I don't usually do this, but just this once, I'll let you peek behind the curtain...

The "cousin" story is a metaphor. In that metaphor, your pal is the guy getting laid (metaphorical for the "going fast in the boat") the cousin is the little buzz-boat. It's supposed to illustrate the rather unfulfilling experience of doing something that on paper might be really great but in fact, is exceedingly lame.

No, I won't tell you what the big words mean. You have to do some of the work for yourself.

Thanks for the English 101!!! Non of my professors ever used the "cousin" metaphor.......


Never said that he was my pal either.......... But I did go to meet him and check out his boat project........

But with a single small block and pump gas. Imagine the looks on people's faces when I cruise up with all that canvas and everything, people standing around on the aft deck, and sitting in those big white deck chairs. No exhaust sound whatsoever. Pure Stealth.
Then I nail it and we are off. 30, then 40, Surprise. 50, you are pushing hard on the sticks, but there I am, right there on your port grinning at you. 60, you can't believe your eyes. 70, and that whole big cow is out of the water and on top of the chop. 80 our faces are flapping in the wind, fenders blown back straight. Now THAT would be a sleeper. Sleeps about 5 I think. I think I will have glassdave put a hot paintjob on it though, and put it on a Myco.

Help me out TD.
That is absolute classic Fund.

Yep, threads like this are the reason I keep coming back to this place everyday.

Kinda like boning your second cousin, isn't it? I mean, she's an easy lay because she's kinda plump and a dog, but she knows you won't go telling it around and she wants to get boned. So she's gonna' give it up. But in the end, you still porked your cousin.

Or am I missing something?
Right up there with Fund's post.

Question

I might as well ask,

Would this forum like to see the pics of the Sting Ray ?

I am looking into doing a photo shoot of the boat.

Inside and out as well as when it makes its hi-speed pass.
