Umm.. I'm thinking Dali Lama? t It's the year of the Pig.

Q. Favorite place to exit from the plane? A. Altitude. t It's the year of the Pig.

Um... Is there something in the rules about not using some words in the English language? And I'm not a moderator HERE.. I'm just chilling by the fire.. The primary purpose of any language is to communicate. With all the potential for misunderstanding that exists online - I try to relate to people in terms they can understand. Sure you can hit on me. But I'm taken.

Dude. You're 23. Who the fuck needs balance? Most people don't keep skydiving. Maybe a year, maybe 5 years. The circle is small here, but there are less than 10 people in my country who are active and have been skydiving longer than I have. Relationships come and go. Skydiving - if it's for you - will last a lifetime. Ask a few 40 year olds who were jumping at your age(23) if they're still with the woman there were with then. I don't think you'll find many positive answers. Married at 23... now there's a concept... t Edit to add - I don't date a whuffo - so I don't follow my own advice on this front. It's the year of the Pig.

I'm with you on that. t It's the year of the Pig.

Easy for you to say with 44 jumps in 2 years. Who would I make time for both (If my SO were a whuffo) doing 900 dives in 2 years, weekends only? t It's the year of the Pig.

My riggers charge $145 to make up and fit the lineset, and do it over night. They've relined a Stilleto 107 and a Safire 119 for me. t It's the year of the Pig.

A popular bar had a new robotic bartender installed. It could not only dispense drinks flawlessly, but also, like any bartender, engage in appropriate conversation. A man enters the bar, orders a drink. The robot serves him a perfectly prepared cocktail, then asks him: "What's your IQ?" The man replies, "150." And the robot proceeds to make conversation about Quantum physics, string theory, atomic chemistry, etc. The customer is very impressed and thinks, "This is really cool." He decides to test the robot. He walks out of the bar, turns around, and comes back in for another drink. Again, the robot serves him the drink and asks him, "What's your IQ?" The man responds, "100." And immediately the robot starts talking, but this time, about football, NASCAR, baseball, supermodels, etc. Really impressed, the man leaves the bar and decides to give the robot one more test. He goes back in, the robot serves him, asks, "What's your IQ?" The man replies, "50." And the robot says, "So, you gonna vote for Bush again?" It's the year of the Pig.

Well.. that's not true. The Spanish destroyed countless civilisations in South America, and the British and later US expansion into North America and pursuit of manifest destiny destroyed over 500 "nations" of native Americans. That worked. Those people will never again pose a threat to the US, or the UK, or Spain. Those who colonised Africa were less successful, having withdrawn from their colonies over the last 50 years or so, but look at the mayhem that colonial border drawing through "lines on a map" have divided nations and stimulated ethnic murder. Beating people into submission can work for a while. It may even create an ally out of the beaten party. 12 years after Afrikaaner women and children died in their 10's of thousands in British concentration camps, their brothers and fathers were fighting for Britain against the Germans. Of course, this move created a power shift allowing them to beat the native population into submission for nearly a century until 1994 when those beaten parties recieved their freedom. Beating people into submission works, especially considering the term of a US president, but I have no doubt that in 30 years time, we'll be seeing "Deerhunter" type movies about Iraq. t t It's the year of the Pig.

There is. Birdman recomend a BOC deployment system. A pull out is not recomended. t It's the year of the Pig.

Well, the week before Bush's inauguration, a jump from 11000ft cost R145, which at the time was $10.35 at an exchange rate of R14 to the dollar. Now, nearly 4 years later, a jump from 11000ft costs R145. $23.77 at R6.10 to the dollar. Aircraft is a Porter PC-6 and we do 30 loads a day, weekends only, with 8 or 9 on board. In that time I think the Dollar has logged more freefall time than I have. Lets hope the trend continues. If it does, I'll soon be able to buy a wingsuit for the cost of a packjob. t It's the year of the Pig.

I know of Heatwaves that have permanently maimed on opening - within 100 jumps of new - so I don't think it was a trim issue. t It's the year of the Pig.

No, I'm not getting any hate mail. Then again, I don't question how 59 million people could be so dumb either. t It's the year of the Pig.

Which is why I had my posts removed. Women can learn from women. t It's the year of the Pig.

Odd poll. Doesn't belong in incidents. I'm moving it to Safety and training. Please read "Hey! Why'd my post get moved?" t It's the year of the Pig.

That's exactly the way it's going to be. t It's the year of the Pig.

I've never been disapointed. t It's the year of the Pig.

This whole thread sounds like a game of soggy biscut to me. Tuna? You're the winner!

Hi There, I'm not an expert Wingsuit pilot, and have less than 100 wingsuit jumps. I'm using a Safire 119 as my primary canopy for wingsuit and have not used a Safire2 with a wingsuit. I suggest you search the wingsuit forum for your answer, and if it's not forthcoming, post a thread asking the question. Riser pressure is very subjective. I'm a rock climber, so the thought of "heavy riser pressure" has always been a bit of a joke, but it is heavier than a Stilleto. Recovery arc is always in comparison to something else. Its not as fast as my stilleto, but slower than an FX. I've never had line twists on a Safire 2 so I have no idea of how it handles them, but if it's anything like the Safire - I would imagine it handles them very well. Wake turbulence? I tell you what. You fly into someone elses wake and let me know how that goes for you, ok? t It's the year of the Pig.

Actually, if you look carefully, you'll see an axe inside those bundle of sticks. "The root of the word: fascist, is fasces. This is a symbol composed of a bundle of sticks and an axe. The United States Congress is graced with this symbol." More here http://scifiles.no-ip.com/FASCIST.htm t It's the year of the Pig.

Your idea is not new. It gained favour among those in power in Germany in 1933. In addition to those on welfare you metioned, they broadened the scope to cripples, retards and Jews. They refered to it as The FINAL solution. Your choice of words is interesting. t It's the year of the Pig.
