The only problem is that all of them want to be "just friends". I think it's the turd in the bathtub thing. They just don't want to let it go. Nearly knocking a casket off its pedestal at a funeral didn't help either.

Compared to me, Andy is a smooth talker. He's got the long hair thing going for him too. Plus he has no history of posting turd pics on dz.com. Anyway, Andy and I were talking with a woman who was sitting around doing stuff on her laptop. I asked her if she ever gets on dropzone.com and explained that it's a really great skydiving website. She responded by saying that she only had 40-something jumps so no, she wasn't on that website. Then she asked us if we got on the site to try and hook up with sleazy women and tell 'em to "come on over!" or something like that.

Huh?!!! Andy, we must look like really dirty old men.

I wasn't quite sure what to say so I told her that no we didn't do that because we both have long histories of striking out even with sleazy women.:D:D:D:D:D

LMFAO!!:D



Ok, to be fair she was in a bit of a funk. Gonzo and I had sat next to her on a load. She had ridden the plane down on the previous load because she realized she had forgotten to turn on her AAD. [snicker]

Anyway, she asked me for a pin check and I was unable to verify that her pilot chute was cocked because only white kill line was showing through the window in the bridle. Gonzo checked it and came to the same conclusion. Naturally she didn't ask for the pin check until just before jump run so we didn't have time to pull her pilot chute out, verify it was ok, and fold/stow it.

So there I was packing over by where Andy was sitting. She walked up and I asked her if her pilot chute had been cocked. She told me it had. I felt bad for her but she seemed to take it ok and figured fate had intervened. Looking back on it she was probably thinking I was the biggest asshole on the planet and, since I was talking with Andy and obviously knew him, it was a guilt by association kind of thing.

Still, we must seriously look like dirty old men for her to have said that.:D:D:D

Edited to add: I wasn't happy to meet all those evil bugs. I have too many bites to count. B|



Not that anyone wants to see a CLOSE-UP of my ass, but you want to talk about bug bites... B| There was only one or two people who got to see them up close and personal, but really, bug bites on your ass is nothing to brag about. :S:D

Oh yea, the pic is NSFW or for the weak-stomach... My ass is huge... :|
