man,what happened to the Evinrude thread?


one word. HARRY


Tim, ignore the spoofer. Notice he's talking about Harry, not Evinrude.
I don't care much for Harry, but he knows quite a bit about Evinrude.
Problem is when he says anything, he gets jumped on by the big ego guys
who can't just ignore him when he says something they don't like.
Which is all of the time, even if it's about boats.
Loogy and Scottty won't let a boat conversation happen.
Loogy will jump right in about the lobsterboat every time.
Scotty will say something like "Why hasn't Harry been killed?"
Then everybody is getting spoofed by the big egos who are after Harry,
so you don't even know who's who.
They just can't ignore him.
I'm about to give up. They even spoofed Richard.
Probably because he dares to talk to Harry.
Richard can handle Harry easily.
Ole Evinrude was a great American success story.
He's responsible for much of OB boat design because of his innovation
and drive.
Would somebody else have done it if he hadn't?
Who knows.
Thanks for the thread.
