  1. None of the above. 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
  2. You know of a place where this is happening? If you wish to intervene, then I'd start with the rig maker and USPA. Where is this going on? Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  3. Lake Wales. Gonna be interesting to see how they are doing when I go back next week. 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
  4. There will be no problem with getting copies of the waivers. The TI's card might be a problem due to the cards not being on the TI's person. I don't keep mine with me. Also, I have never had anyone ask, so I would think it odd. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

  5. Pinche_collio_3 here. What's up? 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
  6. Leg strap COVERS are replaceable by the appropriate level of rigger. Only a properly equipped master rigger could replace the strap itself. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  7. It depends on how his injury is being treated. Does he have a cast? If so, how big? (You don't want fiberglass or plaster club waving around in freefall) Has he had surgery and pins set in? If so, how long ago? Those are the basic questions I would start with. Also, he could just wait. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  8. Yeah, so is Mohahmed (sp) and a bunch of other figures from mythology. Your point is? No he didn't. Where is the source for this quote? Just because something that is wrong has been done for a long time, it doesn't make it right. Religious rituals have no place in a secular state. So what if they were? So what if he did? If you want to live in a theocracy, move to Iran, Pakistan, or some of the sub Saharan countries of Africa. Whether you like it or not, we are a secular democracy here. The first amendment ensures that. If you don't like it, leave. As for taking down those other unconstitutional "monuments", the sooner, the better. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  9. There are crossword dictionaries that do just that. Pretty cheap too.
  10. So, where is the video/picture? 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. If we were suicidal, we wouldn't wear parachutes. 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
  12. Broker the deal through a rigger that you trust. Make certain that there is the understanding that the riggers role is to evaluate both pieces for both safety and value and that he is a impartial third party. Most lofts and private riggers will do that for a nominal fee (usually the same as a repack fee). With that, you can be reasonably certain that you'll get a fair deal.

  13. The difference is that true liberals aren't afraid of anchovies. Load 'em up!!!
  14. 7. When it rains, it bores.
  15. No it won't. In the melee and confusion the follows any incident involving large numbers of people and those who are intoxicated, it is highly unlikely that any meaningful intervention would be able to be accomplished by a bystander, armed or otherwise. Not at all. I don't necessarily have a problem with CCW, but a bar or event with alcohol is not a place where a reasonable person would conclude that CCW's are safe. I have been in public safety for 23 years and have seen first hand how quickly things get out of control when drinking gets involved. I have seen things as benign as a bonfire become a death trap when even mild amount of beer and skydivers mix. And this was an event where there was no hostility going on. The speed at which things get out of control is truly amazing. Sorry, booze and guns, of any type, don't mix in public (or in private for that matter). Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  16. So you are saying that firearms and drinking ARE a good mix? Just kidding, but OTOH, I wouldn't feel safe knowing the intoxicated can have access to firearms. I mean they do enough damage with non arms ( chairs, stools, cues, etc...) already. Adding firearms to the mix just seems like fighting a fire with a gasoline hose.

  17. I have a PD 143r and a Spectre 150 in mine. The reserve could probably go up a size, but the main is as big as is likely to fit. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

  18. Tipping for all instructors is very much appreciated.
  19. Spoken like someone who has NO CLUE as to what teachers actually 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
  20. I once cleared an entire kitchen of my fellow firefighters with ONE fart. They never fed me pizza after that.
  21. 32, why do you ask? 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

    Two words: Gore Tex. P.S.: How did you get out of Speakers Corner? 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
  23. Nope, my parents were so risk adverse that they would drive instead of fly ANYWHERE. Makes me think my mom was more kinky than she let on. There's no way I'm the product of both my parents.

  24. 1. I think that most europeans feel the US is out of control. 2. I think that most europeans feel the election of shrubya is confirmation that the US is out of control.
