wiping the tears off of my swollen eyes with a softissue, i would like to remind you of a phrase i really like from Pulp Fiction, where the character played by Harvey Caitell (spelling?) says to the couple dudes who are happy that he is gonna take care of their little problem (cleaning some brain cells off of the rear seat of their car): "let's not suck each other's c...s just yet" - because the car is still a mess and they have the work cut out for them. <br> <br>we all like to help the sport, rick cerainly included. however, the timing of this post "accidentally" coincided with bamachem posting messages about his halyard ring device on virtually every forum, every classifieds site, or any other site related to beach cat sailing, as well as the boards dedicated to monohulls that use mast locks for their halyards. so, let's not play the innocent bystander here, bamachem. the eloquence of your language suggests that you are not a dumbass, and it would probably be only fair that you sat quiet and just enjoyed rick's generocity. to make it even more so fair, you should spend the miserable amount of money rick charges for classifeds ads and thus support the beach cat sailors who share this site. tell uncle sam it was cost of doing *business.* <br> <br>s.<br><br>
