Ok, I need help from some fellow Canadians on Captain Highliner. Ok, here's the deal. About 15 years ago, a big seafood company started a promotional campaign for their Highliner brand of fish sticks. They invented a fictitious "Captain Highliner" who appeared in commercials with some young kid named "Billy". The good captain talked just like the Seafaring stereotype featured on "The Simpsons". Well, it was unclear who "Billy" was, a grandson, a neighbour, or as would turn out, a cabin boy. Well, there were lots of jokes about the relationship between the two males (e.g. skits about "Captain Hindgrinder") culminating in National Brands pulling the commercials. Does anyone remember some of the jokes? I can only recall a few. "Aaarr Billy, bend over and I'll give you a taste of my fish stick." "Arrr Billy, you ever been buggered by a one-eyed whale?" "Arrr Billy, I got a cure for that burnin' rectal itch." CD
