hohonukai 0 #1 December 18, 2002 Yes, convivial. relating to, occupied with, or fond of feasting, drinking, and good company Cool word, no? I dig. Expand your vocabulary. Let's get descriptive. How can you describe skydiving and how it affects you? New words to you, only. None of this elementary shooting the shit talk. (my gosh, man, there's got to be a non-common word for boobies out there for the clays and the rest of the boys - kinda serious thread tho keep in mind) That word, convivial, describes the aftermath of skydiving for me, personally. C'mon play along....how about you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
