Explain your sig file thread

Fat isn't skinny, stupid isn't smart, and slow is definitely not fast.



When I was learning 4-way, our instructor told us that we had to be stable before transitioning to the next point.

If we made some wild turn and pounced on the grip, then the whole thing would wobble. We then had to wait until going to the next point. If we went slower, we didn't transition any momentum into it and we actually did more points.

As a newbie, "slow was fast" until we learned how to turn, then do a counter-knee-turn quickly to bleed momentum. Then "fast was fast". B|

Oooh...here's an opportunity to give a clue about my sig line. According to the same source as my sig line, Albert Einstein has had someone touch his butthole, along with Isaac Newton and Abraham Lincoln.

Mine is from a Moby song off of Everything is Wrong, I think. It reminds me of my first jump, AFF, out the door of a Cessna, finally off the hill looking at the ground and my two instructors, performing all my duties. And the one thought running through my head was that we were tiny up here, everything was so big, it was almost absurd and alien, we didn't belong so small and cold 2 miles above the surface of the earth all by ourselves.

Now it kinda makes me think of a solo jump where I'm just tracking and knowing I'm hauling ass all by myself up there...

Goofball, that's not 'fast', that's clumsy and out of control. But there's a difference and the cliche is way overused. We'd be better served to not spew the cliche and just teach the truth, be clean and smooth.

ripped it off - I think it's pretty obvious from where.

It's from the one where Homer joins Lollapalooza. He's on stage talking to Billy Corgan. Conversation goes something like this:

Billy: "Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."
Homer: "Homer Simpson, smiling politely."

After an 'incident', I changed my cell phone so that it said "Think" when I turned it on. It serves as a reminder to me to think before I get into something and when things invetiably go wrong, to think my way out of it.

I think that sometimes take it the wrong way, that I am telling them to think, kind of an insult. It isn't. It is just my personal 'mantra'.

I'm gonna guess that it's a headline from The Onion.
