What would you do if you had a boat?

[taterguy]

Inquiring minds would like to know

[madrchsod]

1. sail the seven seas...well

if it was big enough i`d be on the Mississippi for most of the summer....

[JVS]

2. Fishing and piracy!

[taterguy]

5. Nice post Edward Teach

[Crazy Dave]

We have a small one

The wife likes to fish but I just love being on the water relaxing, letting the blood pressure go down until some dickhead on a jetski or fast boat zooms by and creates a wake.

[JVS]

8. What kind do you have?

[Crazy Dave]

13. Just a small row boat with a trolling motor

Not more than 10' or 11' long I guess.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Aaaarghh!

Actually, I have one -- a small, highly fuel-efficient sailboat, but unfortunately it's too small for piracy.

[One_Life_To_Give]

4. Water Ski, Fish, Cruise

Racing was fun but alot of work and boredom. Never been one to sit around a boat and drink, although socializing is a major activity at many marinas.

[seemunkee]

6. I have a sailing canoe that I built

That sits most of the time and now needs some repairs.

[carlyhippy]

7. sail around the world....I guess that would depend on how big this boat is I guess

if it's a little boat, I probably won't get very far....

[RetroLounge]

9. Ride my pony on it...

duh

RL

[CrownPrinceBandar]

10. Aww.........beat me to it.

[RetroLounge]

12. ...

:hi:

GMTA

RL

[taterguy]

16. I can't imagine many things worse than a sea-sick pony

How the hell did two people come up with the same dumb-ass idea of taking one out on a boat?

[Pierre.Suave]

11. I have a small sailboat

I sail around my local lakes showing off my skillz to the ladees...

:P

[surrealAmerican]

14. Row, row, row it gently down the stream?

Actually, it might be kind of nice to have a kayak or canoe in the summer. I could take it out on the lake.

[azmouse]

15. Laugh my ass off...

I live in the desert.

[jobycom]

19. Quick! List movies that had a boat in the desert!

I'm thinking "Holes" and "Sahara."

Just wanted to hijack a thread. Let's see if it works. Though if it does, technically you would have started the hijack.

[azmouse]

21. Did Close Encounters of the Third Kind have a boat in the desert?

Other than that I'm out of ideas... :(

[jobycom]

24. Has anyone seen that movie in thirty years? And wasn't there a flying boat in "The Mummy Returns?"

Or did I misremember that?

[azmouse]

25. hmmm... I believe you're right.

And it did happen in the desert so it would qualify.

[taterguy]

28. If I wanted to know which movies feature boats in the dessert I would have started a thread about it

:mad:

:mad:

:mad:

[azmouse]

33. Boats in the 'dessert'?

Is that like a banana split boat? ;P




:hi: mmmm... dessert!

[taterguy]

38. A simple PM informing me that I made a spelling mistake would have sufficed

But nooooooooo

You had to call me out in publick and mock me

even more :mad:

Even more :mad:

Even more :mad:

[azmouse]

39. but... but... I'm just helping to kick your thread.

And ya gotta admit, that banana split DID look good! :D

[taterguy]

40. I'm not a fan of adding fruits to deserts

What's the point of adding something healthy to something you're supposed to enjoy?

[jobycom]

46. yeah, right. In the Lounge? If your fly is unzipped, we will take out an ad, Pal.

:)

[SacredCow]

17. I'd rock the boat...

(don't rock the boat, baby)

[hamsterjill]

26. Lyle Lovett - Kiss my ass, I bought a boat, I'm going out to sea

One of my favorite songs for some unknown reason, probably because my favorite part is the one about Tonto!!!



If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

If I were Roy Rogers
I'd sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
It'd just be me and trigger
We'd go riding through them movies
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go wherever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

[SacredCow]

27. Come Sail Away?

Im sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
Ive got to be free, free to face the life thats ahead of me
On board, Im the captain, so climb aboard
Well search for tomorrow on every shore
And Ill try, oh lord, Ill try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But well try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

[hamsterjill]

30. Oh, another great one!!!

I remember where *I* was once when that song was playing!!!! LOL

[Orsino]

65. I figured someone would have beaten me to this one.

Great song.

[Redneck Socialist]

66. That line gets a big cheer when he does that song in concert.

One of my favs too.

[Deep13]

18. row it around the pond in the summer. nt

[jobycom]

20. Whatever floated it. nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. Drift away --

Give me the beat boys...and free my soul

http://www.youtube.com/v/zaPnOASOWIU&hl=en&fs=1

[Iggo]

23. Sell my boat.

:P

[flvegan]

29. Harass Japanese whalers.

I'd have to amass a crew of 20 volunteers first. Oh, and there's that whole "learn how to pilot a big boat like that".

I should probably learn how the damn thing works, too.

[taterguy]

49. I've got just the boat for that job!

I'll run down to the store pick up a copy of Battleship Piloting for Dummies.

[flvegan]

54. How much will she set me back?

[taterguy]

57. Depends on what option package you get

The plane's extra.

But the undercoating is worth it

[Dora]

31. I'd go out on the water.

[Shardik]

32. I'd be Travis McGee!

RIP, John D. McDonald.

[Ptah]

76. Excellent!

Thanks for reminding me of those stories.

:thumbsup:

[WinkyDink]

34. Sell it.

[Arugula Latte]

35. I'd rock your gypsy soul and sail into the mystic

[Drunken Girlfriend]

36. Re:Boats

If I had a boat,I would try to sell it for extra cash.

I can't swim,not too fond of the water,so a boat
would be useless for someone like me.lol

[MrCoffee]

37. Trailer it out in front of my house so everyone would know I was Cool Boat-Guy

[MineralMan]

41. Right now? Use it as a sled, I guess.

My boat is frozen to the ground right now. Maybe about May 1, I'll be able to use it again. Fishing.

[old mark]

42. Sell it. nt

[kentauros]

43. I'd trade it in for a quadracycle!

:D

[PVnRT]

44. Conquer Monaco

[YellowRubberDuckie]

45. If we had a boat, I would not be living in Oklahoma...

...working for a Bank. While I love my job, I would rather be out on the ocean writing, taking pictures, just enjoying my life. My husband would revel in being able to just sail and do what he wanted to do. He'd spend most of his time playing with the weather machines on the boat. Cause that's how he rolls.
Duckie

[JitterbugPerfume]

47. I would paint it green

and use a yellow sail

Then I would stand back and admire it for a while

[Strong Atheist]

48. Probably get in an accident or get lost. The accident rate

for boats is horrendous, probably because most people who get them think that operating a boat is as easy as operating a car...

[fizzgig]

50. probably sell it

we're landlocked and i don't have anything with which to tow it to the reservoir or lake, so a boat does me no good

[Bertha Venation]

51. Float.

[bigwillq]

52. Drink a ton of beer

and fish. :)

Just lounge! :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

53. Go fishing with my goat in the moat.

[XemaSab]

55. I heard about these folks who sailed around the world looking at birds

They'd go somewhere, dock, bird around for a few weeks, then sail somewhere else.

I thought that sounded like kind of a sweet gig. :D

[taterguy]

67. I took this pic of a bird while riding on a boat.

The boat didn't belong to me.

It was a ferry owned by the state of North Carolina

[RagAss]

56. Same as I do now....

Get drunk and screw.

[alarimer]

58. If I had a boat, I'd go out on the ocean.

If I had a pony, I'd ride him on my boat.

[taterguy]

64. Ever try to put a life-jacket on a pony?

It's a pain in the ass

[kwassa]

59. A boat is a hole in the ocean we throw money into.

We have a boat.

It is rarely used and costs us marina fees.

Wonderful in concept, impractical in execution. Better to rent a boat when the urge to sail comes on us, much more economical.

[DarkTirade]

60. Avast! Prepare to be boarded!

[PaddyBlueEyes]

61. sail to 'sconi

[sakabatou]

62. Sell it

[Jamastiene]

63. Float like crazy.

I'm much too lazy to paddle, but I do love the feeling of being on the water.

[crimsonblue]

68. I'd break it down and use it for firewood.

[SergeyDovlatov]

69. rent it out and use the proceeds to

rent a plane and fly around

[dawgmom]

70. Sell it. We DO have a boat

And I would sell the damn thing, if Dawgdad would agree. As someone famously said once:
"A boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into."

[DS1]

71. be one of those choadhammers that pulls their boat up to the pier

in town, and proceeds to BBQ with his gut hanging out all over the place

[JVS]

72. His guy hanging out all over them place?

You mean like with his zipper down and his penis hanging out. That's pretty bad behavior.

[Mendocino]

73. I have an Old Town canoe

but I wish I had a sea kayak so I could follow the shoreline of Lake Superior from Duluth to the Soo. One of these days.

[leeroysphitz]

74. I should know. I'm a medical doctor. I own a mansion and a yacht. n/t

[Withywindle]

75. Live in it!

And teach my cat how to help me fish. :D

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

77. Why, put a dog on it and sail around, of course!

[Generic Brad]

78. I'm going to need a bigger boat

One can never have a big enough boat.

[Inchworm]

79. Hop on it, skid the ocean, and leave without a sound

live on an island, fish the pylons, drink my green label each day, write memoirs, lose my hearing and not care what most say.

I'd pick someone up first of course ;)

[dysfunctional press]

80. hijack a tanker ship in the gulf of aden...i hear there's good money in it.

actually- LOTS of scuba.
