What the hell? I asked, someone answered, I still don't understand what the hell is being conveyed.

Ctrl-F says that you were the first person to use "Longboating" in the thread. So yeah, I'm confused, but not by the same thing.

Um, or win us, apparently. Learn something new every day.

Part of the fun of longboating was the confusion and secrecy. And soon it will be gone - the secrets of the Longboat laid out for all of Metafilter to see. And gone with it will be the joy of figuring out the Longboat's sailing pattern. Be a Viking. Search for the treasure, using google or yahoo as your map.

What is Kibology?
What is the sound of one hand clapping?
Who is your daddy and what does he do?

Some questions cannot be answered in reasonable terms; some should not, one could argue, be asked in the first place.

Longboating is not approved by the cabal.

That is to say, if there was a cabal, it would neither participate in nor condone any use of Longboating.

Waterboarding, however, is a-fucking-OK!
