  1. Wouldn't that mean it was made out of wine bottles, then? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  2. We're still talking Red Bull, right? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  3. For anyone in North Florida: Heard Skydive Palatka is working on beach jumps on the 4th. I think they are requiring a D license. Call and check to confirm.

    Friday fun

    THE GOLF MATCH Shortly after the Pope had apologized to the Nation of Israel for the treatment of Jews by the Catholic Church over the years, Ehud Barak, then the leader of Israel (since assassinated), sent back a message to the College of cardinals. The proposal was for a friendly game of golf to be played between the two leaders or their representatives to show the friendship and ecumenical spirit shared by the Catholic and Jewish faiths. The Pope met with his College of Cardinals to discuss the proposal. "Your Holiness," said one of the Cardinals, "Mr. Barak wants to challenge you to a game of golf to show that you are old and unable to compete I am afraid that this would tarnish our image to the world." The Pope thought about this and as he had never held a golf club in his life asked, "Don't we have a Cardinal to represent me?" None that plays golf very well," a Cardinal replied. "But," he added, "there is a man named Jack Nicklaus, an American golfer who is a devout Catholic. We can offer to make him a Cardinal, then ask him to play Mr. Barak as your personal representative. In addition to showing our spirit of cooperation, we'll also win the match." Everyone agreed it was a great idea. The call was made. Of course, Nicklaus was honored and agreed to play as a representative of the Pope. The day after the match, Nicklaus reported to the Vatican to inform the Pope of the result. "I have some good news and some bad news, Your Holiness," said the golfer. "Tell me the good news, Cardinal Nicklaus," said the Pope. "Well, Your Holiness, I don't like to brag, but even though I've played some pretty terrific rounds of golf in my life, this was the best I have ever played, by far. I must have been inspired from above. My drives were long and true, my irons were accurate and purposeful, and my putting was perfect. With all due respect, my play was truly miraculous." "How can there be bad news?" the Pope asked. Nicklaus sighed, "I lost to Rabbi Tiger Woods by three strokes." Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  5. Two more reasons to visit Perris. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  6. Totally ambivalent on this one. A driver's license is a privilege, not a right. Don't want to comply with the requirements, you don't get the privilege. But... if a guy goes in with a full face beard, do they (should they) require him to shave it? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  7. "Hey, baby, wanna see how a sub-atomic particle accelerator works?" Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  8. And he's looking her right in the "eyes", too! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  9. Mahalo! Without this link, we'd have never known about THIS and its possible implications for a better jumpsuit! Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  10. Religion is the essential myth of mankind.
  11. I'm confused, is getting- or, preferably, giving-a-facial considered extreme? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  12. How about a heart which we can affix to our posts to show the love and care we feel toward our fellow skydiver...I'm sorry, I tried to say that with a straight face, but I just couldn't do it. Not real sure when I would use the coffee mug, little bug, or newspaper. Also, not sure of the value added for or the difference between and . Need something to indicate saying something tongue in cheek, possible like the opening of this post. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  13. Did my 1,000th last weekend, too. Got to the DZ and the King Air was down. Students and tandems ruled the day. I got a solo from 5500 feet. Big thrill was doing three 360 degrees rolls, one around each axis. It was even on a demo canopy as mine is still being relined. Could life get any better? Yeah, probably. Congrats, Steve. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
  14. Looks like Miss Heather is expecting an assassination attempt. Looks like she's wearing Victoria's Secrets' VX-46. flyhi
  15. Hope to get to Deland once this weekend. I think everyone here agrees, nothing beats Kold, Phree beer. flyhi
  16. Trust me, no you don't. Anyone who has ever posted in the Canopy Control and Swoop forum doesn't want to be that. And who did we say was Right-wing, Fascist Group Spelling Nazi #1? flyhi

    Running Shoes???

    I have had good luck with Road Runner Sports. They even have some geeked up site where their dog helps you pick out the right shoe for you. (You have to pick out the left one yourself.) You can find it Here. Hope it helps your pronating or supinating ways. flyhi
  18. I want to go quietly in my sleep, like my Grandfather. Not kicking and screaming like the other passengers in his car. flyhi
  19. "Once had a woman tell me she could do anything a man could do. I asked if she could write her name in the snow. She said yeah. Her name was Dot." Unknown Comedian. Not my joke. flyhi
  20. "A nice tight group of free flyers". You guys slay me. That's like saying, "bagpipe music", ""plastic silverware", or "benevolent lawyers". Nice pics. Congrats, superstar. flyhi
  21. The answer is obvious, but due to my self-imposed restriction of never posting twice to the same thread, I am prohibited. "So, son, you're going to become a philosophy major. Hope the big philosophy firms are hiring when you graduate." flyhi
  22. Parachutist (the font of all abridged knowledge) had an article about this a few years back. I believe they suggested cutting away a side-by-side arrangement and flying the bigger of the two in a biplane. flyhi
  23. If you see a topless chick diving off the bar, tell em I said hi. If you don't, you're probably not at the Lost Prairie Boogie. Enjoy. flyhi
  24. The ones in the petting zoo are fun, too! flyhi
  25. Train, tube, or flower out of the Skyvan. Your choice. flyhi
