They still don' Understand what NO means. So depending on your gender be prepared to protect your honor or just party hardee. Drinking and driving kills.

I'm also curious to know how welcome newbies are at these things. Same thing you'd expect at any other party: To be treated like an equal until some drunken asshole gets out of line. Then, you can either: 1- ignore it and find the jumpers that are NOT assholes. 2- Start a fight (which means you belong with the crowd youre standing with) 3- ignore it and find the jumpers that are NOt assholes. and take it up with the dipshit when you're both sober. But, Bring beer, a fun attitude and a light heart. You'll be fine. I think you'll find out pretty quickly that some people just like to hear themselves talk (Kinda like Im doing now) Some just want to be heard and others will keep you interested in the things they say because they're sincere about whatever they talk about. Its the same as any other party. we just start off talking about a different subject.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeJD 0 #7 May 22, 2013 At some point, when enough beer's been drunk, there will be a plan formed to launch a 16-way tube on the first load tomorrow morning. That jump will never happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfzombie13 324 #12 May 22, 2013 i actually learned how to pack after hours with lots of beer. we would pack it, pop it, and pack it again until i learned how to do it. of course, we would always pop it the last time. i'm a firm believer that if you can learn it drunk, it's a lot harder to forget._________________________________________ Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
