Replace the "Dave" with some drizzled rasberry sauce, and you have a much better image going... no offence Dave... Sonofa.... The raspberry is a nice addition, but dammit, I'm getting screwed on this deal! Or, more accurately, NOT getting screwed! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Yeah, and whipped cream would be a poor choice for the choco I and Dave have in mind... too fluffy for the pure choco decadence we are thinking of... Agreed. Orchid...you and I are gonna have to wrassle in creme anglais instead of whipped cream. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I prefer hexadecimal to binary, I'm only 24. In any case, it's not the age that counts, it's the mileage...which does me no good but might help someone. :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm out! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

LOL - The thought had crossed my mind... Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Pretty accurate, though it'd almost have to be since they pretty much just incorporate the text of each column I selected. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

OK, I used to work for company X as the "subject matter expert" (SME) for a particularly misunderstood bit of environmental law. Company X laid me off about 15 months ago and gave that role to someone else. Well, this morning, one of the researchers I used to assist wrote me an e-mail asking for help. I gave him a cursory opinion with lots of qualifiers and copied the environmental compliance manager of Company X, with the note "So and so (on copy) can point you in the direction of the current SME who will be able to assist you further." The manager wrote me back with I thought it was pretty arrogant of him to try to shush me, considering I don't even work for them. Anyhow, a few minutes later, my replacement wrote the researcher a response, copying me and his boss, verifying my opinion, but immediately thereafter making a substantial error. A couple deep breaths, a good lunch, and then I sent an e-mail back correcting his mistake. I didn't include a "hah!" at the end, but damn I wanted to.

Ya gotta like the honest ones; here's one incriminating Slappie. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

After the whole Dating Sucks thread, I've decided I'm going to hang out in the Pub tonight instead of going on a date. That'll be tough to do if the pub's still broken. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Damn. And I thought I'd made your day. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Mission accomplished. I accept you for who you are.

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

A cross between the first two options. I'd buy a jump plane and hit the boogie circuit, but would likely also host my own boogies in exotic locations at cost or less, and would also likely start a dz or two that would serve as my home base. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Do me... I want to see if you two come up with the same answer. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

For the same reason I stayed in special ed in school...for the chicks! Seriously though? I guess I have to echo D22369's answer. It's a unique environment to hang out with current and prospective friends. Whether I'm taking up a tandem or AFF student, doing some sort of RW (zoo, hot, or big, they're all fun), freeflying (I still suck), CRW (can even talk to friends!)...whatever. I'm sure that's not all of it, cuz I like hop & pops, swoops, and solo cross countries too, and even occasionally terrify myself with solo freefall from altitude. I guess it's just the escape. When the ground is coming up at me at 120+ mph, or a couple little straps are all that stand between me and certain death, trivial little things that seem so important down here lose their relevance. Sometimes it's an escape, sometimes it's a destination. Either way, it's a nice place to be. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
