one conversation I had with a tanker

de-authority: Lots of feeligs. Feel it up, way up.

lt-dbyf-dubois: "Oh my god! TALKING TO TANKER?! Is that what you just said to me? I can't BELIEVE you were talking to a tanker!"

de-authority: You're saying it really loud, but it's not coming out right. Maybe add more indignation?

lt-dbyf-dubois: "So you have just... just... taken this tanker that was at the docks and TALKED to it, right?!" (Point at the sea, where the tanker is located.) "Engage in political discussion with a tanker right there in front of a cargo crane, because you wanted to? In the HARBOUR?!"

de-authority: More.

lt-dbyf-dubois: "RIGHT THERE IN THE HARBOUR?!"

de-authority: MORE.

lt-dbyf-dubois: "GIVING DOCKWORKERS A LITTLE... DOCKS-LIB-SHIP-TALK-SHOW?!"

one thing it is not

bullshit

It's a site tagline. It's a collection of in-jokes, shibboleths, high quality lib breakdowns, practical advice, prophecies, and dick jokes. When you load the page a tagline gets selected from a very very long list at random.

In this case it's a completely bizarre and ludicrous statement that some lib made when they wandered in here.
