Deadman Rant!

Ah, the bolt debate has begun again in earnest. Everyone has an opinion, no one is likely to change their opinions....

While were on the topic, let me get a rant off my chest:

I want to know who decided to name a buried rock a deadman? For political correctness, I would recommend we refer to them as deadperson from now on.

Secondly, why is it that every person that raps off the afore mentioned deadperson has to add a rock? Not rebuild it or check it mind you, just throw another rock on... Some of the piles are reaching epic comical proportions...

If a 2 ton pile of rocks is not going to hold you, adding another pebble is not likely to improve the situation.

So in summary. Deadman... bad... deadperson... ok if you toss another rock on it for good luck before you rap....

All in jest of course.

Oh, I don't know. I actually know several people whom have changed their minds on the subject.

Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check outnew cars at Autos.

Ryan,

"Dead" has such a negative connotation, I would feel a lot more comfortable with "living challanged", or perhaps "no longer among the living"

actually PITA may very well have an issue with leaving our animal friends out of the title as well, so let's not limit this with species and simply call it "living challanged individual"... wouldn't that be much better than deadman?!?

There I go mixing up my acronyms again

PITA (Pain In The A$$)

PETA (People for Eating Tasty Animals)

You must also be careful on your spelling with a deadman anchor. For example, if you order a "Dead Man's Anchor" rather than a "Dead Man Anchor" you could end up with this: http://tinyurl.com/2pqnrl Dave
