This is from a ways back but I want to make sure that we notice that there are not two or three but five different types of flamethrowers, all of which are standard issue for a paramilitary underwater police force. This is all like if Tom Clancy had a really bad stroke.

Before SEA PATROL became official, one of their first vigilante acts was burning up with a flamethrower a bunch of gypsies who were hanging out on the docks. Maybe they thought that went very well and they should go all-in on flamethrowers.

quote:

I and some of us were also in a docks security callout squad, where we learned to be hard efficient thugs when sorting out such nuisances as tinkers and gipsies and vagrants that intrude to steal or sleep in odd corners, and freelance press telling lies to get in and wasting people's time being nosy to get copy to sell. One day after the police and the council kept making excuses and doing nothing, we flamethrowered out a large tinker camp on waste ground behind the docks, and the thieves fled leaving all their vehicles and never came back: 15-foot propane flames worked much better than paper court writs. Police usually merely tell them off for being naughty, and "turning the other cheek" and "good advice" accomplish nothing.

It raises a valid point, why the gently caress does an organization ostensibly organized to murder people protect valuable resources such as shipwrecks and clams underwater put so much of their emphasis on flame/propane/Oxyhydrogen throwers? Like, how is THAT the kind of thing you want to spend so much time jerking your dick to imagining yourself using when you're underwater?

Within the reality that crazy SEA PATROL world operates in I understand the ScubaSucker 9000 and the warnings of its on-board destructor. The magnetic nail guns are a little on the bizarre side cause why the gently caress would you shoot nails and not flechette or sabot rounds but whatever, probably held a nail gun once as a kid before dad caught him and whipped is rear end so now it's a fetish for him. Even the rayguns I kinda understand because who knows maybe that poo poo works underwater and homeboy here obviously gets rock hard in the pants thinking about them.

But how do you construct a hosed up fantasy reality that makes a flamethrower the best thing to use underwater?

I've probably just thought harder about this guy's spank bank material than he does. I'll never think about it as long though so whatever.

This is a possible near future or "alternate time line". All diving has been put under a tight naval / industrial control. Enforcing this is one of the duties of the inshore branches of the Sea Patrol. If you don't want this sort of thing to become reality, watch out for authoritarianism and officialdom creeping up on your favourite hobby.
It's a "parody" but I guarantee you it's a parody born out of this guy doing something either illegal, dangerously negligent, or just downright creepy while diving recreationally and getting banned from diving for some reason.

I love how this dude articulates himself. It's extremely precise but only about worthless details, and has a kind of byzantine rhythm. Sort of reminds me of a metal gear villain, something's been lost in translation... I highly urge everyone to read the main linked site.

Mr. Appleyard posted:

'Ten-shun properly! I'll not let licenced divers get casual. And, you called `Timmo': Don't swallow! Take your mask and hood off! Don't swallow!".

`Timmo' obeyed. Even for a licenced diver, being interrogated by the Sea Patrol is not to be treated casually.

"Face me and open your mouth full wide. Don't swallow!".

`Timmo' obeyed.

"Tongue to the left and up as far as it can go. Don't swallow!".

The tongue went over, but rather awkwardly.

"Tongue back to the right, in one go, and right up. Don't swallow!".

The tongue movement was again awkward, as if it was trying to drag something along with it.

"Back to the left, twice as fast. Don't swallow!".

During the movement, the sergeant suddenly produced a blunt forceps from inside his right sleeve and quickly jabbed inside with it. Timmo said "ow!" as the forceps caught flesh as they dragged something out.

"What's this?!" the sergeant asked.

"It's a dental work fitting that just came loose." Timmo said nervously.

"What's this?!" the sergeant asked.

"It's a lozenge that the doctor told me to keep in my mouth. I've got a condition.".

"What's this?!" the sergeant asked.

"It's - chewing gum." Timmo said, admitting defeat.

"You weren't trying to fight that slovenly mouth habit and you thought you could get away with it."

[...]

Our suction-dredger-sub Dev-Null went over a flat bottom past a rough concrete dock wall to the echoes. They were two men with sport-type air scuba and no sonar transponders. Above his rounded-cylindrical bulk his suction tube aimed and untelescoped as he routinely sucked them up without slowing. In a work cavity connected to his dredgings tank they proved to be the same two men who were chased away the day before. Interrogation found only that they were Donald Duck and Scrooge MacDuck and lived at Pondville. Dev-Null's sentient computer brain's attitude to matters was a rough waterfront mixture of dredger-skipper and naval officer, and for some time he had been out of patience with endless variations of that line of sillyness from interrogated suspects.

I love how he goes from definitely jerking it (and not casually) to Dev-Null, the sentient suction-sub.

I think it's more like he gets really upset about his fellow diver people who DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES and YOU'RE RUINING IT FOR EVERYONE and THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES.

Like, he doesn't WANT the Sea Patrol to have to murder everyone who dives without a permit but if that's what it comes to...

That or he has no idea how to write satire at all.

I was thinking the same thing but you're right he is too buttoned down for 80's hair metal.



I kinda think it would sound like a sinister version of the Thomas the tank engine theme song.

I also don't know why the gif quality is so weird, might be the water texture taking up a ton of colors.
