MOON-cull! Bwah!

Neil Stephenson's stuff if very good. Cryptomonicron (sp) is a great rambling page turner. My favorite author currently is Iain M. Banks, Scottish guy, like NacMac. Any of his "Culture" novels are cool. Escapist space opera stuff. Try "Consider Phlebas". Or study. Nah...

Oh, happythoughts, the bruise on my left side.... I was like 7th out on the "Muenkel-jump" Runrunrun-Quick-right-turn-BANG-OwOwOw!-I'm falling! That big-ass bruise brought a smile to my face for days. What a fun plane. I got back to my home DZ and ask my RW skygod for exit advice on the DC-3 and he gets all thoughtful and replies "You go through the hole"

OK I'm reading down the thread and I start trying to articulate how I agree with you. If you do your best to be fair, to be generous, to take the high road, and someone keeps poking at you, it's OK to take pleasure in your ability to beat the sh*t out of them. But only when they've left you no other recourse. I guess it's about not mistaking kindness for weakness. It's about doing the right thing. Once you get your opponent down, in whatever contest, don't put the boots to them. That's wrong. She doesn't have a right to screw with you. Using the appropriate amount of force, a freaking lawyer, to square things away is the right thing. Getting a thrill from seeing justice done may feel a little evil "How do you like me NOW?", but it's not. Bankcrupting her for fun would be like putting the boots to her. Justice isn't evil. But vengeance can be.

Ow. As in Ouch. Ah. Uh...., ooof.

OH, YEAH! Look at the Perris pictures in the pub. It's a freaking Turbine DC-3. Smooth as any jet, and fast as hell to altitude. I don't know where it's based. Such a big plane. Such a small door.
-
I look forward to interacting with you in person.

Dude. Don't get into video. "My buddy, JP, God rest his soul, broke both arms in a freak accident exiting the King Air at Byron. That's why his arms are flapping all weird in this video I shot. Boy, those camera wings really show you where the breaks are, don't they? Kinda like a bird flapping it's wings, huh? Flap flap. No, you can't hear what he's saying but if you slow my video down, it's clearly him mouthing "PULL MY F*CKING HANDLE! MATT YOU B*STARD PULL THE F*CKING HANDLE!" He keeps that up right to the Cypress fire. I'd have followed him in to the Clinton forebay, but my camera helmet was brand-new. It slipped my mind that he couldn't swim with broken arms. No, sorry, I didn't get that on video."

Yeah, retired cop. The Chief of Rio Vista was giving them out to just about anybody, but Sheriff Rupf in Contra Costa, and Plummer in Alameda, fuggedaboutit. Become a commercial pilot! That's the ticket!

That is a big deal. I've got a 120. But having the firewire is a big deal. You can get video of you from others, and give them your video like, right now! That would do it for me. The firewire is all over the place at all the dropzones I've been to. If the 9 doesn't do the firewire, there's no contest.

ROFL! Beautiful calm contralto voice: "Stall...Warning...Stall." Bitch from hellvoice; scathingly sarcastic; "HEY D*CKHEAD! I SAID STALL! DON'T MAKE ME FLY THIS THING!" Recovery occurs... Mumbly, pouty put-upon voice: "If you'd just f*cking listen to me I wouldn't have to shout....." Talk about Bytch-slapped! The ego-fear of having that voice on your final flight-recorder would be phenomenal. Last words would stop being "Oh sh*t!" and would become "Shut up!"

My main fish! I have never landed in a perfectly good airplane. That particular airplane was just especially perfectly good for jumping out of, though! Is the DC-3 we are GOING to jump out of at Eloy one of those really slow oil-spewing ones? I have been wrecked for DC-3's by that one from Perris! Are you just going to stay with whichever hottie beds you at Eloy, or are you looking to split a room? JP

Was it a sticky little kitten, with a pretty pink ribbon? Ker-splash! Right into the gutter. Come on in! The water's fine! Go ahead and take the formation out. There'll be plenty of video and you'll be famous!

Whoa, Hagar. Not a bad idea, it just won't be vibrant on video. That's where I think Perris is doing a better job than Byron. Their tandem jumpsuits are Robin's egg blue, ours are grey, and our tandem rigs are grey. Their students could have the exact same expressions but they'd look like they were having more fun than ours because the colors are bright. Plenty of folks, including most of the hot 4 way teams wear freaking BLACK. If you like grey and it goes with the rest of your kit, get it. Or you could call the jumpsuit manufacturer, tell them the colors of your other gear, and have them design it. Bonny who owns Gravity Gear knows my colors are royal, red, and black and she designed my FF suit. That's the plus of going through a gear store. That black and white's not bad

A little chamber humor!
-
The grey doesn't look good on video. It's FreeFly, that's the whole point! Bright contrasting colors!
-
Yeah. That's just wrong of the guys who program the feedback on those fly-by-wire planes! Making it that hard to pull-up is just mean!
-
Toque I honestly had to look that one up ... Wow. Thanks. Good day, eh.
-
So what is the proper way to spell "Tuke"?
-
Yeah! Just get that pink latex body paint! That would solve all your problems! You'd have to superglue the grippers on though (ouch). No laundry to do!

You better not be a complete not-nice-person. Several of us jumped out of a perfectly good turbine DC-3 just for you. We really wanted to go to Barnes and Noble to hear somebody talk about healthcare in Cuba, but we did a skydive just for you instead. Really. I've got it on video so it happened.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Seb, if you're at work, you get paid to spank your monkey! You are a professional monkey-spanker! Congratulations!

I've got probably 20 out of my 301. They're great fun when the ceiling is low. It beats not jumping.
-
Very nice. Thanks. JP
