  1. Actually, I agree. I was just playing devil's advocate because I think it is good parents who make good children. Our President is such a fucktard in so many other respects, the fact that his daughters haven't joined his war doesn't even come close to blipping on my radar.

  2. By example? By instilling a sense of duty? With what the country has given them, I'd say they kinda owe it something in return. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. I'd guess their parents are largely to blame for that. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  4. That is a totally fuck-up thing to say. . Was I the only one who saw a sarcasm tag around what he was saying? I'm pretty sure he meant approximately the opposite of what he said. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. Exactly. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. Cutting edge technology to make the world a better place. http://www.glumbert.com/media/irack Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  7. That might be close enough. If you imagine the DZ's with sufficient undivided real estate, e.g. Prairie, I suppose you could establish a DZ rule that defines the different areas, e.g. north of the school for swooping and south of the loading area for regular patterns...or something along those lines. They're kinda one big landing area in appearance, but at least it would get to the intent of the BSR. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  8. Care to try and massage that into something as specific as the other BSRs? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. The hot tub was pretty cozy with 5 nekkid people in it...good thing we had someone else to fetch more wine! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  10. Let's see... March - Dublin Boogie (already done) April - Easter Weekend at Richland Skysports (quasi-boogie) First weekend of August - Lost Prairie Boogie First weekend of September - Silvertip Skydivers boogie Last weekend of October - Halloween Boogie, Skydive Atlanta All weekends in between, West Plains Skydiving...hopefully we'll put on a couple special events, but nothing is finalized yet.

  11. Only sort of. I'll be in town, but it's the last weekend I have to myself till November, so I'm going to be selfish and keep it that way. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. Those pictures cannot be posted It's ok Bolas...I'll post mine. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. Thinking back over the years, and the ratio of times you've crashed at my place versus me at your's...seems like an awful lot to zero! As for the original post, just about any visiting jumper will get at least one invite to crash in my spareroom or on my couch. My impressions then determine whether they ever get a second. An ex I was with for a few years made me suspend the practice, but I eventually left her and put it back into effect. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. Just look what happened to Libby. So it is just "to avoid prosecution for lying under oath." Oddly enough, I'd choose a different route to avoid such problems...just tell the fucking truth. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. Why do you suppose Bush will allow his staff to talk to Congress, but not under oath and only without transcripts? I'm guessing Limbaugh et al must have formulated some sort of talking point answer other than "to avoid prosecution for lying" by now. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  16. I was thinking Jamaica. Me too. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. So...where we gonna party? Continental US or someplace without so many damned rules? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. Hmm, not here. Plenty of places where I still can get XP. I need a new laptop myself, but all I really need it to do is check email, run a small database (access), and print first jump certificates. I'd like it to be able to run a seperate monitor outside the school so instructors/students can see what load they're on and who they're with in the queu. Ability to occasionally edit video would be nice but isn't necessary. Given this, I'm hoping to get a discounted machine that wasn't built with Vista in mind. I mean, XP was good enough last year...why not now? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. What's that saying we hear so often from GOP supporters? Something along the lines of "It shoudn't bother you if you have nothing to hide." I think the fact that Bush is fighting on the issues of oath and transcript is more telling than anything else on this subject. He's expressed concern that if Rove has to testify under oath, he'll no longer be able to give him "candid advice." The man truly has no concept of the balance of powers. Oh...and if this somehow gets fast-tracked to resolve before the end of this term, I've got Miers throwing herself on the grenade. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  20. It was good meeting you, man. And people say I look nothing like my avatar... Edit to add: (OK, so it's only two people who say that ) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. Yup. That's why I'm waiting until I've got 20 years in the sport to get my skydiving related tattoo (assuming that I can still jump 3 years from now). That's about when I feel it will have been a part of my life long enough to warrant having a representation of it on my body. I picked 10 years for the same exact reason. A couple years later I still haven't gotten around to it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. Because doing so would require I care about who wins or whether he's on it. Given that I don't bother watching the show, I'm damn sure not gonna put in any or effort toward voting on it. This post alone was more than enough of both for me this year. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. "You either don't know what I'm talking about or you play dumb really, really well..." Blues, Dave A moment in time I most certainly will never forget. I can't believe I was dumb enough to not put 2 and 3 together to make 17 when I saw the outlaw t-shirt. Remember this post? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. Ya think? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
