Oooh, a Larry the Cable Guy reference.....and yes that was funny, need to clean the computer screen after that one. Hey Riggerrob, is this your FIRST April Fools post? Good one, that was pretty funny. Blues, NathanBlues, Nathan If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cssriggers 0 #29 April 2, 2004 FYI, bassoons don't use whistles. They use "double reeds." Many casual bassoon players are turning to synthetic reeds these days, but die-hards stick with the natural item. They require a lot of soaking/spit/sucking on/softening up before they can make a sound. Really gives your tandem student something to do under canopy! This is probably our 2nd best joke today - the first was when a close friend-of-a-friend who'd had a low turn incident last weekend showed up. I asked how he was doing & was told -- "Sorry man, he died this morning." Ohhhhhhh man.

nacmacfeegle 0 #31 April 2, 2004 We tried them out at our DZ, but they kept snagging in the packing machine. They were the French whistles, made by Condue.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

riggerrob 643 #32 April 2, 2004 Klingon glue? Do any of you folks have a source for Klingon glue? ... you know the stuff specified in the Gotcha manual for gluing on safety whistles? My local importer seems to have run out .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yoshi 0 #34 April 2, 2004 there is a guy at my DZ that had one of those nerf whistles (from the nerf footbal that whistles when you throw it) attached to his helmet.. I dont think he had it for awareness at all..just for making a hell of a screech when hookin'... was pretty cool.. I think it fell off in freefall though.._________________________________________ this space for rent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sammer 0 #35 April 2, 2004 Velocity84 has several of those mounted on his helmet. He calls it "shock and awe" effect. They do work pretty good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
