I offer you this -- a quote from one of Patrick O'Brian's
Aubrey/Maturin novels (The Thirteen Gun Salute p27 of the pb):

[T]he land's main function [is] to provide marine stores --
it [is] not a place for real existence. [Patrick O'Brian]

Thus, a simple "Marine Store", while not particularly funny,
might be just what you are looking for.

BTW, welcome back.

Good Grief!

It's a reunion week!

Hiya Pete ... long time no see.

Ballcaps? Somewhere in this house I have a box of ballcaps from the
softball team I used to play on and partially sponsor...we were the ESADs.

And that's what we had on our caps.

If I ever uncover the box, I'll send you a cap.

8 years ago I asked the rec.boats newsgroup to help name my retail
store outlet and I picked "Buoys & Toys" which I thought was a pretty
cool play on words at the time. In reality most people don't get it
or don't know what we actually sell (some even think it's a gay Adult
Novelty store lol)

I am once again turning to my friends (old and new) in this newsgroup
to help me rename the store to something that is unique and
descriptive, that also reflects the stock change from strictly marine
to marine supplies, Liquor, beer, and convenience items (milk, bread
butter etc)

Let's have some fun with this and see if we can't pull a rabbit out
of a hat in the process. Any names you've seen at other marinas you
thought worked well too?

If I don't get something catchy soon, I'm gonna have to go with
"General Store" as a cop out this time around.

I'll save someone the first easy one - I'm not naming it Booze n
Boats. :-)

The floor is yours....
How 'bout......... The Oarhouse?

Hopefully that would end the confusion regarding any "gay Adult
Novelty."
Unless it was a gay oarhouse.
Was a nudie club (lady nudies) in San Jose, CA years ago. Harry *would

frequented it frequently.

"would of " ??

Heh, I've been lurking all this time. I read all posts in
rec.boats.xxx by the half dozen or so regular posters that
I have in my watch list. I find that one or another of
these few will eventually post to any interesting thread
and I can then decide whether to read the entire thread.
I can keep track of quite a number of 100/day or even 1000/day
newsgroups this way with a reasonable outlay of time.

BTW, I still have r.b caps and burgees, although I've only
been averaging about one request per year for quite a
while. I did just update the inventory page (and unfortunately,
the costs -- now $15), so feel free to get a replacement if
yours is showing the ravages of time.
