  1. A friend of Chrissy's became a CPA and after less than a year quit to become a full-time skydiver. 4 years later he went back to college to become a computer geek. I'm pretty damned sure his lifetime salary as an accountant wasn't more than 50% of what his accounting degree cost him. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. While I do believe these replies are merely validating her effort, your's was very, very good. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. That's absurd. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  4. um... ok... this is kind of um... wrong some how... it would seem that her goal in life is to upset people... I don't know if it's her goal, but it's definitely her profession. If she didn't make people feel something strongly (be it agreement or disagreement), she'd quickly be out of a job. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    OUCH :-(

    Last time before maintenance? Here's yer hug.
  8. Probably more. I saddled in at 400-450' several years ago and got a 15 second canopy ride. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. Ha ha! Going to anagrams of "Slam piglet U", "Must Pillage Skydiving" is pretty good, but nowhere near as funny as "Slit Plumage Skydiving". Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  10. I like it! But wouldn't it kinda render the whole "When slam pigs fly!" thing moot? We'd have slam pigs flying every weekend! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  11. Handsome is as handsome does. Form follows function. It's a beautiful machine optimized for heavy lifting at very low speeds. In other words, a great jump plane. Don't be dissin' the Porter. What he said. The Porter needs slightly more runway than a helicopter...that makes it cool in my book. And it's WAY better looking than a Skyvan! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  12. There's potential there. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. That made me google it. Now that I know there's such a thing as "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride", the original suggestion seems somewhat more inspired. Alright Krisanne, you get points for it. Without the reference, it just seemed kinda silly. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. And, in a single sentence, you've pretty much deconstructed the "fashion" industry. Well done! Check it out... Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. Works for me too. So we've got five in favor of Cloud 9 Skydiving, plus one person says it'll draw less IRS attention. We've got three in favor of Mr. Todak's Wild Ride, plus one person who says that's not a legal name (I seem to remember reading that a business name can't include the real name of the owner(s)...don't know why ) Any others?

  16. Happy birthday Iwan. I hope you get just the pair of wooden clogs you've been waiting for. I think they'll go wonderfully with your schoolgirl outfit. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. My daughter gets most of my stuff, but a certain friend gets my skydiving gear. The catch is that he first has to get current enough at jumping without a drogue that he can successfully organize and participate in my ash dive...and yes that's specifically written into my papers. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. That blues make me feel alive, but deaths make me feel the blues. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. When we moved my grandparents in 1993, I found a packet of yeast that expired in 1963. My first order of business when I visited my grandma was to go through her fridge and throw out all the old stuff...expired dates or moldy leftovers. The Depression had quite an effect on people. Edited to correct tense Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. I usually have a bottle in my fridge, but I don't know what for. I can't remember the last time I cooked something that I wanted to put ketchup on. I don't know if it has an expiration date, but I usually throw it out and buy a new one each time I move. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. Buy a Mercedes with automatic windshield wipers, load the trunk with explosives wired into that circuit, then drive around Florida during the rainy season. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. I remember something like that in Texas a few years ago, but without the doctor/son angle. A guy hired an instructor & Cessna, climbed to 9000 feet, and then jumped out (sans rig) while the instructor had the controls. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. Opinion-piece writers design their pieces to provoke strong reactions, both for and against their position. You gave her exactly what she wanted, proof that people read and care what she writes. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. Off the top of my head, I think this makes 8 tandem students who have died since last August (2 "landing" incidents, 2 exiting their harness in freefall, 2 in the Otter crash at Quantum, one drowning, and this one). I'm knocking on wood as I type this, but that just might be enough to draw some attention. Are we seeing a statistically significant increase in tandem fatalities or is it just an outlying year? I don't know. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. Almost 48 hours Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
