Anthony, this is exactly what I mean. you and the rest of the weenies are hoping I would say differently - I will not. Go ahead and try me.All of the excuses for diving with idiots don't count for shit. Dive wtih strokes, dive like a stroke, dive deep on air, and you end up like Chrissy's buddy. I see that Jim King had trimix for himslef, but cake for the peons. Everybody who dives wtih nme does it right or stay the fuck out of the water, but then I would not let a piece of shit like Chr8is brwon anywhere near one of my dives, nor would I let Jim King andywhere near me. Anthony, don;t ever write bullshit like this to me again , you little fag, and now you need to step up and pet that pony. You are a clueless little asshole , jsut like all of Chrissy's buddies. go ahead, Anthony, make my fucking day.
