  1. Did ya hear the one about why the nympo regularly attended mass? Ask me sometime. (it's also a visual) 'In an insane society a sane person seems insane.' Mr. Spock
  2. Located northwest of Houston in Waller, TX at a fly-in community. It used to be the Waller Country Club, but the original DZ owner bought the clubhouse and the runway. so we're also next to a 9hole golf course. The indoor packing is nice. The swimming pool is nice to have, both during the day and also for those impromptu late night naked swimming parties. Nice landing area, and lots of outs if you can't make it back. (just try not to ruin any fences you may have to go over). and the SUPER OTTER ROCKS !!! here's the link http://www.skydivehouston.com/ What's the difference between a bad day for a golfer and a bad day for a skydiver? A bad day for a golfer sounds like "THWAK!.... Shit!" 'In an insane society a sane person seems insane.' Mr. Spock

  4. Lots of men fish. Far to few single women fish. 'In an insane society a sane person seems insane.' Mr. Spock
  5. Talking w/ one of the team captains last weekend and they are still looking for Qualified people to jump at Ballunar Liftoff. My previous post regarding this resulted in a lot of "oh wait, it's invite only, special list, etc". BS. If you don't let them know your interested, you'll never get an invite. If you asked and were told 'no', ask again next year when your more experienced. Don't take it personal dammit! Here's a copy of Chucks recdot post: 30-way competition from a CASA...$14.50 jumps!! We are filling the few remaining slots for the Ballunar LiftoffFestival, Aug 23 - 25, on the grounds of NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. We are looking for D licensed jumpers with appropriate ability in formation skydiving larger than 20-ways. Hot dogs not needed.This event ROCKS! It's actually a weekend-long demo cleverly disguised as a boogie. Steak dinner Friday evening, hotel pool party Saturday night, Infamous Tortilla Fightin' Sunday evening - and jumps into rocket field for the crowd at NASA in between the festivities!! 6jumps, $112 - $14.50 a jump!This event is by "invitation only", so interested jumpers must be approved by a team captain. We are also actively seeking new players with the qualifications.Call Chuck Akers at 281-960-7120 or e-mail chuck_akers@hotmail.com 'In an insane society a sane person seems insane.' Mr. Spock

  10. Don't forget the idiots in Austin who doused their friend w/ lighter fluid, he was a willing participant, and set him on fire resulting in 3rd degree burns and their arrest. "Y'all hold my beer and watch this!" 'In an insane society a sane person seems insane.' Mr. Spock

    Advice

    If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Enron stock you would have $16.50. If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans, you would have about $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. 'In an insane society a sane person seems insane.' Mr. Spock

  13. What? Pass it on? ok.... Hey, I hear there's a sexy dropzone opening in Nevada, by some chick named Jean. And she's bringing her twin! WOOHOO!! 'In an insane society a sane person seems insane.' Mr. Spock
  14. Don't get me wrong. I wish SkyDekker the BEST of both worlds. I totally agree that there are those that manage. I based my statment on SkyDekker's comment that "she absolutely hates skydiving", which is exactly the way Pat's then fiance felt. indifference would allow a possibility. hate? well.... I wish SkyDekker the BEST of both worlds.
  15. And... BONUS.... No waiting in ER. 'In an insane society a sane person seems insane.' Mr. Spock

    "Just want to clear the air, I completely understand that you don't wait for the AAD to pull the reserve, its a backup device and thats it" mental image of little hand coming out of container at 1000ft to pull reserve handle. "Just wanted to let everyone know that I had no intention of letting the AAD pull my chute." mental image of A12 fighting with said hand screaming "NO DAMMIT, I'LL PULL IT!".
