I know you are sorry to see 'end of an age' and I feel for you... I love the ocean etc but @68yr it's not safe alone. So just hang out with old friends. I look forward to seeing u on LEO TGW etc. Take care.

Nice work Dick, enjoy gizwiz on twit.tv, lotta lotta history for you on that boat, lacking of words I'm sure. MAD mag was the first magazine or anything that I ever remember stealing and then getting caught right away back in the late 50's early 60's with. Loved lighter side and those tv/movie show make overs MAD style etc. etc. etc.

Best to you...Midwest guy...

I remember the wild sex parties with Roman Polanski on the disco boat.

I didn't find out about the DGW until after he made this. I just knew DDB was the best writer from all of the MAD issues, books, etc. that I collected as a kid. So you can imagine my delight when I finally found out he had a podcast about one of my favorite subjects! :D

Wow... that's sad. I'm sorry for your lost, but at least it's going to Boat Angel. ;)

Very nice boat, Dick. I like the trick with the two doors to the head. One question, knowing your enjoyment of lights, did you have LED lights in the floor?

[mojoboy1984]

Well well some schmucks didn't like my comment!

Mad magazine lost in quality as The Simpsons did

I don't know why but i know what is great and i am not pleased with average crap.

Thanks for the tour of the boat. I enjoy your Daily Giz Wiz show.

If you bothered to listen to the twit network the podcast he is on, he says exactly why he gave it up. Find the episodes from thegizwiz for the last two weeks it says why in them.
