never get out of the boat! I gotta remember! gotta remember! never get out of the boat!

to explain the significance (not the reference; the reference would be easy) would take too long, be much too depressing (not unlike the first 75 minutes of the Extras finale).
and I really don't want to go there again anytime soon. or anytime, for that matter.
("it's been a bad day/please don't take a picture")

so in the interest of writing something new, something safe, something unborrowed and not too blue,
