  1. I scored 100%. Do you have one a little more challenging?
  2. Can you have Linux and XP on the same machine and toggle between the two?
  3. I hope they're not in charge of aiming the missiles.
  4. Holy S***, that was scary at first! What a riot. Did you create the Flash movie?
  5. LMFAO!!!!!! What is a burning oboe good for? Setting a bassoon on fire.
  6. Wow, that WAS an old one, though I must admit I told it at work today. Why do bagpipers walk while they play? They're trying to get away from the noise.
  7. My first cutaway was from a streamered PC. The Harness shifted and I had to grope for the R-3's. Luckily, I found them, chopped, then had to deal with a floating ripcord. What a day. Here's a pic of my (usually) trusty competition PC.
  8. Noooo! Keep 'em coming, they're great!
  9. Did you hear about the bagpiper's wife who couldn't stand it anymore? She left the bagpipe on the back seat of her car with the window down. When she came back there were two of them there.
  10. Thanks to you and all for your opinions. The low voter turn out might be only because most of us have never met or read much about the candidates. I appreciate a forum where people are willing to share their first hand knowledge of the candidates' positions on matters of great importance to us jumpers. I have to add I'm a little disappointed that those who claim to speak out for the fun jumpers, of which I am one, are the least diplomatic and most rebellious. They make very good points, but their manner of expression is so confrontational that I'm afraid they would be a most divisive element in our organization. Gentlemen, please leave the smear campaigns to the professional politicians.
  11. With a name like Arthur Anderson, you can just shred those nasty CC bills when they arrive
  12. Not an unusual question, and you never know if you don't ask. I knew some jumpers that would put together a biplane. The bottom jumper would cutaway and open a tertiary reserve strapped to his belly. The second jumper would then fly the biplane solo, feet firmly in the risers of the canopy below, and actually land it. You definitely need to make lots of jumps before trying that! Blue skies
  13. What's the difference between a trampoline and a banjo? You take your shoes off before jumping on a trampoline.
  14. Welcome to the sport. Your experience is not as uncommon as you might think. I started jumping in 1977 near Hagerstown. You know what? I remember looking out the door on my second jump and wondering why I was more scared than I had been on the first! If you're not scared, you aren't right. Won't be long before the fear turns to joyous anticipation. Excellent pic!
  15. If the airbag in your car was due for a repack, would you drive into a wall?
  16. Poor French horn, never gets respect. How do you get a rock guitarist to stop playing? Put a chart in front of him.
  17. I jumped at Chambersburg for about 20 yrs. The big planes always leave this time of year, no money to be made when us cold weather wimps hibernate. I think Orange flies their Otter year round and the atmosphere there is great. It's a long drive from Fredneck, but that part of Virginia is a pleasure to drive through. If you want to get a quick jump in, go to The Skydivin' Place in Kingsdale, PA. It will only take you about 30 minutes to drive there. It's a one Cessna operation, but you will get jumps in, they alternate between students and experienced jumpers. It's a very friendly drop zone. Just call the day before and they'll tell you what time wheels will be up.
  18. she's so fat she was standing on a street corner and a cop told her to break it up.
  19. I can never remember the words
  20. Not to make light of a serious question, but a word of caution. If you're scattering the ashes from an airplane, make sure the container is all the way out before opening it. A friend of mine was the pilot on a scatter from a Cessna once. Spmeone opened the bag too soon and the ashes blew back in the plane. The pilot was blinded for over a minute.
  21. Bada-bing! One old musician joke deserves another; What's the definition of perfect pitch? When you toss an accordian into a dumpster and it smashes a banjo.
  22. Wait until you tell your whuffo friends about it. Most of them will never quite understand how it is possible to kiss in free fall without breaking teeth.
  23. Bari sax, must be a Gerry Mulligan listener.
  24. I've been playing guitar for about 30 yrs. Grew up on British Invasion, Hendrix, Cream, etc. Still love to play rock and blues, but jazz is my musical passion. Used to bring my acoustic axe to the DZ for campfire sing alongs. Have written a few songs sung to known melodies. Looking for a DZ that actually has a night life, things are getting to serious and boring my way. Get some changes down and let's jam - bebop rules! (if you're a musician you'll understand my ID right away )
