Deuce

So, Sangiro-san, any verdict?

This is a bit like when DvG, I kid you not, looked at me one day and asked me what my last name was. I thought Quade was your only name. Like "Cher". That whole L.A. celebrity cameraman thing, you know?

Well, Perris was a fine party and my kids were there. This time my wife and kids are meeting me at the end of my visit and I'm bringing a designated driver. Prepare to be boarded

ARgh! I imagine you could find a 6 foot fence of beer cans at whatever the legal distance from the DZ is. "The drinking line of demarkation is defined by the 6' aluminum can wall, decorated with occasional bottles, no swooping allowed"

I had to surrender my claim to best margarita to Jams at Perris. It was a sad day. I still make the best Long Island Iced Tea in The World, though.

Intercourse. Skybytch definition. Not Lewinsky.

No monkey numbers exist. You must earn a Monkey name. I screwed that up. I want to be Video Monkey or Pixel Monkey, "Video flyer-related Monkey of some sort". I will bring gifts, I will fawn, I will shoot fluffy video. I will bring rust-free Volvo parts from sunny Northern California.....

Would somebody post the URL?

I heard a figure on the radio today and I'm wondering where the DZ.com crowd is, statistically. (Just kidding you Viking)

No, no. I am trying to motivate the rest of the crew to get there in time for your dinner party. Me, Cornholio, Lummy and Seb want to launch a greased safe (your Go-Go cage) with you in it doing the B-Squared rock-n-roll ballerina dance. If Skymonkey wants one of the slots, I'll trade it for a monkey number

Yeah, you're flexible, but look at that zit on your right cheek!

Yeah, I JUST BOUGHT a new harness/container too. It's sitting in Florida waiting on PD to finish my Main. I'm wondering just how different the new container is going to be.....

Seb speaks as representative of the California Contingent. You will be denied the silliness of Seb, the Lummydance, Cornholio's Teepee rant, and the Drunken Deuce. The Other Matt will have used up his lime squeezer, and we will already have built and used up the B-squared Go-Go cage. Be there! *above statement not intended to represent the views of Skybytch, Michele, Hotamaly or any other female member of the California Contingent for fear of estrogen-ray-gun dismemberment.

First rig: new Wings, PDR 176, Spectre 170 Second rig: (jumping both) new wings, PDR 143, Spectre 150. I'll be putting a Spectre 150 in the first rig, and then replacing the rig and reserve as funds allow. I'd like to have rigs with mains and reserves that match sizes.

Yeah, don't use the stiff brush. It will make the cordura fuzzy. Let it dry and then vacuum it and use a rough cloth like terry or something. I did the brush thing on my new Wings and it made the cordura fuzzy.

Well, I was paraphrasing a freind of mine's description of why his long term committed marriage was going so well. He described his wife this way: "She looks like the girl next door, but f*cks like a wh*re" It sounds nasty, but it's a good thing

This is foolish. The forums give people a chance to open up about things that hurt them. This suck-it-up nonsense is why millions of people have to pay professionals to listen to them. It's why millions of people are taking medication to remove their feelings. Religion is the opiate of the masses. Life is hard, what is it, "nasty, cold, brutish and short (?)" and since it hurts we turn to each other for solice. Take away religion and opium is the opiate of the masses. I agree that you shouldn't whine that the deli is out of pastrami. But if you feel lonely and anxious about raising your children, you can get a quick friendly quote from a DZ.commer that you maybe or maybe don't know. That tough-guy crap is why so many people die young, and are ready to go when the do. Nick Nolte was not whining and was having as much fun as possible when he went driving on Rufenol a couple weeks ago. Many other things mattered. That feeling of insignificance is the number one cause of suicide. If fun is the only thing that matters, and you're not having fun, then people choose to end it. I'd prefer for them to whine a little while they get over it and the sun comes out from behind the clouds.

Turn this around. What do you want in a woman? Most guys want both ends of the spectrum. A nice church-girl to introduce to the parents and grandparents, and who will set a good example for children, neighbors, and the boss. They also want a complete freak in their bed. So, just maybe, women want the same full spectrum. If all your showing is the church-boy, then there's little hope you're going to be the Romance Novel Cover Manly-Man this chick wants during 'private-time'. All people relationships involve "pushing". The other person will push you to find out at what point you will push back. If it's too soon, you're an assh*le. If you don't push back at all, you're a punk. There's a magic spot right in the middle there where you're a stand-up guy that deserves respect. Good luck in your search, don't lose hope.

On three, Lumster. Up, Down, Out. My prayers are with you. JP

No! Not the Green Hornet Helmet! Hi Lumster!

Lisa, might it be that dickhead with the credit card you cut off? I don't know diddly about means here, but that fool had motive. JP

This happens to me occasionally when I have to land out. There's low hills just to the north of our DZ. I just flare slower and try to stay just over the slope. When I run out of flare I put my feet down. If I'm still hauling, I PLF, if I'm slowed down enough I run it out a little. I'm curious what the canopygods will say.

As an addition, they would not be a bad thing. Would you provide the same regions as USPA? We have a Northern California Skydivers e-mail group, and it pretty much just covers Byron, Davis, and Lodi. I wouldn't mind knowing what happens in the rest of the west, or in another region of the country if I was travelling. Then what regions?UK, Continent, Eurasia, Asia, Eastern Med, Africa, Central/South America, Canada, and Oz? For the Northern California Contingent, I'll be on the news tonight.

Sebazz hangs his butt His testicles hanging low Anything for Bytch!

Dang, Seb! A little slow on the draw for that BA! One hand on your beer, one on your zipper and three bare ass*s behind you. Boah you gotta git a move on! JP
