This vessel sank in January 1996 after being accidentally holed in a
Singapore shipyard by a barge. Now its superstructure riddled with rust
and its timbers rotten, languishes unrecognized and all but
unrecognizable condition in the dock of La Rochelle's maritime museum in
western France. She is too rotted to even tow and scuttle.

And I'd bet he plays a mean game of Nautical Quiditch also. I'd further

A modified mine sweeper used for oceanographic research starting in 1950 by
an extraordinary man born in France in 1910.



It was answered by Skipper 4 minutes after you posted the "answer".

Jacques-Yves Cousteau was born on June 11, 1910, in
Saint-André-de-Cubzac (Gironde) in France. He entered the naval academy
in 1930, was graduated and became a gunnery officer. Then, while he was
training to be a pilot, a serious car accident ended his aviation
career. So it was the ocean that would win this adventurer's soul. In
1936, near the port of Toulon, he went swimming underwater with goggles.
It was a breath-taking revelation.

Seeking a way to explore underwater longer and more freely, he
developed, with engineer Emile Gagnan, the Self-Contained Underwater
Breathing Apparatus, or scuba, in 1943, and the world under the sea was
opened up to human beings. After World War II, Cousteau, along with
naval officer Philippe Tailliez and diver Frédéric Dumas, became known
as the " mousquemers " (" musketeers of the sea ") as they carried out
diving experiments in the sea and laboratory. In 1950, Calypso, a former
mine-sweeper, was modified into an oceanographic vessel, endowed with
instruments for diving and scientific research, and the great adventure
began. She and her crews explored the seas and rivers of the world for
the next four decades

Redcloud is killfiled also, just as you are Skippy, as neither of you have
anything constructive to add to this NG.

Tell us about your boat Skippy and the recent boating adventures on it. And
don't regurgitate the tales of the Tostitos and you fighting 30 foot waves

No, it is factual. Don't know if you are aware that I was the originator
of the Nautical Jeopardy game back in 1997. I've always known that when
the game is initiated by folks like Jim it could be used to insult as he
did. The initiator of a Nautical Jeopardy game should have the game open
to all and not use it to flame as he did.

That said, I agree it is his right to killfile my posts as I did
identify him as one of the worst offenders driving this NG into the
toilet...but NOT during these challenges.

Too bad the Calypso was left to die. I was aboard her in the mid 1980's
when she was in Miami for a refit following, I believe, a return from
Cuba. The Engineer was kind enough to allow me and my friend to have
access to every part of the ship except Cousteau's cabin (except to look
in through the window). The ship was surprisingly small, as it always
looked so much larger on TV to me as a kid.

The highlight of our excursion was, at least for me, going down into the
original mini-sub and getting a feel for what it must have been like to
use it. That thing is just downright scary to be inside, as it is just
basically an empty shell filled with tubes, tanks, wires, and a flat
board to lie on to steer while looking through a very small, thick,
round piece of glass. Very, very rudimentary.

I took a bunch of pics inside and out, and if I ever find any of that
stuff I'll post them if there's a way to transfer them to digital.

Sorry, but I got tired of reading his insults, not only towards me but to
other members here.

He spent his first month here telling lies about Chuck. He then continued
to flame not only Chuck but others, including the likes of JohnH.

It is good that you see his only purpose in posting
here................trolling for arguments. He has nothing to offer boating
wise, in fact I cannot remember one post from him about boats other than
regurgitating the old garbage he wrote here a dozen or so years ago.

I am done the ass and will not sink to his level anymore.

What else is new? All he has done since he came back has been to lie
about
folks and flame them.

The nurses at the home need to up his meds and remove the stick he has
up
his ass.


It seems like he got you to bite.

Amen!

Jeeesh nothing. The guy has done nothing but cause trouble since he came
back and managed to flame just about everyone in the group. The stroke
must
have done permanent damage to whatever brain cells he had left.


So send him an email and tell him how you feel.

I guess are right John, just as you could have done instead of writing your
feelings about Krause at a.politics. ;-)

This isn't a.politics.

You could say anything you want in a.politics, and probably not upset anyone about
the activities in rec.boats.

I *have* sent Harry emails, BTW.

So? A flame is a flame, no matter where it is posted. Live by the

what NG you are posting to. Otherwise stop being a netcop.

I haven't flamed anyone here in ages...or at least since Brian suggested a New Years

No, it is factual. Don't know if you are aware that I was the originator
of the Nautical Jeopardy game back in 1997.

I remember. I also remember that according to you, I ruined it.

I do remember we were up to round 40 of Nautical Jeopardy. Peggie had
been a very active participant up until your dirge. When you let loose
that mother of all flames everything changed. Truly, the game and NG has
never been the same since. Don't know if your flame did it, but things
did change and any Jeopardy thread and this NG has been a ****ing
contest since.

BTW, In those days, the correct question would then field the next
answer. We passed it around and folks really discovered some interesting
info.

-----

Hold your water, Eisbock. We can wait to see if Harry responds with a
good answer without your ubiquitous flame.

It's Eisboch, not Eisbock. And that was not a flame, mate.
THIS is a flame:

You're clueless, Skipper! Completely clueless!

You couldn't catch a clue if you stripped naked and soaked your pallid
hide in clue musk, then did the clue mating dance in a field full of
horny clues during the height of clue mating season! You're ugly and
your mother dresses you funny.

You swine. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather
kiss a block of rancid toejam than be seen with you. You're a putrescent
mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing
but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life
is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on
a sour lemon. You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf
smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged
birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to
nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you
and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.

I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species
as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very
thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid
you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a
fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell? Try to
edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress
us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still
be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more
rapidly.

You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive
its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to
fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame
of your ignoble blood. May you ckoke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of
your own trite, foolish beliefs. You are weary, stale, flat and
unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul
and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you.

You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land
that reality forgot. And what meaning do you expect your delusionary
self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have
with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your
tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous
desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the
snake? You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous
and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living
emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a
disease, you puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meatslapper. On a
good day you're a half-wit.

You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality
of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted.
You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow
wherever you go. You smarmy lagerlout git.

You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik
artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit.
You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You
churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter.
You craven dewberry ****head cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing
gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted
clapper-clawed flirt-gill. You are a fiend and a coward, and
you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel
debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and
I wish you would go away.

I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid.
Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond
the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are
trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that
even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no
intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on
Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire
galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll.
Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some
primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure
essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond
the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an
epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again
for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant
questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of
the rest of this drivel. Duh. the only thing worse than your logic is
your manners. Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read,
write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are
rudimentary skills that many of us normal people take for granted that
everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that
there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more
difficult. If I had known that this was your case then I would have
never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like
parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the
emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on
you.

P.S.: You are hypocritical, greedy, violent, malevolent, vengeful,
cowardly, deadly, mendacious, meretricious, loathsome, despicable,
belligerent, opportunistic, barratrous, contemptible, criminal,
fascistic, bigoted, racist, sexist, avaricious, tasteless, idiotic,
brain-damaged, imbecilic, insane, arrogant, deceitful, demented, lame,
self-righteous, byzantine, conspiratorial, satanic, fraudulent,
libelous, bilious, splenetic, spastic, ignorant, clueless, illegitimate,
harmful, destructive, dumb, evasive, double-talking, devious,
revisionist, narrow, manipulative, paternalistic, fundamentalist,
dogmatic, idolatrous, unethical, cultic, diseased, suppressive,
controlling, restrictive, malignant, deceptive, dim, crazy, weird,
dystopic, stifling, uncaring, plantigrade, grim, unsympathetic,
jargon-spouting, censorious, secretive, aggressive, mind-numbing,
arassive, poisonous, flagrant, self-destructive, abusive,
socially-retarded, puerile, clueless, and generally Not Good.

Now go away.

I agree but you missed my point. You flamed Harry at a.politics. As I

Sorry, but if you want to continue to be a netcop here John live by the
standards you are trying to enforce here, regardless of what NG you post to.
Otherwise you are being a hypocrite.
