Howzabout starting a whole new newsgroup for the BS??



We could call it: alt.bs.w'hine, after you.


Or alt.haroldsrectalcranialinversion after you. On the other hand
there are probably a number of groups specializing in various
personality disorders and mental health issues where you'd fit right
in.



Is that what they told you in alt.my.boat.is.bigger?

Size does matter but it's all relative. There are a lot of *really*
big boats down here in the Caribbean and ours is just kind of average,
not really standing out at all except for the nicely varnished
woodwork which is unusual, even at a dock full of mega yachts.

The first time I knew I had to win the lottery was when I saw a
helicopter on the back of a yacht! Since then I have seen a few more
and one actually had two!

Let me guess. You don't own one.

We saw one just the other day and it was not a huge boat either, maybe
a little over 100 ft. It was a very small looking copter however and
I don't think you could pay me enough to try landing it on a small,
moving deck like that.

I have seen a few with two. The last one had some serious helicopters
on board. I don't know the size of the yacht other than huge - north of
100' long. Knowing nothing about helicopters, they both had the large
turbine engines, a main prop and no rear vertical prop. Cayman flagged.

I rode the Saipan once Larry, does that count?
