The Ballad of NetDoc
(sung to the tune of Zorro)

The diver known as NetDoc!!!

Hey Joewr...I really hope you aren't a teacher and are this hard on your students!
In anycase...I came up with the first "theory"..so even if I don't get the infamous bottle...I at least want a beer when you come to Guam!
*grins and waves her ear*

Scubabunny,
For you, and only you, a consolation prize has been created! Name the brand, and it shall be yours!
Tough? You think that I am tough? Well, just talk to the grandchildren...they really prefer me over mom and dad! Who always has a cookie available? Granpa! Who makes neat toys in his shop? Granpa! Who plays funny scoot-around-on-the-carpet games? Granpa! Tough? I cannot imagine who you are talking about?
Joewr--a pussycat in a great white shark's skin.

hehe...ain't that what granddads are made for??? To spoil the grandkids rotten??
Now....as for the beer....I normally am a Coors Light girl..but I LOVE microbrewery stuff! Can't get there here on Guam. I think you can get one (and ONLY one) through customs. Wanna try???
If not, Coors light will work.
And, NO..my thirst is not waiting! Taking care of that myself...but I'll save your bottle (or can) and keep it on my windowsill! (don't you feel special now!)
I'm just so excited I actually get to meet someone from the board!! Someone is acutally coming to this little rock!!!!!
*hops up and down and wiggles her tail* (but not THAT kind of wiggle! I'm a RABBIT for gods sake! ohhhh...never mind!)

Yo M&M,
Run on humor is always the best... brings out the worst in some though (I might add, knowingly)

My Fellow Americans (Oops, I thought I was on the US Politics Board...)
Let's start again...
My Fellow Scuba Divers,
It is with some degree of sadness that I must announce that, of the millions of divers who frequent this Board, no one was able to provide documentation as to the origin of the term "ocotopus" as applied to a certain piece of scuba gear.
My main man, Rainreg, did not cross the finish line first and, therefore, Barbara and I will be forced to share that bottle of wonderful Groth '97 Cabernet that I had reserved for the winner. Well, it's an ill wind that blows no good.
However, in the defense of Rainreg, I must hasten to add that no one crossed the line at all. Black(I am not supposed to fool with his name in this space)net was closing strongly, but came up lame in the stretch...
I will keep searching, though, and report back if ever I find the appropriate documentation.
Now, since I am going away and I fear that NetDoc will turn this into some kind of Pun Site or a thread where shaggy dogs will shed, I hearby try to close this thread!
Joewr...flexing his muscles... and if that doesn't work, pleading with Ladydiver...
