The twins were well fed today. Now, they're sleeping it off so they can get back to their plotting to take over the world when they wake up. Zing Lurks

Never had a good blowjob, there, Billy? Zing Lurks

I made a leap and shared a laugh with Gene Minnel (sp?) from Alaska a couple years after he hit the ground in freefall after cutting away from his main and failing to pull a ripcord far enough to open his spare. It was a on a demo into a new shopping center in Fairbanks, I think, around 1979 or 1980. He died a couple years ago from cancer, buty one of the skydivers who watched said they ran over to the edge of the parking lot expecting to find a dead body, but Minnel looked up and said, "that wasn't so bad." He claimed he aimed for the trees on the edge of the lot and rolled onto his back just before hitting the branches, and then the snow removed from the parking lot piled beneath the trees. Seems he had massive bruises, a couple broken fingers and a crushed heel on one foot that hit the edge of the pavement. On the other hand, I've seen bounces who exploded into pieces on impact and others that hardly seemed damaged at all ... but they were dead. The worst ones are the ones that are still trying to move and (sometimes only trying to) talk, but they're going to be dead anyway, whether an ambulance gets there or not. Zing Lurks

If I recall correctly, that warm liquid in D Ray's sleeping bag came from a chunky fart. I think that was the same year he won a StratoFlyer in the raffle ... and couldn't even give it away. Zing Lurks

Obviously, you ain't drinkin' enuf! Zing Lurks

There's a few folks who have told me we had a pretty good time at one or two of the Ghoulidge Halloween and Easter boogies I ran. I can't remember. I do recall the night naked star at the 76 SCR Stumbles. Zing Lurks

So, shovel the snow you move on top of their cars, or if the doors aren't locked, shovel into their cars. Zing Lurks

Nope ... wasn't me, but this poor deluded bastard is gonna be REAL sorry he took that loan. The only license I ever paid for was my private ticket. All the add-ons and type ratings etc. were paid for by the companies I flew for. Zing Lurks

We're workin' on it. Zing Lurks

Both of mine are snuggled up in my favorite chair, but the way they are staring at me, I suspect they're plotting which part of me they'll eat first if I keel over dead and no one comes to fill up their food bowl. Zing Lurks

Hey, according to USPA, its a safe sport, membership is up, everything looks good through their rose-colored glasses ... and they don't like her anymore. If she gets impeached, I'm giving up my lifetime membership to USPA ... oh wait, those fuckers at USPA already terminated it 30-some years ago. Oh well. guess the good-ole-boys network is gonna do what it damn well pleases ... again. Zing Lurks

"Just like a Timex!" Finally talked your wife into that blowjob you always wanted, eh? Zing Lurks

Just wait until you get around to the REALLY fun stuff. Zing Lurks

Pfffft ... read the book??? Rookie! Zing Lurks

Only when I fart. Zing Lurks

The name is "Thumper" to you ... bitch! Zing Lurks

No worries, its merely the recycled data panel from a Mark I ParaCommander. If you cut the data panel out of a Mark II or a Mark I, it made the center drive hole in the back about the same size as the Competition ParaCommander's blowhole. Lots of PCs had that mod done to them. The problem with sliders on early ParaPlanes was finding rings large enough to slide cleanly past the knots and heat-shrink on the cascades of the 750 lb lines.

Friday, Jan. 11, 2008 Skydiving Rings in New Year on a 'High' Note as Safety, Popularity Soars U.S. Parachute Association Sets 45-Year Safety Record, Reports Record Membership Increase U.S. Parachute AssociationFREDERICKSBURG, Va., Jan. 11 — Things are looking up for the skydiving industry. According to the U.S. Parachute Association (USPA), America's premier skydiving association, 2007 made history as the year skydiving took a dramatic turn upward as one of the most popular adrenaline sports in the nation. USPA reports that 2007 was one of the safest on record with 18 skydiver fatalities -- out of over 2.5 million jumps. That number surpasses a 1962 record for skydiving's fewest accidents. Considering that in the early 1960s, USPA was only about 10% of its current size with 3,353 members and the aggregate number of jumps was considerably less than today's 2 million+ jumps, this record stands out even more as a testament to years of strict safety standards, training policies and programs. "This has been a group effort," said Ed Scott, Executive Director of USPA. "USPA policies have been applied by every skydiver in the nation, as well as coaches, instructors, safety/training advisors, drop zone owners, riggers, pilots, manufacturers and gear distributors. We should all take pride in the strides we have made in skydiving safety the past half century." And the good news doesn't end there. Significantly more people are taking up the sport. USPA membership soared in 2007, with a significant number of new skydivers joining its ranks. USPA ended 2007 with more members (31,264) than the previous year for the first time since 2002. The total number of new members in 2007 was 4,900, reversing a five-year downward trend; it's also the highest number of new members since 2003. The skydiving industry also saw an unprecedented upturn in the number of skydiving licenses issued by USPA; more than at any point in the last four years. USPA's 2007 Skydiving Review with additional stats/demographics will be released in early spring. USPA is dedicated to the promotion of safe skydiving nationwide, establishing strict safety standards, training policies and programs at 200+ affiliated skydiving schools/centers. The Federal Aviation Administration recognizes and supports USPA's successful leadership role in the self- regulation of skydiving. USPA hosts the National Skydiving Championships, the sport's largest and most exciting annual competition, October 18-25, 2008 (Skydive Arizona). Information: 1-800-371-USPA, http://www.USPA.org.

Call it whatever you want darlin' ... I still like it! Zing Lurks

I'm partial to that mole. Zing Lurks

I had a first year model Corvair convertible in the mid-60s, but only for a few weeks. Not long after I bought it a bunch of us skipped school on a warm Spring day and ended up down on the river doing donuts on the ice. As we spun to a stop on the last run the engine stalled and we heard the ice crack. Luckily, I had the top down, and all five of us bailed as the back wheels went through the ice. We watched as the car settled tail end first through the ice and sank in about 15 feet of water. The worst car I ever owned was a 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite. It was a fun little car when it was running, but it was cursed with Lucas Electric systems. If it rained, or the temperature went below 35 degrees F., it wouldn't start. Zing Lurks

Yeah, but which one? Zing Lurks

Guess the adoption is off, too then? Zing Lurks

Damn ... you're too easy, Shell, but as long as your gettin hitched, how about adopting me and keeping me in the lifestyle I should be accustomed to? Zing Lurks
