Freebird

Yep, this place sold out a long time ago. All that's left are bottomfeeders.

There's an understatement. The mods (at least one of them) is making up rules as he goes along, and the collective IQ of The Bilge now stands at about 69. Speaking of retreads, is PBR SquiddLobster still on here? No offense, but this place looks kinda dead. I don't even think the Dramamine was here last time I was online. Maybe that's where the action is.

Just curious, but I looked at your thread on THT and didn't see any "hate mail". As others pointed out, ShipShape TV has become a glorified infomericial, not an unbiased DIY program. Do you really expect them to say anything negative about companies who purchase advertising on their show?

Don't you just hate it when you post a joke that everybody has already heard?

Big mistake. Vince Young is a cry baby while Jeff Fisher is a hell of a coach who will surely be snapped up by another team. Saw that story when it broke and just shook my head. Look for the Titans to get their asses handed to them next season.

Figured it was time for a sequel. http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7428017/

Can't compete with the first one, but I thought I'd give this thing a try. http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7426821/

I dunno man, maybe you should sell this place. I happen to represent a group of investors who own a bunch of old anchors and wheels and stuff. Wanna trade? I'll owner finance the difference. Just messin' with you Wiley. Wanna buy me and endo a drink at the boat show?

Never was much of a Tull fan, but who could foget Ian Anderson or "Bungle In The Jungle"?

You a musician too?

You liked that huh?

Sometimes just listing the url enhances the anticipation and preserves the surprise.

Putting them out of the car and then following them is EXACTLY what I was going to suggest she should have done. That would have made her point while protecting her daughters. Personally, there's no way in hell I'm leaving two young girls alone like that. Was it criminal? No, but it was at a minimum a very stupid thing to do. I wonder what the mother would have been charged with if some psycho had watched her put those kids out of her car followed by his raping and murdering them?

I've always been a big Skynyrd fan and named my 58 Hatt "Freebird" when I bought it about three years ago. Until that time, I had only been on the Hatteras owners forum for about a month (my first venture into boater forums) and used my first initial and real last name as my username. After being told that wasn't in my best interest, I changed my username to match that of my boat.

NONE of us? I read your posting guidelines and didn't post ANY links... NONE. The way I see it, you owe me at least a chocolate chip cookie as an apology, but I'll settle for a wheel.

Keep in mind this was a rental. I can only assume they keep up the maintenance on their stuff.

I considered it an honor to be banned from THT. Besides, I needed that $29.95 wheel fee back anyway.

Nope, it doesn't... not on my WaveRaider anyway. Had to be a bad plug wire to make a spark to ignite the vapors, but I would think the dad would have had to do some serious cranking on that engine with the kill switch pulled to put that much fuel into the engine compartment. It'll all come out in the lawsuit.

Gringo rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard. 'Cos hells broke loose in Caicos and the devil deals the cards. And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold. But if you lose, the devil gets your soul. The devil opened up his case and he said: "I'll start this show." And fire flew from his fingertips as he resined up his bow. And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss. Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this. When the devil finished, Gringo said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son. "But if you'll sit down on the beach right there, and let me show you how its done." Fire on the Panga, run boys, run. The devil's in the house of the big bald one. LaGringa in the kitchen, pickin' out dough. "Gringo, does your boat float?" "No, child, no." The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat. He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Gringo's feet. Gringo said: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again. "I told you once, you son of a ######, I'm the best that's ever been."

Glad you clarified that LaGringa, I was waiting to post the rest of the song.

The devil went down to Caicos, he was looking for a soul to steal. He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal. When he came across this bald man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot. And the devil jumped upon a cypress stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what: "I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too. "And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you. "Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due: "I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you." The boy said: "My name's Gringo and it might be a sin, "But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."

I look at FCB from time to time. Hey, what can I say?... I'm a boat junkie. I visit the Hatteras Owners Forum on a regular basis and peak at BoatUS and Passagemaker from time to time, but both are pretty lame these days. THT is beyond lame, but I lurk there on occasion. There's a small K/5 Blazer forum that's fun too.

Sounds like fun to me.
