Far-seeing boats
Question to the group:
What kind of eyes does one paint on a boat to ward of evil (bob)spirits? References to books or links would be helpful. I'm looking for an image that I can paint on my boat. Hopefully like one might find in the Med or Persian Gulf. Web surfing hasn't brought up much for me. btw, sorry bobsprit.... couldn't resist. Ulysses |

I put large fake styrofoam breasts on the front of my boat, I got them from Babs, slightly used. They make great docking cushions and will poke the eyes out of anyone who approaches.

o heck
for a change try some real ones on the front of your boat not only can they poke out eyes, they behave differently with varying sea state. and they are more preferable as docking cushions gf.

Katysails,
It's almost October. Are you going to strap on the old accordian and belt out a few tunes for Octoberfest? How about Rosamunde and the Chicken Dance? I've got lovely Lederhosen outfits for the Flying Monkeys. In fact, there out for a few weeks in Leavenworth Washington: http://www.alpenroseinn.com/Leavenworth.html There's Ole Thom in the picture, the guy witth the beard.

I'm sure the monkeys look quite as attractive as any person of German
descent in loden, however,being of Irish/Hungarian descent I would think either a pint of Guinness or a crock of Tokay would be more appropriate. We just saw Tommy Makem in concert last weekend, so I'm all fired up on "The Wild Colonial Boy" etc. Old Thom had better watch out with that beard. He might roll it up in his new roller furling! BTW, how does Babs manage to get the suspenders of her lederhosen to stretch far enough over her enormous tips? "Gilligan" wrote in message ink.net... Katysails, It's almost October.

That's the idea, I want her to know where she's going for those times
when I don't! I was hoping for some sort of traditional eye symbol... perhaps an eye of horus, although I don't know that I've seen one on a boat.

Little buddy,
Unfortunately I cannot take your advice on the fake breasts. You see, my boat already has breasts. Perhaps when I christened the lovely girl I should have just splashed some champagne on her rather than giving her the whole bottle; she became so inebriated that she undid her own breasthook and out they came! I must say they're breathtaking. But they're not up front. For some reason my boat likes to lie on her back, and so you see that the breasts on a properly trained boat (trained by a properly manly seaman such as myself) are not up front but rather topside. I can only assume from the position of your styrofoam ta-tas that your girl has up-ended her buttock lines and is afloat on her knees!

By "Eye of Horus" do you mean something like this?
http://www.crystalinks.com/eyehorus.gif Did you mean "Eye of Osiris" http://home.arcor.de/rhoda/History/L.../EyeOsiris.htm As for eyes on your boat, I think it depends on what sort of cultural inheritance you're trying to bestow on the lady.
