Damn it! There were only 100 posts made since I last checked the forum! That's only 30 MINUTES OF MY DAY KILLED folks! I've got 8 hours at work to fill!!!

Eek! Geek-speak!! While I personally use computers only for Internet and word processing, I find geekiness kind of hot... That really, really intense focus they have when they're fucking with computers kind of makes you wonder what other activities they could apply that focus to, you know? It's erotic.

Har har. I have a sense of humor about it. One of the funniest bumper stickers I've ever seen: "I love animals. They taste great!"

Hey Sis -- e-mail me about this. There's a guy out there who teaches canopy control, but not through the school. I'm going to do it this spring when it gets warmer.

Oh shit, really? I'm never getting mine, then.

It's made from ground chick peas and fried. Really good. Try a Greek restaurant. YOU PEOPLE APPALL ME! No just kidding. I'm a vegetarian, though, and the thought of eating a huge chunk of red flesh right before skydiving makes me ill. It is important to eat SOMETHING, though...I was nervous about my last recurrency jump recently and didn't eat anything beforehand, and hadn't really eaten the day before, either. I realized under canopy that I was hypoglycemic, which in me manifests as disorientation and crying jags. So there I was, trying to set up to land, steering with shaking hands. That scared the living crap out of me. Disorientation and skydiving don't mix. So y'all eat those steaks while you can! Foot and mouth disease will get them all eventually anyway...hee hee. Oh, and I don't mean to make light of F&M disease. It's a horrible thing for all involved, including the animals.

Hee hee... A first-jump student is in the plane at 3000', and won't go. His jumpmaster, anxious to jump, glares at him and yells, "IF YOU DON'T JUMP, I'M GONNA F***K YOU UP THE ASS !!!" The next day, the student's friends ask him if he jumped. He replies, "Yeah...a little at first".

ROTFLMFAO!! Mmm...I don't know if that counts.

Well SCREW YOU TOO buddy!!! I live in Dallas! I work right next to Reunion Arena! I LOVE EDDIE BELFOUR!! Not that I don't have a sense of humor about his not being the sharpest knife in the drawer. Check this out; it's a feature (by my employer, so I'm not criticizing it) that has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a while: http://hockey.dallasnews.com/AskBelfour/AskBelfour22.htm Jess the Bandwagon Hockey Fan (and $#%@#% proud of it!!)

Too true. Say, have you ever traveled in Europe? Europeans generally roll their eyes at Americans, but say you're from Texas, and you're in! Or at least you get a smile instead of a scowl.

I wish I could...I'm moving this weekend. What days are y'all going to be out there?
-
Nice. "Texaggerate" is the saying "Everything's bigger in Texas" because I sadly know from experience that it sometimes is not.
-
Actually, it means a sudden manifestation or perception of the essential meaning of something. But despite not knowing what epiphany means, you DID have a great idea!! I'm in!
-
Ha! I do that every Saturday at my busy dz!
-
Wow, so you jump at SDD? I was there on safety day, but grounded myself because of the high wind. I'll probably come out this weekend, or definitely the next.

You know you're a skydiver when you're at work at your "professional" job and nine million rubber bands fall out of your bag. Or when you're at that same job and everytime you catch a glimpse of blue sky out the window of your SOULLESS OFFICE you mutter very bad expletives. Or on your desk you have photos of your pet, your boyfriend, your rig, and your first tandem. -
I'm so sorry. I read about that just the other day. Just today I'd been wondering where you were. Hope you're doing okay. Jess

Oh hell, that was me! Jessica! Don't know why it posted anonymous...I was logged in and stuff...

The only time in my life I've ever thought "I'm about to die" was on a skydive. It was a hop n pop from 3800 on student gear that was way too big for me. I tumbled on exit, leveled out, went for the ripcord...and couldn't get it out of the housing. Hard pull from hell. Tried once, tried twice (tried three times, I admit it...I couldn't BELIEVE that bitch wasn't coming out) then went for my reserve...and couldn't find it. The harness was so big on me that my handles had shifted way, way up... Anyway, as I'm fumbling for the reserve handle, I start thinking, "If I don't find this handle NOW, I'm about to fucking die." The ground was huge. Then I found it, and yanked it, and had a canopy out just under 1000 AGL. Interestingly, the fact that I had an AAD never occured to me. (Luckily, I think, on this jump!) This was No. 15. But hell...I came back...worked through it. Maybe I LIKED it.

The Beverly Hillbillies are NOT FROM TEXAS!!! Jeezus! You know, HILLbillies? As in the Ozarks? As in ARKANSAS?! I hate it when people think the Beverly Hillbillies are from Texas... Nor are the Dukes of Hazzard, btw!
-
Yeah, me either. Tevas and "trainers" all the way. (Texans are so cosmopolitan...I can interject erroneous British words for humorous effect)
-
Bah...that would be funnier if Texas actually bordered Calif.
