and "Heidi *the* Ho"

A guy went downtown with $100.

He intended to Hei-de-ho.

When a couldn't quite figure out who to approach with his offer, a
helpful woman stepped forward to end his confusion and said "Idaho."

A boating resource of daily words with historical interest as they
relate
to boating. A daily series.

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.

Oh Chuckie. Put a cork in it!

One of the funniest aspects of an insult is that it does more to
illuminate the character of the person offering it than it ever will
serve to define the party it is leveled against.

Almost as funny is that the folks who specialize in nasty little
insults usually don't realize how badly their behavior reflects on
them, so they persist until they are considered a pariah by nearly
everyone- (except one or two like-minded insult hurlers).

Just to keep this on a "naughty ti call" bearing, there was a boat in my
old marina named Heidi Ho.

If you looked carefully, you saw a very small "the" separating Heidi and
Ho.

The story went that Heidi was the owner's first wife and after the
divorce, his second wife refused to require a boat name change.

Hmmmm - I wonder why? :)

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.


Don, it takes much more than eye color. I know I could never be as neat as
you three, and wouldn't even give it a shot.

My new downfall is Stella D'oro Anisette Toast with coffee. Having watched
the calories faithfully for almost 4 months, those damn things are going to
screw me all up if I don't stop buying them. Two or three with a cup of
coffee is fine, but it's hard to stop there.

So I take it you're now excluding Tim?
Don't you think he can be a neat person? If you had any honour, you'd send
back that gift he so generously shipped to you.
