  1. Yes I saw that, not at all insensitive and self centered. It was a worthwhile contribution to that thread. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  2. Why are you still "blogging" about this nonsense? Move on and stop with the attention whore deal! That appears the be the root of your problems, your in ability to know when to give it a rest. Here is your sign, let it go, give it a rest!!! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  3. I remember on year at the Eloy Skydive AZ holiday boogie some girl landed at the prison. It must have been on a balloon jump. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  4. Norm, make sure it has a pocket big enough for your humongous balls! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P

    ewww "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  6. Ask the people who have gotten cracked in the head with a Strong Dual Hawk reserve flap cover after a stable exit into the relative wind how "freefly friendly" a tandem system is! With a student I think it is downright negligent. With experienced jumpers it is putting expensive gear, and expensive personnel assets at risk. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  7. Trunk, your shit Sony customer service experience echos one that I had with them this year. When I purchased my CX760 over the phone I was told that it qualified for 18 months deferred interest financing (0% if PIF in 18 months) but they billed my Sony consumer CC and gave me only 6 months. I still have not been able to get them to stick to their agreement, and their only accommodation has been to return the camera. Their customer service people are horrible, and I am stuck talking to CSRs from an India call center with managers that refuse to get on the phone, Absolutely mind blowing what a fuck up their customer service is. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  8. No doubt. But not unlike comparing your first girlfriend to some hardcore porn star they all suck in varying degrees, across different categories. Delta is the toothless crack head prostitute of customer service! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  9. Will never fly Delta again. They tried to charge me 300 bucks to switch to a flight that had 60% of the seats empty. The CSR manager then told me that airline passengers were unreasonable assholes that want everything for free. Fuck them! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  10. Just to update the thread, in case it comes up in a search down the road. As of the time of my trip there the DZ does not have bunkhouses for visiting jumpers. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  11. I agree, those are great shots! Really nice. Those are a huge motivation to get my camera setup back in order for the next season. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  12. I prefer to get OUT of the planes. "Screw getting on the plane, I want to get IN the plane. Let Evel Knievel get ON the plane" "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  13. Wow, that is pretty fucking stupid! A... some one at the town council wants to piss in TK's cheerios. or B... some one at the town council has a relative who sells and installs chain link security fences. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  14. Done. We have a stupid TSA security fence here at my DZ. Luckily we only take off from the runway that is fenced in with keycard access, but our landing area (although in the fenced area, is open through our "own" gate that we leave open during the day). It really is a lousy waste of money. Short of hundreds of rolls of razor wire, a regular security fence isn't going to do anything! The only time I have seen ours keep someone out it was some poor guy that was looking at a plane he was supposed to by. However many 100K's spent to keep out one poor private pilot. If the city can't be stopped consider lobbying for your own really large opening and gate that you can leave open during business hours. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  15. Anybody in your "everybody" category is a neanderthal if they can't face an opposing opinion without getting violent. I have friends of all political, social, racial, and economic walks of life. I wonder how we resit beating the shit out of each other on a daily basis, despite being so far apart of many issues? The world may never know! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  16. Unions could negotiate contracts for union members only. Of course non union members could price them out of the labor market. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  17. Hopefully some people get arrested for assault. I tend to view not punching other human beings in the face as a bipartisan issue. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  18. From reading the news article it sounds like a portion of ZHills operation would be inside the fence, and a portion of the operation would be outside the fence. One of the things I liked about ZHills was the open feel to the facility. I doubt it would have nearly the same feeling if it was ringed by a fence! As a whole they suck, they isolate and airport, and shut off the businesses from the rest of the area. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  19. We have one of those shiny TSA fences at our airport, complete with automated gates and keycard readers. What a waste! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  20. Any more feedback on this helmet. I am going to drop some $$$ on some bonehead bonds, so I have 6 months to decide between a FTP and this monstrosity. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  21. Registered Jul 30, 2007. You obviously have been stewing on this outburst for some time now. The real question is why didn't you take the time to proof read this drivel! "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  22. What do you mean by a poised exit? Your not talking about the 1990's retro shit where you and your student jungle gym it to the outside of the plane on the step are you? Tandem pairs can do a perfectly fine diving exit from a 182 without the instructor ever getting out the plane and poised on the step. I am open to correction but I think that the old school exit is dangerous, stresses the student out, and is unnecessary. I think all of the manufacturers have now advised against this style of exit from a 182. As far as SL students, why couldn't you either switch to IAD, or do them out of the cargo door on the U206? The sit in the door with their left ass cheek spliting the door frame, left leg forward, right leg trailing. That is how I have seen lower level AFF jumped launched. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  23. Honest question here, why are we moving old posts to this new forum? I think it would have been better to have posts be made into the forum on a going forward basis. It isn't possible to move all old tandem threads, so the piece meal approach just seems inconsistent? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  24. No I am trying to say that they moved us *ahem* "prostitutes" to our own private street corner. We must have been bringing down the housing values, and corrupting all their childrens. "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
  25. HH, are the drogue chuckers' supposed to stay out of the other kids playhouse now that we have our own? "The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P
