Aha! And when will you teach him to hunt and shoot?

Tsk tsk tsk .... no doubt grow up a homosexual - or worse. Poor kid.

We don't want Thom to share our ideas. We want him to come up with
better ones. That's why we'll never be "old farts."

Bwahahahaha! And where will he be exposed to these "better ides"? In NY? Sure
..... from Rev Moon.

I used to think like you until I got to be an "old fart". Edgar is right -
you'll think your kid is FU'd and wonder why. A friend raised his girl to be a
housewife. She works for an international corp, travels all over the world and
makes $500K/yr at 40. Is he happy? No! She didn't give him any grandkids! I
wanted SWMBO's kid to be like that. She dropped out, got married, had a kid,
and sees a shrink twice a week.

It never occurred to me that I'd be on the old side of a generation gap - but I
am. I have nothing in common with y'all wimpy young city/suburban kids raised
on Ritalin to have big mouths and zero tolerance for violence. Jeeze, the kids
over on reeky motorcycles had cat because somebody dared to honk his horn at a
car and my habit of closing car door on drivers heads gives them the willys.

Like I said, I feel sorry for y'all. If WW II happened today, we'd loose.

My good friend is a retired detective and in 22 years he never pulled
his gun. Instead in learned marshall arts and how to handle himself.

I love it. You are a ntural comedian! In 22 years behind a desk your friend
never "pulled a gun". Did he even own one? And "marshall" arts? an even
bigger joke. Martial arts are sports with rules - rules street fighters ignore.
We used to go to the Karate dojos and slap the instructors around when I was in
high school. Then I took a couple semesters of Judo in college and learned
why - jeeze, we might as well have picked on basketball players.

I don't need a weapon and if you ever learn to handle yourself, niether
would you.

We had a shop teacher in hi school who thot that. Fact is he could whip any
five of us kids. So we brought six and sent him to the ER in a coma just to
teach him a lesson you obviously never learned.

Oh, I guess being a kid excluded exposure to the arts!

It isn't necessary, or even desirable to be "exposed" by sitting in the middle
of some crowded theater smelling the farts and perfume. There are literally
1000s of artists who are as good as any you'll find on stage who never "got
noticed". Each of my many friends have paintings (some original, some copies)
in their homes and most create their own music. Their kids learn to appreciate
art by participating in it rather than being simple spectators. Would you
believe there is an art to stomping somebody's head without killing him?

Best do some research.. there are several treatment plants ....

Yup, and there are treatment plants on every tributary of the Cheasapeake Bay.
Of course they dump 1000s of gallons of raw sewage every time it rains. That's
why the bay is a cesspool almost as bad as LIS. But don't get caught taking a
leak off your boat ...... People = pollution. The more people the more
pollution.

Sorry to tell you, but quite a few cops don't ever draw their guns ....

That's a fact! All one needs to do is ticket mousey little guys and avoid
criminals.

Anything more than a bow is a spoof of the word hunting.

This is true and even a bow is a spoof if used from a blind or tree stand. The
only way to hunt nowdays is to have 3+ people share one gun and several bottles
of whiskey while they walk the woods. That way any animal they kill deserved to
die, and there is a real risk to the hunters.

Hereabouts, we don't hunt - we harvest. If a deer wanders by my porch and my
freezer is low I kill it - but I don't call that hunting. And once a year the
neighbors have a drive to thin out the excess. That's not hunting either.

Possibly not. But some are certainly much faster than others.


... We mainly use it to anchor out overnight, thus to let the
waves rock
us to sleep. It suits that purpose.


Provides an excellent sunset viewing platform as well.

Thomas will be sailing on the LIS, which is renowned as one of the best
places to sail in the world.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa.

You live next to, and sail in, a sewer.

Agreed. If I want to shoot something, I use a spotlight and a scope
sighted rifle. Wandering about looking for victims during the daylight
is a waste of my time.

Same logic for fishing. Why waste time with a hook when you can use a
gillnet and have a few drinks while waiting for the fish to commit
suicide?

No, I had every intention but prolly will not soon due to bad health. Chemo &
radiation left me too weak to handle a boat if the going got at all rough so I
gotta stay within a short sail from the pier for now. Maybe this fall ....

Thanks
