    at least a packer won't end a question with "..." then again, most packers can't operate flush toilets, let alone a computer. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    you may want to check with Mr. Sherman on that. i've never met the guy, but the last thing i would want(if i were in his shoes) is the public perception that my company didn't give a shit. i would really hate if my company came across as insulting the intelligence of skydivers. that is just what works for me. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    so, have there been any incidents where line dump/bag strip of a reserve with a safety stow freebag was the cause? in sport skydiving? i'm just not a big fan of changing freebag design just because it works on tanks at 250 MPH. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    until now, i have only recieved a few PMs and some references to unnamed engineers that are speedbag supporters. this is as close to support as i believe i will get. on a side note, every single PM, and even Bill Booth's reply seems to allude to high-speed, high-load military applications. i still don't have enough information to understand why the change in design was deemed necessary or advantageous for sport rigs. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    how can you tell your friend femured in? a packer is rifling through his gearbag looking for jump tickets and sunglasses. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    so, a packer gets pulled over. in the car is an unopened case of beer. the cop immediately arrests the packer for petty theft. because even hick-town keystone cops know packers don't BUY beer. before the cop can return the case of beer to the dropzone, he notices the dead hooker in the trunk, that's when he realizes packers don't OWN cars, and adds grand theft auto to the charges. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    that is the best advice for this particular situation. do not forget the general lesson, it doesn't matter who is right, what matters is: how can i (watch the game, go to the dropzone, play poker with the gang...). it is easiest to accomplish a personal goal when your teammate thinks you are behind them all the way. keep it in the skin pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    how can you tell you have become too lazy to masturbate? you're fucking a packer. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    HANDSES, OR NOTHING AT ALL! although to be fair, you should have given us three guesses. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    what did the packer say when she ran out of drugs? god, this music SUCKS! pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    what's the difference between a packer and a catfish? one is a scum-sucking bottom dweller, and the other's a fish. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    not necessarily, lucky will also do, and it hurts less. how can you tell a packer borrowed your car? there's a dead hooker in the trunk. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    what's the difference between a packer and a hooker? hookers take showers. what's the first thing a packer does when he wakes up? removes the ball-gag. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    good point, i have noticed that through the millenia, only the most superior of our species host shit-offs. you are still not trying to get this poor girl the name of the man she will be filing a paternity suit on. i think she should seriously consider that samurai 136 guy. he probably never shows people pictures of his shit, but he seems booklearnt anyway. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    oddly enough, with an "exceedingly *dry* sense of humor" it can be both. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    golly, sorry for trying to play with all you nice, caring , vibe-senders. i didn't realize personal style wasn't allowed on dz.com. here's another observation walt: you are currently percieved as ridiculously cliquish by at least one person. oddly enough, anyone who comes to your defense will only make you seem more so. you guys really should stop hijacking this thread, and help this poor girl find her next ex-boyfriend. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    you aren't doing him a favor by pointing that out. i've observed that post whores are not capable of detecting humor. maybe i should have just thrown out a picture of my last shit, yeah, then i'd be cool. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    more accurately described as observation than confession. in response to your second question, i am a little bitter, but not because something like that has happened to me. i hope my honesty in answering your questions hasn't somehow killed your lovely European arrogance, i can never get enough of that stuff. it's why i started skydiving! pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    why are you setting such high standards for a boyfriend when everyone with more than a year in the sport knows you will be riding his best friend like a pogo-stick two weeks after you meet this knight in shining armour that you have envisioned? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    why would someone need live tests when there is a static line involved in the deployment? this is where i start to get confused. if this was a test jump to get TSO approval for a canopy, wouldn't a TSO'd safety stow freebag have done the trick? if it was a test jump to get TSO approval for an h/c using a speedbag then luck wouldn't be a factor. the speedbag would need to be used in the test jump. so, what were you test jumping? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    i could make a claim that typeVII webbing is manufactured from sugar cane, by magical and playful giggling pixies. the fact that i don't make that claim is well within my control. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
