Record it, and play it back louder and slower - maybe then you can understand it. (a lot of Americans seem to think this works for English anyway...) it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

That's the position you're in at pull time, right? Unless you're Erk with a Cobalt - in which case you say "Hey ya'll! Watch this, and get video! It'll be cool!" it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

No, the "shuttlecock position" is what they used to call belly-to-earth. Of course. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Yeah, I only hear you the old farts use 'shuttlecock' anymore. Edit: forgot to add - fuck you Don! it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

So I'm playing Trivial Pursuit last night, and one of the questions is something like: "What term for a skydiving freefall position derives its name from its similarity to a badminton bird" Does anyone actually use the term "shuttlecock position"? Viking - maybe, but I don't see anyone else in freefall looking like a shuttlecock. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Heh... I can't believe I'm going to pull an Ivan here - search through dz.com and wreck-dot... SDC has more than its share of detractors. Put a well known, controversial, aggressive, loved/hated, ex-con DZO in with a super high volume DZ with more than average number of fatalities... it's bound to get ugly. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

They'll probably only need 1 Playstation 3 to do the same thing... http://www.gamespot.com/all/news/news_6083656.html IBM's 'super computer on a chip' they've announced. As the rumor goes, they're going to sell it to Sony for use in the PSX - and that in turn will help them become more affordable. Or at least help them fund the seriously powerful version of the chip. We'll see. Should be fun though, and may even destroy Moore's Law. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

BSA went out of business awhile ago IIRC - then back in? The only things I can find similar between the two sites is to call Comfort Inn to stay, and ask for the skydiver discount. So, I guess it is possible they're part of the "Skyride Network" I don't think the owners are the same though - Jack Walter owns BSA. Ummm.. yeah.. the rep seems to be pretty bad. Read some of the reviews here on DZ.com to get a good idea. It's not that great of a DZ (facilities are ok, landing area sucks, people don't seem that friendly at all) and the questionable business practices of the owner pretty much seals the opinions of most people. I find it funny someone keeps saying "Thanks for the publicity" ... I really don't think this is one of those cases where even bad publicity is good. I could be wrong. Skydive Chicago used to get raked over the coals all the time - but for completely different reasons. And those reasons could even be argued, you could convince people on either side. And it wasn't just the loyalists trying to convince you it was a good place. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Even if you 'selectively bomb' the terrorists, and don't hurt any innocents, another terrorist replaces the one you killed. So the only solution, obviously, is just to kill everyone. Even the dogs. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Speaking of movies - I watched the Gypsy Moths last night... interesting skydiving movie: "... the chute we use is a paracommander - it's a very advanced type of chute. You have to make 15 sometimes 20 jumps before you can try this baby" Of course, I was expecting the guy to meet back up with them at the end, and the whole thing was just a hoax/stunt to make even more money. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Nah... just jump a Beech 18, and stand in the door as the people in front of you pull them selves up and fart around awhile. I'll be the guy standing well clear, then running and diving up into the door to keep the oil from getting on my lense. Heck, I might even man the fire extinguisher while I wait. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Thanks - I've been pretty much doing what everyone has suggested so far - it's just frustrating because I'm not getting anywhere. I actually just got off the phone with the Dr's Office (actually, their accounting group) who originally screwed all this up. They are, or course, claiming I'm SOL - they claim they didn't have my insurance information, they claim they tried to get it and couldn't (back to that having the wrong address problem) which is really annoying because no one else had a problem getting my information or submitting a claim. She kept saying "Well you're responsible, you recieved the services" - uh, yeah, how was I supposed to know someone was going to screw up and not give my information or correct address?! I have an address now to make an appeal to my ins co - we'll try that I guess. it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

But the ins co has a policy that they don't pay claims submitted more than 15 months after the service date - and I can understand their reason for that. Isn't it actually the Dr's Office that screwed up because they didn't submit it back then? it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality
