    Seriously? ? Calling him a coward? What the fuck is wrong with people in this thread?
  2. Andy9o8
    Sigh. For Christ's sake, no it isn't. Nor is it a road by death-wishers to certain death. This thread is rife with statements on each extreme of ridiculousness.

    If there was a report button for every time someone called someone else a douchebag in Speakers Corner, the server would explode.

    Thunderbird, ciggies, and smacking their kids upside the face on the bus.

    I'll tell you why. Unlike the Third World, in which the rich are corpulent and the poor are scrawny, here in the West, the poor tend to be the porkers, while the rich are svelte. Of course, I believe in eating the rich, preferably after they've been freshly guillotined. But being skinny, they tend to be tough and stringy, and not well-marbled. And I hate that.

    Now I understand your concern. As said above, with a little edumacation about modern tunnels, you wouldn't have lost credibility. Yeah, what a rat bastard. Never trust anyone with a Klingon name.

    That's like being a snow removal inspector in Ecuador.

    You use glue? Pfft. I use rivets.

    You're alone. My order was delivered faster than a Freefall Suit.

    I take it you don't believe in "Spare the rod and spoil the child". No discipline at school or home has pushed this world into its current sorry state. Let me convey a simple lesson: (don't believe in "Spare the rod and spoil the child") does not equal (No discipline at school or home) I'd add more, but I'm trying to avoid being too snarky.

    I never quite understood why otherwise sensible people sometimes wax almost nostalgic at adults in positions of institutionalized power having used weapons to commit acts of violence against juveniles in schools back when they were kids. Oh, am I being the thread buzz kill? Sorry. Carry on.

    You live in America, Jerry - you can be any kind of god you want. As long as it's Christian.

    The Koch bros & the WSJ- guaranteed to champion the cause of the common man. You must be a millionaire if you think they're on your side, big guy. Here's a hint- they get suckers to do their p.r for them.

    Agreed, very country-dependent. In the US: you're correct- it's a skydive, so the BASE gear must be supplemented by a reserve; if it is, jumping the gear is probably legal; if it's not, the jump is probably illegal.

    Maybe so, but your haircut just doesn't compare.

    Here's a hint- the focus of the OP is what He would have done. Opine on that and the thread is on track.

    It's true that there are some really hot chicks at the DZ. How many jumps do you have to accumulate to get cool enough that they want to go to bed with you? Are Gold Wings a chick magnet? That might give me a goal to shoot for... You'll shoot for anything, won't you?

    You mean like Obamacare? I don't think it matters what the motivation is. Or are you OK with, "Yeah, I'm fucked over, but at least he meant well."? In that case, your post is not responsive to Bill's specific point, it's just the repetition of a canned talking point to get a canned bash in at Obama when the thread is about Christie.
  20. Andy9o8
    Seems to be.

    On a bright note, "Blue Skies" is left unmolested.

    W/a reserve ripcord there's also the principle of maximizing simplicity when the shit's really hittin' the fan: just pull, rather than pull & toss. (Plus, an inboard handle on the MLW is easy(er) to reach w/either hand if 1 arm is disabled.)

    Why did you plagiarize Jedi's website? Or is it the suit you've plagiarized? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4616188#4616188

    Then by your OP, that means you now have exactly 100 jumps!. So go back and update your profile. Then buy us all beer. Then go down to the store, buy a coconut cream pie, take it home, unwrap it, and smash it into your face. Post pic here.

    When I got started Back In The Day (1970s), one of my earliest DZs was Frontier Skydivers, now in Newfane, near Wilson (outskirts of Buffalo-Niagara Falls area). Terrific DZ, wonderful people, salt of the earth. It's a testament that while none of the other several DZs in Upstate NY that existed back then still exist today, Frontier is still there, and some of the people who jumped there back then still jump there today (some of whom post here!).
