  1. Pick a color and then eat all of that color. Pick another color and then eat all of that color. Keep going until all the colors are eaten. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  3. I bought that game even knowing it had bad reviews just because it was skydiving related. I played it only briefly. If my memory serves me correctly, you have to press the buttons on the controller based on the given pattern and there's a time limit. Once you complete the pattern the four team changes to the next point and you get another pattern. Mess it up or run out time and you have to start from the beginning. It got old *real* quick and I put it away. Another crappy skydiving game is for the PC. It's called Skydive! and is by Gonzo Games. It has more to do with skydiving but is still pretty bad. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

    That's the first thing I though of, too.

  8. The underlying question here is "What is a skydiver?" According to the USPA web site (section on 2003 SIM FAA Part 105): http://www.uspa.org/publications/SIM/SIMtext/FARPart105.htm#1053 I didn't find a definition for skydiver. By the above, I think being a skydiver includes being a parachutist, parachutist in command, or passenger parachutist at some point in time. I strongly disagree that freefall or a solo (non-tandem) jump is required to be considered a skydiver. But when is one qualified to be considered a "skydiver"? Maybe you're only a real skydiver between the moment you leave the aircraft and the moment you land. Otherwise, you're just another person. But that's no good because we still want to be called skydivers even though we aren't currently performing the act of skydiving. Maybe you're only a real skydiver once you get a license. There are at least two problems with that. One is: What about students? Surely while they're commiting the act of skydiving (between the moments of exiting and landing) they are skydivers. But, once they reach the ground their status goes back to non-skydiver. That seems kind of odd. Two is: What about me and people like me? I have 230 jumps but never bothered with a license. Think of me what you will, but I am a skydiver. I don't think being a skydiver has anything to do with licenses or ratings. It may have to do with how a person feels about themself or how other people feel about them. As for me personally, I went through a static-line course. I personally felt like a "skydiver" when I jumped without rope or radio. I was doing it on my own (almost). But that's just how I felt about myself personally. Maybe I turned into a skydiver on my first jump because I fell in love with it immediately. I planned on being a one tandem wonder, but when we landed I had a very clear purpose to learn how to skydive on my own. As for your specific case, I'd say technically they are a skydiver. But, I think there are different kinds of skydivers: The casual (or occasional) skydiver. The world-class skydiver. The student skydiver. etc... It may be more appropriate for the person you're talking about to call themselves a casual (or occasional) skydiver. I think they are misrepresenting themselves a bit because when the typical whuffo hears that they are a "skydiver" the whuffo probably thinks skygod. Saying casual (or occasional) skydiver may put the whuffo into perspective. But in the end, as others have said. Who cares? It ain't no big deal. Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  9. Yep, part of the reason "shit happens" is because we all do stupid shit on occasion. Since there is someone else out there who jumped without cocking their PC because they didn't know they needed to, I think the moral of the story is risk insulting someone's intelligence with the benefit of potentially saving their life by telling the buyer that the rig has a collapsible PC and make sure they know what that means. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  10. He jumped it twice eh? It has been my own personal experience that on the next jump he would have had a malfunction. It is possible to buy a rig and know nothing about a collapsible pilot chute. It happened to me when I got word of a rig at another dropzone half way across the state. I had only about 80 jumps and drove there myself. I jumped it there twice (first time on their pack job, second time on mine (did not cock the PC)). I jumped it at my home DZ twice (first time it worked, second time it didn't). Although for me, the opening times didn't seem unusual (except for the last one which I definately would have rode into the ground or until the CYPRES popped (whichever would have came first) had I not gone to the reserve). Shit happens. --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

  17. Duct Tape Jeff walks into a bar and sees his friend Paul lumped over the bar. He walks over and asks Paul what's wrong. "Well," replies Paul, "you know that beautiful girl at work that I wanted to ask out, but I got an erection every time I saw her?" "Yes," replies Jeff with a laugh. "Well," says Paul, straightening up, "I finally plucked up the courage to ask her out, and she agreed." "That's great!" says Jeff, "When are you going out?" "I went to meet her this evening," continues Paul, "but I was worried I'd get an erection again. So I got some duct tape and taped my penis to my leg, so if I did, it wouldn't show. "Sensible" says Jeff. "So I get to her door," says Paul, "and I rang her doorbell. She answered it in the sheerest, tiniest dress you ever saw." "And what happened then?" (Paul slumps back over the bar again.) "I kicked her in the face." --Art Sky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

    Do you have any radio stations whose frequency could be a time? Around here there's a station on 92.1. On more than one occasion I wanted to know what station was playing while driving. When I press the button to switch to the time, it would switch but say 9:21. Because I'm trying to drive and see the station at the same time, I don't always notices the lighted dots changed. Then I'd get annoyed at why the stupid button on the stupid radio wasn't working.
