  1. well both those were organized (Omar and Mike O.) but the wide range of tracking abilities meant everyone was all over the sky.. loads of fun zooming past that many bodies falling out, but it would be really cool to see an organized high altitude load with assigned slots, something along the line so a big way tracking attempt.. (anyone does this i REALLY want in...) we needed a sign "you must be this tall or have x number of tracking jumps to ride this plane"
  2. i was going to make a comment about lots of things seen moving low in the grass after hours, but suddenly its not nessesary.. no video so it wasnt me ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  9. not true, you could be refering to several members of the hairy branch of the adams family
  10. I got Apostrophe and Overnight Sensation as a dual album about 10 years ago. so do you think "Sheik Yerbotie" is a politically incorrect album all of the sudden? well as politically correct as Zappa ever was ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  13. I like to be as nice and calm and speak in a quiet voice as possible to people ranting like lunatics, or just anyone that’s really angry..(worked GREAT on Drill Sgts.) the condescending mock sympathy tone tends to make their blood boil..sometimes you can even watch their veins swell when they dont get the reaction they (subconsciously) desire its great fun! And an entertaining way to deal with A-holes in general..and of course if they get mad enough to swing (hopefully in front of witnesses) then they give me all the inertia I need to introduce them to less exciteable objects like walls and floors
  14. GREAT book!! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  15. I think any AFF or tandem instructor that passes a drug test should be fired immediately. Top THAT! I think pilot chutes should be illegal! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  16. dude that would SOOOO suck.. if only beacuse Eloy would become part of the Arizona bay ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  17. and there is the rub..good sci-fi also touches the things that science fiction does, but its primary intent is entertainment (and money making) ST & SW are both Sci-fi most of the time however they do occasionally become better.. Alien is Sci-fi (horror in space) as was Event Horizon ( a great ghost story in a new setting) there isnt anything WRONG with sci-fi, it just misses the "higher purpose" that seperates literature from pulp. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  18. good book! although i prefer his shorter (and episodic Sandman rules!) works better.. it almost seems like he hasnt learned to pace his lovely descriptive tone to the longer novel format..some parts of AG really dragged (but were still very well written) ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  19. nah i borrowed it from Harlan Ellison. "Sci-fi rhymes with iffy and not likely to happen.." really briefly but i'll dig up the essay for you too Science Fiction takes a real world scenario/situation etc and extrapolates/transposes it to an extreme local (future, distant planet, alternate universe etc) to examine a specific idea out of context for social/philosophical discussion (and entertainment) ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  20. Well, I can't speak for you, but mine will be hard to pry out of my cold dead hand... (to use a pro-gun super-cliche well i'm glad someone creamed that hanging fastball
  21. your on sir!! i'll bring my 220 and my 226 (i prefer the 226 actually) Glocks just feel like toys! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
