That's an awful lot of O's...and I'm told that's considered a great attribute in a whore. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

And what makes you think Dave wouldnt invite her to play as well. It's kind of cool having friends who know me well enough to reply in my absence. Edit to add: I would change that "wouldn't" to "hasn't", as the possibility has already been considered and agreed upon. Hey, with a reputation like Paris has, the opportunity could arise any day and one should be prepared for it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Tears...laughter....screaming....thank you god! This SOOO surpasses "mildly alarmed"! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I don't hate her. I don't know her and her actions don't affect me or mine. I think she's kind of hot in a rich & slutty but entirely too tall sort of way. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

That's what we do. IAD to the C&P followed by AFF. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm guessing that by mode he means the conditions at which it will fire, ie one higher (1000ft) point when going at freefall speeds and one lower point (700ft) when going at serious-canopy-malfunction speeds, like cypres student version. Well, in that case, I have to disappoint him. There are no two modes. The student cypres will fire always at the low speed. The only difference is if he is under a sniveling canopy or in a standup or headdown, it will fire at approx. 1000 ft and not at 750 ft. Imagine that a freeflyer is still in headdown at 1000 ft and he jumps with a studentcypres, it will fire at 1000 ft. The studentcypres fires at a certain speed. In a belly to earth position at 750 ft. In a position where there is no burbble (vacum) at his back, it will fire approx 250 ft higher. Hence why your and mine cypres will fire at approx 1000 ft when we are for example under a sniveling canopy or in standup. CU Jurgen I think you are confusing two very different issues. The expert and student CYPRES both take into account the burble behind a belly-to-earth jumper's back and will fire at approximately 750 feet AGL if it is perceived that the jumper is still going greater than 78 mph. The student CYPRES has an additional set of criteria that, when met, will trigger it to fire at a higher elevation (1000 feet AGL) and lower speed (between 29 and 78 mph). Not having the low pressure burble behind the back as a result of being vertically oriented can indeed trigger a high firing on either system. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Oh, and what the hell is BSMD? EH! That my line! I thought it, just didn't post it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Like a kid saying, "I bet you can't tickle me"... Sorry Marv, I mean Remi, I'm not so easily baited into doling out punishment. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Has he yelled "Pineapple!" yet? For some reason, I think Marv Albert summarized Remi's response to this thread best. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Alright... Since you stayed on topic, and I found your opinion helpful, I'll tell you.

There is an unbelievably high correlation between lack of semen and lack of logic. Giving a woman my jizz is just my way of trying to boost her logical abilities. I'm such a giver, always trying to help out in this regard. (Note it's been determined that it works best as either an oral supplement or as a vaginal or rectal suppository...dermal application just doesn't seem as effective, though continued studies are recommended if for no other reason than entertainment ) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Throws a mean hook too! The price is wrong, bitch! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

If she was black, uneducated and from Compton she would be doing the 45 days....or a better guess would be six months. For driving on a suspended license? My tattooed up, uneducated, part Samoan brother is a total fuck-up, with some grand theft autos, identity thefts, and numerous drug and weapons charges under his belt. It took a combination of them at the same time and his 4th or 5th arrest before he was confined for more than 30 consecutive days. As for the others in this thread...I think the fact that she got out of jail so quickly is kind of hot. She just moved up a couple notches in my book. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

This has led me to be more chivalrous in that setting, albeit in a nosy manner. If I'm getting an oil change or something and hear the guy(s) giving a woman the run-around, I have no qualms about butting into the conversation and telling her to ignore them and why. It started a few years ago when I overheard Jiffy Lube milking a middle-aged woman for over $400 in maintenance on a car getting its first oil change. As soon as she said it was new and she didn't know the required intervals, they set the hook and started reeling her in. I showed her the schedule in her owner's manual and talked her back down to a $23 oil change. The guys then charged me for wiper blades and didn't replace them (though they did give me a refund the following week). Did you catch where she said this? I think she knows she'd get more value out it as a trade, but prefers the feeling she'll get out of being charitable. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm guessing that by mode he means the conditions at which it will fire, ie one higher (1000ft) point when going at freefall speeds and one lower point (700ft) when going at serious-canopy-malfunction speeds, like cypres student version. Yes, that's what I meant, though you have the parameters reversed. On a student CYPRES, the "freefall" firing parameter is just like the expert version (78 mph, 750 feet), and the "malfunction" firing parameter is higher (>29 mph but

Those of us with daughters, mothers, and significant others don't actually want them stranded in remote places. I wouldn't worry so much about a son or my dad, but I wouldn't want any of those estrogen bearing types driving something undependable when the money was sitting in savings specifically for the purpose of avoiding that! Edit to add: Extra credit for the 14 muscles I pulled getting this foot into my mouth? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I suppose it depends on what kind of car it is. My truck is worth about $10,000 as a trade with 125,000 miles on it and has never needed *any* repair except for the time I slid it into a jersey barrier on black ice (not counting tires, brakes, belts, bulbs & fluids). Gotta love the residual value of a Toyota, even if you do have to pay for some of it up front. I gotta say though, I do like the basic concept of a woman starting to shop for something new at around 100,000 miles, especially if it's not known for a high mileage lifespan, and/or she's doing it smart, the way you are (earning vs. paying interest).

Can you blame them? We've spent the last 5 years surrounding them. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

That's usually the case for the student who will be jumping first, but not for subsequent students. Edit to add: (and by "usually", I mean in my experience. In recent years, it's been rare for me to have more than one S/L student on a load, as all but the biggest students jump IAD) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Well, Rob, you just proved the point. No instructor of whatever topic should tell a student that they are not cut out for it (whatever topic). I prefer my students remain alive, albeit retired, to feeling the guilt and self-doubt that I suspect comes with one dying. If I have to hurt some feelers in the pursuit of that goal, so be it. Telling someone who panics at 3500 feet and waits for his AAD to fire that his stress response is probably better suited for mountain climbing or scuba diving than skydiving is within my comfort level. Some people need a pause button when confronted with a problem, to collect their thoughts and decide on a path forward. Skydiving isn't particularly tolerant of such respites.
