Thanks Mary and Duke for so many great years! Goodbye New Hanover Airport... Hello Flying M |
| BOOGIE QUOTE
"I'll always remember my first few Herd Boogies and the spell they created. Four or five days of intense skydiving. The dropzone was the only place in the world that mattered. When the Boogie ended I'd reluctantly go back to the real world. It took me days to come back down to earth. I'd keep my wrist band on, refusing to emerge from the spell that enveloped me. It was like making love to a good woman and not wanting to shower for fear of losing that glorious scent." anonymous.............. PSYCHO NEWS Psycho Joe has retired from his real job. This is proof that he is much older than we thought.... Rumor has it that while out at Quincy this year Joe made a high altitude jump and refused oxygen on the way to altitude. An anonymous source said, "If he had any brain cells left they died that day." MARTIN SHOWS HIS TALENT FOR RELATIVE WORK Mike Martin is competing in the 4-way Nationals on Sue Sweetman's team,which is based at Cross Keys. Obviously, Mike is also very good at two way. He and his wife Amy just had a baby boy, Michael Jr. MORE ON TWO WAY Joe and Krista say they will miss the many nights of "runway" passion at New Hanover. They say they hope to christen the "M" in typical Hadfield fashion. |
BEST BOOGIE JOKE
Dave Dewolf's "I Could Have Saved Mom" (ask him about it) DON'T READ THIS This is thoroughly tasteless and inappropriate, so it could only be printed in DZDIRT. Gary Van Horn, who is no stranger to "Choking the chicken", "Spanking the Monkey" or "Shaking hands with the unemployed", challenged a Swamp Sister to come up with comparable euphemisms involving the female gender. The results are Poking the Poodle, Cuking the pubes, Diddle the clittle, Doing the banana dance, Fingering the merchandise and our favorite. "Bushwacking" TRUE STORIES Bill Sweeney, old time Herd member, is the only person we know who was thrown out of France. Anybody can be thrown out of a bar, but getting thrown out of a whole country, now that's awesome. What makes it even better is that he was thrown out of France for doing a base jump off the Eiffel tower. His buddy BJ Worth was making the jump for a James Bond film. Bill thought he'd make a jump too. But the French can tell the difference between one canopy and two canopies. He was promptly sent home................. Tom Huff used to show up at the dz in an old hearse, for a weekend of skydiving. It always raised a few eyebrows................ During a boogie a long time ago, after a long night of partying, a jumper lay passed out cold on the dirt road that runs along the runway. A car came along and ran him over. An AAD would not have prevented this fatality......... | ONE LAST WET TEE SHIRT CONTEST According to Frank Sylvester, one of the founding fathers of United Parachute Club and life long admirer of badacious tatas, there will be a wet t shirt contest at the boogie. Says Frank, "I want ya to understand me. We be lookin for a few gifted young ladies. And by the way, if you're not a gifted young lady and you're a spectator, get the hell back in the spectator area and stay off the fence too.........." NEW DZ- NEW EXCUSE Mike Bailey says it take time for him to get used to spotting at the new dz. "My spotting has really been good at New Hanover for the last year or so" "Yeah, right Mike. It's called a "GPS"....... Chuck McGees' favorite memory... I'll never forget the time they burned Pete Wilson's car Saturday night at the boogie. Then they gave him a better one. SHAMELESS NOSTALGIA I can't help thinking about this beautiful land that we love so much. You can look down the runway and see the best sunsets in the world, or watch the swifts darting around the field in a way that we wish we could fly. And there are gray herons that fly over and deer that hang out here. What will happen to them when the bulldozers arrive? Once I found an Indian arrowhead when I was packing on the grass. The Indians probably loved to hunt on this swampy land. They have long disappeared and now we are the Indians and we are going to disappear. The saying goes that change is good.... But is it always? editor.. |
