  1. Pig's cheek and lobster tail, with a schmear of foie gras please! Remster
  2. I keep seeing metaphoric lips flapping, and yet I still can't hear "what kind of sammich would you like me to get you?" Remster
  3. Montreal... Where everyone has a nice accent http://www.restaurantaupieddecochon.ca/ Remster
  4. You don't get more random or strange that Ryoder You speaketh the truth. Remster
  5. Try telling this to Skydive AZ. They recently posted 4 secs between solos, 4-6 for small groups. Why make two runs when you can get everyone out in one?? . Did you notice that this is based on ground speeds being above a certain level, with additional time required for slower airspeed? Remster
  6. Then why do you bring it up at every single opportunity you can find? Just saying... Because for some reason he felt he was prompted to report it. If you two would just be pretty and quiet, like you're supposed to be, we wouldnt have these problems.... Damm women and their so-called opinions... Remster
  7. Talk of paper bags and of course Remi shows up!! Don't project your fetishes onto others. Remster
  8. We were at an awesome restaurant on Wednesday... a few of us ordered a pig's head. When asked how it was prepared before ordering it,the waitress explained, as matter of factly as possible: "It's a pig's head, with a lobster on top of it". At that point, we had to. We started joking around how totally OTT it would be if the freaking lobster would be in the pig's mouth.... Well.... Remster
  9. Two boobies and a belly button.... Well, that's good, but...no face? There is always a paper bag Yes I have a face Get a room you 2! Remster
  10. As someone said: speaker phone in a quiet place. Also, keep in mind that your voice will be how you present yourself. If you would take the time to make sure you were dressed and disposed suitably for a in person interview, apply the same logic to how you present yourself on the phone. Make notes of what you want to talk about, questions you want to ask them, etc... Remster
  11. And do what most experienced folks who dont have a hard on for swooping the beer line do: stay our of "the corner" (not the "oh shit I turned too low" corner, but the area over Coop's packing area, ie, if you land going south on the alternate, set up your pattern to end up on the East side of the LZ, and if you land on the main, set up your pattern so you land on the North side of the LZ). Or, land out. Remster
  12. Proof! PROOF! Undeniable proof! I'm definitely charging tonight's dinner on my Amex, and leaving an outrageous tip! Remster
  13. Duh... Winning! (I think it's appropriate to bring back the spirit of Charlie for this one...) Remster
  14. The DZ (not the the town of Eloy) is about 6km from the Toltec Motel6. cant seem to find one in Toltec, only the one in Casa Grande Stupid marketing... lol... http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Motel+6&aq=2&sll=32.755896,-111.554844&sspn=0.15216,0.338173&g=eloy&ie=UTF8&ll=32.841808,-111.613541&spn=0.144802,0.338173&z=12&iwloc=A It's called Casa Grande, has an Eloy address, but is in Toltec It was OK when we used it a few years ago, but the Travel Lodge is still a better option.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Travelodge+Casa+Grande,+7190+S+Sunland+Gin+Rd,+Eloy,+AZ+85131,+United+States&aq=0&sll=32.808991,-111.652508&sspn=0.036214,0.084543&ie=UTF8&hq=Travelodge+Casa+Grande,&hnear=7190+S+Sunland+Gin+Rd,+Eloy,+Pinal,+Arizona+85193&ll=32.81707,-111.665769&spn=0.018105,0.042272&z=15&iwloc=A Remster

    I believe this to be a widely held MYTH. I believe interference drag is the main reason formations slow down as they build. Not only is this consistent with the laws of physics, it is also born out when comparing fall rates of tightly packed formations with those of loose, open formations. I'm actually sure its a combination of both. Especially in smaller big ways with not so dedicated big way jumpers, there is a lot of relaxing ager docking: otherwise, the inside base wouldn't feel lifted from the outside as is iden the case. Remster
  16. In casa grande or in toltec? We've stayed at the toltec.one a few ears ago and it was ok-ish. The travel.lodge in toltec is much better now: newly renovated rooms. Remster
  17. Not just you, but all the other posters: What's wrong with you guys? Can't you see a scam when one punches you in the mouth? Remster
  18. European or African? Remster
  19. It probably was a Javelin. Remster
  20. You want exact numbers, or what people use as rough every day approximations? Exact numbers will vary on every jump. Approximations: - 115 to 125 mph typical terminal velocity in belly to earth - About 12 seconds to reach that speed - About 5 seconds per 1000 feet at that speed. Remster
  21. Funny. To me they look like a Lotus Elise. If you think otherwise, maybe you don't know enough about the car. Quade: remove that foot from your mouth. The new S does have a Maserati lines, if the GT was stretched into a 4 door. Remster

    While, I guess, one should be able to get on a base regardless of it's speed (within reason), the fast base theory goes like this: - Even in 4 way, speed is important to get more efficient results from moves, so having a faster base will allow people to be more efficient overall (a ballistic fall rate is no more useful than a super slow one tho if everyone on the outside is bent in 1/2 to keep up) - As formations build, they, unfortunately, slow down (people docking get complacent and relax their arch); if you start with a faster fall rate, you still end up with a reasonable rate - It's easier to stop from your dive to end up in a faster fall rate: less risk to go low - Slowing down from a dive for a larger jumper will take more time than a for a skinny fucker: the skinny folks can dive harder longer. This being said, I'd rather have a good base than a fast base (well, I'd rather have a good fast base, which is why I often volunteer for base slots) Remster
  23. Being in Eloy, that's definitely a plus. You can get sized and checked by the people from RI, and Margie at SQ2 has probably also measure more customers for Talons than anyone. And they are quality product. My wife is extremely happy with hers (It was the second rig they made with a super narrow yoke based on her small frame, which probably could only be done if you were in Eloy to meet with them a few times) This being said, From feedback from several people, Talons fairly often dont fit well on people with long torsos.
