It's not really a choice. You *have* to pay your dues, or you don't get to jump anywhere. You don't *have* to be a member of the AOPA to fly a plane. And being a USPA Group Member does not make a DZ more safe. I've seen some insanely stupid and dangerous things happen at member DZs. Regularly. And their group membership has never been revoked. You pay your money, you get to call yourself a group member, and the USPA gets to start a museum. I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag

Just my opinion, but I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe he doesn't have the specific results, maybe he doesn't want to accidently give false information. Just stating that there were tests done, and his (negative) interpretation will just have people watching for the information I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag

I'm assuming you meant his reserve collapsed. To answer your question - the minimum to cut away from a downplane? Why? It goes into a downplane, cut-away. There's no sense saying "well, it just went into a downplane at 150 feet, and that's below the min, so I should just ride this in" You realize that in a downplane, you're screaming at the ground at 60 mph - you won't live through that. Cut away, and hope your reserve planes out (maybe help it a little) I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag

And soon to be flying the airplanes as well! See you guys out there tomorrow, bright and early. I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag

The owners of SGC happen to be the contact person for that Westwind, and that Westwind can be found flying at SGC on occasion (like it flys at many DZs on occasion) - but it's not ours. Jim and Lee are good people, I think they're just helping the owner find places to fly it, and it's a safe bet that they're not making any money themselves doing it. Flyboy - So that's a Cessna?! (No, we're not spoiled little smart-asses at all, are we?)

The Man Code 1. Thou shall not rent the movie "Chocolat" 2. Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella. 3. Any man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his fellow partygoers. 4. When you are queried by a buddy's wife, girlfriend, mother, father, priest, shrink, dentist, accountant, or dog walker, you need not and should not provide any useful information whatsoever as to his whereabouts. You are permitted to deny his very existence. 5. Unless he murdered someone in your immediate family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours. 6. You may exaggerate any anecdote told in a bar by 50 percent without recrimination; beyond that, anyone within earshot is allowed to call BULLSHIT. (Exception: When trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration rate rises to 400 percent) 7. If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off-limits forever. 8. The minimum amount of time you have to wait for another guy who's running late is 5 minutes. For a woman, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 scale. 9. Bitching about the brand of free beer in a buddies refrigerator is forbidden. You may gripe if the temperature is unsuitable. 10. No man is ever required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering a friends birthday is strictly optional and slightly gay. 11. Agreeing to distract the ugly friend of a hot babe your buddy is tryingto hook up with is your legal duty. Should you get carried away with your good deed and end up having Sex with the beast, your pal is forbidden to speak of it, even at your bachelor party. 12. Before dating a buddy's ex, you are required to ask his permission and he, in return is required to grant it. 13. Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to pick a buffalo wing clean. 14. If a man's zipper is down, that's his problem --- you didn't see nothin'. 15. The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer. 16. A man must never own a cat or like his girlfriend's cat. 17. Your girlfriend must bond with your buddy's girlfriends within 30 minutes of meeting them. You are not required to make nice with her gal pal's significant dick-heads --- low-level sports bonding is all the law requires. 18. When stumbling upon other guys watching a sports event, you may always ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing. 19. When your girlfriend/wife expresses a desire to fix her whiney friend up with your pal, you may give her the go-ahead only if you'll be able to warn your buddy and give him time prepare excuses about joining the priesthood. 20. It is permissible to consume a fruity chick drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless supermodel... and it's free. 21. Unless you're in prison, never fight naked. 22. A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight. 23. If a buddy is outnumbered, out manned, or too drunk to fight, you must jump into the fight. Exception: If within the last 24 hours his actions have caused you to think, "What this guy needs is a good ass-whoopin", then you may sit back and enjoy. 24. Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while weight lifting: "Yeah, baby, push it!" "C'mon, give me one more! Harder!" "Another set and we can hit the showers." Nice ass, are you a Sagittarius?" 25. Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both. That's just plain mean. 26. If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you better be referring to his beer. 27. Never join your girlfriend/wife in dissing a buddy, except when she's withholding sex pending your response. 28. Never talk to a man in the bathroom unless you're on equal footing: either both urinating or both waiting in line. In all other situations, a nod is all the conversation you need. 29. If a buddy is already singing along to a song in the car, you may not join him...too gay. 30. Before allowing a drunken friend to cheat on his girl, you must attempt one intervention. If he is able to get on his feet, look you in the eye and deliver a "F*CK OFF!" You are absolved of your responsibility. 31. The morning after you and a babe who was formerly "just friends" have carnal, drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason not to nail her again before the discussion about what a big mistake it was.

'Here may be found the last words of Joseph of Arimathea. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of aaaaaagggh' What? ...The Castle of aaaaaagggh What is that? He must have died while carving it. Oh come on! Well, that's what it says. Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to carve 'aaaaaggh'. He'd just say it! Well, that's what's carved in the rock! Perhaps he was dictating. Oh, shut up. I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag

File size is usually your limiting factor. Not sure there's a lot you can do about it. Bunch of small captures? Or change OS. Make sure you're using FAT32 - that should help a little. See if this works... Mac OS HFS 2 GB Mac OS HFS+ 1000 GB Windows Me , 98 SE, 98 FAT 2 GB Windows Me , 98 SE, 98 FAT32 4 GB Windows 2000, NT NTFS I000 GB Pinnacle Systems has Studio 7, a nice little video editing package that will let you capture in "preview mode" - it takes up a lot less space on your drive, and you can capture an hour or 2 at a time. The down side - when you make your final product, it'll ask you to put the tapes you used back in, so I can recapture the clips you use full quality.

There are DZs that aren't USPA members, if that's what you're asking. Although I've only been to one such DZ, the rules weren't any more relaxed than any other place I've been. Actually, I'm sure it's safer than some USPA member DZs that I've visited. I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag

well damn, that shouldn't be too far of a trip from Frankfort! good god.. what I have I created with a deleted thread? So far we've had Monty Python quotes, much boobie and nakedness talk, mention of toothless women (as long as they're 4 feet tall and have a flat head, I'm there!) ... all that's left is beer and skydiving, and this thread should be done!

ARTHUR: If you will not show us the Grail, we shall take your castle by force! GUARD: You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! ---Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person.

Or "Defective End User" Funny story about computer people and our never ending supply of acronyms (too many TLAs - Three Letter Acronyms) - not that we have too many or anything. Ok, so that's how I could remember PCMCIA - People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms... but anyway, to the point... the lady I worked with that kept track of our trouble calls would mark "FU" on the sheet if she Followed-Up with the user to make sure their problem was fix. No one really thought anything of it until a user saw their name on the call sheet with "FU" after it. I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag

No no no... it's an old Pamalayian symbol for "Closure" Hehe.. PEBKAC.. haven't heard that one in awhile. I always like DEU, or ID-ten-T Anyway.. I don't think most people laugh at wuffo's to their face, they just add another good story to the list to tell their friends. It does happen in other areas of life. I usually give them a few seconds, answer them truthfully, and see if they want to do a tandem. Here's the funny thing - almost all these conversations start with the exact same wording. "Wow! What's it like? I could never do that!" I've never understood the "I could never do that" part. Why not?! I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag

Haha! Pulled out of their ass! Or drained out of their ass! Maybe leaked, dribbled, vacuumed.. I'm not really sure how that works, I just had this mental image of some guy (or it could be a girl) squatting over a graduated cylinder ripping a semen spewing fart and then exclaiming "Wow! That's up 581% from before!" I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag
