VivaHeadDown 0 #26 September 21, 2002 Maybe he's onto something. I laughed the hardest on the one about "Ken", and I feel somewhat guilty. Why is it funny that these conversations have a good chance of going that way? Ah what the hell, we all know why, and I'd never give up jumping to be a whuffo. There's too many good reasons to being a jumper that far out weigh the reasons to be a whuffo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisionAir 0 #27 September 21, 2002 You don't have to explain what a whuffo is to every non-jumper. Btw- How many posts does it take to get off this noob title. I registered 18 months ago and I'm still a noob?...Any older noobs out there? Huh?!? What cloud?!? Oh that!!! That's just Industrial Haze Alex M.
