Good luck pulling that thing off.
I wonder how the hell did they get it on top in the first place, crane?

America's Cup News

Flash: "Larry moves the Cup again!" Read all about it at Scuttlebutt Sailing News. Your reliable news source.

Her Majesty The Queen will not be amused. 

Coming To A Blog Near You: Frozen.

Baydog Accuses Larry Of Being A Traitor! Let's Examine The Facts.

Flag of Sir Ben.
Saviour of America! (I thought we fought a war with these blokes?)

Flag of Russell Coutts and some of "Team USA."
New Zealand - Commonwealth member.

Flag of Jimmy Spithill and most of "Team USA."
Australia - Commonwealth member. Hm, I beginning to sense a pattern.

Flag of the Lord of Lanai, aka Larry Ellison
Hawaii - "Discovered" by Captain Cook who ended up getting conked on the head after attempting to kidnap his host, King Kalaniʻōpuʻu. Never bite the hand that feeds you!

Flag of the home of the next America's Cup.
Bermuda - British Overseas Territory. Larry's next purchase....oh wait, they'll let him have it for free. Cheerio!

Verdict: Benedict Arnold! He too pretended to be a patriot.

I serve at the pleasure of Her Majesty The Queen.
If we don't have Americans on Team USA, then we don't have to defend the America's Cup in America.

Baydog Barks, "What About Barnegat Bay?"

Tsk, tsk, tsk....Baydog, Baydog, Baydog...it's in New Jersey!
Larry doesn't do the Jersey shore, wrong kind of rum drinks.

My Gosh, There's No Place To Sail In The USA.

Long Beach, no way!

San Francisco, are you kidding me? (Those guys supported the Kiwis.)

Miami, shiami!

Newport, really? Why on earth we hold an event there? I think someone calling himself the Tillerman lives there, god no!

How about Buzzards Bay? That's a no go!

Hawai'i? The Shogun owns one of her islands. Sorry, they serve Mai Tais, the wrong rum drink.

Key West! Who in their right mind would hold a sailing race off of a tiny island?

San Diego. Egads, the home of Dennis Connor! You need to see a shrink.

Fish On Fridays?

So we've heard about how fluids can have different viscosities and Newtonian fluids have constant viscosities, where as non-Newtonian fluids have viscosities that change depending on the shear rate or speed with which the object lives through them. Okay, that makes sense.......Go Fish!

Apparently in the future we are going to have micro robots swimming around inside of us with the mission to rid us of bad things. One application discussed is the repair of our eyes. The micro-scallops will gleefully swim in our eye fluid and zap any distortions that they find on the eyeball. Take that Cataract!

We have travelled a long way since scracthing fleas from our hairy bodies on those hot summer nights around the camp fire on the African veldt. Kumbaya!

Wow, tough boat!

I'm A Monkey!

Simian spotted hanging out on the foredeck of a boat in the parking lot of the Bay View Boat Club.

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true
I'm a cold Italian pizza
I could use a lemon squeezer
Would you do?
But I've been bit and I've been tossed around
By every she-rat in this town
Have you, babe?
Well, I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey woman too
I was bitten by a boar
I was gouged and I was gored
But I pulled it on through
Yes, I'm a sack of broken eggs
I always have an unmade bed
Don't you?
Well, I hope we're not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues
Well I am just a monkey man
I'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey man
I'm a monkey... - Rolling Stones

Thank you to all the consultants who put me and my colleagues through hours of torturous meetings listening to doublespeak. It was time and money well spent.

The Master!

Max, Dr Who's arch enemy does sail a Laser and he bears any uncanny resemblance to the late Roger Delgado.

Has The Tillerman Taken Up Fishing?

The Tillerman takes a spin in his new Laser Giraffe.
Gee whiz, it sure looks like him.
