  1. You should have added a spot for "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. High winds and a tight DZ with nearly no outs. Going to FL next week and don't want to risk getting stuck in a tree so close to departure date. 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
  3. Can you lend me a spare 100 lbs? 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. It was a friend of the family, Steve, who was the only one I had as a child who shared my interest in things that flew. He was significantly older than me, so he was able to show me some very cool things, like the Air & Space museum in Washington. He took me for my first airplane ride ( unbeknownst to my parents
  5. Someone has WAY TOO much time on their hands. 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. He was great on DC101, but I'm unimpressed with him ever since. 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
  7. Yeah, but then where would we get all the funny pictures and second hand stories to fill the internet with? Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  8. Really. Now that I look at it, the damage IS consistent with that scenario. Where did it happen? (If I got the initial story wrong, I probably got the location of Queensland wrong as well.) Too bad, it was a cool story though. 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!!)

  9. It depends on what you are willing to sacrifice in the area of canopy performance. If you jump at a DZ that has lots of outs and are not worried about the small decline in performance lost due to the drag of an inflated pilot chute, then go ahead and replace it. However, at some point you're going to have to learn it. It might as well be now. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  10. The story I got was that it was a jealous wife with a chainsaw and the whole thing took less than ten mins. Scary. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  11. Actually, the one you don't want to cheat on is the one who did this. 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. Suzuki 250 single. 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
  13. I think you misunderstand what the image of a woman means to us. Guys are primarily motivated by what we see. When we see someone from 50 ft out, we don't know anything about them except that they look like the kind of woman we would like to exchange bodily fluids with. It could, and often does, turn out that there is nothing else there that we find interesting. We can't tell if a beautiful woman is a raving lunatic (like my last girlfriend was) until we hear her speak, and than maybe not for a while (it was 8 weeks before I figured out that the last one was a nutball). Meanwhile, men can find women sexually attractive completely apart from their personality, something that women rarely do. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

  17. Actually, it's more like this: 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

  19. I don't know. That drives me nuts at work as well. I don't know why they think it's OK. You would think that people who have medical training would know better.

    Condos

    My condo has increased in value over 35K in four years. Condos have all the same tax advantages of individual homes. The only real difference is that when something goes wrong on the inside, it's your problem, when it goes wrong on the outside, it's the condo associations problem.

  25. What I meant, but expressed poorly, was that in a relationship, there is a mutual care taking. If one or the other partner isn't able to provide, the partnership will become unequal, and, eventually, unhappy. If I have to scratch my own back as well as yours, I'm gonna be a hurting unit after a while. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...
