Quite possibly... The best post you have ever made!!

Just wasnt worth it. Made lots of Money... I mean LOTS of money (Each Dancer had to tip me out 10% of whatever they made.. 20 to 40 dancers working each shift.. I was making 2 to 4 times your average dancer). Biggest problem was since they each were paying me.. everyone of them thought I worked just for her. You ever tried to work with 40 different women that each think they are your boss?? No amount of money makes that worthwhile. Did it for 3 years. Never again.

Atleast she was wearing pants... I spent several years working as a DJ in Full Nude Strip Clubs when I was in College.. Every single night it seemed, at least one of the dancers would come into the DJ Booth drop her bottoms, Bend over and say.. Can you see my string?? I finally put a sign in the DJ Booth that said, "String Checks = $20"

Reply.. "Actually it is the first thing I tell them. It helps me filter out Narrow minded women that I wouldn’t want to date anyway. Saves me a good bit of time and money actually to find out how ignorant and judgemental they are BEFORE I take them to dinner. Oh and just in case you were wondering.. I’m a Skydiver.”

The WFFC needs a make over and a full time year Round Promoter. It has gotten stale and definitely needs new blood and fresh ideas. A promoter that travels around to other DZ`s and Boogies and Promotes the event like J does for Skyfest and Spence does for Dublin. There are many false and misleading rumors about the WFFC being spread and someone needs to be out there to spread the truth. Newer jumpers are told that the WFFC is too dangerous and they shouldn’t go by experienced jumpers that remember Quincy or were at Rantoul when it was MUCH more crowded. Specialty Planes and Free Beer is no longer enough to compete. Most Jumpers can find these thing closer to home. Rantoul needs to offer something more. With the mass exodus of the Vendors, that was the last thing that Rantoul had that couldn’t be found anywhere else. How to save the WFFC?? 1. Fulltime promoter that visits other boogies to promote the WFFC and speak directly with low time jumpers to make sure they are getting accurate information about the safty of the WFFC. Basically put a FACE on the WFFC that can take the message to the people. 2. A Make Over and New Image. Focus back on the GIANT Family Reunion aspect as well as the free load organizing. Rebrand Rantoul as the NEW WFFC. Make sure to get the message across that things are different. 3. Bring back the Official DVD. Not having an Official DVD the past few years, Rantoul have missed perhaps its greatest marketing opportunity. The DVD gets people hyped up about going. Each DVD is shown over and over again to many people and serves as a great promotional tool. 4. Host Competitions.. (You have no idea how much it pains me to say this.. But Marks is Right.. (Wow that hurt!!)). A VRW Comp or Swoop comp that is PROPERLY PROMOTED would definitely bring in more people. With the Power of the WFFC as the worlds largest Skydiving event, Perhaps Corporate Sponsorship for the Competitions could be found. 6. They are going to HAVE to lower the Vendor Fees. Make money off the registration fees and Jump tickets. The Vendor cannot pay $1,800 for a Tent and then staff it for 10 days and pay registration for their Staff. The vendors do draw people to the convention. Many people are not coming because the vendors will not be there.. Vendors are not coming because people will not be there. The WFFC needs to find a way to break this cycle. 7. The date change was a bad idea. Having The WFFC start the weekend after Skyfest make Jumpers have to choose one or the other. Right now Skyfest is marketed MUCH better and has the Buzz. People are choosing Skyfest. It is too late to change most of these things for this year. In a nut shell, The convention needs to be marketed better. Right now it is trendy to bash the convention. I have had many different people that have NEVER been tell me about all the bad things they hear. They in turn tell others what they have heard and it steam rolls into what we have now. The current Staff does a great job running the convention.. They just need better help Promoting the convention. Someone that understands Marketing and can get out to the other Boogies and Dropzones and get the massage to the people. This is a year round job. Not just a month or two before the convention starts, By that time people have already put in for Vacations and chosen the boogies they will be attending that summer. When the people come back, The vendors will come back. If the vendors come back, More people will come back.

Dude!! Dont complain... Atleast they finally bathed!! It is about time someone around there did!!

So.. You wanna share a Hotel Room??

My Opinion.... He is creating a situation where something COULD happen. That doesn’t mean that he Expects it to happen or will necessarily press the issue. It really depends on the guy. You say you have only talked to him briefly in the past, so obviously you don’t know him well enough to know what kind of guy he is. If you have no interest in this guy at all, Then definitely stay at home. There is just no good reason not too. Otherwise you are putting yourself in a potentially awkward situation at best. However, do not go under the assumption that EVERY guy that offers to share a Hotel room with you is dead set on getting into your pants. That is simply not the case. If you stay in this sport and start traveling to boogies, you may find yourself sharing Hotel rooms, Tents, and RV`s with men every once in a while simply because there are a lot more of us. It is VERY important to know who is "Safe" and who is not. I would like to think that MOST guys are generally pretty trustworthy but there are unquestionably many that are not. I have shared room with Females in completely platonic situations many times at boogies. It is actually pretty common in this sport but you do have to be very selective on who you accept invites from. This guy may or may not be completely harmless, But right now you dont know him well enough to know which. Do the smart thing and stay home.

Lets See... 1000+ Skydivers, Free Beer, A Bar, Golf Carts and an Huge Inflatable Pool.... What could possilbly go wrong??? I will talk to Spence about it and see what we can do.

We are ALL Devo!! That is why I cant get No (Satisfaction). I have an Uncontrollable Urge to be a Secret Agent Man that is Working in a Coal Mine. You Mongoloid!!

I can see if Spence will let me bring up the Official Roaming DZ Swimming Pool. (Big HUGE Inflatable Pool). We brought it last year, Had it set up and almost filled when Don Kirkland told us... HELL NO!! we were NOT putting a Pool up right by his big Fancy RV Bus. Maybe set it up right Behind the Embassy of the United Drunken Nations this year if we can get a Water Hose out there.

The Embassy of the United Drunken Nations presents the First Annual WFFC Pajama Party!! Sunday Night at the RoamingDZ/Karnage Krew Packing/Party Tent!! Prizes for the following Categories: Most Unique PJ`s Sexiest PJ`s (Male and Female) (I will need Female Volunteer Judges to help pick the Male winner.) Other Suggestions for categories?? We will also have a "Wheel of Carnage" (Still need a couple Volunteer Assistants to help give out the Shots), Jello Shots, DJ and more madness as we come up with it.

I will show you mine if you show me Yours.. Same to you Bobbi!!

Love is an Illusion.. Created to perpetuate another Illusion Called Marriage.. Which results in a Reality Called Divorce!!

waiting for you on the table soon as you get here. Nice juicy Ribeye, Ceasar Salad, Garlic and Cheese Mashed Patatoes, Fresh Green beans and a Bottle of Merlot. Hurry or it will get cold.

And I got a "Love you" from this really cool hot chick on Saturday night!! I feel special even if it was in that drunken friend kinda way!!

I got Three Rules in Life.. 1. No Strippers!! 2. No Red Heads!! 3. No Women from Alabama!! For a truely peaceful (and Boring) Life.. Live by these Rules. Of course these Rules are the MOST fun to break of any rules ever!!

Yep. Has anyone ever actaully made it all the way Home from getting a new tatoo without already planning the next one?? I already have my next Three Planned out.

Very Nice work..

But after the first couple times, It just takes too much work to get that third or fourth nut. And then it gets back to almost being like work.

The DZ.com Addition.. How do you do it?? I have alot of Downtime at Work and find myself coming here Waaaay too much. Gimme some other ideas for passing idle time at Work.. (And don’t even bother suggesting anything crazy like .. Doing work.. Yuck!! That is worse than the DZ.com Addiction!!) Ideas for other time Killers/Wasters at the Office??

[J] Lets Serve these Bitches... The plates, I was referring to the Plates!! [Turtlespeed] I think I owe Beer for that!! [Sunshine] Why does this Cannon ball have a hole in it?? [With her finger in the hole] [J] This was a Prison.. It was probably a sex toy!! [Sunshine] He will be the Tall, Thin Goofy Looking one!! [J] If you Sneeze, Im Running!!

Happy Birthday Rosa. Hope it is a Great one.
