BLEF (bleff)

Noun: A specific, scientifically over-engineered skeg of legend. Featuring a serrated leading edge and known to generate astronomical speed; crash helmets and jumpsuits were required safety accessories. What Maserati's are to “whips” the BLEF is to fins.

In his down time from shaping large cumbersome planks of wood into equally large cumbersome planks of wood; Sir Roy of Raglan ultimately tried his hand at fin design. Although much hyped, (after all what else does the stylish surfer attach to their Million Dollar Board?), the BLEF ultimately proved unworthy of the hard charging SI members who were selected for the North American Sea Trials.

Conducted in relative secrecy (read obscurity), under pseudo-laboratory conditions at our East Coast Proving Grounds these tests were inconclusive. Poorly fabricated Kiwi craftsmanship combined with “fully blunted” Swelluminati Experts quickly led to an ugly International Incident requiring moderation by the U.N. Security Council and leading to inevitable banning’s by Simod Huckabee Sanders.

It was around this time that the BLEF literally disappeared into the mists of time. This ignominious ending came as no surprise considering that this skeg’s beginnings were the product of that special intersection where madness and genius exist side-by-side.

WBF, nice synopsis! Update: I sent the BLEFF to LBCrew for further testing/repair. He snapped it throwing buckets. It's dead. RIP BLEF, we hardly knew ye.

Side note: Before I figured out how to insert it propperly in my finboxxe, my wife dropped a jar of honey on our concrete driveway. It scooped it up, glass pieces and all, in one swoosh.

 

“To each their own” is an English idiom signifying that everyone is entitled to his or her own preferences. The phrase is grammatically incorrect because the singular pronoun “each” conflicts with the plural pronoun “their,” so many people use the version “to each his own.” Variations on the saying are heard primarily in the United States, England, and Australia, but it may have originated from a Latin phrase.

 

****ing classic, nailed it.

World B and SI Dog... My face hurts, and my dogs are waking up the neighbors! F'n funny sheet!

Annotation: Starting sometime during the latter SI years, the common phrase, "to each his own" has been replaced by the more gender neutral, "to it's their own," the latter offending everyone, instead of offending only one denomination of the populace.

 

I thought it was a Shred quote, "to its their own".

 

It is indeed a Shred-ism. Needless I say more.

 

"each its has his own their"
