  1. Look, having said that all volunteers deserve our admiration and respect, only a propellor-head would be surprised to discover that the folks that further volunteered to be airborne troopers were more likely to get their melons cracked than other types of soldiers.
  2. Well, duh. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=571&ncid=751&e=1&u=/nm/20031103/hl_nm/paratroopers_injuries_dc
  3. She's special like Jerry's Kids special. We should have a telethon for her instead.
  4. Deuce

    Bad Monkeys.

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-3340136,00.html How'd they get of the dropzone in the first place?
  5. Yeah, I got one too. Lots of hard "K" sounds involved in a drunk dial from Lisa. After yelling at me for a while she handed me off to Stacey, who handed me off to SM1 (Yes Chuck, I will bring a case of .45 and .223 and delivery systems to Eloy ), who handed me off and on and on until the Bytchphone was in an ashtray. Less than 8 weeks until Eloy, I've begun training by starting my day with a shot of tequila.
  6. E-mail me your credit card number and expiration date and I'll be there by noon tomorrow .
  7. Be pretty tough to do the yawn and post at the same time.
  8. I thought you jumped with the monkeys before. They'll be out there dirt-diving with coffee in one hand. MonoUno is epic at getting the party on, but he was ready for load one last year at Eloy.
  9. You know, 200 jumps is the recommended number to start jumping a camera?
  10. So I guess you guys got winded out and hit the bottle early? You could have used some Byron jumpers, I think. 20 is nothing. Blue skies and calm winds tomorrow for sure.
  11. I don't understand why you didn't get an optic. Your mindwarp does not have a flat side, does it?
  12. You pulled this one up from the ground, Sunny! What's the locale gonna be? Tropical island, mountains, tundra? Remster would have a huge advantage in tundra. I would have a huge advantage in a vast lanscape of gutters.
  13. Excuse me....I think you're looking at her VOLUME knob. Don Yeah, that one too, but with Monkey ONE, and Little Miss Monkey in the house, HotMamaMonkey will be tearing up the carpets. It should be amazingly fun and entertaining. Supposed to rain here....
  14. Yes Don, submit. This lady's knob goes to eleven.
  15. Sounds like you have it nailed, Ray. I had a very similar philosophy when I was dating, and from the very beginning I was looking to get married. I dated a lot, but when I got to the point that I knew I didn't want to spend the rest of my life with someone I'd break it off. The best advice I can give to any man is do not have sex with a woman you would not enjoy raising children with. So, keep the faith, enjoy the company of women, and you will find the one. If you want to make it go forever you have to have a basic set of values that you share, and the ability to negotiate everything else as people and times change. And keep working the "dreamy eyes" thing.
  16. I bet we see something like that in about a year. I just think the issue for most of the designers is having what looks like nothing more than a big lens. The only drawback to the micro cameras is those micro lenses that don't seem to transmit enough light and resolution. One of the things I like about Canon digital cameras is that they allow for the memory of the cards to improve, so the capacity of the camera to hold images just keeps going up.
  17. What is that, like a Maori tribesman who fixes hats?
  18. I'm curious as to how many gigs an 80 minute tape represents. With 2 gig cards now comercially available, I'm wondering how long it's going to be before we have a CompactFlash DV camcorder. If it kept the current level of resolution for 60 to 80 minutes, it could probably do a minute at full resolution, 12 megapixels, for a minute, if the computing power was there. Hmmmm.
  19. Knock on skull I've never had to land in a jump plane. I don't mind it on commercial flights, but I always do a handle check once the flaps come down.
  20. Apparently you are adequately medicated. Nothing else would have you leaving typos. Get some rest and feel better.
  21. Yep. You can get video. And stills too! Since I'll be using whatever footage I get for the DZ.Eloy Holiday Boogie '03 video, I'll do it for the slot. I'll firewire to your camera for free, a tape would be the cost of the tape. I'll be making stills available in the same sort of format that Obi-Wan-McGowan had at Perris in the spring. I'll be printing various sizes of stills to order for those who want their pictures right now!, rather than waiting on Shutterfly after the boogie. The DZ.Eloy Holiday Boogie video is a fundraiser for the website. After production costs are covered, all proceeds go to purchasing bandwidth. So, even if you aren't doing a baloon jump, make sure you hook up with Gasson, Omar, Me, Iwan, and BigBen at some point to get your bad self on the video. Me and Iwan will be taking digital stills on just about every skydive. It's gonna be a whole lot o' fun!
  22. I do think it's art. I just thought it might have a title like "Mengela's Joy" or something. Oh crap, I just killed my own thread.
  23. Don't people just run away when they see you walking up to them with the stool?
