    Rush's obesity aside, he'd at least stand a better chance at fighting through the pain...pharmaceutically speaking. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I enlisted in the Navy at age 17 while only a junior in high school. Went to boot camp during summer break and then played reservist one weekend a month during my senior year. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I was "not dead Dave" a few years back. Radio station sent a guy out for a tandem and then turned it into a "war of the worlds" type gag in which the student and instructor died. Somehow that made it over to the west side of the mountains (Seattle side) and people were calling and emailing like crazy wondering what had happened, expressing condolences etc. In fact I think I was briefly on the fatalities page...and I don't think I even made that jump! In any case, that one faded away and I haven't gotten a replacement. One of our local jumper's last name is Love. His nickname is "man-boy". :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    Outside of the multiple manufacturers issue, aren't there some TSO problems? e.g. Everyone's talking about how great the Sigma harness is. Would it be legal from a TSO perspective to use it with an older model Vector? What about combining the issues...i.e. using a Sigma harness with an Eclipse rig?

    Am I the only person with the song "Groovin" by the Young Rascals stuck in their head after reading the title of this thread? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Me too, that's why I'm willing to relegate it to a coin-toss. It's so much easier to extract my girlfriend's opinion on the matter with a quarter than with a half-hour of Q&A.

    Those answers come from the female side of my relationship. I've figured them out though. I'll narrow her choice to two options, and when she says "I don't care", pull out a quarter for a coin toss. When she realizes it could easily go either way, she stops me and picks one. It's funny how the mere appearance of a quarter can make her suddenly care one way or the other.

    Worth repeating! Personally, I neither lie nor tell a woman what I know she doesn't want to hear. I simply dodge the question. "What was that? Huh? Hey, smells like dinner's burning...I better go check on it." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    We will still not take "whuffo" children on tandems (or any other skydive) till they turn 18 because of the liability issue. Note I'm referring to "whuffo" children. My daughter has been hanging around DZ's for several years now, knows how to pack, knows the tandem videos verbatim, has done homework assignments on skydiving, etc. This BSR change happened on 7/18/2004, which just so happened to be my daughter's 16th birthday.

    I took a dying, wheelchair-bound amputee on a tandem a couple weeks ago. He brought a notarized statement from his doctor stating that he was medically capable of skydiving and fully aware of his substantially increased risk factors.

    That means you'll be coming through the Tri-Cities about 30 minutes after you cross the Oregon/Washington state line. We'll be jumping at Richland Skysports that day, but more than likely shut down by the time you get up this way, and quite possibly all in bed by then. Multnomah Falls just outside Portland is worth a snapshot or two. Mt.Hood is a bit out of your way but doable if you want a late afternoon hike (and don't stop elsewhere first). If you're taking your time, hitting wineries in Willamette Valley or breweries in/around Portland might be fun. The drive from Tri-Cities to Spokane sucks, but it's only 2 hours, then the scenery gets nice again. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I was mistaken for Kevin Bacon numerous times while I was in high school, like people actually bothering me for my autograph, so can I claim 0?

    We have two dogs, one boxer and one english bulldog. The bulldog, Gracie, is hands-down the funniest dog I've ever seen in my life. I can't watch her for 2 minutes without laughing. Still, our boxer Ally, though somewhat small for her breed, demonstrates all the traits that make boxers the best. Intelligent, cautious/guarded without being overly defensive (she only barks when there's a decent reason to), sweet, athletic yet capable of just chilling, and short-haired so shedding isn't a big hassle.

    ...last time I checked, republicans controlled the house of representatives and the white house. Why are you two arguing the same point? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    How do you figure? And why does that immutable, universal code of conduct have to be theistic in nature. I'm an atheist, yet I still adhere to a code of conduct and do not take a "to hell with everyone else" approach to morality. Who says someone needs to grant us those rights? Inalienable simply means no one can revoke those rights. a) I do not know any person who wishes to "destroy religion" b) I am not convinced that religion makes anyone more moral than they would otherwise be. It's possible that some people would be less moral without a threat of eternal damnation, but that says more about their character than it does about the value of religion.
