  1. I have updated my profile, and thanks for the heads-up. My apologies for the short fuse on this end. We all have bad days - especially Mondays. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  2. Knee-jerk response removed. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  3. There is some French dude who was supposed to try it, but it seems to have not panned out. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  4. I've always asked lots of questions. When I was 5, I asked someone how many fish are in the ocean. As it turned out, I am pretty smart today, as I got lots of answers that I wouldn't have if I would have kept quiet. I can't wait to see the look on my instructors faces when I hit them up with a few the have never heard. It WILL happen....

  5. Ok, now this helps. So, if my main is out, and the cypress fires, I have a two out? I was thinking it would cut-away the main automatically. Wow, that seems much less frightening. And I understand what you mean about the air speed. Also (and this is pure ignorant speculation) landing with two out, one of which is a student canopy, might not be tragic. (?)

  6. I will, thanks. I just brought it up here because, you know, it's Sunday night.... Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  7. Pardon me if I'm a bit of a control freak concerning issues that may determine my living or dying. I am doing the FJC Saturday, and I never did a tandem - nor do I want to. I wonder how many AADs are in service worldwide? That would give you a pretty good idea of reliability. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  8. Actual stats showing this to be true would make me feel much better about the issue. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  9. Here's the thing - If I screw up badly, or have a freakish mal and go in, well, that's how it goes. But in my mind I can see myself under a good canopy, happily floating along, and then WHAM, cypress fires low. For the next few seconds I would be extremely pissed. It's probably a stupid fear, and I'm sure as soon as I exit the plane I will never think about it. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  10. There have been misfires, right? Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  11. As a student on IAD, what is going to knock me out? Unless I hit a bird, I think I'm pretty much golden. Also, I can control things that might knock me out, but I can't control that AAD. zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  12. OK, first off I am just starting out in the sport. The thing is, as I near my first jump I keep getting an image in my mind of the AAD firing for no good reason at 150 ft. AGL. I just HATE introducing a machine that I cannot control into the formula that saves my life every jump. Is this an unreasonable fear? I guess I'd just rather rely totally on myself than on a machine. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  13. 10/10 Now, 12th grade math??? Might be a different story for me...... Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  14. Also, it sometimes affects your partner's ability to walk properly for several days. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  15. Oh, I've heard that before. Prices are not currently based on reality, as supply is actually good. Our gasoline reserves are up over last year in the USA. Current prices are not tied to supply and demand, but rather on the futures markets and speculation. Want proof? Look at the mild winter and then look at heating oil prices. NUTS. Prices will drop one reality enters the equation. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  16. Nah. His penis is tiny relative to his big fat gut. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  17. He may have made it up, but I'm fairly certain I saw that in a 'film' a while back. The logistics of the act were not simple. Ok...so now everyone knows I watch porn.... Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  18. That's what I get for trying to help. That figures. Everything always blows up in my face lately. Damn, my life is shit...... I really feel like crying.... OK...pity me again yet? Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  19. First of all you are using the word 'poontang' incorrectly. Poontang does not refer to a female body part, but rather a byproduct of that body part. But to answer your question, go for the pooper. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  20. On the flip side, what if you have a massive schlong, and when you put it in it's like screwing a glass of warm water? What's the politically correct thing to say? Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  21. Try telling her the truth, followed up by some pity sex. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  22. No freakin' way! She has never even been inside an airplane. Also, my mere desire to jump nearly landed us in divorce court. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  23. So, if fuel prices take a nose dive, will jump tickets do the same? Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  24. poor baby! come here, i will pet you! I think I just realized why pride can be such a negatvie trait. From now on, call me 'Mr. Pathetic'. Zipp0 -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
  25. What about 'never asked for, never gave'? And does an ex-girlfriend asking if we could get together only for sex count as pity sex? By the way, to all the ladies giving out the pity sex, I feel like a big loser lately, and really just need to be close to someone.......to feel like I'm needed.....
