Look at the rows of teeth ready to replace the ones that fall out, formidable.

I checked and she is indeed back

I don't know why you guys think it's disturbing, I get a good laugh every time I see it.

More catfish.

Don, too bad you removed the pic, it was a particularly nice one. Cuss words can be uncouth depending on the context, and when used in excess. Titties in a natural setting however is not something we should make shameful. One thing that I definitely don't want changed here is our ability to admire the female form, within the boundaries of good taste.

The way I see it is that it's impossible to set rules about good taste. A pic of a nude female or a cuss word in one context may be perfectly acceptable, and a disaster in another. The moment you start to apply rules to encompass certain inappropriate content, you must generalize and are then eliminating other good content. As such I believe that having good content is not achieved by making rules about what's not allowed, but rather making sure that all the members are good guys who are with the program, and I think this is the case here. Most people come already knowing how to behave and really don't need to have things explained, if they cross the line it's because they choose to, at the same time they would have chosen their way out of here. And those who really don't know how to behave, we are under no obligation to educate them, so they can do the same.

I have a feeling which would be hard to define/the vision I have for the forum, but I believe I've been implementing it along the way. I've made mistakes and there have been inevitable conflicts, but overall it's going good. So, if it ain't broke don't fix it. This is not to say that it wasn't good to have brought up this issue Don. It's an opportunity for those of us who care about the forum to consolidate.

fuzz, the same thing occurred to me when I saw the pic in the other thread. But then I remembered that Don asked specifically about the Cali section. I guess that's the part of the forum he expects to be showing his son, probably not the bikini thread. Still it wouldn't make sense to try and apply this to one section, we might as well deal with it as a forum wide question. I think I've read %90 of the forum content from the time it started and I don't remember seeing f**k spelled out more than a couple of times, and it might have been by me I don't think it's a problem. But if Don wants to draw attention to the issue it's fine by me.

Beautiful pic.

I agree with Gerald.

Don, I'm good with with camouflaging the F word, I don't feel I must spell it out.

Welcome to the forum Mike.

What's that stuck in the fish's head in your avatar?

LOL

It was self defense right? Lets see the full size pic G.R.

fuzz, is that partial serration on a fillet knife, or two different knives?

Glad they're working for you Billy

:welcome2:

Good story G.

And Daniel, your California spiny lobster record still holds In my book swimming out to the reef alone at night is on par with Gerald's deed.

Quote from gerald

Yeah, I'm not sure I'll beat that lobster, even if I go to the Carolinas... Was a challenge catching it too, as he was about 20ft inside a narrow cave with no way to turn around... Took a few dives to gather the courage.

How do you get back out? pushing off with your hands? 20ft is a long way to go backwards, even if it's shallow. Was someone spotting you?

What a coincidence, Rolo and I were just talking about this song the other day.

Wow Tina Turner's voice sounds more raunchy than what I remember.

I hope she doesn't log on now to chastise me

The vests will sell for $60 and I'll have them in stock in about two weeks. Available colors are black, green camo, and brown camo.

I know the vests fit tight on the larger guys. The next batch will include a larger size.

Welcome again JC. Good peeps here. Now we just need Emil to post more often.

John, I think you were harsh on Rick on the snorkel thread. After all you're repeating information that you've heard, while guys like Rick and Red Tide have been diving for as along as I've been alive, and I think you and I are about the same age. Now I'm adamant about snorkel out for myself, but I wouldn't attack Rick over it. If you think about it, if you're diving within your safe limits, which you should be doing anyways, snorkel in is no longer a safety issue. Only when you're brainwashed into thinking that every dive must be done to your max, like competitive freedivers do that safety factors come into play. Even if you feel yourself approaching a danger point you can spit the snorkel out at any time as you're ascending. For me safety is a secondary factor when it comes to the snorkel in/out issue, as I don't want to put myself that close to the danger point in the first place. What remains is simply a matter of comfort while diving, and I can concede that someone else is more comfortable keeping the snorkel in their mouth, like sucking your thumb as Red Tide said.

Quote from Searen

And on this promotion thing, you can suck it there too. I don't make crap for money teaching freediving. I do it because I enjoy the excitment I receive from my students after they break mental barriers. I do it because everyone that leaves the course is a safer freediver when they leave and I know that I have made a huge impact on their lives as well as their families lives because I have dramaticly reduced there chances of death due to breath hold diving.

Ren, since you don't contribute anything else here, be aware that there's no paid advertising in this forum. The only people who promote their product here are ones that I've given permission to, you're not one of them.
