Emma 0 #126 July 20, 2001 Oh go on then, Carl, I'll be your sales laydeee if you come up with the cool idea. Can I move to the States and skydive like crazy and do I only have to talk to skydivers instead of these CORPORATE WANKERS that currently fill my days?Sorry, slightly off post, I shall end my obsessive rant NOW!Emma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #127 July 20, 2001 Quote I've got a couple of ideas, but they rather involve selling software. In the words of my man Lloyd; enjoy:"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed... or buy anything sold or processed... or process anything sold, bought or processed... or repair anything sold, bought or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that." -- Lloyd Dobler Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallingMarc 0 #132 July 22, 2001 Wow, absent minded me, took me a week to notice this thread. Anyway... Marc Mallette, sophomore at the University of Illinois in psychology... but with every jump, a career in skydiving looks better and better...! As it is, I'm an assistant groundskeeper at a golf course in the summer(I sit on my ass on a lawn mower, staring at the sky, all week long), and hoping to win the lottery or for some rich old guy to give me money so that I can buy a rig and keep jumping during the school year.On the skydiving front, I've got 25 jumps, and my current skills are unstable exits and kicking out of line twists. Eventually I hope to learn to fall in a straight line(sounds like it shouldn't be that hard, when I say it like that).Marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cameramonkey 0 #139 July 23, 2001 QuoteMy name is Ron Jeremy...I make movies for a living..HAHAHA You know why he is so popular? he gives the regular Joe the reassurance that if someone that fat and ugly can get into porn, the rest of us have a shot. LOLFor those of you that dont know, hes a fat, ugly porn star with your average um... "Tool". Nothing outstanding that you would think would have gotten him into those films. I still think its an industry secret that he really pays THEM to be in the films, and he makes his money elsewhere. My name is Roy and I'm a skyaholic. I just cant get past step one of the 12 steps because I dont wanna quit! (step one is admitting your problem) I am a self employed computer network engineer.
