  1. Done. I'll make it look pretty when I am not at work.
  2. Oh crap, I better update the webpage today...
  3. Whenever life get you down, Mrs. Brown, And things seem hard or tough. And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft, And you feel that you've had quite enu-hu-hu-huuuuff! Just - re-member that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour, It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned, the sun that is the source of all our power. The Sun and you and me, and all the stars that we can see, are moving at a million miles a day, In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour, of the Galaxy we call the Milky Way. Our Galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars, it's 100,000 light-years side-to-side, It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light-years thick, but out by us it's just 3000 light-years wide. We're 30,000 light-years from galactic central point, we go round every 200 million years, And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions in this amazing and expanding universe. The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding, in all of the directions it can whizz, As fast as it can go, at the speed of light you know, twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is. So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, how amazingly unlikely is your birth, And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, because there's bugger all down here on Earth.

  4. Nope, I'm a Texan, GWB's country (that's sarcasm, and I am done with it and it's political nature). I think it's friggin hilarious anybody would tandem with either of these guys. Neither, after all, has been through a Strong tandem class. Phhhhhtttttffffftttttt. Drink more beer, like me!! Happy new freakin' years!!!
  5. Oh for fuck's sake this was posted to be funny. Come on, GWB or HJS, neither could handle a tandem. Get off the political BS and laugh for a minute. It's skydiving, it's funny. Enjoy yourself. That's all I posted this thing for in the first place. If you can't abide by that then PM me your political garbage. Life is short: have fun. Happy f*****g new years, Mark d.
  6. It seems more people would trust Homer Simpson than George Bush as their tandem master.
  7. I had no idea that was part of the Max Cohn dive..
  8. Dave, Since I was planning on mixing margaritas as well, I will bring the tequila and a stash of limes to get us started. You can cover whatever else is in 'crack margaritas'. Cool?
  9. Joyce, I am sure if you email your pictures to jumpinfo@skydivesanmarcos.com manifest will pass them along to Christian.
  10. I recieved this email from Robert Smith (gravity rats). Here are his details of what he is organizing for us. BTW, there are still two more groups slots available so get four people together and come on out.
  11. Yes, thank you very much, Skydive Dallas! The Caravan rocks !
  12. Hey, if you close to New York you may have your opportunity to actually try this. Check out this post on craigslist. Much like our gear manufacturers they don't guarantee your complete safety but you shouldn't have a problem with that.
  13. X-Country out of the DC-3 at last years Holiday Boogey. We started dropping at 13,000 5.5 miles from the DZ. It was so cool to watch 80 other canopies opening just outside of that big freaking plane. Hehe, the landing areas were crowded .
  14. [url "http://www.nata2.info/humor/flash/jamezbond.html"]This one sucks pretty bad, too.
  15. Here are some excerpts that i read each week from the Police Log over at The Arcata Eye. Real events, creative writing. Enjoy! Mark d.

    Bad jokes

    I have an upcoming visit with my nephews and need some 'safe', bad jokes for them. I'll start... A pirate with a steering wheel in his pants walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Do you know you have a steering wheel in your pants?" To which the pirate replies, "Arrr, 'tis drivin' me nuts!"

    The day is begun in confusion and wonder who is this chop-chop?
  19. See, you should have used the image I found for you
  20. Sweet, I'm off the site now to get the Mod. Tell me when you want to post a server and I will play.
  21. Yeah, BF1942 kicks ass. I played the demo for three weeks before I went out and finally bought it three months ago. My only gripe: those creeps that gun me down under canopy. When I find those guys guy...
  22. The Tap Room, best bar by far.
