  2. Southern Florida is The North. (All them damn Snowbirds Might as well be in New Jersey!!)
  3. That is because the program is still trying to figure out what the hell a "Cocktillio" is...
  4. 8 Years today. Started November 1, 1998. Exercised my options 3 years ago and bought 20% of the company. In 4 Years, the Senior Partner (Majority Owner) is retiring and My self and one other partner are in the process of buying him out. Sell the company a couple years after that and be retired at 40 (Give or take a couple years). That is the plan anyway.
  5. Fuck That!! Play to win!!
  6. I like to have never got them back from Jeiber last time I let them out of my sight. I thought we were going to have to Amputate.
  7. I grew up in Georgia.. Its Coke!! All of it. Typical conversation.. Person 1. Get me a Coke?? Person 2. Sure.. What kind?? Person 1. Umm. Sprite. Person 2. Ok.. Here you go. I love to watch the Yankees try to figure that one out.
  8. N - E - Double K - By God ID - NEKKID!! Clearly defined by Lewis Grizzard many years ago as " Got your clothes off and Up to something" as Opposed to Naked which just mean no clothes. Two totally different words!!
  9. Just the Opposite girl.. Like I said before, I like em, Hot, with Brains and Holding an Assault Rifle!! , However, I gain at least 1 Point on the hotness scale for every 20 points they loose.
  10. I heard that Buried really has the Hots for Kele something fierce.. However he has to rationalize her rejection of him buy convincing himself she must be Gay else his ego would suffer.
  11. What is so bad is that I have seen almost somewhat reasonably intelligent people do this. I just want to stop them and say "You realize every time you say "You Know" you drop atleast 2 IQ points." You know!!
  12. Uhhh. Hippy.. Obviously Hottie is not over seeing the list.. There are many essentials you are forgetting.. 1. Advil.. Lots of Advil. 2. Gatorade.. (Gotta replenish those electrolites) 3. Tums 4. Spare Liver At a Minimum, These items must be added to the pile.
  13. Speaking of Rides... Is anyone going to driving past the Atlanta Airport on their way to the Boogie around 10:00pm or 10:30pm on Thursday Night?? PM me if you are please.
  14. One of my Biggest Pet Peeves..."you Know". I hate it when I am talking to someone and every other phrase is "You Know". Resently I was talking to someone with this annoying habit and after about 2 minutes, I interrupted than and let them know that they said "You Know" 27 times ithe past 2 minutes. Example: "So I was going down the street you know.. And then this car you know Like pulled right out in front of me you know. I had to slam oin brakes You know to keep from hitting them you know. Scarred the shit out of me you know." Arrrrgggg!!! NO I dont Know..Why dont you tell me.. And If I do already Know, Why are you wasting my Time??
  15. Your Math Escapes me there.. I dont know what your DZ Charges for AFF or SL Jumps but using Average prices around here.. 2 AFF Students @ $160 each (for 6 Slots) = $320 vs 5 SL Students @ $65 each (6 Slots Total) = $325 And the SL is going to use alot less fuel and Hours on the engine and turn much quicker. Doesnt make sense to me why they wouldnt send the SL load when they make more and it costs them less.
  16. Not just me.. Everyone.. All 300+ Jumpers this weekend should get atleast one good one in before the weekend is over.
  17. You have no idea how much of a mistke you just made!! OK.. Everyone heard her... She asked for it!! A Minimum of One Ass Slap is now required whenever you see her and everyrtime you see her. Rocky Dear.. My only advise to you: Wear Thick Jeans and Hide from Ben!! (You plan on sitting down on Monday do you??)
  18. Getting through AFF does NOT get you off student status. The A license does that. That takes 25 Jumps minimum with either progression. After AFF you are cleared for Solos and Coach Jumps. That is it. (and the AFF progression doesn’t stop after Level 8.. There are more requirements to be met to get to become a Licensed Skydiver.) With Static Line, Every Jump is a Solo. By Jump 12 you are doing full altitude freefall coach jumps. It takes 25 Jumps to get an A License. You can get 25 Jumps quicker dong static line for the following reasons.. 1. Only going to 3000 feet for your first few Jumps. Fewer weather holds due to low ceiling. 2. Only one instructor needed and that instructor can put out Multiple Students per Load. 3. Quicker turn around time because You are getting out lower.. At many DZ`s the plane will go on to altitude with other jumpers once the SL students are out. With the later levels, You can make every load if your debriefs are pretty quick and a rig is available. Just because one person took 9 months doesn’t mean anything. I know Plenty of Jumpers that took longer than that to get their A License doing AFF. In fact I am willing to bet that MOST AFF students take at least a Month or Two to get their A if not longer. Another drawback to the AFF program is exactly what your instructors said.. They can get the Students through AFF and be done with them in a Week. 8 Jumps and you are on your own. With SL, You have an Instructor working with you MUCH longer into the progression at a lower cost. If you have bottomless pockets maybe that doesn’t matter to you but for most the fact each Jump is considerably less expensive enables them to get through even faster because they don’t have to fork out so much for every jump and jumps that have to be repeated will not break the bank. You are a Student until you get an A License no matter what progression you choose. Both Progressions require a Minimum of 25 Jumps to get that.
  19. Where is the option for : Dirty Pussy??
  20. Throughout my life.. There have many times when my only thought was... "I want my Rib back!!"
  21. 1. Exactly how is AFF safer?? That is a load of Crap in my opinion. 2. Static Line takes the same amount of time as AFF to get the "A" License. 3. It usually costs less to go through a Static line progression. Repeated Jumps are a Hell of lot cheaper. Most newbies went through AFF and really dont understand the static line progression. I did both programs at different times. Did Static Line in 1992 and then came back to the sport in 2002 and did AFF. Static line was alot less stressful. Learn in smaller steps and generally offered only at smaller DZ`s where you will get much more one on one training. AFF is generally the preferred method in todays world. Each progression has it good points. I would not say either one is Safer or Better than the other. For most, AFF is all they offer but do not rule out Static line. Talk to the Instructors at the DZ. Ignore everything you read here (Especially from Low time jumpers like me).
  22. What about good old Blind Melon Chitlin!! Gonna Throw One Leg Over my Shoulder... Gonna Throw the Other Leg over my Shoulder.. And then Im gonna Mmufffaagggmuuufff aggaas...
