  1. Oh, yeah, Andy. Big time. Three outside and the camera flier with one of the 4-way team inside. It's really hard. It's what makes KingAir camera fliers something special.
  2. Hey, Buz, Welcome! Especially where you live, where skydiving is seasonal at best, it's harder than DZ's where weather is better year-round. Tandems are the best of times, and the worst of times. There is just about nothing better than riding along with some canopy fighter pilot wannabe who is hooting and hollering the whole time. And then they try and kill you, and you wonder $30? Be cool. Be safe. Be positive.
  3. That sucks. Why don't you tell them politely to quit being assholes? I just don't get how anyone thinks it's funny when you tease someone about their weight -been on the receiving end of that quite a bit in sky-jumping, unfortunately just because weight IS a concern with our sport... It still doesn't make it right to laugh, though. You know, Acme, most of he people have my best interests at heart. "Why the tire "tyre" JP? they ask. And there is no simple, easy answer. The worst are the recently thin. Chin up. Eat less. Eh?
  4. Thanks, sweetie. Do a tandem with me. I dare you!
  5. Good. Bring it, sweetie! Having been really big, a 300 pounder, I just crack up that some folks that met me at 190 are being so petty now that I'm 220. I've got great excuses, but I'm not an excuse-maker. I just wonder at the cruelty of the fun-makers. Having been at nearly 300 pounds, and having started skydiving at about 200, it's remarkable how nasty folks are about me being at a heavier weight than when I started.
  6. Pictures. Meatheads. Or it didn't happen. Argh.
  7. Well, kinda a different context, but it was, with my .45 in my hand' "Bernie, you ever do anything like that ever again I will kill you. You understand?" (nods) A bad scene and an enemy for life. Tough job.
  8. Good arguments, and I suspect we'll have a definitive answer in our lifetimes. If we carry Cro-magnon DNA, then it's evolution. If we don't maybe it's creation. It's fascinating to watch.
  9. I only wish we were watching some Larry TCG right now. I wonder if he does any children's programmimg? Ok it's ending.
  10. The expense of my Treo has proven completely worthwhile. Postwhoring from the back row of a G-rated movie while sitting on an Oompah-Loompah chair in a room full of midgets is OK.
  11. Yeah. Telling the kids how I mistakenly frog marched an amputee up the escalator at North Berkeley BART would go over big with the clergy here. Or maybe the Monque' story?
  12. It's field day, we've already done the water baloon toss, the relay races, and watched 30 year old BMX riders do bike tricks and tell us to wear helmets and not smoke crack. Now I'm in the back row with 65 8-year olds watching "Pagemaster" that stars McCauley Caulkin instead of skydiving with Skybiotch and Flyangel2. Entertain me.[email]
  13. OK Bill, after a nice meal with flyangel1 I am back in the Corner. What proof do we have of evolution? That said, I do not contend that Darwin was wrong, and creationism is not the reality, but what fact do we have that prove that. I am really exited by the human genome project. I want to know what the difference is between selection and mutation. Right now, I don't know that there is any difference, other than dogma. Does the human or any other genome allow for mutation, evolution? As far as I know, nobody knows right now. Stir it up. -People in high UV areas tend to develop cancers, not evolutions. Right? or Wrong. I'm completely open.
  14. I know this is probably what you meant, but flocking experience is more important than total WS jumps. :) Absolutely. The most difficult thing is for the long skinny fliers to dirty up and hang with the heavy, stouter fliers. Most of the light/long folks are frustrated at first, but really enjoy finding though video that they have been part of a really big, precise flock. Even if they feel like they could have done it without a wingsuit at all. JP
  15. That depends, entirely, Mr. Poxon, on what is being packed. Eh?
  16. Um. The KingAir has no camera step at all. Nada. Good flying and skill allows for exit shots just as good as from an Otter (the best), but it's harder.
  17. If Columbus landed in San Francisco, nobody would live east of the Rockies. 82 degrees here today, nice low humidity. Edited to smugly add that the humidity is 39%
  18. Thank you very much, Nick. I appreciate it!
  19. Iwan, you crazy Klingon, where to you want the suit sent?
  20. Check again, sweetie. I'll sent my suit to y'all if I have to. The Scooter has already flown it a time or two.
  21. Scooter, take mine. You've flown it before. Take it.
  22. How are some ways to do that? What's the best approach?
  23. Bah. You Hollish Bastard. I actually got the new one up and running today without Discount European Expert Help. I'm just wanting to improve it a little every day, and the Dreamweaver stuff is just difficult that way. JohnKellyProperties.com Thanks, though, Iwan. You are Derr Mann!

    Help a brutha out

    Dude, that is so easy. Trust me, I have my Master's. It's like this: write one paper on "economics". Your prof wants one copy in 4 point font that fits on one paper (the microeconomics paper), and one copy in 50 point font on 50 pages (macroeconomics paper (("macro" means big. Ergo "big economics" paper))) You'll be fine. I'm a genius. As to your prostrate, any time you come near any doctor or nurse practitioner at your age they will want to reach into your nethers and inspect it. No help needed from us amateurs
