I'm working on a comedy CD for boaters. Then I will do some more comedy songs for the general public.

I'm looking for a name. Weird Al is taken so I don't think Weird Ed will fly. Crazy Ed? Poop deck Ed? Anyone got an idea I'm stumped?

Also I'm going to do a few youtube videos to promote it. Do you think I should develop a siqnature outfit like some others do, or should I just let the song speak for itself. Any ideas would be welcome.

Gilligan's Island comes to mind here. Maybe something along those lines? Minnow Tosser/ U.S.S. Minnow /Gilligan's Cove / First Mate / Skipper / Gilligan Rescued etc . . .

There's only one person on this forum who is degenerated enough to give you a sound advice on this one: Filkertom. He is the one to turn to when absurd and surrealistic humor is needed


My advise would be: Bob Ahab and the Whalers

My Grandfather took care of a 'slow' fella in Lindsay when he fixed steam engines for the CN. They take the train on his pass to Toronto, and get off at Union. The porter says to Billy, "King Edward Sir?" , at which point Billy looks at the porter and says, "Nope, just plain ol' Billy from Lindsay..."

How about Rochdale College dropout?...just 'cause I lived behind it in 1968....

somehow my geographical names need to get married with the others.

As I said, at least I know the geography!

Of course it has been said by Europeans.... Canada, not enough history and way too much geography.

When is the boat show this year? I always went, 20 years or so ago. I wanted to go to the Royal (Royal Agricultural Winter Fair) this weekend or next, but I'm still having huge issues with nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) so my feet feel like I'm walking on broken glass ..My hands are numb...etc.) so I'm staying on one floor of the house mostly.

I've been trying very hard to come through with the Autumn Leaves challenge I threw down, but so far no bananna.

25 years ago or so I had 2 clients I wrote Xenix databases for at the boat show...one from Lake Simcoe and one from Grand Bend. Long time ago that.....

I wish I was at the market tomorrow morning, ...I mean in a few hours.. Last time we were there I went to St. Lawrence until noon and then Kensington for the rest of the day...supper in Chinatown. Toronto makes London seem like a year in a convent.

Lotsa good stuff here.
I liked an entry in your first comment - Poop Deck Ed

Tales of the Jetty (thanks to Don for the "Jetty" idea)
by
Poop Deck Eddy

Tales of the Head
by
Poop Deck Ed

I think you need your name in there Ed
"Poop Deck" seems to have just the right level of irreverence.
Bilge Water Ed, Spinnaker Ed. "Bilge" might fit the nature of the parody songs -
no insult intended.

I wish you luck on this venture, Ed - sounds like a good time.

Ian

Danny C - just noticed you entered "bilge" while I was typing.
