sad day

JO said it was smelly , ergo no chick appeal unless she fishes for a living and is named Thelma.

I saved for years just to buy a boat and now I don't have the heatlh to care for one.

it only smelled real bad that first year. i mean most boats have some sort of "smell" to them. it was college and we had a boat. even if you had a gf you could watch the scenery.

My next drink is dedicated to your boat. RIP.

thank you good sir. i hope you poured a couple drops out in the name of homies also...

I'll keep you and your boat in my prayers tonight.

thank you also good sir.

The end of an era, usually makes me realize how old I'm getting. I need a drink.

Ode to the Fishing Boat
When I was a young boy,
I met a girl,
along a nameless green canal.
The churning oil streaked water was lined with sand worn wooden planks and shacks.
Next to giant spools of drying grayed netting, I watched her in the water.
Her features were less then flattering.
She was awkward and her makeup was peeling.
But to me she was beautiful and she was forever.
I would stand next to her,
and watch the salmon flop down the man-made ladder falls,
while families walked by with their bounty of Carlson?s smoked fish and Leland candy.
Every year I would have to say goodbye,
but I swore I would be back, always.
And every year,
I return to the green canal next to the fishery,
and the first thing I look for is her.
She is always there; Lashed to a dock, bobbing up and down.
Empty of the morning catch, she rests.


Oh Boo Hoo Hoo

this was not fishing boat, you could ski behind it. granted i wouldnt say it was a "ski boat" either. ski boats are usually high dollar fancy spancy watercrafts, this was humble but pragmatic.

Ode to a boat by Best Buckeye;

Ahem ,

Boats of all kinds are bought by men
They really don't need a reason,
Could be for fishing or just for fun
Or even the mating season.

Just a space to be just men
And maybe to quaff a few,
Or a platform to swim in a pool
To impress and bang a Stew.

Boats plant their anchors into men's hearts
And keep them from tearing free,
With dogs and cars and bikes and pals
they are always a part of me.

Work and slave to keep them afloat
with many a mighty swear men rend,
And with the end of each scarred plank
boats take a part of me.

Thank yew , Thank yew. (Bow).

Boo hoo, my boat died.

At least you have no touch icing to wax poetic about.

Gag ! paleeze gag me. You call that an ode?

you can call it a boat as long as it floats.
but if it don't float then it 's no longer a boat
unless it's a submarine..

Take it out in your backyard, talk to it, recall great days, pet it, then put your 45 against the bow and put it out of its misery.

The boat is a good metaphor for learning. Once you have acquired the knowledge you can leave it at the shore and go forward.

well, yeah maybe...but more importantly, a boat is great for picking up girls.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Those others ought not joke around about a man's boat.

Au contraire, mon fraire! Mine is just a lil' ol' 155mm Paladin.
Behold, the 8 inch M110A2...such an accurate piece.

I was the motor officer and then HHC CO for a Battalion of 8" SPs, the ones mounted an M-60 hull. Unbelievable how accurate that beast was.

I presume the newer, longer versions and your 155s are even more accurate and have a higher rate of fire.
