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%. ;-)


I think Doug was just trying to be charitible....

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.
Bimini (Bi-mini), meaning, Mother of Many Waters, Bibi (Mother) and Mini
(Waters), is a term and name in the Taino Native American Indian language
of the Caribbean islands and is the original Pre-Columbian Taino Arawak
name for the present day U.S. state of Florida.

Or in Canadian it would be:

"Hey - Hoser - where 'da hockey pucks, eh?"

Or Merikan. "Place where crooked politician hang out"

Which in Urdu is "Gazelle's Ass" and in Backhairistan
"Camel Droppings".

Sheriff John Stone?

He doesn't leave you alone?

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

You a Beach Boys fan? I thought you'd be more into that Frankie Laine
guy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_Laine

I go all the way back sonny. To the days when
rock n' roll was really rock n' roll.

Hell, I was trying to play "Rock around The Clock"
when I was eight years old on my Dad's old Gibson
wide body. :)

Frankie Laine indeed.

Hmmm - there has to be a sloop out there named John B.

Just has to be.

Busy Tainos. They lived in Puerto Rico, too.

Did you know that the Vikings discovered Puerto Rico?

Explains a lot.

Hmmm. And I always thought it was the homeland of lox.

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.

They keep screws in brine?

Well I'll be damned.
