TMs - If you Lie, Don't do it on CNN . . .

[NickDG 23]

I was going to say Jan, put the gag over your ears instead, but then I went back and listened to it again to make sure I had it right . . .

Yikes, I totally blew hearing the first sentence correctly.

That TM was right - no one has ever come undone from their TM's harness . . .

I heard me, rather than[ i] you.

Apologies to the TM. And let this be a lesson to the rest of you . . .

I just have to throw this out there for a little shameless plug. That was yours truly, flying the red/grey velo 111. I swooped the living hell out of the camera crew and was told it might make airtime. They got the set up instead. Ha.

Id like to thank my sponsors: Wawa, Crisco and Diet Pepsi.

Is this what RH meant by
"And to an insufferably remarkable degree, they are [right about everything all of the time]"

I do my homework and verify everything.

I am kind of curious about some of the posts 2-24. People were arguing about something that was not even true???
Not that it is a bad thing or that means anything.

Im pretty sure I was one of the three jumpers walking back from the landing area in the distancce. I guess I spent all that time making faces at the camera guy on the way to altitude for nothing. Contact my publicist for celebrity appearances and seminars.

Just as there's no IQ test for Hollywood actors, there's also none for TI's.

Also none for posters to DZ.Com, it would seem.

Naw, its cool, he's got 147 jumps over 4 years. He obviously knows everything about being a TI.

Agreeing with Erroll? That guy has 1 jump in 17 years, his profile says so.

1338

People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

Being sarcastic in regards to conversations in which persons with no experience as a TI were leveling opinions in regards to being a TI.

One of the most important skills for a TI is the ability to communicate well. Not only communicate well, but answer the exact same question from people for thousands of jumps and make it sound like a valid and important question, even though its a typical whuffo question. Then train that wrong concept out of that soon to be jumper. Its a hard skill, even worst when you're tired. Sometimes answers are shortened if a "student" is being a complete ass. Shortened answers don't show a lack of intelligence, just the end of patience typically.
