Fur Coats?

Closest was thing was one time off the continental shelf, about 100' down. Wasn't a Great White, only a 10' or so, but scared the living piss out me. I never thought a 10 footer was that big until I got to see him in his habitat. One thing that you never realize until you see them "live" is how fast they move. Unbelievable how fast they go with one sweep of the tail fin. Kind of ruined my dive. Spent the whole time down with my back against the shelf wall and being that nervous, couldn't keep track of my down time so I just surfaced.

Personally, IMO anyone who wants to go and pay money to feed sharks underwater is just plain stupid :hide:

Or were you talking about the band?:D

As for my wife, she is hard to pigeon hole into a neat little package like you seem to want to do. Yes, she was in the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority in college. She climbed mountains and has repelled down cliffs. She was also a double major Political Science & History and went on to earn an MBA. She also was R.O.T.C. trained on the M16 and she was a princess at the Indianapolis 500 and she and I sat on the "Winner's Circle" and took a few laps in the pace car too. So she is a beautiful woman, with brains, who can field strip an assault weapon. Any more questions?

Cool. But no fair! Skurka has everything!!
 
Really, I wouldn't of mentioned taking R.O.T.C in college and training on the M16. Heck, even those who get commissioned don't even admit to that:yum: Kind of like inflating your resume by saying you were a petroleum distribution engineer, AKA pumping gas (I only know that one because I pumped gas in high school and came up with that one myself:D)

I would also be willing to bet that Bob's wife would have no clue where to begin if a HK93 or MP5 where put in front of her let alone a mac10. I could be wrong of course.

That's a problem I have when I go for a job interview, I don't know how to sell myself.

Friends of mine own a 24 foot offshore fisherman center console. They were fishing about 30 miles off the Ma. coast last year when they encountered a Great White. They had just pulled up a couple of Haddock and saw this big grey thing swimming alongside the boat. It scared the living hell out of them. They said all they could think of was the Jaws movie and the fish chomping on the back of their boat. It ruined their day at that spot as they moved out of there quickly. They said it was a good 15 feet long.

Well if most people can figure that out, lets take a popular outdoor clothing brand manufacturer like Marmot. Don't own anything produced by that manufacturer, but since it seems so easy from your end, guess it wouldn't be a problem for you letting me in on what eco system that manufacturer has altered making their "fake fur". I still can't wait...:thumb:
Since it's so easy, you can just give me two examples on your own if you'd like.

READ DUDE!!!

I already did...So I will reprint it to help you out with "Fake Fur" added to point out the highlights...

__________________________________

Well that was Sarcasum, based on the view from the other side, but to make my point I will play the Devil's advicate.

First: Petrochemicals are what most synthetics are made from (AKA, Fake Fur), which is oil. Any of the Enviorwaco's will say that drilling for oil is distroying our enviorment (In the past that was true, which it isn't now) but that is their claim, so I will use that one... One only has to look here in Alaska at ANWR and see that oil is a bad name, because it is a "Wilderness" and can't be touched... That is a bunch of crap, but that is what they feed you guys in the Lower 48 states. The oil fields in Alaska are regulated so badly that if you spill a drop of oil, it could cost you your job. Anyway oil has had a bad name from the past which is not the present but they still beat that dead horse.... They claim Birds can't nest, Caribou can't have calves, wolves can't stalk the calves and other bunk...

Second: Cotton, peanuts, corn and other crops to farm where all the natural "Old Growth" had to be wiped out so they could be planted to make synthetic products (AKA, Fake Fur can be made from the oils) that are made from those crop's chemicals as well as food... Snakes and frogs can't live without the old Growth to hide in...

Third: Mining, hundreds of thousands of acres have been stripped mined to bring you the metals and chemicals to make a colored plastic zipper for your new Hitech coat zipper (for the Fake Fur)... Now the fuzzy rabbits have no place to hide and breed....

Fourth: Rubber trees are planted where jungle used to be, for the rubber and other products that are made from them (Byproducts are used in making Fake Fur)... Again, the forest is stripped clean to plant the trees and so forth...

Fifth: You should get the point by now.

uhm, no you didn't.

I'm asking for speciffics. You gave me generalizations (sp?).

Know what the difference is?

You mentioned "cotten, peanuts and corn". Ok, where at and who?

Not that I don't doubt you (becuase I agree with you), but I don't know the spefciffics and I was wondering if you could help me out. So far, you're not doing a great job.

How about a nice flow chart?

Well I couldn't either. I have no experience with those. Given time to study the guns I'm sure she could, not sure about me, however. But she can take down her shotguns and her .45acp pistols. Not sure what your attempted stereotyping has to do with FUR COATS.

BTW, I don't have a dive computer either. Not sure what that has to do with fur.

But I do find it interesting that you ask for 'specifics' from Fogtender while you bandy about with general stereotypes regarding my wife. Seems about as hypocritical as the Hollywood starlets who won't wear "fur" but slip on shearling boots while dangling a leather Dooney & Burke bag from their wrist while being interviewed about animal rights!

Yeah, kinda like your statement refering women that wear furs as "Rich Bitches"

You clearly can't see the forest because the stupid trees are in the way....

Can't help you...

Would you like the names of the girls:yum:

Still, my comment about "rich bitches" is an opinion. I thought I gave a couple of stories on how I formed my opinion.

YOU on the other hand are making a comment about somthing factual (or aren't you?) Which is it?

I understand if you can't help me, but at least try to help yourself, or do you need help even doing that?:thumb:
 
Rep points for you Bob for bagging such a high quality wife and having a Breitling watch. I bought a fake Breitling watch from a Turkish guy while I was in Iraq. I still want a real Breitling Rescue.

B_Skurka said:
I have several dive watches. My Breitling has a sharkskin strap that has been on the watch for several years and has been underwater in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean. If tanned properly it holds up very well. I also have dive watches with rubber straps, I don't like them as well as sharkskin.

As for my wife, she is hard to pigeon hole into a neat little package like you seem to want to do. Yes, she was in the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority in college. She climbed mountains and has repelled down cliffs. She was also a double major Political Science & History and went on to earn an MBA.

So is that a jab at officers in general or just ROTC commisions?

Just curious.

Sorry Bob, didn't know a shotgun or .45 was considered an "assault weapon".

Not general sterotypes Bob, just what I have dealt with personally, nothing more. Looking to verify if my hunch was right due to my personal experiences, nothing more. You verified what I thought.

I found it interesting that you needed to "brag" on your wife when all I asked was a simple yes or no question.

Reason why I ask about the dive computer is because since you have all of these dive watches I thought you were a diver (I'd find it hard to believe you'd have all those dive watches, but no computer if you dived).

Could you please explain to me again how I'm a hypocrite?

Sorry, find it amazing that you'd give rep points out for "bragging" and having material possesions (sp?).

Do you require a list of objects owned for rep points, or is there a certain dollar amount? I think I need some here:D

Do you sincerely think anyone here will tell you that they don't have a "high quality wife" here on this forum?

Come on, anyone here married to a two timing skank?

Nothing wrong with wearing fur. Personally I dont like the look of it fashion-wise. It looks a little 70's-ish to me. :rolleyes:
 
I'd like to nuzzle up with a woman in a fur, naked underneath of course.

I'd also brag about my wife if she could field strip a M-16, hunted with me and was a ROTC Gal and so on.

I will say that mine has a bachelors degree in business, owns her own business and is one hell of a cook and a sweetheart.

I don't think Bob was bragging. You have hounded him about his wife with the sororiety question and generally wanting to know what type of person she was. He gave you in great detail what kind of person his wife is and now then you were still able to find things to bash her over, ROTC. You cannot be satisfied.

I think I may go buy my wife a fur.

As for the Breitling watch. I am a gadget nut. When I first learned of the Breitling Rescue watch, I was amazed. I became a fan of Breitling watches. Do I own one? No, my regular everyday watch is a Casio Pathfinder Titanium. It's no Breitling, but it does give the temp, barometric pressure, and is a digital compass. Oh yea, it tells time. Told you I was a gadget nut. A friend of mine has a Rolex Submariner and when I know that I will be seeing him I wear my fake Rolex Submariner just as a jab. he knows it is all in fun.

First off, I don't care what type of person Bob's wife is, I only wanted to know if she was a member in a soriety. Is there anything else I asked him of her? Do I really care what type of person she is? Bob's married to her, I'm not.

After asking two times or so, I got an answer.

Do I get any rep points for anything I own?

Bob took care of me and my buddies in Iraq by sending care packages when I was in Iraq. I will help him out whenever I can.

That's nice. Hope he doesn't spend all those points in one place. :poke:

Seriously, glad you made it back safe, hopefully with all your appendages attached. :)

I never heard a officer bragging about taking R.O.T.C anywhere.

Perhaps West Point, but that's it.

Chances are good that Bob's wife only took R.O.T.C as an elective. Since Bob didn't go into details (such as where she took her actual military training) I really don't know.
