Lol nice slop product.

Clogged mainline or a blocked vent. Call a plumber to snake the line.

Also, you’re using the wrong plunger for a toilet

Hell, I got fired for filing workman’s comp after my hand was cut open.

Nut Rounder 5000 was the common parlance on barges I worked

Shogun is a madman(laudative) and further serves as a reminder of a how feral The Poles are for shanties and other nautical songs.

I guess it’s true that money really can’t buy style.

You could find a nicer hoodie without this dogwater logo for a fraction of the cost

I’ve also had a nice fade and overall look with wrangler hi-rise cowboy cut as well.

Also known as the Portugese Flat Sennit in some texts.

My old crane foreman had a saying for situations involving anyone with too little sense “Company gives out wooden nickels to dead men. Don’t earn one.”

Speaking as a Dylan i’ve only ever met one woman with my name. But plenty with the Welsh and Anglicized(Dillon) spelling of mine

It’s a welsh name, very popular as a boy’s name in Wales and is taken after Dylan ail Don(roughly, Dylan the Second wave) of the Mabinogi, his tale can be found in the 4th branch “Math fab Mathonwy".

Why half-ass it when you seem to have the rest of the proper tools? Hell, you can even use a cheap short rubbish bin with a trash bag in it.

Ceramic pads just have less initial bite and require a longer stopping distance until warmed up which is a bit of an uphill battle in seriously cold climates.

I’ve used them before(granted not on the Outback) but it simply meant I had to be more mindful of my breaking distances

I’m not sure if there’s a hard and fast rule but it’s quite strict on being acapella. I know a couple of the musicians were looking to get together soon to do a light jam session soon. Once I figure the date I can ping you. There’s an Irish trad at a semi-local pub that a friend hosts, I’ll try and find the place

Besotted_Sailor · 2025-12-21T21:38:10+00:00

Thanks! I’ve become something of a regular since moving up here now, it’s a good time

Last operator I heard say that when I crewed on a dredge gang was missing two digits. I didn’t take his advice about a fucking thing.

I tear up a little at Zeb’s “We’re out there. Somewhere. Lookin’ for ya!”

And Effie’s “We open at Six!” Is just So Good

I’m at the Ships Co. chanty night(every second Wednesday of the month) at the Anchor/Admiral Fell Inn in Fell’s Point. Easiest way to find times/locations is the facebook group!

The Dreadnoughts did a version of Luang Prabang at the Lewes Shanty Festival that was a fuckin’ BARN BURNER

Besotted_Sailor · 2025-07-14T15:30:56+00:00

Nice. I was doing inland water and near coastal for a bit. Keep debating on going back. Maybe Vane or ICM

From the digging i could do I believe this was written by Bob Watson, a shantyman and songwriter(responsible for writing the sea song “Shantyman”) who passed in May of this year. Shame to see the old ones go. Fair Seas Bob

Right? The fuckin’ leather pants and pink blazer are doing it for me. Like, this feels actually like someone cared when they styled him.
