Public Service Announcement

Hi,

I have had pointed out to me that my user title

"Moderator... Short for Cat Wrangler"

Quote:
does nothing to give confidence to the multihull crowd here.
So to put any fears to rest... if ya had em... the cats I wrangle tend to lurk in gun and anchor threads... and the phrase is based on a pretty funny Superbowl ad from a number of years ago... Which if ya missed it is worth takin a look at... and will confirm further for you that there is NO relation ship between the word 'Cat' in this context and the usage as a descriptor for a multi hulled boat.



Now I must confess that I would LOVE to be a cat wrangler in a more nautical sense, but to do that I would need something like a nice Prout Quest... which *sigh* isn't in the cards (or budget) any time soon...

Anyway, I hope I didn't scare any of you too badly with that phrase...

Re: Public Service Announcement

I always figured it was about the 4 legged hairy type of cat, not the boat type. Guess I need to work on being more open minded.

Re: Public Service Announcement

I always assumed it was some sort of euphemism...........

.....well, I hoped it was. possibly involving a vat of Jello.
