  1. If I ever go over there, I'll check if there's anything there worth drinking, except for water. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
  2. Dear Santa Claus! For Christmas I want: A Canon EF-S 10-22 with lens hood and UV filter, it's OK if it's in good used condition, doesn't have to be new. A Bonehead Mamba XS Full face skydiving headgear Some mint pre 1990 my little ponies, preferably Gusty or Surprise Artist's quality acrylic colors, good quality round n 14 synthetic brush, and some prepared canvases on frames. Pyjamas Woollen underwear and hat. I hope it's not too much trouble and that the elves can trade home made toys for these items quite easily. I'm sorry to say that I don't have sherry to offer while you visit, but I have some quite good madeira that you can have, take the whole bottle, I don't drink much of that stuff anyway. I don't have a chimney either, but I'm sure you can manage. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
  3. Can I be a skygodess too, or do I have to work more on my ego? Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
  4. Nice! I'll work the 24 and the 31, but other than that, I'll just stay at home eating fatty and sugary food until the 2 of january. Looking forward to it! Merry Christmas.
  5. Yes, but I can't find any mood that american whisky would fit. Maybe the "I want to get drunk and I only have a bottle of bourbon!"-mood? , but I've luckily never experienced that. If I wanted alcohol that didn't taste good, I'd drink vodka, because that gives you less of a headache, and doesn't taste as bad, and you can blend it with things to make it taste better, but american whiskEy tastes raw, strong alcohol, and what's not alcohol taste in it is just unpleasant. Brown spirits should taste good. Otherwise it's beer or wine for me. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER!

  6. Phew. Good to know. Fame is coming as a shock to me. But I do hope there will be groupies. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
  7. I don't drink american whiskey. Scottish single malt, on the other hand, especially Islay, that's something completely different. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
  8. Not only that, in the photo, I'm the girl in all black among all the baby blue. Do I owe beer now? Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
  9. Of course Turtlespeed is dangerous: They said it on the news, men you meet on the internet will probably drug you and rape you if you meet them in real life. It has to be true when they said it on the news. And turtles in general are definetely hazardous. Especially when dropped from high places.

  10. Burn a lot of cash on a DIAMOND ring? I guess I'll never understand you americans. Too bad it's a 169 you're selling, I'd love a better 150 than what I've got right now.

  12. it's always the season somewhere
  13. You don't need them if you're not alone. YOU are doing the job of a heated mattress pad if there is anyone else in the bed with you. There is a reason why double beds were invented.

  14. And you only broke your FOOT? Lucky you! Wow. I broke my ankle landing a perfectly good parachute this summer, but no hardware, so don't have any experiences with hardware to share. Get well soon, I hope you recover fully! Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
  15. Really, really nice pictures, even if the canopies have all colors, it looks matching. A weird, flying object that no one would think could fly. Incredible! Awesome!

  16. Don't just listen to your instructors, I'm in your weight range, and was adviced to get a 135 sqr ft main by my instructors just to get to 1:1.1 wingload, that's supposedly very important to have to get decent penetration and flare. It turned out I didn't want all that speed. They may have a look at your landings and say how they think you fly and land, and give recommendations based on that, but only you can know what you want and don't want. You can learn a lot on a canopy that's slightly "too big", while a too small one just increases your chances of breaking something, and that means less jumping. And get more jumps before you start thinking about buying gear. Just MHO. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER!

  17. 1. save money. (there are many ways to achieve this, including eating cheaper food, learning to cook properly, selling things, drinking less, etc.) 2. look for nice, used gear that fits you. Don't get a too small canopy. I can say that from my own experience. You will learn a lot on something that is slightly "too big", while something that is too small increases you chances of breaking something, and that prevents you from jumping for a long time. 3. Buy it! 4. Jump! I did the above, but got new gear. That works too, but there's alot of used gear on the market, especially for men, so used is a better option.

  18. Yeah, but you don't want to bang your head in the door on exit either... Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
  19. I remember my dreams most nights, and I agree that they mean something. In my case they are so similar to what I think about and do during the day, that the meaning is pretty obvious, even without a degree in psychology. I don't think they can tell you anything about the future or things that are going to happen, but they are an indicator about how you feel, what you worry about, what you want.

  21. AN-28. Holds 20, climbs like a Twin Otter and has a big back door. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
  22. What's the music? I like it. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
  23. I strongly object to this anti-fun post: this is like religious fundamentalists who try to stop people dancing. People like doing it, so it must be stopped. No seriously, get yourself some tunnel time and fly and have fun. You have to try it to know if you like it or not.
  24. I've seen skydivers use it with in-ear headphones while jumping, and it looks like that went fine. But it should be equipped with a warning label: "For skydiving use: Be sure to put on and check ALL of your gear before turning on music. Listening to your favourite Rammstein song can make you forget other things. Like your camera helmet". Shame that your shuffle died at bridge day, but we all know that BASE is more dangerous than skydiving. If it was still covered by warranty you could try to bring it back to the shop. I'm pretty sure it would look better than many other ipods that I sent in. Especially the one with water coming out of it. Or was that what happened?. I didn't think the video capability on the ipod nano was that great, until I found out some men are so impressed with it that I couldn't do better with a sports car. And that can be useful Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
  25. Do 13 years olds need Mp3 players, now? I used to sell iPods, and sold some iPod shuffle to people who gave them to 13-year olds. I've also sold a bunch of bigger and more expensive ipods that were used by 13 years olds, but I do think the shuffle was the most successful for the younger users. It can stand a little more abuse than other players since it has got no display, and is small and can be clipped on clothes. And I really think that iPod has better functional design and build quality than many other mp3 players. I used to send ipods in for repair too, and there wasn't too many issues with them. You have to seriously abuse it to break it. I remember 13-14 years olds dropping ipods so the display or other parts broke, I've heard about them forgetting them at school or having them stolen. I saw one that water came out of once. Things happen. He will like the shuffle if it's OK for him that it has got no display. If you can have it delivered from Apple's own internet shop before cristmas, it will be even cooler with an engraving on it. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.
