USS Thresher (SSN 593).

Patrick: All of them sink. We prefer to be on the ones that come back up. That’s the big thing about skimmers (surface ships) – just doesn’t make sense to me to go out to sea on something that wasn’t designed to come back up again after it sinks….

Wasn’t there a film?

Most sub guys will prefer to be on one that doesn’t sink.

RM1, excuse my ignorance, but we submariners would prefer 594 because . . .?

As far as we submariners are concerned, it would be much better to be on the 594 than on the 593….

Never heard of pudgie pies? You haven’t lived until you’ve had a pudgie pie oozing with cherry pie filling. I think I’ve eaten at least 594 of them!

Keith, never heard of pudgy pies, but obviously they must be included.

Whatever list you guys are on has something to do with 594 men in little white coats. I’m on that list too. Where’s the campfire and s’mores? Anyone up for pudgy pies? I’m camping out.

I get that spam, too, Robin. Looks like we’re on the same list.

Eisha, crack. Me. Up.

Jen, my reaction exactly.

Thought you’d all appreciate this: lately one of the spams I’ve been getting–including for this post–says, “I couldn’t understand some parts of this article [spam portion], but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.”

For once that just might apply.
