And another thing - Radios at the dive park. What is your damage?

[Mo2vation]

Seriously.

To the clueless chick against the Casino wall with the iPod dock on Saturday. What is your deal?

A beautiful, warm summer day. Princess here decides on her SI that she's gonna bust out the iPod dock. Kitten drops in her iPod, she BLAST's some rancid tripe, and (this is the very best part), then walks away to go look for the friends that are sharing the bench with her - while Phish or Matchbox 20 or whatever nonsense gumdrop here is sharing with the rest of the parking lot is distorting out of her precious iPod dock.

Are you kidding me?

5 or 6 minutes later she returns. Her friends return. They all change and hang out on the bench, with sweetpea's music blasting into the lot.

Here's a tip, cupcake: BRING HEADPHONES. Nothing, with the possible exception of stealing someone's spools, reels and slates is more rude than bringing loud music to a public camp site, a public beach or dive site. Although you think the universe revolves around you, sweetheart, it sadly doesn't. You're in your 30's now, doll (or you're a hard looking 20-something) - its time to grow up, 'k punkin?

Shut that damn thing off.

Unreal.

Dang, sounds like someone is getting a little grumpy with age Come on you young whippersnappers, show some respect for your elders...crank some WHO next time !

Would have been a shame if I accidentally dropped my HP100 on it. Or inadvertently spilled saltwater in it as my BC decided to vent just as I walked by. Stuff happens.

Hey Ken,

Phish != Matchbox Twenty.

They were just celebrating the fact that they saved the whales from the discarded slates and spools they recovered on the previous dive.
At least when it happens in a car you can roll up a window or thow pennies at them.

Was she hot?

Gonna have to agree with you Ken
... it just annoys the crap outta me when others force me to listen to their stuff ... and almost always at a volumn that forces you to raise your voce to converse with the person next to you

Rig .. yeah, maybe some Deep Purple ;-)

This occurred as we were packing up from the last dive. Moments later we were off to Descanso Beach Club with DrB.

If this happened at 9:00 AM, I'd be up in her grill with some active aggression.

Actually, that's not true. I'd be polite.

Then I'd be funny.

Then I'd be a turd to her.

Then I'd most likely move.
