Stop shrink wrapping your boats in plastic every year. I’m sure it protects them, is cheaper than a custom cover and probably feels like you’re opening the world’s largest Christmas present every Spring but it’s a heck of a lot of plastic being thrown out (hopefully recycled) every year. —Wish I Had a Boat To Unwrap

  1. Tell you what sport, when you own a boat you can do whatever the eff you want to with it. Leave it in the middle of the Arm and let it return to the nature from whence it came, for all I care. What other people do with their property is none, repeat, none of your fucking concern.
    Capisce?

  2. Hey OP? Look at your signature: ‘Wish I Had a Boat To Unwrap’. Need I say more? Jealousy, the green eyed monster has struck AGain!!!!

  3. Hey, what happened to the “Do it on the Bus” thread? It seems to have vanished. Anyway ya’ll better stop complaining about people leaving their shit on the seats if you don’t want any solutions. I remember when I took the bus some twenty years ago, you could take your Tims on the bus and then suddenly MT banned all beverages. I couldn’t take my Tims on board but buddy could take his golf clubs! Where’s the fairness in that?
    Reduced or no fair for standing up and not taking a seat sounds like another possible solution to free up some seats. Of course the bag would be extra! 😉
    Shrink-wrapping your boat? If the plastic is recycled when removed there’s no issue. You said it yourself OP. Maybe they should shrink-wrap the seats on the bus. That way you could take a beverage on board. Just remove the plastic at the end of the day and there you have it, seats as clean as a whistle. The plastic gets recycled of course.
    You see, solutions are what we’re about here.

  4. Hmmm, what happened to the Bus bitch. Was that the one Boru lost it on again? And wasn’t that like the I’m Stupid Bitch? Very odd indeed.

  5. It’d line mine with the heads of baby seals.
    They’d help buffer it from smacking into the dock…
    and make it pretty, of course.
    I mean who doesn’t like baby seal heads?
    It’s the cutest part of the seal.

    Mr. You seem to have a hate on for me.What did I ever do to you?

  7. Op, the giant shrink wrap is 100% recycleable, and unlike your babies diapers and your hamburger wraps, it doesnt end up in the landfill.

  8. You called me a piece of rat shit in your drunken rage. Then the list of accusations after that…… I can’t bring myself to even type them now.

    That’s what you did, oh, and annoy the mod all the time.

    What GV said.

    Think of the products that would be necessary to get the boats ready for sailing if they weren’t covered the way they are.

  10. when i had my old converted cape boat, the le homme, i used canvas to cover it for the winter. and in the spring, it was covered in all kinds of shit that had to be removed by hand. not the least was mould.
    there is an advantage to shrink wrap as you call it. it helps keep expensive boats safer from the salt air, sprays, and just everyday pollutetants that float freely around this province. it costs me in one year, close to 2 grand, just to scrape the mould, and then repaint the areas affected. talk to someone at the yacht club, they will tell you all kinds of horror stories.

  11. I’m shaken by that visual Zed. Have mercy for the young pinnipeds. I’m starting to have doubts you recycle your shrink wrap properly.

  12. They’re recycling their plastic, don’t worry.

    Worry more about all the sour grapes you’re pissing.
