We Come On The Sloop John P

If you've ever been to a marina you'll have seen some nifty names that boat owners have painted on the back side (that'd be aft for all you sailors) of their boat.

The Associated Press reported earlier this week that the city of Salisbury Massachusetts has a new poop sloop. Yeah. Uh-huh. That's a boat that travels from boat to boat and pumps out onboard septic systems.

An unreasonable facsimile

After reviewing hundreds of suggestions the Harbor Commission settled on the name Down Winder. There were apparently plenty of clever suggestions from the public. They included Poo Bear, Pumpty Dumpty, Poop Sloop and Dung Dingy.

I can think of a few more.

The Poop Deck

The Mooner Schooner

Poop Wrestle Vessel

Not Too Late To Defecate

The Shit Ship

The Dump Sump Pump

Shitty Shitty Bang Bang

The It Don't Float Boat

Yellow Is Mellow But Brown Gets Flushed Down

The Septic Sub

It Stinks/Sucks To Be Me

There's Something In The Air

The Crapper Zapper

Captain Ty-D-Bol out of a job

I'm sure there are more. But after thinking these ones up, I'm pooped.

Oooh! Nasty. That's a job I wouldn't want to do! I had totally forgotten about the Ty-D-Bol man. His acting career sure went down the pooper, didn't it? - G

I like Dung Dingy, we don't use the word dung enough and it should be utilized more.

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...
