  1. Since I dont know you......I assume the "worst"So dont take it personally!Now since I have "talked" to hooknswoop and you have posted a reply that clarifies your previous post,I will stand down and cut you some slack! Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
  2. ***The only other documentation I have found on HALO operations recounts Rhodesian HALO jumps in the late 1970s I believe there were some "unemployed" US special forces guys that were involved in some of the HALO stuff in Rhodesia both with there paras and and Selous scouts......their names escape me at the moment,but they probably wouldnt want them mentioned anyhow!

  5. Everyone diving ahould already know this but....... EA32 depth limit 130 fsw EA36 depth limit 110 fsw compressed air exceeds O2 toxicity limits at 224 fsw max O2 exposure 1.6 ATA I am using an Aeris Atmos Nitrox computer for the enriched air dives and an oxy spy gas analyzer for O2 content analysis......are you up for a little dive trip to Ireland?

  6. And if he marries that man.....is that bigamy? Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
  7. Uhhh.......dont be lulled into a false sense of security just because your tank has enriched air in it......it is still possible to get bent with "nitrox" if you disregard your time limits and with nitrox,you should also be aware of oxygen toxicity.....and bad news is you can do everything perfect (well within limits,safety stop,conservative dive profile etc.)and still get bent!

  8. *** Might as well base your vote on Krusty the Clown's political opinions. Well.....maybe , but I think Krusty is Libertarian and they havent a prayer this year Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004

  10. No big surprise there.....as worthy as there cause may be,it will never see the light of day.There were charges made by the Nader campaign about a month or so ago accusing the Kerry campaign of "dirty tricks"......very limited media exposure there too. Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
  11. I have no problem with a "for profit" company turning a profit........Lets see......other businesses that are "for profit".......dz operators,gear manufacturers....videographers......aircraft manufacturers,fbo's etc.The name of the game is return on investment.And like any "liquid commodity" it is subject to supply and demand price fluctuation....but you knew that didnt you? Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
  12. Uhh.....along the same lines.....the cafeteria at CU Boulder is named after Alferd Packer, a Colorado resident that was the only man ever convicted of cannibalism in the USyummy Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004

  16. QuoteSo, we can count on your vote? Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
  17. I was always "impressed" by his alliance with Jane Fonda and the anti-war movement........throwing away his purple hearts (the same ones that he is so proud of now!)accusing his fellow sailors of war crimes.....admitting to war crimes........yeah......you bet.......that's the guy I want running the country Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
  18. Quite a thesis,billvon.......but I didnt see any mention of the largest single contributor of "bad" gases to our atmosphere.......volcanoes!More CO2 and methane and sulfur compounds than all man made sources combined Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
  19. There are some thinking that we are entering an ice age in the next 300-1000 yrsso what is it the heat before the cold?Any thoughts on that?I mean we are overdue for one, after all...... Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
  20. Don't let Richard Gere anywhere near it! Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
  21. ***Hagis doesn't scare me. (though bad hagis is disgusting) Is there such a thing as "good" haggis.....or is that an oxymoron? Now for gumbo.....if you stick to the seafood varieties you can generally tell what's in itany other type and you are taking your chances......coonasses will eat anything And there is nothing quite like the aroma of a blutwurst over a campfire early in the morning Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
  22. QuoteThen they should be forced to eat blutwurst, know what it is before they eat it. If you can eat haggis....you can eat anything! Marc SCR 6046 SCS 3004
