The Grand Emir, Ruler and Spiritual Leader of The Kingdom of Egomania, has a ravenous and insatiable appetite for egocentric self rule. To satisfy his hunger, the king must have a constant supply of fresh self thinkers to destroy daily. His Immanence the King is a most jealous sovereign and is very protective of his importance to the diving world. To that end he has ordered all members of his court to turn in their jetfins at the end of each dive, unable to go diving, the court has had to seek other ways to satisfy their Ruler, they are ordered to watch the nets and pounce upon all those not of the same mind set, insulting and ridiculing them, and all sorts of name calling for high scores. At the end of the week, the finless ones with the highest scores are allowed to haul tanks for their Exaulted Ruler, and quite possibly accompany the Grand Emir into the dark. In the Kingdom of Egomania, rank has its privileges. His Majesty, the High Exalted Sultan, has sent his subjects in search of all divers not members of his Kingdom. What does the brainwashed legions of His Majesty do whenever they locate an unsuspecting, nonmember of the court? Why anything they want, after all, they are under the protection of His High Immanence, and like their ruler, they are not bound by the limits of common courtesy and decency. Oh, no, not these. They are above all others in all things. They will take photos, insult your weight, your equipment, training agency, instructor, wives, fins, your hair and even your dog. His Exaultedness the Supreme Potentate's appetite for insults knows no bounds. Mothers have taken to hiding their young divers in the refuge of IANTD and TDI, afraid that his Immanence the King will dress their offspring in rubber suits, take them into dark passages and have his way with them. Cleanliness is next to godliness, and so is the Great Mogul, Supreme Ruler of the Kingdom of Egomania. And for this he has assembled a mighty staff of royal backscrubbers. He has had all his male servants and members of his court castrated, in this manner, they are unable to piss in his cave, and most importantly, unable to screw him. In the Kingdom of Egomania, no one but The Great One himself, is allowed to dive, all others are rounded up, photographed, full body searched, c-cards seized, instructors are impaled, set afire, strapped to their teknas and set adrift. The Kingdom does good things, the subjects are good people, they are only misled into thinking that His Immanence the King is right in all things. Only they are allowed to use an alias, fearfuil of the light they must hide their identities. They forget how His Mightyness begged and pleaded with IANTD to become an instructor, however, refusing to make the requested public apology to IANTD, it's staff and Instructors, The Most Exaulted one whined and crawled his way to TDI, given special dispensation for his knowledge, abilities and promises to behave himself, his Lordship was now a full fledgedmember of TDI, only to destroy what little credibility he had left by insulting one of our sports most recently departed. We need to return to a time when all helped all others, pointing out a better way without spending so much energy insulting the living and especially the departed. This Kingdom needs an enema, it screams to be renamed and have its Self Appointed Monarch beheaded, unfortunately, since the males have been castrated, no one has the balls to accomplish this.
