  1. I dunno if THIS counts as a definition I got nuthin
  2. Can you surf the .com at work? I live in fear of the day when the 'websense' message comes up as I'm trying to get my skydiving fix from work. It's bad enough that there's all these threads with links to youtube that everybody's talking about but I can't see. If I couldn't even hit dropzone.com I think I'd start checking the want ads (although I'd definitely be more productive) I got nuthin
  3. Wipe it down with TP and pop a squat I got nuthin

    I've got that one on my hard drive, it's...ummmmm....different. I got nuthin

    Foo Fighters

    The Foo is pretty tight with Jack Black. Jack Black/Tenacious D are in a few Foo videos, and if I'm not mistaken Grohl occasionally plays drums for Tenacious D. Another awesome thing about these guys, they've got a helluva sense of humor and don't take themselves too seriously I got nuthin

    Amen to that brother! [roger fires up Itunes to crank a little Gallow's Pole] I got nuthin
  7. Dude I don't mean this to come across as offensive, but with that attitude what'll slow you down is probably going to be getting some respect for the ground beaten into you. It's a shitty way to learn, but that's what it took for me Anyway good luck, take it slow with canopy progression...Rushing it hurts I got nuthin

    Foo Fighters

    Funny I guess, but if you break it down there's only two path's out of the 'grunge' way of life. Grohl took the path of maturing, and luckily evolved into an even better all-around musician. Cobain took another way. I dunno about mainstream rock, maybe I should've said 'mainstream music'...As far as rock goes, Joe Satriani finished up his set in Mexico City about an hour ago and I'm gonna be kicking myself for a while that I didn't spend $200 for a plane ticket and tell my boss that I'll be out till tomorrow. I got nuthin

    Foo Fighters

    IMHO, in a time when there's WAY too much fabricated teeny-bopper boy-band shite out there, the Foo is one of if not the only popular mainstream bands that actually rocks. And fuck do they rock! Any comments? I got nuthin
  10. I didn't bother going past page 1, but the best I saw had to be: That's the analogy of the millennium. I gots to buy me some Gold Bond I got nuthin
  11. I've been on the road for about 3 months and I've got two big bags packed to the nuts. 100lbs give or take between the two. That's my skydiving gear and clothes that'll work for a corporate office or swinging pipe wrenches in the mud, sweating my ass off beside the Amazon or freezing my balls off in Bogotá (Bogota's over 8000'MSL, it sucks sitting in the back of the doorless Caravan at 7am leaving El Dorado). Anyways, traveling heavy is a pain in the ass I got nuthin
  12. Yeah, I know you said not to post this but it was only a matter of time before somebody didRELAX!!! You got some very good advice from posters above and one thing to add is to keep your head up and follow the plane after exit. After you've got a nice stable launch from the techniques explained above, arch and relax and feel the wind. Feeling how the wind flows around your body will help develop the skills you need to control your body by manipulating the flow of the wind around it... And if you're swimming, you're not relaxed I got nuthin
  13. I think Her Hottness was on vacation. What color does a greenie become when they're on vacation? I got nuthin
  14. Did they mis-translate 'burn in'? I got nuthin
  15. Once you know how to pack, you can just stuff your shit into your gear bag after the last jump Sunday and get straight on to saying goodbyes, having one last beer with everybody before going back to the real world, whatever. That way it's less work on Sunday, and you can pack during the week which will give you something skydiving-related to do before going back to the DZ. I always figured that if I wasted 10 minutes of my time packing on Sunday evening and then died in a wreck on the way home, that 10 minutes would've been wasted on a pack job I wouldn't get to use I got nuthin
  16. I didn't say I was offended, it just seemed kinda funny in a wrong sorta way I got nuthin
  17. This add was on a translation site that I was using today. Doesn't seem too PC to me I got nuthin
  18. Leave it to somebody from Michigan to turn this into a gay thread. Where did I say anything about it being gender specific ? Does that mean you just generally grope for the groinal region and hope for the best? I got nuthin
  19. Take a day next weekend and go hang out at the DZ. Watch some more people skydive and talk to skydivers. I started when I was 18 and a starving college student, I had to pack a LOT of parachutes to get my first 100 jumps in but it was so worth it I got nuthin
  20. Recently I've done a lot of jumps in planes that don't have doors. A few weeks ago 7 of us were crammed into a U-206 without a door OR seatbelts. I got myself wedged into the doorframe as well as I could and just held on like a motherfucker till 1500'. The whole time I was mentally telling the pilot 'All left turns, no right turns, all left turns' I got nuthin
  21. Yup...some of us will do it for free. How you doing??? I was replying to his quote from Office Space. The next line is 'Well, the kinda chicks who'll double up on a dude like me will' I got nuthin
  22. 'Not all women will do that kinda thing for money you know' I got nuthin
  23. I had a sticker on my snowboard that said 'Smoke a Fatty for Rebagliati'. I loved that sticker, but then I became an instructor and the manager of the school made me get rid of it. I guess it was kinda unprofessional. I got nuthin
  24. Aircraft type is a huge factor at Cessna DZs. Most C-206 don't fly worth a shit above about 7K. A Cessna will get you to 13K, but it's not really worth it if you're going 100fpm for the last 3000ft. I got nuthin
