HEY DOK, YOU FILTHY PERVERT!

[East Coast Hustle]

It occurs to me that sometime in the next 2 or 3 years our chief engineer is going to have had his fill of our shit and go retire to his cabin in the Maine woods with his still and his skeet pull. As this will probably happen at a time when your son is off in some sandy country and your daughter is in college...


I fucking INSIST that you apply for the position.

Seriously.

SOLD.  What are the job requirements?

[East Coast Hustle]

The ability to weld, the ability to jury-rig the fuck out of things, and the lack of a functioning moral compass.

They might want you to get your MMD card but as long as we're still flagged out of the Marshall Islands I don't think it's a strict legal requirement so they'd probably overlook it for someone skilled enough. Like I said, I imagine it's a few years off but as soon as I hear the first whispers of it I'll start putting the bug in peoples' ears that I know a guy.

It's probably a pay-cut from what you make now, but probably not a huge one. And you can always do it for a year or two just to do it and then go back to real life.

I can fix ANYTHING - especially on the electrical side -  but my welding sucks monkey balls.  I don't trust it to put in unistrut, let alone keep a ship afloat.

Well, that's why we have 3 engineers in the crew. And electrical genius is a HUGE asset.

Let me know.  I gotta get out of this fucking town.

If, however, I one day exit through the side of the hull, rocketing West, don't say I didn't warn you.

Of course, if I come back here in between trips, I'm not violating Conservation of Tucson.

I think Dok Howl should run for President instead.

Totally serious.

I'd vote for him!

I'd vote for him!

Oh, you DON'T want THAT.

Because I would cheerfully give The People everything they've been screeching for.

MY POINT EXACTLY!!!!

It's the ultimate troll!!

It's OPERATION MINDFUCK GONE GLOBAL BABY!

Global?

No.

Just here.  Just giving people what they want until they can't stop screaming.

With that much at your disposal, you wouldn't have a few GASMs that cross the ocean?

There is always Providence, that is, if you can handle the nature.

No.  The monkeys here would keep me occupied.  301,000,000 idiots is more than enough for any leader to manage.  And by manage, I mean torment them with their own ideas until either they kill me, or I kill all of them.

You want "security"?  Oh, I can DO that.  You want to teach criminals a lesson?  I am ON it...Just remember that speeding and jaywalking, etc, are crimes.  You want the trappings of empire at the cost of the health of our society?  Gotcher legions right here.  You want to torture smudgy people, because of 911/WMDs/whatever?  I am an equal opportunity Torquemada...EVERYONE gets some.

Yeah, I can do that job.

No, you have way too much of it.  The ocean, as the band America put it, is a desert with its life underground.  I can manage that.

Dok is just what Maine needs.  Even if he is just off the coast of Maine.  I fully endorse this career planning.
