Dear Abby (NOT Abbie, so don’t even bother replying, fatby…)

I have a friend (not me!) who might have a basejumping addiction.

It seems these days people are telling him that he has a jumping problem and it may be affecting his everyday life.

He doesn’t think it’s a problem, in fact, I think he’s trying to figure out how to jump even more than he does now.

How do I know if my friend has a jumping problem?

Is there some kind of support group our counseling available for persons with jumping addictions?

I have heard of a 12 step program and mentioned it to him, but he said he is currently on a 1 step program and that it is working pretty good for him.

Thanks,

Friend-of-busy-jumper.

Dear Friend-of-busy-jumper,

Buy your friend some microwavable salisbury steak dinners, a big bag of doritos, a gallon of ice cream and a nice TV. Sit him on the couch for 5 hours a night and watch him get fat. After he gets addicted to a good sit com and a prime time drama and after he adds a few inches to his waist line all of a sudden really living life will seem like a long forgotten dream.

Love,
Abby

Hey now

That one crackhead wasn’t begging for money – she was earning it for sure!

Packed – only two rigs, but mostly that’s enough.

This thread about you? Almost, but not quite yet. Sticking around for a CPC debrief and awards when you could be out doing some real jumping is a real sign of still having fairly normal priorities…

ya i suppose hell i only got second it's the fame i live for dammit

Doesn't work. All that made me do was have to get a bigger canopy!

As for you Sam, you have many issues but jumping ain't one of them Keep up the good work.
