  1. Welcome to the jungle, er...I mean the forums. Oh, and welcome back to the sky, too. Truman Sparks for President
  2. Excellent! That's the one drawback to the whole game of online communication, at least for me. It can be a bit hard to hear things like inflection and tone, and since I'm easily confused....well, ya get the idea
  3. I made my last skydive. Now things are starting to look up and I shall make my triumphant return to the air this season! I just thought I'd share this depressing anniversary with you all and ask if things have changed too much in the incredibly long time I've been gone. Oh, wait, have they? Truman Sparks for President
  4. To all who beat me to it, this is for you. *nod* As far as my answer goes, "pack" is still the word for the day here. I'd tell you why but everyone else already has, so just go read what they daid again for my opinion.
  5. The master speaks!! Truman Sparks for President
  6. Ever see the stunt Troy Hartman did based on this? It's pretty cool. Truman Sparks for President
  7. Welcome to the forums, soon to the sky. You're gonna love them both, and both are ultra addictive. Of course one thing they do share is awesome people, yep, like your roomie. Truman Sparks for President
  8. this help? Truman Sparks for President
  9. Guess I don't know that one. What type of music we talking about here? Truman Sparks for President
  10. Careful, there Reverend, you might cause a stampede with that stuff, and then only AggieDave would survive. I've seen the westerns, only cowboy type folk can handle stampedes. Truman Sparks for President
  11. c'mon, viking, picture, link, anything? Truman Sparks for President
  12. I thought my antics wouldn't reach me back here in the states, that's why I go overseas to do this stuff. Dammit, now everyone will know. Meanwhile, back at the ranch....I would have loved to see that. i would have had a lawn chair and a case of beer for that show! Truman Sparks for President
  13. I'm not trying to be hostile or anything, I was just postwhoring away, putting my two shiney copper things in there. Sorry if I offended. Truman Sparks for President
  14. Yeah, this reallycool girl I know told me about this site. I love it, fun stuff. Truman Sparks for President
  15. If you don't mind doing the work I'd love to read that. I'm sure there's more than just a couple people who are interested, too. Truman Sparks for President
  16. That is a gorgeous color! And being the gentleman that I am I feel the need to let you know that I wish you much success in fulfilling the longing you have. Truman Sparks for President
  17. What, boobies? As far as the statistics question goes, yeah, we're all skydivers here, for the most part, but think about it. What percentage of your life is spent skydiving? Also, just a footnote, a person can juggle stats to make them say whatever he damn well wants. That's why advertisers like them so much
  18. Hahaha, god bless the onion, and thanks for posting that one. Truman Sparks for President
  19. I wish I could be there, but alas, I'm all about saving my travel $$ for rantoul. I'm not sure if they'll be down there or not, but if you meet some people named the Fletcher's they're always entertaining. Truman Sparks for President
  20. Ya know, Wendy, that last post sent me off thinking in a fun little tangent here. Some times all I can do is sit back and laugh at humanity. We all usually think along the same lines as far as things like peace and violence are concerned: peace=good, violence=bad. But we all look at how to get there in different ways that are based on our experiences and our point of view. The funny/sad thing about it is we usually end up fighting over those differences, each of us thinking that if we can pound our point of view into the other's head then they will understand and become peaceful. Talk about your giant Catch-22. Truman Sparks for President
  21. See, I totally agree with this, I just don't count on just that. Most of the time that works just fine for me. Maybe it's the places I go, but there is always that one person that pops up sooner or later and doesn't care how much I may respect him as a person, he just wants to prove he's tough by starting crap with the biggest guy in the bar. This behavior isn't limited to bars, either, there will always be someone who wants to get violent for no good reason. When my respect and consideration aren't enough I'll be the very first to say I'm sorry, you're right whether I am or not. The thing is, even after all that, sometimes you still might have to assume a threatening posture. Usually that's enough, but there are a few times when the that doesn't work either, and for those times it pays to be prepared. Like Mr. Miaggi(sp?) said, "No, Daniel san, it is not good to fight, but if you must fight, it's best to win." Truman Sparks for President
  22. yep, you're dirty. Filthy. I would go so far as to let you know that you're a nasty little whore. Congrats all the same Truman Sparks for President
  23. Nice looking rig. Also, next time you send Heather an email you can tell her there's at least one skydiver who is firmly convinced. Next time I have a rig to buy I'll go through her. I've seen all kinds of advertisements for all kinds of companies, but the absolute best I've heard is the word of mouth coming from people like you. Truman Sparks for President
  24. I dunno, maybe I'm a pesimistic bastard but I also like to think I'm a student of humanity. From everything I've ever seen I firmly believe that the second 99% of all people were nice and peaceful then that last 1% would jump up, beat them down andn take whatever they they had that the 1% wanted. The only way I've stayed relatively peaceful in many many situations (bar fights, for example) was by projecting a force that the 1% felt couldn't be overcome. Disagree with me all you want, cause I love a good debate
