Curse of the Tillerman and Wrapup of the Wordsmith Boat Name

The Curse: Tillerman mentioned that when he bestows kudos upon another blog, that blog eventually goes silent. I didn't pay it much mind at the time, but doggone it, when March rolled around, just as predicted, Earwigoagin fell silent. I'll detail the reason in a following post but, now for unfinished business; the final tally of the boat naming exercise called forth in the last post before Earwigoagin went on hiatus (I hate to name it a contest because it really wasn't). There was some real humdingers. I liked the weirdness of the Captcha - computer generated - names but, and this is only my personal preference, my two favorites were:

1. Bilious from Tillerman - which sounds sort of nautical (derived from "billowing" as in "billowing" sails) unless you know the definition of bilious.
2. Seaboob from O'Docker - which has the odd characteristic of sounding dumb and naughty and nautical, all at the same time.

Below is the table of all the boat names listed in alphabetical order, followed by their contributor. Tillerman leads the way in entries, as would be expected for, as a shark is drawn to blood, Tillerman pounces on all things related to word play. O'Docker, My2Fish and Baydog end up with about an equal number of multiple boat-names. And to fill it out there is a smattering of individual contributors. Thanks to all the entrants! If anyone out in the digital morass decides to name their boat "Elopygu", please let me know.
