Looking at new boat
« on: September 08, 2011, 07:54:42 PM »
I've been thinking. Considering my advancing age & busted up body, and the fact that my gastroentonologist named his new helicopter after me. Mebbe I should slow down a bit?

Can pick this cabin cruiser up cheap. Wuddya think?

It's not your style Doug. Many of the older Glastron members are still thinking speed. Get a good night's rest to clear your head and the old Doug will come back.

I don't know about this one Doug. If Olive Oil doesn't come with it I think you'll be in for a rough ride;D

Is that a portable head on there?  Seems to me that it might come in handy over at "Snake Island".  'specially with the Ladies!

It's a floating outhouse. ;D  Stay with your speedster and tell the doc you want a ride in his helicopter since you've been paying the notes. I work in the medical field and it's crazy what patients are charged. And they wonder why medicare is going broke.

Um...I think I'd like it better if it didnt have the out house in the back. It already has a cabin.
Also it needs some canvas on there. Some things to think about.
Does it come with the tires? If not, I'd low ball'em.  :o

Smart thinking Terry! I keep wanting to say "valet" but I think that's incorrect. What do you call the person in the restroom at a swanky hotel or restaurant who offers you towels, cologne, etc. I don't mean the pervert in the next stall I mean the guy that's employed by the establishment ...

That is what it would be if China Mart had them. Everybody there is an "associate" Sounds special, doesnt it?

somethin' just not right about a guy, waiting, listening, hangin' out while you do what you gotta do... to hand you a towel when it's all said and done... not sure what they would have to pay me for that...
