No blog last night because of dive class. No blog Thursday night because of dive class. No blog tonight because of dive tables.
Whadya mean no blog tonight?
I didn't stutter. No blog tonight.
Why?
Dive tables.
What are dive tables?
Dive tables are what you use to determine depth, bottom time and surface time for repetitive dives.
Why?
Because of nitrogen. You do not want to get too much nitrogen in your blood.
Why?
Man you ask a lot of questions. Because too much nitrogen at depth can cause nitrogen narcossis which makes ya dopey. Too much nitrogen in your blood at the surface can cause the bends. So, they've put together dive tables so you can do planning for repetitive dives. I gotta refamiliarize myself with using them. I've also gotta read the last section of the student book for dive class tomorrow night. We get to take two unit tests and probably the final so I want to be ready.
Back to these dive tables. This is the 21st Century. Don't they have, like, computers to do that stuff?
Yep. They do?Then why do you have to learn those stupid dive tables? Why not just use the computer?
Well, let's suppose that Aaron wants to go diving. He might not have time to steal a decent computer. (And let the hate mail begin.) So he, or someone on the boat, will have to consult the dive tables so he won't have any problems.
Aaron? Who he?
Aaron's the guy over at uppity-negro who thinks all of us warbloggers are, in his words, 'racist motherfuckers'. I was talking to my sister last night about his comments and what he called Andrea but when I pointed my Netscape 4.7 browser at his site, it, and I am not making this up, got This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. I know there's a joke in there somewhere. He took exception to some of the things I said about him, mainly that he was a racist. However, I did not call him an MF. He was miffed that I didn't have a comment function on my blog. That's what my e-mail address is for. I would gladly publish anything negative that he may send me. So, if anyone knows Aaron, pass on these instructions.
I'll be back Friday with a Dear Abby letter sent in by Michael and an op-ed about how crossover voting in Georgia's 4th Congressional District, which is Cynthia McPiggy's district, harms the democratic process. Thanks Rachel for that wonderful new name for 'the cutest little communist in Congress'. And I wish I could take credit for the cutest little communist in Congress quote, but I got it from Neal Boortz.
Hey, I thought you weren't gonna blog tonight?
I lied.
