Meant in all sarcasm.

Ummm Wildblue.... keep your monkey to yourself please...no one needs to see it.

Would you like to pet my monkey? If it's bad, you can spank my monkey. If it's really bad, you can beat the monkey. Don't shake the monkey though.

it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Good one Chris... I see you've been keeping quiet (unlike some) on the other, "un regulated" place.

See.. I'm not the only lurker on Rec. TT, Peanut, the SheepMaster, Treetop.. they all have their place over there, including the Kool-aid Drinkers like me.

I like the monkey very much. I am grateful for it's presence.

Cummings appears to be a genuine badass skydiver who definitely knows his shit. From a safe place, other people will always throw rocks at the great ones.

Upon seeing a badass walking down the street, it's one thing to say to your buddy at your side in a quiet voice "Who the hell does he think he is?"

It's an entirely different thing to stop the badass in his tracks and demand "Who the hell do you think you are?"

I tend to just admire the badass, and chuckle at his swagger.

And I really like the picture of the monkey f*cking a robot.

I don't personally know Ed, either. I do, however, know his reputation in the skydiving community as someone of integrity. (I'm very surprised to see how many here don't.)

I think that the ad is a very fine tribute by Ed to those who were lost last year. I remember right after it happened, people over on the wreck were anxious to get a copy of that picture, knowing that no one would ever again fly past the Twin Towers.

Cummings was one of the people I dealt with when I was buying my first set of gear. In ended up NOT buying from him - not because his prices were bad, but because he was just as pompous on the phone as he comes across in his ads. "I came up with this idea, I'm the only one to do this, my prices are better than all others..." And on the last comment, I quoted someone else's price on something and he refused to meet it saying he wouldn't make enough off of it then.

Wildblue - I ADORE your monkey! I don't want to spank it, but could I please pet it?

Fall in dove.

Of course you can my dear! I'll bet it'd really like to be tickled with one of your feathers too!
