"School's Out...Forever"- What's in a Boat Name?

When a person buys a boat, there's the natural inclination to attach a name to said boat.

We did not name our first boat, but the second one did. We were mulling over names, and I was thinking Banshee or 'Que, or something along those lines. Liz said, "Hey, why don't we call it "School's Out". I immediately knew that she had come up with the perfect name since we were both teachers. If you see us out and about in it, school must be out!!!! We had the name put on it.

We bought our third boat in 2003, and even though we didn't have the name put on it, called it "School's Out II". When we retired last year, we had "School's Out....Forever" put on it. It definitely applies. Thank you very much Alice Cooper for that great song. I guess we could have named it "Another Brick in the Wall" ("Another Brick In the Water" where we put a lot of money) after the Pink Floyd song. "Hey!!! Teachers, Leave Them Kids Alone!" However, I should point out that "Them Kids" is incorrect. Somebody quick, find me a red pen, the MIGHTIEST weapon in a teacher;s arsenal.

I know Vickie and Graham have had a few boats. Perhaps we can learn of some of those names.

Tomorrow, "Boat Names, the Boys in the Bar Ordered Boat Names", sorry about that Jimmy Buffett. --RoadDog
