Amen, girlfriend. Air Force? That's where I live now.

Duuude...I scared the hell out of myself one time with the Birks. I was practicing packing, and I walked over the lines, and dragged my foot a little, and a bunch of lines got caught immediately in the buckle on my Birks. A rigger saw it and he and I just looked at each other and he said, "Don't ever wear those to jump." I wear New Balance running shoes, usually...I'm getting some Tevas this summer so I can look cool.

Karen is awesome. She used to be based out of Skydive Dallas and she's very nice and really talented. You can ask around SDD this weekend and I bet you can see a buuuunch of examples of her work. Pretty much all the FFers out there jump her stuff. Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

FRAAAAANK!

I'm setting up the skydiving pages on my Web site, and I want to have some quality links. What pages did you find really helpful as you were learning? I'm talking about everything from the cool minutae, like the beer rules, to practical things, like where to buy gear. Jump stories are good...AFF progression descriptions...things like that. Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

Had this last night...Christmas Eve. So I'm at a dropzone, but there's no plane, no plans for a plane, no one jumping. It's pathetic. So somehow I organize an otter to come, and get it all set up, and before I know it, there are skydivers everywhere, and the load is filled. So...I get on the plane, and it takes off. And I'm wandering around, feeling rather pleased with myself. The interior is set up like a bus, with people sitting two to a seat. Very weird. Anyway, I look at my wrist to see how high we are...and I've totally forgotten my altimeter. SHIT. Then I feel around my neck -- forgot my goggles, too. And for that matter, why don't I have my jumpsuit on? And where the hell is my helmet? I lean over and tell a friend, "I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't jump. I forgot my gear." And my friend looks at me, starts laughing, and says, "Yeah, MAYBE you shouldn't jump, since you don't have a RIG on." Damn! Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

My GOD you're cool. Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

Hooray for Christmas! *punching air like Rocky* Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

Pam, I had live water training at Skydive Dallas. They offer it about twice a year. It was actually very eye-opening and kind of scary, even in a swimming pool. Having all that wet gear on you underwater is disconcerting to say the least. But then we all got drunk poolside and it was all good.

Yes, or there'll be hell to pay!!! Dave, PM me your phone number. In case it's rainy or something on Saturday. Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

What a total butt-brain!!!!!! After all that freaking trouble you went to. Biatch. I would not only buy you a case, but take you on a two-way just so I could have a jump with the guy who saved my gear. And to dinner. Jeez. He sucks. That's not skydiver behavior. Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

I got a "Web site not responding" message. Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

Oh my FUCK that made me laugh so hard...*fumbling for inhaler* I think it's our duty to spread this around the world of e-mail, and perhaps make this photo so famous it ends up on Snopes, like the duct-taped prom boobs, or the really heavy cat. We need a little narrative to go with it before we forward it all over creation, though. Any ideas? Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

SUCK. Bastards. Let's bring the wrath of the entire skydiving community down on them. Good luck, y'all...*I* think you should job-hunt in Texas, and I know a bunch of people who'd agree with me.

Makes me feel warm and fuzzy!

I don't know BUT YOU BETTER FREAKING BE IN DALLAS ON THE 29TH AND NOT IN HOUSTON Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

Say, what a coinkidink. That's a big part of my New Year's resolution! Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

Oh, and how could I forget: The Talkback forum on dropzone.com.

Maybe, but who cares what you think? My friends, I can DRINK some BEER, but a couple of years ago in Boston, not wanting to look like a wuss, I drank straight Guiness the whole time. I don't remember much of Boston. Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

What makes you laugh out loud as you're reading/watching/whatever it? I'm talking guffaws, not chuckles. For me.... Dave Barry Calvin and Hobbes Bloom County The Kids in the Hall Austin Powers (God help me) In fact, pretty much anything Mike Myers does Steve Martin The Onion Beavis & Butthead Hate (the comic book) Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

Mmmmmmmmmmaybe. Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

Now with you, I doubt they'd mind sharing. Now, Wingi, it's not THAT hot here. Plus we have things like...air conditioning...ice cubes...pierced-tongue baths...things like that. Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

I feel a kind of hostility toward TLOTR, because as a kid, I was the kind of reader to whom the word "voracious" does not even begin to do justice...and I coudn't make it through 50 pages of that story. Too...something. Intellectual, obtuse, detailed...I dunno. I saw Vanilla Sky last night, though. Very cool. Psychologically draining. Saw Penelope Cruz's boobs. Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!
