Namowal 0 #452 September 23, 2012 Quote I liked the line in a comment of yours, that you "pushed the definition of 'landing'". There's a sig line in something like that... Thanks. Good point.

Abedy 0 #453 September 24, 2012 Quote Here's the latest one: How I Broke My Arm & Leg, Part II: Lucky Ducky Here's why I didn't get too unglued about my accident. I'm not glad it happened, but I remember that it could have been way worse. p.s. I'm hoping this doesn't come across as me being smug that I "only" got somewhat hurt. Very nice one, again. I liked the Frida Kahlo Duck. I think there is a museum with a collection of "Duckitised Portraits" - it definitely would fit in there, nice work! I also liked the Switzerland Duck climbing up the mountain and the evil capricorns (Alpine ibex) loitering on your way to the top... BTW, Duck wearing Lederhosen (leather shorts) - it's Oktoberfest time! Already had a beer or two? Your "I'm pretty well off considered it could have been much much worse" finishing picture is also a good one to think about. Nothing smug, on the contrary I dare to say. I hope you're progressing fast. Just being curious: Do the surgeons want to remove your Borg implants or are you (like me) going to become an airport metal detector trigger? Hehe hehe. As for the "I pushed the limits of landing" - it not only happens to ducks but also to swans, see pic attached. (Reads in English: My landing speed's too high! Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!"The sky is not the limit. The ground is. The Society of Skydiving Ducks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At first I thought it would be a stretch to have cast Frida as the "You think YOU have problems!?" person, but I she seems to be a hit. And I had fun drawing her.

I think I have the parts for good. This should liven things up at the airport security lines.

BKS60 0 #455 September 25, 2012 It wont help you heal any faster but at least you will know there are others like you. Just made my 17 and 18th jump and also my first and second landings on my feet!!!! I have already had my first reserve ride (and that's nothing to be bragging about) do to my poor stability! But since you included the Swiss theme at least I have a fellow jumper who is Swiss and she has been kind enough to start teaching me how to speak Swiss (at my slow pace)!!! So get well and continue to falshirm springe!! (parachute jump) Damn I hope I got that right!!"You don't get many warnings in this sport before you get damaged" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abedy 0 #456 September 27, 2012 I just happened to find the following video which proves we ducks are daredevils, but usually very careful ones - clicky. It's quite a miracle that accidents happen to us, must have been statistical irregularities? Ah, and I just found a nice pic that shows how you should address "Mr Inner Critic" if he once again tries to diss you. (It's NOT a photoshop job, just a flower, but looks hilarious!)

pchapman 279 #459 September 27, 2012 Quote Not sure what the narrator is saying... At the start: "But even then, the parents are not far away" I'm guessing those were young birds learning to fly.

I don't have anyone to compare myself with but I think I'm doing well.
