  1. The recipient always loses. Not fair, but that's Life. Good luck! D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  2. Check out Skydive Chicago's Swoopfest and Summerfest photos, pp. 17, 30-3, etc. Handsome dz-commers are well-represented. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  3. (shhh, Chris! the Bears won today, too. appease the Gods ...) D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  4. Today we just suck a little bit less, is how I see things. Wes Head, freeflier, and his beautiful wife Amy, contributed to the effort greatly. Blessed, D. James Nahikian CHICAGO (OMG, it's almost hockey season!!!)
  5. Pigs are flying past my window. Time to plan that ski trip in Hell. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO (Harry C. has put in a good word for us sinners)
  6. Definitely colder and winder here today than in Hell. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  7. 1 Down: 4-2, Cubs. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  8. NL/CD champs! D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  9. Visit that forum at least once in your skydiving career, I suggest. This simply is another "Smoking-Related"-type Incident, and it properly belongs in the Incidents Forum with the usual posts. BTW, where did the deployee receive her training? _That_ fact is most important. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  10. HH: I suggest that you move this thread to the Incidents Forum, as customarily is done with similar events like the Perris "Smoking Incident." D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  11. I'm still trying to get my Ipaq 3650 with expansion jacket, Sierra Wireless 510 Aircard, Motorola engineering buddy "tweaks," Targus keyboard, and Sprint Wireless Service to deliver as promised > 3 years ago. (Clue: witness my numerous dz.com edits.) Hope your deal works out better than mine did. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  12. Where did she receive her student training? D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  13. I presume this is a first on the part of both jumpers. DOUBLE BEER! D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  14. BTW, thank you for a job well done. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  15. Two deaths from a moderate distance. What sticks in my mind though is the mental image of my highly-experienced out of town friend hooking it in less than twenty yards from where I was standing. We were supposed to be doing a two-way together, but I was sick with the trots and missed the load. He was sure to be pissed at me so I was standing in front of manifest to buy him some jumps after he landed. Well, he landed with an angry hard hook which resulted in an enormous bounce, and no one who was there at the time could fathom how this guy managed to survive that impact. I can still hear the sound -- and his cries. He doesn't come around our place anymore. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  16. You got a meal and some drinks on me at Summerfest, Brother. Say hi, and CONGRATULATIONS. (now go save someone.) D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  17. Almost certainly fatal, I hear. Think Felix will try _that_ next? D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  18. So ya'll can get us serious altitude, right? (doan wanna listen to excuses.) D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  19. ... and the look on his Monday Morning face when he sizes-up your closing pin necklace versus his divot replacement/club groove cleaning tool. Priceless! D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  20. Shoddy. They omitted Foolin' Around With A Married Spouse, which statistics could convince you is a not an uncommon sport. Dangerous until human beings figure out how to outrun shotgun pellets. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  21. (+) = Signal to noise ratio = Pervasive encouragement = Stewardship by HH and moderators = File sharing facilities (-) = Self-annointed illuminati = Manifesto writers The complete listing of (+)'s outnumbers the relatively few (-)'s by a much, much greater margin, to include the actual saving of human life and limb IMO. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  22. Sebazz, I had the same problem until I threw my Tevas in the dishwasher with liquid Cascade. Another dz.commer suggested this, but I was highly skeptical and waited until after I had tried all the other recommended approaches with less than satisfactory results. A good dishwashing, sans dishes, should give you at least one month of fresh-smelling Tevas, just don't share this information with your houseguests. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  23. Columbus seems a little icky _______________________________________________________________ That's because Columbus _is_ icky. They dream of being Wolverines, a status far beyond their ilk. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  24. Congratulations on joining our family. Now that you're a jumper, BEER! Please post the photos, once these become available. We'd like to share in your experience, and this also may help other nontraditional jumpers in the future. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
  25. Be sure to compliment Sunny Che on her new, stylin' jumpsuit, too. D. James Nahikian CHICAGO
