OK, but what is the origin of the name "Bimini"? Was it named after the
boat tops, or is it the other way around? And, what's a "Scotia"?

In my usual style, I'll answer the 2nd part of your question.
Scotia = latin for Scotland
that is... Nova Scotia is latin for New Scotland.

Sheriff John can answer the 1st part.

On second thought, he's probably too busy runnin' around facilitating.

Very good... I had to look that up.
Nova lox or Nova Scotia lox. Similar to regular lox, but cured with a milder
brine. The fish is then cold smoked. The name dates from a time when much of
the salmon in New York City came from Nova Scotia. Today, however, the name
refers to the milder brining, as compared to regular lox, and the fish may
come from other waters or even be raised on farms.

Do you feel so broke up - you want to go home?

Nah - canned caribou farts.

Oh, I'm sorry - I meant to say caribou flatus.

What are you getting bent out of shape for? It seems you might not be
seeing all the messages that everyone else sees. Including this one,
there are 25.
Just a polite way to tell Sheriff John Henry that his own business needs
tendin' to!

I agree that 99% of the time, he's a complete pain in the ass*

I would adjust that up another 1%. ;-)
