To the guy whose sailboat is just sitting there at the bottom of the Arm. Many people would love to have and take care of that beautiful sailboat you just neglected and let die. Every time I drive by it pisses me off. Get your boat out of the water and give the boat to someone who will care for it. And if you can’t afford to get it out offer it up to someone who can. I don’t just leave my car in the middle of the road. Asshole. —Pissed Sailor

When a car breaks thru the ice, the owner is responsible for removing it. If the dont, envirement canada will remove it and will send you the bill.
If there is a boat at the bottom of the arm, i hope someone will be getting a huge bill for its removal

Apparently, the port authority DOES know who the owner is and are trying to locate them.
Whoever it is, they should definately be made to pay any salvage costs and environmental penalties, (I’m assuming it has an auxillary engine onboard, as most larger sailboats do), not to mention fined for creating a serious boating hazard.
I also think 20 lashes at dawn while strapped to the mizzen would be well justified just for the blatant act of neglect and the sacrilege of letting this beautiful sloop flounder.
the worst one is the boat that is down by purcell’s cove. it is a miniture of the bluenose. fucking shame that it sunk. i smell insurance job here tho. i used to know the guy that had it about 20 years ago,gay guy, not sure if he still owns it or not.
but the other boat, the guy lives someplace stateside i think. you could salvage it yourself, and hold a lein on it o.p.
it isn’t that hard to do, all you have to do is hook a tow line up to it, and winch it close enough to shore, to empty water out. it will start to float again, and then you can work on it. my old caper,”le homme”, went down in a storm in lunenburg, back in 95. she had her side bashed out by the waves and a stone jetty she was moored against. at the boatyard i rented space from.
that boat sat there for more than 6 years without maintainence. its a wooden hull so salvaging it is pretty far fetched. your better off buying a new boat then throwing money away fixing that one up. last time I saw it floating it was covered in moss, so I dont think its worth fixing up. there may abe a winch or some rigging worth a couple of bucks, but not much I say.
“you could salvage it yourself, and hold a lein on it o.p.”
No they can’t. In the article I posted, port authority spokeswoman Michele Peveril says, “At the moment, it is private property,”
I think there may be an amendment to the “private property” law that goes:
Section 4.3.ii – Finder’s Keeper’s, Loser’s Weeper’s. 😉
Besides, private propert or not, it’s sunk and abandoned. There must be a statute of limitations on abandoned wreckage, don’t you think?
Seeing he bought the boat why should you worry? Maybe he just wants it exactly where it is. Jeez, mind you biz Buy your own friggen boat if you want one so bad.
BLOW ME – how nice of you to help us identify the owner:
“know the guy that had it about 20 years ago,gay guy, not sure if he still owns it or not.”

R.I.P. Neil >: (
OBERST: Too bad the guy’s vocabulary in that link (newspaper article) was only limited to the F word. It is such a turn off to me that I didn’t even read the article. This article has totally changed my mind on that man and not in a good way.
The Onion is a parody. If you read the transcript in that flat, emotionless deadpan voice that characterizes military radio transmissions it’s even funnier.
By all accounts Neil Armstrong was a brilliant, extremely courageous gentleman of great humility who dedicated his post N.A.S.A. career to education.
I was 8 when men walked on the moon. It’s entrely conceivable that I will still be alive when the last of them have passed away. And that’s just sad.
I’ve shed many strong, manly tears over the loss of Mr. Armstrong this weekend.
Roger, Orgasmatron Base. We copy.
That’s one small ROOOOOO! for (a) man. One Giant ROOOOOOOOOOOO! for mankind.
Give it to someone who will care for it? It’s a fucking boat, not a mail-order bride FFS.

OBEREST: Thanks for clarifying that. In any case the language was a turnoff. Too bad because the article just might have been ok. When will people learn that the f word doesn’t add interest, especially when it is overused. PS: Also please note he was ONLY a man he is NOT God. Whatever.
He may have been “only a man”, but I’m sure he was a far greater man than you’ll ever be.
An extraordinary man, at the head of a long line of extraordinary men who achieved the biggest leap forward for our species since the invention of moveable type.
Well, you may think so, but I am NOT in awe. Sorry, he’s just a man who got to see what outter space was like. Don’t get all bent out of shape ok?
Bah! It was all filmed in a Hollywood soundstage.
An elaborate government hoax.
>:) (avast stirs the pot……then runs!) lol
Meh, at least you’re not some cousin-jumping, mouth-breather who KNOWS it was done on a soundstage – “cuz ya can’t see stars in the pichers, hurr durr.”
“I’ve shed many strong, manly tears over the loss of Mr. Armstrong this weekend.”
Did you know him personally? Were you BFF’s? Gimme a fawkin break dude…all he did was put a flag on the moon. I agree with wogdog, Going to the moon didn’t really make our lives better, just wasted taxpayers money.
RIP and all but – Meh.
Great timing, Vastie – LMFAO >: )
Not too bad, if I do say so myself! lol
(And just for the record, I don’t believe any of that conspiracy crap!)
I just finished looking at some cool shots of the lunar surface taken by the LROC satelite, actually showing the various landing sites. You can still plainly see the lunar module, rover tracks and paths made by the astronauts. Very cool!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Reconna…
Scroll down about half way.
“Gimme a fawkin break dude…all he did was put a flag on the moon.”
lol, just……lol
AVAST: Any chance we could send you there, to the moon, on a one way ticket? You make about as much sense as tits on a bull.
Technologically that should be possible wogdog, considering the fact that you are successfully transitting from Uranus.
Thanks for the link Vastie. Awesome pics.

The exploration of space is responsible for so many scientific breakthroughs I don’t even know where to begin.
What part are you having trouble understanding, Wog? Are we posting too fast or maybe you’re just reading too fast. Maybe I can help put it into terms you can understand.
The talk about the Hollywood soundstage is because there are a group of people out there that believe the moon landings never happened and it was all an elaborate hoax, filmed in a movie studio. I sarcastically mentioned this in my post above. Coincidentally and at the same time, Ivan posted a response to you with something to the same affect. He noticed the coincidence and commented on it. (Great timing, Vastie). I agreed with him and then stated that for the record I didn’t believe the conspiracy theories regarding the moon landings. I then posted a link to a site with pictures of the moon’s surface that showed the actual landing sites and the equipment left behind. (Are you still with me Wog? Try and keep up)
In the meantime, No_Fool made a comment about Neil Armstrong, saying that all he did was plant a flag on the moon’s surface. I quoted her comment (hence the quotation marks ” ), and laughed. (note: lol is chat/text abbreviation for “laughing out loud”)
You then offered to send me to the moon because I don’t make any sense….(which, in itself, doesn’t make any sense.)
But you seemed a little lost, so, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and transcribed the last few posts to help bring you up to speed.
You’re welcome.
Gazmo, you can begin with dehydrated steak and potatoes… and recycled urine.
that kinda thinking is unreal!
and TANG!!!
Oops. You already said “recycled urine” lol
A man walks on the moon. Big. Deal. Free trip to the moon. Big. Deal. Crying man tears all weekend: Effed Up!!!
Awww fuck it….I’ll feed the trolls(narrow minded vacuous half-wits).

“A man walks on the moon. Big. Deal. Free trip to the moon. Big. Deal.”
http://www.spaceexplorationday.us/benefits…
This will probably fall on deaf ears. There ARE some big words on this site.
“Today, over 30,000 aerospace techniques are benefiting many areas of concern to mankind.” – All due to the space program.
I dunno, but that sounds like a pretty big frickin’ deal to me.
Absolutely correct Vastie. And to those whose knowledge of science and technology extends beyond pressing a button and yelling “large double- double” into a speaker – getting 12 men to the surface of the moon and bringing them back again – is a very big deal, indeed.
benefits of satelites and nukes?? and other expensive shit that is not worth a damn. I’m with wogs, he’s just a man not a God people. A person you didn’t even care existed until he croaked. Remember how much people LOVED michael jackson when he died? Give it up, cry baby.
you’ve confirmed every notion I had of you.
I’m willing to bet your gps is going to lead you off a cliff one day soon.
I’ll bet her cellphone is made from a coconut, Gilligan’s Island style.
And comparing a Naval Aviator, Korean War veteran, X-15 Test Pilot and first Human Being to set foot on another celestial body to the shucking, jiving, putrefied corpse of a pedophile is crepuscular thinking at it’s highest.
Chalk up another victory to the Jennie Crack Diet Plan
hmmm. Satelites described as expensive shit, not worth a damn. Huh!
Remember that the next time you you’re enjoying your Jerry/Maury/Dr. Phil/Dr. Oz/*enter innane white-trash daytime talkshow title here*, as the satelite beams the signal to your service provider.
OR the next time you look at Google Maps/Earth
OR the next time you decide to check the weather forecast.
When those satellites start falling out of outer space, as we’ve been warned by the news media, you’ll have to run for your life and hope a piece don’t hit ya. Of course then again Oberst, if one hits you, it might knock a bit of sense into you.
“Day-UM. Silly muhfuggahs can spend billions putting bling in space but ya still cain’t git 6 strollers on a Metro Transit ‘cordion bus? Well, ya can so long as dumbass driva keep his mouf shut an’ his eyes on de road. I say, Day-UM.”
I was wrong about Gilligan’s Island. She no doubt thinks her i-phone contains a prehistoric katydid that carves her text onto a stone tablet and then flies it to the recipient in finest Flintstone style.
Wog, I’m prepared for every eventuality:

I dont use dem brain cancer causing cell phones or GPS systems. I’m a woman and can follow directions. We got along fine before all this technology. Dis darkside bitch got no need for your bullshit hipster gadgets. All them satellites n shit watching over you like big brother flowing radiation into your skulls have gone and made you stupid. Wogs you’re right, its only a matter a time till one a dem come crashin down on your heads. One giant step for mankind – in the wrong direction.
“We got along fine before all this technology. Dis darkside bitch got no need for your bullshit hipster gadgets.”
Fuckin’ FINALLY!
Very good. Please turn in your computer and all peripherals as you exit. Don’t forget to pick up your complimentary butter churn before you leave.
I know you didn’t just pull the “We got along fine before all this technology” argument.
So you farm your own food… shit in a hole you’ve dug… ride a horse wherever you need to go… churn by hand the inevitable 8 pounds of butter your fat ass consumes daily….
now we all see you for the idiotic troll you really are.
Note to mention – when you hold your Brown Bess in that sideways, ghetto style grip, all the powder falls out of the pan and then you look a proper cunt.
lolz @ the counter-enlightenment comments, took me a bit to make up my mind….

…just being stupid.
A study of girls ages 8 to 12 has suggested that those who spend more time using multimedia devices may be less happy and socially comfortable than those who are offline more. I wonder, were they on the LTWWB site?
Lately there has been a backlash against technology. According to USA today, at least 29 million U.S.
adults quit using the Net this year.
Media urges people to use new communication tools as a means to “work and read and watch faster,” then use the extra time to explore the real world instead of killing time with an endless cycle of content consumption
For all the modern conveniences technology extends to us, technology hurts us the most. Especially when we use and abuse it as a means of circumventing life, let alone the life abundant. When secular sources decry the effects of video games and porn, you know it’s getting serious.
“May we learn wisdom in your engagements with people and technology. May we fight for a generation content with binding old yearnings to new toys. May we live the gospel in a way that demonstrates the richness of intimacy, community, and vocation. May we see and help others see what’s real.”
I don’t need all those laptops and
cell phones and Palm Pilots. I don’t need a
BMW or a dream house full of tech toys.
Technology is a
tool to make things, to create something of
lasting value. It’s not meant to control my life.
I won’t let it enslave me.
See what technology has done? You just wasted another 5 minutes of your life reading this comment.
Time for me to get off this fury box and let the rain kiss my eyelids, the wind dance through my hair and the grass tickle my feet ahhh 🙂
See ya Later masturbaters!
O My No Fool you are NO FOOL. You got enough info in your last post to shut them all up. Yup go play with your toys boys, the techno ones and the no dick ones!!!!!
“See ya Later masturbaters!”
In a while, sack o’ bile.
Keep cultivating that rich inner life.
Wog, it doesn’t matter how far you work your nose up No Fool’s shit chute. Intelligence and wit can’t be transferred from person to person through the digestive tract. But keep trying. Remember – the more exclamation points you use, the more seriously you’ll be taken.
Woggers you must be referring to the BIG TOY that small boys drive, ironically tagged “the Hummer”….(Ironic because those who drive one have probably never received one in their life.)
More irony is the 800 dollar iphone that you can’t afford to use for phone calls. Instead of making a 2 second landline call like us “butter-churners”, they spend 20 minutes texting to relay the same message, while walking into walls or crashing into oncoming vehicles.
Stay tuned for the iphone9 or 12 or 16 or whatever it is now, proven to work 10 times faster and make you 10 times dumber.
Hey when this is built, we can all go and plant a flag on the moon.
http://english.pravda.ru/science/tech/28-0…
Just remember, M doesn’t stand for “Mezzanine”.
Hey OBERST: Looks like I hit a nerve. So which one is it: The little techno toys you think you know how to operate of the ‘no dick’. Yup, my guess is the no dick. Then again you are a Dick so hey, need I say more??
Wog, you couldn’t hit an ant’s nerve with a ten pound sledge hammer on your best day. Now back, to weaving Hemp tampons on your hand powered loom, Goody.*
*That means Good Wife, from ye olde colonial days of yore, and it was a general term of address, not a qualitative assessment.
Hollow moon theory is pretty interesting.Didn’t Neil claim to have seen ships and buildings on the moon later in life?
No.
Ivan, that Brown Bess comment has everyone around me wondering why I can’t stop laughing… truly classic.
I still find it quite ironic that she’s wasting her own time typing out how much she could go without the internet and how she’s wasting our time…
to post it on the internet.
truly a living irony indeed.
I’m wondering if she’s the product of the Michelin man and a dirty hipster’s one night stand.
A pleasure to have served, good sir.
She’s probably caused more impotence in her “community” than all the saltpetre that a certain fried chicken chain supposedly laces it’s product with, in certain “urban” locales.
Because I use multi-syllable words she’s next going to suggest that you and I are poo-pals. At least, that’s how it worked in Grade 10
crap, i knew i shouldn’t have posted that lesbian comment in other post, now they’ll say i’m masculine. i suppose if i hadn’t they’d say i was sucking up to the guys.
damned if i do and damned if i don’t but no friggin way will i sit here and swallow wheat puffs about only guys appreciating the space program or technology. i was in grade 12 when mankind got to the moon and i wept. i stayed up all night to watch it.
technology enables me to work from home instead of shlepping my butt into some nasty office, thereby saving the planet from car emissions. ditto my boss in uruguay, the rest of our IT team in chile, my co workers in denver, toronto, vancouver etc etc etc. it frees up hours of time each day so i can organically compost, do my laundry on a ‘free energy’ clothesline, cook good meals from scratch and properly exercise my dogs. technology means i can train people around the world by webinars, instead of having to fly and pollute the skies. of course, you have to be semi intelligent to appreciate the difference between life enhancing technology and you-tubing mud wrestlers.
