Sorry to disagree, But nowhere in those drawings are there any signs of Beer or references to Boobies, Therefore we must conclude that these drawings cannot possibly of a Skydiver.

It seem alot of people are forgetting what it means to be an American. As an American you have the right to Disagree with Government Policies. You have the right to gather peacefully and protest those policies. You have the right to speak out against policies that you do not agree with. What ever happend to the old American beleif: Although I may not agree with what you have to say, I will defend your right right to say it with my life!

Did you ever read his Other Book "Vampire$", Not really Sci-Fi but he used the same characters (felix and Jack Crow) from Armor in a totally different setting. Sad that Steakly has only written 2 books. And if you happened to see the John Carpenter Movie by the same name, It bore absolutely no resemblance to the Book.

#1. Enders Game by Orson Scott Card #2 Armor by John Steakley #3 Anything by Heinlein (especially any book with Lazarus Long in it) #4. Any of the Callahan Books by Spider Robinson #5 Dangerous Visions Edited by Harlan Ellison (Hard to find but worth looking for)

Cessna 150 King Air Porter Casa Not bad for only 7 Jumps!

All that money you are "Throwing Away" on Interest is Tax deductible. If you are making over 30k per year this will make a big difference in your Taxes. Plus if you are renting, you are throwing away 100% of your monthly payment. Look at it this way, If you renting you are gaurenteed to be throwing away your money. If you buy, there is atleast a chance you will get some of it back (Actually a Very GOOD Chance). Buying costs about the same as renting on a monthly basis with alot more benefits. I agree with your assessment that the real estate market is due for an adjustment but it will have little to no effect on Entry Level Homes (In fact these homes should still increase in value as people in the really expensive homes start getting for-closed on and demand increases for lower priced homes) If you plan on staying in the same area for more than 2 years, Buy a house. You will be much better off.

Why do they call them "Apartments" when thay are all stuck together?

Two words can sum up dating "Dancers" as they preferred to called. "HIGH MAINTENANCE!!" I spent 4 years working my way through College as a DJ at various Atlanta Strip Clubs. At first I thought I had found the ultimate Dream Job. Get paid quite well to play music for nekkid women. I was pulling down $1500 a week tax free and finally had to walk away because I couldnt put up with the Drama any longer. Run while you still can!!

Currently reading "To Sail beyond the Sunset" by Heinlein. You can never go wrong with a good Heinlein book. Another great book if you can find it is "Fool on the Hill" by Matt Ruff. Great read.

Chandeliers! (A variation of Quarters) Everyone starts has a designated Glass about 1/4 full of Beer and there is a Full Glass that goes in the center. Everyone’s Glass is circled around the Center Glass. If someone bounces a Quarter into your Glass, you have to drink. If someone bounces into the Center glass, Everyone Drinks and the last one to finish their drink also has to drink the Full Center Glass also. If you make 3 shots in a row you get to make a rule. Some of the more interesting Rules: 1. Pronoun rule - No Pronouns. If someone uses a pronoun they must drink the center glass. (This is the hardest rule to follow I have ever seen) 2. Thumb Master - Someone is designated as Thumb Master, Every time they put a thumb on the table, everyone else must do so as well. Last one to get their Thumb down has to drink. 3. Drinking Buddy Rule. Every time you have to drink you get to pick someone to drink with you. 4. Strip Rule – If you have to drink, you get to pick someone to remove one article of clothing. (Variation that makes for interesting strategy when Combined with Drinking Buddy Rule as the Drinking Buddy is the one to pick who has to remove an article of clothing. You pick your drinking buddies very carefully) 5. Tea Pot Rule - Every time you have to drink you pick someone to stand up and sing the "I am a little Tea Pot" Song. (Very amusing after Strip rule has been in place for a while)

Yes WE HAVE A RIGHT. Legally and otherwise. Any Police report regarding the death of a skydiver does become public record. The General Public has a Legal right to that information and it can be requested by any interested party. The Coroners report will also become public record and should contain a Toxicology report. We definitely have a right to the facts and any extenuating circumstances (such as intoxication) that resulted in a fatality at a place where we chose to engage in potentially life threatening activities. In my Opinion, a DZ should be required to disclose any and all information regarding Fatalities at their Business (especially if it involved students). Sadly, I do not think that there is a law requiring this. So we have to wait for Public Record to become available. Students who are putting their lives in the hands of of Trained professionals and PAYING for their services have a right to know about their safety record.

A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking it the monkey is running wild. The monkey jumps up on the pool table and grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole. The bartender is livid and says to the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?" "No. What did that stupid shit do this time?" says the patron. "Well, he just swallowed the cue ball off the pool table, whole" says the bartender. "Yeah, well I hope it kills the fucker because he's been driving me nuts" says the patron. The guy finishes his drink and leaves. Two weeks later he comes back with the monkey. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running wild around the bar again. While the man is drinking his drink, the monkey finds some peanuts on the bar. He grabs one, sticks it up his ass, then pulls it out and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" he asks. "What now?" responds the patron. "Well, he stuck a peanut up his ass, then pulled it out and ate it" says the bartender. "Well, what do you expect?" replied the patron. "Ever since he ate that damn cue ball he measures everything first!!!"

I first did 2 Static Line Jumps under a Piglet 23. Then 2 Tandem Jumps a few years later. Now trying to get past Lvl 5 AFF.

Quit Work. Buy RV. Adopt several SkyBabe`s to help me drive the RV around to every DZ in the country. I would be broke within a year but what a great year it would be!!

Posting condolences is a way for the poster to express their grief. It is not necessarily posted for a family member to see. It is posted as a statement of understanding and/or sympathizing with the family that has lost a member. Whenever someone goes in, I think most everyone feels a loss and for some it helps to express this feeling and discuss it with others who share similar feelings.

Enders Game is definitely one of the best books I have ever read!! Rumor has it that there is movie in pre-production right now based on this book. Another highly recommended book is “Armor” by John Steakly. And of course anything by Robert Heinlein. Find a book with Lazarus Long in it and you cant go wrong.

I am relatively new to Skydiving, but my other passion Drag Racing has a charitable organization called D.R.A.W. (Drag Racing Association of Women) that is set up to help out Racers and their families whenever they are hurt or worse in the sport. They help out with medical expenses, lost income and set up college funds for children who lost their Mothers or Fathers to the sport. I am surprised that there is not a similar organization for Skydivers.

Little BILLY goes to school, and the teacher says, "Today we are going to learn multi-syllable words, class. Does anybody have an example of a multi-syllable word?" BILLY says " Mas-tur-bate." Miss Rogers smiles and says, "Wow, little BILLY, that's a mouthful." Little BILLY says, "No, Miss Rogers, you're thinking of a blow-job."

Angelina!! All the way. #1 on my top 5 list (and has been since I first saw Hackers) If there is any doubt who is the hottest, Check out the movie Foxfire. It is an independent film she made before she got real famous. She plays a Female Rebel without a Cause type character. Pure Angelina at her finest.

This String walks into a bar. The bar-keep throws him out because they don’t serve Strings. So the string rolls himself up in a ball and messes up his ends and hops back into the bar. The Bar-keep says, "Hey, aren’t you that string that I just threw out?" "No" the string replies, "I am afraid not".

Dyslexic’s of the world Untie!!

A mushroom walks into a bar and says, Bar-keep.. A round of drinks for everyone, on me. The bar-keep replies, you sure are a nice guy. The mushroom replies "No, I am not a nice guy, I am a Fun Guy!!"

I am spending the entire weekend at Atlanta Airsportz trying to finish up my remaining AFF jumps. Also going to be my First Boogie. I know "Beeeer!" and since this is the First time I owe beer, does that mean I owe 2 cases? or does my student status get me any exemptions??
