Well, since you've killfiled me, you won't see this, but I agree with you.
Crap'n Neal® was a fictional personae for most of his tenure here. There may
have originally been an actual Crapton but his small mind got bored and he
was not as addicted to abuse as the sock puppet director.

Capt Neal is a real person. He has been sailing in the Bahamas for
quite a while now. The last letter I got from him was from West End
Bahama dated 19 Mar 2002. The stamp was from the Bahama Humane Society
featuring a cat. He's sent me copies of his sailing log as well as
some of his musings. He existence is easily verified, if you know
where to look.
He sends his "special" regards to the newsgroup. I do not understand
why you people must attack him. He is role model for us all.

Which brings up another point: Does anyone here believe that Gilligan is
real? And are he and the Crapton one and the same?

Well Jeff, I believe him to be the character created by a real person. I have had
quite a bit of parlance with the Gilligan creator and I assure you that the puppet
master is real person of considerable intelligence and expertise in numerous and
diverse fields. He is not so insane as his puppets would lead you to believe, he is
the possessor of numerous patents registered with the US Patent office, and I have read
said patents and discussed their contents with him which lends rather a large credence to
his reality. For various reasons, rational or other otherwise, the creator of Gilligan
does not at this time wish to reveal his true identity and has requested that I respect
these wishes. I can tell you that he does reside in the north-west U.S. and what he writes
of a technical nature is generally absolutely correct.
Cheers
Marty

Glad to hear that the Captain is at the helm of the old banana. A
role model though? Certainly a worthey foil, but his ideology has
grown mouldy.
So you've re-activated? Thank god. They've let Doug King take the
helm and his constant off-pitch wailings lack any evokative nature or
grace leaving the readership colder than optical mollasses.

Irish and gay types. And they're impressions, not imitations. I don't do

Since Katy's been limping about following her skiing accident, I'm able to
stay a pace or two ahead of her after pissing her off. Otherwise she'd have
ripped out most of my hair at one time or another. Thankfully Chopper is a
nice dog, lest I'd be missing other body parts.

Now I've got a lot of unmatched socks im my drawer, but even if I unravel them
and work the yarn into rope it simply will not stretch all the way to New York City.
I could try to bottle the aroma and send that in the mail but after that anthrax thing
I would probably find myself fabricating license plate for Her Majesty.

The definitive place for all you ever wanted to know or not about sock
puppets....
FSUdrsax
the Abacos, and a couple weeks ago I was anchored next to a yellow Coronado 27
off New Plymouth Township at Green Turtle Cay. It had a windsurfer on deck and
two dinghies tied to the stern rail. One was a pretty normal looking
fiberglass dinghy with outboard attached, and the other one was a ridiculously
small (i.e. didn't look big enough to hold a real person) craft that appeared
to be of homebuilt origin.
This was the only yellow Coronado 27 I've ever seen, so I'm wondering if it was
the infamous banana. The name on the transom was "Mustard". If that's the
name of Capt. Neal's boat, he was on Green Turtle Cay as of April 23rd or so.
Nobody was on board when I dinghied by, so I never found out if it was him or
not. I wouldn't know the guy if I tripped over him anyway.

pictures of the boat? I'm certain the good people of Abacos were
giving the mighty Capt the welcome he deserved. His boat does have
"Mustard" in the name, though I will not reveal the whole name. More
