Title: I might be getting a sunfish!
Post by: Unknown Target on August 07, 2003, 10:25:16 pm: I found a sunfish on a beach, and it looks to have been there for awhile. Anyways, me + little bro are going to check it out tommorow, along with a small catamaran. I'm wondering what to name them. I was thinking the Actium and the Lysander :D

Post by: Unknown Target on August 07, 2003, 10:47:25 pm: Doubt it. All the metal parts on the boats are rusting over, and the only path that leads to the boat is all over-grown with casha bush (think big. fuccking. thorns)

Post by: redsniper on August 07, 2003, 10:48:59 pm: well, have fun then. Just hope you don't run into any boats named Ravana...

Post by: Stryke 9 on August 07, 2003, 10:51:53 pm: Man, what's the fun of those sailboats, anyway? I mean, yeah, catmarans are kinda cool just because you can't tip 'em and they pretty much go anywhere, but sunfish? Just get a motorboat. Or, better yet, a pirate galleon and a few dozen slaves chained to the oars! Yeah! AHARR, MATEY!

mmh, if you find a black case with transparent packs containing white powder in it, or if there's a beheaded corpse burried next to it, I suggest you leave that nice lil' boat alone :p

Post by: Unknown Target on August 08, 2003, 10:17:47 am: Lol. Anyways, we checked the serial #, and we have to put an ad in the paper about it, etc. If the owner doesn't respond, both boats are mine :D

Hey, if you do find a case, send it my way, I could easily dispose of it for you with a nice tidy amount for you in the deal ;)

Post by: Unknown Target on August 08, 2003, 01:18:11 pm: Doesn't look much like a sun or moon for that matter :doubt:
Title: I might be getting a sunfish!
Post by: Stealth on August 08, 2003, 02:40:50 pm: it's not called "Sunfish" because of the way it looks, it got its name because it comes to the surface often and lies on one side to soak up the sun

Post by: Unknown Target on August 09, 2003, 06:12:36 pm: w00t! We just pulled it out of that place, and put it on one of the boat trailers we had at my house :D

It's a beut, that she is. But I'm telling you, fitting a 10-foot sunfish into a 5 by 5 truckbed while going over a bumpy, wet, unpaved road is definately NOT easy :D
But it's heeeere, oh, oh, oh, it's heeeeeeeeeeeeeere! :D
