Wally Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Land on a boat, any boat, even an aircraft carrier, especially underway, with a sea. You don't need exciting music and narrative, you'll be plenty entertained. 1 Quote
Gomer Pylot Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Especially a seismic boat with the pad on the bow, in 6'+ seas. Quote
Francis Meyrick Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 any other tuna chopper jockeys amused by this A-B-C beginner's stuff? (try blowing 35 knots, and your boat rocking/rolling/heaving/slamming up-down 30 feet?) 2 Quote

Astro Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 I just thought it looked like fun, not trying to start any kind of pissing contest on who's job is more challenging. Quote
Francis Meyrick Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Now-now-now. Don't be sensitive. Not around here. No-no-no.Spike and I belong to the uncouth lower caste, the Indians refer to us as "Untouchables". Simply put, we are smelly ruffians, and we believe Holy Cows are for hamburgers, screw the Holiness, no target is too sacred, Grandma was a crazy Thespian, and we love to stir the manure. Don't take anything we say personal, or to heart. Honestly. You poor, feeling fish. (Oops...). Edited June 7, 2014 by Francis Meyrick Quote
