The place Phree mentioned pays for your domain name as long as you have your site hosted with them. Not to mention, get a few friends together, and you can make it even cheaper. I think we're down to $65/year dammit... I just washed my car an hour ago, and I just heard thunder outside.... Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

First the thesaurus crack, and now this one.... I knew there was a reason I liked you, Don. Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

Almost every dropzone has bumper stickers. Go, start collecting. Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

Barenaked Ladies? That'd draw a crowd of skydivers! Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

well that just seems way wrong. Shouldn't have been showed AND shouldn't have been sold..... what does it have to do with virgina beach anyway?! Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

what show? footage from his camera?! Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

This might be the Killians talking ... but what the hell is wrong with you?!? Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

before you buy from an online place (especially those grey-market places in NY) check out Reseller Ratings Read the 'real life' comments and reviews from people, and check out the company's rating. I trust these reviews a lot more than Gomez's or BizRate Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

I have nothing interesting for the first column:10:0 cool weekend. the weather was awesome, I met many many very cool people, drank lots of rum and dt cokes, beer, good food, and heard a lot of good stories. Yeah, the jumps were cool too Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

If the tag line bothers you (and I don't think it does most people) you can edit it out. Edit your post and you'll see it... notice no tag

Story This was from a few years ago. I like the line: His only comment Friday night when asked why he jumped off: “It's what I do.” Blue skies.... Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

And you call yourself a skydiver.... Everyone knows the proper wake up method is to point a fan at their face, then set off a dytter next to their ear. Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

FLA just loses the ironic humor that TLA has. Must be something with the computer industry... some lady asked me one time if we were "G2G" ... verbally said that... I had to think about it for a minute, and thought "you no shit had to shorten 'Good to go'" ... like Y2K - it's that kind of thinking that got us into the problem in the first place. Ignore what they say about saving memory, it was all about being lazy.... Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

You want the stills too? heh... jelly basket... and a knife to spread it with. Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

Have you not had enough sleep? You keep forgetting things - it was 3 kiss passes (4 if you count the second one by Spy) and you gave me some sugar. I always knew that line from Army of Darkness would work: "Gimme some sugar baby" Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

Please! I saw TWO bent rapid links from two different people this weekend. The threads weren't stripped, and they looked in good shape otherwise. Neither person complained of a hard opening recently. What does this mean? Well, my guess is they backed off enough, and these people actually made a few jumps with them not closed at all. The one wasn't bent bad, just enough that you couldn't tighten it back down. 2 of the other 3 rapid links were easily loosened with fingers. The other bent one I saw - the guy is lucky to still be here. It was bent into a "U" shape. I have no idea how it didn't just come off completely. I didn't get a chance to check his other links. There are no unimportant parts. Next time you're packing, check your links, please. If you're unsure how, ask someone who knows. Do the nail polish trick - put a dot of polish on the link and on the 'barrel' so if it starts to back itself off, you can easily tell. If you have one holding your pilot chute on, check that one too. Can you image what would happen if you turned to final at 200 feet and that link you didn't check gave out? Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

I knew there was a reason I liked you Don.... And Jess - the feeling is mutual..... I have more love for a 3 day old pile of putrid dog vomit And Spy - ... and you got to see boobies... do you need much more in a weekend? Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

I was actually going to post about this in the gear/rigging forum. They weren't broken - the barrels were fine and the threads weren't stripped. I'd say in each case, they just backed themselves off and were completely undone. Add a jump or two, and you have a bent link. The one wasn't bad, but was bent enough so that it couldn't be tightened back down. 2 of the remaining 3 links were loose enough to turn with fingers. The second person that it happened too is damn lucky to still be here. There is no reason the lines should have stayed on there... that thing was nothing close to an "O" - it was a "U" Not sure if anyone checked the remaining ones for tightness. Do the little nail-polish trick, you can eyeball them every pack job real easy. Oh, so my numbers: times I insulted Jessica 62:9:? I probably owe beer for something, I just forget what now. Had a good weekend of jumping (finally!) only had to slide 2 or 3 of them in. Met Spy38 (cool guy) and Jessica (demon spawn) The night jumps were pretty boring - out of 18 people, there was one butt-slide landing (which doesn't really count because that's how the guy always lands) and one biffed landing (which wasn't really that bad). Well, I guess the one friggin moron who landed 4.5 miles away from the dz added some excitement. At least they phoned in quickly and didn't make us wonder for 2 hours.... A pretty laid back weekend overall I think. Next weekend should be even better... Dogs don't know it's not bacon!

You don't scare me! I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!!

i thought HH disabled html in posts.... maybe that's a benefit of being a greenie.... Nice pic though.... got out of the way AND managed to keep everyone in frame... that's talent You don't scare me! I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!!

I'm guessing that's what Clay did too. Also, you're showing it TAS, most people talk in SAS (True Airspeed vs Skydiver Airspeed) About the space balls - from what I've heard, they actually have 2 speeds - 150 and 170 mph - if they see a big boy coming for his test, they throw the 150, if you're a little guy, they throw the 170. Make you work at the extreme limit of your range (if you can even stay up/down with it) You don't scare me! I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!!

Very sad news, blue skies. Thoughts with all SDC jumpers... they've had a bad year or so. Not to detract from the thread, but Chris, you said: .. and I just felt this needed repeating. Many people don't know how their cypres works. It's not 14 hours of inactivity, it's 14 hours. From SSK: http://www.pia.com/SSK/cyp16.htm You don't scare me! I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!!

When in doubt - buy beer. (or is that when in doubt - whip it out.. I always get those screwed up) Ok, so seriously - most dzs aren't real strict on the beer rules. It's not really supposed to be a burden - if you want to celebrate an accomplishment with like-minded individuals, buy a case and share it. Welcome to the sky. You don't scare me! I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!!

was that you saying me call couldn't be completed? then you hung up on me... hooker... You don't scare me! I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!!

Sweet.... what's your number again? You don't scare me! I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!!
