I just can't get over how neat you, Jimmy, and Harry are! You've got a
goal, you stick to it, and you've got lovely eyes. You're just neat and
cool.

Get over it...and soon! This is a family newsgroup and the conservative

Ahoy!! (nautical salutation)

Normally thought to be the proper nautical salutation when greeting
another ship or nautical colleagues, it may have been derived from an
ancient Viking Battle Cry.

Alexander Graham Bell once believed that Ahoy would be the appropriate
salutation for answering the telephone.

Adjacent to Ahoy is the term Yo-Ho! a slight twist on Ahoy.

Victorian writers used Yo-Ho's to add spice to their characters and songs.
Operattas by Gilbert and Sullivan such as "The Mikado" - "The happiest
hour a sailor sees - Is when he down - At an inland town - With his Nancy
on his knees - YO HO!!

Another intersting use of Ahoy is Ahoy-Hoy - an affectation used by the
social hoity-toity. *Ahoy-hoy is also a running joke on the cartoon show
"The Simpsons" as a greeting by the ancient and ever so miserly Mr. Burns.

Thank you very, very, much JimH. And I mean that sincerely. Nobody
could have illustrated my opinion any more clearly or accurately. You
have helped me build my case very nicely.

Stating once again: The problem with all of the off-topic crap (even
though you don't "have" to read it) is that it attracts an element to
the NG who care little or nothing about boating and are only here to
ooh-and-ahh at the fireworks and attempt to start trouble. These,
ahem, "individuals" (I'm a master of restraint this morning) then take
their obsessions with various imagined personalities to a level where
they believe it's a good idea to wade into the on-topic threads
and steer the discussion toward their personal animus against
individual X or Y.

Nice job of screwing up Tom's boating related post, JimH. And I see
your two-man fan club is already giving you their high fives for your
efforts. From my perspective you have merely proven once again why the
OT threads damage the group, so thanks for that.

If the Viking's used it as a battle cry, it certainly got converted to
more peaceful uses in regions they invaded. "Hoi" is an informal
"hello" in Dutch, and there is no great stretch of the imagination
required to figure that the English seamen of the 1700's (prior to
which the term was not in common use)
would corrupt it to Ahoy. Ahoy there = hello there. Ahoy the boat =
hello the boat. It's a term used for hailing.

One of the words for "hello" in Czech and Slovak is the full form of
the nautical term, "ahoy".

Now John...if you keep this agitating up, we may have to reconsider your
application for membership.
After all... you did insist that you have hazel eyes on two separate
occasions in the last day.
