Cool, although keep in mind I've got plenty of inanities of my own... See you there bro, and Blue Skies! “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Looks like I'm in too... I've heard good things about Sobe, so I guess I gotta check it out. See you all there! “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

I'm sure you'll have a good time at Z-Hills. The people there are awesome. Look forward to seeing you guys there this weekend. “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Masterbating...writing on the wall. (get it?) Anyone here know anything about....masterbating? “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

I could imagine. Believe me I've been there. My ex wife was cheating on me with a friend of mine, and this was 6 months after our baby was born. The only reason I didn't do something stupid was for my son's sake...otherwise I probably would have. On a lighter note, many years ago in high school a guy I know was constantly being pestered by the girl who sat behind him in homeroom to ask out this other girl who liked him. Finally, after weeks of nagging, he turned to the girl behind him, said, "Fine," and yelled across the room, "Hey, [other girl], wanna go out with me?" She quickly said, "Yes." At which point he answered, "Okay. You're dumped." “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

OMG! So what did you do? I hope you sacked up and did something stupid and crazy that ended up on your permanent record... “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

I was listening to this song the other night and thought of a couple unconventional ways people I know have used to break off a relationship. A girl I went to high school with spelled it out in spray paint on her boyfriend's car when she found out that he had been cheating on her. The entire school and community knew what had happened after that. A guy I had a class with in college was engaged to a girl who started out great and slowly became demanding, possessive, jealous and secretive. He ended their three year relationship by tacking a note to the TV that said, "I'm gone. F*ck you. Keep the ring - it's fake anyway". He had all of his stuff moved out before she got back from work. These aren't very good examples, but I expect most of you freakshows to have some truly amazing tales. What different ways have you or someone you know used to break it off with someone? “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

That's not happening anytime soon! I grew up in Phoenix, now live in Tampa...this boy ain't made for cold weather. Now give me a 115 degree day in Phoenix and I'd be happy. “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Good advice, although to be honest, I'm not really concerned about getting her fired, since I'll be gone in a few months anyway. Even if I went through those steps, nothing would happen. The owner knows what she's doing, but he won't do anything about it. She's been here 15 years, he's only owned the firm for five. Plus she produces some decent numbers. The owner here has no backbone. She pretty much runs the show. After a couple of years, I've just learned to laugh at her antics. “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Actually, this thread isn't about revenge. Its simply a question posed to the DZ.commers about what their coworkers do that annoys the piss out of them. I should probably start wording my questions better. “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

She's probably on her way out anyway. She's had lung cancer, and only has one lung left. She still smokes at least a pack a day. “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

I second Z-Hills. We've had great weather the last couple of weeks, and by the end of Feb it shouldn't be too cold here. “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Well I guess my Office Space thread has turned into a practical joke thread, so I guess I'll make a new thread devoted to that. The best practical joke I ever pulled on somebidy ws called the Atomic Situp. Back when I was in Basic Training (Ft Knox - '92), we had this guy in our platoon who was a total tool. I forget his name, so let's just call him Tool. Myself and two others bet him $20 that he couldn't do three Atomic Situps. So of course he took the bet. So picture this... We blindfold the tool, and he gets in a situp position. One guy sits on Tool's knees, with his back facing him. Myself and the other guy are on either side of Tool, and we are supposed to press down on this guy's chest to provide resistance while he does the situps. He does one situp, then two...no problem. On the third, the guy on Tool's knees pulls down his shorts, and instead of providing restistance, we press Tools face into his ass. He was nose deep in asscrack for a good 2-3 seconds before he realized what was going on (keep in mind that he was blindfolded). Moral of the story: If someone bets you that you can't do an Atomic Situp, don't take the bet. So what other practical jokes do you guys have up your sleeves? “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Well, the last 4 months that I've been involved in the sport has been the most exciting and rewarding 4 months of my life. Needless, to say, I think I'm sticking with it... “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Hey! You set the parameters here! Touche' “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Strictly a class move! “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Congrats!!! Once you buy your first rig, it'll get cheaper. The only problem is that after AFF and gear, you'll have no money left to jump, regardless of how cheap it is. Life's a b*tch, ain't it? Don't forget to buy beer!!! “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Sounds like she's an attention wh*re. “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Thanks! And yes, I will be buying pleanty of beer, probably with the money I'll be saving from not renting gear anymore. So does this mean I'm a legitimate skydiver now? “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

Here's how we found out about the listing. She had it up on her computer, and I guess she forgot to close the window when she went to lunch. She has some disgusting picture posted (which still haunts me to this day), and she put down that she was looking for groups of men. Gross... “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

It scares me that you corrected somebody on the proper spelling of bukkake... “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

I just wanted you all to know that I finally got my first rig! It's about a 10 year old Javelin (nothing to look at or else I would have posted a pic), but the canopy (Sabre 170) is almost new...not even a 100 jumps on it yet. The only bad thing is that it has some pink on the container. Not that its such a bad thing I guess, but being a guy I'm not too partial to pink. But I guess beggers can't be choosers, right? No more renting gear for me! “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

I sit 5 feet to the right of my coworker who is a f*cking lunatic. She's about 65, easily 200 pounds overweight, is the most overbearing person I've ever met. You can't even talk to her without getting into some kind of argument. We work in a commission environment (we're recruiters), and has thrown many of us under the bus over the last couple of years (she cost me about $9,000 in commissions last year alone by snaking a couple of deals). On top of that, she sits at her desk clipping her toenails, picking her nose, and noisely chomping down on food. Filthy... Here's the best part though. She lists herself on these adult personnals sites. Not the normal ones, but the ones that cater to swingers. So she'll be talking to people she meets online, trying to talk sexy on the phone while she's setting up liasons. And she does this at work. Its absolutely disgusting. The thing is, she'll never get fired, as she produces good numbers, and she's been here for some 15 years. So here's the question I pose to all of you in DZ,com land..... What things do your co-workers do that irritate to the point of wanting to stab them with a letter opener? “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

As a squad of American soldiers was patrolling the Iraqi border, they came across a badly mangled dead body. As they got closer, they found it was an Iraqi soldier. A short distance up the road, they found a badly mangled American soldier in a ditch on the other side of the road, struggling to breath. They ran to him, cradled his blood-covered head and asked him what had happened. “Well,” he whispered, “I was walking down this road, armed to the teeth when I came across this heavily armed Iraqi border guard. I looked him right in the eye and shouted, ‘Saddam Hussein is an unprincipled, lying piece of trash!’” “He looked me right in the eye and shouted back, ‘George W. Bush is an unprincipled, lying piece of trash too!’” “We were standing there shaking hands when the truck hit us.” “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh

A first grade teacher had a small number of children gathered around a table for a reading group. After the story was read she gave the children a work sheet to do. She thought they may have some problems so wanted them to work on it there. She heard a little girl say very softly "damn!". The teacher leaned over and said quietly, "We don't say that in school." The little girl looked at the teacher, her eyes got very big and she said, "Not even when things are all fucked up?!" “If you hear a voice within you saying, ''You are not a painter,'' then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent van Gogh
