    To me, spam is the electronic version of junk mail, i.e. unsolicited advertising. It doesn't matter where they got their mailing list from, the fact that they sent it to me without even knowing whether I'm in the market for an AAD is enough to justify it as spam. That said, did you look at the attachment? The email contained a picture of a can of SPAM. That kind of says everything right there doesn't it? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    You're going to have to downsize quite a bit from that boat you're flying if you expect me to be able to spit your gear! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    No, just make sure that I'm jumping with you and wearing my camera, and that you pull high so I can get good video of the mess.

    Y'all people are crazy! Someone please explain something to me. Let's say I, a non-certificated jumper, buy a new Javelin, PD-R, and PD Katana. I have the components shipped to my house. I remove the RSL from my rig, remove the french links from the main and reserve risers, and connect the main and reserve canopies with soft links. For some stupid reason, I then bring it to a rigger instead of packing it myself. If you pack it, what regulation will you be breaking? Since I don't have a certificate, I have nothing at risk, and since all you're doing is an I&R, your certificate isn't at risk either. Similarly, if I want a new lineset on my main a few hundred jumps down the road, who's going to get in trouble for violating what regulation if I order/build a lineset, do the work myself, and then pack it up and jump it myself?

    I figure they had to get my email address from dz.com, though I don't know if they bought it or just culled it from my profile. In any case, I thought there were a couple funny points, most notably the photographic admission of the email's nature. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Wow...I mean WOW! This is one of the last threads I'd have expected to see take a Speaker's Corner-esque turn after only 3 posts! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    If Beck reads some of what I've posted here, she'll beat me with a stick. You say that like it's a bad thing. Think she'd auction off the rights to beat you with a stick? I bid two quarters. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    This is two weeks in a row that I've just happened to tune into the Bonfire for a night of unexpectedly entertaining posts! Blues, Dave (Though I do sympathize on the too young bit. My daughter will be 18 in July. I'll be 37 till December. I'm WAY too young to be a grampa!) "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I just realized what fantastic potential this kind of development has. There are certain overly combative, closed-minded, bigoted, abusive posters on here who I just have to imagine would finally see the error of their ways with one simple "Quit being such an asshole Dad!" post.

    Hey, she got twice the price that way! Just think of her as shrewd...or prude, whatever. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Bend it so my head is centered over my elbow, with my pillow in between the two. Unfortunately only one of my arms can hold that position without hurting and falling asleep, but luckily it's the one that naturally ends up there if I have my side of the bed.

    You flamed someone, baby. I can't remember who...although I may go back and look. rwieder? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I don't remember anymore...and I've still got a few years to go to catch up to your mom! I'm just feeling deja vooey, like I remember seeing you there at some point too. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Hola Becky. I could be wrong, but if I remember correctly you also tracked your mom down on rec.skydiving a few years ago, right? If I was you I'd stop right there. You'll make her head swell. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Mostly agreed. That can be a problem but it doesn't absolutely have to be. I wouldn't say no under just the right circumstances, but I would if things were anything other than perfect. Either way it's no longer something I'd actively seek out. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    As far as I know, my daughter does not know this site exists. She would probably be able to guess my screenname pretty easily if she did, but DAMN I hope it never comes to that. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Ditto, but include flowers, good meals, and other romantic gestures that all women supposedly want in addition to "some really good sex". There are a lot of myths being presented as absolute truths in this thread. The male fascination with threesomes is one of them. Sure, they can be fun, but they can also be very hurtful, and, quite frankly, way more trouble than they're worth. Similarly, being guys doesn't mean it's impossible for us to want more than sex from a woman who doesn't want more than sex from us. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    Not true for a wide variety of reasons. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't respect them, treat them as equals, and cherish the time you spend together (assuming it merits it), but there is much more involved in establishing and maintaining a strong, fulfilling relationship than those three things.

    Thank you so much for asking, but I'm sorry I have to decline. I'm just not ready for that kind of commitment. Aw shucks... That reminds me of something. Did I remember to thank you for giving me that blowjob? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    A resident of our city who doesn't like the sound of our C206 wrote a letter to the editor of our local newspaper in October 2001. His primary complaint was about the noise (he built his house next to an airport!), couldn't believe it was legal for us to jump at night, and said "This is exactly the kind of operation the terrorists are looking to exploit! In the bid to make ourselves more secure, we should pick the low-hanging fruit first, and this is obviously one piece of it." Or something to that effect. I thought it was hilarious. What do you think would happen to the stupid bastard who tried to hijack a jump plane? "Welcome to freefall!" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Maybe i'm getting old, but I could swear this post said something different earlier today... There's no maybe about you getting old, and it wasn't just that post that said something different earlier today. Bleus, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I left the Navy and made more money doing construction that I had in the service. I started college and paid for it with a job in the field I was studying (environmental stuff). That's when I went through my student jumps. I eventually got my degree and got a better job, and now make about 5 times what I did in the Navy. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    I don't know about that! It's tough to not notice an entire crowd of people stalking you! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I oppose same-sex marriages for completely irrational reaso... Oh wait, no I don't. I couldn't care less whether happy adults marry each other, regardless of their respective genders. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
