Harry's name calling stems from his insecurity and self esteem issues.
It's an attempt to boost himself up by putting everyone else down.

Unlike you, I don't need a really big old boat to compensate for a really
small old dick.

Nonesense. Wayne has a big old boat because he lives on it for 5 months
at a time and uses it to travel to places that most of us would only
dream of navigating to. Everyone has their type of boating and
interests. Few do what Wayne does.




To each his own. What Wayne does for "five months at a time," indeed for
the whole year, seems vacuous to me. To me, the idea of being *that*
retired with nothing really to do but putter around in a boat for half
the year seems mindless and completely self-indulgent.

You sound a little envious to me. I know I am.
I had to go look up "vacuous" BTW.

So what are your "retirement" hobbies or interests, besides spreading
your political, social and anti-business philosophies on a obscure
internet newsgroup?


Why would I be envious of a lifestyle I'd find boring?

I'm not retired. For fun and relaxation, I do some boating, some bike
riding, some traveling, some reading, some target shooting, some getting
together with old friends. I have friends and colleagues in their 80's
who are still actively involved in their work. If I make it that far, I
hope to be doing the same.
