But it does look like a blast to take out with some hotties.

Ass (ladies only), gas, or swim. Nothing but cigs and beer for this kid these days and that's gotten rare.

Apparently this little blurb that you copied has no meaning either huh?

But they fall under the "gas" section, right? I certainly wouldn't ride and expect not to chip in, heck I even throw some cash at my bro when on his pontoon.

I throw in for gas when i'm on somebody else's boat, too. The people I hang out with here are the same way. Not a big deal. Either way, we all have a good time weather it's on the water, driving the RV to the springs, etc... It's more fun with a group (not too large though).

When my friends and I took boats out, we paid for the boat owner's gas. It was a very reasonable admission charge for having an awesome day on the lake. I miss my boat.

We do that, too, but as the owner I always have money set aside for gas or wot not because ya never know what can happen good or bad.

Not sure about Priscilla but I think DaNN is probably getting a shallow unmarked grave in the middle of a land fill.
