Well, since you seem so interested, I could arrange a private viewing for you, and then you could tell me where you get this whole Darth Vader thing from . Next time you're in South Africa, let me know . -- ZZZzzzz....

I said I'm circumcised, not stupid ! -- ZZZzzzz....

And there you just gave wonderful meaning to the phrase "See the world through different eyes" I shall find a mirror, or (better yet) a female volunteer with a knack for describing things. -- ZZZzzzz....

Well, it is more hygienic and does not look like a newborn rat wearing a balaclava (My apologies to Darth Vader). Every poll I have ever seen indicated that women preferred it that way. Should one need additional motivation?

*checking* No, I don't see the resemblance. Maybe it's because I'm circumcised (Which is great). This thread was not really hijacked, since many guys actually view the car as a phallus extention. -- ZZZzzzz....

Can I have some of what you're having?

I did. (You said please). Maybe you should have added "If you are of voting age and a citizen of the US". It would have saved me some bandwidth.

Would it make me a better person or at least amuse me if I knew why?

I wish I could tick the "I am sick of Iraq threads" option... -- ZZZzzzz....

I live far from the nearest DZ, and it only has a cessna. You can get one, maybe two jumps a day if you only have one rig. That will change, I will have more rigs, and will move close to a big DZ. -- ZZZzzzz....

I had no idea what you were talking about, but it made me look. -- ZZZzzzz....

Sometimes I refer to it as "the car", as in "Let's take the car" as opposed to walking. Or, " I need to put petrol in the car". When it gives me trouble, I sometimes refer to it as "the fucking car". It is a car, after all. I had a black Land-Rover Freelander my one girlfriend insisted on calling Darth Vader or The lord Vader, but then again, she also referred to my .... lets leave it there. We don't go out anymore. -- ZZZzzzz....

Apprehensively, I looked. I was hoping, against the odds, that it might have been another pic of your (after viewing the attachment, I can say this with certainty - better) half's bum. Gentlemen, for reference: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=694925#694925 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=783778#783778 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=783821#783821 Sorry Wally, your own bum just can't compete . -- ZZZzzzz....

It got me thinking too. Why would anyone who participates in a sport care about whether the "image" associated with it is cool or not? I enjoy skydiving for it's freedom, for the feel of the great glass pillow under my skin. I also play badminton in the local church hall with a group of people who are mostly pensioners every Monday and Thursday night. You can lose your eye playing badminton , yet all of us would laugh our asses of at the notion of EXTREME BADMINTON Everyone pushes the limits to the extent they are comfortable with. I'd rather see an entire dropzone filled with people with docile canopies following conservative landing patterns than see everybody attempt carves to win the "cool" tag some seem to attach so much value to. There are many more radical skydivers than myself out there, just like there are better pilots, capable of aerobatics I know I would never be capable of. I admire them all. I think the original post in the other thread was not well thought out. Congratulations. You are now Extreme and Cool. Here's your badge

You forgot religion. Politics, liquor, firearms and religion. Then you just need meat and a fire and you have a braai. Ian, sadly I won't make it this year . Next year maybe. -- ZZZzzzz....

Here's mine

Skydiving is one of the safest things I do..... -- ZZZzzzz....

Sexy, very sexy. Nice backpack as well..... -- ZZZzzzz....

Munkel, Purely out of academic interest: do you want him to "show the weenie"? -- ZZZzzzz....

It will all work out, man. Vibes etcetera. It passes. Drink some beers, go jumping (not necessarily in that order, or if so, not too closely spaced). It used to work for me

Well, I was known for having a large dong . I have since discovered that it still matters.... Seriously, none. High school is a small packet full of big peanuts and wanna-be-big peanuts. Many of the really amazing people I know today were "low profile" in high school. -- ZZZzzzz....

I have no "pet peeves". Life is too short to get peeved. Edited to add: maybe I can say that I get peeved with people who have the time to get peeved at toothpaste tubes incorrectly squeezed or toilet seats left up? -- ZZZzzzz....

I'd go with "Dog". Short, accurate and easy to remember. -- ZZZzzzz....

May I suggest an edit? Being an engineer and all.. ...throw me to the sky (at less than my air-friction corrected escape velocity) because I know I'm coming back."

Alana, I am still not a hottie. I'd love to post a pic here, but the thought of so many people printing it out to scare the children - "Eat your broccoli or the bogeyman will get you" - does not sit well with me. I did enjoy looking at all the other hotties here
