Default Boat rescue story, peculiar vessel name in light of our cold snap.

Where did the phrase " Three sheets in the wind" come about to describe
when somebody is liqueredup?

You know the sad thing about this?

I read Chuck's post and now I can't get the Sha Na Na version of the
tune out of my head...

DAMN YOU CHUCK - DAMN YOU TO...etc., etc., etc....

Now for a little trivia:

A blue moon is the third full moon when four full moons occur in one
season of the year. Hence "once in a blue moon" meaning any event
will happen almost never.

This concludes the celestial navigation portion of this post.
