Crocs Violated by a Turtle [Nature Video]

Tuesday, 01 June 2010 20:13 Written by David H. Johnston


Not quite sure what I would do with my sandals if this happened to one of them. I know they feel humiliated already for being turned into Crocs so this can’t be much worse for their self esteem.

Swim Instructors Always Get the Ladies [Old Photo]

Wednesday, 26 May 2010 15:19 Written by David H. Johnston
Swim Instructor from Life Magazine

I love this old photo from 1898 of a swim instructor on Staten Island, New York.

If I wasn't already married, I would totally get a similar shirt that says “Kayak Instructor” on it so I can sashay down the beach showing off to the ladies with my big belt and center part hair.

Yep, it would totally going to work.

Funny Drowning Sign [Made Pre-Internet]

Thursday, 08 April 2010 09:18 Written by David H. Johnston
I love this drowning sign.

If you see someone drowning LOL. Call 911.

“If you see someone drowning [LOL] call 911.”

Even before LOL was around, I still think it’s funny that the layout designer decided to have, “Call 911” in the smallest font possible. Isn’t that the most important part of the message?

Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz latest invention: The BO-AT

Thursday, 28 January 2010 22:30 Written by David H. Johnston
Dr. DoofenshmirtzIf you have kids (and cable) there is a good chance that the Disney television show, Phineas and Ferb gets watched in your house. If you don’t have kids that’s ok; just know that you are missing out on the best cartoon television show that Disney has put out ever. It’s filled with weird looking kids, really funny adventures; and a secret agent platypus that fights his nemesis, Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz.

So why bring it up tonight? One of tonight’s stories involved Dr. Doofenshmirtz trying to take over the tri-state area with some evil scheme once again. His secret weapon this time? The BO-AT.

The Boat Van – For the Sleepy Boater

The Van Boat

Now this is a boat that Mr. T from the A-Team would have been proud of.

Best comment over at the “There, I Fixed It” blog: K wrote, “They should totally get it all done up with like an airbrushed sunset scene on the sides, maybe some nice curtains, shag carpeting...”

Looking to get out on the water but don’t have the cash to buy or rent? Why not build your own? Below are a couple of inspiring photos from the fantastic website, thereifixedit.com that will likely give you a couple of ideas of not how to do it.

I also threw in a bulk hotdog cooker at the end for good measure.

Kayaking has officially made it to the big times!

Thursday, 25 June 2009 09:58 Written by David H. Johnston

Nigeria 419 Scam

How do you know when your sport has made it to the big times? A clear sign is when spammers are using your sport to try to scam you.

Over the past 24 hours, I have been getting reports of quite a few people in the kayaking community getting the posted email below.

If you get the spam, please ignore it as seems to reek of a ripe Nigerian Email Scam. A quick search on Google of the phone number brought up several different blog postings with the same person looking to pay nicely for chess, sewing and sailing lessons.

So pat yourself on the back and congratulate each other for being there when kayaking truly hit the big times. It’s a story you will want to remember to tell your grandkids and easily on the same level as your grandfather’s story of being there to see Babe Ruth play his first game.

Below is the email that's going around:
