    Sure, I remember Cptn.Kool-Aid. "...but also jumped it?" Huh?

    My comment was fine in context. People can do what they want. Some idiots might even go slap the guy on the back, & laugh about it. That doesn't change a thing. Those billboards were in extremely poor taste. I, for one, would never eat there again. If you'd like to show your support for this clown. I'm sure he could FedX you a bunch of food by overnight. He might even throw in some Kool-Aid. If he thinks killing kids is funny? Maybe he thinks messing w/people's food is funny, too? Especially when they pay him to do it. Enjoy your meal.

    good advertising anyway, i bet now people are more aware of "hacienda's".. Innocent children were forced to drink Cyanide-laced Kool-Aid. That's not to mention the rest of that mess. One doesn't have to be a marketing genius to see the repugnance in this. This business should, & probably will, suffer because of this. What's their next Ad campaign gonna be, Kiddie Porn?

    Really??? She registered 130db on her meter for the full minute of belly-flying free fall? Please verify that. If true, that suqs. Sometimes I wear 'em. Sometimes I don't. If it's really 130db. I'll have to wear 'em all the time. Bummer...

    Yeah. When I felt him release, I did what I thought was accentuate my arch, which in reality was actually finally arch. Flipped me right over. Haha And the line twists only took two good kicks to get out. While about 23 years ago, I have kicked out of lots of riser/line twists. I woke up this morning with a huge grin on my face. I'm ready to do it again, even after reading "getting closer to killing the guy." Thank God my wife doesn't read this forum. Hey Kevin, What altitude were you supposed to pull @? What altitude did the instructor toss your chute w/o signaling you? Did he pop it early?
  7. PiLFy
    He was looking at it, watching the numbers roll down. They didn't give him the pull signal. One instructor just yanked it. Maybe that's why the other instructor didn't let go before (causing large burble)? I don't think the OP has said what altitude he was supposed to pull @. Did the instructor pull early to end it?
  8. PiLFy
    I thought that was because both instructors were still hanging on @his sides?

    "I don't drink it, but I'll buy it for those deserving." I hear ya. I also don't drink, but it makes them so happy. I'd prefer to buy them something healthier, like dinner. That's just the way it is, though. Nice job overall, Kevin. Eloy is a great DZ, & they've got a tunnel right on the property. Enjoy the ride

    Jeeze...Are you trying to make Tom, Jay, & Jim alcoholics? Besides, I think there were a few pre-seconds in there.

    If you don't know the freedom of riding? You're caged in, whether on foot or in a car. Simple enough, no?

    Thanks, Kevin. I needed that. You've nothing to be embarrassed about. You pitched out of a plane for the first time, & landed laughing. You're going to find out about something called "Beer Rules" eventually. Bring those three guys a nice big case of imported when you go back. Oh, & don't be surprised when they all put on full-face helmets next time...

    That would be one way to solve his taxidermy problem. A little trivia for some, here: In days of yore. Before specialized calibers, big-bore muzzle loaders were all there was for mountain men. Large N soft, pure lead projectiles made for a very big wound canal. Guys still took small game like squirrels. A direct hit would destroy much of the meat. So, they utilized a technique known as "Barking." They wouldn't shoot the squirrel. They'd shoot the tree bark right beside one. The concussive force of the impact would kill, or at least knock out the squirrel. They didn't used to stuff the hides, though. Mountain men & settlers would often only save the tails to hang off the rearview mirrors of their covered wagons. It wasn't until they settled in California that they started stuffing the hides, too. Those early stuffed hides eventually evolved into today's fuzzy dice. Hydraulic suspensions developed independently. Honest...

    You want to risk your health for something so readily available? Dunno what it's like in Sweden. Here in the States. Squirrels are all over the place. If you want one. Go out & shoot one. You'll know it died while healthy. Its pelt won't be torn up & spotty from the bushes. Do it yourself kits are cheap.

    Retire on? Probably not, but you might get a nice vacation out of them. Apparently, $4 cheapo hook knives are big medicine to this guy. That, or you might be able to trade him for several of those extremely rare AK bayonets. After all, it's not like they have crates of 'em just lying around the former Eastern Block countries...

    Dear w*k*, Hi, That's a nice looking knife. Which parachute is it from? Was it one of those fancy, uber-expensive demonstration chutes? I dig rare & exotic items.

    Logo on main???

    PiLFy replied to Omni's topic in Gear and Rigging

    I recently asked PD how much it would cost to make a 190-210 Storm look like the canopy on their 2011 calendar cover: $900-$1100.00 ... For kicks, I then asked how much the smaller logos their team jumps would be: $450. I'm not planning on downsizing anytime soon, but feel $1,000 for a silk-screening is too much. Heck, they already have the stencil (or whatever they use).

    I want to see your dog, Dog. Got any pix?
  21. PiLFy
    Yes. Is it true that a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's? Depends. Before, during, or after they eat another dog's shit?

    ---------------------------------------------------------- This thread was started by Celtics85 and then you jumped on board talking like it was your german shepard puppy that was an asshole. See the similarities? They're not the same person. Celtics85 has an Asshole fixation. You might remember the other Asshole thread he started?

    I'm glad the video made it clear for you. I use regular OTC foam plugs. I've been using the Howard Leight company's plugs for a while, now. Their foam is more spongy than typical store fare. I already sent you a link to their site. I like to wear then for the trip to altitude. I'll jump with or without them. I'm bumming to read the decibels in free fall might exceed the plane engines. After almost 30yrs on bikes w/a full face helmet & earplugs? I enjoy an open face experience. We'll have to see how many decibels she gets on her meter.

    Here, check out this link: http://video.about.com/pediatrics/Ear-Pressure.htm Even the better fitting foam earplugs that I use, haven't caused me any problems w/this. I do tend to have difficulty clearing my ears, sometimes. This was true before I started wearing plugs, too. That difficulty is w/my Eustachian tubes, not the other side of the membrane. The foam plugs don't seal completely. One poster mentioned a pre-existing injury(?), & should double check w/his ENT. Otherwise, I don't see this being an issue. Yes, you could get plugs w/a hole running through them. That hole will also let in sound, though. Negating the purpose of the plug. Maybe that's why those Surefires(?) are rated @only 26NRR. While these are rated for 32NRR: http://www.howardleight.com/earplugs/laser-lite
