-to those who don't know who the scum bag Bilge Rat is, he makes a living
--such as it is -- crawling around the lowest spots in a filthy cargo ships to
replace worn electrical wiring. this, of course, makes him an expert in
recreational boats and how they are used.-

Bilge- Never claimed any expertise in that area...unless someone else 'round
here has spent more time on Diego Garcia than I have, then I guess I'm the
local expert on "Dodge",(God help me).

Y'know, I love the kind of putrid little ****-lick who thinks that being a
seaman is somewhat akin to serving time for a felony conviction.

Ain't it strange that Christ could left his church in the care of any of his
apostles, among the ones we know of were tax collectors,farmers, tradesmen,
prostitutes(reformed), and fishermen.

And to whom did He hand the Keys?

So, yeah pallie, I play with some fairly dangerous crap in some fairly nasty
places, and the money isn't quite enough to innoculate me from that "Won the
Mega Millions Lotto" dream.

What of it? Care to try it? How many 40 and 50 year olds do you know who walk
the equivalent of a 15 story building every damned day?

Judging by your attitude, I'd say your maritime expertise is job-related
also...you must be the bozo who sucks farts outta the seats of the Staten
Island Ferry.

BG Doodles (jaxass) reminds me of my dear, departed, dingbat, aunt,
who was appalled that I would choose to go to sea in "filthy" Merchant
ships rather than in some nice clean Naval ship.
Like my aunt, Doodles, wouldn't know a Merchant ship from a "choo choo
twain".
Trust me Bilge ...... having laughed through many a "Doodles" rant on
subjects nautical, I still find it hard to imagine him holding down a
"BR" position.
On the one or two trips where he may have gotten out of sight of land,
he MAY have been onboard as ballast or "Norwegian Steam", but that's all.

Bilge- jaxashby as a "fart-chaser"? Hmmm, maybe that's what his Staten Island
ferry gig is leading up to...a promotion to inventorying other guys' "pecker
tracks".

Reading what passes for his posts, I think I know now what happens when guys
fall asleep in the paint locker.

Bilge- "But Auntie...I have a toilet of me very own on that ship".

During the run up to Desert Storm, I was on the SS Wright, and for a while, we
were the only civilian ship on the Mina Sulman pier in Bahrein.(Saudi Las
Vegas).

As one would expect, everyone with grease under their fingernails started
"horse-trading". Occassionally we'd get Navy-type "guttersnipes",(I think
that's the term for 'em in Navy vernacular), drop in on our engine room.

There was ALWAYS two reactions you'd get:

1- God...this place is filthy!

and

2-Where the hell IS everybody?

This was especially the case if the swabbies were from the USS LaSalle,
(Persian Gulf Command Ship). One of 'em asked about it once, and after I had
explained the theory and practice of Overtime, and it's effect on Manning
Scale, they seemed to get the picture.

bilge rat, you need to introduce yourself to labomba. the two of you can
sling b/s stories way over the top.

won't be long until you are telling about the night you screwed six virgins,
including three of the five svenssen sisters, while you worked days as a
cropduster just before you became general of the mercenary strike force used in
a certain south american country, later putting out oil well fires.

Bilge- Huh...two seamen + 1 coffeepot = sea stories. For all your supposed
expertise, you don't know one of the most fundamental tenets of Yankee
seamanship?

Bilge-You sound jealous. Did your old lady give some sailor a roll in the hay?
That's a shame, but don't take it out on me...I didn't touch the skank.

yo-yo bilge rat, there is no historical evidence whatsoever that that dude ever
existed.

but, then there is no historical evidence to show you have a brain, either.

Ain't it strange that Christ could left his church in the care of any of his
apostles, among the ones we know of were tax collectors,farmers, tradesmen,
prostitutes(reformed), and fishermen.

And to whom did He hand the Keys?

There's no need to argue about the existence of Jesus. There's no way to
prove he existed or didn't exist It's sort of like George W. Bush's
"completion" of duties in the National Guard - he either didn't or did,
but there's no way to prove it: you have to accept or deny it on faith
alone.






--
We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?

There is lots of evidence he existed. The question is was he the Son of God
as the Western Religions claim, or just another Prophet like Mohammed as the
Muslim claim. Or was he just a leader of a cult.

There is lots of evidence he existed

none.

then you love three quarters of the world's population.
