How about something along the lines of "I'll land you in your dream home"?

Dude.

Raccoons are cool!

I was JUST about to say... bring on the armadillo pictures!

Dude, that's a mighty sinister looking raccoon you've got there. Your cat probably wouldn't stand a chance against that thing.

This one is pretty bad too... http://www.ebaumsworld.com/squares.html

I hope I'm not being too optimistic, but I guess I'll also point out that there is a very high probability that you will not have a hospitalizing injury, and an even greater probability that you will not die. The glass... it's half full.

Yeah, I agree with that. I've yet to jump without instructors but I will tell you, after having dropped from 13K with my own parachute, I can say it's an experience I'd never want to have taken away.

The other hilarious part about that movie is when Keanu jumps out after Patrick (whilst wearing NO gear) and then grabs onto Patrick and proceeds to have a heated argument with him in freefall. "PULL THE CHUTE!!!"... "NO!!!" I knew nothing about skydiving when I saw that movie and I STILL thought those scenes were ridiculous.

AN ARMADILLO? I don't think I've ever seen an armadillo before. Poor little guy... there has to be someone who can help him. Good luck!

First of all, hijack away! That's what it's for. I don't think it's fair to tell yourself you should have jumped. You have to listen to your gut... always. Not just skydiving, but always. You're right though... you probably should have jumped and it was those damn nerves that got the best of you. I'll be sure to say hey to Brook, although somehow I just can't picture myself calling him "pimp daddy." I'm sure there's a story to go with THAT one, huh? ;-)

Ha! I DID ride the plane back down, so how about that? Rode it back down, with Brook sitting right there with me for moral support. He told me it took a lot more courage to do what I did than it does to exit the plane. Because of that, I'll always think he's just PLAIN F*CKING AWESOME. I went back the next week, did one more tandem with him and then did my first AFF jump (then second and third and fourth...) Oh, and, by the way, freefall and canopy ride are a hell of a lot less scary than riding the plane back down RIGHT over those mountains at Skydive San Diego.

Well, everything I've read says SCUBA is more dangerous anyway. So you took the safe way out!

If they have to go looking for dirt on your dz.com profile, you must be doing alright. ;-) What losers! I agree, fleas from camels are most definitely called for.

Hah! I love stories like this one. I have to ask... is SHE a skydiver? It's always great when the draggee keeps jumping and the dragger won't have anything to do with it. ;-)
