278.0. "RECREATIONAL BOATING" by CIM::BROWN () Thu Jun 21 1990 13:48

    
    We have the ultimate in recreational boating in the Detroit area.
    A Windsor Canada person has just been granted a license to operate
    a "STRIP SHIP" on the Detroit river.  They will have nude women and
    men dancing on the ship.
    
    The owner is to begin operation next week.  The ship will be outfitted
    with curtains to keep other ships on the river from looking in.
    
    
    The U.S. officials have stated that if the ship strays into U.S.
    waters they will sieze the ship.
    
    Table dancing should be interesting in rough water.  Might end
    up with a dancer in your lap.  Also,  most of the dancers in
    Windsor are from Montreal.

Phil --

Can you book some reservations?  

I believe the Chainsaw, Hawk, Slasher, Mike Childs, Dickster,
and JoSS should all check this recreational boat out.

You know, we could kind of give it the SPORTS Seal of Approval.

278.4July 3rd voyage $5 costCIM::BROWNFri Jun 22 1990 08:3514
    
    Just an update on the Strip Ship.  The owner was on talk radio
    yesterday afternoon.  The maiden voyage is July 3rd.  To get to
    the ship you must take a shuttle boat.  The shuttle leaves at regular
    intervals so you can get on/off of the ship almost  anytime.  The
    cost is $5.00 and the ship holds 340 passengers.  Male strippers will
    be on the bottom deck the female strippers one deck up.  No
    comments about the last sentence.  The owner is planning on keeping the
    clientele separate.  IE:  If you are male you can't accompany your
    significant other to the male stripper deck.  The owner said that
    he has been on the phone all day to talk radio hosts from all over
    the U.S.

�        $100.00 says they can't keep Wardle off the bottom deck.


No bet. Jim's too fast for `em. Blazing speed. Faster than a speeding
   pullet (which is a racing chicken, I think), more powerful than the
   Locomotion (by Little Eva), able to leap (and so on and so forth).

    So true about WarbleVane.  Ever had him check you in hoops?  I dunno,
    but he kept bumping me with his pelvic area and groaning, but I keep
    a positive mental attitude and have to assume that he did these things
    cuz he was so beat and losing so badly...

    >able to leap
    
    Uh, Mike, I certainly hope you weren't talking about both his 
    Converses out of contact with the ground simultaneously here,
    cuz that ain't happened that I ever seed.
    
    re: pleasure boating
    
    Back in the 20s and 30s they used to have big gambling pleasure 
    ships offshore from LA.  Armed thugs operated the motor boats.
    They stayed just beyond what then was the 12 mile limit.  Used to
    offer, ahhhh, a "full service" menu of offerings and customer 
    satisfaction was key.
    
    The artists are mostly from Montreal, huh?  I've been ther oncet
    and I think I know what you're getting at there...

    You, Mr. T(ank), first of all I don't wear Converse hoop shoes.
    Secondly, if anyone suffers the dreaded WMD, it's you. You
    could/should/would be the poster boy for that particular ailment.
    
    As for bumping you in the pelvic area, that was just me trying to get
    around your ever so portly figure.
    
    Funny about that figure of yourn...all I could think of was bartlet
    pears.

    Anyone (Boston area) see the news last night regarding the boating
    accident in Dunstable, MA?  Apparently, there was a head on collision
    involving 2 boats, one of which was speeding excessively.  The speeding
    boat, on impact, was launched over the other boat, decapitating a
    woman.  The Channel 5 news crew later made sure to pan the camera over
    the decapitated woman's boat, revealing the blood spatterings.  Then,
    they showed the divers who were searching for "remains" and other
    pieces of evidence........  Nice job, Channel 5.  :-(

Sorta related:

	For all you motorcyclists out there....

	I was talking wif a friend of mine who's a cop, and she
	was tellin me that new research has indicated that the
	riding position on a sportbike is safer than a typical
	street bike, because when someone cuts you off and you
	plow into them, the riding position on the sportbike
	produces a launch angle that will throw you over the
	car.

	Course if the stupid car driver is stickin' his haid
	outta the window, he could get de-cappa-taited too....

278.13Hey Ma, watch me fly!SASE::SZABOMon Jul 09 1990 10:2121
    Speaking of being "launched" over a car, I can speak from
    experience......
    
    Saturday morning, May 19, 1979, ~10:30 in the a.m., driving through
    Lowell, MA on my Honda 360CL.  I cautiously approach a notoriously
    dangerous intersection, blinking yellow in my favor, car stopped on the
    street to my left due to blinking red + stop sign.  As I proceed to
    cross intersection, bimbo to the left of me darts out into the
    intersection.  Honda hits bimbomobile broadside.  The H�wkster flies
    over bimbomobile like a Wallenda and is knocked semi-conscious.  Still
    seeing stars in the emergency room, I am fitted with a chest brace for
    the 4 broken ribs and a shoulder harness for the broken collarbone. 
    Hours later, as I'm resting comfortably thanks to a shot of synthetic
    morphine (great stuff!) but breathing very labored, Dr. Scalpel_In_Hand
    forces tube in my chest to reinflate the lung punctured by the broken
    ribs.  "Ouch" I cried.  And I did cry.  Then I got another shot of
    synthetic morphine, and a smile returned to my pained face......  :-)
    
    Then I sued the bitch.  :-)
