  1. Back in July, I bought my baby sister Mary a tandem for a college graduation present. It was my first tandem also. She wants to go again, but can't afford it. I'm totally addicted and have made 16 more jumps (AFF, Coach, etc) since November. My other sister Katie went to the dropzone to watch Mary and I make the tandem jumps. Mom went too. It was fun telling people I brought my next of kin with me. After watching, both Mom and Katie want to try it, but both have weight issues they need to sort out first. Mom even likes watching my AFF videos. Even the one where I totally dick up a solo exit and tumble for 3000 ft. (At least I recovered it eventually...) Mom still talks about taking a tandem ride. Hopefully it will be motivation for her to get her health back in order.
  2. Actually, anything over 80 is reckless in VA. As for what to do about it, I don't know, contact the DA office maybe?
  3. Calling it "work" would be a stretch. I prefer to think of it as "showing up"
  4. On the bright side, they now have waterfront property.
  5. Have you ever thought of joining in? Just stand behind them and belt out some carol at random. The deaf caroler would be awesome.
  6. So you're saying there are benefits to being deaf...
  7. I lurk here mostly and I've only started jumping recently, but Lee was one of several people on here that always made me think, "Gotta love this crowd!" My condolences to all his friends and family.
  8. Why do I get the urge to turn this game into some type of low pull contest?
  9. That second one made me jump back in my chair a bit.

    Holy guacamole!

    Thanks! Absolutely stunning. Can it run more than 5' without passing out? If the Great Danes I've known are any indication, they are a step up from furniture once they get past the puppy stage. Sweet, lovable furniture, mind you, that makes poop bigger than most Yorkies.

    Dogs..

    I used to date a girl who had a great dane. The dog wasn't allowed on the bed for obvious reasons, but occasionally on a lazy sunday morning, Maggie (the dane) would "sneak" up on the bed and we'd let it slide. Now watching a dog her size "sneak" around was quite comical. Her thought process went something like ths: "Damn that bed looks comfortable. Lets see. Right paw on hte bed. Hold it. Okay, they didn't notice. Left paw on the bed. Holy Shit, they didn't notice that one either. Now inch forward ever so carefully [the bed shakes]. Ok, rear paws on the bed. [bed shakes worse]. Good now let me get in between them..." This usually ended the same way. Maggie would get in between us, and after about 5 minutes, she'd stretch out her legs and push us apart. Because of the weight difference, I'd stay put while Maggie's owner would find herself on the floor. Gotta love big dogs that think they're so smooth.

    Holy Cow!

    I was thinking more of that fat bitch that used to be on The View and had a public feud with Donald Trump. Damn, I can't even think of her name right now, thank God! But you made me think of her. Asshole.
  13. This has got to be a hoax started by someone trying to get his drunk buddy to stick his face in a bag of shit.
  14. Go look at internet porn. That should make you feel cleaner.
  15. It will probably affect me in a good way. Now I can catch up on all the crap I have saved on my DVR.

  17. did your instructor tell you this? i'm feeling you right there bro'.. Actually, I saw it on a t-shirt. It must have been written for me.
  18. WOO HOO!!!! I finally get to add to this thread! :2:you betcha 1st jump: AFF cat A: Exit could have been cleaner, I had good body position the rest of the fall, good pull, opened into line twists, but kicked out ok. Almost ran out the landing, but my foot slipped and I wound up on my ass. 2nd jump: AFF cat B: Exit was much better, but in freefall, I felt like a 6 yr old learning to ride a bicycle. Good pull, chute opened straight. Almost stood up the landing, but the flare was a little high and the momentum put me on my knees. (Let me guess, I'm gonna regret saying I was on my knees...) EDIT: Next jump, cat C! Great weekend. Even learned to pack! Standup landings are overrated.
  19. HAHAHA. Children labeled as a disease... Child support is the new STD.
  20. I got stuck on the one in FL. The ride broke down, but the puppets and the music didn't. I spent a half hour watching some Chinese puppet bang cymbals together before they let us out through maintenance access. I pretty much had that memory suppressed until now. Thanks...
  21. The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
  22. I once had the desire to put some of that stuff on my CBR, but then I quickly realized I get into enough trouble already. I guess I'm not quite out of common sense yet.
  23. So do you do this even when paying with a credit card at the pump? That would be really silly.
  24. You needed a jet kit to get the front tire off the ground??? You should add nitrous when you throw on the turbo. Maybe even one of those JATO bottles like in the urban legend.

    Tramp Stamp.

    I saw a stamp that was just a pair of eyes. I guess it was so you could look her in the eye while she was getting did.
