Lobsta' Boats and trust
Gould, this post of yours says a lot. Do you know why?During the great debate about Harry's Zimmerman-like Lobsta' boat many
questioned it's existence.
If fact, if I recall correctly some wagers were proposed by some pertaining
to him proving it's existence. At some point Harry supposedly sent you some documentation that either
proved or disproved it's existence. He selected you to receive this
information based on his feeling that you could be trusted and would keep
the information confidential, only to be revealed on his say so. So, are you now on the verge of not honoring that trust? Or threatening to
do so? Hope not. Eisboch |

| Probably - but I'm better looking, smarter and just a much more
worthwhile person. :>) |

| I used to be taller than I am now. I also am losing my sense of humor and
am not anywhere near as worthwhile as I used to be. Just ask Mrs.E. Eisboch |

| Funny you should mention that. I'm actually almost a inch and a half
shorter than I was at age 20. I have never lost my sense of humor, but sadly, Mrs. Wave has less
tolerance for the shenanigans than she used to be - she keeps telling
me I'm not 25 anymore. :>) Women - can't live with them, can't live without them. |

My Navy records indicate I was exactly 72 inches (at 19-20 years). I don't know what I am right now, but I know I am shorter. Either that or
it's an optical illusion. Eisboch |

My apologies to Gould.
I thought it was the Lobsta' boat. Eisboch |

| Your memory is faulty. The paperwork Harry sent my verified that he
bought his Parker, the YoHo. I never saw any evidence that he owned his
lobster boat. If you will recall, when Harry bought his Parker a group of posters,
led by Karen of Oz, all claimed he was lying about buying a boat. Take
a look back in the archives if you would care to. You're just plain
wrong. Sorry. |

| No, it qualifies as an example of Chuck Gould's snarkiness. I'm glad I cut way back on reading and participation here. The netcops
have really turned it into a shit-er-ee. |

| Well, Chuck does have a point about the OT stuff - it does get to be a
little, well, off-puting I guess is a good way to describe it. On the other hand, the world is still spinning, the sun came up this
morning and life is still worth living. Do what you will. |

| I think it's perfectly natural for people with a common interest to get off
track once in a while, particularly when the issue is an emotionally
charged, important item like the election next week. Name calling is not
necessary, but the events of the world today are important to all of us.
I've learned from being involved in some of these "debates". If it's any consolation .... rec.boats isn't the only NG that is currently
fired up with political posts. Just about all of the popular ones are,
regardless of the official NG topic. Eisboch |

Indeed. I read most of your posts, because even when you are snotty, I
know it is in jest, and is part of your acerbic personality. Or it is a
result of your being shorter than the other guys in your group. |

| Acerbic? Me? I have some film critic friends who would find that
highly amusing. Not to mention that them 'thar's fightin' words... :>) ~~ cough ~~ I much prefer - well, weird. :>) I've referenced this before - there are a few folk here who don't take
themselves seriously - I'm one of them. I also can prove, without
being "snarky" that this newsgroup is completely devoid - call it a
wasteland if you will - of humor. If you can't laugh at yourself for being a buffoon - or like Calif
Bill says - weird, then what's the point? We're all pompous dorks at
one time or another. When we don't recognize that, or take it as an
article of faith that we cannot have the moral/intellectual high
ground all the time, then we are purely here for the argument and not
the discussions. >Or it is a result of your being shorter than the other guys in your group. At 6'3", not likely. :>) |

| No, you are not a horse's ass, but the Lobster Boat has and will always
be a deep dark secret. |

| I don't recall Harry sending any info on the Parker to anyone. I verified
his ownership of the Parker by talking to the guy who sold it to him. He
also kept it in the same marina I was using. |

|
| I guess I should have read your post before I made mine. I didn't recall
the sending of any Parker paperwork after I'd verified his ownership. I do
recall Karen not believing me either! |

| What I think is funny is the fact that Harry has been totally silent
about the ficticious lobsta boat he "owned". The guy's not as dumb as he posts. |

| The info Harry sent was concerning his Parker. Harry never sent Chuck
or anyone else any info concerning the Lobster Boat. |
Reginald

| I could be wrong on this but my recollection is that the documentation
in question was for the Parker. |
Wayne.B

|
| I believe that it was the Parker's purchase order that Harry sent to
Chuck for Chuck to confirm that Harry had actually purchased a boat with
the stipulation that Harry's name, address and purchase price not be
revealed. I do not believe that Harry has ever sent anyone information
regarding the 36' Zimmerman like lobsta' boat. |
