Favorite stupid

[gonzo]

What is your favorite stupid claim about boats or marine systems? :?:

[apex1]

1. Controllable pitch propellers are expensive!
2. Polyester resin is a boatbuilding material.
3. A selfmade boat is cheaper than a yardbuilt.

[Itchy&Scratchy]

'unsinkable'

Yeah right:p

cheap

[hoytedow]

We are the government and we want to help you.

This applies to boats, boatbuilding, boat licensing, fishing, fish farming, fishing licenses and also everything else not having anything to do with boats.

[gonzo]

I know nothing about boats so I'm going to build something better, cheaper and faster

[apex1]

That cannot be a stupid claim Gonzo! Almost every second newbie here has such approach, can they all be wrong?

[Fanie]

Yeah ! How come your 'favourite stupid' is based on facts ? Any one here could have told you that :D

Mmmm... Sod did Hoytedow. Truths.

[apex1]

Fanie I know. So I did´nt ask any one here!;)

[hoytedow]

Sorry. Didn't know it had to be untrue. Will do better next time.

[masalai]

Truth is stranger than fiction...

[hoytedow]

You are the prettiest girl I ever...

[hoytedow]

The previous owner only used it to drive to church.

[Boston]

lets back up one there Hoytedoooo
ummm
when did someone find occasion to tell you you were the prettiest girl they ever saw :eek:
and why were you dressed that way :?:


B

[masalai]

Possibly because he? was taking the car to church:?:

[Fanie]

You mean taking the boat to church :rolleyes:

He he... this should go under 'I am the victim of everyone'... :D

[hoytedow]

BThey didn't say it. IIIII said it.:P

By the way, any silly jiffy pop balloons drift out your way lately?

[Boston]

Those folks are right up the road from where I used to live and I guess it floated directly over the old ranch, got the place buzzing pretty good from what I hear. Guess its turning out to be a hoax or something like that, not sure but seems like some bright ideas just weren't that bright after all eh.
Can you imagine the amount that chase helicopter must be charging, those things just for normal use are what $4,000 an hour or something ridiculous like that. At the least those folks are going to be footing the search and rescue bill.

oh
a little advice on the previous subject
well more of a rule of thumb
specially if your getting those kind of comments

never wear anything your not willing to get arrested in

just trying to help
wouldnt want to see any of my Republican friends getting into even more embarrassing situations
cheers

[hoytedow]

Yeah, they got the whole country anxious for their stunt. I hear the bill will top $40k. Good thing its only paper money. Mas would be apoplectic.

[mark775]

Anybody that watches the reality TV crap that this family is addicted to should help foot the bill. Bizarre.
You know, there is a reciprical to "you are the prettiest girl I ever..."

[masalai]

hoytedow, not my money, just amused at the efforts people will go in seeking publicity for any reason:?: that 15 seconds of fame looks like it is going to COST:D:D:D

Baloon boy was flashed all over the commercial TV here - sort of like the Jackson death - distraction from other real stuff "puckin fathetic"....

Sometimes I see flashes of wisdom in your words. Doesn't mean you are always right, but you get a good point from time to time. When I agree, I will tell you so. The beta types are ducking frunk on this pablum shown on the idiot box as a constant drip..drip..drip.

[masalai]

hoytedow - "a constant drip..drip..drip.", nasal, anal of both :D:D:D:P big flashes on the news of more distractions from "baloon boy" saga I think I will not watch the "news" tonight - the crap that is passed off as news WTF:D:D:D

Stay selective and read some that I post links to - you will know the content by my comment - sometimes:?::?::D

"I can fix that"

Unfortunately- it's usually me saying it..

[apex1]

"I can fix that"


I have seen cases when that really happened eventually!

But "no problem" is a statement that freezes my blood! You definetively know that now the trouble starts.

[Itchy&Scratchy]

Another one which I am 100% guity of is

'What Im not paying that!!!!, I can make it for way cheaper and better.!!!!':D :p :) ;) :(

[Knut Sand]

For boats;
"Relax, I've been here before..."
"Relax, I've done this a million times..."

For nightclubs in London (to the "doorman")...:
"Do you know that you look like an arab terrorist?"
(I was the innocent bystander... Still don't exactly know what happened...).

Here is the correct one

Build a rowing boat, rowing is fun. Just don't get involved in racing, then it's no fun just lunacy.

So how about some largess - and do the right (communist) thing and give me some (of your spare "rep points" - in true capitalist/communist fashion it will not cost you, as they will be created out of thin air, and only the next generation of taxpayer will have to pay.... :P:P)?

Wrong Security?, - I think it may be that big handsome buck in the uniform and nothing between the ears so "she can re-program him to her standards"... :?: :?:

Is that why "Men prefer blonds" in the mistaken belief that 'blonds' are too dumb to do that stuff... :o :o

There really isn't much maintenance on wood boats

[Boston]

I thought it was free

[apex1]

I thought it was free

At least it gets "green" when you take the statement for serious.......:D

[gonzo]

There is little maintenance in wooden boats. I wouldn't sell it to you otherwise. Think about a tree, it stays out in the weather for centuries without problems.

[masalai]

You can trust a politician

you can trust bankers

Have faith, your paper doller/money is safe and will not be devalued:o

[gonzo]

You can trust a boat salesman

[apex1]

Trust ME I know what I´m talking...............

[masalai]

Do we add salespeople to the list for recycling into soyulent green:?: with fuel as a byproduct:?:

[apex1]

I fear to be a bit biased here.
Although I am by no means a salesman, some people think so.

[gonzo]

A byproduct of manure is methane, a good fuel. Maybe we could put them in a closed environment with a hose where the methane would exit and be bottled for marine fuel

[Fanie]

You guys better be carefull who you're so wrecklessly quoting here, ok.
Nobody can hear you scream in cyberspace...

[Fanie]

some people think

some people think

[Boston]

Im serious
my present customer said and I quote
"I thought that was free"

to which I could only respond
" did we have a contract"
"did it say free or no charge under that big black line and next to all those perdy numbers"
"do you have a bill"

she puts her head in her hands like this is all some kind of shock and says
"but I thought it was free"

and no it wasnt on the deck job its was just some dumb little stuff but still
"it aint free lady"

you would think a crappy $800 bucks was asking for the moon

"I thought it was free" is just stuck in my head today

[masalai]

What are you talking about, the porch you made with such love and care? - ask her if she is having a "opening celebration" and invite a number of "guests" along to partake in an orgy and collect $100 a piece and prompt them with the same line when she baulks a bit at coming across with the free sex...??? 10 'freeloading' guests and you should see a minor profit... and a lesson well taught...

[hoytedow]

US of A- I thought it was free...

[masalai]

It will be soon when the debt collector comes knocking and will take what is due and more... none of this "walk away" bullshit in international markets... Your ass is theirs until the payments in full are made along with collection costs and other painful experiences...

[hoytedow]

Ouch.

na she paid for the porch and loved it

it was the landscaping she was whining about
long story but she paid up

actually the hubby paid me on the deck no worries
when she got an additional bill for the dirt work in the easement area prior to sod ( which is another bill buy the way ) she thought it was in the previous contract even though she had asked me to separate everything out in separate billings ( which I did, pain in the ass though it be ) then she came at me with

I thought it was free

I bout fell over laughing

[masalai]

Oh how sad... It is a crazy crazy world... That was my "crazed png highlander mindset" going off the rails with wild retribution - major reason we left... that sort of mindset that placed women as chattels or lower than the scrawney scavenging dogs that roam around... Me being stupid again?

[Boston]

I might add that she only paid up after "forgetting" to include it in several subsequent payments

I just raised my prices
I call this particular charge "stupid tax"


about once a year someone lands in the stupid tax column
