Becoming a snob

[dweeb]

You'll find out that 99% of what you read in SCUBA mags is crap.

Roadales and a couple of other mags keep sending me free subscriptions. I ended up putting about 30 of these mags in a cardboard box and using it for target practice...that's about all their good for.

Hey, the pictures are nice. Especially that 'divesuit' edition of Skin Diver.

Are you saying that Sturgeon's Law is out of date? Maybe the 9% increase is due to inflation? :confused_

Sturgeon originally said 95%, according to Harlan Ellison who was present when the law was first stated, so that would be a 4% increase.

Now there's a post for glocktalk! *chortle* Not only is it a great way to show your disgust for these rags, we're saving a tree! How cool is that? *smirk*

The only snobs are those that allow someone to touch their P-valve without warning them first.

*Personal joke aimed at UP...I still love that story and have repeated it to many divers...hehehe

Nope ... you're not a snob until you can walk up to a stranger and, with a perfectly straight face, tell them they're an accident waiting to happen ...

A few weeks ago, on the last dive of my cavern class, my instructor and team are hanging at our deco stop when we see a couple of guys in rental gear with lights, cameras, and guages dangling all over the place go crawling into the cavern. I think to myself, "There's an accident waiting to happen."

And then I'm thinking to myself, "Jesus, I really, really hope those two come out of that cave alive."

When I asked my instructor "What in the hell are we supposed to do in a situation like that?" he answered, "We're not the police of the f#@*ing world."

Hee Hee I'm going to have to do that again with my G17 and some good hollowpoints!

I bet I could do some damage at 20 yards with my 45-70

I got real kick out this! I went out and strapped a couple of DIR divers to my aiplane fuselage and the damn thing wouldn't take off. Then, once I inflated their huge bladders with Trimix, it did begin to float skyward. But I'd say these divers were more like a Hindenberg than an airplane wing.

The above is a parody. It is not to be taken seriously. Any similarity or resemblence to actual people is purely coincedence. No Halcyon equipment was actually hurt in this experiment. If you have any questions, please go to my PR adminstrator, Ms. Helen Wait.
