Scot, these resentful pricks all hate me and want badly to believe I am incompetent, and that they all are great divers and can do better. Been going on for years. It is like watching ice hockey - it is really hard to tell who the great players are until the end of the season when you add up the scorecard. The same guys keep racking up the points. I just love to stick it in their faces, and point our that it took me about 20 cave dives before there was nothing any of these bozos had to offer that was not already a joke for me, and that is what is killing them. They all thought they were 12 inch dicks in cave diving and hated it when Bill Gavin drafted me as his dive partner from the rookie ranks and we started knocking the cover off the ball every time, and then they shit when Exley and I started diving together when I had only 3 years of cave diving ahnd tld them that I had "taken the risk out of this kind of diving", and they hated it when Gavin made me Project Director of the WKPP, and they hate it even more now that JJ and I hold all the records, and have done so for years. They all told JJ he as "too young", "woud never do what they can do", etc. I love that shit - he kicked their asses totally and completely in every respect. I also love it when they try to criticize the WKPP - we hold all the cards and we make the rules, and we do not have to answer to anyone in cave diving at all ever, and I love that even more because it just fries these guys, and when they go crying to the Government complaining about me, the Gvt pulls the track record out and says, "gee, can you do better?" Now that is the ultimate laugh.
