  1. That's what freaks me out too. Michael Jackson wants you son to spend the night. Why on earth would you say "yes". I have ceased to be surprised by the depravity of humans, but I suspect these folks sacrificed their son for the big paycheck. Who would be sicker then? MJ or the parents? Yick.
  2. Stop it. With free beer, that could be a recipe for disaster (Hang on, I gotta get my camera...)

  4. Dang, wrongway, if she had also said something about conservative American politicians she could have reduced Gareth to apoplexy in attempting to respond to your post. Just the organized religion thing got him misspelling.

    Next week.

    Yeah, but don't you have to live in Oklahoma or something? If I have to wait a couple more days and get to live in California, I can wait a couple days.

    Next week.

    I got my tracking number too. It'll be here on Monday. Drat. OK. So for you folks watching at home, that is order faxed on September 9, confirmed on September 11, delivered on November 24. That's about 10.5 weeks. Demand is high, so get your order in early. I'll see all you flockers in Eloy!
  7. SudsyFist did a great Cartman, but he hasn't posted in about a year, it seems.
  8. I was able to get docks with an experienced flier my first time out on a GTi. (I have over 500 camera wingsuit jumps) I enjoyed every one of my flights with it. If I had owned it, there was a lot of room to tweak my performance in flying it. But since I was going to buy one, I got the SF3. I will fly the suit at least once every week, so I opted for the high performance. Tallguy jumps at my DZ, and with his build and him in an SF3, there's almost no way I was going to keep up with him in anything less without him flying really dirty. We both want to max our performance, so I got the SF3. DeBar has one ordered too, so we should be pushing the envelope together as we learn. Look at your flocking partners, if they are all in Classics and GTi's you won't be pushing your SF3. -Big talk for a guy with no jumps on an SF3, but I went through the same decision process.
  9. Thanks Quade. And I LIKE the strobe effect on the props. But that does explain why one person in 100 goes into convulsions when they watch one of my tandem/AFF videos!
  10. Last year they were pretty much dawn and dusk. Last year I had to give up my balloon ride with BigBen, Mouth and Cornholio cause I trashed both my knees. But I gave the slot to Sangiro, and Ben got video
  11. I just quit my job and I'll be starting a career in real estate. My research showed me that there is no money in part-time real-estate. Car dealerships need more staff on the weekends, and you might be able to get on doing that. It's a different kind of thing, cause any money breaks you give to the customer come right off YOUR commission, not the sales manager's or the dealer's. I think a better part-time choice is car sales.
  12. I go to Church just about every weekend, my kids go to parochial school, yada, yada. I have also enjoy taking pictures of big naked skydives and being on topless beaches in Europe. I kind of expect to meet God someday, and have him say "JP, do you remember looking at the naked woman at sunset when you were in Tahiti with your wife?" And I'll reply "Hell, yes, God. That was some nice work!" Some people are naturally at war with their natures. They are people who see something different than people who are not at war with their natures. I will see a 18th century sailing ship and think "Golly, the knowledge of ropes and knots those guys had!" and another person will think of new ways to conduct autoerotic asphyxiation. So, some folks can't resist temptation, and your pictures cause them pain. Like a recovering alcoholic around a tapped keg. I try to be understanding of such folks, and socialize with them in environments they are comfortable in. As to organized religion, the statistics say we live longer, healthier, wealthier lives, and our kids get into less trouble both in childhood and as adults. So even if there is no God, I've got that going for me.
  13. Yes, and so am I. If you want video of your balloon jump, I'll do it for jump ticket only, and your balloon jump will be included in the DZ.Eloy Holiday Boogie '03 video. Those of you that are coming, make sure to get me, or Iwan (VDSchoor) on one of your jumps so you are in the video. Another way is to do a coached jump with Omar or Gasson. If you are on the Airspeed 8-ways, I am your camera flier. If you are an acoustic instrument player, I am your surfer.
  14. Dunno Michele, BTW I got my test date of December 8. I think I'd stick with the one you've got and see if it works. If somebody else gets the other one it's 3:1 they're out of the business in two years or less anyhow, right? Two LA-sized commissions to get square? I'd see how the one is doing first. That's some serious cheddar.
  15. Dude, cartoon camera fliers are FEARLESS! And they trip the camera's shutter by thought control. You said hydroencephelatic earlier. Lou, you have seen too much. Or you are on speed. Nobody uses that word. "Big-assed" head. You use that other stuff and I'm thinking I've got "wet-head". You probably don't remember insulting somebody by calling them a "wet-head" huh? I'll have my wingsuit Friday. Hah!
  16. Pretty cold for bikinis, at least once the sun goes down. The pool's heated, though.
  17. Thanks so much Lew! Nobody noticed but you! YouSoCool!
  18. A giant fighter plane they tried to sell as a bomber. One of the coolest planes never built. Edit: What the hell are they teaching you guys at Zoomie U, anyhow?
  19. What's your definition of young? It was just noted that you would be in our team room around the time we wake up.. hint hint Ach. I thought I was doing so much better with you than that. NEVER do ANYTHING worth doing in a team room full of video fliers. Sunny just awake in the morning is a nuclear blast furnace of energy and light. Her engaged in some form of adult pleasure would surely be like a supersonic sea-level B-58 napalm bombing run. Outside, padewan, outside.
  20. Hoym, my instructions were specifically for the .3 Diamond. The multi-element lenses like my Kenko work on the infinity setting, but my .3 does not. The sports setting increases the frame rate, so slow motion appears smoother. It also freezes the prop motion, which looks much, much cooler than on auto. Experiment with this and tell me if you think I'm wrong. Video your plane with the props turning, and switch from the auto to the sports setting. I like it way better. As to the focus thing on the Diamonds, I don't know, but I don't forsee switching to anything else. Sports setting, manual, focus on the Coke machine 10 feet out, tape the focus ring. gogogo.
