Watch out for that Mir thing!!! (or has it already landed?). Enjoy!!! /s [drop till you party!]

Only you, Sis, only you... /s [drop till you party!]

Hi guys/gals Let me start this post by saying that I am only on 33 jumps (from a plane that is) and my interest in base is purely as a spectator (at this stage anyway). What I would like to hear from you, is your opinions on what the minimum requirements are before somebody should attempt base. I know there are no fixed rules/criteria, but would like to get some feedback/opinions from any base jumpers out there. Also, what would you say the minimum requirement should be for somebody to jump at bridge day (and is there such a requirement presently)? I look forward to hearing from the aces of bases. /s [drop till you party!]

lol Excuse the pun...

Try posting your question to the 'Gear and Rigging' forum. There's lots of knowledgeable guys there who will be able to help you. /s [drop till you party!]

I think that is why the idea of just getting the basic T shirt is better (with just the logo and motto). People can then customize their T's how they like, that way everybody's T's can look different. Just remember Froggy : You're unique, just like everybody else...

Hey Sangiro, do those models come with the T's? In that case put me down for 2 of each!!!

Don't think that would be such a good idea Froggy. It would look a bit cheesy and like some high school gradutation top with all the kids names on it and 'Friends Forever' at the top. Nope, I want something cool and classy. /s [drop till you party!]

OK, not being able to jump because it is winter is rather crap. What I want to know is how did those of you who have been grounded because of injuries, sickness, pregnancy etc. cope? I can just imagine how horrible a Saturday with beautiful blue skies would then be. Please share your pain. (an expression I recently heard : pain shared is pain halved ) /s [drop till you party!]

[homer simpson] Hmmmm, fooooood.... *drool* [/homer simpson] /s [drop till you party!]

I think you mean a bidet. Americans... *sigh* Here's one that might *tickle your fancy* Greg.

Sweet, me too! /s [drop till you party!]

Lummy You do realize that if your beanie ever reads this ng, then you are well and truly f@cked, my fine friend.

Fastfaller maybe? /s [drop till you party!]

Congrats dude! Now are you going to change the first part of your handle???

I like Sis's idea about maybe doing the Vegas blitz around October, unfortunately halloween is on a Wednesday, because that would have been fun. /s [drop till you party!]

hahahahaha Nice one, Ed! Patience, young Skywalker, patience... /s [drop till you party!]

Grasshopper - I disagree! Everybody knows that AFF level 1 is by FAR the hardest one to make. So, since ColdDuck obviously passed that to get to level 2, I would say that he/she has already met the greatest challenge and things can only get better from here on!

The life of a geek : 1.You try to enter your password on the microwave. 2.You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. 3.You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three. 4.You e-mail your buddy who works at the desk next to you. 5.Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they do not have e-mail addresses. 6.When you go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner. 7.When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally insert a "9" to get an outside line. 8.You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies. 9.Your company's welcome sign is attached with Velcro. 10.Your resume is on a diskette in your pocket or saved on your Hotmail account. 11. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news. 12. Your biggest loss from a system crash was when you lost all of your best jokes. 13. Your supervisor doesn't have the ability to do your job. 14. Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards. 15. Board members salaries are higher than all the Third World countries annual budgets combined. 16. Interviewees, despite not having the relevant knowledge or experience, terminate the interview when told of the starting salary. 17. Free food left over from meetings is your staple diet. 18. Your supervisor gets a brand-new state-of-the-art laptop with all the latest features, while you have time to go for lunch while yours boots up. 19. Being sick is defined as you can't walk or you're in hospital. 20. There's no money in the budget for the five permanent staff your department desperately needs, but they can afford four full-time management consultants advising your boss's boss on strategy. 21. Your relatives and family describe your job as "works with computers". How to tell if YOU are a geek : 22. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling. 23. As you read this list, you thought about forwarding it to your "friends" 24. It crosses your mind that your jokes group may have seen this list already, but you don't have time to check so you forward it anyway. 25. You read this list on a newsgroup, where you have lots of good friends, almost none of whom you have met. Got emailed this list this morning and just thought I had to share it with you guys - true, all true. /s [drop till you party!]

Excellent idea, Barrett! How about the dropzone.com logo on the front, with Sangiro's (now legendary) quote on the front then we could put our names on the back if we like (we like, we like!!!). I mean the best part about this ng is that it IS moderated (although not intrusively at all), which makes it waaaaaay superior to rec.skydiving IMHO. /s [drop till you party!]

skyhawk, that joke was a bit in bad taste (and I am not kidding now). Don't do it again or I will really use my sjambok on you... /s [drop till you party!]

Hey Mike Since when did a South Africa need conclusive proof before they could persecute somebody/anybody??? Hell, I'll give skyhawk the old sjambok treatment just for riding his bicycle without a torch - IN THE DAY-TIME... [evil grin] /s [drop till you party!]

I already did, dude. Check the 'Music preference' thread, page 7. That's what gave me the idea for starting this one. Now of course it is your turn Doasfu - unless of course you are chicken... /s [drop till you party!]

Nice try skyhawk... lmfao

Please share the most embarrassing incident you have ever been involved in with us. (and no anonymous posting either...) /s [drop till you party!]
