  1. A mixture of debt reduction, a purchase or two, and travel/fun. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. LMAO! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. I worked my way through school and occasionally received tuition reimbursement from my employers. This meant I didn't have to take much in the way of loans and I paid them off before I graduated. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  4. livendive

    fuck work

    No, lucky would be if I'd been able to just stay there and jump all day. Instead it was a quick demo and I'm back at work. I'll agree on the bastard part though. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. livendive

    fuck work

    I'm going skydiving. (and then coming back to work) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. Ugly as sin. Could the designers have puked any more plastic onto the thing? It's like an Aztek on a truck platform instead of a mini-van platform. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  7. What he said. I'm opposed to the whole concept of testing people who haven't done anything wrong just to see if you can catch someone who has. I see no difference between such a practice and allowing police to periodically walk through our homes unannounced, just to see if we have any drugs or stolen property in our possession. I think our founding fathers were opposed to such practices as well. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  8. Spoilsport! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. OK, you win. On a more serious note, check the distance between the back of your leg straps and the bottom of your rig and think about the possibilities of an inadvertent deployment while sitflying. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  10. Damn... If I can get down to 95mph in a track, the rest of you skinny bastiges should be hitting 80's. Who the fuck are you calling a "skinny bastige"??! I'm somewhere in between a heavy weight and a puffed up middle weight, and I can pull a 92 average in a regular bootie suit... as long as we're only measuring vertical speed. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  11. I'm not sure why you think scholarships are only supposed to be for under-represented groups. My company gives away a few scholarships a year to children of its employees. Do you see that as being inappropriate as well? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. hmmm....where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, 4 posts up. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. I know two people who got DUI's a couple years ago, both got interlocks installed as part of their "punishment". The one guy got a normal one and would go out, get hammered, and then start calling around to find someone sober who would drive to wherever he was and start his truck for him. The other got a much cooler one...it had some sort of voice recognition software built into the computer, and rather than blowing into the tube, you had to talk into it, thus verifying that it was *your* breath being analyzed. Plus, you had to blow into it at least every half hour or so while driving, so you couldn't just leave your car running while you're in a bar, or get drunk while road-tripping.

  14. Am I misreading the new definition? I saw the words "natural phenomena" and I didn't see anything about the supernatural. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. Just one more? How about four more? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1228962#1228962 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1073356#1073356 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=154366#154366 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1074080#1074080 Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  16. 0 I was mistaken for him several times in high school, had people ask for my autograph, etc. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. Am I the only who saw the humor (sort of) in this? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. Pop quiz - What's the "total velocity" for someone tracking halfway decently (square root of [vertical speed^2 + horizontal speed^2])? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. Wow! I'm not the only one! (I've seen a couple of them, but don't remember which ones I've seen and which ones I haven't) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. I posted a few last month, in a similarly titled thread, here Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. Well, the wedding of my own family member or close friend would be important enough to blow off an event that happens every year. In this case though, it's his girlfriend's sister, not his. In such a situation, my decision would depend on a) how important it is to my girlfriend that I go with her and b) how important the girlfriend is to me (just dating? or serious potential?). I hate going to the weddings of people that I don't know or barely know. Sometimes it's a necessary evil, but not always. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. I don't like to think about it...probably around $200/week on average (1 person), including coffee but not including alcohol. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. :2:0 Crappy weather. 2 tandems was all. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. Dude, you can't give him all the credit. Your rendition of an engine was top notch! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. I see your point, but, technically, the military is a branch of the government, and a reduction in its size is a reduction in the size of government. Really? That must be because he needs as many as he can get his hands on. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
