  1. I work on a lot of older electronics, most of which was invented long before surface mount technology was reliable for high temp hostile environments. Now that all of our new stuff is surface mount and I've got components handy, I'm trying to find some crossover mounts that have radial leads and 1206 mounting platforms, so I can ditch the old radial lead resistors that require frequent changing for calibrations, and hopefully stop people who don't know how to solder from destroying boards by trying to rip out radial leads. I imagine there's something like this out there, but Google didn't help and I thought somebody on here might know. I got nuthin
  2. I've never seen that one...Why'd Quaigmaire get fired? F%^Kin hilarious I got nuthin
  3. It looks like the little-known Johnson nerve. Unfortunately for him, now every time he masturbates he'll shite himself I got nuthin
  4. The sunset X-country. It's a religion at a few DZs I've been privilaged enough to call home. Last load of the day, hop-n-pop from the top and sit back, watch the sun go down while enjoying a soda and maybe partaking in a little non-contact CReW. And fly it on home... Just remember to take some gum. Bad spots aren't totally uncommon, and the last thing you want is to hitch-hike home with an open parachute and the smell of soda I got nuthin

  6. [disclaimer]I didn't know either of those guys and I'm not saying this with any emotion or reference to the specific accident, which was tragic[/disclaimer] We all fuck up. If somebody stops deserving respect because they fucked up then I don't think I know a respectable person. It just seems a pretty strong choice of words...Of course we need to look at past mistakes and learn from them, but saying that he doesn't deserve respect is pretty harsh....Wow, this is deep for the Bonfire.

  7. How much lube can you use in 35 seconds??? I got nuthin
  8. I once saw a guy take a swig from a beer bottle that another guy was using for dispensing of his chewing tobacco. He turned green and ran to the bathroom. I've unknowingly drank my own cigarrette butts a few times, but never more than one sip...After that it was totally knowingly I got nuthin

  10. There's this magician doing a show and he says 'For my next trick I'll need a volunteer'. So this guy comes up on stage and the magician tells him to take a hammer and hit him in the temple as hard as he can--- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...10 Years later, the magician snaps out of his coma, jumps up in his hospital bed and screams 'TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' I got nuthin

    Practical Joke

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I got nuthin
  17. When I was busted up I had two Eagle Flight Skydiving beer coozies connected to my crutches with pull-up cords. They were great for carrying keys, beers, cell phone, beers.... I had them for a while before I thought it might not be the best advertising. You should get one of those shirts from Target that says 'I do all my own stunts'. It's always good for a laugh while hobbling around. I got nuthin
  18. Books and video aren't going to hurt, but as has been said, your best bet is just to get to the DZ and hook up with somebody who's willing to teach you (this will be easier if you show up with alcohol) When you start asking, you're going to be shown a lot of different techniques, of which all are probably good, it's just that different people have different ways of doing things. Once you find the way that works best for you, stick with it and practice. Good luck. I got nuthin
  19. Seems cheap cunt is more fitting don't it? I got nuthin
  20. Somebody in my FJC: What happens if the reserve doesn't open. FJC instructor: Then you take your helmet off and stand in it, it makes it easier to clean up the mess I got nuthin
  21. Would that by chance be the same green machine that's flying at Skydive Acadiana in Lousisiana? It's got a little leprachaun on the tail? I got nuthin
  22. SCHWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got nuthin
  23. I remember once when I was working as a packer there for Jim I was disconnecting a main from a student Jav that was going in for repack to attach it to another. I disconnected the RSL and I cut away, then went to separate the risers from the ring. The NON-RSL side didn't separate because the reserve ripcord cable was through the double loop twice and the cutaway cable didn't go through at all. I'd like to think that it would be caught before anybody got on a plane, but that could of turned out nasty. 'Too many moving parts'...Well said Rob I got nuthin
  24. I'd think it more important that their first instinct is to get nylon over their head. But that's just more fuel for the debate of how stupid can the students really be... I got nuthin
