Introduction

================

Going to kill someone… This internet thing is ridiculous. Did you know that it’s World-Wide? Isn’t that nuts? I’ve spent all of this week working on my website. Which is still not up. I can’t figure out how to get the links to work or the pictures to… hold on, I’m getting ahead of myself. First, the SCUBA story.

The ‘U’ in SCUBA

In a recent issue of the Pix Capacitor, some unscrupulous editor printed how he and his friends drove by an old friend’s house and Toilet Papered her car for no reason whatsoever. In case you’re wondering, her name is ****** *** **** and her cell phone number is (***) *** ****.

For some reason, my two friends got mad at me for printing this information, and they forbade me to mention another mildly illegal activity that we did just two days later.

But… the way I figure it, as long as the people affected don’t find out, we’re okay, right? …Remember, (***) *** ****.

When firefighters go into a fire, they have tanks called Self Contained Breathing Apparati that breathe for them–not because they’re lazy, just because it’s safer than having them breathe smoke-infested air.

When SCUBA divers go into water, they have tanks called Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparati that breathe for them too.

Well, the thing about being a volunteer firefighter is that we have access to all of their equipment. Assuming, of course, that it’s purely for entertainment purposes. And believe me: converting an SCBA into SCUBA is pure entertainment.

For legal reasons, right now I must say that not only was this not my idea, but I didn’t even know about it until my friends showed up at my house asking to use my pool.

What followed after was a series of trial and error experiments. The masks–for some reason–weren’t made to go underwater (pfft!), so we had to jimmy-rig them to make them work. When I say ‘we’ I mean ‘my friends.’ Also, having a huge tank on their back somehow forced them to float. They had to tie blocks of concrete to themselves in order to fully sink.

What can I say? We are stupid. I mean, my friends are stupid.

Hilarious, fun, and entertaining, but quite stupidly so.

Websiting Woes

I was hoping to debut my website today, but apparently, like Graphic Design and Biochemistry, it’s a lot more difficult to make a website than I had previously assumed. Who knew that there was a difference between .htm and .html? And if .html is hyper text markup language, what the fishizzle is .htm?

Oi. Headaches. Still though. Soon, you’ll get to visit my website in full glory. Soon…

A Small Quiz:

Congrat’s to my good friend Animal who, although he responded to and older set of questions, actually responded. He gets a free Pix Capacitor for that. But, since everybody got his reply, I don’t see why I need to type it again. Thus, I’ll just go on to this week’s questions:

This Week’s Questions:

1: My friends are going to prank call ******* today (*** *** ****), are you?

2: I have an idea of what .htm might stand for, but I doubt they’d use that many bad words…

3: Is SCUBA diving in a pool cool or just sort of sad? Please tell me, I don’t know.

To be removed from this list, send an e-mail to indepen-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com… Wow. I’m legit now.

But… you probably shouldn’t unsubscribe. In fact, I recommend clicking indepen-subscribe@yahoogroups.com immediately after that.
