I'll be back. Things have been really busy of late.

I did hear that Bolger designed a boat with a prismatic coefficient of
1.2.
It supposedly doubles as its own shipping crate.
He also designed a 45 foot, seven masted, articulated in the middle, 18
inch
beam sailing wonder. The articulation gives you time to change tacks as
you
move aft in the boat.
Another design "accordians" in the middle. It has short waterline length
for low wind and low wetted surface, and lengthens for stronger winds.
Watch
the boom or you'll polka your eyes out.
And yet another wonder excels in multifarous utility. It has a slot in the
cabin roof, for the bedding doubles as the sails, a rudder in the front
for
beaching backwards and docking maneuverability.
It all ends in one great crescendo with the trailer sailer that needs no
trailer. Imagine a portly Chebacco with retractable road wheels, a sprit
that doubles as a hitch mount and superior land sailing ability! Yield to
port road trains - I'm under sail!

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system
of
government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the
masses,
not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!

I leave you groaning and scratching your heads,

Gilligan

Hmmm. Clearly more saliva is needed. But what if Arthur had been
faced with massive strange women lying in ponds distributing
swords? Would that make him an appropriate candidate for
democratic purposes?
