It's a good boat if you want to go out and have people pointing at you behind your back
and laughing and thinking to themselves, "What an idiot!" And, "He coulda spent that money
on a good used sailboat and had something to be proud of." And, "I guess he doesn't care
about safety." "I guess he has no idea how silly he looks to everybody." Did you ever look
real good at a knee boarder. He's looking like some kinda retarded cripple bouncing up and
down at the end of a string. That's what Mac26s look like to me.....
JimC, maybe a person who doesn't care what other people think. But, I doubt it. If you
were you wouldn't spend so much time here trying to convince people that Mac26s are
anything but the *retarded cripple* of sailboats.

Actually, it takes at least two people to keep a discussion going,
Ellen. If you don't like my comments, you don't have to answer them. In
fact, you don't even have to read them. If you weren't so obviously
frustrated because you keep getting your ass kicked all over the ng, you
would have lost interest in Mac discussions long ago.

You think Capt. JG knows what he's talking about? Heheheheheheheheheh! No wonder
lawyers get a bad name...... Why don't you be a good lawyer and ask him for proof?

Cheers,
Ellen

He's trying to be clever I suppose.

I don't know, but he's been doing the female impersonation thing off and
on for at least 7 years. It's about as convincing as Donald Rumsfeld in
a dress.

But I like your comments. They're so typical. They sound just like anybody who's trying to
talk himself into believing he didn't screw up royally. You can hear comments like you make
all the time. It can be about a boat, a car, a movie, a hamburger. It can be about anything you
spend money on. Only difference is the more money people spend the harder they try to
convince themselves they spent it wisely. You musta paid a million dollars for your Mac26. :-)
