Okay, so I was splicing line on the Loggerhead dock a few weeks ago, accompanied by "Loggerhead Jay" and, eventually, Pete, when I had another of my Weird Al possessions. I know - the thought kinda makes you need a shower, doesn't it? But, seriously - if you know me you also know how I tend to parody songs on the spot when my mental radio dial goes spinning. Jay was saying something about one of the old dock lines getting a little sad looking and that if I had the materials he could whip it. What more impetus do you need to run with that? In mere seconds I was singing:
When your line is getting frayed
You must whip it
So your boats don't get away
You must whip it
If your dock line looks like crap
You must whip it
You can't make fast with that
You must whip it
Okay, so I know I added a couple of extra lines, but what do you want off the cuff? I initially considered rewriting the whole song, but decided not to labor it too much. It was much funnier the way it initially came out, and yes, you probably did have to be there. Jay was, and he laughed, so mleh!

- My answer to the Random Question: This is something with which I actually have firsthand experience. After diving around various bicycles and other objects once launched off a dock into the ocean, I can honestly say that sometimes fish do like a bicycle. This is only under certain circumstances, mind you. The bikes are only really attractive after they have accumulated plant life, coral, tangles of stray crab trap line, and various other gooey and tendrily things. Once these items are in place, the bikes become a source of good cover and sometimes food. They can also just be really cool things to swim around and through -- if you're a fish.

Understatement.
I laughed so hard I blew a snot bubble out of my nose.
I think I might have actually wet my pants a little, as a matter of fact.
