Bash, you be Da Man, keep up the good work! It was fun to get to talk to you guys the past two nights.

August 26th, 2008 at 2:08 pmWith any luck, I’ll be there. Tomorrow is out because I’ll be tending bar for that sorority toga party. I love you all but ….yeah….
August 26th, 2008 at 2:14 pmheh heh…

I’ve been wanting to ask you to post that anecdote again about your experiences on a Russian boat. You were transferring between ships and were confined in a basket swinging over the ocean with a Russian officer. Silver Fox wants to read it. (The spaminator has been gobbling up my posts since last night so we’ll see if this gets through.)
August 26th, 2008 at 3:05 pmVery cool - I’m gonna spread the GREAT NEWS “ANOTHER SHOW TONIGHT”
August 26th, 2008 at 3:30 pmGosh, that’s a long story and it takes time to set up. Maybe I can find it in an archive search and post a link.
It’s just one among the many reasons I’m not like other marine biologists. I genuinely despise the KGB-types and they have given me many reasons, over the years. One of my favorite deckmates on that particular Soviet ship was killed, in part because of our own “First Officer” (not the same guy; that other guy was a higher ranking visitor). They were pulling in a net full of fish and the steel cable parted, getting him in the head (their hard hats were crap; flimsy plastic). We tried to keep him alive and I tried to get permission to Radio Juneau and get a Coast Guard medevac, but the First Asshole wouldn’t allow me to, being more concerned about the propoganda implications of the US helping a Soviet sailor.
We were great friends, the deck crew I. They ’stole’ all of my cassettes and I’m inclined to believe I was partially reponsible for the Russian taste for Heavy Metal, after those tapes got copied a million times (this was back in the early 80s). On my last day, as they tried to off load me to a Portguese boat for the run to Alaska, I made a final “fuck you” gesture to the First Officer and got a standing ovation from the deck mates, getting to watch his impotent fury as we eased away. But, that’s another story.
I know the Russians look bad, right now, but that’s because of the KGB scum.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:35 pmChris:
LOL. We could swap similar stories.
Swinging in a basket over the ocean (as billie puts it) is the only place you’re not being overheard: no listening devices. Americans sometimes arrange to be together during those basket transfers. If you get my drift.
August 26th, 2008 at 4:32 pmChris:
Thanks for responding so soon. We could probably publish a book called “Tales from the Dollard Nation’s Dark Side.”
Sorry about your friend. What a loss. I’ve always tried to differentiate between the Russian people and the Russian government. However, as of a few years ago, most of the Russian media have been instructed to portray the U.S. as an enemy again. If a person swallows enough propaganda, it can be hard to cut through the b.s.
August 26th, 2008 at 4:37 pmChris:
I was going to post your above-mentioned stories on the Russian/Georgi thread, but I don’t want to take any liberties. I don’t think the staff would mind. Not everyone has the time to pull up every page on this site. And the Russia/Georgia thread is going to be around longer.
August 26th, 2008 at 4:58 pmI am very intrigued by your story. What kind of vessel were you on that they transferred people between ships underway via cables & baskets? Fucking insanity! LOL.
Case in point being your friend who got hit with the parting cable.
In the Coast Guard we never ever transferred people, or anything, between ships via cables and baskets. You either did it with helicopter or lowered a small boat.
That’s not to say that it never happens, we trained for it, but it was usually to be utilized in times of emergency, during war etc…
The only times we ever transferred shit between ships using bolo lines to string cables and use baskets was during war games (REFTRA) with the Navy resupply ship, I think it was called the Willamette, to tranfer supplies. It was training to resupply a ship while underway without having to pull into a port, including fuel lines and foodstuffs. I know there was the capability of transferring personnel, but it was dangerous, and not the first choice…
Way too fukn dangerous. Then again different organizations have diferent methods.
What kind of ships were you transferring between?
Fukn Russians, man…thinking of the 378 Coast Guard Cutter (exact type of ship I was on)maybe being a target for the Russians is just blood-boiling. We were constantly searching for, skirting around, sneaking by, spying on, and laughing at the Russians up in the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska in the early 80’s…it would really fuck with me if the Dallas got attacked.
BTW, I love Jennifer Griffin on Fox News, but she keeps saying USS Dallas, LOL…
August 26th, 2008 at 5:01 pmBash:
Hope you don’t mind me getting in on this.
It’s true that the basket conveyance method is used mostly for transferring mail, food, etc. between ships. The U.S. military has been known to use this method, though. It is VERY dangerous. As you know, if the two ships start rocking and rolling (in opposite directions), the cable can snap.
Sometimes there is no other way to transfer people between ships when one’s tour of duty is up but the ship isn’t scheduled to go to shore.
August 26th, 2008 at 6:25 pmBash:
I forgot to add that the Ruskies, who have no regard for human life, have been known to utilize the basket method as a matter of course, whereas the U.S. military does so only once in a great while.
August 26th, 2008 at 6:27 pmIt’s all good to go!
August 26th, 2008 at 6:30 pmbillie, that’s fine with me; I couldn’t find it in an archive search and it’s a long story to re-type.
Silver Fox, to me that only makes sense if you were once a FFO. ?
Bash, I was on (rough English) Moo-eece Yegorova, a 300-foot Soviet factory ship. We did basket transfers, up by the Pribiloffs, in glassy-smooth seas. I finished my tour, well South of there, in open water, and they cabled by gear (around 200#) over to an 80 foot trawler that had a deck @ 10 feet above the water. Just crushed my gear against the side of the trawler, as it rose on a wave. As you know seas can get well above 40 feet in those waters, and that day they were easily @ 20 feet.
I watched them crush my gear and knew I was next, so I waved to the Captain (a good guy), looked the First Officer in the eye, then stepped off the side of the ship. Everybody went nuts, going into a man-overboard drill, but my buddies on the deck crew could look over the side and see I had landed on this massive fender (Maybe 10 feet in diameter) they had chained to the side, maybe 15 feet below the deck. They caught on to what I was going to do and tossed me souvenirs they were gonna give me before they fastened me to the cable. I waited, timed it, then when the Portugese boat rose and leaned towards the ship, I stepped over onto the bow rail. When we leaned away from the ship and I was visible to the Captain, I waved to him and flipped off the First Officer. Very stupid thing to do, but I was 23 and immortal. The crew sure appreciated it, as I had saved them a tremendous amount of work/worry.
Bash is right: this is very dangerous…don’t try this at home! (as a licensed Captain, I’m embarrased to admit I did such a foolish thing, but we were all 23, once)
August 26th, 2008 at 7:00 pm45 min past the supposed start of tonight’s JH, and no joy. Wassup?
August 26th, 2008 at 7:47 pmHuh. I responded to billie, Silver Fox, and Bash, but it disappeared. Tried to listen to BTR and it’s New And Improved, but kept kicking me off when I tried to register or log in. This calls for a
and another try.
August 26th, 2008 at 8:03 pmChris:
Don’t feel bad. I understand there’s a chat going’ on but I can’t find it. Normally, it pulls right up.
August 26th, 2008 at 8:08 pmChris:
Testing, testing. I think the spaminator is in overdrive again. It was gobbling up comments last night during the radio show, too….I don’t need to log in to hear the radio program. It starts almost automatically. However, the program won’t download onto my system until about 45 min. after it’s over. Can’t explain it as I’m not the most computer literate person on the planet….Couldn’t pull up the chat tonight.
August 26th, 2008 at 8:27 pmGreat Show! Thanks again.
August 26th, 2008 at 8:31 pmReally enjoyed the show tonight!
August 26th, 2008 at 8:36 pmWell, some people heard it. All I got was a repeated shout out to the people in Humboldt. It’s late, back East. Goodnight, people in Humboldt.
August 26th, 2008 at 8:53 pmTo answer your question: Salute the panther.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:02 pmgreat show tonight! now im off to bed
August 26th, 2008 at 9:12 pmEnjoyed the show, and benefited from the wisdom, as always!
August 26th, 2008 at 10:07 pmCHRIS:
My above comment was for you.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:19 pmLove. This. Show. Can’t wait to call in tonite: Bill Clinton is mad because his 30 minutes speech won’t be aired during the primo viewing hour. Wonder if he will wear Gitmo Orange?
So far McCain has been getting a better bump from the DNC than Obama ROFLMAO
I think the new slogan for this event should be:
NoBama NoBiden NoBump
Cya Tonite!!
