    have you guys come up with anything useful yet?



    Depends on what you mean by useful:ph34r:

    This marvelous thread has generated more traffic than the rest of dizzy. combined.

    It has something to do with Google search and potential future owners.:ph34r:

    OK OK I'LL give it another shot.

    Would you consider it useful if you couldn't stop laughing with tears running down your face.Read the stickie on page one. :D:D:D

    Warning we're treading on dangerous ground here.B| Peeps have been banned for less with the negative vibes related to this thread.
    You can't have unrealistic expectations about how challenging it is solve a major crime like this. :|

    If the premier law enforcement in the Greatest country gave up. You have to admire the DB groupies reluctance to ignore any clue and investigate it and debate it over over and over again.

    It's called defecation, devotion ocd among other things.

    BTW it's guys and gals. I think the female that is still posting claims to be db, wife. Sister, aunt, niece, daughter.

    Please pay attention there will be a written test.

    First, acquire a boner

    Second, ask TSA to skip those xray scanners in exchange for a pat down

    Third, don't fly commercial with your sky-rig



    Pre 911 and TSA we wouldn't even tell the private security folks what was in our carry on. The X ray machine would show the 3 ring, metal rip cord housing all the other miscellaneous metal parts on the rig.

    What's in the bag sir? Sports equipment :|:)

    Never had a problem, until we tried to fly out of Orlando. Security called their supervisor. As soon as she saw the xray. She knew what she was looking at and asked the right question.

    Is that a parachute sir? Yes it is.

    We got escorted with our sports gear carry on from the xray machine all the way back to the ticket counter by the nice lady. And she stayed with us until the bag got checked in for our flt.

    Then we had to go thru the same process but we had to start from the back of the
    line. No biggie,no back room, no shit list, no bitching, no rubber glove or the rubber hose.

    I never kept track but WAG. We were successful 80 to 90 % of the time. And we never lied:)

    We saw some peeps walking thru airports wearing their sports gear like it was a back pack. Not very subtle I'm guessing their success rate may have been similar to ours.

    Don't ask don't tell.;)

    Well, a friend of mine called the previous owner and asked if the Triumph was still for sale - and he answered "no, sorry I am selling it this weekend"

    So it would seem the rat-bastard is trying to re-sell the bike!!

    Alerted the police and they are tracking down the phone number.



    BingoB|B|

    Rat bastard sounds rather harsh. Maybe the dude just had a brain fart[:/]

    A smart lawyer could get the confused dude off in the U.S. with a lot of work.aka plea deal. For a fee. :ph34r: Great job for a bully lawyer.

    Lawyer revenge, their client is confused, drunk, whatever. They could get the dude a deal. But everyone knows lawyers can't afford to work for free. Money down before lay down. Or the lawyer is to busy working on a clients case that can afford to pay them up front.

    What's 101?



    101 refers to a person's age, some peeps like experienced women.

    Personal best. Or worst. ;)

    LP boogie demo at the brewery, nice lady had a cane with 4 toes on the bottom. She was watching the demo with 3 generations of her kids.

    Ask the nice lady with the cane if she wanted to go sit in my car.:)Her response was sure sweet heart let's go.

    Her kids were cracking up, that's grandma. I was :$ didn't have a car, didn't expect a yes so i went to my training. :ph34r:

    I've got a headach can I give you a rain check;)

    Lots of :D:D from every one.

    Then there was the older lady at kapow with the big oxygen bottle on wheels her husband was a WW2 vet doing a tandem.

    I asked the same question:). She directed her husband to get the small portable bottle of O2, and switch the air lines to the little bottle. :o:S:$.

    That time I did have a car, and just left.

    I was just joking, don't have a clue what she was thinking. :S. I learned my lesson never asked any female again to sit in my car.:$ one yes was one to many. Had nightmares getting tangled up in her O2 hoses.B|

    101 is triple digits that would be a new personal low or high depending a persons attitude, but I'm older so the age difference is static.

    Some jumpers are not kidding IMO a female Egyptian mummy could get hit on at a
    dz. Not my place to judge:|

    Promise trust me:ph34r: wash that makeup off your face, dress like a innocent 15 yo at the dz maybe in your Jr High cheer leading outfit. You might be :o How many dudes and a few women would hit on you at the dz.:S[:/]

    WAG 9.23156 % round off to 10% if your at a small dz with only 10 jumpers.

    We were in the air and some nice lady asked if she should jump top less or just naked. There were more than one of us that told her to forget it. Wrong DZ. Ask John Mitchell it was still is his home dz.:|

    If he doesn't remember he's confused or forgot.:ph34r: The annual dz xmas party looked like a HS prom night. Low cut fancy dresses for the ladies and tuxedos or dress military uniforms for the gentleman.:|

    I attended twice, screw their dress code. No way was my wife going to wear a dress. I still don't own a tie or a jacket.

    John is a nice guy and a team player. Some of us just do our own thing. Just like the urban legend jump instructors don't mess around with their students. You might be surprised the number of instructor's that married their student's.

    ***Beware of lesbian cow crossings? :S



    Which begs the question . . . do lesbian cows use strap-ons?

    Dear turtle

    Cows don't use whatever that thing is your talking about. They don't have opposed thumbs.

    They suck cow toes, and if the cow foot owner isn't happy with the cow foot sucker they will stop by a fresh cow paddy and stomp the shit out of it on the way to the bar at LP.

    Oops did I say that:$ those were the good old days at LP. It wasn't cows it was jumpers. Some female jumpers didn't like getting their toes sucked, they knew that some human males didn't understand the meaning of no.

    Payback is a bitch. :ph34r:.

    Watched numerous toe sucking on the pool table in the bar at LP over the years pre amazon and the tall guy LP fan club Pre hitting the boogie circuit. Pre mad john and the cock choir.

    Never witnessed a dumb ass dude jumper start sucking a human female foot and stop due to the fresh cow patty odor. Who knows maybe the dudes were more into eating the cow shit than the nice ladies feet. Different strokes for different folks:|

    Before you ask:D

    Of course I got it on video:)
    Trust me that shit will never hit utube. Non of the good old times at the LP bar that i personally shot will ever hit the internet. Shows to many faces and other various naked body parts of different genders.

    Someone would have to pry that video from my dead hands. Hell it's time to downsize anyway Low temperature thermal destruction aka wood stove works for me.:)
    On the same video we got a nice shot of the three from Arizona throwing up a cloud of dust as it worked it's ass off to get off the unpaved runway on a hot summer LP day 3.5k ft above msl. B| I can still hear the radial engines as it finally lifted off right in front of our tent. To bad so sad that's going up in smoke
    also.

    The Canucks sure know how to party A. Three cheers for the Canucks party onB|

    Reality or fantasy?;):).

    This channel will now return to the original subject. Lesbian cows wearing some kind of a thing.

    Well, Nat's motorcycle problem certainly makes my latest bike problem seem trivial. I came back from cycling yesterday, opened the garage door, and this caught my eye.



    How many miles on that tire :o. Did it come with the bike oem.

    I'm carefull with my $$.

    Used to pencil pack my reserve without a problem. USPA is to busy to fall in line with the rest of the world. Fine:ph34r:

    But I refuse to drive on well used tires. I drive to fast for a catastrophic blowout and trying to keep it on the pavement.Got 65k miles on the X boss' s tires. They had at least 2 k left:)
    But the X boss decided to split with the fur baby's, on a 4 k mile trip so I maybe in trouble[:/] leaving after 42 yrs meh, But taking the fur baby's with her was a low blow. Oops just found her cell phone.[:/] Interesting.

    Whine whine past the cheese.

    Paid $600 for another set of 60 k new tires for a car with 100k miles on it. The damn tires just keep on wearing out. Go figure:o

    The fur baby's are worth it. Even if one is terminal and I might never see him again.:( in the spirit of this thread, how do you find a missing spouse with our two fur babies.

    Not asking for lawyer input or advise. It is what it is and it will be what it will be.

    BTW The oem tires only lasted 35 k miles.[:/] But they came with the new car 11 yrs ago so they were sort of free.:D

    I would argue that no matter how well you do the stats on the fatalities.... you will still VASTLY underestimate the real risk because you omit injuries.

    Injury is common in skydiving and ranges from a bruise requiring an ice pack, to quadriplegia requiring an electric wheelchair and a ventilator! To ignore injury is to ignore a HUGE part of the risk that we face.



    Good for you Mr Glideangle

    The sorry thing about the bean count is when you ask people in the industry and some skysnobs why they don't count those type of injuries.

    They respond in public because they don't want to.[:/]

    They know who they are, and think very highly of themselves.:$

    The population of New York City is around 2.6% of the population of the United States as a whole. The joke is that one would conclude that by selecting me (or just anyone in the US) there's a 2.6% chance they select a New Yorker.



    We have a winner.B|

    I was born and raised in da bronx. Left in 1966 for god and country and never looked back. Great place to grow up and be from.:)
    I'm guessing the probability of running into a X New Yorker is a lot greater than 2.6 %;)

    Hey guys, sorry, I was jumping all weekend and didn't have a chance to reply at all. I'm looking for the large pea pit sized plastic tarp like circles with the accuracy rings printed on it, like a bulls-eye.



    Welcome back.

    Have you consider making your own.

    Blue tarp
    Stake in center of tarp
    Attach string and can of paint to stake.

    You get the picture, you can make one faster and cheaper than you can buy a real one.

    If you don't succeed at first try again. When you get it close enough sell them on the net. Your chance of getting it correct or incorrect the first time is 90%.:D

    Don't forget the paper plate to cover the hole in the center left over from the stake, nail, whatever. Some one gets a DC:)
    Sorry for my poor attempt at humor I just left the lawyer zone.:D:D

    FWIW :D Where in the world are you located?

    FWIW - If anybody asked me to give him (or publicly post) practical advice on how one might sue (or prosecute) one skydiver who'd been in an accident with another skydiver, chances are well over 90% I'd take a pass.



    That's lawyer talk for maybe and that's final.:ph34r::D:D

    Way to obvious[:/]

    With your experience at the bar and your command of the English language you can do better than that.;)

    Aerobats - Third Inf Div Sport Parachute Club, early 70's. Anyone remember? Names coming to mind are 1LT Bob ("Bing Bing") Iverson (fearless leader), Steve Maikowski, CPT Glen Puffer (our first paraplane pilot), ASO Bruce McDaniels, 2LT Mike Burt, SP5 Ken Larcher, 1LT John True (parasled pilot), SFC Lester Pelfrey, Dale Lyons, Nicki Mainero, Bob Linke. Civilian Tom Shafer. Jumped 421st Medevac Hueys at Conn Barracks (Schweinfurt) and with the Germans at Hassfurt out of a Dornier. Anybody out there?



    We're you getting reliable support from the huey outfit?.

    When jumping with the Germans was that at their DZ.?

    We had the privilege of jumping with some of the clubs at Bragg one weekend in the late 60s. Their acft support was rock solid:)
    We belonged to the Ft Lewis Sport Parachute Club as a DOD civi.
    Their was some kind of a problem with the commitment of the aviation unit providing acft support for a weekend club.

    Rumor was the aviation commander preferred to give his people the opportunity to spend their weekends home with their families.

    Still got 75 jumps out of Hueys, Blackhawks and the Hooks In 2 yrs. The price was right the civi dz was located outside the back gate. Life was good.

    Met lots of great people jumping with military clubs. :)

    I had one in the early 70s and they just weren't loud enough (in a Bell 500 helmet at least).

    I still have mine and it still works.

    Steve Snyder was a real pioneer: audibles, AADs, thin altimeters etc.

    Steve met his end in an F 86 surplus fighter, got too slow on a flyby.

    377



    Mr Snyder was a man ahead of his time.B|

    If he had access to modern technology some of his pioneering gear would have been a lot more successful.

    Didn't Steve put out the first squares canopies. Maybe mid late 60s. And lots of other major firsts.

    If anyone remembers some of Steve Snyder other firsts let's hear it if you have the time.;)

    ***If it's 2am, and you find yourself in Istanbul for the first time, and two other first time "visitors" ask you in their broken Romani accent to join them for the walk downtown, where you soon find yourself in a "restaurant" surrounded by several beautiful Ukrainian women, who seem to be paying you slightly more attention than you're use to receiving...

    Things may not be as they appear.



    Thats pretty much any establishment in SE asia.

    I ended up paying a girl to sit and drink with me so the other whores would stop interrupting me while I was trying to get drunk.


    Then I took her home for a freebie ;)

    Hi

    From what I've heard:ph34r:

    If you were buying the nice lady drinks at her place of employment, you already paid for that freebie.;)

    OTOH if she was buying you drinks and then took you home and didn't rob you that would have been a freebie.B| Have you considered breaking the ice with a autographed pic of you standing on the naked rock.:ph34r:


    Things in SE Asia was a lot less expensive in the 60's it was like a gold rush. Depending on how remote the location it could be a lot of fun. Unless they killed you.

    It sounds like the "you buy me drink";) bar girl thing is still alive and well. Go figure in spite of what the the historians say the military is not oldest profession.

    Outward appearance don't mean squat. There's always someone bigger more bad or more confused than the other guy, or gal.

    It just depends how bad they want what you might have.



    That's not entirely true. The con artists, hustlers and pickpockets want an easy score, not a huge hassle.

    They know what they are looking for and will skip over anyone who looks like they might be trouble.

    Pay attention to what's going on, carry yourself well, be in reasonable shape and most of the bad guys will look for an easier victim. (most, not all)

    Kinda like not having to outrun the bear.

    Some peeps want to cut down the biggest tree in the forest. It adds to their status in their social group. There are some things more important than money to these peeps. Their not into it for the money.
