  1. Perhaps I misread your post, but it sounds like you had major line twists, not a bag lock. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. Just out of curiosity, did they give you a Take Up Skydiving speech? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. Perhaps I misunderstand the nature of these things, but I believe the problem with letting a guardian sign for a minor is that the minor can bring suit when they reach the age of majority. In this case (barring a miraculous cure for Down Syndrome), who would have standing to sue other than the guardian that signed the release? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  4. If I wear a red nightie, I want on the lingere jump with too. So no red nightie AND you're not on the lingerie jump...sounds like a win-win for the rest of us! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. That last one is awesome! Congrats 'Shell, have fun with him. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. I'd agree about Mendez. I think she's pretty but not hot. I'd say Longoria is fairly hot, but not stumble over my tongue hot. If I wrote a list of 50 hottest women, I doubt either would be on it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  7. Longoria is much better looking, not even taking into account the fact that she's 4" shorter than Mendez. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  8. Given that he was replying to "By definition, we're already militia", I thought he was referring to the definition, i.e. not by any legal definition (as opposed to common vernacular). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. 10 tandems, including one with my daughter yesterday for Father's Day. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  10. Yeah, not having met her, I still gotta agree with that.
  11. I'm not sure where you're getting a "rage" vibe off me. I posted a joke. Secondly, I'm relatively well aware of the Christian dogma, having been raised in a cultish-level Christian church and attended its private school for several years of my life. There are many issues I'm "clueless" about, but Christianity is not one of them. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. Actually I've become somewhat of a walking "barometer of conditions" at this DZ. Much of the time when I choose to sit down, so do most of the experienced jumpers. (Several have been students of mine, so that may account for something.) But funnier than that, my full time co-workers often seem to wait for my call too, and they have as much or more experience than me. After landing in challenging conditions, I've now come to expect them to seek me out on our short van ride back to the hanger and ask "So, what do you think?"
  13. Ha ha! The picture of Mike has been saved for the day I have a strong enough stomach to photoshop it with "play?" and submit to ihazacheezburger.com Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. Phreezone suggested I put this here. I know in the election cycle for the 05-06 USPA BOD, we had a seperate forum just for that topic. I don't remember whether we had one for the 07-08 BOD election, but I'd like to request that we have one for the 09-10 BOD. Thanks. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  15. It sounded like they were having fun when they DD'd me as I left for work this morning. I'll have to check that place out next time I'm in Vegas! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. It just takes time. Maybe try killing a kitten or two to pass the time. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. Nice one! The sad thing is, it probably took you getting in that airplane and then getting back out to convince 'em that was the prudent course of action. If you'd declined to get in the plane at all, you'd have probably ended up doing what we all do...watch those without experience gain it. I wish they would get it through their heads that if I'm not getting in the airplane, it's not particularly wise for them either. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. I'd be lying if I denied that. I hate landing in the airplane! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. If I remember correctly, he proposes raising capital gain taxes and income taxes on some pretty high earners (something like >$600k/year). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. Is anyone surprised? When he and the alleged victim and several of her family members denied it being either of them in the video, reasonable doubt is almost assured. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. ROFLAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At this point the noses and the rest of their faces are turning brown too... ~R+R... If the result of my vote included my face turning brown, well, something would have to have gone terribly wrong. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. I mentioned that being late was unprofessional, but I wouldn't consider 5 minutes particularly disrespectful, especially twice in the course of nearly a year. Then again, I was over an hour late to work today (granted, nobody was waiting for me). Also, being a few minutes late can be accidental. Cussing out an employee is intentional. Feel free to take as much shit as you like, but for 6 hours a week I'd walk, and try to leave a nice little shitstorm for the guy to clean up in my absence (assuming I didn't need a good reference from him). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. Well, it is out of line, but way out? I think you have to consider the industry segment. It's a music school of Rockfor children . Alternately, see changes above. I understand your point, as I used to be a commercial fisherman and am now a scientist for a multi-national, i.e. VERY different cultures. The thing that gets me is this sounds like what should be a reasonably professional environment (otherwise being a few minutes late wouldn't be a big deal.) Personally, I would kiss zero ass for a 6 hour a week job. Apparently my tolerance for disrespect is much lower than a lot of other dz.commers. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  24. So, umm...in consideration of your post, please pick the type of activity you would prefer before we head out of town this evening. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. What she said. If it's been long enough for the glue to wear out, the velcro can stand replacement too. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
