bilge rat, you need to introduce yourself to labomba. the two of you can
sling b/s stories way over the top.

won't be long until you are telling about the night you screwed six virgins,
including three of the five svenssen sisters, while you worked days as a
cropduster just before you became general of the mercenary strike force used in
a certain south american country, later putting out oil well fires.

-Trust me Bilge ...... having laughed through many a "Doodles" rant on
subjects nautical, I still find it hard to imagine him holding down a "BR"
position.On the one or two trips where he may have gotten out of sight of
land,
he MAY have been onboard as ballast or "Norwegian Steam", but that's all.-

Bilge- jaxashby as a "fart-chaser"? Hmmm, maybe that's what his Staten Island
ferry gig is leading up to...a promotion to inventorying other guys' "pecker
tracks".

Reading what passes for his posts, I think I know now what happens when guys
fall asleep in the paint locker.

- Doodles (jaxass) reminds me of my dear, departed, dingbat, aunt, who was
appalled that I would choose to go to sea in "filthy" Merchant ships rather
than in some nice clean Naval ship.
Like my aunt, Doodles, wouldn't know a Merchant ship from a "choo choo
twain".-otnmbrd

Bilge- "But Auntie...I have a toilet of me very own on that ship".

During the run up to Desert Storm, I was on the SS Wright, and for a while,
we
were the only civilian ship on the Mina Sulman pier in Bahrein.(Saudi Las
Vegas).

As one would expect, everyone with grease under their fingernails started
"horse-trading". Occassionally we'd get Navy-type "guttersnipes",(I think
that's the term for 'em in Navy vernacular), drop in on our engine room.

There was ALWAYS two reactions you'd get:

1- God...this place is filthy!

and

2-Where the hell IS everybody?

This was especially the case if the swabbies were from the USS LaSalle,
(Persian Gulf Command Ship). One of 'em asked about it once, and after I had
explained the theory and practice of Overtime, and it's effect on Manning
Scale, they seemed to get the picture.
