That's cool where did he see that and how did he get so close?

I believe this was near Myrtle Beach, SC. He has a great way with animals. Just loves them and they love him. He has a great picture of a whale shark too and a couple of some manatees I think. He scuba dives all over the world. Pretty much all he does for a hobby.Kingsmith88;4607740 said:
EDIT...it was not my friend, but wow do they look alike.

Really cute, Hos! Apparently your friend found an orphaned baby calf. What a great full-time hobby to have. Somebody posted multiple pictures online (BuzzFeed.com) of him swimming next to it, holding and feeding it. Note said he found it near Montevideo city, Uruguay.Hostile;4607748 said:

A baby dolphin with its umbilical cord still attached was found beached near Montevideo city, Uruguay. Luckily, a rescue organization got involved and and has been nursing the little guy back to health.

That was very sad to read. From the story you linked:Kingsmith88;4607777 said:
Last November, [Director Richard Tesore] and the team of SOS Rescate volunteers rescued an injured 10-day-old La Plata dolphin.
“Nipper,” as the baby dolphin came to be known, died of hyperthermia a couple weeks after being rescued.

Wow, that is not my friend after all. He looks so much like Scott it is scary.

My sincere apologies. It was on his page and he does indeed scuba dive all over. I assumed it was him. His last trip was I think to Myrtle Beach and that is why I mentioned it but I was only guessing.
Sad to read that it died.

No apologies necessary. Honest mistake, looking at the two images. Strong resemblance, Hos... with the hairline and facial hair. Wow. Makes sense you'd have connected the dots to Myrtle Beach the way you did.Hostile;4607791 said:
Tell your friend, Scott, you found his living doppleganger, if he doesn't already know. Scary is right.

I bet. You strike me as a perfectionist, wanting to keep all facts straight and truthful. I know the quality... in my case, disease... well. LOL.Hostile;4607798 said:

I'm talking about the fall out from my detractors. Little mistakes become huge issues. Like I said, honest mistake, but I guarantee it is not to them already.wittenacious;4607803 said:I bet.

Yeah I could see how you could make the mistake, if your friend posted the picture on his site and mentioned the umbilical chord was still attached.
They are damn near twins.

I can only BEGIN to imagine.Hostile;4607804 said:
Started what I thought was a harmless, lighthearted thread a week or two back. Made an innocent, offhanded remark, both in the title and my post, commenting how I thought a Minicamp photo of Barry Church hit me as him bearing a striking resemblance to Ray Lewis. Never saw you comment so I don't know if you saw it. Anyway, the thread became a total debacle by the time it died out.
Accusations of racism... "All blacks look alike to some [of us]" and "Offensive stuff like this must be stamped out" sorta stuff. The accusers were few, but committed. The two or three had a profound effect on the course of the thread. WoodysGirl and so many others saw it for what it was and did their best to stem the tide. The few wouldn't be dissuaded, until virtually told to tone it down/ knock it off near the very end.
So, again, I can only try to imagine what you've had to deal with, given all the years you've posted and moderated here. I've just begun taking slings and arrows... hell, I'm a neophyte, by comparison. LOL.
I even mentally winced when typing that I thought your friend, Scott, bore a strong resemblance to Doctor Richard Tesore... a Pavlovian response to that distinctly negative memory. But I decided, WTH, I never meant any harm before... don't mean any now... so I wrote what I thought.
Sucks to have to fight battles here over some of the most seemingly trivial of opinions given, turned into offenses chosen to be taken by others. Not saying their feelings are trivial... well, honest feelings expressed aren't... but a big deal made without looking to find common ground sure can be.
And not just here. [/rant]
