  1. Thanks for the laugh .
  2. I just feel sorry for the people that are retired at this time and have lost their ass on their investments . I know a few people that have had to go back to work to make it . To the serious investor it is now a buying opportunity .
  3. Save some for when you are feeling better !
  4. I can't say I don't blame him . I think this may be a record setting year for deaths under open parachutes .
  5. I need a program that will stop banner ads and hyperlinking . It is about to drive me nuts .
  6. That is a major step towards becoming a major post like Clay . Just don't get caught .
  7. The economy , what a joke . I am glad I got out of the market after oil went up just over three years ago . The sad thing is that corporate America is fucking the investors out of their retirements and they will get away with it .
  8. I liked the vibrator one .
  9. Well hell BIll , we need some reason to go after them . What better reason than to pick up the high tech toys we sold them so an American corporation can profit from it . I bet Halliberton will even profit from the war to stop them . I bet they made a profit even after paying the fines . Don't forget that we also sold them most of the lab equipment to make biological weapons as well .
  10. When I need gear in a hurry I pre-pay and insist upon it being sent straight to my house . I have never had a dealer refuse me this option . I only order gear from dealers like square 1 or a company that employs mainly skydivers .
  11. This is the one time a person prays NOT to survive the fall down the cliff . I think a tandem jump with a cutaway passenger harness would work fine too in a case like that .
  12. How much for a new transmission ?
  13. Just dont leave the house like that .
  14. You can ask your rigger about a lubricant you can use on the lines to reduce friction . I have seen sliders with brass grommets have this problem in the past and it was corrected by using a slider with stainless grommets .
  15. I remember a few years back when Skydive Arizona had a bunch of jumpers die in a one year period . There were two in one day and there was three or for more that year . I do not remember a mention of it in any of the papers . I think the reason for the decline in the deaths at Eloy is due to a declining number of jumpers since more and more dz's have turbine aircraft . I dot not remember any of the local jumpers ever dyeing at Eloy , it always seems to be a visitor showing off for the locals .

    Loved the Clinton one .
  17. Steve Irwin is nuts .We need to get him into skydiving . I have watched his shows for years and still enjoy them .
  18. I think I could behave for one night .
  19. I'm with you on that one Clay .
  20. That is a typical liberal media witch hunt . What the fuck does his drug conviction have to do with this other than to trash Roger . I hate reporters and their trash the person and never admit you are wrong attitude . There is a lot more to the drug story than the press would ever publish .
  21. I never cared for Buffy but I do like the charmed ones .
  22. Show me a politician and I will show you a crook . Clinton and Gore were just as bad as Bush they just weren't caught . Most politicians are in the game for the big money deals they can work while in office .They could give a shit less about you and me or any other americans for that matter . I would much rather have Bush than the tax and spend democrats . It does not matter what party is in office they all have the same agenda . They all take money from the same groups and have the same people pulling their control strings .
  23. Sound like a super polygrip commercial may be in his future .
  24. I have used double wraps for over 10 years and over 4000 jumps . I have NEVER had a bag lock . I have double wraped both rubber bands and tube stoes . I would NOT double wrap small bands or tube stoes . I have a friend of mine that packs for me from time to time and he single wraps with 6"+ stows . He has over 50,000 pack jobs done this way with 0 baglocks . I have never had a bad opening with his packjobs .
