  1. Where's the option for "I haven't had a reserve ride yet"? I only have around 230 jumps so that probably isn't a huge surprise, but a guy I occasionally jump with has over 1000 jumps and hasn't had one yet. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
  2. I have a short term health insurance plan through Fortis Health, that I am paying about 60 bucks a month for. They don't exclude injuries from skydiving. And after my deductible I've been paying 7 dollar copays per visit to the chiropractor that are billed at 70 bucks, so it seems like a decent plan to me.
  3. Just remember, the tandem master is attached to you for good or ill, until you get back on the ground. So he (or she) is going to do everything in their power to make it a good, fun, and safe jump. And don't forget to breathe.
  4. At my DZ exit order is basically whoever wants to get out first. There may be an official, belly flyers out first rule, but it doesn't matter much and is often not adhered to. Of course it matters very little when you're jumping out of a 182 and there is not usually more than 2 groups, if that. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project

  6. Where's the "Who gives a fat crap?" option?
  7. This thread is just sad... hehe... "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project

  10. Yep I'm at work too. I'm here, but that's about all I am doing (being here) just trying to stay awake... Of course this is only mildly different that how my job is normally anyways. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
  11. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but what difference does it honestly make whether the parachute was open, partially open, or still in the container? They still died skydiving. Maybe the media doesn't fully understand every little intricacy of skydiving, but when it comes to fatalities, dead is dead. Their definition of it is the same as ours. The only thing resulting from complaining about the media's lack of perfect pinpoint accuracy after something like this happens is that the skydivers complaining could be seen as callous and uncaring.

  12. Just like the first movie, it was OK and too long. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
  13. I'd pay off all of my and my parents' debt. Then I'd also pay off student loans for all of my friends. New gear and various other new toys. Re-enroll in college. Sponser a DZ.com boogie. Um let's see, that takes care of a couple million... Guess I'll just have to bury the rest. Oh and in the US you have to pay income tax on lottery winnings, usually as soon as you've won. So 215 million, if you took the cash option would probably be around 120 million. Then after taxes, your talking about around 65 million. Oh yea, I'd also buy my DZ a porter, and let some of the DZ.commers that I know, pick out some fancy custom rigs for themselves. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
  14. I think that when you become so bored with skydiving that you need to listen to music during it just to keep it interesting, it's probably time to take up cliff diving or nascar. Hehe. I, personally, have plenty of things to think about in freefall, without trying to be able to hear music in 120+ mph wind. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project

  16. You know how it feels when the engine is definately running but you're not in gear and consequently not really going anywhere? That's about what my last year has been like. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
  17. My understanding is that people from Texas and California call it "Coke", people from Ohio and Michigan call it "pop" and everyone else (the normal people) call it "soda". The default for national marketing campaigns is generally "soda". "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project

    $78 million

    Eh. No biggie. There's a 100 million dollar one here in Indiana tonight, and I'm winning that one. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
  19. Cool, I'll be in San Diego this weekend. Looks like the weather is going to be nice. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
  20. Where's the "What person?" option? "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
  21. I think I'm with the ladies on this one, but the boobies posts are getting old... "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
  22. What do we get paid for participating in a survey that is obviously of value to and being conducted by a known representative of a major skydiving equipment dealer? "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
  23. I'm in Indianapolis, IN, and it was cloudy and rainy all night last night as well. Sort of sucks cause I was looking forward to it. Oh well, I'll just have to try to see it next 33-year-interval. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project
  24. Hehe. Yep. That's why I am currently taking a photography class, and will be starting a fencing class this week. Skydiving is fun, but it's nice to have other things to be excited about as well.
  25. I'm pretty sure they did. Otherwise, I have an amazing fake of one parked outside. Here, this is straight from carfax: VIN: 3FAFP13PX2R164837 Year/Make/Model: 2002 FORD ESCORT Body Style: SEDAN 4 DR Engine: 2.0L L4 SOHC PFI 8V Fuel: GASOLINE Driveline: FRONT WHEEL DRIVE Carburetion: FUEL INJECTED Cylinders: 4 Manufactured in: MEXICO So if you think that that is a good price for a 2000 model, surely you'd agree it's a sweet price for a 2002... Wow, skyrose. YOu have an Escort with 200,000 miles on it? I'd say that's an accomplishment in itself.
