Is the biscotti for sounding?

EDIT: But yeah, I also consider the obsession with bleaching teeth to fall under the same umbrella. Normal healthy teeth aren't actually white.

Are SWIFT drivers really that bad? I figure they're pretty universally loathed. When I worked for the travelling magic and tiger show I rode in the big truck a few times and Easymoney (the driver, he didn't ever give us his actual name) would always point out SWIFT trucks and yell, "It stands for Sure Wish I'd Finished Training!" That joke got real fuckin old but it still goes through my head any time I see a SWIFT trailer.

Basically a force generated by virtue of architecture that can keep a body in constant submerged spin cycle until there's not enough water flowing to let it work loose.

In good conditions, you won't work loose for like, a week solid.


The rule is "inner side goes down, outer side goes up", far as I know. It's about priority of evacuation, and it applies to either clockwise or counterclockwise staircases naturally.

Oh hang on there buddy! This is the OSHA thread and just offhand comment 'tiger show' and your story is about SWIFT? I'm sure you have some tiger stories to share!

But aren't Capeships still biggest and New Panamax is just to maximise size after the expansion of the Panama canal? Been a few years since I was on the big haulers (I only dealt with Handymax, Panamax and Capeships), so I am probably wrong.

For whatever reason these came up when I was chatting with my dad recently and he told me about the time he got caught in one as a young man. Somewhat sobering to realise I might never have been born if he hadn't been able to escape. He tumbled over a few times until he was able to contact the bottom and kick his way out.

I thought we already talked about the tiger and magic show in this thread?

Short version: I worked for a travelling exotic animal and magic show and when we weren't touring I worked at the exotic animal park owned by a man named Joe Exotic. He ran for president last year. The work conditions were inhumane and they treated their employees (a mixture of fresh out of high school kids and illegal immigrants) like complete poo poo. I once saw a man severely beaten by a kangaroo. I swear we talked about this in the thread?

Edit: I just checked and it was apparently another thread where I discussed the magical mystery tiger tour.

You can't tell from the video, but this actually spans two days and in total three people died:

http://www.pressconnects.com/story/news/public-safety/2015/09/29/40-years-later-drowned-firefighters-honored/72989294/

quote:

Durkan, a fellow firefighter and the second rafter broke free from the backwash, but firefighter Russell drowned.

The next day, on Sept. 29, 1975, Cox, McGeever and Lt. Robert Dale returned to the river in an attempt to recover Russell’s body. As they approached the dam, their boat overturned and the men slipped below the surface.

Another rescue boat carrying Broome County Sheriff's Sgt. Beverly Tripp and Deputy Donald Stark was launched after them, but that also capsized. After a struggle in the raging water, Tripp, Stark and Dale were pulled out to safety — but Cox and McGeever drowned.

It's like the water version of hearing about people dying in methane pits. The real tragedy is the initial 'rescue' attempt was just to recover a dead body. :/

quote:

Charity shop worker Simon Burgess, 41, of Burnhams Walk, Gosport, was found floating in the shallow lake at nearby Walpole Park in March 2011.

Coroner David Horsley recorded a verdict of accidental death.

Firefighters and police defended their decision not to enter the lake, instead waiting for specialist crews to arrive.

...

The inquest was told that firefighters arrived at the scene within five minutes of a 999 call.

PC Tony Jones volunteered to wade into the lake but was told not to by his control room and by Hampshire Fire and Rescue watch manager Tony Nicholls, who concluded that Mr Burgess had died.

The court was told that Mr Nicholls was following a force policy not to enter water more than "half a boot" deep unless it was a life-critical situation.
