Gibing you something to whine about.

Warren, some paddlers only know how to whine about jibbing! That is
what this whole thread is about, changing to a complete new heading
(politically speaking) without getting the permission of those who had
us on another heading previously. The fact that the new helmsman jibed
instead of tacked, caught some of the flatland paddlers in a tizzy, as
they tried to figure out what just happened, and they'r still figuring,
and undersestimatin'. They say the helmsman doesn't know what he is
doing, but it appears to me he pulled off the jibe pretty smooth,
despite all the squealing!

Now I realize that an off topic post about sailing, will cause some
more squealing from some paddlers, but I would suggest that they try
sailing. You get more attuned to the direction the wind is blowing, and
how hard. And you learn to use the wind to get where you want to go
without so much whining! TnT

Posted three times already and you still haven't spelled it correctly!

Mike

Michael Daly, Sorry about posting three times, and Sp. error, but I am
not seeing it posted even once. I kept getting a server error when I
tried posting it earlier, and got a failure notice. So am surprised
that it posted at all. What server are you linked to, that you are
seeing the post? I am on the Google beta RBP and still not seeing it.

Mike, since you are the Sp. Prof. for the day, could you define the word - undersestimating? Now it could be liberal speak, but I could not find it in my dictionary. Since you did not correct the spelling, it must be correctly spelled, and I am left wondering what it means.

You might need to check with Paddlec1 since he mentioned it first, I think. :-)TnT

Undersestimating a semi-literate born-again evangelical alcoholic (self
admitted) frat-boy with a police record....
Not possible.


Sure is, the Dems did it twice in the last two Presidential elections.

Thanks for conceding the point:

"a semi-literate born-again evangelical alcoholic (self admitted) frat-boy with
a police record."
