  1. Bitch. You will make me cry. Falling off the Cessna in freezing rain sucked. Good company, though. Connie was laughing at me too.
  2. Completely selfish on my part. "Girlfalldown" in the post is almost guaranteed to get the thread on fire. Kinda like "horny". I'm betting "Horny Girlfalldown" in the title would blow a server.
  3. BillVon is a B2 StealthMonkey partier. It's one of the things that contributes to his wild popularity in speaker's corner.
  4. That is a very good point. When I am most current doing tandems, I am least current at AFF, wingsuit, and camera suit. I had a friend nicely approach me and ask what the heck was up with my pattern flying. I had started "owning" the pattern while flying my sport rig as if I was flying the tandem rig. (Big "S" turns while on final). Currency in general is important, but so is currency in type.
  5. The inconvenient laws of physics hinder my evil genius plans. We gotta get them working on those. I'm hungry, get that grand jury to indight me up a ham sandwich.
  6. It's a popularity contest? Oh, how easy. I win.
  7. I fell on the band. Edit: I actually surfed the band.
  8. Shannon-bannanon was my very first freefall kiss. I get to hug and kiss her all the time. Well, at the dropzone. Lucky me. You internationally-envious bastards and biotches! Hahar! Love you Shannon!
  9. I think the cut in laterals are a must-have. Like the Monkey says, though, they are not necessary if you have a very narrow rig. I had Wings rigs without them, and my new ones do have them, and I love the difference in fit.
  10. Bwahahahaha! If only it were that easy! I think most of you folks have it backwards. Dr. Rice is where President Bush got his foreign policy opinions. Not the opposite.
  11. Well, maybe substitute being "nothing" and then being "something". I just happen to have gotten back from my morning teaching my group of third graders. I've noticed that these kids are very exposed when they take risks, like reading to a group, and then mispronouncing a word and then all the kids laugh. They are being "nobody" when they are just quietly out in the audience, and the public speaker is the "somebody". The "somebody" can get a real boost out of reading a passage perfectly, but will really want to instantly be a "nobody" if they screw it up. There is no risk to being a nobody, but there is no possibility of reward. The challenge is to motivate the young ones to take reasonable risks, and understand in advance what the up and downsides are. I think the same exposure to risk is there when we tell someone we love them, or respect them. If they respond with hostility or contempt, we want to be a nothing/nobody. However if we proceed as if we are already are a nothing/nobody and don't let the person know how we feel, we won't know that they love us back, and know us and respect us as well.

    My baloney has a first name, it's H-O-R-N-Y, ....
  13. I saw it yesterday with 400 girl scouts and brownies. It is a great film, and near the end the elves do a two point 18-way off the North Pole Zeppelin before deploying ram-air parachutes. My wife and me just cracked up loudly when we saw that one. The animation of the freefall and the points was perfect. It's a short scene, but whoever animated it really knew what they were doing, it seemed.
  14. What are some websites you cruise to find interesting news?
  15. Um, if it's a contest, the chick in the bikini top shooting at the freefallers from the back of a guy wearing the S3 wingsuit wins. Now that sh*t was funny!
  16. Shannon, breathing gold mettallic spray paint vapor from a lunch bag may make you feel kind of cool and distract you from the mundane business of importing wine, but it will make it much harder to run down a rainbow.
  17. I think for most all purposes, the one that has an objective lens that matches the wideangles you already have. I scarfed up a second PC120 when they obsoleted them, when Sony stops making a camera they seem to just evaporate. I don't think you'll have much luck finding a 330.
  18. I was staring at boobs the whole time, and they never got any smaller.
  19. Be careful about Skyminxx and those Fox Force chicks. They are likely to spray choloroseptic in your eyes to numb your tear ducts or something.
  20. Oh, god. That is the funniest thing I have read in ages. What a visual.
  21. You will only need your speedo for dirt dives. The people in the pool are usually naked.
