Felix on the news

How about "I don't ever need to touch my own genitals as I have Space to spank my stuntmonkey"?



Just funnin' Space. You're still the BASE Zen-Master General in my eyes.

$kin.

Prizes to anyone who gets to read my posts before Mr Aiello's son, Tom deletes them.

I really don´t get the joke Manbird. Can you elaborate? really.
I would like to throw it in Felix´s face. But I really do not understand your punchline.
take care,
space

Funnin´ is totally cool. But I am miffed about JB taking a forum position and not backing it up in the forum with "how to do it better" ideas that I respectfullly asked him to for. Thanks for the BZ-M ordainment. highly appreciated! Though I am just a lowly inconsequintial jumper who has seen some stuff and applied it accordingly in order to........
take care my funnin friend.

Don't worry, Space. Manbird is a super geek. Very few people get his sense of humor.

Edit to add: But his write up on Jeb and Luigi dock in this thread was pretty much the funniest thing I've ever read on these forums.

In fact, it's so funny I'm going to cut and paste it here, even though it's both off topic and a cross-post. See what you can get away with when you're buddies with the moderator (or you _are_ the moderator)?

Luis Cani was expecting a new parachute from Icarus. He received a package in the mail containing a red t-shirt with a note taped to it that read, "We're sorry, production is taking longer than expected, please accept this t-shirt as an apology." He was so excited that he didn't read the note, and mistakenly took the t-shirt for a skydive.

Jeb Corliss, a man reputed to have been expelled from a secret ninja society after assassinating one of its leaders, was on the aircraft.

"Luis said he was opening high, so I had to go out first," reports Corliss, "that's what wingsuit BASE ninjas are supposed to do."

Jeb Corliss (known behind his back as "JC3") had quite a surprise early in his skydive. "I was in the middle of a badass flatspin when Luis shows up right next to me with that damn t-shirt over his head!" says Jeb, whose true identity is unknown. "I was freakin' out and flew over to tell him the dire situation he was in, but he just zoomed right past me! There was no way to catch him, so I did 75 gainers."

We caught up with Luis to tell us what happened from there. "The canopy was very fast," says the horse jockey turned parachutist, "and I couldn't stop thinking about frying bananas."

"I saw Jeb on the way down and it was very annoying. He was bothering me, so I kicked him in the hand." Luis rested on his heels before returning to his tip-toes to say, "I needed to focus, because this parachute was very small and I was wearing a lead safe. I checked my altimeter and I was at 7,000', so I started my hook turn. Five seconds later, at 1,500', I initiated a flare, and felt the parachute hit the back of my head right before I landed."

Upon landing, Luis received massages from fourteen foreign celebrities that no American, save Jeb Corliss, has ever even heard of. He was then escorted by rocket to a private island, and was unavailable for further comment.

if you are thinking of that new bridge in france, it is the highest motorway-bridge about to be built in europe. the road is appr. 300m above ground, the pylons go up to 400 m. it was designed by sir norman forster (thank you!).
you can have a close look at this at www.brueckenweb.de, the german bridge-database.
AFAIK there has been a fatality from a french jumper there, estimated bridle/arm entanglement.

No fatality on this bridge. The fatality a few months ago was on another bridge (french jumper, beginner, supposed bridle/arm entanglement).
