottle of Takillya in the bucket with their mix, put it in the freezer overnight, and scoop at will. Not a bad 'rita, but it may be way too easy. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Anyone up for lunch? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Excuse me? You go boy!! It appears there is nothing they can do for my canopy and I heard the words, "free, new one" mentioned.

Too bad you didn't have a camera on a timer you could set up in front of your TV. Then it could have started videoing the show when it came on. I bet someone could make a bundle of money if they came up with something like this. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Not to mention lotion, condoms, tie-wraps, aspirin. That adds up my friends. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Got out of jury duty once by walking in and say, "So, where do the white guys sit?" Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

He may be dead, but Sam will get you for this! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Cute, fluffy, little puppy? How about Manapua. Knew two Rottweilers in Hawaii, both were named Rasta. Also knew a Meeker. If it acts like most dogs I know, what about naming it Clinton? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Jumped with a guy last week that said that Heather was stationed in VA and he jumped with Range in Suffolk. When I read this, I had the same question. Well, eeneR? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Everytime I go to the Post Office, I ask the guy if he got to talk to Lance at this year's Christmas party. He looks at me like I am nuts. Gonna miss Ullrich. May have been his best competition this year. Second in the Team Time Trial says a lot. Go Postal Lance!

I hate to ask what your suggestion is for how to raise money for prostate cancer research. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

The Raid by Benjamin Schemmer (Strongly recommended to AggieDave) Flags of our Fathers by James Bradley Once an Eagle by Anton Myrer The Best and the Brightest by David Halberstam I started Lord of the Rings twice, but, due to an obvious personality flaw, I could never finish it. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

The beauty of a large dropzone is they have large planes. Large planes require a large number of people to fly. For this reason, it's easier to get on a load at a large DZ than a small DZ. Anonymity is a good thing, sometimes. Cliques at small DZ's are tighter than at large ones. The smaller the DZ, the tighter the clique. And if you don't believe it, you're probably in one. Want to do something different this weekend? Go to the DZ with the goal of meeting or jumping with two different people this weekend. Who knows, you might like it.

Sorry, this is one topic I can't get into, apparently. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

This happened to a guy at my last DZ in a sit and he broke multiple ribs. Would be interested to know what kind of canopy your friend was jumping. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Sorry, I don't see it. What's wrong with his body position? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
