hackish 8 #1 October 31, 2008 Just wondering how many people are going to take the easy way out and dress up as a skydiver? Since we're hosting a Halloween party I think I'm considering it. Just as long as everyone with beer stays away... On the other side most know I'm a skydiver so I suppose it's an interesting opportunity to peek interest. -Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LloydDobbler 2 #8 October 31, 2008 Quote not gonna lie....kinda lame Nah, the really lame approach would be to go to a DZ party dressed like that. Signatures are the new black. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pirana 0 #9 October 31, 2008 Quote not gonna lie....kinda lame Agreed. It's like the goofs that show up at a party wearing their softball uniform. Besides, isn't it a time to dress up as something you are not? Might be onto something though.

I was thinking of looking around for one of those pink naked suits you can buy but damn-it.

Turned out to be OK with the kids. Got a few who were like "Hey my grandfather did that" or "hey my daddy did that." Got one parent who asked "is that thing real?" He looked me in the eye and said "you're crazy". -Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robskydiv 0 #17 November 3, 2008 Great question Hackish! About a month ago my daughter, Evelyn, (3 yrs old) saw me in my jumpsuit for the first time. She said that I looked like Speed Racer. So I went as Speed Racer/Skydiver (as I wore the Altimaster on my white gloved hand. Harry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gonzalesna 0 #18 November 4, 2008 I went as a skydiver... Entered into the most creative contest and won. I got a DVD player though. I got on stage and pulled my cutaway handle, then gave an oh shit look and put on a skull mask. (Yes, RSL was disconnected and I tied the reserve handle down in case anyone got any crazy ideas.) The mask looked nothing like the one that nekkid guy had from elsinore during the chicks rock boogie. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longtall 0 #19 November 4, 2008 The last word from the USAF on the bodies found it the Roswell crash site was tha people mis-identified the parachute drop test dummies. Despite the fact the drop tests were done years after the crash.
