Tilting At Waves

Sparked A Canoeist

Posted by derrick on November 29, 2005


I have to say, I enjoyed reading this conversation
from some UK surfers. . .
“youve got to be f…. kidding . . . canoeists are the scum of the f… earth and should not be given any credibilty from anyone in there right mind”

“everyone to there own …everyone to there own”

“bollox to that ….!!! canoeists ? arre you serious? didnt say that to hitler did they!!! i’d rather be bummed by a body boarder”

“the vast majority of goat boaters dont seem to have a fuggin clue about surf etiquette and sea safety…which is surprising cos it seems like quiet a technical sport..”

“years ago back in the day one of the plymouth heavies sparked a canoeist clean out in the lineup for being an ignorant bastard, got washed to the beach and didnt come back ! bit hard core but vaery funnny story”

“He’s right you know, I’ve yet to meet a decent one, seriously. Just the other day at ….. I took off on a double overhead left only to be faded by this helmeted t…t. So bloody dangerous. Tolerence for other forms of waveriding is one thing, but these guys burnt all of their bridges long ago imo. Anyway, this subject is tired, anyone want a biscuit?”

Hey Guys, I know the feeling. . .

    hey, Derrick - assuming that wasn’t some other Derrick givin’ me guff about my carnivorous tendencies -

    tag!

    I was gonna be nice & just let people volunteer but I think you volunteered!

    :D

  2. derrick Said,

    Me? No that was an evil vegetarian personality that I’m trying to suppress.

    So, I hate to look too stupid, but I don’t know the rules of the game? How do bloggers play tag? You see I didn’t get picked for dodge ball either. . .

  3. bonnie Said,

    Dodge ball? Egads. P.E. classes left psychological scars that remain painful to this very day.

    So that wasn’t you? Hm. Maybe they were actually serious.

    Anyways - this is one of those games that the bloggier bloggers play. This one is sets of 5. You take out my answers and replace ‘em with your own. Please note that I went into more detail on the years than was necessary - Loup, who tagged me and who I link to at the start, did a much better job of keeping it concise. But then the “7 to 4 years ago” time frame was such a friggin’ soap opera for me it’s tough to exercise restraint.

  4. derrick Said,

    actually that was me. Sorry, read “Sybil”. . Admired her diversity. .

    I’m not sure I can be any shorter with my answers. . but I will try. ;)

  5. bonnie Said,

    heh. good thing ya ‘fessed up. eventually I would have checked my sitemeter for visits & times & then you would have been a permanent taggee.

    actually based on that one post you did recently I suspect that your 10 years and 4 - 7 years ago might be quite a bit more intense than mine. Mine never quite got past the level of “soap opera” & up to the more respectable level of “drama”. Thhbt.

  6. bonnie Said,

    ps don’t think I mentioned this but man is this site looking spiffy these days!

  7. derrick Said,

    oh, and thank you. :)
