Christmas gift suggestion for extreme boat snob
In the berth next to mine resides the ultimate boat snob. His view is that
99% of all boats are unfit for him and marketed to idiots. He looks down his nose at everyone elses choice of boat and believes his opinions are the only ones that are correct. He is irritating to be around, he always has some snide comment about the way someone does something. I really, really want to get him a fitting Christmas gift, one that tells him what I and everyone else think of him. I need some suggestions, so please have at it. The gift should cost $300 or less and have real impact. Thanks, I know you guys will come up with something good! Tom S. |

He sounds like he has his head screwed on straight to me except for one area which will be addressed below. He's probably 100% correct in his assessments of his neighbors. I discovered a very long time ago that NO boat at a marina had an owner who was anything but a moron. The fact that the boat was kept at a marina is indesputable proof of that. This makes for a dilemma. If he is so knowledgeable and superior then what the hell is he doing still hanging out at the marina with the low-life he despises? Buy him one of those big white mooring balls with the blue horizontal stripe with a suitable length of chain and a large mushroom anchor. Wilbur Hubbard |

Consider giving him a very nice xmas card, telling him what a nice boat he has and how much you and the other neighbors value his opinion. There's no need to spend money on a jerk, and it will do nothing to change his mind. On the other hand, there might come a time when there's a fire and he's the only one with the hose. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Go down to your local flea marker or thrift shop,, for a couple of bucks you should be able to find one of those trophies that consists of the rear end of a horse mounted on a pedestal, another couple of bucks and you can get a nice little brass plaque engraved to glue on the base: You choose a suitable inscription...\ \ Cheers Martin tle |

"Say it with Walmart!" $5 should be sufficient....(c; Another wonderful gift, if he's a liveaboard, is a dozen dead black roses, delivered by a florist. I know someone who got them from his ex- wife after she lost in divorce court and HE won child support....(c;] |
