Went out yesturday and waved to everyone as usaul but did notice how many didn't wave back. Guess i never really thought about it till this thread but was surprised how many didn't wave back. So then the crew turned it into a drinking game and gave the ones that didn't wave a one finger wave. lol

One finger wave or one finger salute?

I wouldnt have been able to give the 1 finger wave after all you can eat crabs... my fingers would have been too tired. That looked like an awesome time Keith!! All you can eat are my favorite words to see on a menu...especially crabs,wings or ribs!!

This weekend my friends and I are going out from Bevery Ma. acroos to Gloucester Ma. --- from my boat we plan on doing two things....
First, a little Smoke On The Water, in memoriam due to the recent passing of John Lord of Deep Purple.....
Second, we plan on taking notes of the people that don't wave back...
For the wave game the catagories will be...
>>type of boat {size and style}
>>male or female {operator}
>>relative distance from our vessel
>>who waves first {us or them}
Should be interesting because I see a very diverse amount of boat models where I am --- everything from lobsta fishermen to multi million dollar yachts ---- including a good number of Mates / Baha's and plenty of performance boats.
And to take a page out of Keith4216's idea --- it will be a drinking game.

As you know {because your from NE} -- them waiving or not is usually dictated by the kind of losta season they're having.....
So far this year they've been all smiles and waves
And I have consumed A LOT OF LOBSTER this year so far

Yes I'm sorry I didn't wave. probably never saw you. Truth is I was probably a little pissed off and just focusing on driving the damn boat! Let me explain...
My sister and BIL recently bought a pontoon. And several of their friends have toons also. And as you know pontooners almost always bring a god damned army of people with them when they go boating. Because why the **** else would you buy one of those ****ing things if you wernt going to take the whole extended family with you and go invade a ****ing small country!
So there they are... 30 to 40 totally drunk assholes most all of them friends and relatives of my BIL ****ing drunk and pestering me all god damned day to take them for rides in the uber cool speed boat. Because I'm the only person there with a REAL boat and none of them ever been in anything faster than a ****ing canoe before. And theres 30 of these ****ers. And they all want a ride! And there all drunk!
So when you do finally break down, give in , and say ok to taking these drunken fools for a ride. Well... That's when the real fun begins! To be continued......

Awesome looking boat outlaw. I had seen on here that you had bought it & boated on raystown. That was the 1st & only time we saw it,definately sharp!! Toni's sisters came back home last weekend & wanted to go for a ride. 7 adults & 1 dog.... rated capacity 10...my ass!!! Then 2 of them wanted to tube, thank god I dropped down to the 23 mirage!! I definately found out what the tabs are for, towing speed with 2 on a tube & 5 adults aboard, all towards the stearn takin pics. Not to mention the 4 full coolers & full tank of fuel!! Hope to see you again up there, nice to see another mate in the mix of all the bajas & pontoons!!

Happly? Well I don't know. But you can probably guess what happens next.
So I give in and say ok to the ride. And immediately all 25 or so of "the tooners" rush the boat and try to all get in all at the same time. I think about 12 or 13 actually made it. The fatter ones left still in the water with solemn looks upon their faces. As the latter and swim platform on the back of a convincor can be a difficult proposition for those with a BMI of 50% and greater.
So I climb up to get in and explain that more have to exit the craft as there isn't even room for me and I have to drive. I then point to the little yellow placard that states the number of people, BY LAW, that the U.S. coast guard allow to be aboard the craft at any given moment. More grimaces and solemn looks dawn the faces of the remaining assholes! I let them work out their hierarchy for them selfs. Draw straws, rock paper scissors, whatever I don't give a ****!
Now we are finally making way and "The Tooners" all want to go down to the cliffs to jump off. I'm speeding down the lake partly because that what the tooners want me to do. And partly because the fast we get there and get back. The faster I will be rid of these assholes and can get back to enjoying my day!
SO we are going real fast and everyone is drunk (but ME). The girl next to me dancing around with her arms in the air. Beer in both hands I think. In fact they are all doing this. As I'm trying to thread the needle past a stopped boat with a downed skier in the water and another boat, her ****ing hair blows all in my face! Another bitch has managed to find her way below and is ****ing with the radio, cranking the volume up to 11. Finally we come up on 4 or 5 big swells or rollers that some big cabin cruisers must have kicked up. And man we hit these full speed. I didn't see them till it was too late. Ya know, because I'm ****ing destracted! Well, people flew everywhere! The ladies got it the worst as they where totally oblivious. The girl in the cabin ****ing with the radio got it the worst. She really jammed her neck up. She was ****ed up for the rest of the day!
Anyway, everyone sorta sat the **** down and shut the **** up after that.
That is my story and I'm sticking to it. Sorry I didn't wave Miller....
