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.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...

Hello Goodbye

Today a bit of a reflective piece. Rather than being funny, this is  about the funny. It's a day of mixed emotion at nonamedufus . You see, after several months of inactivity I've dropped a couple of former blogger buddies off my blog roll. I kept hanging on and hanging on hoping they'd return to active blogging but, alas, after waiting in one case five months I've decided to let them go. I'm going to miss - going to? I have been missing - Margo at the Screaming Me-Me . She was one funny lady. From time to time she and I would engage in a feud or two for several days at a time but it was all in fun both for us and, I think, for our readers. And we'd leave each other funny comments, poking fun at each other. I miss her friendship and our humorous exchanges. The other blogger I'm letting go is Chelle, The Offended Blogger . Chelle was a special lady. In addition to her own blog she created and managed Humor Bloggers Dot Com where humour bloggers like m...

The Dangling Conversation

There's a debate underway in my household between my wife and I. I say "underway" because it hasn't quite reached the "raging" stage. If you want raging, my wife (a Francophone) and I (an Anglophone) from time to time (usually in a weak moment of my own making) slip into our number one discussion around why we don't speak more French at home - ergo - when am I, a former public servant who learned French at the expense of our gracious taxpayers and was technically rated bilingual (even though I hardly used it), going to improve my use of Canada's other language? This one never gets resolved, hence it's ongoing nature. But the current debate is over a remark I casually made the other day. I'm no geek, but with a lot of time on my hands I surf the web, converse on Facebook and such and - I have to admit - "I'm nonamedufus and I'm a Twitterholic". In an epiphany-like moment I was struck by the apparent impact of social networkin...
