diving sunday

There are drive through liquor stores, I've seen them in Australia and I think they have them in parts of this country. Maybe near New Orleans.

Man... and all I asked about was how is lobster hunting in Mass... And now frou frou and drive through.... I've been drinking Sapporo lately... For a Japanese brew it ain't too bad.

Mass boys (Or any other coldwater crazy people) - best WET suit out there nowadays??? (My Henderson is about had it - gotta replace it - need advice)... Looking to spend about 3 bills and will only use (DON'T KNOW WHY) a jumpsuit (with a shorty sometimes)... ANY SUGGESTIONS???

About the drive through liquor stores, there are some drive through beer and wine places in the south. Saw a couple in the Greensboro, NC area. Had to get a couple six packs just so I could say I did. Don't remember what it was we got, but it certainly was not a frambiose lambic. Think I'll stick with my Guinness.

And about the Sapporos... Having a few after a few maitais and before a shot of tequila is not the best idea in the world, looking back.

unless you dive RI and some of those folks get away with a one piece 7mm. Also, it depends on what you consider a "dive". Being down for 20 minutes, having a 2 hour SI to warm up and going down again for 20 minutes isn't a "dive" for me. That's a "taste" but there are folks who think that's fine and that's all they want to do.

My suggestion, despite your emphasis on "WET" is save your money and get a drysuit...you'll be much happier.

I second the drysuit vote. But then, I'm a wuss. I did try on the Pinnacle semi-dry with attached hood recently, and it seemed quite nice - I will probably buy one sometime this summer, though I doubt I'll ever wear it around here.

(FYI - Drive-through liquor stores used to be omnipresent in my home state (Florida). They were especially popular when I was in high school...ahem, not that I knew anything about drinking before I was 21...)

Two piece 7mm is definately the way to go, but if you insist on a jumpsuit you might want to try out the new ones like the pinnacle. I haven't tried any of the single piece suits though, so I can't really offer any useful insight.

What the heck is a Belgian framboise lambic?

Tried it once.....nasty stuff! Although I hear it makes a great engine cleaner.

Sounds like a halfassed way to simultaneously waste good brew and ruin an engine. I've got a better idea... why not smash a bottle of whiskey and pour sugar in your gas tank?

Wow. It's like my coworker used to say: "if you have a great idea, there is a 99.9% chance somebody already thought of it" Of course I meant it as a joke (as if drinking and driving don't mix, but that doesn't seem to be a problem in New Orleans, eh?)

Crazy world. Next thing you know they'll be telling you there is a device out there that lets you breathe underwater...nah… not that crazy
