Camaraderie enters the vertical replensihment business.

I see the hand of our electronically obsessed Taiwanese trailer-trash moderator at work in the following press release. When your boat or R/V is chock-a-block full of the latest in stereo and video game equipement your stowage capacity inevitably must go down. What to do about the staples of life; Cheez-doodles, Ding-Dong's, and Ho-Ho's? You can store a limited amount in the medicine cabinet where the tooth cleaning gear would normally be kept, but that is hardly a solution to a severe shortage of space for such necessities as Mail Pouch tobacco and your defintive collection of tapes on "WLIR: The Cocaine Years". The ever inventive North Shore Redneck has come up with a remarkable solution. It may, upon implementation, even offer postal workers a safer alternative for mail delivery within the city of Detroit.

Sway...while i appreciate you thinking of me...looks like the DOD gets the prototypes. Of course the company IS based in Brooklyn and one might suspect the system was originally designed for the precision drop of items other than those currently contemplated!

I believe that Sway is saying that you'd have a pallet of Cheetos airdropped to your RV in the backwoods of NC.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Hey ..I'm all set on cheetos...we had a container ship lose several 40' truckloads of 'em in a storm last year off Hatteras. I can tell you that bags of cheetos are buoyant and the seal is impervious to salt water. Unfortunately, however they are delivered...they have the same effect on keyboards!

Hey Cheeto-breath...The effect is that they screw up the "Enter" key resulting in tens of thousands of posts with nothing said!
