Sorry... I had "drain bramage." (corrected) ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Well hell, $60 can be a whole jump day! ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Hmm. That would make every ISP liable and every ISP a criminal. I think AOL Time Warner's legal department can quickly quash that one.... ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Hmm... the cauliflower here from H-E-B is always good (local SoTex grocer), it comes from Mexico so it's only a day or two old. Dunno about Sam's since I only go there to buy mega-huge packs of toilet paper... ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

I'm aromatically-challenged. I think I should be shielded from the infrurious odeiferous aeroexcrementations from oblivious people! (aka farting in the plane) POWER TO THE PEOPLE! THE A.C.L.U. SHALL STAND BEHIND US! DOWN WITH THE AEROEXCREMENTATION IN OUR SKYDIVING PLANES!!!!! ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

What is it with these vegetables, by the way? ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Hmm... I also have a craving for cauliflower right now. With ranch dressing. Strange. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

OK... you win if you're the last one to pull (aka the low one?) Hmmm ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

About bald: If I looked like (but not acted like, that sorry SOB) Stone Cold Steve Austin I don't think I would be intimidated by someone like, say Clay (sorry dude). ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

1. I bought a convertible because I used to walk to work. I now have to drive it every day. 2. I like velcro shoes, although I don't have a problem with shoelaces. 3. I speak Spanish a lot with I'm near my close friends and coworkers, but when I go to Mexico I speak it fairly infrequently. 4. I'm addicted to sliced cucumbers. 5. I'm scared of heights, I get vertigo, but I'm a skydiver. 6. I spent most of last week moving from apt #6207 to #6206. 7. I got hauled off in an ambulance at the WFFC... from a bicycle accident. (those golf carts can kill!) 8. I write tons of software at work, but I can only do it when I'm at home and no one else is bothering me, so I wind up writing none of it at work at all (so I post instead between meetings!) 9. I spend money not because I want what I am buying, but because I will get frequent flyer miles and "reward points." Amex loves me. 10. I can get by not smoking at work most days. When I start driving home, I chain smoke all the way until I go to bed. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

If sangiro will write some XML service pages (aka, a SDK) for DZ.com, I can put together an interface program that can look like a spreadsheet, or a newsreader, so it won't look like the web. How about it? I just need an XML page for each item: o) List the forum names o) List forum headers o) Show thread data for a specific thread o) Profile data I can use the existing CGI and pass back the session cookie dz.com uses to post replies back up to the forums. Messages can be handled even easier.... example below: quade Mmmmm I like your calves. Again, I can use the existing cgi to post message replies and new messages fairly easily. How about it? send email to [email protected] I have some components in Borland Delphi that do this quite nicely. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES!

Hmm.... maybe the cat gets its own deployment PC and ripcord. Should the cat get too contentious you could jettison the cat and let it float safely to the ground, unless it lands in the backyard of a kennel.... ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Tomorrow I think I'll wear my Jesus tshirt... I mentioned it earlier today... it goes something like: THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE FUCKING OF THE BACK OF THIS SHIRT. JUST KIDDING! JESUS LOVES YOU! ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

ROFL! How many of us still use "Riganomics?" from the 80s? (No, not Reaganomics... RIGanomics). Example: The down payment on this Mustang Cobra SVT will be about 2 rigs... ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Hmm... maybe this isn't a good idea. I mean, you hear all the B.S. when you're on the ground all day and in the plane, but you gotta hear it when you're in the air, too? Maybe NOT such a good idea. If a CRW dog is busy up in the stack and you can't get a hold of him for a course correction... do you just leave him a voicemail? ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

No! Just think of the adrenaline! This is much more dangerous than setting fire to your open canopy with a flare... now you have a cat that might get loose and start climbing up your lines, over your face, etc... "Kitty kitty! Come down kitty! {rip} No! Kitty come down! {rip/teeear} KITTY!!!! {rrrrriiiipp}" ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

I have it easy. I'm not ugly, I'm fugly! But then... I'm attracted to goth, so what do I know. I'm just f'd. Just ask Jessica, Snowflake, etc. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Those are 20 people who don't spot when they get out. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Oh come on SBS... we're all going to hear enough about (and touch, and taste, and smell... smell?) penises and vaginas when we go to the DZ this weekend... ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Okay. We had the skydiving dog (blue skies to his owner). Maybe, just maybe, the time has come for the skydiving cat. I'm sure someone could find something creative to make from spandex... ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

GIRLFRIEND! MAH COOKIE COULD BREAK YOU IN HALF! (Undercovah Brotha) ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

I'm sure the emergency procedures would have to be specialized since you can't see things like torn fabric, closed end cells, and other canopy traffic. But, there are work-arounds for almost all those situations. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

When I used to work for USAA, my boss was blind. He developed the condition from glaucoma and lost all his sight by the time he was in high school. He was (and still is) a programmer for the company for the past 17 years, and is typically more productive than sighted people becuase his interpreter (anyone that uses JAWS for Windows knows about this stuff) is turned up to mega-auctioneer speed. He can fly through his email faster than Clay can make nonsense postings about his penis. I'm even certain a blind person could perform a normal skydive (solo) thanks to the ingenious things we have like dytters and radios. We have come a long way since the 1970s. For most people out there, the only thing keeping you from doing what you desire is willpower. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Hmm.. if someone could come up with a "student helmet" with a headset that would be awesome. Most of my radio coaching in AFF was botched because of slider noise (non-collapsables) and wind noise. Maybe the reserve JM could wear the same helmet and give verbal queues to the student if he/she fails a level? ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES!

At Rantoul I saw someone with two audibles, an analog on the shoe, and one on the wrist. If you need this many gizmos to figure out how high you are, perhaps skydiving is not for you? I'm happy continuing to glance at my analog. I have a fashioned mount on my rig for it so I don't need to wear it on my hand or on my shoe or my chest strap, and it's always there so I never forget it. And when the thing busts, I can just slap velcro on the back of another Altimaster and put it on the mount on my rig. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES!
