OK - my second W & C Post

[Mo2vation]

When I threw up my "Neopreme" W&C, I was so blown away wif your funny and insightful responses.

(Requisite disclaimer) this thread will be nothing like that I'm sure. Plus I'm pumped pretty full of narcotics and antibiotics these days following the accident... this one is just for me. Here goes.

When will Dive Shops & Dive Boats knock-it-off already with the cheezy Carribean music, steel drum music, "Unda Dah Sea" and (gag) Buffet crapola blasting on their websites?

Its not fresh, and instantly sends me for the back arrow, and not for the volume control. Its the only welcome that is worse than making me sit through that Magnum Opus flash intro you envisioned and then over-paid some kid big bucks for years ago and just can't let it die. (worse yet is when there is no "skip flash intro...." I am so gone)

Its Two Thousand Freekin' Four. Your site is not fresh, its dated and cheezy and it SUCKS with that intro music blasting. Lose it or lose me and my cash.

OK - I'd done. Man. There are a couple of shops in SoCal and at least two dive boats that insist in living in 1999... And I still run unto them on the web. Get a grip people.

:11: you don't like jimmy buffett! Maybe you just haven't had the right Buffett experience.

As far as music on a dive boat, the funniest one I heard was when a dive boat down in the keys played the theme to JAWS on their underwater speakers. Talk about divers getting on a boat in a hurry.

My loathe for all things Buffet and Beatle are well known on these pages.

I was referring to dive boat and dive site WEBSITES that blast this crap at you when you arrive at their home page.

I guess in thinking, that egregious situation of unwelcome website "music" is not nearly as bad as being stuck on a dive boat in the middle of the ocean with Capt. Heartless blasting all Buffet all the time (huh, Simon?) You got me there...

Shake that parrot off your shoulder and live in the now, babe.

Ken... you a funny guy.

I'm not a big buffet fan either but we went to a great one in Anchorage a couple of weeks ago. It was a Chinese buffet and they had everything!

Boy....isn't that the truth. If he ever get's tired of his day job, I'm sure he could easily get a job writing for Dennis Miller.

Or what about those websites that have those annoying cursor-chasing words!? I'm like moving my cursor to get away from them and they keep freaking chasing me around! You cannot get away from the curse of the cursor.

I took all I could takes and I can't takes no more. Won't buy from sellers on Ebay that have them, I have issues with the cursor.

Dive boats and dive shops use those limp bubble mouse chasers... one shop in SoCal even makes bubble sounds as your mouse leaves cute little bubble trails...

Hate 'em all. Die Die Die

I like playing with the bubble cursors... but I never found one with sound effects... kewl... what is the url?

 

[baltimoron]

well... I say this a lot-

what would you like instead? maybe some Beastie Boys?, Public Enemy?, DMX?, the Wiggles?

oh yeah i HATE Jimmy Buffet. I dunno why- its like somebody saying "Turn that Frown Upside Down!!!" a MILLION times. not that I am against happy music- its just at intoxication levels.

Even with hi-speed I HATE flash intros, music on any page, and worst of all is someone who designed a site thinking bright colored backgrounds are wonderful. It's like driving at night into someone's bright lights! Simple color scheme's, easy to navigate, and font size of about 10 are great.
