It's funny that no one is telling him about the hard drugs and the floozies, not that I would know.

Pretty difficult to skydive as a quadraplegic. @ Chris: Check out Youtube! Fatalistic bullshit made up to alleviate yourself from responsibility for your own risk management. Nothing is 'meant' to happen. I completely agree. However, it was a hypothetical question.

The funniest part of that movie was the outtakes where Dom DeLuise was cracking everybody up. That was the first time I saw a movie put that in the credits.

Thanks a lot for the replies. A guy got a tattoo that was mostly about something else with a closing pin slipped into the tattoo. He just got his A license and has 30 jumps. Another guy with 250 jumps and a B license gave him a hard time about it. He doesn't need me to fight his battles for him, I just wanted to know other people's opinions.

It's weird, but I dream in color.

A VERY good question. Though more people have voted for option 1 at this time, more than half the people voting have made themselves tattoo police by voting for another option. I'm of the opinion that anyone can get a skydiving tattoo. There are people with tattoos of animals they've never seen in real life. People with Japanese symbols they couldn't read before they were tattooed on their bodies. Some of those people even ended up getting symbols they found out didn't mean what they thought they meant. People who weren't alive to see Elvis with his portrait. Whatever they want, they should be allowed to have and I find it odd that a person would be upset if someone with less jumps had at one time honored their sport with a tattoo. That guy that was embarrassed to have the tattoo with only 22 jumps shouldn't be embarrassed. At one time, it was important enough to him to get a tattoo and he's still a 1 percenter. My dad has a navy tattoo and he was in the navy for only 3 years, and it's a part of his life that he never thinks about anymore. He still likes the tattoo.

I hope those 7 options are enough. I left off "There should be no skydiving tattoos" because I thought that would be silly. Hey, the whole question might seems silly to you, but there are people out there who care. I'm posting this poll to prove a point to someone.

Try thinking outside of the box a little bit (or maybe just try THINKING) and you won't be so quick to throw red flags. Pick it up. Put it in your pocket, and walk away.

This is why Brits are so boring in bed.

When there are this many people at a dropzone, there's bound to be a few unfriendlies. Once you know who they are and avoid them, the place is ok. Avoid Gareth, Ego Mike, the older rigger, and one of the owners, Vic. They don't try to be unprofessional, they just can't help letting their natural personalities shine through. Let's just say that if you have questions, ask someone else to avoid a smart-aleck or unhelpful answer. They have a knack of treating a new person like an outsider. Don't worry, there are others that will be helpful. The hangar is big and really close to the plane. The landing area is a decent size with places for the sky god or the newbie to land. The aircraft is decent, they're using a Pac750XL and I think they have a Cessna. There's no running water, so port-a-potties are there. Bring your hand sanitizer. The winds during the summer are pretty brutal. Newbies beware there. Can you imagine being a new dzo and saying, "Hey, I'll put a drop zone near a bunch of windmills and near protected land that won't allow plumbing"? At least it's sunny there most of the time. Note: One of the staff members listed above just contacted me with a very nice private message apologizing and explaining things. He made no excuses for the others and took ownership for himself. It was really a stand-up thing to do.

Even if you're right, and I don't think you are, this thread still serves a purpose. Phizzie...I think this is a good thing. I'd rather you go to jail and learn your lesson and THEN skydive. You may have been caught three times, but you've driven recklessly more than that. If it takes some jail time to teach you your lesson and fly around with us safely, then it's time well spent. BE SAFE!!!

I love it when people come out of the closet. You're an inspiration to us all. The person who talked about the reasons why was correct. There hasn't YET been a reason why he developed the split personality. There's no real benefit to it. The Tom character obviously doesn't have a split personality. He has a normal life under another name, but he's not programmed. I can see the point of the person who says, "What's the point?"

I thought you might want a little realism in your straw poll so I created another account and voted a second time. I'm also opening an account for my dead grandfather, getting illegal aliens to vote and later on I'm going to hang some chads.

Really? Those would be your last words? Fuck me? Looking for any takers? He said what I thought a person would say, "OOOOPEEENN!!!" I think my last words (knowing I had a camera on my head) would be an "I love you" to those I love. Would it be too sick of me to start a thread asking what your last words would be?

I'm no expert on video, but I couldn't see an edit to something fake. It looked real. I'd like to know if anyone knows for sure. Weather's no good for jumping right now. Nothing else to do.
