  1. Nah, if it was Scotland, we'd be wearing kilts.
  2. Nope. I've been jumping that one for two seasons now. Nope. Just one. I used to have two but I sold the other one. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  4. The tough get jumping. -4 at atltitude. BRRRRRRR
  5. The frequency you jump will be determined by your progress, the weather and the type of program you're in (e.g. AFF, static line, IAD, etc...). Frequency can range from once a day to several times a day. It all depends on how well (or not well) you do. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  6. Put as much money together as you can. That way you can go through your student progression without interruption. Work with your instructors after you get your license about what gear to get.

  7. Tell the DZO just in case they come to the DZ asking all kinds of questions. The way drug laws are nowadays, they can use any connection, no matter how distant, to implicate others.

  9. Unbelievably cold, but also one of the coolest things you'll ever do.
  10. Yet another reason I'm SO glad that women are not interested in me. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717
  11. Not only is it BS, it's thoroughly debunked BS. The thing you can do with the bible code also works on newspaper articles and Moby Dick. It's electronic snake oil.

  12. I thought it meant (P)ara (C)ommander.
  13. Well, it's time to start looking for a place to set up house when I retire in three years (starting a job at 19 has its benefits
  14. I knew that. I only said that because velcro is a bad idea anywhere on a rig. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717
  15. Leaving the balloon at Rantoul AFTER they tell you the shag van won't pick you up and you have no cell phone with you. ($70.00 cab ride back) Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  16. The stupidity of this whuffo leaves me speechless. That is a VERY hard thing to do. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717
  17. Have this replaced before your next jump. Also, get rid of the velcro if you can. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717
  18. Hey, dude, I don't mean to freak you out.......
  19. A passion, bordering on madness. It's the 800 lb gorilla in the living room of my life.
  20. It sucks SO BAD to be the rebound guy. The rebound guy has NO CHANCE WHATSOEVER to be anything but the emotional tampon of the reboundee. Guys, if you know she's on the rebound RUN!!!!!!!

  23. Those who get on the court are in many ways reflective of the ideology of the administration who appoints them. Thomas and Scalia (sp) are examples of that. Sometimes they turn out to dissapoint their champions (O'Connor is an example), but more often than not they are an extension of the POTUS who appointed them. Nope, Newt is not around anymore (that's a good thing) but the GOP has much more power now than they did in the 90's (that's a bad thing). The DNC can't field any viable candidate in 2008. They won't even fight for whomever they nominate, so how can they win? It doesn't matter who the GOP puts up as a candidate, the DNC candidate will loose. What source are you getting this from? The DNC is losing voter in all categories, minorites in particular. Newly registered black and latino voters are going with the GOP more than the DNC. They only have a thin majority now, but that grows with time and time is on the side of the GOP. I still say let the DNC die a fast rather than a slow death. (They really deserve it. Any party that won't fight for their candidate is not worthy of the office or the trust of the people) I for one will be only too happy to read the obit for the DNC. Good riddance.

  24. It's not just Gore/Kerry. It's the house, senate, White House and SCOTUS. All in just 8 years. Also, the DNC is losing on the state and local level as well. My state, Maryland is as blue as they come and the GOP is now sitting firmly in control. Also the GOP on the local level is poised to dominate the state house in the next round. The DNC candidate even lost for school board in Baltimore county. Face it, the DNC is composed entirerly of professional loosers. The sooner they go, the better. It's never too early to write the eulogy of a party that has betrayed its base and is no longer able to meet the challenges before it. The DNC can't sucessfully counter anything the GOP throws at it. It's like they have no stomach to fight. The sooner they go the better. Bye, bye, see ya later, have a nice life. Loosers. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...
