  1. Happy birthday to you, cochese! Mmmm, mature cheese!
  2. I wear SHADES in the SHADE! Man, I'm cool! 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. Well, that's just stupid IMHO. One of the students at myDZ this summer who chopped a lineover, actually got asked when she came in with her handles "What are you holding those for?", because she was specifically taught to throw her handles. But it's really up to you. And I flew the DZ's canopy in a tree on my first jump, but what they were worried about was me. (canopy was unscratched). 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. Hello? Anyone there? Hello, hello, hello? Well, so much for diplomacy, let's ready the hangar ships! 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?
  5. mind me showing how much you suck?! What you need, young man, is a jump. Oh, and I dumped non-jumping boyfriend before I started jumping. For other reasons than skydiving. And some people don't have any hobbies themselves, so they can't handle you doing things in your spare time. And some people will just be plain scared for you, as they know you something that isn't safe, and they can't understand why you do it, as they have never done it themselves. 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?
  6. Help! I'm upside down! 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. Finally. I suppose this has been discussed before, but as the "windows taskbar" thread went a little off topic on this, I'm posting this in it's separate poll. It's OK to throw tomatoes or eggs at followers of heretic operating systems, but nothing too solid. People can get hurt. Oh, and peace and love, everyone
  8. Clean as it gets. I need my stuff! I'm a lefty too, the only way. But only with computer mice and politicts. I use pens and scissors with my right hand. Edited for spelling and to add: That's "learning the vi editor", caricature of myself assortment of DVDs, white cotton glove, paper formerly used for maths, now for drawing, Harman Kardon Soundsticks, Dell 20" display, arcteryx best of 2006 DVD, my old canon camera, my Wacom drawing tablet, receipt for earphones, membership card in NAK/FAI, Body shop Passion/Neroli and lavender lotion, a table knife, sweet wrapper, worn out, slightly fire damaged PD 9-cell, (paid) bills, computer display cleaning spray and tissue, USB hub, Power Mac G4 MDD ("Windtunnel G4), bags with (clean clothing), IKEA table, jewelry, presta to schwabe adapter, assortment of electrical and computer connection cables. I think that's all. Just in case _anyone_ was wondering. Welcome to my humble home! Edited to add: No there's more, but cannot be bothered with mentioning it.

  9. Oh, c'mon! We aren't all bad! We're just people. Girls are different just like boys are different. Just look for someone who fits you. Oh, and we do suck. Sometimes.

    Geeks...

    Windows is not an operating system for geeks. It's an operating system for gamers and accountants. None of these groups are true geeks. Multiple operating systems is geeky. (windows + others). Anything Unix based or unix like is geeky. Just to set things straight here. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER!

  11. You didn't tell me about your wife! Hey. she's not still a miss if she's married, right? 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?
  12. LMAO! Great idea! 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?

    SUSHI

    Salmon eggs, or ikura is the best. The best sushi piece ever. Really, try it. Tastes salty, a bit like smoked salmon, and the eggs burst and leak their juice in your mouth like berries. Delicious! Sushi is great. Nothing like a big plate of different kinds of sushi to share with your friends. Sushi can BTW be eaten with your hands. They do that quite often in japan, depends on the place you eat it, in fancy restaurant you'd obviously use chopsticks, but in less formal places you're free to use your hands. Oh, and: One piece = one mouthful. And the green goo (Wasabi) is to be used sparingly, mixes in soy sauce or put between fish and rice. Beverage of choice with sushi is beer. You could be all fancy and cool and buy japanese beer like Kirin (meaning giraffe) or Asahi (meaning morning sun (!)), but european or even american beer work just as well.

  14. Nothing compared to me! I have Art History & Japanese! Beat that! And I work with computers. 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. We are so glad that you're here to tell us these things, Walt. (I'm not sure I'll include the sarcasm tags or if I was being serious...) 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?
  16. There is a solution to this problem, and that's printing those signs in different sizes, and make stickers of them, and make fridge magnets of them, and SELL to tourists and make money. Really, I can't see the problem. There used to be problems with people stealing the unique norwegian moose signs, but the problem has been alleviated by copies of it being sold to tourists, and anyway its a source of income now. There is also a place in Norway called Hell. Actually. North of Trondheim, if I remember correctly. They have Hell postcards. Some with cool heavy metal style lettering. The place in itself is uninteresting. There's also a street in Oslo called Sexes gate. They have just given up having signs, and just paint the street name on the wall. Fun how same words in different languages can have completely different meanings. 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. Shit I broke into chocolate box. 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?
  18. Great choice with Angelina Jolie: If she's naughty, they can just stick her to a window with her suction cup lips. I always like to compare my baggings with her lips. Well lots of fun themes for skydiving movie, from female conflict soap set on a DZ, to murderer mystery, to "The Big Collection of NSTIW-stories", to skydiving history, but the problem is that many of these themes have a very limited appeal outside the skydiving world.

  19. Does: "Someone get this guy some ritalin!" Constitute a personal attack? Or is it maybe advertising? I don't really expect an answer, I just wanted to post 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?
  20. 2-way is a formation consisting of two people. It's a finer way of saying "me and the other guy". Or "half the 4-way" (FS 4-way is a popular competition discipline). I haven't done bigger formations yet, I'm just a newbie Don't worry about all the words. You'll learn. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

  21. I learned from my instructor to throw my handles. Just one less thing to think about. Different instructors and DZ have different ways to teach EPs. I think it's easier to learn if one know about only one way to do it. Less confusing. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

  22. oh yes, amen Yeah, after my tandem jump, the only thing I thought was wrong with it was that it was over. There is a reason why we do it, we love it. It's also funny how I can find a kind of calm and quietness at 120mph. Maybe it's because I'm so concentrated. That's absolutely amazing. An exit really only lasting some seconds can feel really long. All the thoughts I have time for when I track away from my 2-way.

  23. FYI skygod is often used as a desciption of people whose egos has grown faster than their skydiving ability. "Oh, you newbies aren't worth standing in my shadow or lick my boots. I have the coolest elliptical canopy, I can control my body in all freefall possitions, and is the source of all wisdom at this DZ. Pack my rig for free and I might share some tips with you." would be a typical statement. We aren't super humans, we're just ordinary people like you, but we enjoy jumping out of moving aircraft. You sound like a skydiver type to me, just let me give a couple of warnings: It's expensive, takes a lot of time, and it's not safe. And really, just three words: Do A Jump! Sounds like you want to.
  24. Cut the black and grey! Not cool! Give yourself a splash of color. Why red and yellow, BTW? PD actually makes pink canopies. 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. I'm wondering why. Its a promise for the future. Or have I missed something and someone promised retrofit already? Even if it can't be retrofitted into my brand new Icon, it will almost certainly be available when I order my next rig. Skyhook would be great, but I couldn't afford a vector when I ordered my rig, and I doubt I'll buy a vector in the future, so it's fantastic to have that option on the rig I want and can afford.
