  1. Television is a consumer product. If no one watched crap like this, it wouldn't run. Skydiving is for cool people only
  2. You'll notice a huge difference between the two canopies. That's losing 40 square feet of fabric in one step. Can't you try a 170 for a while? I jumped a 170 for the first part of my jump career, and recently switched to a 150. It's definitely faster, and that was only losing 20 square feet. Being scared under canopy is no fun. Take it slow! Skydiving is for cool people only

    Well, no reason not to start at the top, but if you get no love there, I'm sure there are a dozen community newspapers who would be very happy to hear from you. Skydiving is for cool people only

    Hee hee. Contact your local paper and ask to do guest op/ed pieces. They're usually happy for the copy. Skydiving is for cool people only
  5. I really hate the idea of this, because it riles up my feminist sensibilities. It's designed to make women look like stupid, gold-digging idiots, and that pisses me off. On the other hand, I guess these women are getting what they deserve. I'm just annoyed at the deliberate negative portrayal of a gender. Skydiving is for cool people only
  6. Criminy. I'd say the skydiving community deserves some answers, and now. Skydiving is for cool people only
  7. An "urban" one. Skydiving is for cool people only
  8. Well, not any more than usual. I was just fishing for him to say, "No you don't! You look fabulous!" Skydiving is for cool people only
  9. ...when you say to your friend at work, "This outfit makes me look like a whore!" and he doesn't contradict you. Skydiving is for cool people only

    Jump Numbers

    Awwwwwwwwww...you're my special boy! I made 100 this year. Not too awful for working every weekend. I made a quarter of those at WFFC. Next year, I plan to triple that! Hot damn! Skydiving is for cool people only
  11. I did straight, seven-level AFF. After observing the sport for more than two years, I think that tandem progression is by far the best way to go, along with following USPA's Integrated Student Program all the way through. Skydiving is for cool people only
  12. I got a response from the TSA -- a bullshit, form-letter response. It's obvious that a human didn't even read my e-mail. Skydiving is for cool people only

    dating SUCKS

    Didn't you just break up with someone?! You don't need a boyfriend! My God! Your mission right now is to leave a trail of broken hearts in your wake! Skydiving is for cool people only
  14. Sorry, guys. I was safely here in Texas the whole time! Skydiving is for cool people only
  15. The $75 was actually mine, and I just sent for a claim form.
  16. Not till I'm good and drunk! Should be around 4 p.m. Skydiving is for cool people only
  17. I will be making loud smoochy sounds into a cell phone. Skydiving is for cool people only
  18. What an odd thing to say. Are you suggesting Michele has a financial interest in this site? I really doubt it. I'd forgotten I had $75 coming to me from UTD. That's a 9-year-old deposit I made there. I appreciate being reminded about it. Skydiving is for cool people only
  19. Looks like you and I suspect the same person!! Skydiving is for cool people only
  20. I sent this to the tsa: Hello, I am a skydiver, and often carry on my sport parachute rig when I travel. I dislike checking it because of the potential for damage or loss; insurance to cover the entire value (around $3,000) is very expensive. The rig is equipped with an automatic opening device, which will deploy my reserve parachute if I am unconcious or incapacitated. The device does NOT contain compressed gas, and is maintained by an FAA-certified parachute rigger, verifiable by a data card carried in the rig. The brand name is Cypres, and it has been classified as non-dangerous by the Department of Transportation. The last time I flew, out of CMH, I was forced by TSA screeners to check my skydiving equipment. The reason given was that I might try to hijack the plane then escape. I found that logic patently ridiculous. There are tens of thousands of sport parachutists in this country who carry on their rigs all the time. I have, myself, a dozen times before this incident. Please give me some guidelines on how to facilitate carrying on my equipment. Any letters, documents, or other materials would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Me Skydiving is for cool people only

    HH is wearing a freefly suit. All my fantasies are dashed. Skydiving is for cool people only
  22. Here it is! I ran this pic in my paper, too. Skydiving is for cool people only
  23. Is having ice-skating rinks in malls normal? Half the malls in Dallas have them. I was informed last night that not only was this strange and weird, it was also a very 80s thing to do. I guess the fact that I took lessons in the Galleria makes me uncool. Skydiving is for cool people only
  24. I know! Skydiving is for cool people only
  25. Hee hee.... "Ow, hey, cut it out! What are you doing! That hurts!" Skydiving is for cool people only
