    This has been mentioned before but, as skydivers I don't really think we have any right to pretend to feel bad about large consumptions, considering all the money we pay each weekend just to burn a bunch of airplane fuel that really serves no purpose at all in the world, except to provide fun for all of us. I can't believe I am saying this, but I agree with Clay. So what if that little flash movie shows all those statistics and "moving" pictures. It doesn't suggest any solutions, so it is just as pretentious as that "wealthiest 8%". "Let the rabbits wear glasses. . . "

    This is very unlikely. Most people who claim to be able to draw Calvin, do a sad job. Get some of the books and find a picture of him in the ideal body posture. Trust me, Watterson drew him in pretty much every pose imaginable, it's just a question of finding the right one. Of course if you would settle for one of those stupid "bastard Calvins" like you see peeing on all sorts of symbols, then any old hack can draw those. But why would you want something like that on your body?
  5. I doubt that my closing loop is too loose, cause I have to do all sorts of yanking to get it through all the grommets, but I will ask a more experienced jumper about it, and see how far I can lift the rig with my bridle before the pin comes out, next time I am at the DZ.

  7. *shaking fist in the air* Damn you Jessica!!
  8. Yea, don't get me wrong. I gotta yank like a mother to get that much loop left, and more often than not, I can't do it, but it's nice when it does work. I find that beating it down a bit as I string the loop through each grommet helps give me a little extra room to work with. "Let the rabbits wear glasses. . . "
  9. Well, I have found that if I can end up with about 1/2 of an inch of the closing loop coming through the last grommet, I can just press my thumb or finger down on the grommet. This keeps the loop from going anywhere, then you can just take the ribbon out (no friction) and put the pin in, and then let up on the pressure with the finger. This method puts practically no wear at all on the closing loop.

  11. Just cause it's "not in your job description" doesn't mean that it isn't part of your job. Unless you are doing it on your own time, outside of the time you normally work, then it is just another added responsibility to your already pre-existing ones. If you do it during the same part of the day when you also "copy edit" then it is part of your job and you are getting paid for it. http://www.heresyslair.net/humour/know.htm That'll be $2.00...

  22. Way to go bill. The conversation is over, and then you "intervene" and "break it up." Little slow on the draw. But we won't hold it against you. It is Friday after all.
