They stuck me in an institution,
said it was the only solution,
to give me the needed, professional help
to protect me from the enemy
myself

ALL I WANTED WAS A PEPSI!!!!!!

I am still old, broke, in debt, homeless, unemployed and crippled but my chutes are packed and my reserve is in date so I figure that I am way ahead of the game.

The following (*found on the swooping and canopy control forum as somebody's signature) almost made me piss in my pants...

"Here's to lying, cheating, stealing and drinking. If you're going to lie, lie for a friend. If you're going to cheat, cheat death. If you're going to steal, steal a heart. If you're going to drink, drink with me."

That's not from Hitch. My ex-wife heard it on Bachelor a couple seasons ago and it stuck in my head.

A very short extract from one of Ginsberg's works applies to us all, I reckon:

"...angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo..."

tequila, liquid geometry of passion;
tequila, the buzzard god who copulates in midair
with the ascending souls of dying virgins;
tequila, firebug in the house of good taste;
O tequila, savage water of sorcery,
what confusion and mischief your sly,
rebellious drops do generate!

I've got a friend who likes to use "oh, well, it's just a bridge..." for this.

I've also heard him use "oh, well, it's just a building..."

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,
Chocolate in one hand - martini in the other,
body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!"

Why bother with newspapers, if this is all they offer? Agnew was right. The press is a gang of cruel faggots. Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuckoffs and misfits - a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage.

Where did you find a quote from Bob Sinclair? I knew Bob back in the 60's when he was the "highest paid skydiver in the world". I remember getting his and Jim Arender's (D-17) autograph in my log book one night at the Rumbleseat in Elsinore. Is he still kicking around?

In theory, there is no difference bretween theory and practice. In practice, however, there is. -

Bob still around... There are threads about him in the history and trivia forum....

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

Promote the sport through education and professionalism, not self-promotion. Do not attempt to glorify yourself at the expense of the sport's image or the accessibility to an object.
