  1. i thought that's what this place was for? well that and altitude...its like air induced shock theraphy...not much 13k of fresh air wont cure... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  2. go for it! tell me when and i'll go with you... i used to spend a good bit of time distracting them from the women who were already under enough stress without others trying to impose their morality on them.. until you are willing to say "i'll adopt your unborn child" you shouldn’t badgering anyone else about their decisions... the "mile in your shoes" certainly applies... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  3. by your definition nearly every work of figurative art (male or female) is pornography. that is a rather sad, uneducated point of view.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have no idea what response you expect me to give you here. do you not understand the difference in emphasis? if already have 2 calenders of skydivers, (and i do) why would i want another? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  4. sort of like your implying that the way the calendar was originally explained is 'undignified' sorry but i think your completely wrong as to how successful the calendar would be if it contained everyday dz pictures or everyday skydiving pictures that happened to have women in them.. like it or not breast cancer is a very physically debilitating disease, a calendar that celebrates the female form tastefully, not pornographically by your narrow definition of porno is very appropriate for the cause and will certainly have broader appeal than one that has pictures that will really only appeal to other skydivers and in many cases not even then.. as i asked before is it about 'Women who skydive' or 'Skydivers who are women' ? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  5. no you were called a troll because you implied that an unnamed manufacturer's gear had some sort of significant defect that caused your wife's malfunction and then refused to supply any sort of information to back up that implication. sorry but that pretty much qualifies as 'trolling' and if you dont understand why that alarms and offends many people, the 5th word i quoted applies to you... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  6. well there are also those of us who happen to have severe symptoms at say 2 am with no 24 hour pharmacy around... its not like they couldnt have just trained cashiers in grocery stores to not allow more than 1 purchace of 'risky' items at a time... and report suspicious repeat offenders... geeeee that might have made sense... soon i'm going to have to start paraphrasing my plt sgt.. "stop making sense, this is america where thats not allowed" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  7. You say that like it's a bad thing... nah just pointing out there are quite a number of people who 'might' be rednecks ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  8. my favorite is If you've ever used the O in a stop sign to sight in a rifle.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  9. damn remind me not to vote for you ifyou ever run for political office, ever... talk about prudish opinions..... i guess pretty much every beach in the world (and a majority of fashion shows and black tie/dress dinners) are porno too? yeeesh.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  10. no point your mythos are meaningless to everyone but you. you cant even credibly stretch them to cover this in the first place ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  11. probably a tandem... which is why i always bitch anytime someone who has done a tandem calls themselves a 'skydiver' no you were cargo, the guy/girl behind you was a skydiver.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  12. pencil whipping anything is wrong.. i did a few h&p's during the crappy months (when i was around) so i was reasonably current on landing and canopy control, but i did take the chance to get some ff coaching while i was in eloy to dust off my skills and make sure i wasnt starting over with bad habits... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  13. so skye did ya bang some heads and rattle the cages as to why their own resident skygoddess didnt get any input? and fix the silly errors too?? just kidding...great to see swooping in a mainstream magazine, just wish it was a little more mainstream so i could pick on up while i'm stuck in texas... oh yea...you rock chicka! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  14. already like that in WA... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  15. iirc correctly there is already a bill in the works in NJ requiring gun dealers to only sell guns with the chips installed once they become available.. i wouldnt go with the inplantable chip, but i know alot of people who thought the original ideas using a special ring or bracelet would be useful. of course they could be stolen, but honestly how long does anyone think it would take before there was an easy way to 'spoof' the chips? if its not implanted its FAR easier to upgrade to prevent that from happening.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  16. not sure how much time you have, but you should go thru the Bandhavgarh National Park at some point... everyone should try to see tigers in the wild...while they still can.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  17. well you said not from 13k but this view always takes my breath away..... screen captured from vid by Andy Farrington ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  18. honestly over the last 15 years or so i've become really really terrible about b-days, holidays etc...i just cant stand shopping for specific dates/events... generally if i run across something that reminds me of a friend/relative/lover, i'll just get it and send it/give it next time i see them.. so no one really expects anything from me on any particular day, but i usually manage to find something to give everyone thruout the year... i'm pretty much the same...i'd really rather have one thing i ten years that was really cool or really personal than any number of 'expected' gifts... things just dont matter to much to me, never have beyond their utility, so i'm usually giving/lending my stuff to whoever needs it when i'm not using it...thats about the only reason i have for keeping things, so i can share it with others when the need arises, so i do have problems 'cleaning out' from time to time....you never know when something will become useful again.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  19. hoping to come out and cheer for Team Xaos and watch all the sick moves they've been practicing at Eloy and Kapow... also gotta swing thru So Cal for someones 'carve day' and see if reality matches the late night spiel... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  20. recently got one from Eloy for a girl who i'd met in a bar a few weeks before..luckily i was out at the DZ the day she came to jump so she put me down as the referrer... free jumps rock! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  21. if he's sitting at the bar he's not taking up a table... i tended bar and waited tables thru college at Outbacks and a strip club in FL.. so i know what kind of shit you have to put up with... i always start at 20% and go up or down depending on service... of course i'm pretty low stress customer too so... luckily never had to deal with the god squad on sundays at outback (no lunch) but my roomates at the Olive Garden hated them.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  22. need too, hopefully the paperwork shows up in the morning otherwise i'm doing the extension thing.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  23. 210 but no..Hell is a christian myth and doesnt apply ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  24. not sure what this means, but did you check your gear first? had you tried the cutaway system? the only one responsible for your life once you get on the plane is you, if you didnt verify your gear worked and worked properly you have no one to blame but yourself and sueing yourself is rather pointless... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    Chess

    ok i'm totally addicted to kungfuchess...but i'm pretty sure there are a number of people 'cheating' ie using macros to move several peices near simultaniously.. have to figure out what they are using to program them, because you can easily lose that game by being slower, no matter how good you are at 'real' chess.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
