Trolls

How long does it take an un-fed troll to starve to death?

I dunno, probably as long as it would take a leech on a fat man's ass to starve to death.

You're an optimist, aren't you, Thunderhead?

On a related topic, does anyone remember these fine beasties (Yes, they were called "Trolls")? I sailed on a few as a young'un in the UK, but haven't seen one in years. Moving to the States in 84 didn't help, of course...

"Troll" was a quite popular motor sailer her, also a car was called Troll, inthe 1950ies I think, built in grp, but it couldn't compete with Volvo and Saab.

Nice boat,........ is the builder still around? I heard a troll only live under the bridge, you cant disturb it unless you want to pay it something...... meaty.

Is there an offical website for the boat troll?

Goats, Wellydeckhand. They eat goats of the 'gruff' variety...
