Anchoring Threads Suck!

So the idea behind this thread is to come up with jokes that slam those that get so caught up in and dramatic about completely ridiculous technical minutiae that they become...Barbies.

Here. let me begin...

"You know you're disturbingly passionate about anchor threads when...."

Smackdaddy, are you trying to shut down the whole forum? All sailing forums, actually?

I'm installing some solar panels tomorrow. I'll be....
* Using non-color coded wire. Actually, I think there's an old lamp in the garage....
* Twisting the ends together. Or crimping with a hammer. I'm out of wire nuts. Maybe I can just cram the wires under the battery cables.
* Drilling some nice un-sealed holes in the core. Galvanized lag bolts should do.
* I think I'll mount them under the boom.

Maybe it would be better if I just went fishing.

We're not dragging. But it's a bit weird that boat behind me is moving forward
