37, but I feel like I'm 36! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Dude, All DMV's suck!!! Take my word for it! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

My home DZ does some radio spots in the spring. Also I organize events at work, (i.e. crime prevetion, anti-drug rallies) and our DZO let's local celebreties do Tandem's. It promotes the DZ and my events. We've taken two TV reporters and one radio DJ. One jump was even filmed from a News Helicopter flying formation with us, it was really cool X-games type stuff. That in turn allowed our demo team to jump the same helicopter on the 6 o'clock news! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Well said!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Congrats, I think you'll like your Triathlon! It's a great choice for a first canopy. What color pattern is it? "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

That sucks, I think some deserving skydiver should have won that money! I spend ten bucks on the powerball, they owe me! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Bill, I agree our foreign policy can be short sighted. The aid to the mujahideen and our implicit support for Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war are prime examples. BUT it kinda goes to the "he's a bad guy, but he's OUR bad guy" philosophy. Sometimes the means to an end aren't pretty. And your America's the only country to use WMD argument is factual but based on emotion. For an educated guy like you that's the easy way out. The use of nukes was very necessary, it saved MILLIONS of lives on both sides. As far as using them on people of one race, hello, Mcfly, (bad 80's reference) those were the people we were fighting with! We didn't chose that path, they did. Given a role reversal, and Germany was an island, and they had a record of fighting to the last man, we would have nuked them too, and for good reason! Things have to come to a head, unfortunately, the current path is, IMHO, the right one. The world will be a better place after all the chips fall. And I'm one of the guys the chips might fall on!! I already missed an entire summer of jumping, to go play in the sand, and that REALLY sucks!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

I feel your pain bro, I spent the WHOLE summer in the sand, and I'm a reservist!!! Good luck, kick ass, and keep your head down!! Blue Skies! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Now THAT'S funny!!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Ahhhh..yes, true justice!!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Cool, Thanks for the info!! The day of my first tandem I watched a couple test jumps in Xenia Ohio (including a malfunction!). That was in Oct 94. I was always curious as to the outcome, all i knew (according to Jim West) was that the military didn't go for the rigs. I couldn't remember the name of the main. He used one as a student canopy for several years, I got slammed by it once when I was a student! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

ARGHHHHH................... My eyes.................. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Na, too long. You young whipper snappers just don't get it!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

What you talkin bout' Willis? Sex, drugs, and LSD, we're the class of '83! Did I really say that? "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Our three little furry bundles of joy like to bring in all kinds of critters. Our personal favorites are the baby (and sometimes grown) snakes. Whenever we come home and all three cats and the dog are staring at a particular spot, we know it's critter time!! Sometimes dead, sometimes alive!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

I'm originally from Cleveland, every Sunday morning we had Frankie Yankovich, not excluding church dances. I can polka my ass off....but it got cut just like dance did!! It's my fir....initial poll so give me a break! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

I hate country but, Nashville is REALLY cool to hang out in. We go there at least twice a year to listen to live music. My wife likes country. Right now i'm listening to Chevelle, they rock!! And my first car was a Chevelle!! I'm old! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

i had dance on there but it got cut. Sorry "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

I'm 37 and never grew out of the head banging stage. My daughter is 13 and she likes jazz, go figure, maybe she's rebelling! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

TV CSI huh? Ever smelled a real roasting homeless guy? Kinda smells like chicken................ "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Spectator hell, i fully plan to run around naked, until the greenpeace guys(and hopefully gals) catch me, all the while keeping my skin wet, and roll me back into the nearest body of water!!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Hmm...... I've jumped there for almost ten years. He has made enemies because of his morals and ethics (nuf said), even the USPA. If you jumped there and have proof, PM me. If not don't listen to other people. I've been in a couple of hairy situationw with him flying and I felt very secure. I can't say that with other pilots from other DZ's "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Facts, my friend, facts, Paul Fayard stalled the CASA at the Richmond boogie, (too many jumpers hanging) and he pulled it out. Paul Fayard started jumping years ago with who else but, Jim West. I can't say for sure that Jim trained him but, your assumptions are wrong. I've known Jim West for 9 years and there is no finer person, pilot, or mentor! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Dude, i'm so diverse, my wife and i went to one of the new artsy fartsy bars in town early, complete with the gay bartender and $1000.00 art on the wall. We finished the night at the local VFW, (of which i am a member). We laughed all the way home, complete with the drunken vet who we had to drive home!! For me Burning Man would be just be another experience!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

If I were you I'd sue, contact the ACLU and tell them you're not being included. Other than that I'd say, fuck the skygods and find jumpers who just like to have fun. Come to Ohio or Kentucky and we'll jump with you! Blue Skies! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"
