Base Polo Shirts

[JaapSuter 0]

Hey,

I have printed some shirts after Russel's Great Adventure. They were supposed to be ready for Memorial Day, but of course they showed up the day I got back from Twin Falls.

On the front it says: "Not funny, not cool..." and it has a silhouette of a go-and-throw. On the back it has Russel's X-ray pictures and it says: "...and even paraplegics smoke it low." I've attached a picture.

I've send out all the ones I have promised to people, but now I'm left with a few more. Since I'm not allowed to advertize on this forum, I guess I'll just have to give them away.

All you have to do is explain in less than 32 words why you base jump.

Entries will be judged on creativity, humour, sarcasm, romanticism and history. The deadline is Wednesday 10:00pm PST. After the winners are announced, they will be contacted by PM for their address.

The small print; the judges will remain anonymous. Nonetheless, if you have a suspicion who they might be, feel free to bribe or blackmail through personal messages and email. Copyright for the winning entries will remain with the original author. However, the organizer reserves the right to print new shirts with the winning entries to serve as prizes for the next contest: "Why base sucks..."

Hey, I want one.

I BASE jump because I want to keep my name on this forum at least 2.44765 times per day.

I want one, but I have to make a moral stand against those 32 words or less goddam "tie breakers"; I would be the proud owner of 3 cottages in Brittany, 2 Lamborghini's and a personal walk-o-meter if some spotty little intern at Arse Wipe Promotions had bothered to read my entry more carefully....

So although I would love one, I really can't get involved.

This artificial limitation had to be installed after the recent dropzone.com ban on essays.

Those people going slightly over the 32 words, don't despair. If you're entry is of high enough quality, we will overlook this requirement.

Is this for fucking real?

I base jump because: I love humanflight, from diving(swimming), skydiving, to Birdman. I love it in everyform. From the friends and the interaction between people, to the solos all alone.

No doubt in my mind at all, Im old school. There's only two reasons to BASE jump. For the girls, and for the glory. Everything else pales.

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

It seems to me that he manages to jump plenty...and his reports of all that jumping is quite entertaining.

Don't discourage him.

Hey Vanilla Ice (word!), unless I get your itinerary you'll be on your own next Sunday. Heathrow has four terminals, some details like airline, flight nr, terminal etc. would be nice.

I BASE because if I don't get scared like hell from time to time I get bored.

She said "if xxx jumped off a cliff would you?"

Mother - the answer is YES ....
