I've heard that Fiberglass Worms are TERRIBLE this time of year.



Isn't an upside down US Flag a universal sign of distress? Call it anonymously from a pay phone and make a fool out of them.

it's a sign of National defeat, and thats why i'm sick of looking at it.


and for those who were questioning, yes, it's an American flag up side-down

Is it on the boat or attached to a pole that has fallen down?

Have a Vetrans party in your back yd. They'll know how to take of it and you are not involved. :D

Or maybe the lady that hung it was blonde. So while leaning over to hang it, it was upright. :p

Flying the Flag upside down is a distress signal, call the Coast Guard, they will set them straight

I had a guy in my marina"that I own" do that , right after 911, I just took it down and away and told him if he ever did it again "he was gone!! I still have it.

if it is within throwing distance, gas bomb it...Better yet go to the local pound and collect all the dog sheet put it in paper bags light it on fire and throw it all over the boat. When he runs out to tell ya to stop knock him unconscious and have your way anally with his wife...............sorry i am blocking let me really tell ya how a feel..............

If you put them into a plastic bag, they'll work under water. :D

Can't say what you should do.....but I would do SOMETHING!!!. Cut the flag down, cut the boat loose, call the C.G. all sound good. Please pick something and DO IT!!!

Re: What would you do?
 
I agree with t500hps... it's time to do something! Be smart & act quick.

The flag has been removed at 5:00 this morning

Good Job! Sounds like it was done more diplomaticly than I would have done it! :drink: :p

sink it!

Re: What would you do?
 
looks like a opportunity for a stealth commando raid, problem is, you have to make sure he knows WHY the commando raid was undertaken.....

now in a good old fashion B movie we would see the commandos swim the lagoon, board the boat in the middle of the night undetected, take the flag down from the banister, and fly it up right in the main cabin area with a few instructions on how to fly a flag spray painted on the inside of the cock pit area....

or maybe tied to the antenna as the drain plugs are pulled and sea strainers opened so that when the boat sank the only think left above water was the flag....

Sounds like a cool movie to me, I know a good camera man.......

Chill out! Maybe the guy is just an idiot! If I have to guess, I would say that he is more stupid than evil. :p

Just knock on his door and tell him that there is something wrong with his boat. Then inform him that flag in upside down. Either he will fix it or not.

flip the flag right side up. Just don't disocnnnect it from the pole first.
