Okay... ya, yah... don't choke on your "tea" there, Batboy! I'm glad you saw the humor in it... I certainly did! No one else seems to want to rub it in... I KNEW I could depend on YOU... if you ever found the thread! If anyone has any doubt... this is MEANT to be a humorus, laugh at Hobo thread! I'm glad to be able to give you a chuckle. I'll bet your life has been just a BIT stressful of late. Glad you're over that hump!

I don't know WHAT... other than self-delusion... would explain your "reasonings," but... your suggestion is intriguing.

Because of your avatar, I guess I always thought that "twilight flyer" was a name ONLY associated with Batman (or the movies.)

But, of course, it actually was the name of a train (schedule) that ran cross-country during the twilight hours. The concept might fit my plans for the boat. I will add the name to my list under consideration.

Thanks, but just think of the irony if I get it named Twilight Flyer... BEFORE I sink her on the lake!

Worst case Newsflash: "Local trucker dies when Twilight Flyer sinks."

Better for me: "GolfHobo bails out Twilight Flyer... saving a career and a relic."

"UPDATE: Signed copy of Hade's Gambit found on board. Questions abound about the motive, circumstances, and possible suspects."

LOLOLOLOL!

 

Hobo, they're a bunch of tightwads. Not a single wager. Maybe they thought I was joking or something.

For a name how about "7-5 he sinks it" or "boobs float, just look at me"? lol Maybe too wordy.

 

Well, duh. I wouldn’t have found humor in it otherwise.

No doubt. I wouldn’t want to disappoint.

I don’t post much, but I still browse a good bit, mostly this Anything and Everything forum. Hoggie still has some of the best posts on the internet.

I fell on the floor.

Man, you have NO idea. Writing is fun (editing is rough, though). Getting the book published is fun. Doing readings and signings is fun. Seeing people reading the book is fun. Hearing people say they love it is fun. Planning, accounting, and trying to turn it into a career, while fun, is really stressful. There’s a WHOLE LOT to this author gig. It would be easier if it were my ONLY gig, but that’s still a bit out.

Only when I retire and pursue the writing thing full time.

Of course it is.

It was also the name of a movie about a vampire that traversed the country in a single seat airplane. He would fly in to an airport and attack people at the airport, then fly back out. Saw it a really long time ago…B-grade cheese, all the way.

You name that thing Twilight Flyer and I’ll send you a book for free.

What relic…you? Or the boat?

You can’t buy that kind of publicity. Let’s get things set up.

Speaking on the subject of publicity, I am firmly convince we probably should have just written porn. The whole 50 Shades of Gray phenomenon is nothing short of mind-boggling. It’s a poorly written book of…well, porn. And everybody is lapping (pun intended) it up. As a matter of fact, there was a story about it the other day. Some husband got mad at his wife because she was reading that book and he assaulted her with a bottle of steak sauce…shook some A1 on her or something. I mean…really? Do you know how many books that lady probably sold just because of that story?

*sigh*

 

Of course, you could just eliminate any speculation and name it "The Edmund Fitzgerald."
