    Bluto's boat is named "Pennewells Will"? Does that mean
    something?

    "Pennell's Will" - William Pennell was the original voice of the
    character Bluto in the animated shorts.
    <https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0672080/>

    Bluto's / Brutus' boat has had a few names in different places,
    including "Bluto", "Vile Body", and "S.S. Stinker". At one time he also
    had a luxury yacht named "S.S. Lizzie", named after his wife.

    Thanks!

    I see he even sang in character in "Beware of Baracle Bill" (though not
    the "real" lyrics, of course!)
