  1. That guy is dead! How is he affecting your internet interface? Look. I'm a decade older, but you still have to overcome my evilness
  2. DUDE! I drove and started drinking heartily once within my abode. Not everybody can fly their own aircraft home! Or are you posting from that huge keyboard on the left yoke?

    Phock.....

    Start a boiling pot of water, Skreamster, I may want some beef when I get there..... Haven't confirmed, can I stay on the couch after Herc or not? I can actually behave for normal people. I can tie my own necktie and everything. I once had a real, government-corporate job and everything...
  4. Wait, Bonnie, you have a whole different coolness tachometer than normal people. And did you know that Rikki saw Tom auger in behind the golf cart this evening? I like that guy, and Tom seemed OK.
  5. You have less than five minutes. Girls being put to bed. What do you want to know?
  6. You are so gay. You have tornadoes and massive trailer parks. Look at my sunglasses! Those are the newest Gatorz! Earthquakes mean nothing! And mudslides are not a danger until late October! Ha! Remember the Alamo! (from a distance!)
  7. Yeah, I love you Lisa, and I'm igonring Dave. Dave, you are in Texas. That's a handicap I will always be able to overcome. By default, we are cooler in Cali.
  8. Tell the freaking story, if you know it! I don't know it all, but this is the gist of what I do know. One of the Davis organizers rolled his Hummer2. He, his beautiful girlfriend and her beautiful friend were critically injured. Alcohol was involved. Booze is fun. Until it bites you. The driver in this case may never walk again Booze is not quite that much fun. The Jaws of Life are not always pulled into action for "other people". Be as careful as you can. Go as far into the redline without hurting yourself or others. Sometimes our friends show us where the red line is. Respect their sacrifice. Peace, love, out. JP
  9. Or: My first weekend seriously on the wheel. I did 7 tandems and one main-side AFF level 1. Not like fun skydiving, but still fun. It's nice to see my seriously fun RW and FF buddies giving me props for working the AFF and Tandem wheel. Thanks to Connie and the Byron crew for making it so much fun. Only did one fun jump today, a super coolio cross country from 15 grand. Very nice. Sierra Nevada Ale is crisp when cracked at 13 grand. So I'm told. Here's a pic my buddy Clay Bonavito took today, he's the video concession owner at Byron. Thanks also to Mike for coming out from the Ranch at NY. Really enjoyed having you, and hope you come again. Have Mike visit. He's a good RW flier, tells a good story, and buys his beer!
  10. Lew, if you searchthis forum, I found a canon plug a while back that was slightly cheaper than the whole remote release. It is an adaptor plug. Quade even color corrected the picture I took of the box...

    You are quite right! The feeling it gives me is like drinking milk from the carton, thinking it is a little off and seeing the expiration date is two weeks ago. See, the De Gaulles and the Pelletiers, my maternal ancestors, left the horrid place for a reason. Simply this: the wine is much better in California.

    Chr*st almighty duderon. You are CANADIAN regardless of how many signs you see in French around you.
  13. I think you have a bigger problem with "Confrim" You or I? Me. It's all about me.
  14. Well, the Pixie will walk into your trailer (she has keys to EVERYTHING at SDA) and put her hands on her Pantz-clad hips, look down at you in your bunk and say "I thought you were going to fly camera on load one". Then, under that glacial blue-steel gaze, I can get dressed and rigged (make coffee to deglaciate the gaze) and on load two at inhuman speed. Getting Pixiefied is not better or worse than getting Burked, just different. For one, Burke just doesn't look the same in Pantz.
  15. Josh! Very good! DINGDINGDING! We have a winner! Plus: Beer. Lubricate the process with yummy delicious beer.
  16. Oh, golly. I screw up so much I am really good at taking an ass-chewing. On the Holiday Boogie video, which you can purchase by clicking my sig line, , you can hear and see an excellent "Burking". One of the all-time great ones came out to see what the f*ck I was thinking when I downwinded (in about 20mph winds) at Eloy. "You gotta be smarter than that..." I was the Burkee.
  17. Bill, Amy's expression in some of those is a superconductor of fun. A great use of the belly cam.
  18. Yeah, like that one. I actually liked it once I got over the shock. -Thanks for the smile. Long day here.
  19. Stop it. It's leg humping at a world record attempt. Or you have to put your tongue through my skull and out through the other ear. Oh, wait. That second one will only work on me, Southern Command keeps a brain or something in his skull. So, leg humping. You're already in. The SoCal franchise will honor your membership.
  20. Lisa, when I am thinking mail order, I'm thinking from somebody sight unseen, and of classifieds, and the kind of jumper who knows he is getting something nobody will knowingly let him have. The entire point that I am trying to make is that from all the descriptions I have heard so far, nobody is surprised that this jumper crashed. That really bugs me. I don't know why all these A-type personalities, people who care, were somehow intimidated to step up and intervene. Not just "Dude that's a bad idea" but snitching the guy off to whoever was in charge that day. I simply cannot believe that any DZO/M, if confronted with "Hey,
  21. OK folks. The fuck him let him die stuff is what I am opposed to. It's in response to some statements by some folks that skydivers with poor judgement are going to kill themselves anyway, so why alienate them and their friends and lose business to the dropzones that will allow them to kill themselves. My point is to gang up on the DZM/O's who are looking the other way and force aggressive idiots off the DZ through economic pressure and guilt. Gareth: You know better. My point is that the 14 skydivers you take up on 10 loads a day are worth more to a DZ than the 100 jump wonder with the mail order VX90. And it hurts business. I think it's reprehensible to get tandems out the way we do, and then have them and their families see a helicopter evac. I am not directing my comments to any person or DZ in particular, but to the skydiving culture in general. I was a cop before MADD made drunk driving uncool. Making something people tolerate into something that they don't takes time and cultural/peer pressure. I advocate that we bring it.
  22. SkySurfCam SSC, I am a lazy typist. Dude, back to the original post, if you can get the shots, you can jump in pasties. It just hasn't happened yet at my DZ.
  23. Check with Aerodyne. We have one of their 350 tandem canopies to demo and it flies really nice.
  24. Neato, Bill. Thanks for sharing.
