  1. HAHA!!! That was like a 3600-degree toggle approach. That had to have been initiated at anywhere between 6 and 7 thousand feet It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  2. Once when I was about 10 I was at my grandma's house and had to pee with a boner. I was employing the ol' lean-against-the-wall method, when suddenl I lost my grip and it went rogue. Piss everywhere-- countertop, mirror... oh, the humanity. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  3. It's worse-- they have my cell phone number! And they call from a blocked number, so I can't prank call them later or anything. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  4. The cops just called again.... I saw the number on my phone and thought, "maybe they had a change of heart." "Mr. Cashman, this is Officer Martinez again. Hey sorry to bother you again, but you forgot to give us your apartment number at your new address." sssssiiiiiiigggggghhhhhh It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  5. So in September, my roommates and I threw a "no pants" party. Long story short, it was out of control, and we ended up having a ridiculous police force dispatched to our house (Kicking down doors, riot gear, the whole shabang). Closed off the entire block with road blocks.... Anyway, my roommate and I both got citations, after the cops that showed up said we wouldn't get citations. (I was one of the people who called the cops). So we went to our court dates, and my case wasn't showing up-- I was in the free and clear, and my roommate ended up having to come back for another court date, where they eventually dropped his charges in December. Well it's 1am on February 2nd, and I just got a call from the Police department. They noticed that my citation wasn't signed (which I noticed at my original court date) so they came by my house..... at 1 am..... to have me sign another one. I was like, "okay, what a pain in the ass, but okay." As the cop is finishing up, he says: "oh, and here's your new court date." Excuse me? Are you fucking joking? You called me at 1 am 5 months after this shit even happened to issue me a new court date for a case that's already been dropped? I'm so unbelievably pissed off, I don't even know why they even bothered. Then the cop says "it'll hopefully get dropped again." Which of course, I hope it will too. But at that point, now you've just essentially wasted your time tonight, and now HOURS of my life spread out over the next 4 months (My court date is in mid April, and I'll probably have another scheduled at the one) for a case that will (hopefully) get dropped.

  6. okay that was a really good catch -applause- It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  7. MMMM..... as a devoted fan since the day of my birth in Phoenix, this one is lookin' niiiiiiice It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  8. I prefer bite switches, and found you can extend their life considerably by slipping a piece of clear plastic tubing or surgical tubing from Home Depot over the switch. Doesn't make it any harder to bite (almost easier) and protects it from the usual wear and tear of your teeth. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  9. I am always a fan of large projector screens with people showing their footage from the day. I truly enjoy watching the spectrum of skydiving-- from the world class, to the third-world-class. It's my personal favorite after eating a huge dinner (Because I probably neglected food all day) and grabbing 2-3-4 beers to take with me to the theater area. Nice way to start off the evening, at least. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  10. This is exactly the reply I was looking for. -bows head- konichiwa, sensei It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

  12. So, I set up my new camera helmet, was real excited to use it, and the last thing I had to do was plug in the bite switch... derrr, completely forgot about the digital plug on the 40D. Ordered a new switch (Is it really worth TWICE as much?...) and I decided to order the mouth switch since it seems my bite switch always ends up kinda on my tongue anyway. (I hate the tongue switches, just not for me). Well it came and it turn out I hate the mouth switch, too. The roof of my mouth does not accommodate the switch very well... took a whopping 4 photos my first jump with it. So, I am jut using it like a bite switch. My question is, could I splice the wires somehow to use my old bite switch with the digital plug? If it were just the stereo plug, and it didn't cost $65, I would have done it already... also keep in mind I cant solder. If not, I plan on just slipping some surgical tubing over it and using it as a bite switch (I have plenty around as I use it on my bite switches too, got tired of biting through 'em) It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye

  14. 2 audibles and Altitrack at the same time (Altitrack works like a digial, but displays like an analog, so there is no "wagging" of the needle. Flip on your back and put your alti in the burble and see what happens...) I have multiple altimeter-less jumps... one completely by accident. Got carried away with switching helmets, camera gear, etc.... distracted myself, rushed myself, forgot to switch over my audibles and ran to the plan without my wrist-mount. I think if planned out properly it's an advantageous thing to do from time to time, helps dial in that vision... otherwise it was a nice lesson in complacency.

  15. Google search, first result... this guy really loves his vacuum research, it seems... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGruPhWCTwA It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  16. Okay, so here should e a pretty convincing argument. My parents owned a vacuum repair and sales shop for 15 years, worked in them for 20. DON'T BUY A KIRBY. It's an overweight, overpriced piece of shit. It works fine, but not for what you are getting sold on. Kirby's were meant to be sold by salesman waling door-to-door and would come in your house and make this miracle clean-up. It's fucking heavy, it gets old. Advantages: Metal parts (I think they are still?). Metal doesn't break nearly as easy. 90% of vacuum repairs I saw growing up were broken fans. Plastic ones. Now I will admit I am a few years out of the vacuum game, but when I was in it, if you wanted a metal component vaccum, you should get a Royal. They are lighter, clean better, and their fan is like 3 times the size of the fan in the Kirby. Are you vacuuming all carpet? Remember, suction is not the primary cleaning agent of carpet-- it's brush action. Brushes get the dirt and nasty out of the carpet, suction gets it from the brush to the bag. Important, but not as much as they say. Orek vacuums-- sooooooo shitty. That stupid demonstration of his? Any vacuum can hold a bowling ball if you let the suction build up. Don't get an Orek. If you are willing to spend the $$ on a Kirby, DON'T!!!!!! Go buy something lighter and better. Go to a vacuum store, help those guys out, too. Just before my parents sold the business, the vacuums to have if you wanted something like a Kirby were Royal. Other than that, we sold more Hoover Windtunnel's than I can count. We were very tight with he guys at Hoover, and they came to us o make a pretty convincing argument and demonstration when they heard we were selling Royal's over them. Just my two cents. Don't rip yourself off by buying a Kirby. (Last I remember, Kirby's were ~$800, and the top of the line Royal was ~$500.....)

  17. If you are truly concerned about it (or just wanna play it safe for a little while as you get back into it) you can wear a neck roll, like the ones made out of memory foam. I'm not sure of too many others, but I am pretty sure Lazlo uses one when he jumps his larger video set ups, probably others (Hell, I may be wrong about Lazlo, but I know SOMEONE does it). I would talk this over with someone first, though... preferably someone who already uses it. I have an unfortunately crooked back, and hard openings are not my best friend, either. I jumped a Spectre for more than a year, and found it was just as likely to spank me as other canopies I have jumped (Checking the trim on my lines would have helped, but I stand by my point). As I am sure someone has pointed out by now (I didn't read every post) that hard openings are just part of the sport, especially should you need the reserve. I put ~100 jumps on my Samurai and it was the most consistantly soft-opening canopy I have personally jumped. It gave me ONE hard opening, and it was a good one (Put me on the ground the rest of the day, couldn't move my neck). We sucked it a little low, I opened with my head a little low, and I payed for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl4J26D3nzI Just an example of how extenuating circumstances can bring about painful consequences It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  18. An interesting development from our class website: I obviously could have done worse It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  19. Just pointing out some inconsistancies... I missed one of the quizzes, so that was -10 (one of the two days of class I missed), other than that, I averaged ~9/10 on the quizzes, all of which were random. I did considerably better than most on the quizzes I literally spent DAYS in the library writing these research papers... I honestly did work very hard, I thought I earned the righ to study less for this final than the other 6 classes I was taking (2 other finals that day).

  20. From our Green Sheet (AKA sylabus) "Grades will be based of a collection of writing assignments which must be turned in online through turnitin.com as well as a physical copy to me prior to noon on the due date. There will be three writing assignments, totaling at least 10 pages each. There will also be ten in-class quizzes, which will be based off reading assignments and lectures. Since attendance is not considered in your grade, these quizzes will be what is calculated into your class participation grade. There will be a final on December 14th at 9:45, and the location will be announced later in the semester. The final will count as 20% of your final grade."

  21. I'll giver HER a curve. A curved brick through her office window. (I'll figure out what that means later) I hate that they have the right to type in any two digits they feel like into my transcript. I wish I had access to her paycheck... it would have two digits, too. After the decimal. That's how empty I feel. I now wonder why I spent days of my life in the library writing those papers (All 12+ page research papers) It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  22. I'm not sure I can follow my Anthropology teacher's logic here. I worked very hard in this class, and left the final knowing I wouldn't get anything lower than a B+. Our grades were based off three writing assignments, ten quizzes (totaling 100 points) and our final. Class participation was not a part of the grade, as 100+ people were in the class. My grades were as follows: Writing Assignment 1: 98% Writing Assignment 2: 99% Writing Assignment 3: 97% Quizzes: 78/100 Final: 72% (I hardly studied for it because I was doing so well) Grades came in today, and I got a C.... I wrote to my teacher that this seemed incorrect, and I get this response: Too bad my desired response of "Take a fucking leap" is the only reply that would change my grade. It would be lowered, of course. So hey, Professor Weiss- FUCK YOU It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  23. My 580II got here the other day.... -shivers- It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  24. 5-hour energy. It has lots of vitamins in it. B-12 mainly, i think... like 6-7 months worth of it. Seriously though, when i had that problem in middle/high school playing on 2 or even 3 baseball teams at a time, I found Ramen Noodles to be an easy cure. Boil them up, slightly undercook them, then put them in a coffee mug, like the covered "travel" mugs, then when you pick him up from school and drive to karate he'll have perfectly cooked, warm noodles. Not that I ever had that routine. Oh, and Capri Sun or a juice box. Damn I'm hungry. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
  25. LMAO!! well you can take over as host swervy...I don't want to get flooded with cack n sac heres another BBBRRRRRR!!! Your google search history must be absolutely priceless. Come to think of it, I think just about anybody who posts in Bonfire would have an entertaining search history. It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye
