Mods; can we make this thread a stinky?

Get thee gone, thou varlet!

Nerds are not mentioned in the TOS.

i think the original MOFNMOF thread was up to something like 100,000 replies and 500,000 views...

slight exaggeration -- numbers are actually 66,758 and 325,358 (i was within a factor of 2 though...)

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Too bad that's all it is, an imitation. :mooner:

Larry, maybe you could tell the OP your own experience with "false alarms" underwater and why your dive buddy at the time (me) had to swim away as fast as possible...

OK, mea culpa, mea culpa, it is true!

Pakman (who incidentally is a truly diabolical diver and a huge stroke:mooner: ) wrote up the incident from a Philippines dive trip as follows...

I thought I should share:sappy:

Alright, a short trip incident report from the DOR III...

I forget which dive it was, but we were at the end of another fine dive in Puerto Galera when my dive buddy thepurplehammerhead thumbed the dive. As we neared our 5m safety stop, he was frantically unbuckling his BP/W. Odd ... I pulled out my DSMB and prepared to launch it when Larry starts frantically waving me off... Strange ... When I give him the shrugged shoulders sign, he continues to flail his arms in a gesture suggesting "go away!"... Finally he starts pointing to his arse and then points to my camera and gives me the international "NO" sign... then it finally dawned on me what Larry was up to...
OMG!!! NOT the infamous W**hammer Maneuver!! After flooding my mask from laughing so hard, I started to swim away as fast as I could trying to remember which way the current was going... And just as Larry was about to remove his BP/W we look down to see a group of 8 divers innocently swimming by into what could have been the talk of their dive trip... (mind you the viz was excellent on that dive and you could almost see the bottom) I've never seen someone with such an agonizing face underwater... Finally Larry made a dash for the surface and I continued to swim upcurrent as far away as possible...

I eventually surfaced to an unfortunately (or fortunately) anticlimatic ending... I was expecting a massive fish feeding frenzy only to learn that all Larry had was just a case of bad gas... pffff...
