  1. Did you know that Barack Obama is actually George Bush in make-up. Have you ever seen them at the same place at the same time? I haven't ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  2. If you're concerned about having money, don't start skydiving. Seriously ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  3. It isn't an easy choice (as the years pass I enjoy even more of their music) but the lyrics just hit home for me ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  4. Mine is High Hopes from The Division Bell. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  5. MIB could mean "Men In Black" or it could mean "Muslims In Burqas" ... you just don't know with all the recent "Terrorist Fist Jab" and "Anti-Semitic Blog" stuff ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  6. That's what an "old lady" would say. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  7. Yes, I know. However, the context of this thread is about the bridle, PC, and handle (not main) and thus packing method in this thread refers to the bridle, PC, and handle (not the main). I'm still under the impression that a heavy handle, holding onto the handle, or weak throw is more likely to be the cause of an entanglement. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  8. Depends on if they get anything other than a USPA membership (like a logbook, googles, etc...). "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  9. Their is a difference between high winds and high gusts. A downwind landing is not an emergency. People practice downwind landings in preparation for an emergency situation (landing out, avoiding an obstacle, etc...) where they might be forced to. That's not stupid. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  10. How about people trade in their vehicles that get less than 20 miles per gallon for vehicles that get greater than 30 miles per gallon? Just an idea ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  11. Agreed. I think the damage occurs when the child grows older and must determine reality from fantasy while dealing with pressures to conform ... PS: At least when a child grows older they are told that the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, etc... aren't real. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  12. Are those knots most likely due to a particular packing method? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  13. I agree. However, the handle does appear to matter ... Provided the handle acts as a snag point, yes.... howver, I have also seen several examples of bridles slipknotted around the middle of pc's...so it appears to be a 'luck of the draw' issue, at least to me. But is that because of the packing method or a heavy handle allowing the bridle to rise above the PC and form a loop that the PC passes through? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  14. I agree. However, the handle does appear to matter ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  15. Seals are slower. Are you sure? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  16. How is this a packing issue? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  17. Are you sure it's because you're a skygod and not because of elephantiasis? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  18. This is not a packing issue. This issue is caused by a heavy handle or holding onto the handle for an extended period of time while deploying causing the bridle to rise above the handle and form a loop that the handle then passes through ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  19. Mountains ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  20. Have you checked the user name of the recent threads started? Your user name is "skr" and all the user names start with "skr". Looks like a bug ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  21. By studying the psychology of the individual (and country) and the economic dependence of the country. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  22. Nope, what I am claiming is that we need to distinguish between those who will change and those who won't change and focus are efforts on those who will. If the very best you can do lately is claim "if you don't agree with me than you must belong to the right" then you are in trouble indeed. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  23. Really mature. We know what they stand for and they aren't changing (even if we talk to them). They know what we stand for and we aren't changing (even if they talk to us). Thus, we don't have to talk to them (or kill them) until they do something. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  24. Are you trying to prove his point? After all, Rumsfeld talked to Saddam and Saddam still committed genocide. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  25. Mankind at it's best. Mankind at it's worst. All because of one man ... "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
