: Jeeez, I laughed so hard I spewed wine all over the place!

I hope it wasn't red.

: Amen brother! This whole carbon fiber and graphite prive gouge is pure
: rip-off. There's no reason to boost the cost 10 times, but they do.

Carbon fiber is harvested from the moon, don't you know that. That's why the space shuttle has to keep going up all the time. They're bringing back carbon fiber.

: I saw a Valhalla fold in rough, steep seas with a crackling break. I always
: knew that anything that bends with finger pressure was too light, but to
: see one folded makes me think they used a roll of toilet paper in the
: layup instead of glass.

We have to be careful how we tie down the surfskis because they will smush down or bend in the middle.

: Are you absolutely sure you weren't paddling it sideways? You know, point the
: skinny end versus the side? I find that they go easier that way. Hey, no
: need to thank me, that's why I'm here. Okay, I'm just getting you back for
: making me damn near choke to death laughing, that description was classic.
: Those damn barges...I seriously think that the core element, the seven-levels
: below-basement-granite absolute fundamental core element of any huge ship
: like tankers and aircraft carriers is one of those tubby yaks. Float one
: of those babies into the drydock, lay all that stell on top, and there you
: go, insta-ship. Just add water.

Actually I'm not sure if I was paddling it sideways or not. It was hard to tell. By the way, there was no manufacturer name on it. Do you blame them? I wouldn't put my name on that thing either. It's a travesty of justice that they even call it a kayak. Isn't the word "tippy" somewhere in the definition of a kayak? Besides, the hull was technically a trimaran. I'm quite certain I heard a fish laughing at me. It was like going to prom in an AMC Pacer.

: I see your point completely. Of course, the cop being a cop, America's finest
: and all that hoo-hah, probably got into a righteous ready-to-shoot mode.
: Not a good idea when they got the guns and attitude and radios and
: attitude and badge and attitude and worst of all, that attitude. Next time
: tell them you're Rob Pruden and out-of-control when you've sat in a kayak
: too long...that'll scare him!

I'm not going to blame him when he was just doing his job... although he could have maybe smiled or even said good day or something. Tell him I'm Pruden? Wouldn't that get me arrested? Isn't Pruden wanted for oogling women at the rowing club?

: Sometimes I think that a part of the country SHOULD sink into the water.
: Think of all the opportunities for the landlocked sorts to go ocean
: paddling, huh? I wonder how we can get LA to sink into the ocean? D'ya
: think there's a plug to pull?

Yes, the plug is located in the Governor's mansion, but I believe it's already been pulled.

: There's those skirts running around but aren't nowhere close, not even in the
: same universe, to the mop of platnium hair and shorts sitting on the
: living room floor, who is right now singing a lullaby for our bunny (its
: "bunny bed-time now you see).

Ha! Quit your bragging, Bugs!

Hey look... is that an AMC Pacer I see? Oooh I gotta have one. I can put my tubby little kayak on top and be the envy of all....
