aneblett 0 #76 May 28, 2003 QuoteI really do feel sorry for people who's lives are so incredibly boring they have to make up an interesting one just to feel good about themselves... I spend all day at home looking for jobs online that aren't there. There are some nights that I am so bored from having done nothing in the daytime that I can't sleep. So I consider myself pretty bored. I hope I never get as bored with life as the pepes you mentioned. Though I think that I would probably go for a skydive and clear my head before making shit up. some peoples children I tell you.

jumprunner 0 #77 May 28, 2003 Quote I was in a business meeting last year with employees from the company buying us out. During the presentation the woman brought up some pics of herself in skydiving gear and began to go on about how she was a jumper, and how wonderful it was. And all her co-workers were saying how they couldn't believe she jumped and how nuts she was, etc.. etc... When I started asking questions and they learned I had 2000+ jumps, I learned that she had done ONE tandom at SDD, and the pics she had were in another person's gear. No telling why they do it. Oh well. must get back to the job search. BSBD POSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumprunner 0 #78 May 28, 2003 Quote The second guy told me he had over 500 jumps and he was learning to do tricks. Like sit up, roll over, bark.... Just ask them what kind of plane they jumped from. But dont say "did you jump a twin otter, Cessna...", just ask them what kind of plane. When they make up something stupid, then let them know that is not a jump plane and they need to pull their head out. Use skydiving terminology to trip them up until they realize how stupid they sound. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fasterfaller 0 #80 May 28, 2003 I can't wait until the next movie with skydiving scenes gets released so I can meet all these "skydivers" . I love screwing with these people , I get them to admit all kinds of stupid shit then prove them wrong in front of their friends . I started working at a new job a few months ago and this guy there was claiming to be a base jumper . All the chics thought he was hot shit and were standing in line to go out with him . I didn't say a word until I brought him a base rig to show us his packing skills on . He was so embarrassed when he couldn't show us how , he quit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lioness 0 #89 May 29, 2003 People like this must have just watched the new movie "Catch me if you can". I guess they think anyone will believe anything they say. btw - this was a great movie in my opinion. exp. since it was based on a true story...______________________________________ Be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.

FliegendeWolf 0 #91 May 29, 2003 I liked that movie a lot. Great storyline, great acting on Hanks's and DiCaprio's parts. Time well spent. It often seems that when I see a movie with no expectations (I had never heard of this movie before going in to see it) I always enjoy it more.A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilJon 0 #92 May 29, 2003 I feel bad busting people out. I figure if they want to lie to impress whuffo, let them. After all, the whuffo wants the give out some attention, and the asshat wants the attention. _________________________________________ You look like a well fed robin. -monkey1031 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
