BASE jumping literaly stands for Building, Antenna, Span (bridge), Earth (cliff).
When skydiving isnt quite enough what do you do, base jump. Jumping from a fixed object. It is the craziest fucking shit ever. Basicaly you find a building or anything thats about 400ft and up, and jump off pulling your chute only seconds from the ground. If your reall skilled you do some flips and spins on the way down. There a some hot spots around the world like New River Gorge Bridge (USA), Petronas Towers (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), and many more.
Similar to base jumping, but instead of freefalling, the diver is equipped with flaps below their arms and between their legs. The diver then "flies" around similar to a flying squirrel. Most wingsuit jumpers attempt to fly as close to the cliff/wall as possible.
Guy 1 - Hey, we're going to the Alps to go wingsuit (base) jumping... you wanna come?
Guy 2 - Hell ya, we'll be flying like sqirrels!
BASE is an acronym that stands for; Building, Antenna, Span (ex. a bridge), Elevation (ex. a cliff). To become a "base jumper", participants in this extreme sport are required to parachute from at least one of each of the four structures/elevations that make up it's name.
Pro snowboarder, Jim Rippey can be seen performing a base jump from an antenna in the movie, TB8.
The sport that only very cool or stupid people do that involves running and then jumping of the side of a cliff or object. After having a wild fall downwards the person pulls their parachute hoping that it opens. If not they die.

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.
Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
