  1. Not a reply to anyone in particular - around the time of spectre230, who was the secret agent guy? or was that actually spectre 230? I wish the old archives were still around... ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  2. Compared to point break, fandango is practically a documentary. New people should watch the Bill Booth video before a tandem, and Fandango before AFF-1. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  3. Careful not to do it too soft and wind up with an angry dragon... ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com

  8. >>How about he doesn't post stupid shit he doesn't really mean on a public forum in the first place?
  9. Only idiots buy from Genius Camera. But I bet they have the lowest price. However, the lens cap is an extra $200 and you have to buy it. Get it from bhphotovideo.com, adorama, keh, dell, dbuys, amazon (not marketaplace) or another reputable vendor. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  10. I go every year. People there can be snooty. If you do not know people on a team it is not that much fun because you really have no place to hang out - you are stuck just watching people cook from a distance. If you are with lots of girls you will get invited into all the tents. I always make sure I go with a group with more girls than guys. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  11. >>Here's what a berkeley professor said during one of his lectures after his laptop was stolen:
  12. Your poll is missing one choice - the camel toe. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  13. I thought this was a WFFC thread. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  14. Stay strong. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  15. You can only owe one case per jump. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  16. I think your acquaintance is at least partially correct - a USPA license is a license to kill yourself. It is a license to stop listening to other people. It is a license to jump at unfamiliar dz's without a proper briefing about the outs. It is a license to choose gear with fashion rather than safety in mind. In many cases, it is a license to stop getting pin checks. It is a license to organize a stupid dive plan with three other people who do not know any better - ie - "the four of us will build a round, then two of us will sit fly for a while, and then the two freeflyers will pull at six grand while you two turn points down to four grand..." etc. Not all pithy euphemisms are devoid of relevant insight.

  17. Dude, I have been thinking about you a lot. Heal well, and do not be afraid to let people in this community know if you need anything. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  18. Perhaps they assumed, correctly, that it was fake. What would you have considered a good reaction? ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  19. On a first date about two years ago, my cc was declined. I gave another and moved on. After the date, I called to ask why, and they told me that teh charge (dinner at a restaurant near my office where I eat often) was unusual so they had declined it. They then turned the card back on. When my statement came, I had $10 thousand of charges in different countries South America for music equipment that I had to dispute. Let's see, which one did their computer actually tell them was odd? Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  20. I think you can (or at leasat could) download the parts you need for the coach course. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  21. You're a stud, Chris. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  22. We have a girl named "Yes Turns" because when she was going through AFF, she read the dive flow that said "Above 6,000 Feet - Yes - Turns" for the bottom end of the dive. When I asked here what level of AFF she was on, she said "the one where I learn yes turns." Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  23. AD - I did not realize it was your birthday. Have a good one. Brent ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
  24. And, most importantly, those of us who are sensitive to fluorescent lights will no longer be force to see the world in such horrible light. This truly is great news. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com
