I knew it.
Well, I didn't know it was a bet.
I thought maybe you'd been sentenced by a judge or something.
I'm not surprised that was your first thought!
I didn't want to ask, since if you'd been sentenced to reading this,
what you did must've been very bad.
I can't talk about it. Things happened, lives were ruined, witnesses had to be relocated....
Yes! Absolutely! That definitely means no!
I don't think I understand that.
What is this "no" you speak of?
I'm confused, do you love that I wanted to be offended or is that your attempt at offending me??
Funny thing is. It wasn't horrible.
The chute opened, I looked up, saw tangled lines.
Remembered (luckily) what they told us to do about it,
did it and then enjoyed the rest of the ride.
You're so lucky you remembered what they taught you. I would have had a deer in the headlights moment and blanked out completely.
It was only later that I thought about it.
And even then, I was more.
"Well, I'm not letting that stop me!"
Yeah, stupid gravity!! I'll show you!!!
I kept looking down and thinking
"That's
really far."
I know, it was crazy! How high did you jump from?
The way I did it was:
The instructor would wave you forward.
He'd pull out your drogue chute.
You'd climb out and hold onto the wing strut.
Letting go of the strut and falling would pull the
drogue out of the instructor's hand.
So a couple of seconds of free fall was about it.
That sounds like mine, there was a cord attached to the plane that pulled the chute for me so I only fell maybe 5 seconds. They say free fall is the best part though.
Wow. Sounds scarier than mine.
I don't think we cut the engine at all though.
You just dealt with it.
I didn't know enough to know if the wind force was normal or not.
I didn't really notice when it happened but my friend who was with me noticed the difference between our first and second jumps. It did seem much easier to hold on during the first one.
Did you keep the video of that one?
Must be good for a chuckle (now that you're not dead.)
I did, I actually watched it recently. It seemed much more impressive to me at the time than it looked on video though. It's still a cool souvenir. Did you get pictures or video?
D.E.F.I.N.I.T.E.L.Y
Major bucket list item checked off.
Awesome! One down three hundred more to go
Funny thing is, I actually do have relatives in Germany.
Of course you do! Every time I make up something totally random you tell me it's actually true!!
Close enough.
If I wrote what I want, I'd get banned.
I understand. I think I know a guy who can get that for you. I'll see what I can do.
That is very, very real pizza.
I won't believe that pizza is real until I touch it myself.
That's it?
You can be more insulting than that!
I believe in you!
Oh I know, that was a definite fail, but every time I tried to type **** it would get edited.
Now
that's funny! I wanna be there when you...
No. Wait.
I wanna yell it
with you!
It's fun, especially since it's such and old reference that nobody gets it anymore.
I tend to stretch the truth some times.
Is it bad that I really find it funny that you said
"Proceed with melt down."
Makes it sound so planned and methodical.
That's exactly the way it is. I tell myself repeatedly before arriving that I'm NOT going to freak out because too many people are there. It never works, melt down imminent.
However, I'd like to try Skipper Canteen.
That's on my list for next time. I wasn't too excited by the menu I saw though. I think the desserts were the best part. It will be fun to go just for the theming though.
having the railing in front would solve the problem.
Just remember, face the castle.
Not to worry. I'll never serve you cruelty cake.
It has peanut butter in it.
How nice, you remembered I prefer nutella.
When Alison mentioned Australia, you immediately came to mind.
