Hey BigTime,
I was at the Florida Ironman and did not see you or your grandmother.  I did
see about 1500 of the most competitive and well trained athletes in the
world there, though.  The competion was fierce and for a first time
triathelete, not just first time at the Ironman distance, but first tri
period, I can tell you from experience George did well.  And, until you can
put up or shut up in ANY endevour, please GFY.

In the meantime, if you want to make an ass of yourself, tell us about the
time you grabbed only a stage bottle, mask, fins and speargun to go catch
dinner in the middle of a trimix course and encouraged your students to do
the same.  One hand on the gun, one hand on the bottle, how do you help
someone?  You must be very good.

Or tell us about how you  make students prove themselves by swimming as hard
as possible at 170'+ on air so they can experience narcosis.

Tell us about scootering with intro to cave or 'overhead environment diver'
qualified divers to or past the trashroom in jackson blue on the super
studly scooter of choice the Torpedo.

Tell us about the time you they found and brought home a large female
lobster with eggs out of season.

Tell us about o2 cleaning steel bottles with pool chemicals.

Shall I go on?  Pop your head up again and I'll take it right off, you
lowlife scumbag.

 OR just improve your breathing rate...like George does.
 First enter an Ironman competition and brag about it.
 Second finish 79th out of 111, (just ahead of my grandmother in her 
wheelchair, on O2).
 Then lie about your breathing rate. (I'm sure a 13 cu ft pony will do for a 
60 min deco.)

Some of my thoughts are a second reg assembly, first stage, second stage and 
pressure gauge. I also was thinking of mounting the tank upside down.
