Hello there fellow DFO’er. Hope you’re well today. And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain. There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.
This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive [in bed].
Sir Walter Scott
This is when you don’t want to get up and just kinda lie there like a lump hoping that reality goes away and you can stay in bed.
As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.
Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.
Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.
Advice is not as entertaining as Hippos, but still a useful reminder for the long holiday weekend.

Somehow, it looks like Bengals @ Jaguars isn’t being flexed out of Monday Night Football. I wonder if one quarter of the Manningcast will be Payton and Eli reenacting the “Its not your fault” scene to Joe Burrow. Either that or Carson Palmer laughing his ass off and trash talking the Bengals and Brown family. That’ll be fun.

My wife just cleared the pantry. Pretty sure she just doesn’t want to look at dusty cans so will replace them each with a fresh one.

Going to SIL’s in Riverside for Thanksgiving. Good thing, because if we weren’t invited, we’d be having this
Gumbygirl
We usually do Thanksgiving at home but this year were invited to a formal Thanksgiving dinner at an honest-to-God mansion in the area of Connecticut people think about when they think about where rich people live in CT.
Mrs. Horatio and I are going, (the kids ditched us, and I frankly don’t blame them; had I known about the dress code from jump street I probably would have declined), because we do really like the people who invited us, and it clearly meant a lot to them.
That said, we pull into the (very long and definitely gated), driveway and see anything like this,
we are putting the car in reverse and getting the fuck out.
Unless there’s a selection of pies for dessert. I’m not a goddamn savage.

Or maybe there’s a few other reasons-
-created a foundation that encourages kids to finish high school
-created a reserve for bald eagles that wouldn’t survive in the wild
-donates books to kids in her county of birth to encourage them to read
-created a scholarship for 5 seniors every year at her old high school
-donated a million dollars to the Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt U
-donated another cool mill for Coronavirus research
-raised more than 13 mill to help survivors of flooding in Tennessee
-covers 100% of tuition for every employee of Dollywood that wants to further their education

I will say that today was one of the first times I wished I’d been able to have kids. The friend I came down with had the brewery’s owner’s disabled son fall asleep on his lap & I felt something I didn’t know my body possessed.

I mean, I’m not a monster. The kid can’t eat solid food, and has a colostomy bag in that backpack. Because he was the sweetest, and took everything in stride. I wish I had his confidence.

So I get to spend the night in the cruise ship hospital on oxygen just because I had some teeny tiny symptoms of decompression sickness after diving today. I already feel much better but oh well, at least I get dinner in bed. I wonder how much this is gonna cost though, don’t think Kaiser covers cruise ship oxygen
Doktor Zymm
I doubt Kaiser covers oxygen on dry land either.

he couldnt hold any dry land west of the rhine in 1918 as soon as the yanks showed up

Rumor is Corey Perry is about to become best friends with Zach Wilson
All I can think of now is all the your mom chirps by Shoresy.
FUCK YOU SHORESY
FOR WHAT?!
OK, Dunstan wins on timing, but I added a picture, so….
“Fuck you Reilly! Your mom squirted so hard last night she killed my fighting fish by upsetting the PH balance in his tank!!”
So for people who actually follow hockey…
Did this really happen? Not like Richard Gere/gerbil fun rumours. Like…really?
It’s been declared 100% false by hockey knowing people, but no one knows anything so let’s start an even stranger rumor.
I heard Corey Perry was let go because he kept a guy in his basement stripped naked and tied to a chair wearing a Gritty head and did weird sexual stuff to him.
I heard Corey Perry was let go because he peed in the owner’s Malort bottle and no one could tell but a month later they found the security footage.
The oxygen and cruise ship hospital stay was only 140 Euros which seems pretty decent. If I had opted to go for the optional (but recommended if I want to dive again) hyperbaric treatment it would have been $7k for the minimum 5 hour session, which coincidentally is exactly the deductible on my insurance plan. Add in transportation, hotel, and flight changes and I’m just gonna risk never being able to dive again. I’m going to get checked for a PFO before diving again anyway since this was my second time getting skin bends after totally normal, fairly conservative dives.
Yay… I think?
A safer option might be to take a submersible for your next exploring adventure. There’s a company called OceanGate that would help with at least some part of the dive.
https://www.reddit.com/r/IASIP/comments/14gdcl2/titan/
Definitely check it out. If you do have one knowing it will be important going forward as it’s sometimes an elevated stroke risk.
“I would take that risk”
-R. Kraft
I’m going to ask around the local diving community and try to find someone who has experience with it. I may have to wait to check it out until I get a new job and less crappy insurance
a buddy of mine is a commercial diver and runs a hyperbaric clinic up here. Don’t think they charge $7k, but I’m sure he’s be willing to charge that much as a favoUr to me.
Can also ask him what he recommends to do if you’d like.
Well, I’m already on my flight back, so no point after this unless I get new symptoms when I get home, but thanks for the offer!
The actual rate for the one in Belize is $1.4k/hr with a 5 hour minimum so the $7k was assuming the minimum since I would be going in with no symptoms more as a precaution. It would be interesting to know how the rates vary in different locations.
Commercial diving is intense. One of my dive instructors used to do underwater welding for oil rigs. The whole concept of underwater welding is just mind blowing
there are lots of pics hm training various peeps in the dead of winter with a fucking square cut into the ice to allow them to get into the water.
He does supervise dives in the Caribbean every February for one of the universities up here and their robotics program doing underwater stuff. He’s never taken me up on the offer to be a helper for the trip.
He’s also a lacrosse goalie, so the crazy thing with him is just assumed now.
Hm, good to know that the robot army will be arriving by sea and programmed with lacrosse skills at least. Won’t help us defeat them, but it’ll be really neat to watch the invasion
Try a safer kind of diving. A full twisting double with a pike!
Jesus Christ, one of the plot points in this movie centers around the sheik’s son having gone to Yale, and they’re doing the Yale fight song.
I notice that these Tarzan movies don’t have one of those “no animals were harmed in the making of this film.”
If they were honest there would be something like “Dude, we maimed so many fucking horses and killed at least 7 chimps while making this movie!”
I missed that Pistorius ankle bracelet joke. Damn, that’s gold.
Worst South African:

3) The “Diplomatic Immunity” guy from Lethal Weapon 2
Weird that both #1 and #3 killed a really hot chick.
You can’t convince me Space Karen hasn’t had dozens of attractive people disappeared.
I would very much like him to stay in the Middle East until he’s fragged.
#3 just died. According to his obituary he regretted that role because people would yell ‘diplomatic immunity’ at him all the time.
lol poor guy
The acting and writing in these old Tarzan movies is…something.
I dunno, Maureen O’Sullivan is coming out of that outfit, 1930’s style!
Johnny Weismuller. Yummy!

I’ve got TCM on in the background while working. Something about black-and-white movies that makes a good background without being too interruptive.
Anyway, they’re doing a Tarzan marathon today, and there’s an extra right now from the 1940’s in which they are extolling the virtues of the Republic of South Africa and let’s just say they are leaving more than a few things out. Yikes.
We are now discussing a monument to our very own Lord Cecil Rhodes!
