  1. Hey TB, I was living in Homestead during Andrew as well. I know what those monsters can do, and how they can ruin lives. That probably wasn't the best choice of words, sorry. I was just picking on the meteorologists
  2. LOL! Now... nothing personal against you guys in Florida... but I hope you get hammered
  3. Damn you professionals! Always proving me wrong! *eats his words* My monkey with a dartboard forecasting system fails again
  4. Hurricane paths are very difficult to predict. It's way to early to rule out a Florida landfall. Andrew's path was quite similar to this one so far. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/mfl/newpage/graphics/path1.jpg 11 years ago we were in Homestead thinking "ahhhh it'll go north"
  5. Oops. Yes. Thanks for that example Heather. I see the issue now. Just looks like it's being cut pretty black and white. Either you'll jump without a CYPRES, or you rely on it too much. Surely there are people who will not jump without one for the plain and simple reason of being as safe as possible. Not because it makes them feel invincible...
  6. Just because someone won't jump without it doesn't necessarily mean they rely on it in they way you're thinking. I remember a lot of talk (in these forums) about how this sport is a balance of risk vs. reward. We love the sport so much that it's worth the risk. We may endure the added risk of jumping at night because, well dammit I don't know first hand, but it just seems so much cooler. What is the benefit of jumping without an AAD? That's added risk with no extra reward.
  7. I jump with contacts and have had no issues so long as the goggles are on good and tight. No irritation or dryness or anything. Once, however, my goggles were not near tight enough. They managed to roll up over my forehead... out of place and inside out
  8. What's the technology cut off point for the Amish? Is paintball a hellworthy sin???
  9. Wow... so what if the asteroid wins the lottery the day it impacts... what are the odds of that?
  10. Yeah, he's some 390 lb K1 ass kicking machine in Japan. And I hear that it's Tyson who wants to do the fighting
  11. I had a friend who became sick and had to spend a month in the hospital. Doctors said it was because he didn't shake his Arizona Green Tea. The instructions on the can are for your own safety, sir. Sometimes you just need to take a step back and ask yourself if it's really worth it.
  12. Took me a full year and 41 jumps to get my A. But what's the rush?
  13. "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Ozzy Osbourne has interesting lyrics.
  14. "Faster than a porpoise who can burp on purpose eucalyptus that can lick us as we dust to kill the must or art'll choke us." That's it... that's the song. Repeat 5 to 10 times. "I've never seen anything more motherly than the nipples make me want to drink her up." That's a song about the guy's dog by the way... ... "art'll choke"... hehehe
  15. And I thought it couldn't get any worse than all that bird shit that's on my car...
  16. 3 grade schools 3 middle schools and 3 high schools all due to family moves. Oh, and 1 community college in a podunk midwestern town
  17. Because you can't just run out and get a new main the day your arm feels well enough to get back in the air. Planning ahead = good edit: Oops, never mind, I missread that. If it's upsize or stay on the ground for a few months I wouldn't want to wait either.... And while I'm making an ass of myself I'll ask a silly question: Would a larger canopy require more strength to land since you're pulling on a bit more fabric when you flare?
  18. There's a NIN song on Downward Spiral... sounds like someone is playing with a straw in a McDonnald's cup. You know... pushing the straw in and out of the lid to make that annoying squeaky noise. And this goes on for a few minutes. That's the reason I put the CD in the toaster. Made the smoke alarm go off.... And the smell was horrible... And there was a small fire... But all of this wasn't near as annoying as that fucking song.
  19. Ayup. And we are bored and replying. Smashing Pumpkins - Silverfuck.
  20. And so he'd pass the test.... Personally I've seen more elderly people doing overly stupid things in traffic than I have punk ass kids. I said yes on CNN and I say yes here
  21. I've also heard nothing good... check this out. Ebert cracks me up sometimes
  22. Sponge... um, track 6. I don't remember what the hell it's called!

    Incident

    I like how it takes the skill of a police marksman to shoot balloons with a pellet gun. This guy must win all sorts of stuffed animals when the county fair rolls into town.
