  1. THINGS THAT I HAVE NEVER SAID IN A SENTENCE, DRUNK OR SOBER: 1. Indubitably 2. Specificity 3. Loquacious 4. Oh, I just couldn't. No one wants to hear me sing HMMMM...1 and 3 don't pass the spell check...i was pretty worried about those two...maybe if i was a lawyer and and could fake bigger words! i can't say #2 now, but let me get some drinks in me and i'm sure i'll ace it in no time! And #4, i never hold back! MTV, here i come! b
  2. it's not all about schmoozin...you gotta put in a handful of guilt too if you want the best results (guilt works best in catholic families) I got off pretty easy. Sure i'm bailing out after opening presents on the 25th, but my mom is ditching me over thanksgiving to go on a trip with her sister. We've done weird Christmases before, but NEVER missed thanksgiving. No turkey for Billo? Unacceptable!!! So i just guilt-tripped her on that one and she soon had no problem with my departure time to Eloy... good luck! b
  3. 0:0:0 *yawn* just a lazy cloudy weekend here! Got 3rd place in a poker tourney friday night, and saw one of my fav bands "legendary pink dots" last night. No complaints! Now i just gotta get off my lazy butt and get my main & reserve packed before my SL-I course next weekend!
  4. Hmm...this seems like it's been a previously busy little thread...and i never got to make a footprint in it so why the hell not! And no, i have no recent pics for my username...I promise i'll get something scanned in soon! O well time to stop mindlessly post-whoring and get some sleep!!!

    Productivity

    Knockin on the CRW forum? What a low blow! And to think I almost let it pass one by...There was a CRW newbie post in there this week so maybe it will pick up for a few days! But hey if it is occupied, you're all more than welcome to join in! come! feel the power of the dark side! crew is good, crew is great, i want to do crew, i want to start hanging out in the crew forum more, crew dogs are the greatest, i want to be a crew dog grab it or wear it, b
  6. Hey Adam! Welcome to the dark side! CReW rocks. Listen to everything your instructors have to say and love every minute of it. You'll learn more about your canopy than you ever imagined. Mismatched canopies can be cool if things are planned VERY carefully, but it may still fly like shit. 2 stacks are do-able, but it will get hairy when you have a 6 stack made up of various 7 cells, 8 cells, and ellipticals. For the time being, let's not worry about that! You could spend a good evening reading up on the posts and all the links that you'll find in this forum. There is some quality stuff. I think this forum has a pretty small audience on dz.com so any posting/activity is more than welcomed! I don't mind Prodigys - that's what I learned on. If you have someone else to do some good safe learning with who has a Prodigy that'd be my first bet. If nobody else has one i'm sure we'll figure out a way to make it work. Again, welcome to the dark side!!!

    Punkin Chunkin...

    LOL the pics remind me of the "big guns" era...just imagine if we had pumpkin howitzers during the war... b
  8. I got my Parachutist yesterday, but where is my Vicki's catalog??!! Hmm...maybe they don't have my new address...maybe it will get here tomorrow...maybe the mailman stole it...maybe the roommate already snagged it...no wait, she never picks up the mail...maybe it will come tomorrow...soon...we shall see!!! LOL "that's natural instinct. You can't teach that" b
  9. Hmm...ya gotta wonder on the effectiveness of this one. Do you really think he got any that night? But hey Amber, if you think it is a "perfect costume" and would be willing to "partake," then i suppose i might be able to whip something up for halloween next year!!! (or even better yet, at couch freaks next year! ) b

    Medical careers

    YEAH BUDDY! Count me in! Is the 2 year degree just called "nuclear medicine"? There are no pre-reqs or anything like that? I already have an engineering degree, so i can handle the physics and calculus even though i wouldn't enjoy taking any of it again. But sounds like a good deal!

    Punkin Chunkin...

    holy crap! i can't believe they manage to shoot those things nearly 4/5ths of a mile! impressive website, i just wish my computer was a bit better so my streaming wouldn't be so crappy! b
  12. So something exciting DID happen tonight after all! Some friends wanted to call up and go see the flick. If you like the show, you'll like the movie. If you don't like the show, don't bother! I thought it was hilarious! If anyone goes to see it, make sure you stick around to see the "reminder - don't do this at home" deal...a LOT goes on after the credits roll! LOL i usually only laugh that hard when tracking away on good skydives! "you see how i deflected that beanbag with my chest? That's natural instinct. You can't teach that." b

    For some reason

    black and tan specials at almost every bar that serves guiness. YUM!
  14. I wish there was more going on tonight! I've considered putting on my costume for the trick or treaters, but that sounds like a lot of work for only getting one or two kids coming by...i don't even know what time they are supposed to show up at! Here's my pics from last weekend - we won 1st place in the costume competition!!! You can see me on the far right side of the stage behind the DJ (you know, i'm the one in the purple jacket.) This is the first set I've had emailed to me, i'm hoping for one where you can actually see my costume! "candy is dandy but liquor is quicker!" b
  15. and i won't get to be back there till next spring?! noooooooooo!!!! *snif snif* *sob sob* b
  16. Let's see - 12:1 girl:guy ratio? I knew there was a reason that Hinckley is worth the drive!!
  17. Do you think this move will impress the girls in my yoga class? b
  18. Yeah Ag i saw it and enjoyed it. A buddy from work lent it to me last year on VHS. Definitely a DVD i wouldn't mind finding in my stocking this year! I only watched it once, so sorry, can't do any quoting wars with you! b
  19. Speaking of "mike's," has anyone else seen the "evil head" commercial for mike's hard iced tea!? LOL it is sooo funny! I found this link to it: http://www.ads.com/ads/adInfo.jsp?ad_id=2535&us=342362&pt=0 But it's not as clear as a version a friend at work showed me. If anyone knows a better place where you can download it (not just stream it) let me know! The evil head cracks me up! "i didn't know mike's made a hard iced tea!" LMAO too funny...
  20. Remember that scene in that movie "the abyss" where the guy's ring saved his life when he was in that big underwater thing, AFTER he had tried to flush it down the toilet and his hand got all blue??? Lesson 1: Don't stick your hand in a toilet, or put a ring in it for that matter Lesson 2: Don't flush it, cause it could save your life. wait... Who the hell am i kidding?!?! Put it towards jumps and beer! When it all comes down to it, what else is there? b
  21. 7 (oompa loompas) : 4 : 0 jumps were good but the best was saturday night - i got to be willy wonka and 7 other cf's were oompa loompas! We rocked every bar we went to! Won $200 and a 2 hour limo ride for 1st place costumes at the bar, so it helped pay for the costumes and we're planning a big party in November! i'll post pics when i get them - did anyone else go as something good for halloween? OOMPAS ROCK!
  22. 0:10:0 Great 1 year wrapiversary weekend, no complaint's here!!! Just livin the dream!!! b
