I always thought jps was HK but will give him/her the benefit of

that I tried to discourage him/her due to said truce.

No you are most certainly not Toots Sweet. I am Toots Sweet.

I could be you if I wanted to.

However, allow me to introduce myself. I am Sean "Toots" Flanagan -
Son of The Sod immigrating here when I was but a wee lad at 5 years
old to use the hoary vernacular. While I largely keep to myself
nowadays since my dear bride Emma (40 years of blessed marriage) died,
I have been slowly reintroducing myself into polite society as time
and obligations permit.

I am a bartender by trade, a philosopher by training and own two
resturant/pubs in a major East Coast metropolitan area which are very
successful due to hard work and long hours. I enjoy cruising and
sailing. I recently sold my two boats, a forty eight foot Hatteras
and a 56 foot Mason Yachts cutter and purchased a thirty six foot
Zimmerman Marine cruiser in which I plan to enjoy the islands of the
Carribean with my last years on this Earth. My sons and daughter are
handling the business

Which is why I'm here. One of the participants in this newsgroup (who
shall remain nameless for obvious reasons) mentioned that there was a
chap here who owned a similar boat to my Zimmerman and maybe we could
discuss the similarities and differences between boats as Zimmerman
Yachts are generally custom built to specification. As of yet, I have
not seen much in the way of boating posts and I'm still not aware of
who owns the Zimmerman because after taking the lay of the land by
observation for a few weeks, it became apparent that this is not a
"boating" group at all, but a place for rancourous political
discourse. Being libertarian by nature (and most likely heritage) I
had to join the fray by tickling the sensitivities of the left wing
pseudo revolutionaries that seem to infest most on-line forums now.
It's our nature as Irishmen to argue over anything at any time - one
might almost think we are really Italians.


I thought you looked libertarian. Where did you go for your training
in philosophy?

Sorry to hear about your bride, btw.



The wind blew, the crap flew, and all of it stuck to you.
You've been punked.
