Beare's Law of Accelerating Catastrophe at Sea - BLAC

At sea a problem can accelerate into a crisis at a rate proportional to the conditions
An example of Beare's Law of Accelerating Catastrophe at Sea - BLAC.

Imagine you are at sea and sailing along nicely a few miles off the coast of Corsica. You have the Genoa poled out and are running downwind. You are single handed. You pop down below to make yourself a cup of tea. Everything is fine. All of a sudden the wind shifts and you gybe. The pole slams across the forestay bent; the genoa is backed and the pole is trapped under the sail. As the boat lurches you are scolded with coffee. You rush on deck to sea the wind picking up and the boat floundering.

You are confident you will soon bring things under control. However, the wind is gusting alarmingly. A squawl from the hills. You cannot get the whisker pole off to furl the sail. You look up and in horror you see a ship coming at you dead ahead. The wind gusts and the boat is knocked down. You slip and land hard on deck bruising your arm.

And so it accumulates as you experience Beare's Law of Accelerating Catastrophe at Sea - BLAC.

Berean Brownies

Brownies with weed mixed in the batter. A kid brought the weed brownies to Berean (a private conservative high school), gave them to the sheltered children, watched them get high, and then got suspended. We now honor his memory with this title of his delicious dessert.
Hey did you hear that kid got suspended for those Berean Brownies he brought?

Huckle Bearer

"Huckle Bearer" is a nonsense phrase invented by nincompoops on the internet who didn't understand what Doc Holiday was saying in "Tombstone" when he said "I'm your huckleberry". It comes with a made-up "explanation" that in the mythic Old South, handles on coffins were called "huckles" (they were not), qnd this pall bearers weere called "huckle bearers" (they were not). The idea is as stupid as it is false, and it is entirely false. The term "huckle bearer" was created ex nihilo shortly after the release of "Tombstone" in 1993, and has no history prior to that at all.
"Only a card-carrying nitwit believest that Doc Holiday said "I'm your huckle bearer."
