I've been waiting for someone to ask me to skydive!  My friends are
wet farts - I did a few jumps years ago and had an absolute blast, but
nobody I hang out with these days is up to it - even with my nagging
and questioning their manliness...  Girly men, all of them...  :D

I wanted to get my skydiving license this past summer as part of my
"summer of George", but never got the chance because none of my
castrated friends wanted to join me...  Bunch of rock-less bastards...

So, anytime Marc!

To anyone who hasn't tried flinging themselves out of an airplane DO
IT!  Just make sure the instructor on the other end of your radio
doesn't realize there's still ONE more guy up there that could REALLY
use some instructing, and you end up saying to yourself:

  "Ok Self, you can do this...  Ok, so they forgot about you, no
problem...  You can do this...   Not only can you do this, you're
going to land right in the circle!    Ok, now is not the time to
panic...   Damn it, this is the 21st century, why do I only have a
one-way radio...  Oh ya, I'm at a ratty outfit where we had to "LEAN
FORWARD!!!!!!!" just to get off the ground at the VERY end of a
cornfield that moonlights as a runway...   Ok, here we go, this looks
like a good place to turn into the wind to land, alright here we
go..........    Uh oh.... WTF!  Why am I going down, but not
forward???     Hmmmm.  Power lines, a road, a farm...   Farm it is....
Damn, that ground is coming up pretty fast...  Oh SHIT!!!   Where'd
that barn come from...   Crap....  TURN MOTHER<bleep>ER, TURN... 
Hmmmm, landing WITH a 15mpg wind - we didn't cover that in "class"...

   as you hit the ground already spinning your legs so fast Carl Lewis
would be proud...

Of course this is all theoretical, nothing that crazy could happen on
your second jump, right?   :)
