The "Search posts" function is your friend... But if we talked about each topic only once, the forums would be pretty silent by now...

This thread had quite a few suggestions.

In jail as in: -convicted? -arrested? -picked up and held overnight for being too drunk? no, no and yes.

>Saw a T-Shirt at the dz that said"NASCAR drivers are pussies, >I can do 200m.p.h. standing on my head" Excellent... I can only do 200 kmh on my belly though.

>We got really annoyed at the fact that there is soo much PINK in skydiving. Ooh, the SAPPS will be pleased... Welcome to the forums. -
Check out this, this and this thread. There are ways for heavier people to skydive as well.

>I like to use Square1.com and look at the staffs profiles. heehee...

Hmph. I'm firewalled out. Screenshot anyone?

It says on Airtec's website that : "The DOT certificate does not refer to CYPRES by name, but to a part number". That sure makes it easy to find... Digging in the DOT database turned up nothing. I'm sure waiting for Airtec's explanation of all this. Looks like I'm not getting a CYPRES anytime soon.

Static line. Everybody knows the best jumpers come from the S/L progression.

Skydivers Leap Off World's Tallest Building
ernokaikkonen replied to jumpergirl's topic in The Bonfire
How about "Parachutists leap off world's tallest building"? That would be correct, if a bit ambiguous. In my mind it's quite clear that both skydivers and BASE-jumpers fall under the category of "parachutists"=one who uses a parachute. -
Yes, this would of course be the nicest possible solution. Unfortunately, most of us have to stop jumping sooner or later in the day, and if your canopy gets wet/damp after landing, you may have to get it dry at home.

I don't care much for F1, but the world rally series is more to my liking. Too bad it hasn't been as much on the TV as F1. Did you hear Mika Häkkinen is going to get behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi rally car?

>Am I worrying over nothing? In short, yes. The canopy really wont get that wet, but it will probably get damp. If(when) that happens, just hang your canopy somewhere to dry. If that's not possible, leave your canopy unpacked, out of the gearbag, for a few days. My canopies have dried out just fine in a bunch on my living room floor, but they haven't been really wet, just damp. If you're still jumping the Sabre190 that your profile states, any shrinkage from getting your canopy damp shouldn't be noticeable. disclaimer: I'm not a rigger, but I have jumped in the winter, so all this purely from personal experience.

Sangiro is working on this actually, check out this thread.

I don't think so. At least not with html. There's no way that I'm aware of to force a word-wrap in the middle of a word. One solution would be to validate the input and break any excessively long words in the script, but that's far from optimal.

> might go with cute but I think "babe" is probably stretching it. No no no, You got it all wrong, Babe, as in here...

...And since you looked in this thread you'll love this site... -
urgh. Early morning, had to think about it a while before I got it --> more coffee, please.

I know. Something like 50-60 people from Finland visit Z-hills this Dec-Jan(not all at the same time though). Lucky bastards. Oh, when I walked to work this morning it was -17C (1F).

Lucid Dreaming: Part 2 - I can Fly! But not Far...
ernokaikkonen replied to phatcat's topic in The Bonfire
I've had a pretty similar experience. I too used to have nightmares. Then in one dream(another nightmare) something just didn't make sense(some wierd stuff that dreams are filled with), which baffled me. Then it hit me: "This is a dream!" I didn't need to read any books about it either. I fried the fuckers that were after me, haven't had any nightmares since, until a couple of weeks ago. That was different though; if the earlier nightmares were splatter/horror movies, this one was a psychological thriller. I can remember no details except that there was no-one to fry, so I couldn't do anything.... I just remember sitting up in my bed, gasping for breath. Not cool. -
If you feel like analyzing your deployments from video, having the top and bottom skins in different colours might be a good idea. And of course, stay away from Pink and Purple Shit.

Narcimund, Billvon Thanks for the food for thought. I had never thought about any of this in such depth. I think I'll visit the local library and borrow some of Plato's work.
