The Hardcore Whuffo
Home Page.
I am currently waiting for my first jump (the reasons for the delay shall
remain untold), as I was trying to learn about the lifestyle (according
to the Rec.Skydiving
F.A.Q. skydiving is a lifestyle) I realized that instead of being
an aspiring jumper I became way to close to something that I will call
the Hardcore Whuffo (HCW).
This page is an attempt to atone for my sins agains the Sky Gods.
On to the everyday whuffos Vs. hardcore whuffos
comparative chart.
The Harcore Whuffos Anonymous 12 step program.
Some background info on the hardcore whuffo.
Whuffos are somewhat annoying creatures that usually don't stick around
long enough to become too irritating. However hardcore whuffos are an
everpresent nuisance, they pose as prospective skydivers and vicariously
enjoy other people's jumps by enagaging in discussion with them, sometimes
about the most bizantine subjects.
Hardcore whuffos lack any hands-on experience but they make out for it
by watching TV, reading magazines and annoying skydivers. A true harcore
whuffo knows the USPA regulations by
heart, knows who is the best candidate for every elective position and
claims to know embarassing facts about some of their opponents.
The garden variety hardcore whuffo is the most common and least dangerous
of the species. It is the Born Again Whuffo (BAW) who is to be really
feared. They have some experience with skydiving that had a negative impact
in their life and is trying to infiltrate among skydivers to annoy them
enough to make them quit the lifestyle.
