riddler 0 #30 October 9, 2002 I always like being a student - live a very simple life. Poor, but simple. Keep at it, it's worth it - the engineering degree gives me plenty of cash to jump with.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hohonukai 0 #31 October 9, 2002 I have a bunch of technical ads from magazines that used skydivers in their marketing strategy. Like, for instance, Veritas did one ad....I just save them and tape them up for other geeks to see. Also a couple dropzone pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #32 October 10, 2002 I'm not allowed to clutter up the desk because I need to be able to roll out blueprints on it. But, this is my wallpaper (thank goodness for my own screen on XP, or I'd never be allowed to have it!)

tigra 0 #34 October 10, 2002 I've got a couple of photos on my desk. A 44 way from 2 years ago, a 20 way from last year, and a 20 way from this year. All are good conversation pieces. Once people realize that I am in the pictures, the responses vary from "you're crazy!" to "that's so cool, I've always wanted to try that!" Hey Lisa, You said you have a stuffed bear with a parachute?? Do you know anyone who sells those? maura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #35 October 10, 2002 QuoteYou said you have a stuffed bear with a parachute?? Do you know anyone who sells those? No, sorry I don't. This one was hanging up when I started working there in '96; don't know where it came from... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This one was hanging up when I started working there in '96; don't know where it came from... There's a gal (or is it a guy?) in FL who does those. We have several. Try calling Deland and ask for the gear store. They always hove some in stock there and the wit for custom colors is not long. They also have some cute ones with a tandem bear TM and passenger/student. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

tigra 0 #37 October 10, 2002 Thanks! Someone gave me one a few years ago when I broke my ankle. The person who gave it to me got it when she broke her leg, given to her from someone else..... When it was time, I also passed the bear on to another jumper in need. I like the tradition, and right now I have a friend laid up with a broker femur who could maybe use some cheering up.... I'll try calling there! maura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve1 5 #38 October 10, 2002 I have three centerfolds from Parachutist for inspiration. One is the World Record big way in Thailand and a couple of exit photos for other big way formation loads......I like to dream: "Someday I'll be there."..... I also have some screen-saver pictures of skydivers on my computer.....Did I mention the inflatable doll I have in my closet named, Suzie Sky Diver?

scottbre 0 #47 October 10, 2002 Quote what do you have in your office... that is skydiving related? Well, unless I happened leave DZ.com up on the screen, absolutely nothing about my desk/office/or manner of dress would give any indications that I am a skydiver. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!"

TheBile 0 #48 October 10, 2002 Our screensavers are locked off, so I produced a Powerpoint Presentation (during my lunchours of course) which depicts several animated skydiving jokes. I run it whenever I'm away from my desk. Gerb I stir feelings in others they themselves don't understand. KA'CHOW ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
