Stupid prick!

Well Wilbur, stupid is as stupid does.

Have you ever lived in a golf cart or car for 6 months?

I suggest giving it a try and then returning for a polite little chat
about your requirements.

Don't know "Capt Neil", but after many hours of googling this group,
you learn that many people hide behind fictitious names, often
changing them.
Time is compressed too, giving another perspective. There are feuds
here that go back many years, and I've seen them develop and sometimes
fade away. As a newcomer, I'm a bit careful not to sound too familiar
with others here, even though I feel I've known some for years.
But there are plenty of stalwarts here who don't hide who they are,
and they keep the group from turning into one honking flamefest.
Not to say some of the flamefests aren't entertaining as hell (-:

Well, not exactly a car, but Neal lived aboard this vessel for years.

Hmmm - where have I heard that before?

Not for six months, but wen I was in college - ROAD TRIP!!!

Went to Colorado to obtain some "Colorado Kool Aid" - figured the trip
was goig to take a week - instead, we went to Wyoming, Montana, Utah,
Arizona, New Mexico and Texas - never did make it to Colorado for any
length of time except to pick up Coors when we drank anyway. :)

That was a hell of a summer.

There hasn't been an interesting flamefest in rec.boats for many years.
Today, all it amounts to is "your an asshole" and then an equally
creative response "I know you are, but what am I". Many years ago two
regulars did a parody of Harry and Skipper, except instead of discussing
Bayliners, they discussed Rule Bilge Pumps vs Attwood Bilge Pumps. They
had the two of them done pat, and it was very entertaining.

Trust me if you read the exact same "asshole insults" for a few years,
they do get old, and have NO entertainment value. Try reading some of
Bassy's insults and tirades and imagine 20 or 30 more people making
50-200 posts per day, just as creative as his.

That was Marcus and "Mrs.B". (I have forgotten her real name that she
posted under).
It's a classic thread .... hilarious and one of my favorites.

Yeah, but look as the snazzy purple upholstery in the cabin.
Great for those 'alternate lifestyle' parties.
