Gilboa Sept 28-30, '07 Fall Meet-n-Greet planning thread. Come dive with us!

Aww man!

I was only teasing... looked like a pretty nice set-up you guys had.

Most of you were diving I'd guess. I was past there three or four times with no one around.

Was he down there with those SODA Goobs?

OK, I give. What's a SODA Goob?

 

[Ber Rabbit]

Southern Ohio Diving Academy (SODA) is a local shop in Dayton. He must have been diving with a group from there. Wonder if I can talk Jim or Rick into adopting that as a dive club name LOL!

Thanks! Now what exactly is a Goob? Is that just a derogatory noun referring to either divers with poor buoyancy control or divers in training?

 

[trucker girl]

Divin'Hoosier- you're in charge of bringing goobs to the meet-n-greet.

Cool ... assuming someone tells me WHAT THEY ARE!!!! Is this Ohio-speak?

 

[Ber Rabbit]

Is it time to start the "who's bringing what" list in terms of equipment and food?

DH is right, it's time for the list and I've started a new thread to accomodate the task. Please keep that thread on topic Keep the off-topic chatter posts out of that thread and put them here so we can have a nice neat list. I'll be moderating the list thread to keep it on topic, please don't make that job a PITA

DH- a goob would be like calling someone a nerd, or a geek, or a weirdo, or a freak. You weren't down there with those SODA freaks, were you? It's like a term of endearment. Goob being short for Goober.

Goobers, btw, are also a type of candy.

 

[Divin'Papaw]

Thanks TG!

You weren't down there with those SODA freaks, were you?

Nope ... wasn't at Gilboa this weekend. What were they doing? Something to screw up the viz I take?

I was using that as an example since the original problem started when Randy asked John if he was down there with those SODA goobs.

Or maybe you got that and were just continuing the fun and excitement...

I think the vis pretty much took care of itself- hey, what's the fun if nobody gets a concussion from slamming into a tree they couldn't see?
