Absolutely not. I'm, well, one of the other friends. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

A bunch of us skydivers went to a party last Friday night. From left to right are JD (a dz.com lurker), Roy (D22369 here), me (with the no-look shot...I got mad skillz! ), and Lee. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Hmmm... seems you have more reflective, thoughtful moments online, but that could just be because I didn't get to see that side of you considering all the drinking/skydiving/carousing we were doing that weekend. That makes sense. "Boisterous Dave" was running almost 24 hours a day that trip. The only times I remember my calmer side coming to the front, you weren't around. Almost to a tee, tent stake/door incident being the notable exception. I didn't see that one coming. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

LOL! Can we define how long "at first" lasts?! Does it end when the first words are exchanged? Edit to add: So, did my real life personality match my dz.com personality? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I think the motorcycle riders were involved in some sort of film shoot. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Excellent! Must do that to someone soon...and I have the perfect victim in mind. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Make sure you put it in the correct rig. I don't think it will work in the other one. I got a used CYPRES last month. Haven't installed it yet, but I will sometime within the next couple months. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Done that. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Plus then you can get on MadJohn's Team CYPRES loads. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I concur. A lot of the stuff that seems significant down here seems trivial when a planet is rushing up at me. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I really don't know if I'm the same in real life as I am here. I kinda think so, but I actually don't know how people perceive me here or in real life. I suspect "smart-ass who's too easily caught up in details with a serious helping of dorkiness thrown in, but otherwise a reasonably decent guy". Obviously, I could be way off base. Hmm...I wonder how many feelings would be hurt in a thread asking for "honest perceptions of respondents, online, real life, or both". Theoretically not many, because nobody should post to it who's afraid of hearing the answers. Realistically, almost none because very few people respond to threads I start anyhow.

Oh shut up. You're nothing but a cum guzzling gutter slut with an 8-dick-a-day habit. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I suspect you're getting out of the range for which an apology will be sufficient, at least for some people. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I quote this one all the time in real life. It usually goes over like a lead balloon and I never care. I give exactly one extra chance. My version is only slightly different, "Don't ask the question if you don't want to hear the answer." Most of the rest are funny but oh so true. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

What about for someone who has a slew of tandems and no interest in learning how to jump on their own? Hypothetically speaking of course. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Good wine, watching a movie, getting a massage, snowboarding alone in powder with some good music on the headphones, hanging out with friends... the list goes on. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

"No way in hell" and "No, he scares me"... those were the responses to the question "Would you have sex with this guy?". If you take offense at that or think they were being mean, I have a hard time believing you've been around skydiving for 18 years. I heard much worse in my first year. By the way, nice job dropping a C-bomb in your first post. What were those things you said about "lashing out" and "karma"? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Actually, no. First of all, you weren't lampooned or ridiculed, at least as far as I saw (that may change as a result of your response). Secondly, the women who I am not good friends with are the first ones I expect to say they wouldn't want to have sex with me. My friends would probably break it to me a bit more gently. If I was in a bar, and someone asked some random patron if she'd have sex with me, I'd expect a much more blunt response than if I asked a female friend if she'd have sex with me. But that's just me. Your mileage obviously varies. LMAO Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I don't have a ready answer for that one. Insufficient brain capacity is not a problem all of us are accustomed to considering. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I have SO got to remember that. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I have one standard response to this kind of complaint. Awwww, you poor wittle.... umm, person. I just realized I shouldn't use the full standard response while you're taking everything so seriously. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Dude...chill. I REALLY REALLY REALLY wouldn't have sex with you. Sorry, but you just don't fit the criteria I look for in someone I would have sex with. Does that mean you should respond with bitching or throwing insults around? Nope. It just means that everybody can't be into everybody, and you're one of the people I'm just not that into. Don't be offended if others reach the same conclusion. We've all got our own likes, dislikes, and pet peeves, and they're usually formed long before we meet someone. That's just life. I'm sure there are plenty of women (and men, for that matter) who are or would be into you, otherwise you wouldn't have been out buying condoms last night. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

My daughter's mostly grown...she'll be 17 in a couple months, and she's pretty smart and reasonably tough. I can't say the same for my friend's 10 year old or all her friends who live very close. That's what I was trying to say. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

So I hear all about these community notification things, but haven't ever actually gotten one. Today that changed; I guess I owe beer. I have a nice little letter in hand from the city that says a level 3 sex offender is moving onto my street, my block, in less then two weeks. They've included his picture and the fact that he's been convicted of molesting a 5 year old girl, a 6 year old girl, and "communicating with a minor for immoral purposes"... a 16 year old. He declined sex offender treatment and is considered a high risk to reoffend. Anyone know what "Community Custody" is? Apparently he'll be on it for the next 36-48 months, which I suspect means that he'll just be on parole. The only good news in the letter is that he's 5'9" and 145 lbs. At that size, I imagine my daughter could take him almost as easily as I could. Unfortunately another dz.commer lives two blocks from me and she has a 10 year old daughter who's found plenty of girlfriends in the neighborhood to play with.
