Bubba and Clem are very excited about attending theys first DEMA show way over in New Awrlenes. DEMA stands fer Dive Equipment Marketing Association. They are gonna get to meet all kinda new folks and some of they old friends too.

Clem rung up theys friend in Sorysota, FL, and axed him ifin he was a going to the show. He said heck yes him and hissen son along with one of hissen pretty instructor womens was a going and they had to change Delta planes in Atlanta. Clem said he would call up Delta Air Plane Company and get on the same plane with them, cept in first class, of course.

Bubba is so excited that he goes to the mall over at Lenox Square and buys him a heap of new clothes. He gets a real nice new suit to wear to the SS and I cocktail party where theys friend from Sorysota, FL, son is a getting the SSI Platinum Pro 5000 award for having made 5000 dives. He gotted him some new cowboy boots too, they brand new kind what is made of the hide of a polecat. Clem gets fitted for sum new stuff too. Our heroes want to look sharp in front of the hole dive kingdom

They went over to Barney's and Gnobles book selling store and purchased a guide book about New Awrlenes. Bubba had heard that it is a pretty wild city with some trashy womens and a bunch of crimes too. Bubba ain't the leastest bit a scared. He gonna learn up on sum history and some of the sights to peek at. He don't want to be like a dumb yankee tourist type person.

They don't got a clue what to do at the show causen the guide book shows it so dog on big. They do have to go see theys friend from Sorysota, FL, give a talk on the "Internet and diving". Ought to be good since he is such a slick talker, he should have be'd a yankee carpetbagger.

Theys also knowed that theys gonna ate sum of them Cajun feeds like craydads other such goodies. They heared of a joint over by the big river on Decatur Street where ya can get hot chocolate milk and sum little donuts covered in powdered sugar a called beignets. The place is a called Cafe de Monde and its open all night every day of the year. Bubba is mad that they don't take no credit cards. Jimmy Buffet even sings about it. Clem tells Bubba to be careful of getting all that powdered sugar all over him.

Bubba ain't reel sure that he gonna like them Cajun feedings so he gonna visit his favorite eating joint, The Varsity, and load up on chili dawgs to fetch along with them. Them Sorysota, FL, folks love them greasy delights too. Clem tells Bubba that the "original" Popeye's Fried Chicken is there on Canal Street right near the Holidays Out, wheres theys all a staying.

Its gonna be great to see theys friends from Alabamer, Greg Ogle and Jack Flounders as well as the folks from Belize, Cozumel, Florida and sum of theys PADI friends.

Clem rung up his yeller bikini string thang yankee friend and axed her to come along to the show, but she was too busy to go. Clem is reel disappointed. Bubba invited his friend from hissen and Clem's ID and C, that Instructor woman from Pittsburgh and she said she love to go and would meet them at the airport in New Awrlenes. Theys gonna have em sum kinda fun.

Clem gets out his lap sittin computer with all them fancy thangs on it and opens up that spread out sheet thing called x-el and starts to ciphering up sum orders. Theys got a budget of $432,851.08 to buy dive stuff. Bubba gonna make the Mares folks, the PADI folks reel happy. He ain't gonna spen near as much with them SeaQuest folks causen theys don't go to the show and he don't like that.

Bubba just can't wait to get to that there DEMA show. He wonders if a heap of them know it all computer diver peoples will be there. He doubts it, theys mostly all talk anyways.
