Hmm, might have to take a half day and jump tomorrow.... Fuck! USPA membership ran out today. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Just send me all of the pictures and I'll get it set up for you. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I just went to look up stuff on Richard Jewell, the wrongly accused Olympic bomber to see where he is now. I didn't know that he actually found the bomb and was moving people away when it went off. Gee, talk about grattitude. Eric Rudolph is now charged with the bombing. He has bombed an abortion clinic and a gay night club. He's since completely disappeared and the FBI cut back the investigation and turned it over to the North Carolina field office. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

My Aunt forwarded an email about that one from her neighbor's sister's friend. Dude, that's spooky... Actually, I have no idea. From what I understand, you can make a dirty bomb out of anything that will cause the media to make a big deal about it getting spread over a city block. F*ck the hype, drink more beer. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

http://www.dropzone.com/features/ActionProductsSkydivingT.shtml Looks like some pretty cool toys for all the future jumper tykes running across the roofs but I think there were some that didn't make the cut: There's of course "JumperGirlXTRAaltitude" complete with zip down jumpsuit top. Another cut was "Bad-Tandem-Day" featuring instructor complete with student who vomits in complete 360 arc. Don't forget "Stinky-Joe" who just sits there smiling and farting the second you make the sound of a door closing. I started these G-rated, I'm sure someone can come up with more interesting ones. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Found the website: http://www.worstcasescenarios.com/mainpage.htm And there's MORE: Crap, my canopy was made in '98. I'm not so sure it was one of these newer ones that was "built to open". -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

But what if you're jumping at a DZ that uses different hand signals?!?!?! -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Wayne State and Eastern Michigan are right around the corner from you. Find a shop for welding a few times a week, pack on the weekends. Get yourself a little education, enjoy the college party life and when you graduate you'll probably be ready to run your own shop. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Actually, I recant. MY logic isn't exactly true either. The fact is that cocky people are not necessarily confident. For a lot of people, running their mouth is a big bluff to hide their insecurities. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

That is the finest of subtlety. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

No, that doesn't make sense. It's true that cocky people are confident but it's not true that confident people are cocky. That's my logic for today. I don't think cockiness, to a certain degree, is a poor attribute. Talking smack is fun. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

So, I read an article today about new missions to the moon to set up a permanent outpost... That's a pretty elaborate what if but I think it's missing out on mentioning China. It would be much like our ability to deal with Isreal and Palestine. There is only so much we can do. However, I think a good solution would be to send in the newly created "Iraqi State of America". HEY! They frigging OWE us!!! -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Xanadu \ZAN-uh-doo\ (noun) : an idyllic, exotic, or luxurious place that you need rollerskates to get to. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

So, what do you do? Quit jumping or move to another country? -doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Studied for Calculus and Thermodynamics exams. I make up for it every weekend. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Actually, I love this conspiracy stuff. It's the greatest fiction around. Look up stuff on the secret Montauk Point time travel experiments. According to one guy there are "deer sentinels" roaming the Montauk National Park (Long Island) observing intruders. My guess is that they were brought by the monster that came through the time rift during their experiments. The government refuses to talk to me about this. I think they're hiding something. Go Buzz! -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

A vacuum is a space devoid of matter and therefore devoid of resistance. There is no linear terminal velocity as long as gravity (acceleration) is constant. In a vacuum you may experience terminal velocity if you are in orbit, such as orbiting the earch assuming you hit nothing. An infinite linear vaccum with constant gravitational force is impossible. Man this is a dorky conversation so let's not split any more hairs. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

What's wrong with that? If the remote is missing I want to find it. Yes, I get the point. -DOUG "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Motorcycle has something canopy doesn't....brakes. You can control the when and where. If you have a bad spot in a dive and are landing off-field...you're landing off field and that's when the next set of variables come in. -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Just wanted to throw that out there. Who's at work? Where would you rather be? Why aren't you there? What's your friggin' problem? -Doug "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
