That was directed at Booger a.k.a. Karl the 2nd, the distance racing virgin.
Ding has , at least, been there.

Paddling!?! kiss, I'm out. The only paddle I'm any good with is wrapped in leather and studded.
On second thought, I'm back in. Time for y'all to be really afraid.

She won't get pissed, but I do see her shaking her head and mumbling under her breath about all the lunatics on the beach. And Tawd....you fall squarely in the middle of that group, so don't start getting all high-and-mighty on me now!

Only in the middle?
You never struck me as the leather and whip kinda guy. You've changed.

What happened to us?

I can't wait for the Steeplechase to be over so this thread goes away. You can tell winter is coming.
Karl the sick one glad you are back with us.

Tawd, I might just drug you, and drop your naked butt off in Hialeah for entertainment. Or worse. South Beach on Versace's steps. Yeah, that kind of scared.

The only good news is, I'll be unarmed, so South Beach is more likely.

Why they call them roofies? More floories

The bad news is I won't...
I can definitely make a couple of bucks off of you in Key West.
I do wonder why you seem to know a bunch of gay hotspots.

Sorry Dave, But ya gotta admit this is way more entertaining than political, Olympic, or US ailing threads.

That's always the problem with modern flying, you gotta check that stuff. Lame. Think they'll let me bring an Estwing? Probably not.

I know all the HHS (Homo Hot Spots), from your Facebook upgaytes, err updates.

Sweet bumbling baby jeebus, I'm ready to get my skinny butt on the plane and pour a rum drink that makes Karl1 faint. Hear that skip? Hit the liquor box, and have Beth give you a ride to the store when you're done!

Even a whole chicken is kind of lame these days...as far as farm animals go....from what I've heard.

Allright boyz.

Who wants to put a bottle of fine rum where their mouth is?
If you don't know what a good bottle of rum is, I'll ask Gordon to give us a list of acceptable rums. (let me just say - Bacardi and the Captain aren't on the list)

Everyone donates a bottle of rum, and F18 winner collects them all...

Captain 100 - neat. All you need is some sort of container. Doesn't even have to be clean <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />

Really rooting for you guys (didn't get kitchen pass this time...), but hope that Karl the first has sorted out those spin pole issues.

Karl (we'll just call you

number two

) you didn't know paddling was part of this? With Jewfish, Angelfish, and those mangrove cuts, you'd better practice!

Is this for the F-18 fleet (you know, all the loud mouths) or the whole group?

I would prefer pitching in $10 for one bottle of rum to the winner. Not sure what I'd do with a whole bunch of bottles of rum.

I think Karl has the right idea, put in some money, because with this crowd of pansies the winner will end up with a bunch of bottles of spiced rum. Krantz would get it right and Ding definitely would but...
Here's a news flash for the rest of you REAL RUM IS NOT SPICED RUM. Spiced rum is for the ladies(Yes even Sailor Jerry,just harder core ladies)in the same vain that Southern comfort is effeminate (Not a REAL bourbon in case you are wondering).
Crap made in Puerto Rico is the Chinese equivalent to rum.It does make a good carburetor cleaner though.
This site http://www.ministryofrum.com/ can help you to become a better person.Repent now and learn the error of your ways.
I'm too broke to drink good rum regularly, so Cruzan dark is my choice. Seeing how this is the first time I've sailed my C-2 all of this probably won't mater a bit to me, but I feel it's my duty to right the wrongs in the rum aisle.

+1, although some of those

Aged

rums aren't all they tout in terms of flavor. Most are smooth, but more oak tasting than one would expect.

I like mine mellow with a hint of vanilla, typically from medium char barrels about 5 years.

You know you can make your own (legally):

Buy a small wooden cask (about $100 from a wine/homebrew site). You pick the char level, but I'd stay with light/medium since the hold time for such a small cask is about 6 months vs. 2 years (greater % by volume in contact with wood)

Buy 5 gallons of ethanol (strong vodka) and run it through a carbon (water) filter about 4-5 times. Since you've already paid the ATF tax (and you aren't distilling it yourself) you're good to go

Drop that bad boy in the cask and let it sit for a few months.

Some people sell a packet of

stuff

you toss in there too, to mimic the aged rum taste, but that's for beginners <img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />

Instead, buy a small amount of really good burbon and pour about 1/2 cup in the mix. Reasoning, of course, that most rum barrels started out as Whiskey/Burbon barrels that are used once and 'recycled' to other distillers.

I'm a Curzan dark fan myself...but the Puerto Ricans have more rum making experience than anyone. Although they do make most of the base rums used in everything from Bacardi, Diageo (Captain), etc. - they keep the good stuff for themselves. I've done a couple of manufacturing jobs down there and the client has gifted me some of the good stuff...that was...gooooood.

I'm a huge fan of Seven Tiki. Its about the only rum I've really liked. Gives me nasty heartburn though.

Any chance someone needs last minute crew?

Would love to do this race again, and I'm tentatively planning to be in FL the following week. I'll bring rum.
