someone (on the sailboat) said "spank the monkey".
what does that mean?


Just realized I left the italics off in my previous post.

Another thing I left off of that post is this thought:

It sort of helps me understand why Polvie is always so
anxious to get back out onto his boat...

Hmmm...

<Clappy ducks just in time to avoid the flying captain's
hat that Polvo threw at him.>

<He then runs and hides as Polvo the skipper of the SS Spankalot
tries to stomp the humorless key strokes from Clappy's fingers...>

-Spanky

I thought "Well, I'd better not answer that question because it might mean something different in the US."

But might it explain how these solo round-the-world types pass the time, and perhaps why they're willing to sail that far alone in the first place?
