Sorry to Say
 

Capt Neal stopped posting here when he found out he had colon cancer. Rumors
that he sold Cut the Mustard were not true. The boat is on the hard somewhere.
I have no idea if he is even still alive, but the cancer was far enough along
that he took drastic and quick action.

Drastic, if you performed a radical asshole-ectomy you'd be left with a vacuum.

Seeing as my post was not a troll, we are left with the simple fact that you
failed to have that surgery yourself.
You're a class act, Martin.

Well coming from you, what can I say, except "Thank you, I humbly accept your high praise."

If that's true, I'm sorry to hear it. Well, the good news is that the
boat is on the hard and no longer a hazard to navigation.

Marty, that was really uncalled for. Now I have to replace my

True! Gag me with a spoon, the only true thing Bob has ever posted was when he told us he was a liar!

Anyone besides Scotty Potti's wife got a giant spoon???

Bwahahahahaha!

I choose to believe that Bubbles.
Have you heard any more?
Cappy is an opinionated prick but never the less human.

No, I was emailed about it sometime ago and the mail appeared genuine. I won't
name that person. If it was a gag in poor taste I'll take the blame. Sounded
bad and he did dissapear and hasn't posted anywhere for quite some time. Neal
was a PIA, but in direct e-mails to me was always good natured. Unlike a putz
like Scotty Potti or Doug, the guy had the humor and had fun with the persona
he created for the web.
Like Monty Python's dead parrot I hope he's only sleeping.

I wondered. I haven't had any replies from emails sent to real
boxes some months ago. Normally I would have had repsonses.
Anyone else?

I have a sad feeling that the email news I got was real. Only Neal could tell
us otherwise. Marty thinks it's all a troll or a joke. What can you do with
people like that?

Yes, but his cat is probably relieved to be off the boat.

Same goes here. He and I scrapped for years, but on the rare occasion
that we communicated via direct email, he was a decent guy.

Thom Stewart October 29th 04 10:02 PM

RB,

I haven't either but the last time I heard from him, he wanted to know
what was bothering me, you Old Fart.

I hope you're wrong but I worry.

Are you sure "Mustard" is on the Hard?

Ole Thom


Bobsprit October 29th 04 10:23 PM

I'm not sure, just heard that in an e-mail. Could have been a troll, but Neal
certainly would have dropped a message in somewhere somehow by now I think. Not
everyone is gifted with your longevity. My stepmother recently died at 55 from
a blood clot and she was in good shape, or so it seemed.

Same here, but then I lost his addy when my hard drive crashed last
year.

Neal always despised bob, and his 'lifestyle'.
