What's your beef Neal? Skip is paying for it, he can use it as he sees
fit. You're just jealous because you can't afford it, and if you did
scrape up enough quarters that dropped on the sidewalk from people who
missed the parking meter slot, it wouldn't look to impressive as you
traveled a quarter of mile either way from your shanty pushing your
shopping cart.


Sure he can use it as he sees fit. I agree with you. But, I'm not the least
bit concerned about the fact that he's using it. I'm laughing at him because
he's using it on the interstate highway as if to say, "Hey, look at meeeeee!
I'm so cool. I'm so important that everybody in the world needs to know my
whereabouts even when I'm just doing something common, ordinary and lubberly
like driving on the interstate highway!"

Skippy and Bruce at the Bangkok dock must be brothers. Both are wannabe
sailors who can't shut their pieholes and every time they open them they
show the world that they are anything but sailors. Bruce has been a
backwater dock dweller for thirty years. He and his derelict sailboat are
both old, feeble and useless. Even his knowledge about sailing is outdated
by virtue of the fact that he's not sailed anywhere for thirty years. Little
day trips in his motorboat don't count.

Skippy is at least sailing but he has in common with Bruce the fact that
he's on the other end of the spectrum. While Bruce is a washed up has-been,
Skippy is an aspiring wanna-be. But they both go around proudly and
arrogantly yelling, "Hey, lookit meeeeee!" Silly little egotists!

Sadly, though, Bruce is about half as bright as Skippy. Bruce compares me,
Wilbur Hubbard, to his five-year-old granddaughter while he, himself, runs
around like a five-year-old in a kindergarten playground doing something of
no great note while yelling, "Hey, lookit meeeeeee!"

Then you, who views these two Rubes as heroes, have the nerve to say PKB to
me when PKB clearly applies to Bruce and Skippy 100%. So sad your failure to
see reality.

I don't brag about my many outstanding voyaging accomplishments.
