In amongst our conversation, I was talking about "Gandalf the Green", a sailing vessel that caught my attention in rec.boats.cruising. At the instant of concern, it was in Tailand and was fine, but another story caught my eye, and it was this one.... http://www.sailingmagazine.net/compo...?directory=152 BTW, I thought it was a 40 ft, sloop. I was wrong. it's 47ft, steel hulled cutter. Glad to see you worked that damn Google problem out. |

You arm the teeth out of a bunch of vacationing executives and send them out on a "bait boat" to the gulf. When the pirates come, the executives get to open up on them with everything they got. You could have a pool for things like who blew the first pirates head clean off his body, and who killed the most pirates, who sunk the first pirate vessel, etc... It would be like a cross between the two tv shows, bait car and cash cab...  ========== Great idea, now you just need to find a friendly home port in that part of the world that won't mind you showing up with a boat load of weapons and infidels on board. You could charge extra for training sessions with advanced weaponry like RPGs and heat seeking missiles. Yeah, and if the women and kids aren't ready to handle a RPG, give them a gamepad and let them call in close air support via radio controlled, unmanned vehicles..- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Sounds like you're regressing to your Peter Pan persona.

He lives in a fantasy land... *he's a Peter Pan wannabe. I suppose if you encountered 10 guys with automatic weapons, grenades, etc. that were there to take your boat and your belongings either the easy way or to kill you and take them that you'd straighten your bow legs and act tough huh?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - There would be no acting involved! |

Everyone knows you are an out of control little pustule who erupts any time anyone calls into question anything you say or do. Give Ingersoll a little squeeze and the pus comes oozing out. Add your paranoia in to your temper and you're about the most fun little pimple in rec.boats to watch. Even funnier, you think anyone gives a rat's ass about you or your foul-mouthed, bull****-based responses. The only real question about you is when you'll actually go postal. -- Don't forget to leave a bit of beef for rec.boat's right-wing conservatrashers and ID spoofers to feed upon. The more they feed, the quicker rec.boats will fall into the black hole of cyberspace and disappear. |

Don, it is so true, besides doing our best to send rec.boats into the black hole of cyberspace, the only other reason to post here is to see how many people we can insult till they are in an absolute tizzy. As my sig file says, "the more they feed, the quicker rec.boats will fall into the black hole of cyberspace". My main focus is to do everything I can to destroy rec.boats. I am glad you are helping in my life goal. -- Don't forget to leave a bit of beef for rec.boat's right-wing conservatrashers and ID spoofers to feed upon.
