She exits right after the tandem, then docks on the tandem's right arm (well, almost). Her rack looked just fine from my perspective. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

you didn't see the tandem pilot's boobies ?? Plus one of the solo jumpers was a chick. On the other hand -- the women had no need to, um, ensure the circulation? to their extremities prior to exit, so I could see how you might not notice them.

Ummm ... might want to list as NSFW next time! No problem with the nakedness (duh, of course I understood that from the thread title!), but the guy hanging out of the plane waiting for the tandem, trying to keep some circulation to his, um, extremities?

trying to figure out if skydiving is for me

Skydive Butterflies I have this on a tank top. It has gotten me through many a pre-jump! See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump! -
You know you're a skydiver when....

I always liked these two: ... you try to convince the flight attendant that you really are more comfortable sitting on the floor. Backwards. ... you wake up in a strange bed, next to someone you don't recognize, but your first panicked thought is, "where's my rig???"

Of the choices given: pasta salad, but not mayo-based. A nice light oil/vinegar, just enough to keep the pasta from sticking together. While I'll also put in a virtual vote for the raw veggies, I'm surprised no one has mentioned 7-layer dip! Love that.

Careful.. The locals can be assholes... So can the visitors. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

Hey, Nigel -- I had a similar situation recently, tho the other way around. I was going home for two weeks (ZHills), planning to do a bit of sky jumpin'. Then, the event was postponed, Mom came for a visit (longer than expected). By the time I had some free time, either the weather was crap, or I just didn't feel like jumping. It was strange -- spent a beautiful day on the DZ and just never wanted to skydive. I'm hoping I can shake that the next time I'm home. Glad to hear you got over it and had some good jumpin' days.

No. That's visiting the in-laws... Or even the 'rents. It's a visit,. not a vacation! lol Definitely! Went back to the States for just about two weeks last month. Invited Mom down for Memorial weekend, since she complained about us not inviting her when I was in ZHills for Turkey Boogie (and reunion, etc). I thought she'd say about 3 days/4 nights. She was there a week, right in the middle of what was supposed to be my vacation. Already have my flight back for Nationals, though!

Quite clever! I especially chuckled at the Kitty porn at the end. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

You're just dying for a reply from me, aren't you? See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

For the contest, yeah, these are all entertaining (having fun reading the creativity here!). But regarding what works: this is what will get me to continue talking to a guy, followed by JohnMitchell's

Yeah but I bet when you're done ...the pages don't stick together like they do with Penthouse! Funny -- Penthouse Forum doesn't get sticky when I read it. ... and I will "one up" you on reading it in public. Took one as reading material on a flight when I was in my 20s.

Not as clever, but certainly more versatile: "Do you have any [your ethnicity] in you? Would you like some?" See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

Which, I presume, you are? (impressed, I mean). The boy apparently has mad skills (seriously, in a good way) landing on the boat. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
-
Yes. (I know you were asking the OP, but the answer is yes). A student's performance landing on the boat does have some factor in which aircraft the pilot is ultimately assigned. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

Congratulations! Sorry I didn't see this thread when it was first opened -- I actually would have had some advice on how to survive Pensacola, make it through flight training, and still have a good time. Looks like you did that just fine all on your own, though. Wow, E-2s are tough. Not only do you have unique flight characteristics with all those crazy surfaces, but you're taking it to the boat. Nice work! Excellent attitude to have as well: "my plane is the best/most beautiful plane EVER!" Yeah, I'm paraphrasing you, but I know that's what you really meant. More advice coming via PM. In the meantime, love your life! See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

Same here. Maybe it's a Florida thing? I never saw the option provided before moving to Florida, and never saw people actually leave all the husks at the store before, either. So, I would say that if the garbage can was not provided, the customer should not leave the husks behind. Also agree with grilling it in the husks -- although I'll clean out the silk and add a hint of butter and salt under the husks first.

It also helps to get your hair wet occasionally. Longer hair traps heat in more than shorter hair, and the cool, wet hair will allow for faster dissipation of body heat. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

Are these the same person? If so, I'd imagine she could relate. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

I remember that in my days, people would smoke in the theater, even for children movies.. Unthinkable now.... ... and my mom would make popcorn so we could take it to the theater in a large Tupperware bowl -- enough for the four of us.

As soon as I got back to the States last month my sister asked whether I had seen the HTC commercial. Soon thereafter I saw the short version of it on TV (long version was viewed a few times from the thread here previously). From the short version, my whuffo sister had quite a few observations about it -- most notably that RM is a talented, beautiful skydiver.

The gist of the above comments: it would be like saying the rest of us should jump without reserves. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

It all goes back to the definition of each of those values. The mean is the average: all values added together, then divided by the numbers in the set (n). You add 20 to the total because it's the difference of the incorrect value from the correct (higher) one. If you need the extra step, essentially once you get the sum of all the scores (65.5x40), you "take out" the incorrect value (-70) and replace it with the correct one (+90). With the information given, you would not be able to find the new median. Yes, but you would only have to know the position that the replaced "70" occupied in the sequence. The median will still be 64 unless a "70" was #21 in the sequence and it was the only "70" in the string. (since 64 is simply the average of the middle two numbers). Ah yes, good point, since "n" is even. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
