The Goat Pen

Hedge, suppose someone claiming to be IB's wife came on here next week and said that he had a heart attack and was dead. Would that bother you at all? FYI - it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

I joke and say I would like to see him die painfully, but I don't actually want that. But if I found out that he died, I wouldn't feel any pang of remorse, grief or even mild sadness. In fairness, I suspect he would feel the same if he found out I died...

I know I would.

You don't mean that. You'd grieve...

I would miss you Hedge. I don't want anyone here at the goatpen to die.

You are all, (for the most part) good people.

Heading to Cozumel tomorrow for 10 days of diving (damn, I started to type "dying"). If anything bad happens, I expect everyone in here to grieve...

"You are all, (for the most part) good people."

I can't imagine who falls outside that "for the most part" if not me. I mean, Rat, of course, but I have to be included with those outside "the most part"...

Have a great time. Enjoy the water, drink lots of Dos Equis, Corona, and Tecate.

I'd grieve like the Bengals won the Super Bowl.

I'd grieve for the fish who have to find a way to survive among your rotting corpse.

Ok, now I will feel really bad if something does happen.....scratch that.

Too late

I will comfort the MYF and her daughters...

MYF?


Monstrous Young Fatties?

Mountainous Yetis of Flab?

Mighty Young Fattie

OK, you guys can stop worrying now, I made it back fine. Great diving and food, as always...

Missed you, hedge. Glad you're back safe.

I don't know if this happens alot, but when we were flying in from Mexico yesterday, heading to Dallas, we were just past Waco (I know this b/c of the cool new app they have on the screens on the back of the seats, you can track exactly where the plane is the whole time), anyway, I was looking out the window and another passenger jet flew by pretty damn close just below us. I guess I don't have any way to estimate how close, but it shot by in like 2 seconds and was gone from view. I have seen other planes out the window before, but they were way further away and you could watch them for a long time as they meandered whichever way they were heading, but this one zoomed by like a rocket (obviously a function of how close it was). I feel like they've got that shit under control, and I'm not sitting here pretending like it was any kind of close call (or maybe it was), but I've never seen one that close before, not even when landing or taking off...

when approaching airports I've seen planes fly below the plane I was on before but the distance was pretty great.
