BANG BANG BANG! HEY BOTT TAKE THAT BUCKET OFF YOUR HEAD FOR A MINUTE!

There, now maybe you can now hear that the general consensus is:

1. You are a non-contributor (unless cash is exchanging hands).
2. You are a dive shop monkee (which pretty much explains your behavior).
3. You do a fine job of discrediting yourself (and really don't need any 
help).
4. Apparently you have had one cerebral aneurysm too many, or
5. You did one deep air dive too many and are now in a permanent state of 
narcosis.

So keep on posting, you moron, you are doing a fine job.
