C LIS GO



The Lis quiver...

Ladyfinger




KCRW's Liza Richardson with the Ladyfinger...
Casper's playmate...
Liza rode the Lady on March 29 in honor of Simmons'
birthday.
more Planet of the Apes birthday nonsense:
the Ladyfinger is a 5'8" slightly more refined version
of Casper...shaped by Joe Bauguess, who is, by
the way, head honcho on all Simmons planing hull
designs, in case anyone was wondering...
Joe shaped the Ladyfinger on 7/14,
another day that appears as "ship time"
on Captain Taylor's spaceship...
the moment the crew goes into hibernation...
this is all Remember the Future stuff...
consider the deeper meaning carefully.

Jill Jordan baked a Zaius cake for me birthday.
whats that got to do with planing hulls?
it will take years of research to find out,
i assure you. On the 29th we rode a few
for Bob Simmons... thats his birthday.
