  1. It'd be nice if our politicians would learn this lesson. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  2. Then that is not answering the question. What is 2 + 2? "If I had an extra 1 then it would be 5." Is not answering the question. No, it's more like: Q: "What is 2+2?" A: "In decimal? 4." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. Stop humping my leg, Remi! And maybe try some deodorant for a change, you stink. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  4. I'm somewhat of a social misfit, but my friends are the best. Granted, I don't use the word "friend" as loosely as many other people do, but when people get that close to me, it's specifically because I like them. I can't imagine having a "friend" like you describe . . . mine wouldn't treat me like that and I wouldn't think so poorly of them. Sure, none of them are as perfect as me, but we're all close enough.

  5. No, I was thinking in the voice of the retarded kid in the movie "The Ringer". Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  6. You talk funny. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  7. You bastard. You basically just asked me if those jeans make your ass look fat. Agree or disagree, I'll be in trouble. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  8. Seriously? I think just the opposite. Aniston seems like a down-to-earth chick who would be fun to hang out with even outside the sheets. Angelina, by contrast, seems like she'd be incredibly high maintenance, taking hours to get ready, complaining about the slightest flaw in her make-up, expecting everyone to worship her, complimenting herself in bed, etc...aka all things "Barbie". Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  9. Fail again. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF A STUDENT THREW A SHOE AT YOU? Simple question, you look silly avoiding it...And you still get an "F" It seems you're the one failing now. He did answer the question, albeit with an "if". It's not his fault if you had a different, unspecified "if" in mind. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  10. Personally, I'd try harder for a stable exit & drogue deployment. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  11. The guy in the office across from mine just sold a PSP on ebay to a gal in England. He started to get suspicious when she said it was for her son who was in Nigeria, and could he please ship it straight there. He got a message like your's from PayPal, figured it was legit, and went down to the post office to ship it. They saw the shipping address, asked if it was electronic, assured him it was a scam, and told him that if he liked, they'd log it in (provide shipping confirmation) and then hold it while he verified he received payment...which he opted to do. Today, he saw that he hadn't yet received payment, so he called someone at paypal to see about releasing funds. They asked him who the message had been addressed to, he said "Dear PayPal Customer", and they said it was a scam, that they would never send a message so addressed. He's headed down to the post office this afternoon to pick his package back up. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  12. Jennifer Aniston is much hotter. She's 3" shorter than Angelina, and she didn't recently have two screaming bowling balls fall out of her vagina. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  13. You know.. you won't look stupid.. you just fit right in with the rest of the bunny hill sitting on your ass frustrated as hell the first day.. The sitting on your ass is the easy part. Catching heel side to get to your ass (and toe side to get to your face) is the challenge. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  14. Question SkyMama carefully about the ski-boarding vacation she took to CO a couple years ago. Then DON"T do what she did! Or at least figure out who is going to wipe your ass for you BEFORE you break both wrists. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  15. I've only been skiing twice in my life, and once was just down a street by house, but I've been boarding for nearly 20 years, if that says anything about how fun it is. And yes, you probably will, but will anyone notice? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. I don't do charity fucks. If the Big 3 want me to buy their vehicles, they should build vehicles I want to buy. It's called capitalism, and like most things, it breaks down when you reward poor performance. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  17. Nothing too serious. Took a gal up on a tandem in a U206 with a friend diving after to sting her. When I got in the door (student hanging outside), my friend yelled my name, and I grabbed my reserve pilot chute as it was headed out the door. Got back in the plane, landed, grabbed another rig, and took off again with the same gal. At about 100' there was a loud BANG!! and we were suddenly in a high-angle turn back towards the runway...I asked the (new at the time) pilot if we were landing or crashing, but he was a bit too busy doing the former to answer me. That poor girl actually came out again the following weekend and we finally did her tandem jump...she did FJC the next weekend and got her A-license before getting preggers & leaving the sport. Still, I give her credit for doing what most people probably wouldn't...tempting the whole "third time's a charm" thing. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  18. They're getting into a sport in which there are nine men for every woman, i.e. stacking the odds in their favor. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  19. Maybe I should buy it cash then. Nah...cash withdrawals on credit cards have higher interest rates than purchases. And maybe the reason Citi approved another card is they're bumping your interest rate like they did to a ton of other customers in the last few weeks? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  20. Along those lines, if it's someone you like and they're wondering why you're pissed at them, it's ok to tell them you had a dream they hooked in and they BETTER NOT DO THAT! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  21. Heh heh...you said "bugger". Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. So in California, a woman can't marry another woman, but she can marry your sister company? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. We've got more than one at my dz, yet I still found myself going to one in Oklahoma for a reference just a few months ago when buying a parachute from a FNG. I've played escrow for a few prior students now, and like having that ability to protect them...and my reputation, which my students reflect on. Personally, I've found that a good reputation is easy to earn in skydiving (dz.com notwithstanding), but a bad reputation is a bitch to outlast. With the number of parachutes/rigs I own, I'm certainly not going to risk my (questionable) reputation for one more. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  24. And if enough people do that, the dealers will go out of business and the manufacturers will raise their prices to reflect their increased staff who are tasked with dealing with the public. Part of the reason manufacturers have lower overhead is they expect dealers to run interference with Joe Consumer. It's much easier for the manufacturer to handle a few phone calls a day from a knowledgeable network of dealers than exponentially more calls from far less knowledgeable consumers. Keeping the manufacturers off the phone and at the sewing machine is good for everyone. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. Yep, there's been a bit of an odd circle going on. Not only is Toyota now making the type of cars they replaced, but they're now doing it with an American workforce (while their domestic competitors farm the work out to Canada and Mexico), and somehow doing it more profitably (or less lossibly ) than their competitors.
