I think this is the Crotch Rocker (tm) model.

It is said that the early Polynesians crossed the Pacific in a similar type craft.

You have to be impressed with the ingenuity of the people that came before us. I mean, for the Polynesians to come up with the chemistry for Polyvinyl chloride to make the out-riggers - I mean like wow!!!!

Here's a pic of one of the earlier ones (although this is 8th century AD in Central Java, Indonesia).

I don't think Chickenboy is quite old enough to be in "Up!"

Holy Thread Resurrection, Batman! Found this one from 5 years back and got a chuckle out of it. Note the old denizens that we haven't seen much of lately (SuluSea). Also note the even older OP, that we see all the freakin' time.

Chickenboy gave up on using this as a personal watercraft. He toyed with its possibilities as a pleasure-making apparatus. Then he considered whether it might be useful as a "cloth for post-bowel-movement cleaning of the canyon between tender buttocks of the soft urban male."

Shouldn't the upgrade path include a First Mate named Ginger?

No, you nitwit. Everybody knows that the upgrade path includes a First Mate named Mary Ann. "Ginger"? Feh.

I wonder if Chickenboy is going to shock attack on the other side of the river?? [:)][;)]


SuluSea,

Love the avatar. had much great fun playing that game. I took it down off the shelf about six months ago and dusted it off with the intention of relearning it.

I got about five pages into the manual and realized how spoiled computer games have made me in that I no longer have to memorize the rules in order for the game to play properly and of course got sleepy reading all those rules and needed a nap.

Never did get back to the rules learning effort.

I was wondering how many strokes it would take him to come across the river.

Notice how his craft is cleverly bolted on the support triangles, so he can remove one bolt at each end and fold it up for backpacking to a whitewater river!
