  1. I'd just like to point out that I'm more fucked up than you now, and still perfectly capable of typing a legible sentence. Yes, I had to read that statement 3 times before feeling comfortable posting it, but dammit, I'm right! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. My daughter, my mom, and myself...because we're smart but individually naive. Chances are one us knows whatever another doesn't, but it does cause some silly situations. Outside of that....interesting, honest, good-natured, open-minded people. Fuck the boring, lying, mean-spirited, closed-minded sonsofbitches. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. You like being so bossy...tell ME what to wear! (Suggestions will be evaluated on shock factor, humor, and ability to tolerate after-effects. ) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  4. Make that bolth halves. I'm in like Flynn. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. I'm torn between saying, "Well thenh don't cheat on CarpeDiam...problem solved" and "C'mere, I can apply a healing salve." Blues, Daver "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. What makes you think the purpose is to look cool or have fun? I like my tandems to be fun, no doubt about it, but that fun comes from the student, not the canopy. I've loaded up a main a little over 1.5, and will do so again given the right conditions. But my reason isn't looking cool or having fun, it's low toggle pressure, a very responsive flare, and at least a little familiarity (compared to what I jump on other skydives). The advances we've made in canopy design for sport jumpers shouldn't be denied to tandem students just because someone *thinks* they're dangerous. Let's look at some data before jumping to conclusions. Are there instances of unreasonably difficult chops due to canopy design/loading? Are there increased landing injuries on modern, more heavily loaded canopies? I don't know the answers to these questions, I'm just asking. My anecdotal experience leads me to believe I can land my students more safely on an Icarus 330 or 365 than I can on an old 425 or 500. Have others who've jumped these canopies reached similar conclusions? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  7. Did you seriously just type that? Did you ever cheat while playing hide-n-seek? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  8. Quoted for the same reason as Krisanne's first post in this thread. "Fuckerlicious"??! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. Make that two men's opinions, because I agree... Accept the same fee for all passengers - and only accept the passengers that are 1) Safe to jump with, 2) Appropriate for you to jump with... That's a nice thought. In practice it means the TI who's willing to go heavy is worn out sooner, makes fewer jumps and less money as a result, and goes through more jumpsuits from the higher-speed landings. Nice reward for being so accomodating, eh? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  10. Brilliant! Blues, Dave Krisanne - Think I could top it with ambien and wine? I've already got half the equation covered! "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  11. Hey... if the consequence of you kissing me, or you lighing one up in my house are the same, give it a go! I'm at 15 days without a cigarette. If the consequences of not smoking include you trying to make out with me, I'll head to the store for a new pack right fucking now! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. I've been trying to think of something good for the Atlanta party and Steve Irwin crossed my mind...but decided against it because I'm guessing it'll be a pretty common costume this year. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. I haven't a clue. Anyone got any good suggestions? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. Permission has nothing to do with it. Walt According to that definition, only married people can "cheat". However, a couple paragraphs further down the page, the definition of infidelity is expanded as follows: Please note the word "secret". It's kinda important to this discussion. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. So the concept of "cheating" is based on local laws. If you're breaking them, it's cheating. If you're not, it's not. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. Nope. The second marriage is invalid so the first woman you married is committing adultery and therefore cheating. Walt Why is the second marriage invalid? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. Cheating doesn't mean infidelity, it means "breaking the rules". If a particular couple's rules allow for informed, consensual infidelity, than such acts are not "cheating." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. No...by Slappie. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. I don't remember it being a "fall" so much as a "dive"...going after a hat if I recall correctly. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. 59 on my third try...and the second one shouldn't count as I was just trying to stop the ball on the ground, not start over. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. It would ring true, except...http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2473477#2473477 Does anyone else laugh when Bolton and the Administration say that Kim Jong Il is trying to negotiate with threats and intimidation and we're not going to respond to such aggressive tactics? What the fuck do they think we've been doing??! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. Fractured both of my wrists...was riding on top of the car a friend was driving (she was also drunk). She saw a cat darting out in front of us and slammed on the brakes while doing about 35 mph. I went into Superman mode, and looking under my left armpit as I went over the hood, I saw the look of shock on her face as she remembered where I had been. I had the sudden realization that she was going to take her foot off the brake pedal and I better get out of her way...hit the ground hands first, two flips, then dove off to the side just as she went by. Went inside the house and her boyfriend started waving a bottle of 151 under my nose, saying it would take the edge off the pain. That pushed me over the edge & I passed out.

  23. And when she's done with your's, she can help me come up with one. I haven't a clue where to even start. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. Only on good nights Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. I rarely go over there, as I usually end up pissed off. Nice video, how wide is your lens? It's always good when we can learn lessons without getting hurt in the process. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
