This is what gets me, a guy weighing a whopping 370 lbs, who didnt flare at all and lived through it. Ive heard of people getting killed from not doing that. Also take into account, was he landing with or agaisnt the wind? He didnt even have any broken bones after that kind of landing (its a miracle!). His chest strap was yanked upward but his canopy was still "in a ball"...not enough to cause that kind of force? Did he 'land' still holding on to his straps, and hanging off them? Exactly what DZ would allow someone who is 370 to jump? I think the usual weight restriction is something like 220 or so. "he reached "arch-17000"......WOW! I distinctly remember they tell you to cut it at "arch-7000"...I think at 17 he would have been pretty close to hitting enough oil to solve the next energy crisis. I never heard of anyone saying that going through wild spins opens a malfunctioning canopy. So he went through 17 or 18 tight spins.....and he wasnt knocked out by the centrifugal force?

I am forever hearing about hurricane katrina, the victims, send them money, ect. My question on this is: Where were the people in New Orleans when LA had its devastating earthquake in the early 90s? No donations, no govt relief efforts...nothing. People in New Orleans could give a rats ass about what happened in LA and all the property damage and deaths that occured. Now everyone is expected to drop what theyre doing and give all their money to the victims from New Orleans. Sorry folks, youre getting nothing from me. In addition to that, I happen to think that I am paying enough in taxes, so maybe the govt can help you out with all that tax money they have been raping us for for a very long time now. Thats what taxes are for, isnt it? Emergency relief efforts among other things. Sorry if the govt is too busy spending all that money on stupid politically correct efforts in places like Iraq...dont blame me, I didnt vote for that jerk in the Whitehouse. The fact of the matter is, if you want to live in a high risk area, then you need to be prepared for whatever comes your way. Yes, you lost your houses, yes, you lost your jobs, and yes, you are screwed beyond belief. That sucks, but at the same time it could happen to me too. And if it does I stand prepared to face the consequences, its my choice to be living here and Im aware of the risks. The entire thing is about politics, and without the politics they wouldnt be asking for all these donations in advertised relief efforts in the first place.

Boxer briefs... I wear a very skimpy speedo kind of swimsuit under my wetsuit and try not to get noticed when Im taking it off...not doing that to show off, just need to get out of the wetsuit and dry off. What can you do? Never had anyone complain, had a few chicks come up and start chatting like I was doing that to get noticed or something. Man they need to give guys a break...just trying to get the wetsuit off, dry off, and get dressed...jeez

Just got suddenly canned from my job last week for no apparent reason. Kind of a relief off my mind cause the management were real assholes, riding my and everyone elses case every day and making out life hell with their micro-management crap. Looking for another job in IT, C/C++ or C# software engineer, anyone in SD know of any positions please PM me.

I'll agree with this. By contrast though, the average age of the owners here is 39, most use these as a second (vacation) home (I live in a ski resort area). Due to an episode that happened here before I moved in, the attorney's pretty much drained the finances of the HOA due to a dispute originally started by a homeowner. Ultimately, the (compounded) issue was caught on video one of the non board residents. The homeowner was then countersued for the expenses incurred by the HOA. HOA won. The bank foreclosed on the property and the HOA had the first right to pick up the property. They waived the right as the (now former) homeowner had drained the coffers, lost his suit and ordered to pay full restitution to the HOA. He promptly filed for bankruptcy leaving the HOA with the full legal bill to be paid by yours truly and the rest of the residents. One of the things that HOAs are in place for (besides comparing paint swatches) is to make sure my peace and santicty is kept. If a neighbor has a party, whatever. If they have a party every friggin night that keeps me up, then you're invading my space. Yappy dog needs to go. BTW, been putting up with yappy dog for 5 months now. I had a next door neighbor in an apt in Houston once who had a noisy dog, constantly whining when she left the house and put him in the fenced in area. Apparently, the other neighbor got tired of hearing it too, late at night, went and opened the fence letting him out. Never heard from the dog again. Only problem is, the chick that had the dog thought I did it.

Thats the one with where the virus kills everybody...good movie but they could have shortened it. It was aritistic the way they were playing "The Reaper" while showing all these dead people.

How do you feel about yours? Home DZ: No home dropzone entered.

I just poured Tabasco sauce on your avatar. It should help alleviate the pain. Thanks, Frenchy - that's great. No really, I mean it. C'mon, one of you JUST did something stupid. Don't deny it, tell us about it. OK, here goes. I was at the beach this weekend and decided to drop my swim suit and run around on the beach naked chasing this cute blonde I saw walking by. Turns out, she lived in a house on the beach and I ended up chasing her right into it...lucky for me, she forgot to lock the front door. So I went in, stark naked man, and called for her to come out. She shouted back..."Im in the bedroom, come right in". So I walked in the bedroom, and there she was....standing there with her husband. After bailing myself out of jail that evening, I went back to her house to apologize, she awnsered the door telling me she didnt appreciate me chasing her down the beach naked but everything was okay now and she and her husband wouldnt press furthur charges. She then told me that her husband wasnt home and she was going to give me what I want, and for me to take off my clothes. I did so, and she took hers off. Turns out 'she' was a transvestite. Next thing you know, we're both running down the beach naked, me running for my life, and 'she' trailing close behind. I finally ran into the ocean because I was having a hard time outrunning 'her', then 'she' gave up furthur attempts because the water was too cold. Well, I then came out of the ocean and walked up on this cute lifeguard chick stark naked as I was, and she was really cute...looked like one of those straight out of Baywatch. She said she is calling the police, however, as a shot in the dark so to speak, I offered to go down on her if she were not to call the police. She agreed, and I spent the next hour or so on my knees. Whew! Man, what a weekend. Umm, this is about doing something stupid, right?

Well lets hope it isnt about being sexy...cause it sure as hell aint Hate to admit it but the boy has a point on this one.

According to a friend of mine who moved here to California from New Orleans last year, they have 80 billion dollars to send troops to Iraq but they dont have the 20 million as was asked for by the state of LA to maintain the levees. He said they had asked for 20 million for that project but only recieved 2 million from the fed govt. That is why the levees broke and NO flooded...poor maintenence due to lack of funding from the govt. We will definitely be hearing about that in the near future. As usual, the govt is too absorbed in what is going on in foreign countries while they continue to neglect what is going on in this country. "A government for the people, by the people"....what people? The Iraquis?

Some of these freaks at Blacks Beach have trouble figuring that out.

Toilet seats are in better shape than surf boards. Okay, is that better now?

GET HIGH IN A COFFEE SHOP Smoking cannabis isn’t legal in Amsterdam, but it has been decriminalised, which means you can walk into any coffee shop and buy up to five grams per visit. You’ll find a menu at the bar with descriptions like, “nicely stoned” and “psychedelic high”, handy if you don’t want to end up passing out after one toke. Staff are always happy to advise you, so don’t be afraid to tell them exactly what you’re after. Space cakes and shakes are also offered by many places – a good alternative to joints,

Funny, but true! 1gm coke = $90, quarter = $35, kilo = $50000 Metric system sucks! Countries should be bombed until they accept the English system. And as far as the meter being based on length of a hydrogen atom...so what? The yard was based on the length of King Henry Vs' arm....more accurate.

When someone reports a UFO sighting, people tend to think either that they are a nutcase (likely, because some people who report UFO sightings are nutcases), saw something natural and just thought it was a UFO (90% tend to be in this category), and few people might acknowledge a possible UFO sighting (about 10% of UFO sightings are 'unsolved', or are given no other explanation other than it was a UFO). Some people have lost long time friends, association with family members, and have even lost jobs over reporting a UFO. Then there are people who have sighted a UFO who are afraid to say anything about it, so they keep it to themselves. Im wondering about what your reaction would be if your best friend, or family member, someone youve known for a long time and trust, told you they saw a UFO and described it, what would you think?

There is still that problem...no gas because everybody else is buying it up trying to escape. I dont think anyone 'deserved' what they got from the storm whether they stayed there or not. Natural disasters do happen and you can lose everything you got including your life. Thats the way it is.

Are you on full coverage or just liablility?

Whew!!! Hope he's rich.

You can email me one.

I prefer going down on chicks over sex...just love those female bodies

For the most part the neighbors are okay except for this one dorky old guy who talks so loud on the phone the whole complex hears him, while he keeps the door open (I guess so everyone can hear him). Cant wait till this loser moves out!

There you people go again... ruining a perfectly good sex thread with talk of bondage. We cant help it....we're perverts

Guess you dont have to show yours on this thread...judging from the beautiful eye you know the rest has got to be good

I felt my blood pressure go up on that one...

So you did take my advice...better to be snooty than another statistic
