All of you {health} head people have a great day. I will vacume the living room, do my cross word puzzle-good for the brain. Go to my sons game and the library.
-
Good afternoon Cakes! Wow seems like we have some of the same things on our "to do" list. I finished my vacumming a while ago, and I also do crossword puzzles. I really started to get into them after my AN surgery, hoping that it helps with the memory problem. I think it does! I usually devote a half hour or so a night, make sure I get it done before my reality tv comes on. My boys are grown now and I really miss those days of going to all their games. It was so much fun.
have a great day!

Hi cakes and Matti,
Well, slaving away here at work... my bosses won't stay out of my office, my Israeli customers are driving me crazy, weekly staff meeting at 1:30pm and on the phone with Beth Israel re: my CK appt and with BC/BS to determine my coverage for treatment.
I think I need more coffee! :)
Happy Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras to you all! :)
Phyl
-
Happy Mardi Gras to you too!
Sorry your day is a stressful one, hope it all turns out ok. Just keep thinking about the great vacation you, your boyfriend and his family will be taking soon.
Have a great day!
matti
-
thanks matti... wasnt' too stressful overall, but having one of my headaches tonight (extra credit points for the accentuated facial numbness today!) Oh, boy, am I the lucky one! :)
...and you are soooooooo right! Bf and I have been emailing today how I can't be rude to the French when I get there... he takes all the fun out of travels, ya know? ;)
Hoping you all had a good day and are feeling great!
Phyl
Happy Mardi Gras to you too!

Bf and I have been emailing today how I can't be rude to the French when I get there... he takes all the fun out of travels, ya know? ;)
.
I say, be as rude to them as they are to you, no more, no less. Let the locals dictate the appropriate level of rudeness. When in Paris, do as the Parisians do. ;)
Fiancee and I are leaving on a cruise Saturday. Won't that be fun, heaving boat coupled with my unique sense of balance? I figure I'll just let people assume that I'm always drunk, and that's why I constantly fall down. It might be true anyway. I'll let you know how the French people in St. Maarten act if you'd like. :P
-
I went on a cruise shortly after my AN surgery. Had a blast, hadn't had any drinks, but it sure felt like I did. Good news is I saved on the bar tab.
Happy cruising Kilroy!
Phyl - don't ya just hate travel restrictions????
-
Kilroy, JEALOUS, JEALOUS, JEALOUS, JEALOUS! Been on 5 cruises and now need to live vicariously through you! And if you've never been... PLENTY of hand rails for the drunken fools on board, so if your balance decides not to cooperate.. heck, you'll blend right in! Oh, I am SOOOOOOOOOO JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!! details, details!
matti, I think we need to form an AN Cruise... calm waters of course, but still.... I think ALL of us (pre- and post-treatments) need some smiles after all we are going through... you want to be Capt'n Stuebing? can I be Julie, the Cruise Director? Who can we get to be Issac and Gopher? My concern is WHO will be Doc!!! Now, that will be a challenge!
cakes, you want in on this? In light of everything ALL of us have been or are going through *rubs face to "feel" it* -- time for a giggle. :)
Phyl
-
We'll just pick the one who seems to most knowledgeable at the time and make them be doc..heck we can eve give them a stethescope 8)
wonder if they can strap you to the boat like they do when you rock climb? Then there'd be no falling overboard :D
-
princess... OMG, a cruise ship named after you! There's been the Pacific Princess... and in light of what all of us are going through... should we name this floating vessel the BattyPrincess? Can we use it??? :)
-
Not sure if they'd want us all on the boat. I think they're a little hesitant to even let pregnant women or people with the sniffles onboard, so what do you suppose their reaction would be to a brain tumor cruise? Oh, and good luck trying to find a doctor for the boat; how many of us had a problem doing that even on land?
We were looking to cruise in December, when my first MRI comes back. Figured we'd either have a reason to celebrate or a reason to get away. But the deal on this one was too good to pass up, and after the past few months we definitely need some smiles.
-
If we use battyprincess do I get to break the champange bottle for the ship christening? lol Kilroy we're not going to "find" a doctor we're going to dictate someone from the forum to "play" doctor lol That would be more fun I think most of us are sick or real doctors anyway ;D I know I am! So now all we need to do is pick our exotic locations to drop anchor! ;)
-
well, Kilroy, I'm still JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, we need a "Doc"... and a port o' call to drop anchor... so... hmmmmmmmm....
Doc - too many to choose from....
Port o' call: Grand Caymen anyone? :D
As long as we have money there.. then they won't care if we walk warbly or not! :D
-
Phyl - OK! I will be capt. stubeing, but here is the problem, since AN surgery I can't drive at night, so I guess we will have to dock during the pm hours and cruise am. May take us a little longer.
My idea for us dizzy/balanced impaired would be to have velcro stations set up throughout the ship and of couse we would have to wear a fashionable velcro vest. OOOH I will bedazzle mine with anchors (do they still make the bedazzler????)
As for doc... I agree with BattyPrincess, I am sick of real doctors, let's get an actor. Acutally with all the research and experience we have with AN's, who needs a doctor!
By the way, now I have the theme to the love boat stuck in my head. THANKS!
Set a course for adventure...
matti
-
Okay you all...I am reading this and having a Beavis and Butthead moment..."hehehehe...she said, play doctor"... :D
-
LOL! Beavis and Butthead??? :D
Ok, I'm certainly ready for a Pina Colada with fancy umbrella and a "souvenier" glass for $10/each about now!
Cap't Stubing/matti... you sure you can drive this thing, even in daylight? Velcro vests? Sounds great but do they have to be that tacky safety orange? I rather like mine to be paisley purple, thankyouverymuch! Now, for on-board entertainment, should we show a slide show of our MRI's and play "Guess who's AN?" Thoughts? :)
-
Phyl - Re: my driving ability - depends on who you ask (just don't ask my husband).ÂÂ
Oh heck ya, Purple, green, blue what ever color suits you. I was thinking something in the way of a gold lame (sp?).
Slide show sounds fantastic.
Still can't get that song out of my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
have a great evening
matti
-
OMG! Gold Lame! Oh, girl... I'm sooooo there! I've even got a tiara with bejangled jewels for the occassion!
Won't ask the spouse about your driving but have a feeling that velcro will come in handy! (j.k.) :)
Head MRI slide show and playing "Guess who's An"... a go!
Where's Jack Jones to sing the theme song for us?
(btw, I was just informed by my dad he's going on a cruise this Saturday... can you say "Phyl, just how jealous are you NOW????" )
*plunks head down on keyboard*
ow. :'(
-
This is too funny...
yeah they still make the bedazzlers (or hey I saw the two ladies on amazing race from texas using one maybe they'll let us borrow theirs?)
I want pink velcro can we do that?
Matti I can't drive at night either...makes fri and sat nights very lonely lol Must find a date soon (and yeah "play" doctor sounds good about now lol)
I think we should be doctor phil or oprah to send us on a cruise on them...that way they can pay for the 10.00 fruity drink glasses lol
-
All,
Strange you should be talking about AN cruises. I think I already had mine. The month before I lost hearing in my AN ear and before I knew I had a AN, my husband and I went on a cruise. I was standing on the concret dock on Grand Caiman and started to get on the tender boat. I swear the concret dock moved and I almost fell down. I felt so strange when every one looked at me like I had been drinking. I finally realized it was the tender boat that moved not the dock.
Sandy
-
Cruising must be the treatment of choice. My husband, kids and I also decided to go on a cruise when I was diagnosed last year. It certainly helped ease the worries about finding out you have a brain tumor...at least for that week.
(A smart travel agent would leave pamphlets in the neurosurgeon's waiting room...what a great way to drum up business!)
:>)
vjh
-
Phyl - Hope you are having a great day, (despite the fact that your dad is setting sail without you).
I had a little crush on Jack Jones. He had great hair!
Batttyprincess - Was it the screaming sisters from Texas? I had to mute them everytime they came on. I am a reality tv junkie.
Dr.Phil scares me a bit, I think we might have a better chance with Oprah.
I miss driving at night too!
Always nice to get a little lighthearted among such serious issues. Have a great day everyone!
matti
-
*mumbles under breath about UK customer and not knowing how to forecast their business... dang-it!*
Ok, pink velcro works for me... Jack Jones did have the most gorgeous white hair on the ocean.... and sandy, I know the tenders, I know that dock (dad is picking me up Tortuga rum cake next week while he's there!)... trust me, it wasn't the dock. VJH, gawd, I should be a travel agent and leave pamphlets in dr's office... anyone want in on this?
Ok, since we have our theme for the cruise, potential shows, color of lifejackets, velcro for all... the one thing we are now missing... cuisine! OMG, we need to have themed cuisine! We could have the dining room serve up....um....... does anyone like ANchovies? ANgelfood cakes are a must! ;)
-
LOL! You guys are great, what a good laugh I got from this thread and I really needed it! Count me in on the cruise, I would love to have some cANtaloupe and crANberry juice cocktail, what the hell, throw in a shot of something too, I look like I'm drunk, I might as well be drunk! Hope you are all having a great day!!!!!! 8)
-
well, Static, based on your post... heck, I say we make you the female Issac the bartender! I'd like my martini please.... GreyGoose, double, straight up, shaken not stirred, extra olives please! ;D If that doesn't make me warble more than I already do... nothing will!
BTW, next round of drinks... gotta be a Cape Codder... you know, vodka and crANberry juice!
-
Matti I'm curious as to why you can't drive at night? I can't either as I find I'm very bothered by the lights and feel very unsafe when it gets dark.
Who's jack jones?
Anyone wanting to volunteet to be doc? lol Could be fun ;D
We shall have no moving tendar docks..not allowed. Oprah it is...heck if she can give away cars surely she can give us a cruise! I know we'd all be more appreciative than the car people ;)
I need a new career, travel agent solicit doctors offices..hmmm..sounds like a plan.
Yes it was the screaming sisters from texas. I didn't like the dentist from NC...I love reality tv too. Tonight is survivor night. I can't believe how young a lot of the contestants are on idol. Pretty impressive seeing how I have no talent lol
Cuisine: anchoives, angelfood cake (no not together) cantalope (yum) and cranberry (and vodka?) animal crackers, at this rate we're going to be the starving cruise line lol
-
you are all making me laugh so hard!
As for cuisine..first night could be ItaliAN. Start with ANtipasto, next ANgelhair pasta with either ANdoullie sausage or ANchovies..
Second night... asiAN food Yum! my favorite
How many nights are we planning?
Battyprincess - I am also bothered by the bright lights of oncoming cars and streetlights. Once the bright lights hit, my eye over dilates and feels like it loses focus. I see halos. Even if there is no traffic out, and I just need to go a few blocks, I feel unsure and unsafe. At my last opthamologist appt. he told me about some prescription drops that are supposed to keep the eye from dilating so much. Trying to remember the name.... ? They are used for Glaucoma patients. He told me to think about it and he would write me a prescription. was wondering if anyone else has problems after they get their eyes dilated by opthamologist/optometrist, it takes my AN eye nearly two days to get back to normal.
Because I can't drive at night, I have become addicted to reality tv (that's my excuse and I am sticking with it). Last week was a nightmare having 3 different reality shows on at once. Thank heavens for split screen. I kind of like the "geeky" couple on Amazing race. They are so in love.
welcome aboard the cruise Static, hope you make a good cosmo.
-
The Love Boat wrecks at Gilligans Island. I will be the professor.
-
wrecks? OH NO MR BILL lol please tell me it's not the first island we come to ;D
The Food choices are def. picking up.
Did we find someone to "play" doctor yet? lol
Thanks for the eye info matti. The eye doctor said things were fine just needed time to heal but the few times I've driven at night I've been blind. A car light hits me wrong and it's enough to lose my vision long enough to wreck or cause one. Thankfully my son has his restricted and can drive at night. he doesn't like it but is more scared of my driving than his lol
-
Heck, we can steer this ship at night, that's what computers are for, right? LOL I also have a hard time at night or in bright light. Apparently the fact that I have a stigmatism and my eye color (which is blue) has something to do with all this according to my optometrist last time I saw him. I have good driving glasses with magnetic removable dark clips for sunlight that I sometimes have to use in the dark. I sort of HAVE to drive at night at times so I do what I gotta do while I can still do it! If anyone hits it big, maybe we can all go out and get the new mercedes. I hear it has some sort of new "night vision" like what is used by the army, etc. and it doesn't effect oncoming traffic. You think Oprah will buy all of us one of those new cars? LOL
I also read somewhere, can't remember where, typical, that these types of technology are being developed for senior drivers as well. It's ashame that people who really need this kind of stuff probably won't be able to afford it. Think we can get our insurance plans to cover this???
Don't forget the cANdy on the boat, dark chocolate is my fav. As for the bartending, I can make anything if someone tells me what to mix. I used to make some wicked iced teas....vodka, gin, rum, triple sec, orANge juice and pepsi, but that was many, many moons ago. I think I'd be willing to try again! Keep me posted! 8)
-
cakes, if you are going to be the professor when we begin our 3 hr cruise, then I'm keeping my gold lame life jacket on at all times! (j.k.) ;)
Ok, the themed cuisine is certainly coming together.
Now, for those that have been on cruises, we need to come up with Spa treatments for those of us that need them (line forms behind me, folks!) and water games for the pools up on deck. You know... horse races, belly flop contests.... yet... we need an added twist....and, of course, games for the onboard casino! Heck, we are already risk takers (are we not??? ;) ), so what games can we come up with? Slots, a given. Heck, it's only money, or should we come up with another idea instead of money to use for betting?
*taps forehead with finger, deep in thought*
Damn... I wish I could feel that!
-
Hey Phyl our cruise director-
I was wondering what your plan was for seating arrangments at dinner? I guess you are going to have to make sure you have enough BAHA people sandwiched in between us single sided deaf. Wow! do you have your work cut our for you! Oh, the most importan thing...NO background music.
YES! for cANdy.  Anyone ever have a chocolate martini?
As for Gilligan's Island...Mr. and Mrs. Thurston Howell III (hope that's right) used to drive me crazy.
big YES for video poker
Just got a call from my doctor, I had a  biopsy done on a lump I found in my breast and it was negative. Yippee! I have been on pins and needles for almost 2 weeks. I want to thank you all for helping to take my mind off of it. First round of drinks are on me!!!! Now if I could only figure out what is going on with the AN side of my head (that is another thread)
Thanks again and have a great day!
matti
-
matti, you wench! FAB news on your phone call today and I no longer have to purchase stock in Ban Solid deodorant! YAY!!! (truly, congrats hun on the terrific news! :) )
Geeze, seating assignments, etc... hmmmmmmmmm...
Ok, who all here is single? Who's bringing spouses/significant others so I know how to seat you all?ÂÂ
Single women, form line behind me....
single males, form line behind...who ever posts first that they are single male
Married or SO couples... form line behind... um....... hell, just anyone. We'll let you on this cruise! ;)
Ok, no loud music. That's a given. Video poker... ok, that works
Now, for theme night in the disco (of course!), should we do a speed dating for the single folks? For the married/SO folks, we can do "The Newlywed Game", even if you've been married for what seems like eons???? (yeah, I've been married...I certainly know that EON feeling!)
As the lovely menu is coming together... we must remember our dear wine steward and order up plenty of ChiANti for ItaliAN night. AsiAN night... noodles, sushi (ok, who's REALLY game for sushi?) and tempura (forget our girly figures all!).  Now, since we will be sailing around the CarribbeAN, we can't forget MexicAN night.ÂÂ
Ok, everyone.. .join in with me now!
*starts to sing*
Love, exciting and new,
Come aboard.
We're expecting you.
Love, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow,
it floats back to you.
The Love Boat
soon will be making another run.
The Love Boat promises something for everyone.
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.
Love won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
It's Looooove!
Welcome aboard - It's Looooove!
(it's TGIF and end of my work day... can you tell?) :)
-
me me me I'm single!
I did the newlywed game on a cruise I went on and I wasn't even married to the guy ;D We took 3rd place..not too shabby for just meeting the night before (he was at my dinner table)
Seating will def. be a challenge. Everyone will have to sit on my right please lol But then again if we use round tables it's not as bad just need to not use the really big tables and limit the number of people at each. We can always change seating nightly so we can all make the rounds.
Phyl you can't form the head of the single line you have a cheeky bloke you can head the cheeky bloke line lol
you know we def. need some major spa activity...massages, facials, mani and pedicures. Of course all spa services for the single gals are done by really hot greek gods Now we're talking eye cANdy ;)
-
*gently pushes the batty-one aside without knocking her over*.... behind me toots... my bloke is over 3k miles away and he ain't coming on the cruise! :D
Hmmmmmmm... round tables... hell, we could lip read or hand gestures/signals... that way, no one speaks loud and if you don't hear someone, you just smile and nod your head (my mother taught me that when we moved from Boston to Atlanta... if we didn't understand someone with a HEAVY southern accent, just smile and nod your head) :D
Greek Adonis for single females at the spa... gawd, I LOVE the way you think! ;) I wonder if we can get YANni (be still my heart) to be a special guest for shipboard entertainment? That'll work!
-
Darn, well I guess I can't sit by you Battyprincess, because you would need to sit on my right as well. Hmmm.... I guess we could sit a BAHA wearer between us.  like I said earlier, our cruise director has a tough job getting all of us seated in just the right spot.
Hey that's not fair, because I am married you won't allow me to have a massage done by a hot greek god?  So who do I get????? Getting a vision... and it's not pretty.
Well, speaking of  hot Greek gods, mine is on his way home from yet another business trip. This time Hawaii, poor guy.  He travels ALOT! Again, yet another reason for my reality tv addiction.
I also do the smile and nod. Always has me wondereing what it is I just agreed to.
have a great evening
matti
-
Ok matti....you can be massaged by the greek god too but ONLY after us Single gals get a crack at em first lol
hawaii...oh tough trip NOT lol Actaully I've vaationed on the big island twice it's nice and relaxing....honolulu is a lot busier.
If you talk loud enough I can hear you...no mumbeling allowed on cruise unless it's sweet nothings in my ear by the greek massage god!
-
matti, batty... I think we're in trouble if both of you are going to be on the cruise! ;) Remind me to make sure your cabins are on OPPOSITE sides of the ship... I'm talking bow to stern! :)
*runs off giggling, stubs toe on floor*
damn balance... dammit. :'(
-
I took my parents to see Yanni in concert in Dallas once...AWESOME...he can be my greek god anytime :-*
Matti and I want to be in the middle of the ship not so far away we'd need teether ropes to hold on to in order to visit with each other lol
Ya know Kilroy is on his cruise now and had the nerve to leave us behind!
how's the toe? You should always wear shoes lol
-
Saw Yanni back in the summer of 1995 in Atlanta (yes, Linda Evans was in the crowd), then saw him last year in Manchester NH. To this day, he still looks like an Adonnis and performs like an Adonnis :P
*hobbles off on sore toe to take cold shower* ;)
P.S. Hoping Kilroy sends us a postcard.. and still cursing my dad for leaving me behind when he sets sails tomorrow.... :'(
-
That's ok they can cruise without us because we're going to cruise with Yanni and they don't get to..so nonny nonny poo poo lol
-
*does best Edith Ann imitation*
... and that's the truth...
*blows raspberry!* :D
That's ok they can cruise without us because we're going to cruise with Yanni and they don't get to..so nonny nonny poo poo lol
-
Tether ropes...a brilliant idea!
Yani...another brilliant idea! He is soooooo gorgeous :-*
In addition to our ItaliAN night cuisine, I forgot LasANga. I am ItaliAN how could I make a mistake like that. For our entertainment we gotta be authentic, so how about watching episodes of the SoprANo's?  Only 9 more days and counting, I love the SoprANo's.
I think we better borrow a little something from Vegas... What happens on the ship, stays on the ship! ;)
-
Oh yeah...of course I have no boyfriend or husband to have to worry about but heck if the greek massage god comes through I'd hate to have my reputation sullied lol
-
Geez this thread about the cruise and the food and Yanni is hilarious--hope you don't mind if I butt in!
I actually lived in the Caribbean for 25 years where I was a sailboat charter captain--one of the first women to do so down there. Just a year before my AN was diagnosed, I helped deliver a 42 foot sailboat from Florida to Charleston, SC, sailing offshore for 3 days and I actually got a little seasick for the first time in my enitre life and I actually had to take medication, which made me giggle like crazy for hours. Luckily one of my shipmates was a doc.
Would love to participate in a cruise as long as we go to ANtigua, ANguilla, ANegada and Barbados ( the locals are called BajANs! I've been to all these places and they are beautiful! :)
There is a Star Clipper line and a Windjammer Line that both offer Sailing cruises on large vessels. A bunch of ANers on a sailboat--what a hoot!
Have a good Sunday
Captain Deb
-
OMGoodness we found out captain stubbing only to find out that he's a she....oh what fun we'll have now....we're still looking for doc I can't believe no one wants to play doctor for us lol
-
I think we should kidnap that cutie Dr. Friedman from House who did my surgery. He's gorgeous, and smart, too. ::) Maybe take Dr. Stefan, the internist,( who my nutty cousin called "Doc Hollywood" to his face,) with us too. He's quite the snappy dresser. Bet he'd look good in cut-offs and a Jimmy Buffett shirt. 8)
Captain Deb
from the IslANd of St. Coix ( a CruzAN)
-
I will gladly step aside as Capt. (I was a little worried about the night driving thing anyway) and hand it over to Capt. Deb, Welcome Aboard! And kudos to you on being the first female Charter boat captain ;D
Anyone seen our cruise director?
Battyprincess - Since everyone seems to have their assigned jobs, I guess you and I will have to be the ones to interview and hire the Hot Greek Gods and of course make sure Linda Evans is denied a boarding pass.
-
Linda Evan's is not allowed on our ship, not unless she's old and ugly and walks like us lol drunken sailor walk...we mut protect yanni and all future greek gods!
was Pppearl our julie?
damn short term memory lol
boarding passes or pics of mri's proving you had an AN or a simple radiologist report with picture id will work too lol wouldn't want any uninvited party crashers claiming to be us now would we?
-
Yes, she is our Julie
Ditto on short term memory. I wonder if I could use that as an excuse at my next Weight Watchers weigh in. "Gosh, I dont' know why I gained a pound this week, I don't remember eating anything bad". "Oh! did I just have a cupcake?"ÂÂ
I think Linda Evans is old, but ugly??? probably never! >:(
-
Matti, You're genius! Now I know why I'm still fat from the decadron...I dont' remember eating anything LOL
We still not a doc...if no man steps up then...we'll have to have an extra greek god to step up. Just saw Fabio on a commerical that cracked me up...(life comes at you fast he was old and ugly) He doesn't do it for me but sean conncey does and he looks smashing in a uniform lol
-
battyprincess - Re: Doc...Just got a glimpse of George Clooney at the Oscars, he or Sean connery would be fine with me. Although George does have some medical experience from his stint on ER.
but Sean is rather sexy and the accent ain't so bad either.
-
*sneaks in, looks around... *
SOMEONE GOT CRUZAN RUM???? SPICED?!?!??!?! :o
*runs over, takes BIG swig of Cruzan to help calm down nerves from thought of meeting with neuro-oncologists tomorrow to plan cyberknife*
Gawd, I have a cruise to plan, don't I?????
*sneaks back out*
-
I recruited onebadass350 bird for our doc...I've seen his pic he's a youngster and a cutie pie plus will be very sympathetic to our needs since he's post op an too!
Inerviewing the greek gods could be real fun! Yep sounds like the perfect job for us...I'm thinking george and sean should come aboard I mean after all george can share his medical expertise with sean and get him up to snuff and that way there should be no waiting YEAH RIGHT lol
Put the Rum down Phly...but as granny used to say on bev hillbillys it's medicinal jed so that makes it all ok lol
-
Love the name onebadass350 bird and I have absolutely no problems with him being younger. :-X
-
ain't puttin' down the rum. I earned it today! ;D
-
Ok you can keep the rum but you gotta share esp now that I can have rum again lol
-
Hi All-
I said I WAS a CruzAN not drinking Cruzan!! Haven't had a drink in 17 years and now I walk like I've had a few sometimes ;D
Just thought I'd check in w/ my favorite crazy chix ;)

Hello ParrotHead Deb:
If you are not going to share the CruzAN with us, then I'm not going to share the Tortuga Rum cake my dad is picking up in Grand Caymen this week for me.
BTW, rumor has it Gopher was seen coming out of your cabin early this am... care to share!??!?!!? ;) :D
Julie/Phyl, the Cruise Director with the most... what is the most, I have no clue! :)
-
HEY! I thought that little bugger would be more discreet! Oh, well, You can take the lady out of the pirate, but you can't take the pirate out of the lady!
I suggest we all tune into Radio Margaritaville to get us in to the mood. You can get continuous commercial free cruising music 24/7 off their website. It's really great--I paint to it all day. Not to mention that they broadcast all of JB's concerts live and in replay.
ARRRRRRRR!
Captain Deb 8)
-
I never trusted Gopher, always thought he was kind of a pervert.
Hey! I need a new title I handed mine over to Capt. Deb. >:(   Can I be in charge of our cuisine? I have a great resume.
matti
-
matti,
you want to be Sous Chef?!!?!?! Kewl.. chocolate and LOTS of it! :D
-
No, I want to be head chef, as I do not like others telling me how to cook  >:(
there is nothing that chocolate can't fix.
-
as I told my husband I would vacume if it would stand straight. It makes me sick to move that fast. Today I am on a all night stay awake for eeg. test tomorrow... dont know what they are looking for but thats ok..as long as they dont find something new tee hee....glad your doing great!
    All of you {health} head people have a great day. I will vacume the living room, do my cross word puzzle-good for the brain. Go to my sons game and the library.
-
matti not to be difficult but I prefer white chocolate lol
oh and strawberries covered in white chocolate
and hershey hugs in white chocolate
white chocoalate macadamia cookies
hmm...what can I have with white chocolate and AN in it? lol
matti: chef
deb: capt
Phly: Cruise director
and I agree...gopher always was a little off lol
-
batty-one, I got fat reading that post, thankyouverymuch! :)
OMG! OMG! Yanni was busted Friday for ... domestic abuse!?!!?!??! :o
*faints in disbelief!*

well then he's voted off the ship! Was it his fault or did some little hussy prevoke him? ;D
You know I'm thinking we need to plan a "3 hour cruise" and get stranded on a deserted island with all our little greek god honeys that are going with us. No women beaters though...I'd hate to have to open a can of whoop ass ya know.
-
Batty,
Read your white chocolate post and thought I would share my love of "White Hot Chocolate" at Starbucks! Have you had it? You may add it to your list! :)
-
No I just found out on monday that I'm no longer considered diabetic...so now to go try all those glorious treats I've done without!
sounds yummy!
-
ok yanni news has hit the airwaves in Fl. Of course he says he didn't do it but I'm thinking that's what a lot of domestic abusers say.
Now did you get a look at Matthew Mcconaughy (Sp?) this morning on the news. I think he can come too. He's a hottie and so personable..can't wait to see his new movie this weekend.
-
And remember Matthew comes naked with bongos and some nice organic substances!
Can I add the long finger pretzels dipped in caramel then in white chocolate to the list?
-
Ok, I see I have some catching up to do. Been down with some sort of something all week. Hit the family last week and is making its way around . I say the more docs we can find, the better! I think we should bring along Dr. McDreamy (he's a hottie) and George (caring, considerate and cute) the intern from Greys ANatomy! It would be ok to bring husbands but who's gonna stay at home with the kids ;)
-
battyprincess - I am with you on the chocolate! I start and end my day with the lovely stuff. I recently tried a white chocolate martini...interesting :-\
Shoegirl - Yes! the hot white chocolate is amazing at starbucks. BattyP you must try it!
Yanni....the tribe has spoken, bring me your torch, your flame is so extingquished....now git!
Gennysmom - where did you see Matthew naked with bongos?
Welcome aboard Matthew :-*  I think he is all we need ladies!
Static - I am leaving my hubby home, we have decided that he will watch everyone's kids.
matti
-
Poor Matthew got taken to the clink by the po-po's a few years ago for playing his bongos in the middle of the night with the window open...neighbors called, illegal substances seen, and off he went. He doesn't deny it, and I just saw him in an interview say "I still play the bongos naked, I just keep the windows closed now". And Penelope would have to stay ashore ;)
-
naked matthew and bongos...on baby tell me where
**running out to buy high powered binoculars with camera ready action as we speak!!**
carmel and white chocolate?
-
I heard that same interview with Matthew and well...........I thought it was a bit odd, but to each his own! He probably should have thought about closing the windows and shades the first time! LOL
-
Barbara Walters got a foot rub from Matthew during her Oscar Interview special. I'm jealous..... :'(
-
Missed the Barbara Walters interview. Needing lots of sleep lately. I want to say it was an Oprah interview I saw. There's got to be photos out there somewhere though.
Caramel and white chocolate works, although I prefer milk chocolate. It's just the whole salty-sweet thing anyway. It's really good. My neighbor made them as treats for Christmas with red and green sprinkles on them. The white makes them more holidayish.
-
ok have your neighbor make some more..tell her it's for a really good cause but we don't need any reminders about the holidays we want something cheerful!
heck if they are good enough we might even let her join our cruise ;D
If not then she walks the plank matey!
-
Oh ya! Ice cream followed by potato chips. Love the whole sweet/salty thing. Love the choc. dipped pretzels too.
I happend to see our delightful Matthew on Regis and Kelly yesterday. He really is gorgeous, isn't he! Is he dating Penelope Cruz?
matti
-
My neighbor is one of the most generous people I have ever met, and I'm sure she'd be happy to make us all lots of pretzel sticks. She doesn't have AN, but has enough other non-normal health issues that she'd fit right in. I actually need to go talk with her about this, I live alone (my boyfriend lives elsewhere) and she's always keeping an eye out for me.
Yes, Mr. Matthew has been dating Penelope for a couple years now (since Cruise boy dumped her).
Can I join the pirate crew? At least post-surgery anyway. I have a blue and gold macaw that would fit right in. She doesn't say "Arrrgg maytie" yet, but I could teach her. She does a pretty good "AFLAC" though.
-
you know aflac doesn't pay for AN's...bummer too!
Penelope..she's not allowed on our cruise! Too bad too sad!
Your neigbor can come esp if she's making the pretzel thingys...YUMMMMMM
Tom Cruise just doesnt' do it for me...I'd take Matthew over him anyday!
-
HEY!
How about Josh Holloway--that cutie who plays Sawyer on Lost? I think I dated his double for a while when I was a skipper!
Of course you can join our motley lady pirate crew Gennysmon!
All you need is an eyepatch or a parrot---or how about an EARPATCH!!!
If we get shipwrecked with Josh, he already has survival skills.
Our 120 foot sailboat is called Princess Batty Wench.
JOKE:
What do pirates like in their salads?
AAAARRRRugula!
What kind of socks do pirates wear
AAARRRgyle!
What is a pirates favorite subject in school?
AAAARRRRithmatic!
See? All you need for our cruise is a sense of humor!
Captain Deb 8)
(smiley with pirate hat, preferably pink)
-
OMG I'm replying to myself!
I'm listening to Radio Margaritaville and they are broadcasting a live Jimmy Buffett concert! What fun! We have to take him with us for our entertainment! He's kind of an old fart, but he loves a good party--this I know for a fact as we used to run into each other in the islands way back when.
AAAAARRRRR!
Seduce pillage and plunder!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Capt. Deb - You crack me up! ;D ÂÂ
I agree with you BattyP... Tom Cruise just doesn't do it for me either. Still thinking about our hot guy Sean from Apprentice :-*
Off to pilage and plunder, hubby's not home so seducing is out! >:(
What is exactly is plundering? Gotta do it right, want to make you proud Capt. Deb!!
Wench MattiÂÂ
(hmmm...I like the sound of that)
-
Yeah, yeah, Josh Holloway. Sawyer. MMMMMM I'm good with that. Can we cover him in chocolate? Do you think his wife would mind? Maybe we can send her and Penelope to Yanni. I hear he's looking :)
Got the parrots (have 3, will share), will have my patch soon. Was actually a sailing wench for a while (helped race a 34 foot Catalina once a week for a year or so), so I have boat legs and some experience. It's funny, I just did a social game here at work (to keep us all from going crazy) and did a pirate theme. I even have some pirate temp tattoos to share!
-
AAAARRR! Gennysmom is a sailor!!!!!
How great!
I think we should lash Sawyer to the foremast of the schooner "Princess Batty Wench " and cover him in chocolate! And leave the wife ashore, Pu-lease!
We can take this sailing cruise off our taxes as "physical therapy for balance disorder."
Captain Deb 8)
-
works for me...love a good tax deduction!
no hottie wives are allowed on board..I'm thinking if they show up the will be forced to walk the plank ;)
Jimmy Buffet is a shoe in for entertainment...nice and casual of course I must now develop a taste for margaritas lol how else can I get to margaritaville?
We need a good comedian for lots to laugh therapy....who shall we take?
eddie murphy, robin williams, joe pesci, chris rock, the blue collar gang? do we know any hot bodied comedians?
-
How about Mike Myers? Not a hottie, but newly single. He'd fit right in. "My name is Evil, Dr. Evil"
Or Kurt Russell in Captain Ron...that was funny!
Yes, Captain Deb, I can crank a winch with the best of them. I was one of the last on, so I always got that cruddy job. Crank, crank, crank, run to high side, sit, hang legs over, scrape every piece of shin skin I have, run, crank, crank, crank, fall down, hit something, bruise, curse....ah, the life of a sailor!!!
-
Kurt Russel is still a hottie so works for me lol
Mike Meyers could work too...
-
I love watching the Blue collar gang, they are hysterical. "And there's your sign..."
Are there any hot bodied comedians?
Kurt Russell definetly still has it.
How come none of our male ANer's on the forum want to join our cruise? I am starting to take it personally >:(
battyP - Didn't you invite onebadass350 bird?
Don't be scared fellas!
matti
-
Oh I know he'd come...he's always up for a challenge...hey we'll even let the guys were cammie velcro lol ;)
-
Okay Gals! I've been reading this wacky thread of yours for quite a while. You're all nuts, you know that don't you??? So..... Can I join??? I'd fit in well. I too have never been on a cruise(or anywhere else!) and now that I'm single again, I'd like to enjoy life with a few friends!!! So include me in! Take Care: luv2teachsped
-
luv2teachsped you are so in...welcome aboard matey!
-
Welcome Aboard Luv2teach!  Awesome now we have 2 virgin cruisers. We are still working on our entertainment, is there anyone special you would like to invite? As you can see, Yanni is out and Matthew is in, but we are always looking for extra eye candy.
We are all in good hands as Capt. Deb is at the helm  ;D
take care,
matti
-
matti shouldn't you be watching tv right now? lol survivor, idol, beauty in the geek? I've had my fix lol
-
battyP - I have 15 minutes and counting. I am split screening Survivor and Idol. talk about getting dizzy! I almost went online to see who got voted off...but I restrained myself.
matti
-
I got some nice eye candy for you Matti--how about Ben Browder(currently on Sci-Fi channel), him along with some others on the show will work for me ;D
-
Greetings ladies?
-
Onebadass350bird - Geez, I thought we might have scared you away. We really are harmless. Welcome Aboard
(great screen name by the way)
matti

I'm not sure what the term "dedicated" means in this context either. I think the first question is what kind of machine is Duke using. A GK is "dedicated" to radiosurgery because it really isn't capable of anything but one dose treatments. If Duke is using a radiotherapy LINAC machine such as Novalis or one of the others, then it would not be dedicated to radiosurgery but in conjunction with a head frame could approach the accuracy of GK or CK. That would be my guess as to what is being referred to based on the information provided.
It is true that UVA is one of the oldest utilizers of the GK and thus one of the most experienced with it. Based on the recent posts relative to misinformation both they and Wake forest have used on their web sites in comparing GK to other systems, I have lost a measure of respect for them from an ethics standpoint. That certainly is no reflection on their medical skills with GK, but rather a reflection of their financial ties to the maker of GK.
I think the more relevant question if radiosurgery is being pursued is which machine and approach is the best. Radiotherapy with treatments of 20-30 days is usually done with proton beam and LINAC machines such as Novalis, Radiosurgery is done by GK and CK with the latter being the more advanced technology. All can be effective, in the end you have to decide which is best for you

ok, now I'm confused..who was mark talking to? Did I miss something?

I was confused as well...

Thanks, it's an old one, predates knowledge of my AN by a long shot
-
Battyprincess , matti et al ,
I'm not sure who I was talking to either :). Actually I was responding to becknell and CarolK relative to the post about radiosurgery at Duke. I think I clicked the reply button for the "good Morning" string you all had going by accident.
The question I was responding to was

Carol  We have not had experience with him, but my husband had surgery at Duke in August for a rather large AN. They left some residue that was too stuck to the brain stem and other structures to remove, and now he needs radiosurgery for the residue. Our surgeon at Duke (Friedman, top dog in neurosurgery) said we could either have the radiosurgery done at Duke or we could go to the Universitty of Virginia for Gamma Knife. He said he' be fine with us having it done at Duke, but he spoke quite highly of the U Va. program, and said he has sent lots of patients there and they have a very renown program, so we decided to look into that. That's one of the most experienced radiosurgery centers in the world  as opposed to Duke, where they haven't been doing it as long. Also upon questioning Friedman said the LINAC at Duke is not "dedicated" for radiosurgery, which I understand means they may have to do some alterations to use it for radiosurgery, which COULD potentially reduce the accuracy, according to what I've read. All that is up for debate, though. I do know another patient who had radiosurgery at Duke, and she seemed to be pleased with it and said the guy who did it was great. I don't know if any of this is helping you or not. Send me an e-mail if you want to talk more.
and my response was

Sorry for the confusion, my bad, didn't mean to interupt your cruise planning ;D
Mark
-
Not a problem I just know I have a comprehension problem and wondered where I took a wrong turn!.
Of course now that you interrupted you'll have to join our cruise!
Do we need to look for a few greek goddesses for your cruising pleasure?
I guess we are being a little selfish with all the greek god talk lol ;)
-
Battyprincess,
Thanks for the cruise invite. I wasn't sure it was open to guys based on all the "beefcake" recruiting going on ;). It gives the rest of us guys a complex :-[
Mark
-
No we were looking for guys to go with us and no one volunteered so then we got on the beef cakes lol Can you tell most of us are single lol Heck I think the married ones were leaving their spouses behind to babysit.
So welcome aboard matey!
-
Mark - Welcome aboard! As I recall (short term memory problem) I think you mentioned in another thread that you live in Danville? I am in San Ramon. You also went through Stanford? I enjoy reading your posts, they are always a wealth of information.
BattyP - I am forced to leave my hubby home, in order babysit some of the single gals on this little adventure, (not mentioning any names) ;)
Saw Matthew on the View, he was giving Joy Behar a foot massage. What is it with this guy and woman's feet? LOL
matti
-
Matti,
It would certainly be a lot of fun to go on a cruise with all you ladies, so I'd be happy to tag along :D
You're short term memory is doing just fine. I do live right up 680 off of Sycamore valley rd and did go to Stanford for my CK treatments with Dr. Chang. I actually use the California Ear Institute in San Ramon for my audiograms when I do my MRI check ups. I think you said you had Roberson do your surgery ( I've heard he's excellent) and I know he owns the CEI offices in San Ramon and Palo Alto
Small world this AN community is becoming
Mark
-
Mark is coming on the cruise!?!?!?!?!?!
YAY MARK! Bout time that butt of your's showed up! ;D
-
YEAH we've got two guys coming with us..now ladies no need to stretch them like gumby man vying for male attention just get in line behind me! :-*
Saw failure to launch yesterday...Funny! Unf I didn't get to see matthew naked, nor did he massage my feet during the movie..what's up with that? ??? Def. good for some laughs to take your mind off your worries.
matti hasn't anyone told you "trouble" is my middle name? I can get into mischief with the best of them at a church social lol
-
AAAAAARRRR Maties,
So you wenches scared us up some deck apes! Some rail meat! (This is racing terminology) Good to have some male AN's aboard. They need physical therapy,too!
HEY! How about Andrea Bocelli for to entertain us? His voice sounds like God himself singing, he's rather cute, and he can't tell if our faces are droopy or not. Can't tell if anything's droopy for that matter!
I still insist on Dr. Rick Friedman for ship's doc.
I suggest we fly into St Thomas to pick up our yacht. Then on to Peter Bay on St. John--about a 3 hour sail. Then we can drop anchor in front of Kenny Chesney's house (I used to live on St. John) and demand that he come out and throw us a beach party! He's buds with Jimmy Buffett, too. And HEY! if we invite Alan Jackson (who's a BABE) all three of them can serenade us and fix us Margaritas and we can dance in the sand till dawn! (really good PT--sand-dancing) And that's just the first night!
Whadda ya think?
Captain Deb 8)
-
Captain Deb I like the way you think!
-
Yeah! battyP picked one up (you go girl) and Mark came here by accident. Or so he says...I am still not buying his excuse. LOL
-
I think if I remember correctly and we know that does't happen too often lol that Mark knows Phyllis so he just sorted slide in. Either way he can come to help even out our numbers!
-
Matti,
No I really did jump in by accident, that's my story and I'm sticking to it ::). Actually, I had been following the cruise planning by all you ladies and was getting jealous about missing out on all the fun, so I'm happy to sneak into the tour group :D
Mark
-
AAAARRR!! Mateys!!!
HEY! We need a ship's purser to dole out the beer and shopping $$$. I thought of The Donald, but with that funky hair and the idea of seeing him in a thong, I have changed me mind.
How about Richard Branson? You know the skydiving billionaire? I need revenge on him anyway. He bought my favorite deserted island in the British Virgin Islands and made it into his private little paradise. I used to take my charter guests to Necker Island--room for only one boat in the anchorage--lots of lobster and conch and you had to know where all the coral heads were to get through the reef. Now no one can go there without an invitation EXCEPT US! Because we is pirates and that's what we does!
Anyway d***ie-boy has lots of Xtra $$ for us to shop with when we get to St. Barts (that one's a whole other story)
Whadda ya think?
P. S. Welcome aboard the Princess Batty Wench Mark!! Ready for some physical therapy?
Captain Deb 8)
-
OK, I'm all in now....I love St. Thomas and St. John, haven't lived there, but spent some good time there, sippin drinks at the Crowsnest and running over to the other side of the island for some Conch Fritters at Flo's snack shack....is that still there???? How I miss the Carribean food. It's been too long since I've been there, need to get back!!!
I have Bill Gates in my neck of the woods, I could drag him along to be purser!!! Melinda would come, not that we'd care, AND they're friends with Bono, so they could bring him for entertainment????
Can we go now???? Are we there yet??????????????????????????????????????
-
My fav place on St. John is Skinny Legs--the ownwers are old old (well, not THATold) friends, Dougie and Moe. Google their website--it's a hoot! Is Flo's the little spot out on the East End of St. John? Yes it's still there.
Gennysmom, you are officially the first mate, if you've had sailing experience and have been to the Virgins!
I'm ready to leave yesterday--it's really dreary outside--I live in the NC mountains in a ski area--not a yacht in sight! Just in my memories and photographs. But I've got a Caribbean soul I can barely control!
Captain Deb 8)
-
I vote Mark in as our purser. He has been following our little adventure from the getgo, and he STILL wants to join us.
Capt. Deb - Thanks for the Donald Trump visual  :o  As for Richard Branson, we will  just have to take a little side trip and wreak some pirate havoc on his little island. He'll never know what hit him when the Princess batty comes ashore.
Gennysmom - Went to the U2 concert last year, (with my ear plug of course) it was amazing. Let's leave the Gates at home, I'll just take Bono. :-*
matti
-
I'm OK being the purser as long as I don't have to carry a purse :o It's an image thing ;) I can play the role of gopher on the Love boat or whoever that guy was that went on to be a congressman or senator from Iowa
Mark
-
Mark - Not sure what the rest of the crew thinks, but I am with you on the purse issue. Just as long as you are generous with the funds and don't question our purchases (kind of like being married) then you are good to go.
I am very happy that the Ear Institute is so close to us. Dr. Roberson only sees patients there once a month, and just from 9-noon, no surgery. He is so incredibly busy. Their new office complex in Palo Alto is amazing. I am having new issues with my AN side, feels like I am carring a 5 lb weight on the side of my head and the nerves have all become highly sensitive. Feburary MRI shows no tumor. Roberson is now referring me to a neurologist. I see him tomorrow. And so the journey continues...
matti
-
You know men carrying purses are not so taboo anymore something to do with the metrosexual revolution lol You know for as many people who have read this post we should have more cruise attendees on our roster!
-
I'll work on getting a grant from the Gates Foundation then, and Mark can stay our purser.  I was only thinking of how nice it would be to have unlimited pocket funds.  Mark needs a good wench to hold the purse for him, then he can be manly!!!
Now we need a bartender!!!!!!!!
Captain Deb - yes, Flo's is that little shack on the other end of the island with all the chickens running around.  I like the Crowsnest mainly for the view...high up overlooking St. Thomas.  They did a pretty mean seared Ahi last time I was there too....and we need to be total schmucks and hit Duffy's Love Shack over in Red Hook on a Thursday just so everyone can do the Thursday night theme night and forget their troubles!!!  Let's go!!!!
Another thing.....I've been thinking....I the true pirate spirit....of getting an AN with the "no" symbol over it tatooed on my head near the spot when my surgery is done.  Anyone wanna join me?
-
Holy cow, I set sail for a week and when I return this thread has nine pages? I created a monster.
If anyone is interested, my balance was pretty good on the ship. I can only assume that my AN and rum "wobbles" ran counter to the motion of the ship. Getting off on the islands was a bit trickier, with the narrow sidewalks and constant eye-shifts between the uneven pavement and tall buildings or tall mountains. Getting off the ship at the end was a LOT trickier, and for the past few days I've been having what feels like motion sickness. That never happened to me before the AN. >:(
-
BattyP - I agree with you, I saw the amount of views  :o regarding this thread. LOL
Gennysmom - I was a little hesitant at first about Bill Gates, but you got me on the unlimited funds. I think it would be in his best interest to join our cruise, because he definitely needs to be loosened up, I just know there is a wild side to this man that is fighting to come out!
Welcome ashore Kilroy. I know when I went on my cruise post AN, I was wobbly for a few days afterward. I found that I could not look out at the ocean, the constant movement of the waves really did me in. I also had some sensory overload while out sight seeing. Glad your back!
-
Ok so what I'm hearing after Kilroy's journey is....
we need Wider planks to come ashore on OR out hottie greek gods to hold us and help us so we don't go falling overboard and looking like the fool....either that or a lot more rum than kilroy had so we could careless ;D
-
I'm thinking we should all travel by those things that Cleopatra used to ride on with 4 men attendants at each corner....see, haven't even had surgery yet and already I've lost words......but I attribute that to turning 40 and being a natural blonde. I just hope this isn't a sign of my future. But anyway, then we just have to recline and be fanned and fed grapes. It's all good.
-
Oh yeah sounds good to me!
So now we def. need more beefy hunks!
-
Hi ! I say skip the wider planks and lets go for the greek gods to carry us! Since I've never been much of anywhere, I'll need a reallllllyyy good guide! luv2teach ;D
-
Poo-poo!
Migraine all day! :'(
Catch ya'll manana
AAAAARRRRR!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Whats this "being fed grapes all day".
I thought it was the other way around. It's the guys who get fed by very scantily clad ladies!!!
Larry
-
Kilroy, it's not the AN making you wobbly... it you just trying to find your "landlegs" again! :)
Capt'n Deb, gawd I hope you are feeling better! :-*
Larry, if you are going to feed me grapes, I ain't wearing scant clothes for you! :D
-
Larry - If you join our cruise it can be arranged. ;) Although maybe you and Mark should find your own scantily clad women. Don't know if you would want to trust our judgement.
Capt. Deb - I just ended my two day migrane. Sending a hug your way.
matti
-
You Larry you and Mark need to come up with your own beauties list. You can see we've been diligently working on our beefy guy list lol
Oh NO Mr Bill!! Capt Deb can't have migraines then she can't captain us. Deb hopefully you're migrain will pass quick..if not then can I have your alloted time with matthew :D
-
My own beauties list, really. Boy , if I said anything other than my wife I would be in serious trouble. But if we're doing the fantasy thing, how about
Heather Locklear
Jennifer Anniston
Teri Hatcher
University of North Carolina
University of Kentucky
Whoops , sorry about the last two I was thinking about my March Madness basket ball picks :D
mark
-
Heather can't go but the other two are just fine. Doesn't your wife have to stay home and watch the kids? do we need to find some stray kids? clean the house? I'm sure we can think of a good distraction lol
Glad you weren't thinking of bringing the entire teams with you lol
-
Mark,
I would have to choose my wife as well (I would anyway - she is a stunner - even at 50). Anyway, as backup, being from down under, I would have Jennifer Hawkins (Miss World) dropping those grapes, one at a time.
Larry
-
Larry,
I'm not familiar with Jennifer Hawkins, but if you can e-mail me a picture I'll consider changing my vote ;D
Mark
-
Ahoy Mateys!
Yo Mark!
UNC? Come on! Got beat by BC in tournament. I'm a HUGE Duke fan (Dad went there for undergrad)
Wenches--we definitley need to take J.J. Redd*** with us even tho he's a little young. Suggest you watch the Big Dance to check him out.
Migraine over, but a little woozy from meds--going to the beauty parlor today as a reward for surviving another whopper! I promise not to have one on our cruise, but I think we need a back up skipper--Gennysmom is a sailor and she can take the helm it I crap out!
I have to ponder the whole taking the spouse thing--I quit seducing, pillaging and plundering when I met Mr. Right (Dr. Love I call him)
Anchors aweigh!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Mark, I am sooooooooooooo squealing to Nancy about what you wrote! I DO have your home number! hehehehehehe! :)
Capt'n Deb, glad to hear you are feeling better and thrilled you are going to pamper yourself today to make up for yesterday. Woozie can be fun, woozie over Matthew is even better! ;)
Hey Batty-one... how is... um.....B.O.B? ;) Is "he" keeping you happy????
*walks off giggling*
-
Oh Phyl, you bad!!! he he he he :o
I agree, you fellas need to work on your own feeders of grapes. As long as they stay away from our beefcakes. Now, as for the spouses, sure, I could say I'd take my boyfriend and be all smarmy, and he IS my hunk-a-hunka, but seriously, if we're all fantasizing here, why go with what you know? You wouldn't fantasize about winning 1K because that's what you have in the bank! You'd go for the 1 Billion because you can.
Now keep reality out of here!!!! ;)
-
I ain't bad... me be kewl! ;D
The cheeky bloke is staying home in London while I'm on this cruise. I've earned it, I'm going and all the Matthew's and such... I am so there! Better cover your manly derriere's cuz I'm coming a-pinchin'! :D
-
All 'a ye naughty wenches be SOOO BAAAAAD!!!!
OK no familiarity--fantasy only!
I'm takin' Sawyer and J.J. as my personal cabin boys and ye can PINCH but that's it! For some reason the list won't let me spell out J. J.'s last name because it thinks it's a naughty word!
Captain Deb 8)
Lover of all "tings" naughty-cal ;)
-
Phyl you just best leave my B.o.B. alone! lol Me no share!
Genny's mom can always be the back up captain..and we can always just stop the boat for some extra party time with the beef cakes if need be!
-
OH!
By the way--
Welcome back Kilroy!
Where did you stop on your cruise? I've been just about everyplace in the Caribbean on my 25 year vacation living down there. Haven't been sailing since my AN was diagnosed and treated but I'm RARIN' to go!
Glad to have you back
Captain Deb 8)
Head pirate wench :o (at least for now--we take turns!)
-
This is all just a fantasy ??? Now you tell me >:(ÂÂ
Glad you are feeling better Capt. Deb!
BattyP - You keeping secrets from me?
I am going to do a google search on Jennifer Hawkins and I will report my findings.
matti
-
I'll be back up captain, but I HAVE to have a bite of Sawyer. Just a small one. I'm not that greedy. After he's doused in chocolate, of course. Deal?
Did we ever figure out a bartender? I feel this is a very important oversight. We already said no to Tom, which is just fine with me....any thoughts? What was the other guys name in Coctail? The Aussie....I can see him but I forget his name. Not too bad looking though...
And for ports of call...I'm in on the V.I.'s, and may I also suggest the Grenadines? Beautiful little cays down there. The Caymens too. And I've always wanted to go to the Seychelles....if we're making a trip of it.
Batty you can bring B.o.B if you want to, and I'm sure no one will want to "share". It's kinda like sharing toothbrushes....we all need our own.
-
Larry - Sorry to have to tell you this, but boarding pass is denied for Miss Jennifer Hawkins. Read somewhere she is not only famous for her Miss Universe Crown, but also her red thong. Hope you understand how someone like her could really mess up all of our well thought out plans. Mark's list is ok, as most of them are starting to show a little wear and tear. ;D
Gennysmom -You just keeping plannning our ports of call, you're doing an awesome job! I think (short term memory kicking in) Static volunteered to be our bartender. Am I right BattyP??? help me with my memory!
Again, please accept our apologies Larry ;)
-
Yeah I remeber static offering...
someone else did too I thought? (darn i forget)
red thong? and what praytell is wrong with a red thong? What am I missing????
-
You all are sick puppies and I'm bringing ALL of my red/black/blue/flowered/leopard print thongs with me on the cruise! :D Matthew, come eat your heart out!
yo, batty-one....... so, is BoB all he's cracked up to be? LOL! :P
-
You Phyl are so bad!!
Heck yeah..gawd I hope he doesn't get a crack in him ::) (inncent I tell you I'm innocent!)
-
Oh yes, the Grenadines!
I remember trying to drink all the wine they had on St. Vincent one afternoon and waking up in Bequia!  What a lovely place.  What I can rememberBeen to Mustique, too.
On one of my all-girl cruises, a bunch of us cruised in topless into the anchorage in Jost van Dyke and there was this guy doing his dishes on deck and he gawked at us so hard, he dumped his dishwater, along with all the dishes and silverware, overboard!  He was down there with his mask and snorkle picking them up off the bottom for an hour so his wife wouldn't find out what he'd done when she got back from the bar ashore.  HEE  HEE  HEE!
I just got back from the beauty parlor and boy, do I look FABULOUS!
I wear my hair really short, but it's thick and you can't even see the big Frankenstein scar on me noggin!
The cutie hunky Aussie bartender is Brian Brown and YES, he can be our bartender.  They can't all be twenty-somethings, can they?
Who was going to be our splay-foot dance instructor?  Maybe we need one of those cuties from "Dancing with the Stars" as long as he's straight.
I think this is the longest thread in the history of this group. Definitely the wildest!!!
You wenches make my day over and over again
What's the word for a male wench--don't want to leave out the fellas
AAAAAARRRRR!!!!
Pillage On!
Captain Deb 8)
-
I am NOT bad... well...er... ok, I am! There! I admit it! But.... I'd rather be crazy than insane! :)
Cap'tn Deb, you wook mawellous!!!!!!!!! Glad you enjoyed your day of pampering! All the girls need that every now and then! OMG, we need a Swedish masseuse on the ship/cruise!!!!!!!!!
St. Thomas, best alcoholic milk shakes... small shack called "Utter Delight"... no joke, on a cow farm! You can sure smell it when you pull up to it but still, best shakes around! *wipes drool from lips*
-
BattyP - There is nothing wrong with a red thong, but when Larry's fantasy girl is wearing it, there is. Remember our Greek Gods? I want all their attention on me, not her! I'm old, I can't compete with that young stuff  ;)
Phyl  - Batty is right, you are a bad girl!
Capt. Deb - I think Boppie was going to be our dance instructor. I want a body like Stacy's from "dancing with the stars".
Enjoy the evening with Dr. Love  ;)
-
Brian Brown!!!  That's it!!!  I remembered that name, but for some reason thought it wasn't right.
OK, so speaking of cruises I have a favor....I actually am really scheduled for one down the Rhine in June, and need all the good wenchy willpower thoughts so that when I go to the Doc on Monday, they will say "hey, 3.1 with brainstem pressure, no problem, we can wait till July for surgery". ÂÂ
Extra bonus good thoughts please.....and I will remember all of you when I'm in Belguim for 5 days, if it can wait, which is where good chocolate is born.  Chocolate.....mmmmmmm
-
Gennysmom,
Well I hope all goes well for you at the docs and that that little bugger decides not to get any bigger! Where are you having your surgery? My biggest priority was saving my facial nerve so I went out to LA to House.
I've always had a pretty vain streak when it comes to my looks! Even tho I had a small tumor, The option of radiosurgery was still not exact enough for me. Even in the three short years since it all happened there has been more technological progress.
OOOOPS! I actually got serious there for a moment!
Anyway we'll be thinking of you!
Captain Deb 8)
-
I think hands down Capt Deb is worse than me..I've never sailed topless..swam maybe but sailed..er oops well there was the one time I mototboated and got busted lol SHHHH dont tell
Genny I'll be happy to take your place on your cruise and fill in for you while you're having that nuisance taken care of..hows that for good thoughts? :D I'm sending you good thoughts but am worried they wont' hear me (mine was 2.8cm with brain stem involvment and they gave me 6 weeks to get on the table) Funny thing was....had I of not gotten a faster appt it wouldn't have happened in 6 weeks.
We'll let you go for chocolate..yeah we'll tie the doctor up and Capt Deb, Phyl, and mattie(if she'll leave her husband home) have ways to making him talk...your doctor is a him isn't he? If not then we better call in Mark and Larry for reenforcements ;D
-
Gennysmom - Sending positive vibes/thoughts/wishes and hugs your way. ;) We will all be with you on Monday! hope the exam room will hold all of us.
BattyP - you never cease to amaze and surprise me! :o  Yep! hubby stays home cause you need a chaperone. (hey that rhymes)
-
HEY! If ya got it --flaunt it!
Poor Dr. Love has the sniffles (he get's the sniffles--I get a brain tumor--karma maybe?) I made him some brownies-gotta go take em out of the cooker!
Captain Deb 8)
(Dr. Love's main squeeze) ::)
P> S> I'm leaving him ashore for the cruise, poor baby!
-
On the same cruise as a Matti, Batty, Boppy and Pearler - you gotta be kidding!!!! We'd need danger money to go with you guys. Capt Deb, I am a bit concerned that there will be too many wacko's on this cruise. The shipping line will never cope. better sell my shares first.
Larry
-
I've been busy getting caught up since I got back, but I see that two more pages have been added. Wow. Wow.
Ok, to answer questions...
1. I'm not sick because I'm trying to reacquire land legs. I never had this problem before the AN. I suppose it would only matter to those of us whose AN causes equilibrium problems, but who knows for sure...
2. We went to Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, the Dominican Republic and a little island called Cayo Levantado. St. Maarten was by far the best (love their guavaberry rum), the Dominican Republic was by far the worst (a total waste of a stop if you ask me). St. Thomas is still my favorite island.
3. To answer a comment from about 35 pages ago, the French people in St. Maarten were pleasant and friendly. No complaints at all there. The French people on our whale watching boat were a completely different story and showed me the reason that France has never really been a naval power. They refused to follow directions and the whole group of them blew their cookies (without requesting a baggie first, yuck). I guess it's easier to be nice when you live in a tropical paradise than when you're seasick on a boat?
4. I'll be the bartender. I have some talent. :)
-
Kilroy wants to be Issac and Larry has bail money for us... yep, we're all set! :D
-
Hey Mon!
We don't need no stinkin' cruise line! We be sailin' we own boat! I have taken hundreds of people sailing over the years on all sizes of boats--the one I have in mind is a 120 foot three masted schooner named (re-neamed) Princess Batty Wench! We got us a captain and a first mate and cabin boys and a bartender!
Yes, the French West Indians are lovely sweet people and my favorite island is St. Barts, or it used to be back in the Buffett days--he owned a funky little place called Autour de Roche. Kind of a Tiki Bar guesthouse.
Keep the fantasy Alive!
Captain Deb 8)
-
I'm thinking we be needing that bail money for Captain Deb..she's a wild thing ya know!
So Kilroy and Static are our bartenders...YIPEE it will take two of ya to keep us all happy!
Kilroy I'm thinking having to get your land legs back has more to do with how long you were on the ship and the rough seas than the AN...Capt Deb what's your opinion? After all you are the expert ::)
-
Wacko's? geez Larry, I represent that! ;)
-
Ok, Ok, maybe I should have put gorgeous whacko's.
-
Hey, no wackos here! OOPS, Matti's already beating me to the tongue lashing. You go!!!!!
To our dear bartenders....my faves are mojitos and lemon drops...are you all good with that??? I can get by with a vodka tonic I suppose.
You know, I think this will be a great rehab post surgery for me. Looking forward to it....I'll make sure to get buckets of Belgian chocolate and German beer on my first trip. I'm even supposed to be going to Amsterdam on that trip....hmmmm....what could I pick up there????
(you'd never know I work for a prosecutor's office, he he!)
-
Kilroy I'm thinking having to get your land legs back has more to do with how long you were on the ship and the rough seas than the AN.
Nope, sorry, it's the AN. I've been gone that long before, and the seas weren't rough at all this time. I suppose it's my own fault for treating a an equilibrium problem with swaying floors. :P
I'd bet Amsterdam has something that could fix all of our symptoms.
There's an outstanding hefe weiss (beer) from Munich called Franziskaner. I think they must've been bought out by Spaten, and I've been seeing it in the local beer coolers. Thick, yet light and refreshing, massive head but not fizzy, and one of the coolest corporate logos in the world.
-
I could definitely use help bartending. Kilroy can do all the mixers, I'll just stick to the shots! I think I can handle that, but the mixers ??? Lately I can't think and chew bubble gum at the same time, lord knows what you'd be drinking! LOL
-
Pepto Coladas?
-
Ahoy Mateys!
Actually the best treatment for equilibbrium problems IS a swaying deck! At PT they put me in this contraption I called the "Phonebooth from Hell" sort of a parachute harness in a booth with moving walls and swaying floor--pretty wild!
I delivered a small sailboat up from St. Vincent in the Grenadines to Annapolis with one stop in St. Thomas. Lost the engine 1 week out and we were 18 days at sea nonstop. When we got to Annapolis, I fell off the sidewalk curb before we even got to the pub AAAAARRRRR! Took about 3 days to get landlegs back. Only long distance sailors know how a lot of us feel 24/7!
And, yes I am a bit of a wild thing! I make everything....GROOVY!
Hence, my suggestion of using a sailboat for our cruise/PT rehab!
Larry-- I haven't heard what your function is on this here vessel!! Helping Mark pass out fun tickets, maybe? Everyone needs a job--oiling up the cabin boys is Batty's and I'm sure you don't want to help her with that, so whatcha gon do matey--besides critique our personalities?
AAAARRRR!
Captain Deb
-
mmmmmmmmmmm el Capitain,
Job, ah, ah, not quite sure, I know, I could be the official shark spotter. I have excellent experience at this. I have had a few jobs where I overlook the bay and nominated myself for this role and over a 6 year period, not one fatality from a shark attack.
I do have certain conditions to be met, that is, being fed grapes all day by those lovely scantily clad ladies. It's a tough job shark spotting!
Larry
-
Capt. Deb - I am with you on the "phone booth from Hell"! I kept reaching out to the walls for support and the PT kept yelling at me to stop doing it, that I wasn't concentrating enough. I told her that with the large amount of hand prints I am seeing on your walls already, concentration must be a big problem here! She was a mean ole PT! >:(
Hope Dr. Love is feeling better!
matti
-
AHA!!
Larry can be our LIFEGUARD when we stop to go skinny-dipping with the beefcakes! ::)
Dr Love is feeling much better, thanks!
Captain Deb 8)
(who's groing older but not UP!) ;D
-
Phone both from hell...my hell has been a trampoline which I have to march in place on with my eye's closed, or bounce in place with my eyes closed.....I want to melt, burn, torch, toss overboard that hideous contraption. Shall we hook it to the phonebooth from hell?
Oh goody everyone has a job and no one took my very important job! Heck, i don't even need any grapes being fed to me. I'd hate to choke on a grape I might lose my job! ;D
-
Lifeguard is fine, providing I get to rescue Jennifer Hawkins!
-
I see we will need some keel-hauling. The Aussie boy just isn't backing off the previously banned babe.
Thinking of that, do we also need bodyguards? To protect our sweet little wench behinds? And to insure that violators are keel hauled or walk the plank?
-
HEY! Chocolate-covered Matthew can guard my body anytime! ::) Although he might be rather slippery!
Captain Deb 8)
the Naughty-cal Gal
-
you all are sick puppies and any chocolate covering Matthew is what my diet requires! :P
-
Hey Phyl - Congrats on reaching Sr. Member of the ANA forum, you go girl! :-*ÂÂ
Matti
-
Ya Phyl,
You make having this "problem" almost FUN!
Captain Deb
-
dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What happens at the next posting milestone? Anyone know? Do I get a cash reward or a week away with Matthew covered in chocolate?
*runs around saying.....*
I'M THE QUEEN OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
*faints in disbelief!*
-
Attention Crew of the Princess Batty Wench:
Larry is to be our "master-at-arms"--ie the ship's po-po! Responsibilities include :
Protecting us gorgeous wenches from being plundered by other pirates, unless we WANT to be plundered, of course!
Carrying the bail money for Batty and Phyl (Moi?)
Looking out for sharks and jellyfish while we wash the chocolate off of Matthew in the sea. :o
Making sure we get back to the ship after a wild night at Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke
Clearing customs (I have a wild story about THAT one!)
Any more jobs for him need to be posted soon.Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated
Thank you very much,
Sincerely yours,
Captain Deb 8)
Skipper, s/v Princess Batty Wench
-
Everyone that has ever been through customs has a wild story about it. My first run in was with the highly decorated officer assigned to the Sunday morning shift at the Port of Miami... Rotten little worm.
This time they didn't even give our bags a token pass through the scanner. Are you scared yet?
-
My story has to do with a West Indian customs officer named Fat Albert, who never wore shoes and whose filing system consisted of plywood tables on saw horses--piles of paper held down with rocks, in his little customs house on Jost Van Dyke--population 123. No electricity or running "wata" on de island atall, mon!
If you want to hear more.......
Captain Deb 8)
-
Mine has to do with US Customs in Boston on a return trip from seeing my cheeky bloke in London, some "adult" items in my bag and giving the Customs agent Cadbury UK Chocolate bar (NOTHING like USA Hershey made Cadbury... ranks up there with Belgium chocolates!) so he wouldn't open my bag. :P
-
Phyl,
"Some adult items hmmm. Actually, I can tell you guys a little story about adult items. may as well.
Some years back, in my younger days, I worked with a guy called Dario, who liked to think of himself as "The Italian Stallion" - I won't comment on this as it could ruin my reputation. Anyway, he enjoyed "adult theme things" and was always perusing these magazines looking for new toys (not Ernie or Bert muppets either). At this point in time, he was going out with a lady that was rather larger than him, in many ways, and one morning, his girlfriend rang in. She told Dario's boss that Dario won't be coming in today. When asked why, there was a hessitancy and she said that "we lost the keys to the handcuffs". We didn't see Dario that day but when he did come into work, he was bright red and did get a real ribbing from the guys.
Got any of your stories to share Phyl? or will they be double RRRRRRR rated.
Larry
-
Great story Larry.. and as for me and my cheeky bloke and "adult content" in my luggage... my lips are sealed! :-X ;)
-
So Larry,
Will you, as "Master at Arms"  be keeping the keys to the adult toychest?
Captain Deb
-
Me and Jen (first name terms now). Might lose those keys though!
-
It's 9.00am now and I am meant to be adding some value to the company that puts a dollar into my bank account but i think I'm infected with Phyl's disease. I keep coming back into this message board.
This is a great thread, everytime i go into it, I completely forget about the other woes. That's real therapy!!!!!!!
Actually, looks like I'll be coming over to Seattle in September for the Star Trek expo (go you trelkkies). Watch out Seattle, this is a down under invasion about to happen. Sorry capt Deb, I'm not sailing over, although if Jen comes along, mmmmmm (whoopsie, better not let my wife, aka, better half, see this).
Back to work for 5 minutes until another one of you mad monks, posts.
Larry
-
G'day to ya Larry! 'Bout time you woke up! It's infectious, isn't it?
Ya know, I'd love to meet so many of you here. I know there are ANA conferences and local meeting and such... but would be great if we could all meet up. Larry, if you are coming to the States, I'll meet you in Seattle (as long as it's not raining..ok, scratch that last thought).
-
Just a clarification....we won't be washing the chocolate off of Matthew...That's just not fun enough. ÂÂ
I work for a city, and it's amazing how many times the police get called to free someone from handcuffs.  No lie.
Ever been to Seattle, Larry?  September is a good month.  My birthday month.  Scotty lived in the area until he passed away, I think.  I could arrange to take you out on the sound and see how you fair before our real cruise!  I know what you mean though...I'm having a not so great day, and here is the place I'd rather be....
-
Master Larry--
I'm at work right now, too. Up in my studio working on a painting commission. I work with the computer screen next to the easel with my image I'm working from displayed. I keep the forum portal open all the time so I can lurk around between brushloads of paint!
Lurk, lurk, lurk.
I've never been to a Star Trek convention, but I have been to outer space a few times.
So cool that you'll be visitin the States!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Back again,
I haven't been to Seattle or the U.S for that matter. My brother has lived in Seattle for a few years and loves the place (I believe it rains from time to time!!!!)
My mother is shouting myself and my brother to the convention for my 50th (old fart, excuse the english but that's native tongue to us). pretty good presie I think.
Phyl, Your language style is improving but you'll have to work on that accent!
off to a mtg now so catch ya (sooner than later i think).
Larry
-
It actually rains more in New York than in Seattle...just ours is spread out a little more....a little lots of days. It's more sunny than people think but we lie and say it's raining all the time to keep this slice of heaven to ourselves. Lots of good sailing here too.
-
I wanna go to seattle..my brohter lives there ...
When in Sept is your bday? You know ALL truly great people are born in Sept. That's because mine is :o
Phyl I'm shocked :o you had adult toys in your luggage.....So you've been with Bob too eh? lol :P
-
I think Bob gets around.
Mine is the 12th....when is yours?
I think we need a pre-cruise convention in Seattle in September...it seems like many of you have some connection here, and, ahem, I'm here, so it's all good!!!
-
You guys get more time while at work at the computer than I do. Although I'm on a computer alot, there's usually someone looking over my shoulder so my posting time is limited. My girls are out tonight so I can actually use a computer at home! This thread has been great reading. I'm with batty on the chocolate, gotta have chocolate and lots of it, always makes me feel better ;D Not sure if I could meet up with you guys in Seattle though. While you are all out on the left coast, I'm out here on the right coast, just outside of Philly (thank goodness I'm outside of Philly as opposed to inside)! My thoughts are always with you all though ;)
-
Mine is Sept 7th. You know my last two birthdays really sucked. 2 years ago my birthday was in the middle of a hurricane. We had three in a row. My parents had to put their dog down on my birthday as she got in too much distress (she was very old), and last year I was slightly out of it as it was only about 3 or 3 weeks post op and things didn't go so peachy for me. I'm thinking we need to have one heck of a birthday bash in Seattle!!
-
Static then I vote we all go to Disney World the greatest vacation spot on earth so they claim. It could be like the superbowl commercial. Joe Montana you just won the superbowl what are you going to do next...(joe says)" I'm going to Disneyworld" ;D
Everybody (insert your name here)..."You just had a brain tumor removed, zapped, watching...what are you going to do next..."I'm going to Disneyworld" ;D
We can also jump a cruise to the island from port canaveral ;D
-
Do they have rollercoasters at Disney World?--that would be ahoot? Talk about PT. The year before I was diagnosed I went with all my crazy Caribbean lady captain pirate friends to Busch Gardens to celebrate Captain Marge's 75th. We rode rollercoasters all day--sure glad I got to do that before my balance nerve went bye-bye!
Seattle sounds great! I've never been to that part of the country, but have friends who've cruised up there.Do they have chocolate up there?
Captain Deb 8)
-
I don't know about Seattle and chocolate, but I'm about 1-1/2 hrs. from Hershey, PA. Lots of chocolate there!
-
This is sort of interesting.  My husband and I went on a cruise around 1994....AN would have been along for the ride, but I didn't know it.  After we were done with this 3-day cruise, I was off-balance and dizzy and it felt like I was still sloshing around aboard ship!  That lasted about 2 or 3 weeks. I am wondering now if the AN caused that or made it worse or if that's just something that happens to some people anyway.  Interesting.
-
Yes, we have several Godiva's stores, and there's See's.  We're a port city, so if we can't make the best here, we import it.  We did start Starbucks here, and our Starbucks actually tastes good.  I've been to other Starbucks around the country and yuck.  They don't have it down. ÂÂ
Batty, I'm sure I'm going to spend this birthday dealing with post-op issues, so we will be quite the pair!!!!  I'm a 65'er, how close are you?
-
I looooove Starbuck's, I'm there.
There is something to be said for America!
I lived outside the continental US for 1/2 my life, and where I live now is pretty rural and remote--no Starbuck's, mall, or freeway for about 100 miles!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Godiva's is good stuff, but Starbucks........... I don't drink coffee, don't even like the smell of coffee. I get all my caffeine from chocolate ;D
-
Hey batty - I'm on Sept. 1st   Virgo's Rock!!!! Meet you and Gennysmom in Seattle ;D
ÂÂ
-
Yeah we're gonna have a party!
65er? I'm 41...I didn't get my surprise party for my 40th due to the hurricane and it had to be cancelled, and I don't remember much but eatting ice cream in the dark for my 41st...gotta do something exciting for my 42nd!
No coffee for me..love the smell hate the taste. I couldn't get over on just about every street corner in seattle there was a coffee shop. We can have hot chocolate~ YUM
-
Batt P
Which Hurricane? Maybe THAT'S whats wrong with us!!!!
I went through Hugo on St. Croix in my 200 year old stone house--a category 5 when it hit us. The roof of my house peeled off while I was in it. Hid in the shower stall with a bureau pushed in front and the sofa cushions over my head with 100 lb dog and kitty inside! :o
For years I attributed my hearing loss and "full" feeling in that ear to the loudness and low barometric pressure.
Enuff to make anyone a little crazy, eh!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Hot chocolate.... I'm there! I'm a 45er.
-
Batty - 65er....1965. You must be 1964. No wonder you, matti and I are so nutty....we're all virgos, and I'm blonde to boot. What a combo!
Static - you rock, the 5ers are the best. My boyfriend is a 55er, and all the really standout people I've known were born in a 5 year.
Hot chocolate works....they've got that new specialty kind too. I haven't tried it yet, I'm afraid of getting hooked and being bad, straying from my sugar free vanilla nonfats.
-
from the land of "cold as a witch's... yeah, you know the rest"... hot chocolate works for me! :D
-
When we're done with Seattle and the cruise, I wanna go visit Phyl. Fenway's on my list....have always wanted to go to B-town, but have not made it yet. Hit Yankee stadium on 7/4/04...they played the Red Socks and we sat in a Socks area....they were cool with us being Mariners fans. Would love to go see the Socks play the Yankees at Fenway!!!
Hitch Matthew and the booth to the bowsprit, we're headed for THE harbour!!!!
-
I thought my ringing ears was due to the pressure changes from the hurricanes and thought it would pass when we were done running for our lives lol You know they came by so fast I don't remember their names..Ivan, Charlie, Florence I think? Seems like I'm missing one.
I remember the first time I turned on the tv after surgery (after 5 days in icu) all I could see was a big red circle...had no idea what they were talking about as I couldn't hear the tv and couldn't focus enough to read anything...it was Katrina.
Yes I was born in 64...
So first stop Seattle,
Next stop Bean Town?
Third stop down under? oh I mean austraila?
Hey Phly I got four stars too does that mean I need posters anonymous too? :P
-
Ok, so I thought you meant the er's as the years old you were LOL! Must be all the static in my head that doesn't allow me to focus properly (sounds like a good excuse to me). I was actually born in 60, which makes me a 45er as in years old LOL! Am I still in?
-
Static of course you are in..especially since you figured it out and clarified it for the rest of us ;)
-
I went through Hugo on St. Croix in my 200 year old stone house--a category 5 when it hit us. The roof of my house peeled off while I was in it. Hid in the shower stall with a bureau pushed in front and the sofa cushions over my head with 100 lb dog and kitty inside! :o
I knew a lady that was on St. Croix for Hugo and I saw her pictures. They looked more like the freaky tornado pictures than hurricane pictures, 2x4s punched through car tires, etc. Total devastation... that must have been terrifying.
-
Well I for one vote for NO Hurricanes during our cruise..Capt Deb can you see to that order please? :P
-
I am feeling old >:(
-
I have a semi-serious question that I'm going to post here. One, it'll give the thread a little legitimacy. Two, everyone on the board will see it and (I'm sure) answer me. And three, there are so many Senior Members lurking here that I'm sure I'll get qualilty answers.
Do any of you have any experience with a drug called Carbamazapine (sp?)? It's an epilepsy and bi-polar drug that my doctor wants me to take. Unfortunately, it's another "don't-stop-taking-me-or-I'll-kill-you" drug, and I don't want a repeat of the scenario that I had with Decadron. Help?

It won't be like Decadron because it's more likely to make you drowsy rather than amp you up. The drug basically makes your brain cells less "excitable", so if you do get a script for it, perhaps you can share with some of the members on this thread. It's supposed to help with neuralgia, so perhaps somebody here may have actually taken it if they had that problem. I doubt though that it will be as hairy as a steroid. I don't have experience with it as far as taking it, but I have gone through pharmacy tech schooling, oh yeah, and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night (just had to stay on point with the insanity here ;) ).

I went through Hugo on St. Croix in my 200 year old stone house--a category 5 when it hit us. The roof of my house peeled off while I was in it. Hid in the shower stall with a bureau pushed in front and the sofa cushions over my head with 100 lb dog and kitty inside! :o
I knew a lady that was on St. Croix for Hugo and I saw her pictures. They looked more like the freaky tornado pictures than hurricane pictures, 2x4s punched through car tires, etc. Total devastation... that must have been terrifying.
My Daddy moved there in 1968 and I sort of followed him down there--he was the island veterinarian.
And yes it was really terrifying, although not nearly as terrifying as having a hole drilled in my head big enuff to jam a tennis ball in!
Actually, it got me off the island and up here to study art (NC mountains) where I met the love of my life, Dr. Love. Talk about making lemonade!
I had a 2x4 poke thru the 3/4 inch plywood ceiling of my house like a straw thru a McDonald's lid!
And it blew all the paint off my brand new truck and the vinyl bed liner, too. I never did find my washing machine.
Oh, well! It was time for a change anyhoo!

Yo Kilroy, I have been on 2 seizure meds since my surgery--Topamax--which seemed to make me into an emotional basket case (tryed it twice)but I lost 12 lbs., and Inderal. These supposedly were used as migraine preventatives. Who knows if they worked or not as my migraines really never seemed to let up. I went off the Inderal last year--tapered off it actually.
Is your doc putting you on these for something related to your AN? Don't know the status of your AN--w/w, Surg or Zapped.

Batty I think it was Andrew that you were missing. I don't ever want to go through a hurricane!!!
I have a total case of the brain spaceys today. Having trouble putting together thoughts to even post. Came up with Andrew though!!! I had to move office spaces, from one cubicle to another and it's done me in for the day! How sad!!!!!!!!
-
Darn I did it again...DUH didn't hit the button and lost my post and train of thought...
andrew was a few years back that levelled homestead wasnt' it? Wilma, and Rita I think hit in 2004 (I forget the rest of what I was saying...)
Jamie welcome aboard.

Congrats Capt Deb...Of course you're still behind Phyl and I LOL Tis ok, we love you anyhow! ;)
-
Ship's Pharmacist---YaY! Another Seafarin' Wench!
Darn this unisex name! Why couldn't my parents have stuck with James, lol. ;D
-
Funny Jamie I assumed you were Male lol Since capt deb referred to you as a wench I thought she knew otherwise..We need more males on board..esp if you're single male ;D
-
You assumed correctly. :) I have no problems being on a boat where the females outnumber the males whatsoever. :D
-
You know if you did we'd have to have your head examined :o
I notice you didn't claim to be single lol
-
OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
So SORRRRRY!!!
My favorite niece's name is Jamie!
So yer a seafarin' swashbuckler then, aye?  GOOOOOD
We need more deck apes and rail meat (Them's sailin' terms, matey!)
Welcome aboard the Princess Batty Wench!
Captain Deb 8)
(watch out for Batty P--she's a pincher!!!!!!) ::)
-
Not true Capt Deb I dont' pinch or bite for that matter...Unless you want me to :-*
-
Well,
I heard Laz has a set o' teethmarks on his bum that sez different! :o
C.D.
-
No he's happily married, kilroy is happily engaged...they are off limits...Now Matthew might have a few nibble marks ;)
-
I was on both inderal and topomax for migraines but neither really helped me either :-\ I just take excedrin, tylenol or advil and deal with it, also try to stay outta bright lights. I do take lexapro though. Does make me feel much better. I had been in a downward slump for quite some time so I'm gonna stick with the lexapro since it makes me a much happier person ;D
-
Good thing we now have a Ship's Pharmacist to dole out the happy pills! We'll locate the happy pill locker right next to the bar in case any one gets morose from too many Margaritas that Static makes. (Static, you are the bartender right?)
NO ONE CRUISES FOR FREE!
EVERYONE GETS A JOB!
I think someone needs to make a crew list to keep this all straight!
AAAAAAARRRRR!

In my annoyance that this thread was called a waste of somebody's time I say it's time to BUMP it to the top.
Jamie, welcome aboard, hope being an old salt is what you aspire to!!!!!!!  I say your job is to distract all the ladies the other guys want to bring so that Matthew, Sawyer, Kenny, and our boys don't even notice them.  And, of course, run the ships dispensery.  Quartermaster ye are!
Ready the plank, I'm fixin to use it soon!!!
-
WHO said this thread was a waste of time?????
Physical therapy is a WASTE OF TIME?
Master-at Arms LAZ!!!!!!!
Prepare to KEELHAUL THE SUN O' A BEACH!!!!!!!
The plank is too merciful for the blaggart!!!!
AAAAAAARRRRRR!

Attn Crew!

Will get you all in the moood!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Welcome aboard Jamie,
We males need some sanity on board to guard against these wcky wenches. I didn't log on yesterday and I have missed 14 episodes of "The cruise called Wacky" Taken me ages to catch up.
To clarify those teeth marks....... ah, best not, the CIA might be watching and I might have sirens going everywhere. Actually, truth be known, it was that darn superman cape that got caught up in the chandelliers that did me in but thats another story. Any chandelliers on board Capt Deb?
Laz
-
But of course there will be..what else are we suppose to swing naked from?
Someone referred to this a waste of their time in another thread after blasting us in that thread for wasting time having our comedy relief. Guess thats what she means?
Humor is never a waste of time!
Cleaning
Laundry
washing the car,
doing the dishes
How there's some real time killers for ya! ;D
-
Blimey, Mate!! A' COURSE we gots chandeliers!  This here vessell be ELLY-GUNT as they comes!  Gots have SUMPIN' to swing on ain't we! ;D
AAAAARRRRR!!!!
Captain Deb 8)
-
BattyP - twas indeed what I was referring to.
Yikes ye maties, they're blowing up pirate ships today, we may need some cannons! And who to man them???? Or will BP just be distracting them as she's hanging from the chandeliers topless??? OOOO....maybe she's a fembot!!!!!!!!!
Harry Potter is on the Disney Channel and I'm relaxing and most enjoying it....I'm such an addict.
-
I volunteer to get back into my superman lycras (sight for sore eyes) and scare those pirate ships back to the Carribean ready for Johnny Depp to strut his stuff on them.
A slight drawback, I am about as fast as a dead snail, less powerful than a feather duster (although feather dusters have their uses - don't they Phyl???? what with your fluffy handcuffs.......) where was I, oh and unable to high jump an ant, well i could but my vertigo would kick in)
I tell ya, they'd be no match for me, I have just had a hurricaine named after me!!!!!
I think it's hitting some part of our coast.
I apologise to all posters on this site, until these wacky wenches zapped us with their rpoton guns full of wackiness, I was relatively sane, now I am suffering with P.A and will start to drink Baileys - no, no,no - gotta be Southern Comfort after fellow 60's drunk janis Joplin.
Hey Capt'n Deb, whats the music theme on the cruise - better by some good old fashioned rock and roll with those supergroups - led Zeppelin and Cream! - saw a great interview with Ginger Baker once (Cream drummer). He was asked how many symbols he had - Ginger looked at him and said 8. The interviewer then asked him, pointing to one close to him, "what's this one for", Ginger looks at him with glazed eyes (a bit of substance abuse in their I think) and responded with the informative statement of .... wait for it..... "that one's for playing on". Now batty, that means hitting it with a stick, not playing as you would be thinking.
Laz
-
Larry, feather dusters are quite... er... fun! :P
Well, looks like the crew is taking form... Plotting our ship's entertainment now... more than just the belly flop contests at the onboard pools... more than just chocolate dunking for anyone named Matthew that come on board. BTW, told Dr. Medbury on the CK Support Board about the cruise... all of his drinks are to be doubles, on the rocks (according to him, OKC, no rocks so... he wants rocks!)
Keep AN eye here for upcoming shipboard entertainment.. trust me... you'll want to know! :P
-
Lar, hitting what with a stick? I'm not a violent person really I'm not so why would I want to hit him with a stick? ???
Phyl what is OKC?
Genny's mom what is a fembot?? Did you just insult me? :o
See I'm learning things here so this is an eductional posts!
Some lady makes chocolate thingys
You can dip guys named matthew in chocolate..
see lots of useful things I'm learning..I'm gonna be real smart before long ::)
-
OK guys, I will work on the crew list in one post here in a bit...but I'm only going to check this thread, if there were other threads naming jobs, you'll have to let me know and I'll edit my post.
BattyP...you don't know what a fembot is???? Have you never watched Austin Powers??? And I believe Larry is speaking of hitting drums with drumsticks, as Ginger Baker is Cream's drummer.
Larry, you're in, a hurricane....way to go. So far, we've considered U2, Keith Urban, and, I think, Andrea Bocelli. OH, and of course, Jimmy Buffet for all the parrotheads.
-
Gennysmom I've seen austin powers but dont' remember. I'll have to ask my 15 year old to explain it to me lol Must of been the wine I drank while watching the movie..yeah that's it. lol
Hurricanes stink!
-
Ow Wow, Laz... Cream!!!I went to one of their concerts when I was 16 and they were late getting started and I got in deep doo-doo with the parental units when I got home reeking of beer and assorted smokables!!
As for the music dept, tune into Radio Margaritaville on yer 'puter and get a taste of our musical theme. There is a band called "Club Trini"--some of the Coral Reefers and other friends who play progressive calypso and reggae--check em out!
I sailed on a 120 foot three masted schooner that had a cannon! Incredible boat named "Lindo" in the VI charterboat fleet. She might still be around, think I'll google her. She'd be perfect for our vessel!
Batty P, if you keep snarfing down the chocolate, we'll have to reinforce those chandeliers! :o
Gennysmom, good luck with the ships manifest!
Happy Sunday all you seafarin'swashbucklers and saucy wenches!
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!!
Captain Deb 8)
PS Have you seen my pic on my frapperof me in full piratess regalia? Gives new meaning to the term "Pirate Booty!!!!"
-
Oh Laz,
It just sunk in--symbols? Ya means Cymbals--likes ye PLAYS on!! Learn ta spell! Sounds like we need a tutor on board!
I am a huge fan of good old rock and roll, like the Allman Brothers--my brother was one of their roadies and I partied with them a few times! (hence knowing about the P. C.'s Gennysmom) I'm also a big Who fan, not to mention Led Z, Traffic and Stones.
Rock on wenches and swashbucklers!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Sorry Captain Deb,
Looks like schools in (re my spelling), I think we have a few teachers on board. Gee, i shudder to think what the punishment would be for misbehaving??????????? the mind boggles.
Sounds like your music tastes are right on - I'll sail in your ship any day.
Laz
-
Captain Deb,
Checked out your pirate getup - very cute! Love your paintings! You are an amazing artist!
Where might I find a pirate hat like yours? My son loves pirates and I've had a hard time finding one for him. :)
-
I actually made that hat out of an old straw hat and some fabric. I made one for my best buddy, Captain Marge out of red satin and her Jolly Roger (skull and crossbones) had eyelashes and big red lips. She used to wear it in the park on St John when she was hustling charters--it got her a lot of business!
Hat got gone in Hurricane Hugo--along with eveything else! Am working on anotherone for our cruise!
You comin'?
Captain Deb 8)
-
Captain Deb,
Would love to join you all - what is the destination again? I may have missed it while laughing at (reading) this post?
What positions do you have open?
What is the attire? Is it strictly wench wear?
And most importantly will Johnny Depp or aka Jack Sparrows be aboard?
-
Shoegirl, great to have another wacky wench join this cruise. Destination is unknown but I am glad there is a motor on board coz the insaneness of the crew would have hlf rowing in one direction and the other rowing the other way.
Actually, Capt' Deb, I'd love to have the job of the guy with the whip making sure all the wacky wenches row the boat in the same direction - oh, all jewellrey is banned but toys are allowed on the row boat. That could be punishment after walking the plank.
Laz
p.s - gone completely mad, lock me up!
-
Hey Laz why are you bannig jewlrey? what about nipple rings? No, Idon't have any just wondering lol
Jack Sparrow yeah he needs to come he can be the back up when matthew gets tired ;D
Laz us teachers that are coming aboard are NOT I repeat ARE NOT going to worry about any spellin' or cipehrin'. Have you ever heard teachers are a wild bunch? lol
-
Batty,
with you on board, there are no rules - wild as they come is the order of the day. I'm not sure about the "don't worry about spelling, I have been duly told off by our Captain (still waiting for the whipping) so we might need Capt Deb to clarify. Oh, no handuffs during the whipping please.
Laz
-
Why no handcuffs? shoot we've even got a few color choices ;)
We have no rules on our cruise!
We ain't gotta worry about no grammar, no spelling, no being politically correct, no nuffin'! 8)
-
Capt Deb,
Have you laid (I'm watching the spelling here) the course? I can't remember if this has been done yet. I know we have confirmed the ship as a boat of ill-repute with insane wacky wenches but whetre are we heading? or doesn't it matter - perhaps we just sail off into the wild blue (red curtains of course) yonder. You goota be careful of CYCLONE LARRY.
I'm having a rough time with my headaches today so am trying to overcome it with being as wacky as i can. i find it helps, although some of my work colleagues look a bit strangely at me when i just burst out into laughter. i just have to remember to have the escape plan ready for when those guys in the white jackets turn up.
I think I'l go out for a walk. Its now 4.40pm so back at 5, pack up and off home at 5.30. Until tonight you saucy bunch of wenches. Get those whips a crackin'.
Laz
-
OK, got busy getting stuff done today, so no manifest yet...will get at it after my Dr.'s appt tomorrow am. Wish me luck!!! I'm guessing if I do learn my fate tomorrow it will be Translab and they'll let me put it off until July...anyone want to wager?
Aha! Captain's been involved with the p.c.'s....so they weren't just a legend?!! wink-wink, nod-nod, know what I mean? Say no more!!!
Hope your head gets better Larry! I've been battling a dull headache myself today.
BattyP, no worries, the fembots are gorgeous scantily clad women with firearms built into thier nubblies.
Shoe, welcome aboard, we'll find an apt position for you....any special gifts or talents?
-
Oh Boy so I can have loaded nubbiles..that could be dangerous!
Gennysmom good luck today! Please post when you get back and let us know how you made out.
Laz if you'd get spinning around like a CYCLONE you're head would stop hurting!!
-
I had a horrible yesterday. My head wouldn't stop pounding no matter what I did! I think the air in my house is too dry or something. Hope it's feeling better today since the Billy Joel concert is tonight. Going to RiteAid for some earplugs after work.
-
Static,
Have a terrific time at Billy Joel! Should be a good show!
Geeze, 18 pages? Where the heck have I been? This thread has run amock! :o
-
Gennysmom,
Good Luck today! Let us know what happens!
I really have no "special talents", so I am open to suggestions!
I had a headache yesterday too - must be an AN thing? Slight one today - probably from lack of chocolate :(
So tell me about the boat - is it a luxury liner, a yacht, a row boat, or a pirate ship?
-
I notice you didn't claim to be singleÂÂ
Well, at the moment I am. My current situation changes by the day it seems, lol.
-
Oh so we have a cassanova on our hands eh? :o
-
Cassanova/Jamie - now this cruise is really getting interesting.... Better keep my cabin door locked ;)
Gennysmom - We're all with you today!
Static - Have a great time tonght!! I love concerts, my next one is Aerosmith. Recently saw Paul McCartney (so cute) and also Tom Petty. My all time favorite was The Who, back in 04. Never too old to rock!
-
Matti----I lovvvvve aerosmith. That reminds me of my hay days, back in the 70's. The stones have been around forever too. They are still neat but look like a bunch of grampas that did'nt grow up yet.
-
Cakes - I am re-living my hay days of the 70's. Great memories... ;D
-
Oh so we have a cassanova on our hands eh? :o
Our local weather guy is named Casanova Nurse (no, I'm not making that up). Should I invite him? I don't think he has an AN, but it wouldn't hurt to have a "nurse" on board. Or a weather guy.
-
Kilroy you know our first question is.....is he a hottie, married? you know the drill before we can say yes lol ;)
-
 Matti----I lovvvvve aerosmith. That reminds me of my hay days, back in the 70's. The stones have been around forever too. They are still neat but look like a bunch of grampas that did'nt grow up yet.

Destination is unknown but I am glad there is a motor on board coz the insaneness of the crew would have hlf rowing in one direction and the other rowing the other way.
Avast Ye Landlubber from Down Under!
We don't need no stinking engine!! Sails we gots and plenty o' em on this here three-masted schooner--120 feets she be, as well!!! We gots mains and mizzen and skys'ls and t'gallants and jibs and such! Plenty of PT for all the hearty souls who care to venture out on the rollin' blue! Can't do no vestibular rehab on no big CRUISE SHIP (Cattle Boat)
I figue we'd board in St. Thomas, home to the infamous Bluebeard and Sir Francis Drake, who's a mate o' mine. A cruise thu the Virgins as a starter, then on to the Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles to TRINIDAD FOR CARNIVAL!!!. The off to the Spanish Main and the Gulf O' Mexico and over to Panama and thru the Canal! The off acrost the South Pacific to the Isles of the South Seas--Tahiti-Fiji and Bora Bora and the Marquesas!
Then onto the land of Down Under to go to the OPERA and crash at Laz's. After that I don't know!
We gotta wait for a few of the wenches to get shipshape first of all!
Whadda ya think?
Capt. Deb 8)
-
Sounds like a great trip capt.
i think i understood what you wrote!!!!!!!!!!
We have great parties down under. Lots of prawns on the barbie. Good hearty "mad cow free" steaks and lots of brown ale.
Oh, special customs screenings for wicked wenches and their hot little toys would tyake place. I think more for the customs officers entertainment more than anything else.

"Wicked One-eared Wenches?"
Somebody lock me up.
Capt Deb

I'm baaaack! No surprizes here....I'm being sent to the surgical team and looks like it'll be translab, as expected. Thank you guys for all your support...my mom and my boyfriend went with me and I'm working on getting them up to speed since they'll be my post-op nurses!
The good news is that I can go to Europe!!!!!!!!!!! Belgian Chocolate here I come!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!
Deb, route sounds great, don't forget the Seychelles. Still working on the Manifest. Been a little busy today, if ya know what I mean!
I'm going to a concert tomorrow night!! Gonna go see Train for the third time...I like old time rock and roll, but new stuff too. These guys cover Aerosmith and Zepp live as well as do their own stuff, and you could close your eyes swear it was Steven Tyler or Robert Plant. That's why my AN grew so big....I, for too long, attributed it to to too many Ozzy and Priest concerts...and Scorpions, and Metallica, and....etc.
-
I once sat ON the speaker at an Allman Bros. concert--couldn't hear for a week!
Gennysmom, so glad you are able to take your trip--it will be a great "last hurrah" before you have the big "S." You shouldn't have (hopefully)the balance problems a lot of us have had as they say folks with slightly larger tumors have already compensated a bit more. You will have to heal up good as we need to be in Trinidad for carnival in Feb/March (same as Mardi Gras) It lasts 2 weeks!
Sending good vibes your way
Captain Deb

On ya gennysmom,
Now you know and you get your trip in, just stay aboard the good ship BP and stay tuned to the Wicked wack wench (or whatever its called show).
Laz

And a reminder of the previous episode:
Episode 2 of Wacky one-eared wenches
Capt'n Deb has her wacky wench crew scrubbing the deck dressed in their fluffy handcuffs, superwomen outfits, using a feather duster. The hunks are sitting back on their lounge chairs drinking dry martini's when all of a sudden screaming and cheering is heard on the other side of the ship.
What's that says one of the wacky wenches?
A loud boom is heard and then quiet, the smoke filled air is creepingly quiet and to the crew's horror, Capt'Deb, armed with her newly sharpened feather duster walks to the other side of the ship alone - slowly walking, step by step, inch by inch and then, as if startled, drops her jaw and the feather duster and..... stay tuned for episode 3 when all will be revealed:
What / Who is on the other side of the ship?
What was that loud noise?
I should have changed careers!
-
Episode 3 of Wacky one-eared wenches
Capt Deb starts to go red in the cheecks and yells out, to the other wenches, stay where you are. The shadow appearing on the deck is ......mathew! (whoever he is).
Capt Deb wants mathew, who's eating a chocolate bar, all to heself. No, what's this, Capt deb moves into the attack mode and wow, thats a twist of fate, he goes for the chocolate.
I've run out of puff now, my screen writing ability is over.

Only to be knocked over by an overzealouse Phyl trying to beat him to the tasty sees chocolate candy. Capt Deb stumbles from the assult. She is saved from the Gold Lame velcro belt which adorns her nauhty and saucy priates outfit. This is a relief to all as we would not want to lose our esteemed saucy one eared sea farin' Capt.
After the near miss with Capt Deb. the remaining saucy one eared wenches force matthew to aplogize and allow us to dip him in chocoloate or be forced to walk the plank. Of course Matthew being scared of the sharks below the the amazing Laz didnt' get secure readily agrees to the chocolate dipping :P :o :P :o :-* Unf. for the one eared wenches he will have to be shared which might require multiple dippings to satisfy everyone!
-
Batty,
You have found your true calling in life.
Laz
-
Hey Laz,
I heard you fell out of your chair laughing at work and bruised yer bum! Do I have a funny for you, right, Batty wench? I need yer personal email to send it to ya--catch my message box.
Have ya heard Cheeky Bloke is joinin' our crew? Don't know how Pearly Girly is gonna get her Chocolate-Matthew fix while he's around--maybe some o' the other wenches will have to distract him while she has her way with C-M. Or we could have our Master-at-Arms lock his cheeky a** up for an hour or so on some trumped-up charge like unauthorized grog-swilling or sumpin'!

Ged rid of those spy cameras Captain Deb - I must say thou, I have come close to it. In the height of this thread somewhere between post 4,876 and 43,291 by the wicked wenches, it was hard to stay on the chair. Mind you, me rear end is fine, I have learned how to fall when my superman cape is untangled from the chandellier.
woah, whats happenning, CM has been rescued from the clutches of the wacky wenches by, who's this, is it a bird, is it a train, no it's CHEEKY BLOKE.
Cheeky Bloke stares into Wacky Phyl's eye with great jealousy and plonks himself into the chocolate vat screaming out - well ????? - you'll have to wait for the next episode. Stay tuned - will Phyl turn away from cheeky bloke and go to CM, will Batty wench leave any chocolate for the dipping or will Captain Deb turn into a Parrot?
Stay tuned.

As CB grabs the choccies, a screeching sound from afar yells - too bad bucko, I got my local ice cream shop, I'm outa hear. With a splash and some wayward arm movements, Phyl is swimming ashore to get her ice cream fix (dipped in choccie no doubt). Oh no, Phyl stops suddenlyu in the water, beseiged by 34 mean and choccie hungry sharks, thjis silly parrot tries to attack them but to no avail, but alas, this motorboat with 3 chairs wobbling about, suddenly appears from nowhere. It's the wacky Batty one. come to rescue her cyber buddy Phyl and not too soon either. The sharks are within smelling distance when Batty yells out to Phyl, ah, before I drag you on ba=oard, whats the address of the ice cream shop? Phyl is stunned, silence, more silence, Phyl is reluctant to give up her private booty shop, the sharks approach, the lead shark, who's name is Greg, opens his mouth, showing those huge teeth and
Stay tuned for the next episode: Will Phyl save her own life by revealing the ice cream shop address, will Batty save Phyl anyway, will Greg have mercy on Phyl or will the parrot launch a full scale sortie on Greg.

You guessed it folks, It's super parrot. Awk, awk, ploop, ploop, ploop,ploop - SP flies low and hard over Greg and bombards him with choccie covered whoopsies. batty and Phyl looked shocked and horrified - "You've been eating our choccies again SP" they yelled in unison. greg and his family drift off smelling putrid.
A swift hand grab by Batty brings Phyl into the boat coz they now have to get back to the ship to check on their secret stash. Holy secret stash, whats this, Have Batty and Phyl been holding out on the other wacky wenches? When they head back to the ship, they spot a foreign looking 18th century hunk of timber - It's a Corvette Phyl tells Batty (batty looks at Phyl and goes "yeah right, as if". But it is claims Phyl and she was right, what is an 18th century ship with a cadbury milk chococlate flag doing here? They move a little closer and there seems to be a party on deck. Chocolate, feather dusters, all sorts of toys flying everywhere. They found our secret stash claims Phyl and my toys whispers Batty
But what is the Corvette doing here, stay tuned for the next episode when, we find out: who's lost the keys to the handcuffs, will Phyl get her ice cream, where's Capt Deb gone?

Apparently Super Parrot found the magic fairy wand in the toy chest and used it on herself---NO--NO--NO-- not for THAT!
To turn herself back into a seafarin' sailin sea wench with a bustier and an ear patch and a *****in' pirate hat! Jeez!
-
OMG Larry I can't quit laughing! OH NO not my toys! LOL :o
-
OH BOY--bein' a parrot was a blast--all that flyin' and swoopin' and shark-chasin' and chockie-covered whoopsies! Be careful what you wish for! Still pullin' feathers outta my **s!
Wheew! What's next Master Laz?

Purser can also be called "keeper of the fun tickets." We also need a Navigator--anyone want to sign up?
Capt Deb 8)
-
What about Shoegirl?
Can she be our fashion co-ordinator? Or our What-Not-To-Wear-er? Gotta have someone to organize the wench-wear!
Capt Deb 8)

*snort* Looks like everyone has a job. Does anyone have one in real life? ;D
-
Heck, no! We're all independently wealthy, right wenches? (Here comes the maid with the Chockies, 'scuse me a moment....mmmmm...mmmmm...mmmm) We got fun tickets ta burn ('scuse me again here comes the butler with the mail) We got diamons dripping offa us everywhere (OOPS! Here comes the masseuse to give me a foot rub) OOOOOO---oooooo--ooooooooo---ooo--THANK you Sven (he's Swedish) As I was saying (re-arranges the mink bathrobe)..........OOOPS! Gotta go---the crew is here to style the hair, do the make up and dress me for the big Gala tonite!!!!!

The good ship BP is sailing into the eight seas when lo and behold nothing happens.
Days go by and still nothing but wait, Land ahoy cries Laz who is really multi talented and can spot land from 5 metres. and guess what happens, the ship hits land and comes to a halt. Gee that sounds like a party up the beach yells cruise director Phyl. She goes to investigate and the hours go by and she hasn't returned. Capt'n Deb organises a search party but the only two wenches that can stand up straight are Gennysmom and Matti, everyone else has been issued happy pills by Jamie who got a little mixed up betwen 5 pills per day versus 5 pills 5 times a day. All the other wacky wenches are really wacked out.
They hobble off after Phyl and see her in a big pot of boiling water. Oh no says Matti, these cannibals aren't using the right spices. Matti approaches this which doctor (no names mentioned coz could be one of many) and tries to tell him, you must use garlick salt. Phyl is now starting to feel "HOT" (temperature hot that is). All of a sudden, Matti is thrown in. Gennysmom then retreats and goes back to capt Deb and tells her everything.
Not looking good squarks Capt Deb, its time for plan B.
What is plan B, will this be the end for Phyl and Matti, will CB come to the rescue, or will Oprah set up a show on the cannibal island and give away tv's
Stay tuned
-
I just grabbed from what we had talked about on this thread, I will edit as we go and remember the list is on page 21.
Careful what you snort Kilroy, out on the ocean it could be a bug! I do have a real job!!! I help prosecute criminals!!! So y'all best beware! It's your job to bartend, so fix me a drink and I'll have a double!! Yarrrr!!!!
-
Gennysmom is quietly putting together a subpeona but she's not sure if the natives understand parrot. meanwhile, The Cakes has devised a cunning formulae for Static and Kilroy to shake rattle and roll, whoops, thats shake only, and serve the natives a spiked drink.
What isn't apparant yet, is who are these natives? are they really cannibals or are they, yes, thats it, they are really willy wonker and his workers. meanwhile, where have Phyl and Matti gone to - all thats left in the vat is a brown liquid. Could it be, no, yes, no, yes, its true, Phyl and Matti are choccie girls who have now melted into liquid chocolate.
What will happen next, will Phyl and Matti be eaten, will Gennysmom find a judge, will the parrot "soil" the chocolate liquid (yuk), will the ice age suddenly appear and turn the liquid into solid, or will one of the other wacky wenches throw some hazelnuts into the liquid chocolate before eating it
Stay tuned
-
Kilroy I think we all have sorta jobs right now lol ;D
-
With respect to Phyl's friend and Phyl's feelings, the saga of the Good ship BP will be deferred for a few days.
Laz
-
Laz, good call....came here and just couldn't think of anything to say.
-
Laz,
I've got Phyll on the phone with me right now and she's doing OK. We've discuss the loss of her friend and her lack of "fun" since her CB is across the pond.  She insists the Saga continue and wants you all to know "Capts Debs voice has turned her on"  and thank you for being considerate and thinking of her!@
Capt Deb
-
Good to hear Captain!!! It's still hard tho, thinking of the senseless tragedies that have been close to me. It is a real refocusing event. Wish the Cheeky Bloke was there for her!!! I have my own presence of my boyfriend issues and know how hard it is when they can't be there in person when you need them. Long story for another time.
More hugs to Phyl!!!
-
okey dokey cokeys.
Good to hear that Phyl is needing some fun - it is, the best remedy. But hey, Phyl, can you now understand parrot? I will put my thinking cap on over the next day to come up with a better story line. It's the weekend coming up for us down under - yipppppeeeeee.
Oooooh, someone just gave me a Tim Tam - do you guys get those bickies? They are the best. Yummmmmmmm.
Ooops, choccie on my shirt, oh no, its like lipstick - a dead give away.
Monday's weigh in is not looking good - I am forecasting being sick then!
Hey, a joke, not a very good one but... What's the difference between a duck?
Now, before you wackos ask, "and what". I repeat, what's the difference between a duck.
Now, I don't want any smart remarks, and Batty,, a clue, no toys come into it.
ok, I'll tell you - "one leg's both the same. - get it???? I've been telling this joke for 20 years and still don't understand it. Gee, roll on the weekend. Hey guys, enjoy your forthcoming Friday -LOVL whilst I sleep in and have bacon and eggs for brekky.
Watch this thread for the next episode of the good ship BP

-
Dang and I even wrote it down...next time I'll actually read my note lol Memory just ain't so good now. OOPS :-[
-
heck, we've got dr's notes for (insert temp ailment such as memory loss, balance, hang nail, overdrawn checking acct, etc. here)
-
Capt Deb Larry the cable guy said not to have sex with a parrot as he'll tell the neighbors...hmmm....
-
To the rescue from the crowd comes Pink Patti, dressed in this rather hot number in pink of course, swoops down towards Phyl and matti and with magical Cyberknife treatment, restores Phyl and matti to their wicked normal selves. Ah, that felt really good said Phyl, I could do with a few more treatments of that stuff (pretty corny but heh, not getting well paid for this job).
Everyone hightails back to the good ship BP, with screams and squarks and ooohhhhs, and aaaahhhhs (whoops, thats next episode).
Once back safely on the ship, Boppie decides to teach everyone ballet. Now there's a twist but the wacky wenches think, mmm some good moves here for.......
Stay tuned for the next episode when, will the coast guard complain over the loud funny noises com,ing from the good ship BP, will the parrot learn to flush the toilet instead of dirtying the deck, will we discover what Phyl is clutching (had to be careful with the spelling there) in her hands. Stay tuned you wild things - hey, that might be a good title for a song???
Laz, alias, leisure suit Larry the lounge lizard (but thats another story / thread)
-
Larry....You are the highlight of my day! I can't remember when I have laughed this much! ;D
Thanks,
wench matti
-
Leisure Suit Larry? My first video game!!!!
Hey Laz--
Are you having chocky and bikky for brekky and then playing footy
in your jammies?
Capt Deb 8)
-
There will be no weight in for the cakes this Monday. I'm not playing this week. I made a cake.
-
Wrong thread cakie dear! This be the eat chocolate till ya puke thread--the other'n's the diet thread ya cheeky wench! What kinda cake? Willya make us one on board? Us pirates lurves cake!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
Capt Deb
-
Capt Deb can you belive Cakes made a cake and didn't offer to share any with us? HOW RUDE LOL ;D
-
oooooooohs and aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhs everywhere. and they are coming from below deck, could it be... surely not... yes it is, Patti the pink cake has made a pink chocolate cake and everyone is gorging themselves on it. Oh no and tomorrows weigh in day. Capt Deb, squelches up from the floor mumbling something in squarkee that it's time for a fivesome, pointing to those wacky sea farin wenches, Matti, Phyl, gennysmom (genny doesn't approve by the way mom) and the Batty one. A fivesome emails CB from distant shores? Phyl, turns a bright red, the same colour as Cpt Deb's and Doctor Loves curtains.
Yeah a fivesome Capt Deb proclaims. The rest of the good ship BP crew are astonished, shocked and horrified - how could you Capt Deb yell Static and Kilroy, still shaking their martini's from 4 days ago, Mark is shellshocked as the printer didn't print the tickets in time and and he won't be able to make any admittance money to help the ships coffers. Karla and Jamie just star in amazement popping those steroids and Laz, well the bad boy has stolen the toys. Matti discovers what has taken place so begins the chase. On deck, they both stop. Laz has only two ways out, the first is by walking the plank into a sea full of hungry sharks or face a baseball bat toting Batti,
Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out what Laz will do, will the martini's ever be poured, what does Capt Deb mean by a fivesome - it aint what ya think.
Laz
-
Capt Deb,
I had bacon and eggs for breky - in my Jammies? what are they??? I don't use em - gee, thats a scary thought.
The foooty season (aussie rules) starts next weekend so its an exciting time down under. My team is playing on Saturday night - Essendon, nick named "The Bombers" play the reigning premiers on Saturday night. It's remote control and tinnie time - wooohooo.
laz
-
cookin bacon for breky without jammies on? I hope you were microwaving it, otherwise that could hurt! OW!
Great stories Laz, keep it up.
Getting my european showerhead installed today....so that I can sit and shower post-op. See, I am learning new things from you wenches!!!! I am paying attention in class!!! And Batty, I've heard they're better than having a B.o.b. Will let you know. ;)
I was talking to my Boyfriend (Brian) yesterday, about how when I'm recovering he'll be responsible for taking me out on walks. He thought he should just tether me in the yard and let me walk circles. I'm having this absolutely hysterical visual of having to do that with our boat (we don't have a navigator yet) and spinning dizzy folk in circles and it just isn't pretty. We need a navigator!
Phyl, he's not sure he remembers the $3 cafe, but says he'll meet you at "the big chicken", whatever that is.
-
Hey Mom!
Don't forget the baby shampoo! It was a life saver for me cuz you can warsh yer hair with yer eyes open, hence the shower don't spin as bad, even sitting down. And it sonds like you'll be spending QUITE a bit of time in there. ;) Hope you gotts really big hot water heater--hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-he (That's the Batty gigle--have you ever heard anything so cute?)
Captain Deb 8)
-
I'm so sorry. By the time I thought of you guys the cake was all gone but I wanted to tell you that it was very good. It was a snickers cake so it did'nt last to long at our house. If I'd give you some, all that wench wear won't fit so well . I did'nt want that to happen.
B
-
A bright sunny morning greeted the crew and the 5 wacky wenches slowly and gingerly stagger up to the deck after an all-nighter in Captain Deb's quarters. The wenches were greeted with stares of disbelief by the rest of the crew when.. now, before anyone gets any ideas, they were playing ah, um, mm, monopoly, finishing off pink Patti's cake (crumbs only left)
Now, back to the story line, Capt Deb had noticed that there was no flog flying on the ship, now, Capt Deb proclaimed, as we are an AN'er ship, beholden to no country, we will flag the Wacky wench traditional flag. It has one colour - Red, and is in the shape of the letter G - now wonder what that signifies?????
Stay tuned for the next episode when, will the parrot take pot shots at the flag, will Pink Patti make another cake in her Prom dress or will absolutely nothing happen - heavan forbid.
got to do some work now or won't get paid.
Laz
Laz
-
Wheeeew! This wench be plum wore out after THAT 'un! Too much pink chocolate cake. Bustin' clean outta me wenchwear! EEGAD!
Hoist the "G" flag and set the deck apes to the main halyard--time to shove off for the next island--this time one with no cannibals!
AAAAAARRRRRR!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Snickers cake?? Not just cake, but snickers cake?? Oh, boy, you're in big trouble now. I'm getting in my car and I'm on my way. I will find you Patti! ;)
I'm almost all set Deb...I remembered your shampoo idea, and I'm working on having one of those no tank water heaters installed. My mom just got one and she likes it. Then I'd never run out!!! he he that could be good or bad!!!
-
NEWS FLASH:
A woman was found in her shower today mumbling unintelligible gibberish. Apparently she had been in her shower for a week before she was discovered by 4 friends who reported her missing. She was quite waterlogged and wrinkled, but is in stable condition and calling for someone named "Bob."
-
Wet wenches,
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ah, ha, stay tuned - stuff my work, this is much better.
-
Laz--You are gonna get your sorry a** fired! Then we'd have to be your new full-time "jobby." You could teach us all to speak Oztralian!
Capt Deb
-
As the good ship BP sails on through the open seas, Pink Patti who is really thirsty after her fourth snickers cake, turns the tap on but there is no water left. That wild wench, Gennysmom, has had the fresh water diverted to her private shower and has run the supplies down. Apparantly, she has had an instant gas water heating device delivered by carrier parrot (named Bob) in the middle of the night. To avoid a squark fight, Gennysmom hired Batty and her handcuffs and tied up Capt Deb to the bird cage.
Pink Patti is now very angry at Gennysmom and has ordered her to walk the plank. Gennysmom in all her glory, has been removed from the shower cubicle and brought up to the deck where, wait, unbelievable but true, who should be practicing ballet on the plank but Boppies key student, Gilligan - the skipper too, the professor, mary ann........ (forgotton the rest). The good ship BP has found Gilligans Island.
Stay tuned for the next adventure when, Will Gilligan be the next celeb on dancing with the stars, will Capt Deb trade "secrets and dirty emails" with the Skipper, how much will Thurston Howell 3rd pay for Batty's toys and will we see Phyl eye up the professor? watch out CB.
Laz
-
Laz if you're a good boy I might let you come use my new shower in September when you come up here!  Oh, wait, darn, I think those things only work on girls.  Too bad.  You can still bring me some chokie though. ÂÂ
-
Mom,
I have been known to "cross dress" in my younger days - now thats a whole new storyline best saved for the shower!
Laz
p.s I have purchased my gold ticket to the Star trek expo so have to come to Seattle now. Just got to work out my itinery (how to avoid the wacky wenches is first on the list), and that flamin parrot who poops everywhere - needs a parrot nappy.
I should bring a few Oz things for the Seattlites - ah, sorry beach boys are too heavy for the luggage. maybe a footy. Train you wacky wenches on how to play a proper game - of footy that is!
-
Laz
Is a "parrott nappy" kinda like a "cat nappy?" if so I had a 2 hour one today!
Live Long and Prosper!
Capt Deb of the pirate ship Enterprise
-
Laz my cuffs can't be used for CD they are already in use by Matthew...better borrow phyls. Besides I hear purple is CD's color not red fur lol
-
Now thats a whole new story line - Spok meets the Parrot.
Gee, I better get back to this boring presentation on budget modelling. I'm trying to remove this chair that keeps appearing on the slide!
-
SLIDE?? You have a slide at work? How cool is that ;D
-
Batty,
We're gunna have to call for those men in white for you as well. You can be in a tandem jacket with the squarker.
Laz
-
Just wot me and the Mighty Batty One needs!---a straight-jacket for two!! ;D
AAAAAWWWWK!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Cross dress? You have the pictures to prove it???
My parrots do need nappys. They actually have a cleaner for people with birds, and really, truthfully, it's called "poop off".
I'll need lot's of Aussie treats in September!!! It's my birthday month! Hopefully I'll be up and somewhat functioning at that point. We'll make sure to fill your pockets with some good Pacific Northwest treats. How long are you going to be here?
-
All pictures are kept in the vault - rather incriminating - I wasn't wearing an over shoulder boulder holder so was bouncing around a bit!
Not sure how long I will be in sunny Seattle - at least 3 days, possibly 4 but then again, I might be beamed up by Scotty where i would create a tetrionic particle break in the time space continuim. And we wouldn't want that would we????. THEY ARE HERE, save me, no, not the jacket, heeeeeelpppppp.
Will Laz ever be seen again, have the Klingons got him, will he turn into a parrot eating eagle? The last known words EVER HEARD FROM LAZ were, "chooccciiiieeeee"
-
I wasn't gone for long guys, anyway, back to the good ship BP, after leaving Gilligans island, suddenly the ship is removed from the waterways and is beamed aboard a Klingon warship. (I did know how to speak Klingon once upon a time but hey, if you don't use it, ya lose it!. Anyway, the Klingon Captain, Captain Love (strange name for a Klingon) invited the wacky wench crew to dinner. The wenches were most impressed and when Pearly girly asked if the food was fresh, using her universal translater, the response was - absolutely. Phyl was rather pleased now and was almost as happy as Larry.
The wenches sat down and the food was fresh alright - Gluch was the entre' - sorta like live worms. Capt Deb, used to the culinary delights of the unbelievable, scoffed 'em down. The other wacky wenches turned away. This insulted the Klingons who got their phasers out but wait, Capt Deb to the rescue, she got her portable Cyber Knives out, threw the wenches one each who immediately fired upon the worms. The next is remarkable coz the worms turned into chocolate Mathews. The Klingons, were so terrified of this happening to them that they beamed the good ship BP back to the sea with 500 choccie Mathews.
The wenches then began to: stay tuned for: will the wenches miss Monday's weigh in after gorging on choccie Mathews, is Capt Deb really a CIA agent or, or, or (losing the plot here) or, will George Bush say something clever.
-
George will never say anything clever! Capt Deb is more likely a CIA agent. Now let's get back to the slide and chocolate matthews before the men in white coats come to take me away! ;D
-
hmmmmmmmm... food always has to be fresh and yep, Capt'n Deb does have "ties" with certain agencies.... CIA? Possibly.... ;)
-
Avast ye salty seafarin mates!
NO, I am not CIA, but they probably have a file on me from my activities back in the late sixties. I be a baaaad lil' wench back then--a real instigator--good for y'all I've really changed sooooo much since then!
HEY! I'm now a senior member! (No not a senior citizen, a senior member) That means the entire universe needs to submit to me and obey my every command!
All you can eat chocolate Matthews! I'm in wench-heaven! Thank the goddess for Klingons!(I always thought they were WAY sexy!)
Guess we'll have to keep the parrot on the "poop deck!" ROFLAM!
Happy Monday to all you cheeky wenches and seafarin' swashbucklers!
Has anyone seen "Dodgeball" with Vince Vaughn? I have the same disease as one of the teammates--you'll figger it out if ya seen the movie!
AAAAARRRRR!

um, folks.. this is up to 25 pages... w00t! ;)

Wenches--we have set a record-I think!--Pearly Girly guided me thru postin' my mug on the forum. Ain't I a sight! Pic is pre-op ( a few years pre-op!) Will ost a new pic as soon as cakie-dear sends me my new wench-wear from Toledo--wench-wear capital o' the world.
Anyhoo---have a good'n!

One bright sunny morning, the crew of the good ship BP gingerly arose from below deck after a very full night on the rum. Jamie had provided the 12 kegs and there is now nothing left. The Captains still a'squarkin, Phyl and Batti are handcuffed to each other (thats another story in the R rate section), Gennysmom and matti had come equal first in the wet T shirt competition, judged by karla and Kilroy, Boppie was still trying to teach ballet to a rogue Klingon and mark was trying to find some money for the weekly chocolate purchase.
Land ahoy, yells Laz, the only sober and mild person on the ship!!! (writers perogitive).
The ship is now docked at Amsterdam, heart of the red light district, weed and heinekin. - whoops, got some work to do so stay tuned for the next episode when we find out, Will Capt Deb stop squarking, will Batti and Phyl keep the handcuffs on and go as a duo or will the crew be arrested on suspicion of harbouring illegal toys.
-
Laz, Laz, Laz... FYI.. Mark was to be walking the plank decked in chocolate for discussions with Capt'n Deb about treatment options... now, we can't have our dear Mark left out now, can we???
(have a fab day at work.. my work day is now ending! w00t!) :D
-
What treatments be they wacky wench extraordinairre (geez thats an attempt at a big word). Mark, treatment, handcuffs - all in downtown Amsterdam! mmmmm, the diet thread talking about 3-4 times per day, I am getting rather corrupt here.
Actually, I must say, back in my younger days, a long, long, long time ago, Adam was talking to Eve about an apple, whoops, thats confidential (CIA stuff), anyway, I did travel through Amsterdam, met a nice young Canadian girl, thats another story, I was walking down that red light district amazed at the window shooping available when I saw this camera flyiong through the air into the canal. Some big hefty security guy wasn't that keen on a tourist taking snapshots of the "delights" in the window.
That was a great trip, spent very little on booze coz I went to the heinekin factory tour every morning. After 40 minutes of a boring tour, you had a couple of hours to sample the brew. needless to say that I had enough to stay inebriated for most of the evenings as well.
Back to work, got a mtg on in a mini (thats minute, not mini and no slide in there either wacky batty), for an hour or two so will post the next episode later this arvo or when you wacky wenches are tucked up in bed ... ah, not going there.
Laz
-
AAAAARRRR!
No rum for me, mon--remember, I'm the designated boat driver! Besides, I have a few other vices just to even things up with the other wenches!
Capt Deb
-
Laz, make sure to keep me well informed about Amsterdam. I shall be there on or around June 16th as a part of my cruise and want to make sure not to miss a thing. I will be shopping in Belgium for just the right chocolate to be dipping our hunks in, and will be sampling the lot for flavor.
Be careful wenches, we have to be nice to Mark. He has all the fun tickets. Quick, I'll hold him down and the rest of you wenches steal the tickets. Just make sure to save me some.
OK, now, don't get too excited...but I'm currently making arrangements to sail Willy Wonka's chocolate river. It's all clean after the Augustus incident, and ready for our use.
Shhhh...don't tell my boyfriend about the contest!!! He doesn't know!
-
Gennysmom,
Looks like we have a wild closet wench on our hands. Amsterdam - mmm, not sure if you would go to the same places that I did??? unless you ar, no not going there. You aren't tied up with Batty and the Girly are you?
Lunch time now so got to get that ham and mustard on rye down the gullet or I'll fade away to nothing. mmm, a closet wild wench, mmm, going to Amsterdam, mmm don't tell the boyfriend mmm, it's all adding up now Mum, you devil. Stay tuned..
Laz
-
Larry, It's been years since I have come any where near first in a wet t-shirt contest. (Gravity issues >:()ÂÂ
I feel so honored. What do Gennysmom and I win? And don't say Illegal toys...I'm a good Italian catholic girl.
-
Matti and Gennysmom, The prize for winning our wet T shirt competition is, now hang on darn it. Matti, you say that you are a good Italian catholic girl and in the same breath, you say its been years since you won a wet T shirt comp. tell us more - another wild wacky closet wench. Dear me, this crew is outa control, I say outa control Capatain Deb, ah Captain, ah Capiiitttaaannnn, where the squark are ya?
Next time you are up, you need to discipline these wacky wenches.
the next day,
And so as the good ship BP sails on, Captain Deb arrives on deck, followed by Dr Lerrrrvvv (who is walking funny) and in a very forceful, bird like manner, brings the crew to assembly.
Right, you wacky wenches and swashbucklers, it's time for a floggin coz of all the unrest and rumours. Gravity aside, its the wenches first. As Capt Deb slowly raises her feather duster and aims at Phyl's um, um, how do I put this, part of the anatomy that is below the back but above the legs - sorta joins em together and does a few other things, she takes careful aim, teasing a few times when in a surprise move, a one eyed eagle with a patch swoops down and bird naps the Captain.
Phyl yells out No, No, come back, I want my flogging!!
Mark is now visibly upset coz he was hoping to be dipped into the choccie vat and, well, let the wenches do their thing but alas, the tale twists again coz .. well, stay tuned for the next episode when we find out what's happenned to Captain Deb? will Phyl get her spanking, whoopsie, I mean flogging, will Mark get to be dipped in choccie and where are batty and CB??? ooooooooo - rumour, rumour
-
larry - OK! OK! for a time I was a "bad" Italian Catholic girl. Now I'm really going to have to go to confession...
-
Matti
Did I tell you that I am a part time confession taker. Go on, spill the beans in your next post. I won't tell anyone! You'll feel better!
Laz

I had to stop and read the posts before I leave.. This is my say whatever thread. I love to read all the posts and put in whatever I want. Today I go to preschool at the hospital, and play with the kiddies. Have a good one.
-
Thank you cakes-dear--we will have a good one and back atcha!
I hope all you crew remember that this trip is PHYSICAL THERAPY and therefore is tax-deductible.
It is also MENTAL THERAPY, to particularly for Master Laz, who is honing his humor writing skills, bein' the ships chronologer and keepin' the log an' all. He needs to hone his writin' skills as he will soon be out of a job for foolin' around on the 'puter all day instead of doin' his time management reports or whater kind of corporate horse-pookie he really does.
I just tried to recruit sodagal for our motley wench crew as she's already a'sportin' an eyepatch!
OOOPS! Gotta run--I hear Dr. LUUUUURV a'callin' fer me!
AAAAAAWWWWWK!!!
Capt Deb
-
When I was younger, a guy wrote in my annual that I was the coolest heavy metal chick even if I did dress like the president's daughter (they used to call me Amy Carter). So I guess I've always been good at being wild and wacky and having everyone think I was an angel! ;)
So, that being said, what do I win? Chocolate?? Time with Sawyer dipped in chocolate??
Sorry Matti, I am not a good Catholic girl. Not Catholic at all.
Welcome aboard sodagal, we need a navigator! I say we anchor the ship for a day of snorkeling/diving and relaxing and sippin the rum runner through the straw. A trough of rum runner for everyone!!!!
-
HEY! I don't take any spankings! I give 'em! :D
-
Yeah-- How the bleep did we end up in Amsterdam? Amsterdam ain't tropical!!! Matthew and Keith and Sawyer are gonna freeze ta death in their thongs! We really do need a navigator and I second the nomination of sodagal. Gots ta stay in th' tropics where it's warm--besides--what is Jimmy Buffett gonna do in flippin' Amsterdam? Oh Yeah, I got it now--PROVISIONS!
Get on board, sodagal, and set a cousre SOUTH!

Yes, definitely an organic provisions stop. But we're already out of there, and heading for the Canary Islands. From there, back to the West Indies, just in time for Carnivale. Beware of the Mumbo-Jumbos! Actually, when I was at Carnivale on St. Thomas one year, you had to watch out for the goats in bathing suits. What's up with that????
-
St Thomas works... best "alcoholic" milkshakes at "Utter Delight" (an actual cow farm), strawberry daiquri's while laying on the beach at Megan's Bay, driving up to Drake's Seat for a GORGEOUS view of Megan's.... and trying to figure out why there is only one town on the whole island (Charlotte Amalie), yet, Frenchtown exists as well.. go figure, eh?
Count me in! :)
-
As the good ship BP sails towards the West Indies after being deported from Amsterdam for having too many wild wacky wet t-shirt competitions, (I get the hint) Capt Deb decides that Pearly girly has been insubordinate and is up for punishment by the crew. Capt Deb announces that the most creative punishment for Phyl will win a freddo frog, according to the Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy, a freddo frog is a rather slippery little creature who has been heat treated with delicious milk chocolate and is very happy to be eaten.
Ok crew members, you must think of a punishment for innocent Phyl. Let your imaginations run wild. There is one twist, you must include the feather duster!
Laz
-
So Capt Deb has decided that Pearly Girly has been insubordinant? Quick someone get the magic fairy wand and the feather duster! Lets see, what is the absolute WORSE thing we can inflict upon a disobedient sea wench? Cut the grog rations? Restrict her shore leave? Strand her cabin boy (CB stands for Cheeky Bloke AND Cabin Boy) on a desert island. Tie her to the mast, no she'd probably enjoy that one. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I know--we'll turn her into a..a.....a......a.......a.......worm? No, no, no, no.
A..a..a..a..a..a..dog? No, no, no, no, no. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....what is the WORSE possible punishment? I KNOW!!!!!
We'll turn her into a...................................

MAN! :o
Capt Deb 8)
Meanest Captain to sail the seven seas!
-
Oh, that's mean!!!! I was thinking you were just going to shackle her just out of reach of the chocolate covered Matthew as we all devour him.
-
Okay OKAY!
No turning Phyll into a MAN, that's inhumane but someone has to win the Freddo Frog! Be Creative!!!
Cap'n Deb
-
Capt Deb,
You are mean as.
Watch out or I will fill the ship up with parrot eating pussies (ah thats felines, ya know, ah, cats) ah, outa here before I get had up.
-
the good ship BP sails freely to the Belgium shores to pick up some supplies of . yep, you guessed it, chocciiiiiiieeeeeeessssss. However, we have one very disppointed wench who is tied to the main sail with Batti wench's furry handcuffs and unable to enjoy the delights of the choccie gorge, yep, its Pearly Girly. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Phyl is still awaiting her punishment but it sems as though the penalty is happening now. Wait a minute, Phyl has an aly, who is unlocking the handcuffs with a whip. It's the European number, Matti who is still wearing her wet T shirt, to the rescue.
Ever so grateful, Phyl promises to have a twosome later (thats phone call by the way) with "the wet one". Swift as a meer cat, Phyl swoops upon the Vat of Uk cadbury choccie (bought in Belgium), slams her hook (where'd that come from girly?) and grabs the vat, hoists it and herself into a row boat which has another wench in it. Who is this wayward, wacky wench for who must be under the infamous pearly girly spell?
Oh no, another twist, after indicating right and turning left, the mysterious wench in the row boat turns into a bay that is coloured brown. It is, it ios, it's the lost choccie bay. Hundreds of square miles of chocolate ocean. Captain Deb is now up and about to see the comotion and instantly dives into the sea. No holding the breath here she says.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out who has the girly cast her spell on - hint, is wearing a wet T shirt, will Captain Deb sreturn to her quarters (practising her diet technique), will the wenches all sink after hours of gulping down chocolate?
Hang in there gang for a very serious twist to the story. No hints will be given unless a bribe is paid.
-
ROFL! Well, Laz, if that didn't make my day, neither will the UK Cadbury bought in Belgium nor the CB and I.. um.... OMG, you have too much time on your hands when you should be working! :)
xoxoxoxo

MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-mmm-mmm-mmmmm
MM-mmm-mmm! MMMMMMM! Mmmm-mmmm-mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! ::) ::) ::) ::)
Belgian Chocolate Ocean! Everybody over the side! Skinny-dippin' time!!!
Captain Deb 8)
PS I gues Pearly Girly has been pardoned?
-
YAY ME! I'm pardoned...
.. is that as in... "Pardon moi, do you have any Grey Poupon???"
(gotta practice my French accent, ya know?) :D
-
Actually non, I wiped all the Grey Poop off!
-
No pardon for the girly - your fate still is in the hands of a feather duster, whip, rack - rack - owie, black outfit, mask - what else do you have Batty wench?
I enjoy this much more than ork. Actually got a pretty serious steering committee mtg on this project. I'm re-engineering the finance operation of a telco (telecommunications company) and i am presenting my slide show.
First slide - the wet t shirt competition,
second slide - the wet t shirt competition,
third slide - the wet t shirt competition
fourth slide - the wet t shirt competition
fifth slide - the wet t shirt competition
sixth slide - a promise of the skinny dipping
i reckon I'll get a promotion after that coz the committee are full of dirty old men.

I feel so out of the loop lately! I lost my place when I lost my identity..tell them I want it back. I'll be good I promise! I can't keep up now :o(
My brother came in 11th a the poker tourney out of about 170 if I remember correctly. He got to see the play boy bunnies and pose with them...hmmm...wonder if he'll tell his wife? lol :o
-
Right on, a Cadbury chocolate ocean. Good plan Laz. I think now on to the fair shores of the island of Pound Cake, as we need something to dip in that chocolate besides ourselves. Boy, after that, there will need to be much romping, as if we keep all the chocolate weight in, the ballusts will surely fail and the moment one too many of us moves from the balance point, it'll be a roller. Quick, I think we need more men.
And the wenches, in their lust for chocolate, wear out every single man in sight. Batty runs to hide her treasured Bob.
Captain Deb hoist the sails, we're setting off for Greece....the women need some more hunka hunka greek gods (and not Paris's castoffs, real men)
Laz, meanwhile, hones his artistic craftmanship, painting the Mona Lisa in dark, milk, and white chocolate on his beloved Jennifer....HEY, we banned her, Laz what are you doing??
-
larry - Did Gennysmom and I give you permission to show the wet t-shirt contest to dirty old men? By the way, still waiting to see what I won! And stop sneaking Jennifer on the cruise.
BattyP ooops..I mean BP Wench has been patiently waiting for some hot Greek Gods. Congrats to your brother, that is awesome. Must have been hard to concentrate on the cards, with all those bunnies. Hey how come they don't have a playgirl mansion?
I am going to send you some new gold stars BP! Identity theft sucks! >:(
-
Just got back and the dirty old men were impressed.
Matti - your win was mmmm maybe mmmmm not sure, we'll think of something - maybe a T shirt. Gots to go now coz I am the treasurer of a charity and got an big meeting on tonight. So stay tuned for the next episode when we discover
has the girly dityched CB for a GG (Greek God), Will Doctor Luuuuurrrrrrrrrrrv ever be able to walk a straight line again, how many T shirts are gennysmom and matti going to buy and is BP wench an imposter - oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh HEADLINES - Aliens invade Earth - replacing wenches with choccie eating imposters.
stay tuned.

SOS.......SOS......SOS.....OSO.......SOS......SOS.......SOS.......SOS.....SOS
Oh! Sodagal.....sodagal!!!!!

Captain Deb 8)
-
An' bye the bye, who be this BP Wench chick? Does she work at the gas station? And who has wench-napped our beloved Battyprincess? :'( :'( :'( Our ship's namesake seems to be AWOL. She couldn't have possibly left the ship voluntarily. She wouldn't have abandonned us wenches like that! She LLUUUUUURRRRRRVVVVes us toooooo much!
Oh, Battyprincess, Battyprincess! Where ye be!!!!!
Captain Deb 8)
-
psssssst, Capt'n Deb.... she's cleaning my house... shhhhhhhhhhhh

The ship's crew is now tottaly demoralised. The great ocean of chocolate has been decimated. 3billion tonnes of chocolate has suddenly disappeared - where has it got to. Rumours abound but CNN did report that there have been sightings of some very large butts wearing pirate hats in the area. is it true, have the wacky wenches eaten all the chocolate?
Captain Deb yells out to navigator Gennysmom, take that T shirt off and set sail for THE GREEK ISLANDS. A loud ROOOOAAAARRRR from the crew as the ship erupts, like Mot Kilamanjaro - chocolate being sprayed everywhere. I want Zeus proclaims the girly, I want Thor proclaims Batty (alias BP wench)) I could use his hammer mmmm, I want venus yells Mark. Matti yells out I don't care as long as he's bad, bad, bad. and likes T shirts.
The sails be set, the crew be waddling on deck, the wind's a blowin and the good ship BP is sailing its way to the Greek Islands. And now for something completely different - Oh no, the ship is making some very loud creaking noises asw it sails along (too many baked beans me thinks, Capt Deb yells out to the crew wench overboard. The motley crew being ten tonne tessies after their chocolate ocean feast, waddle to the side and toss a set of handcuffs to the wench. Batti says, she may as well have a good time for the few minutes left! That's not right yells Phyl, who immediately chucks her feather duster over board. Jamie then barges his way through the wenches and picks up the row boat with his bear hands and throws it in to save the wench crew member - who may this be - Its Sodagal.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out: will the wacky wenches ban chocolate until they get to the Greek Islands?, will Sodagal appear on deck?, will Captain Deb say hang it, I'm going to waddle back to my cabin, or will the Monday weigh in be banned.

I"MMMMMMMMMMMMMM BBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

So glad to have you and all your lil/ yeller stars back aboard the Princess.  Have you heard--we have a few new crew members, have each gained 100 lbs, and are headed for the Greek Islands.  You musst be the skinniest one of all o' us wenches, seein' as how you missed the slithery  chocolate orgy in The Great Belgian Chocolate Sea!!!!.
Welcome back aboard!  We missed ya!

-
OY! With this crew o' lusty wenches, methinks we'll need MANY backups!--OOOOoooo
How about John Corbett- that tall drink of water from Northern Exposure and My Big Fat Greek Wedding! He's made a music video and can sing right nice indeed. Meets the criteria of Functional (tall, so he's good at reachin' fer stuf) Decorative (yess indeedy!) AND Entertaining (la la la la la.)
Whadda ya think?
Capt Deb 8)
-
Oh yeah I vote Yes, yes yessssssssssssss ;)
-
Sorry for delay, my keyboard ran outa ink - couldn't find where to stuff the ink into - no comments from the peanut gallery thx.
I did go to lunch and ypum, had me a meat pie'n sauce. Thats ketchup to the uneducated.
The good ship BP continues its journey to the Greek Islands where the wacky wenches who have become wackyier are trying to exercise off the excess chocolate. Captain Deb is leading the charge but poor old Dr Luuuurrrrvvvv is no Dr no more. worn out, he is now skin and bone but not before Captain Deb has lost her excess and is trying to swqueeeeeeeeze into a size 4 pair of tights.
The other wenches, who don't have access to a dr Love have been, as the saying goes, like a bat outa hell utilising and wearing out all of Batty's toys and ancillaries (wild tyhey are, wild!)
Captain Deb is slowly, very slowly trying to walk around the deck in her very tight tights number when we here a rip sound. Yep, you guessed it, back to the quarters for Capt Deb who now puts on a pair of tracky dax.
meanwhile, unbenknown to all and sundry, a greek looking ship pulls up next to the good ship BP with a dozen blokes, no tshirts and 6 packs that we would kill for. Batti and gennysmom quickly get th hose to wet themselves (rude chix they are), Batti yells out - wanna play with my toys and Phyl staggers to the small boat and yells out "I want Cheeky Bloke", where is CB?, then takes a further look and says, Take your time CB.
Stay tuned for the next R rated edition when we find out - Is Dr Love still moving, Will the batteries in Batty's toys last much longer, will Phyl become sane?
Meanwhile
-
Hey did you notice I'm a "Hero Member" Now we know what happens when you live on here lol
-
Battyprincess.......MY HERO!!!!!!!
Laz..wot the bloody he** is a dracky tux er daxy trucks er dackkie trix?
Does it involve a thong? Spikey things? Patent Leather and studs? Leopard print? Feathers?
Straps? Fringe? Lights? Polka Dots? Some kinda weird Oz get-up I s'pose! Do you play footy in it?
I ain't wearing it if I don't know what it is!
Capt Deb
-
Batty the hero - maybe the moderator had pity on you for being lost in the time space continuim and made you a hero. Wonder what the next level is - supercuffs, maybe feather girl, the way you post, it won't be long.
Capt Deb - ignoraaaaaaammmmmmmuuuuuusssssss uneducated parrot!
tracky dax as distinct from tacky dyke - doesn't sound like you are but hey, all these foresomes - the mind boggles! anyway, tracky dax are tracksuit trousers - gee everyone knows that - get a life boid brain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :D
Laz
p.s - got ourselves a real live super hero on the ship now huh?
-
one more post - losing too much ground on the hero!
-
Larry if you make my toys wear out you best be finding a toy store in port somewhere! Or another ship of those honey's that just pulled up! ;D :-*
-
OK we need someone to design a costume for our resident superhero! Who was the onboard stylist? Was it shoegirl? Make sure there's LOTSA SPANDEX involved! God, how I miss the 80's!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Trust me ...spandex and I do NOT make a pretty picture right now! >:(
-
That's what spandex is FOR, silly! Makes yer blubber look like MUSCLE!
Capt Deb
-
OK, I'm catching up....John Corbett YES!!! I totally agree, and you know another one is Peter Horton...can we bring him too???? The guy from Thirtysomething that was married to Michelle Pfeiffer.
-
Gennysmom
Your are starting to get a little greedy now. I mean to say, how many blokes can you show your wet T shirt to? Geeeee, you and Bad girl Matti wench may have to be restricted to the after hours time slot.
The good ship BP continues its journey after the wenches wore out the greek reception (stayed up all night watching tele - yeah right).
A pretty uneventfuil couple of days pass when a key discovery is made by Phyl. Phyl tells Capt Deb to muster an assembly of the crew. capt Deb always does as she is told even though she aquarked under her breath - again, yeah right. Anyway, the crew is standing tall and wobbly (some extra curricular activity is still required) when Phyl makes her announcement.
Phyl takes a short breath and declares....
Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out: Is Phyl is a tranny in disguise? What ahs the evil parrot got in store for Phyl? will the crew believe what Phyl has to say.
Stay tuned for the next episode when the chronologer gives that wild and wacky wauward wench - Pearly girly the exposure she so deserves! - thats exposure Capt Deb, not exposing! unlike matti and gennysmom - Hey gennysmom, does genny approve of your wet t shirt competitions?
-
ROFL! FAR from a tranny in disguise! My CB will attest to that one... good try, dude! :) OH, I'm watching these chapters VEWWY closely, my dear Laz.....LOL! :)
-
Watch as carefully as you like girly - mmm tranny - waddya reckon CB? not that he'd own up anyway. - hey, I think i better improve my spelling / digital dixlexia. I'm sure I get characters round the wrong way more than pre AN!
Best back to work - got to get a budget package out today. By the way guys, I do business re-engineering / process improvement hence my slide show - not wet slide Batty wench. Of the wet t shirts - it was meant to be a strategic budget process. The business were contemplating closing down and manufacturing wet t shirts but insanity prevalied and they are back to the telecommunications infrastructure business - darn! ???
hey, that'd be a cool product - a permanent wet t shirt - gots to be careful who wears em though. As for me, I'm a topless one. I bear my chest to the world.
-
"Budget package?" I wouldn't be braggin' about that one, Laz!!!!!
Captain Deb
-
I can be greedy if I want to, I have plenty enough to share. Especially considering we already wore out everything we had. And Deb mentioned Corbett.
Genny approves.
I'm so darn tired today, I think I need to go make a coffee run. This is just rediculous!
-
Phyl lines up the crew, stares into their eyes and says, I'm, I'm - wait a sec (thats seC Capt Deb) I'll be back. Fearing an android of Arnie turing up, the crew wait anxiously, tapping the deck when Phyl returns.
I AM A DOMINATRIX, this wench dressed up in black thingies (I dunno what they are called, you know those who flung dungs), announces.
There she / it is, cracking the whip, inflicting herself with enourmous pain through the feather duster yelling out WHO'S NEXT - before Captain Deb would be gettin her pleasures, who, but who flies in to the rescue - It's Super Wench. But does super wench have an ulterior motive. Stay tuned for the next episode when we discover that pearly girly has yet another disguise, will Captain Deb get her pleasure and whats that bright radient star showing up in the sunshine
-
Who's Arnie? Is he a stowaway? Us Pirate Wenches makes stowaways walk the plank, less'n they be decorative or functional, or entertaining!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Sorry, Mum, I didn't respond to ye when ye arsked abou' bringin' Mr. Horton along! At least yer arsked! Some o' these here salty wenches jes' chucks blokes aboard without no permission atall! Jes' chucks 'em into the hunk hold! Such insubordination! No wonder the Master-at-Arms like to dole out the punishments! Kinky Bloke he is! New name fer 'im be KB! ;D
Hear that'n Master Laz!!! KB!!!
I think Mr. Horton be a loverly addition to the hunk squad. Permission Granted! ;D
Cap'n Deb 8)
-
Capt Deb,
The ship is gaining too much wait with all these "hunks"- have to release the choccie! or throw Phyl's rack overboard.
Arnie - isn't he now mayor of California! and who is KB? I think we need a new crew manifest. Have Sodagal and sunshine passed the wacky wench test? - ooooohhhh thats a doozie wench to be's.
-
Oh HO!!!!! Master Laz--that KB be yerself! You is the "K"-est bloke we got onboard dontcha reckon? The Princess Batty Wench here be a massive vessel--no sech thin' as too much weight (wait?) 'Sides--thought yer enjoyed Phyll's rack!!!!! ;)
Captain Deb 8)
-
The choccie's all gone, that's why we need all the hunks....We ate it all :'(
-
Laz keep up...you are KB! Yes Arnie is the mayor of california and I hear say he's on the kinky side himself lol
We need choccie..can't sail without it!
-
Capt deb will remain in her darkened quiet cabin for rest of day due to visit by migraine demon....#1 rule of the sea------stay afloat!
CD 8)
-
Arnie is my Govenor out here in California and he is a very, very flirtatious fella. I don't think we really want to bring him along, he is rather intimidating.
-
Capt Deb hope you feel better soon or at least tell us you ported us somewhere grand while you recover!
arnie can't come....we want young hotties how are single lol and can speak english lol
-
hope you feel better Capt. Deb!
BattyP - Got lost looking for that car wash again!!. Will try again tomorrow ;D
Still can't get used to Arnie pronouncing it Cauleefornia. I also wish he would get a new hair colorist, somedays his hair is orange.
-
My car is getting filthier by the minute as I can't seem to locate it either. Heck we don't even have a downtown around here lol
-
Captain Deb is alive and well and decides to make an executive decision! She has sent the Master-at Arms to the bilge for being vewwy vewwwwy naughty! "In shakles with the wretch--(just for a little while)" Meanwhile she commands Phyllis to put the aforementioned get-up back in Batty's toybox. Since the visit from the evil migraine fairy--Captain Deb has decided that Batty and Phyll really DO need those new superhero costumes!ÂÂ
The good ship Princess Batty Wench is off to the island of Mustique--in the far Grenadines. So we say farewell to the Greek Islands, chuck a few of the Greeky Cheeky Blokeys inta the Hunk Hold and anchors Aweigh--it's off across the rollin' Blue Atlanic to the Lesser Antilles again!!!
Now Mr. David Bowie has a house on Mustique , and rumor has it that he holds the secret of "Enchanted Spandex." Back in the Ziggy Stardust Days, Mr. Bowie supposedly weighed about 342 pounds, but the Enchanted Spandex he wore apparently did the trick! What with the Evil Migraine Fairy hanging around, our Superheros really need to get to work.
Will the Good Ship Princess Batty Wench ever find Mustique? Will they be able to discover the secret of the Magic Spandex from Mr. Bowie? Will the Master-at-Arms ever clean up his act?
Stay tuned.......................

But a twist in the saga continues, laz is soon approached by a mysterious person dressed in a dark cape and hood.
Who is this mysterious person? Will Capt Deb send the parrot as a scout for the spendex island or will wacky batty fend off Phyl's grab for the toy box?
-
La!! (Gennybirds favorite saying!)
As the pounding from the bilge continues, Gennybird hollars out a loud "TOP"! (her version of stop)
And what in the heck is someone dressed in a cape and hood doing in our bilge? Laz must be hallucinating. There are mysterious substances that live in bilges...
-
Cape and hood and nothing else? Sounds like one of the greek gods to me ;D
-
you all got into my Martini fixin's, didn't you!?!??!!? ;D
-
On yer girly, good to see ya on deck - any more fetishes that I can blast ya with? keep em clean coz might be some under age people on this board - like parrothead and crew.
-
ALL HANDS ON DECK!!!!!!!! swawks Captain Deb.
Motley wench and swashbuckler crew scrambles down from rigging, up from down below, and Batty pops up from the Hunk Hold. We seem to be missing someone!!!! Where is our cruise director? Where could she possibly be? Out searching for the Enchanted Spandex? Still in the Hunk Hold? Has she overeaten again and can' squeeze out of her cabin? All of a sudden a squeaky voice is heard from the bilge. It's Master Laz, who has been on bread and water for days and days.
"She's down here in the laundry room!"
"What's in tarnation is she doing down there--we has staff for that kinda stuff!" yells Captain Deb."
"Well, I suggested she keep her fetishes clean, so she's down here washin' 'em!!!" croaks Laz.
Has Laz cleaned up his act?
Are the fetishes hand-washable or do they need to be dry cleaned?
Will they shrink?
Stay Tuned.........................
-
Laz still shrieking yells out "I want my pie n' chips" but to no avail as Capt Deb grabs one of Batty's special silk scarves and silences Laz by taping the scarf around ....
meanwhile Capt Deb turns around and finds the cruise director trying hats on. "What in the tarnation are ya doing ya wacky wench" cries Capt Deb. "I'm looking for a cyber hat" Phyl says. Ah found one. It's a weird looking contraption but it fits beautifully. I don't even know its there Phyl proclaims.
meanwhile, Liaz is going a deep shade of blue and is struggling to try and release himself from the furry handcuffs.
Stay tuned when we find out if Laz will turn a different colour or cdlapse into a sea of chocolate, Will Capt Deb grab a toy or 3 for her next session with Doctor Luuurrrrvvv (who is currently recovering from exhaustion) or will Laz survive and get his pie n'chips
stay tuned
-
Captain Deb has finally decided to release Laz from the bilge "I'm rehbilitated" says Laz--"I really am---now gimme me pie 'n chips!!"
"Pie 'n chips for everyone!!" Yells Captain Deb.
cakes and Matti dive below and set themselves to work frantically making pie and chips for all the wenches, swashbucklers, Matthew, Sawyer, John and various other "dates" and the Greek Gods while Jimmy Buffet and Kenny Chesney serenade the crew--the bartenders are hard at work making sure everyone has plenty of blender drinks and beer--(except for Capt Deb who is the designated driver.)
The party goes on and on into the sweet Caribbean night.
8 A. M.
"Wots all this then?" says Captain Deb as she drags her a** outta her cabin--(it actually fits thru the door this time) The decks are a MESS! Pie and chips strewn everywhere--beer bottles, empty wine bottles spilled blenders all over the place!
This here ship be needin' a thorough cleanin up!!! None of the wenches know anything about doing housework, and none of the male crew or guests don't even know what it is.
"What are we to do?" wails Phyll.
"I know!" chirps the ever-resouceful Battywench. " There's this great carwash in my neighborhood--I go there all the time!"
Anchors Aweigh--the Good Ship Princess Batty Wench sets a course for Florida.
Will sodagal the navigator ever even find Florida?
Will the guys at the carwash be able to get the chocolate off the hull from The Great Belgian Chocolate Sea?
Will the wenches leave the carwash guys alone so they can do their job?
Can you "press ham" on a porthole?
Stay tuned..........
-
I"m thinking since the ships so filthy we need to run it through the carwash SEVERAL times!
:-* :-* :-* :-*
-
ah ha, you wenches are trying to destroy the evidence huh? huh? huh? I said Huh? (we all got hearing probs).
Now listen here Capt Deb, now that the crew has experienced a good ol' aussie pie, I suggest that we turn about and head for Adelaide town - down under. Now to the uninitiated, Adelaide is a quiet little town called the city of churches, has a coupla mill population with 2 glorious culinary items and lotsa topless cafe's - goosebumps a flyin everywhere.
Firstly, this motley crew, especially the wacky wenches need to down a pie floater. That's a meat pie (without any recognisable meat) smothered in tomato sauce (ketchup) and vinegar floating on top of a bowl of thick green pea soup.
This crew may not hold it down too well so then we can move onto the Barossa Valley. Surely those in the northern hemisphere have heard of the Barossa Valley - the greatest wine producing area in the world. Now for those of you, particularly from texas, the world is actually bigger than the texan border (believe it or not).
There the crew can get tottaly smahed and then go for a swim in the cool shark infested Indian ocean. So hoist the mainzel, tie your shoelaces, get the feather dusters out coz we are a sailin' for the land down under with your personl bad boy Laz as your tour guide he knows every house of ill repute there is to know (hearsay that is).
Will Capt Deb submit to being tortured with a tim tam dangling from her head just outa reach, to change course, will Batty actually take her car to the car wash rather than walk through alone waiting for the "boys" to scrub her, will Phyl emerge and say Hi again/
stay tuned
-
Is this the same car wash that is located somewhere "downtown"? I have now spent a total of 3 days looking for it. >:(
-
Whats with you wacky wenches - can't ya get ye hose out? oh I forgot, the wenches dunno how ta clean. Up to you capt deb, start the crew on the deck with bucket and feather duster and start scrubbin da deck.
-
Hey I never even thought of going through the car wash without my car..hmmm...now that could be better than larry's port! Gotta find the darn place first!
Laz a city of churches and topless places?? surely you jest :-*
topless or carwash? I'm going to the carwash where THEY are topless... right matti?? ;D.
-
Captain Deb has decreed:
First off to the mythical magical land of Florida and a trip to the Enchanted Carwash and THEN the Good Ship Princess Batty Wench shall set sail for Far Australia! We shall circumnavigate Australia--divin' on the Great Barrier Reef--check out some great surf spots-(-Captain Deb will teach the crew to surf) Which should be quite amusing, as some of us are pretty wobbly, but we shall find some Magical Surf Wax which will keep us from falling offa our boards.
We shal go to the opera as well and do the great bridge climb in Sydney!
So let's head for Florida, clean up our act-- then it's thru the Panama Canal and off acrost the Rollin' Blue Pacific and the South Seas to the Land Down under, where wenches glow and swashbucklers plunder! (la la la la la)
Will the wench crew (who really have all the power) agree to this new itinerary?
Will Gennys mom and Batty kidnap all the Magical Carwash guys and turn them into galley slaves?
Will the Good Ship Princess Batty Wench FIT through the Panama Canal what with all the choccie and pie 'n chips eatin' that's been happenin?
Will we be able to keep Laz outta the topless bars?
stay tuned........
-
Larry - This is a very special type of car wash for wenches only ;) ;) ;) ;)ÂÂ
BattyP - Not sure if I would want to go topless through the car wash, I think I'll just stick to wearing t-shirts...makes Larry happy ;D
matti
-
I suppose you'll be tellin' me next that this special wench car wash uses feather dusters only?
Does it wash cars or wash wenches?
Will it wash the good ship Princess batty wench? I think the deck needs a scrubbin (thats scrubbin, not scruber) and ye wenches are not cut out for that type of activity - scrubbin that is).
Hey Mom, you joinin Matti with the t shirt through the car wash? could get a few eyes a turnin?
To clarify Adelaide as the city of churches - it truly has a vast array of topless bars - they are all underground, not in the illegal sense but the physical sense, thats why there are goose bumps on all sorts of bumps!. I think its a CIA plot myself.
Capt Deb, you know the down under region pretty well huh? I reckon we should sail through the nullabor. Actually, we will need the wenches to get the oars out coz the nullabor is the strip of "land" thats between Adelaide and Perth (far west coast). The strip of land is desert but that don't matter coz plenty of sun baking available - gets to 55 degress celcius there. Double it and add 32 to get to Faranheight.
So we are off to Florida, through the swamp, overtaking Starsky and Hutch and onto the front door step of the Golden Girls. Well navigated Capt Deb - wheretheheckarewe Agarn? Dunno Sarge.
Get ya hands back onto the steering wheel Capt Deb and leave poor Doctor Luuurrrrvvvv in peace for 5 minutes.
-
Well, one of the things we just GOTS ta do is find out where Sweetie-pie Keith Urban lives. Somewhere Down Unda!! He just rocks my world! We picked up Kenny on St. John, so we just HAVE to go get KEITH!!!!
(I watch too much VH1 Country for my own good!) Good thing The Good Ship Princess Batty Wench gots NO TV!!
Laz--we has PHOTOS of the Magical Carwash if ya want me ta email 'em. Hey you live in Australia--do you know Keith Urban? Can you arrange for the King and Queen of Australia to meet us at the dock?
Batty--I almost didn't recognize ya! Looks like you and Phyll were successful in raiding Mr. Bowie's stash of Enchanted Spandex!! Whut loverly Superhero Costumes! Shocking pink looks good on ya! So do feathers! Phyll looks great in black, but what's up with all the studs? and that wild lookin' face-head-hat-thingy?
Captain Deb 8)
-
Aint got any Kings left (King Graham kennedy was the Johnny carson of down under bet his no longer and Queens, well we got a lota those!!!!! - I truly hope I don't offend anyone on that note
keith urban - sorry, me no speaka da engalish.
I'd like to see the car wash - email away. Are Matti and Mom wearing t shirts????
-
Matti, Mom and Batty are still looking for the carwash and yes we have out shirts on. THEY dont' at the carwash...we get to keep our on and ooooooogggggllllleeee
I think they can join the hunk hold do you gals agree? Heck you never know when the princess batty wench wil need a good scrubbin' and this way we don't have to go far to find the scrubbers :-* :-*
-
Hey hero batty wench - wonder what happens when you reach 1000 posts. You might just get a medal.
Now, I'm getting concerned at the weight of this her good ship princess batty wench. All these 6 packs on board will ensure that the wench crew does nothing all day but stare and... ah, we won't go there!
It will be good to see ya up and about Captain Deb.
-
OMG! We forgot to let Batty christen her namesake ship! We will have baaaaaad luck if'n we fergit that'n! :o Yer Cap'n outta be keelhauled fer this! Either that or tickled wi' th' feather dusters!
Please fergive me--I'm supposed to be trainin' this here motley crew in the ways of the sea!
Capt Deb 8)
-
I've got an aged bottle of champagne from a previous cruise but i'm liking the feahter duster idea..in face let's tie matthew to the ship and feather dust him for the christening! :-* :-* :-* must be original ya know!
-
We could feather duster him with really fine-quality cocoa powder! and a little Martha Stewart "sanding sugar.!" Yer call, wench!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Sounds yummy...anyone can do champagne..only the wenches can do sanding sugar! ;D :-* :-*
-
Sickos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Capt Deb, your punishment for forgetting the christening is to be determioned by me. Gots to think about it properly coz its a really serious offence.
I'm thinking that the feather duster is not enough. I'm thinking that the pearly girly needs to be givin ya a whippin - maybe at the car wash. or you have to eat 5 pie floaters in 20 minutes!
takes yer pick Captain deb (not for much longer (a mutiny is arisin)
Stay tuned
-
Laz capt deb seen the error of her way and got on it to fix it pronto! Her punishment is no choccies for a week!
that way Idon't have to share the sugar choccie coating we'll be putting on matthew : :-* :-* ;D
-
Sorry batty,
Capt Deb has overstepped her mark this time (you'll have to stop doing the splits coz you can cause some damage), the puishment will be severe. Those pie floaters are looking god Deb me girl.
Batty, your compassion to this err ridden wench of a Captain wees have is commendable but as you are obviously "in the same boat" as that wicked wench, you too will incurr her punishment.
Any other objections????????
This is after all, soon to be converted into a convict ship as we sail for down under soon.
Will the good ship princess batty wench be engulfed in a mutiny? will the girly get out of her tight black number and stop whipping things or will Capt Deb be able to handle her punishment
stay tuned
-
mutiny, def mutiny! ;)
-
Don't worry Capt i'm sticking with you! We can handle Laz no problem...i've got the cuffs what do you have? ;)
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(
\
I have a copy of Chapman's Piloting, Seamanship, and Small Boat Handling, which gots at least a hunnert ungetoutable KNOTS in it with which to tie up Master Laz!
AND I have at least one Superwench on my side! I guess Superphyll is still peeved at me, but I really didn't tell, I din't I din't!! ! This is supposed to be a FUN ship, not a mutinous convict ship!!! I think we need to make a stop in Jamaica on the way to the Panama Canal to get something to MELLOW everyone OUT!!!! ;)
Capt Deb 8)
-
SuperPhyl not peeved... SuperPhyl plotting revenge! :D
;)
xoxooxoxxoox
-
Aye ye wenches, ye has no idea whats this shrewd master Laz is a plottin - hint - watch out for the bermuda triangle.
Will the master at arms be up in arms, will he be able to unshackle Batty's furry shackles (will he want to) is is there a cunning plan afoot.
Stay tuned, only a few hours to go when all will be revealed (excluding Matti and Mom's t shirt photos)
-
Ya know, I'm having a quiet sort of week, not posting as much, but I am noticing that Laz is not letting go of the shirt thing. Matti, what do you think? I say if we give it to him full blast, he's done. Can not live thru the superpowers we possess as t-shirt wenches. He'll be left in a vegatative state.
Laz, what kind of vege do you dream of being?
-
Mom,
This is a trick question ye shrewd wench ye, the obvious answer is a carrot!!!!!!!!!!!
actually that might be a good idea - do carrots have headaches?
laz
p.s - another wench to be chucked overboard - whoops shhhhh spoil the fun for the upcoming episode
-
A carrot :o :o :o :o :o :o
Too bad we like cucumbers better ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
-
Master Laz does seem to be quite fixated on the subject. I'm worried that if we give it to him full blast, and even in a vegatative state, he will be begging for more. But it's worth a try  ;)
-
Cuccumbers go too swishy when tied up with handcuffs - ah, so they tell me.
-
Whats this gang warfare, this is high treason by ye wenches - your fate soon awaits ye.
-
Looks like the good ship may take a detour to the Dry Cleaners - Batty knows the way although I suspecty that matti and Mom do too!!!!!!
-
The good ship princess batty Wench, allbeit uncircumsized, whoops, I mean not christened, is sailing towards the Florida coastline when master laz has rallied the hunks on board and has broken into the armery where all the six packs were given a feather duster and furry handcuffs to take umbridge with Captain Deb,
MUTINY cries out Laz, Mutiny, yells the hunks.
Master laz has a cunning plan up his.. ah, sleeve thats it, sleeve. The wenches ya see are a wacky and wild lot but have been so pumped with chocolate that Jenny Craig thought them a lost cause.
laz and his six packs go to the deck to confront the Captain and her motley wench crew but the deck is empty, What's going on here Laz says to himself. Dunno, he replies (white coat, white coat). Then in a surprise move, out comes Captain deb and her Debulas, fangs glistening in the moonlight, black lycra outfits and whips slashing the deck with gusto.
there is a face off, those whips are no match for our feather dusters Laz says to Captain Deb. Ye may be right there laz but, I have a secret weapon or 2. laz, smirks and thinks that the secret weapons will be no match for his six packs.
Not a moment went by when up in the sky, is it a bird, is it a plane, no its super wenches. Not one, but two. Who are these mysterious super heroes dressed in t shirts. They have successfully distracted the six packs and before you can say "good to see ya up and about Capt Deb", the wench crew disarm the six packs and are now standing unarmed on the deck.
The wenches, fed up with these hunks, decide that they all have to walk the plank. A terrible moment in history.
Stay tuned for the next episode when:
Will the hunks walk the plank into the everglades? will the identity of the super wenches be revealed (above the shoulders only) and will Laz be chucked into the bilge again, or is that buldge.
-
I think mom and I would like a quick trip through the dry cleaners. It's not too comfy wearing wet t-shirts 24/7 ;)
-
I second that! Hate the horrible chafing...need to keep the girls perky.
And NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I don't want to know about Shane's chafing on Survivor...did you see the previews??? Ewwww!!!!! What in the heck happened tonight anyway?????????? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
-
The wenches blindfold the hunks (who think its their lucky day) then they are told to walk the plank. Oh no, cries out the first six pack. The salt water will muck up my hair do he proclaims.
I'll give ya hair do! Captain Deb returns.
But alas, Bad boy Laz has one more card to play. Overhead, as if like clock work, a large helicopter arrives - it's the Florida car wash guys. The wenches are dumbstruck and lose total concentration with Batty wench trying to pick her jaw up off the deck. Laz capitalises on this and immediately overtakes the wenches and ties them up to Pearly girlies racks (she has more than one in anticipation of a good time).
The wenches now all tied up and nowhere to go are at the mercy of the man from down under. He rescues the other hunks and declares that Captain Deb must habd over the reigns to him or will have stretch marks beyond reasonable doubt.
Capt Deb, sqwarking away defiantly says "never, you scoundrel". Laz turns the rack and another sqwark but she won't relent.
Laz, has more important things to do now and turns the ship facing due south west. Thats right, the good ship princess batty is on the way to Australia. Where? cry the wenches, after they say more, more of the rack.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out: Is Capt Deb really made out of expandable spandex, will the wet t shirts expand with the bodies or will there be gaps, will Phyl awake from her chy trance
-
matti and mom don't know the way to the dry cleaners...only you and I do larry LOL
I'm thinking they don't want to know lol
or the topless carwash either... :o
-
Hmmmm....maybe I don't want to go the dry cleaners after all :-\
Gennysmom - I was soooo confused last night on Survivor and almost lost my dinner when Shane pulled his pants down to get help with his chafing problem. NASTY!!!!
-
Matti we'll just go to our own dry cleaners....off to the Chocolate Factory again...they had a dry cleaner there!!!!!!!!!!!
So why didn't Terry give Austin the idol? I don't get it. And Lost better not be just Hurley's halucinations. If Shane wins Survivor, I'm going to have to boycott the show!!!!!!!!!!
-
Gennysmom - I lost respect for Terry, thought he was an honest and decent guy (kind of sexy too).ÂÂ
I will def. boycott reality TV if Shane wins and also (the verbally abusive) Lake and his wife Michelle on Amazing Race. My current favorites on that show are the horny guys and the hippies.
-
I'm with you...I HATE SHANE...if he wins I'll be peeved. Terry screwed up last night and I don't understand his logic...they could have turned the tides if they got rid of arras. Why give it to Danielle? If she said something to Bruce why would Bruce flip at that point. I missed how they all voted in the end. They showed Bruce writing arras's name right?
I like the hippie boys better than the frat boys.they are just so easy go lucky and happy all the time.
Blake needs to nice classes...he's the typical southern biggoted redneck jerk! They give us southerns a bad name...
-
There once was an Aussie named Larry
Whose AN, it seems, was contrary!
So the Batty Wench crew
To Australia they flew--
And they've kidnapped Phyll's Cyberknife Fairy!
Well, the Wenches, they landed Down Under
And poor Larry, he started to wonder--
Have they come here instead
For this thing in my head,
Or to party and pillage and plunder?
Captain Deb ;D ;D ;D
-
Damn you're good!!! Not only a talented artist, but also a prolific writer ;D
matti
-
Why thank you m'dear! Somebody else needs to write a limerick, though! ;D
Capt Deb 8)
-
Cap Deb,
Must say - very clever. Can't say I'm too good a poetry - gee how many strings to the bow - artist, poet, ah, we won't go down the other path, can almost captain a ship (currently in the rack) and speaks parrot - lady of many talents.
A small preview for the next episode in the good ship - as we head to down under - get ready matti and Mom, the Northern Territory is first stop (capital is Darwin) and guess what the annual event is there? - mmm, now let me think.
-
Yer ain't gonna believe this'n but I'm a pretty accomplished musician, too. I have played the flute, spoons, and sung back-up with several bands and made an album with one of them which is available online. My main music partner is Michael Beans who has a website http://www.beansmusic.com/ and is quite a pirate himself. He does a lot of original sailing music which is really great! Spend his time between the Virgin Islands and Michigan Great Lakes. The album I played on is called "Bluenose."

Capt nana Deb you simply amaze me with all your talent!
-
Captain Deb was actually a great back up. I have heard her talents. The song was called Chiro and Capt deb's contribution was:
aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
occaisionally the tempo would increase and then it would be
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Hey Captain Deb, how about a rendition over the net?
laz (soon to be beheaded - actually, wouldn't have any more headaches??? mmmmmmm)

AWK--AWK---AWWWKK------AWK. Awwwk, aaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwk. AWK! awk! AAAAWWWWWWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

d. Laz would get turned on
e. all of the above
Captain Deb 8)
-
Ya crack me up ya wenches - How does anyone do any work around here?????

Laz
-
e. All of the above! Yep, that's my answer and I'm sticking to it! :)
xoxox
-
Yeah I'm going for "E" too..must be pretty juicy!
Laz stay focused...it's sunday here so no work for me! Of course I don't get much work done on mon - friday either lol
-
Work? Bah! Not in the mood. I have this silly little fluffy ice cream cone making it very hard to concentrate. You can look at the frappr page for proof of it. I think it's vanilla...
OK, guys, I went to my new gym today and worked out for the first time in eons...been hard since I have a bum foot...but went swimming and feel pretty great. Now I just have to curb my urge to go out for ice cream!~ go figure!!!!!!! I really need to stop looking at the MRI so I don't crave ice cream.
-
OMG! I had my first scoop of ice cream today (in over a few weeks) while I had CB on the phone.. the way my head is feeling post-treatment, I told him I was hoping for an ice cream brain freeze! My luck.. didn't happen but dang, it tasted good! :)
Thrilled you got into the gym today K! My sadistic trainer called me this am to check up on me and my treatment and see if I was ready to get back into the gym yet... yeah, right.... pffffft! :)
Waffle or cake cone?
*runs off to see frappr pic!* :)
-
Yeah, unfortunately it doesn't make me crave vanilla, I still want the chocolate peanut butter mess from Coldstone. Or some chocolate, brownie, fudge, and marachino cherry concoction.
-

Under the misguided leadership if Leisure suit Larry, the good ship Princess Batty Wench sets sail for that land down under called (gotto be careful here) Austruckinfailure. Thats not very nice is it? we'll just call it Oz.
The wenches are where they should be, all tied up.
Suddenly land appears on the horizon, Laz climbs the thingy that you climb to the lookout and recognises (yeah right) the shores of the Northern territory. Ahoy ye mateys, ya wenches are done through being put on the rack, ye all must do one task and all will be forgiven.
The wenches concurr, albeit a little concerned and agree to the one task and are freed by Laz.
Whats the task ya miserable swashbuckler yells Captain Deb (who is now 1 inch taller). Laz is about to reply but holds back. Capt Deb is now getting furious and is stressing out with squarks flyin everywhere, The other wenches try to calm her down but this little parrot hasn't had poop management yet so the other wenches get totally covered in...
Meanwhile, during this comotion, Laz anchors ship and herds the wenches into row boats. The wenches want to have a wash first but Laz says pleanty of time for that. Dive overboard - that'll do but watch for the sharks, they bite here.
The wenches land and head to Darwin (capital) where it is 45 degrees celcius and 95% humidity. Capt Deb is about ready to muster her charges when Laz buts in and tells the wenches, we are here now and the drinks are on me.
Well, the wenches couldn't believe their luck but did think that Leisure suit Larry couldn't be trusted so were apprehensive at first but after the 5th rum, were all happy as...
Laz now decided to call in the task at hand and approaches the leader of the wenches to tell the good Captain whats around the corner.
Stay tuned for the thrilling next episode when we find out
What has Laz got planned? will the wenches agree to do this task? will Captain deb do a runner - whoops a flyer and poop on everyone?

Hi,
I',m new. MF surgery on left ear Feb. 16, 06. Doing fairly well. Questions about vision problems and sleep. I have acute apnea and cannot use my CPAP machine. I am sleeping in an "electric chair"
electric motioned recliner( til June). Take a sleeping pill but sometimes it doesn't work. Tinnitus gets louder at night when it's quiet. Facial paralysis improved tremendously, vertigo considerably improved. Told provoking the brain (doing what you know makes you dizzy within safety) helps the brain to heal faster. Using a treadmill 3 hours a week, shopping, movies, restaurants, walking, whatever. Wouldn't pass a breatholyzer just yet, though. Hearing almost all gone on left. Very difficult in crowds of people talking. Makes me up tight because I can't hear on that side. Anyone out there have the same problems?
Peace, Love, and Good Health to all,
WOW
-
Stopped in to give a big wave and a hello to you all. I once again disappeared for a bit. Going back to school is occupying me more than I imagined.
???Wondering when the pirates and wenches joined us... :D
-
ahh wind we've been here for a while..wanna be an honorary school wench? We've got Karla in school, matti starting school and me trying to make up my blasted mind about it!

Gennywench has a fierce bee tattoo on her left shoulder....got it on a fun trip to San Francisco a couple years ago. I want to get an AN with the no symbol over it on the side of my head after my surgery site has healed.
Tats are fun and if we can pick a good one, I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!
-
be careful what you wish for Capt DFeb - a jolly roger has rather nasty ramifications down under. Ah, I can't really explain it over these here airwaves, I'll email you. Lets just say that you need to have your back to the wall!!! work it out.
tatts, - tatts aplenty in the land of Crocodile Duundee (anyone see that movie with paul Hogan?
hey Mom? does your tatt glow in the dark when wearing your wet t shirts?
Aye, be chheky young laz!
Capt Deb, those who flung dung things you mentioned to climb for a purve sounds a bit nasty if ones appendage gets caught. Could cause a bit of damage - I might have to send Dr Luuurrrvvveee up there next time. I hear he is well versed in climbin things and diving off em???????????????????
Wind the wench, another crew member to this here wacko boat mmm, best be thinkin a new line here.
To WOW, welcome to you as a new member. Sounds like ya doing ok. Lots a good support here for troubles and concerns and also a bit of a laugh in this thread if ye wants to join the good ship Princess Batty - it hasn't been circumsized yet but no matter.
real busy day today so may have to wait a fair while for the next episode where ye wenches are in for "the surprise of the trip"
stay tuned

Wind wench, ye must pass the two initiation tests before ye can set foot on the good ship Princess Batty. They are tough tests but this is a high class establishment.
test 1. - Does the wind wench like chocolate
test 2. Does the wind wench participate in wet t shirt competitions.
Bees careful of ye answers coz ya may be asked to walk the plank (if anything is left of the overused plank)
Laz
-
Laz....the newly christened wind wench does not have to like wet tshirt contests to be dubbed a wench on the good ship battyprincess wench...she does however need to have a hankering for choccies! Considering our main stay of food is choccie fed to us by gorgeous swashbucklers like matthew :-*
To make it fair to you we'll all have to wear hot wench wear! Because on our reality ship we are all in shape hot wenches! Drool baby drool! :P
-
Woo hoo!!! Another blonde wench on the dread ship!!!! Shiver me timbers!!!! We blonde wenches need to stick together!!!! It all helps to keep the Laz bloke in line.
Chocolate is a must...we have some nice Matthew, Sawyer, and John Corbett treats....they've all been dipped in chocolate! Matt's in white chocolate for the Battywench!
If the Jolly Roger isn't good, we can just get the skull and crossbones!
-
ye wenches are getting too hot to handle.
stay tuned especially the blonde ones!!!!!!!!
-
I'm blonde... ok, help it along a bit but still blonde... ok, not naturally but if you want to make some good money.... buy stock in MissClairol!
welcome WindyShelly! Careful of the Laz... he's a tricky one! ;)
-
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRR, ye pearly girly wicked winch, yr speak with forked chocolate tongue. Don't listen to them windy wench, I'm harmless. lol - quick, they have come back, get those white coats off, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Hey Mom,
I think we need an update on the ships manifest - gots to know who I'm givin a hard time to. I think the old one is on page 20 or 21.
Phyl, Sounds like CB needs to put ya on the rack to re proportion you after all those choccies! that could be fun, just ask Capt Deb!
Ok wacky windy wench, looks like ya in. we's got ourselves another chocolate eating blonde. How the good ship princess batty wench sails is beyond me. Got a few heavy sessions (work that is you wicked wenches) this morning but will be back in ernest this arvo for a twist, a turn and a headstand - hey that might get rid of my headaches?
stay tuned

Capt'n Deb!!!! You guru, you! Impressive! and I didn't even call you to harrass you about me being in the computer industry, how I could help, I coulda talked your ear off (got love the decadron, ya know?), blah blah blah! You rawk! Great to see you online and please ship me the enchanted spandex.. trust me, this choccie week has been brutal on the hips!
xo

-
The wacky wenches with an extra blonde who flew in (get it, windy wench, flew in....) ok, I won't quit my day job! are all lined up outside this great establishment of dubious repute and Capt Deb, reluctantly leads the wenches inside into a bright dazzling display of lights and cameras and lots of people and crocodiles. MMM, not bad says the girly, hope the show is good. Little does poor little innocent girly whirly know, but Laz lines up the wenches and gives them these lycra t shirts to wear.
Oh no cries Batti, this can't be. Matti and Mom can't get into their t shirts quick enough. Capt Deb and Phyl are hessitant but were reminded of their agreement, windy wench follows suit. They are all lined up when Laz grabs the hose and the spotlight is shining brightly on the wenches and then laz lets rip with the hose.
But whats this, unbenkown to Laz, Capt Deb has secretly reconnected the water hose to a secret vat of chocolate gateau. The wenches are wallowing in the brown slosh, lots of mumbling with huge mouthfuls of chocolate gateau flying everywhere.
Ar, ya wicked Captain, ye tricked me for the last time. Capt Deb responds mmmmmm, "sit on it Laz". Phyl eventually, stops stuffing the gateau down and is talking to herself, the other wenches are buried knee deep in this gateau and are oblivious to their surrounds. Laz is furious and has started to plan the revenge.
Will Laz sabotage Batti's toys and put the batteries in the wrong way, does CB like gateau, what else does the parrot have in store for a counter revenge.
Stay tuned
-
Laz, my dear... you know I luffs you but really... keep the day job! ;D
xooxoxox
-
I think I really need to be taken away by those men in white coats.
Send em through again Captain Deb!
-
I'm thinking those men in white coats are really women in white spandex and that's why you're so eager for them to come again and again and again! :o
-
Captain Deb, in her pirate chapeau,
Almost drowned in the chocolate gateau!
She said with an "Awk!
Drag 'im back to the dock!
And toss Laz off our fine Wench Bateau!"
-
I like this episode Larry.  Covered in Chocolate Gateau... :o
-
Oh, good one Captain! Clap! clap! clap!!!
Anyone else hungry but me? I have a hankerin' for some chocolate gateau ice cream. Hmmm.
-
whats gateu? sounds like some big fancy city word ;D
-
It's French for cake, basically.
-
oh boy I like cake, I adore cake, don't think I can say the big word but will give it the ole college try! heck there are lots of words I can't say right now...think if I run around saying cake I'll get some? ;D
-
I think if you had a wet t-shirt Laz might get you some, unless he's too busy with the white boys, oh, I mean boys in the white coats...oh, I mean MEN in the white coats, Oh, Laz, what are you doing??
-
HEY!!!!
I think if Laz ever gets....ahem.......er......um......in a bad way with.....er....you know....that other THREAD---with the...............guidelines?
We could sick PENGUINS with White coats on him----that would get the lead outta him dontcha think???????
Captain Deb 8)
-
Conspiracy, ye wenches need punishment. I think i'll have to refresh the brain cells (got one or two left somewhere) over the long weekend starting tomorrow for me - yeah, woo hoo.
Might need to read some pirate books. I will however, take the good ship around Australia and give everyone a tiki tour of this great land of ours for those that haven't been here. There is a little more than wet tshirt competitions, although, I better read up to find out what they are!
Like your poem Capt deb, not sure I like the ending but it woul take a few of ye light weight wenches to move this frame overboard.
Batty, have a look under google for a pic of a gateau - usually very rich with layers of different chocolate. When ordering, the anticipation is wonderful, when eating, the sensation and tast is exquisite, when finished, you feel sick coz you ate too much!

Laz... got some material for you for future chapters... shhhhhhhhh........

Cheers guys,
I can just picture the girly standing on the desk and... well, for a second there I thought you were going to do a wet thsirt dance on the desk but hey, I'll take the swatting of the headache fairy away. Second best but beggers can't be choosers.
Feeling a bit better today so you must have swatted pretty well.
Hey Miss girly, Capt Deb or anyone, maybe you can help me with my home network. I have a broadband router which works perfectly when connected to my pc. When I hook up a dlink router through it for a network, it works for a few minutes then not. It is always connected but is not receiving any packets. I can ping the dlink address. It's weird. For around a year my original dlink router worked but then died. Since then, I've had nothing but trouble. The dlink people tested it and it worked for them. I must have a setting wrong somewhere. Any thoughts?
Laz
-
Sound like your 'puter has jumbies! The best way to rid it of jumbies is some kind of a sacrifice! Usually a body part will do. HEY how about a BALANCE NERVE or two!! We can retroactively sacrifice our balance nerves for Laz's puter!!! Laz, since were not there, you need to take all yer clothes off, cover yerself in mud and purple feathers and dance around the 'puter and say the following words:
OOODIE--POOO-DOOO wonky lonky lip lip looo-looo!
Papa fooo--loolie-loolie--gumpa! gumpa! gumpa!
WoooHooo! WoooHooo!! mow--mow-mow--tippy- tippy- tippy tooo! WEEEEE!!!! WEEEEE!!
Repeat this until the Jumbie leaves.
Good Luck!!

Capt. Deb - you really need to do stand-up comedy ÂÂ

Capt Deb 8)

sitting here laughing my hind end off...deb you're a riot. Laz you also must film that and broadcast it to the wench crew! My vestibular was "sacrificed" I'll have to see what chant the surgeon did :o)
Larry...sounds like you might not have enough memory to run it fast? Connection too far away? Of clicked a wrong setting.
phyl are you the computer guru? Fix it fix it as my 3 year old niece would say! :-*
-
Capt Deb,
I'm definitely sending those men in white coats to ya.
ah, the dance and chant didn't work by the way. The film is copywrited and will be sent to all mental asylums!
Laz
-
Well, obviously, you didn't do it long enough! Sometimes it takes HOURS to get rid of a jumbie! I usually have to do the 'Puter Jumbie Dance and Chant for about 3 or 4 hours to get mine to leave. Were the feathers really purple or were they magenta or eggplant? Was the mud thick enough to remain on for at least 2 hours?
Let me know.
Capt Deb 8)

Deb thanks for making me smile...it's been a boo hoo 2 days for me!
-
NO BOO-HOO FOR YOU!!!!!!!! ONE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!

I wish it was that easy LOL I don't even know the whole of why I'm boo-hooing..maybe it's because Phyllis ate choccies while on the phone with me and didn't share? LOL ???
-
And the good ship Princess batty Wench sets sail around the top of that great land down under heading due east and north a bit otherwise will run into the coast. Pretty good sea farin talk huh Capt Deb?
as the ship goes up a bit, to the right and then heads down due south Captain Deb decides to pull anchor at a strange place called Cairns. Captain Deb sends out her search party Batty, Phyl, Matti and Mom to investigate and see whether the natives are friendly. 3 days went by and no word at all from the wenches. Captain Deb decides that they are introuble and is mustering the armoury. Out come the furry handcuffs and feather dusters. Even mark, who is now cleaning the latrines, is told to "brush up".
As Capt Deb approaches this village, she is stunned by what she sees and hears. This music is playing and outside in the brilliant sunshine are those wicked wenches undergoing what initially sounded like torture (lots of ooos and ahhhs) but revealed as "six pack massage" Capt Deb is feelingt very jealous at this point but can't say anything as Dr Luuuurrrvvveee is right behind her.
Will Capt Deb take revenge and attack the six pack massuers (can't spell), will the wenches revolt and never move again, whats that music in the backgound? stay tuned...
-
Happy Easter!

  Happy Easter!
Back atcha cakes! Happy Easter! :)
Hey, Laz! Who's 6-pack am I playing with? :P
-
Happy Easter everyone!!! I had such a great time at the spa yesterday, I came home and fell asleep. I tried to imagine how long it would take till I could do that again after surgery. I think I had to roll over on the vichy shower table 6 times or so, and could barely do it with my old creaky joints without falling off the table now. They need an automatic pancake people flipper for it. So for all you posties...does rolling over make you dizzy?
-
I guess that depends on how many times you do it! (Roll over) I played roll down the hill with my grandson last summer--actually the whole family played it--boy did it make my head swim for a bit. The worst part of post surg- was not being able to sleep on my stomach for a twhile cuz of IV's, monitors and other contraptions. Then can't sleep on AN side of head--OUCH!
Laz--the term is East by Northeast! or whatever. Yer gettin' right handy with the nautical lingo!! It's the anti-jumbie chant yer havin' a problem with!!
Gennysmom--we'll have to build a Spa on the boat! ;D
8)
-
This postie admits that as of this week, just "rolling" out of bed makes me dizzy! :o But heck, you all know I'm dizzy anyway... so, that's not new news! :D
-
I couldnt' sleep on AN side as it made my head swim and hurt since. I still dont' do stomach sleeping and have trouble rolling on the exercise table...that could be a lot from age, fat and exhaustion vs AN though :-[
You know have the spa get one of those circle beds they use in the hospital..you strap em down and flip over with the push of a button ;D
-
funny, I'm a side sleeper and do sleep on my AN side.. but this past week.. not sure if due to the enhanced tinnitus or what, but having difficulty sleeping on my left side like I usually do. Not one to sleep on my back or right side (darn deviated septum prevents that one)... Sleep standing up, possible... but until I get off the decacrap, I wont' be sleeping anyway! Anyone need their kitchen floor washed? :D
-
I used to be such a light sleeper that years ago, when my hearing started to go, I started sleeping on my non-AN side. So I've been using putting my good ear to the pillow as an advantage for 15 years or so...am well trained at sleeping on my non-AN side. Not a stomach or back sleeper.
Spa on the boat....good plan!!!!!!! I like it!!!!!! I have a massage therapist that would fit right in and would love to go. She's been trying to stow away on my suitcase for the Europe trip.
-
Hey Phyl,
Our floors could do with washing. Won't charge ya much (training). I bet your handy with the old feather duster hey - nudge, nudge, say no more.
Back to work tomorrow - YUKAROONEY. These long weekends are great but about 360 days too short.
Enjoy your last day off guys.
Laz
-
no long weekend here... My Japanese office doesn't do long weekend.. while CB gets "bank holiday" in London... ok, I'm peeved! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
-
you gotta be kiddin? no long weekend? as a matter of interest, in this lucky land down under, we get 10 public holidays per year plus a standard 4 weeks annual leave. If you are a good negotiator, you can usually swing 6 weeks annual leave but thats for the "rich and famous". oh if you work for a bank, you get a bank holiday as well. oh, and you also get 17.5% loading on your 4 weeks annual leave. Thats just short of about a weeks pay on top.
I think thats about as good as it gets - unless you are self employed when noone pays you when you are on leave.
Laz
-
Ok, so I'm moving to the land of oz and taking a vacation right off the bat! I've been vacationed deprived for years. I usually take the month of july off with no pay then have to go to a work conference right in the middle...This year its at the end and I'm sure I won't be going LOL
-
So, what, Laz, you have to sell your soul for that or what?? ;)
Actually, I've been here so long I'm earning about 4.5 weeks a year. With 10 holidays as well. And a flex schedule. Must have negotiated well!!! ;D
-
Soul, soul, got rid of that years ago!
Actually work conditions and stress are largely what you make of it. There are some very unscrupulous employers around 9everywhere I think) but by and large, its not bad here. Sydney is the "fastest" city and then as you get into the smaller capitals the pace drops a bit.
Anyway, back at boring work now so will need to do something today. gotsto think of the next adventure coz they are getting a little stale. I mean, how many times can ye wenches be dipped in choccie?
Laz
-
WOW!!! I just never get tired of gettin' dipped in chocolate!!!! Maybe we oughtta dip Laz in chocolate!!! Get the crane!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
a crane is the only way to lift me right now after all the choccies around here.....
*takes off tight jeans and slips into elastic waist sweat pants!* :o

Did anyone tell Larry about the newest idea from Friday nights phone call?  The calendar titled "The girls of ANA" ÂÂ
Any ideas Larry? ;)
-
oh, crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He knows now!!!!!!!!
-
mmm, some ammo here for the cruise
Hey Capt deb, whaddyamean "crane" (better be heavy duty)
Calender for the ANA girls huh - From what I have seen (pics), you guys would make a fortune - some pretty funky looking chick wenches (including the parrot) I must say! I haven't used the word funky for light years - since about WW1.
Now back into those tight jeans Phyl!
Laz

Now back into those tight jeans Phyl!

ain't happening today, bucko... make the request again next week.. I'll contemplate it then! ;)

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didja read the post about the "whale oil" fer Phyll's tight jeans? Mebee we wenches need to do an old fashioned Nantucket whale hunt fer alla our tight jeans. So politically incorrect! Aintcha never hearda stretch denim britches? What a miraculous invention! Howdya think I got inter them red and white stripy things on my Frapper photo? Whale oil!!!
Captain Deb of the sore butt and thighs from yesterday's workout 8)
-
whale oil!?!?!?!? I protest!!!!!! NO killing no whales for me to get in my britches!!!!!!!!!
-
Yeah, see, I gotta chime in with Phyl here. No killin whales. We'll need to come up with some synthetic whale oil. My boyfriend mocks me for being a tree hugger (he kills ruminants, murderer!) but I yam what I yam.
-
we have to find an alternative to choccie...doctor said no choccie for me for at least 3 mos :o(
-
OK, this is really weird, but I find good Thai sticky black rice pudding with a floater of coconut milk on it just as good as chocolate. I know several others that agree.
-
I like no sugar added ice cream mixed with unsweetened cocoa powder, you know, the kind ya bake with! Or sugar-free chocolate pudding.
Capt Deb
-
ye wenches have to be a little careful. sugar free this, that the other - it aint good for ya in mass quantities. My younger daughter found that out. Her dietician said that she had starved her body of no fats for too long and thats why she was drinking a lot of tea etc to fill herself up. Have these artificial sweeteners in moderation.
Laz (who needs a crane to be moved)
-
I love the thai sticky rice in coconut milk...somehow rolling matthew in it just won't be the same as choccie!
-
HEY CAPT DEB,
I'm gunnu (oz for going to) send ya a voodoo medal coz your chanting worked. Resetting my router from wirless to not wirless did the trick.
ya should'a seen me, wet my t-shirt, hired me a crane, got up on the computer desk and did the anti jumbie and wholah, it works.
Laz
-
The good ship Princess Batty wench sets sail once more down the east coast of the land down under. It does take a while to sail down this coast line coz its a long way! (brilliant observation by master Laz).
Capt Deb orders the ship set anchor at a port called Surfers paradise. The wenches weren't too keen but the swashbucklers were stumbling across each others feet in order to get onto terra firma.
Capt Deb was curious as to the male panick but after her blindfold was removed by Dr Luuuurrrvvvveee, she was why. The good ship PBW has landed at a nudie beach. The wench crew were a bit apprehensive, at first, but decided, what the heck, all was revealed by the crew who made a bee line for the beach, swimming at a rate of negative knots (too much chocolate). They emerged onto the beach in their birthday suits (no t-shirts allowed) when they looked up and saw everyone on the beach were now clothed and there were a number of policeman on the beach with their battons.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out, Will someone find the keys to Capt Deb's handcuffs, will batty wench take control of the situation and approach the head policeman and ask him out for a date? where has pearly girly gone?
-
The good ship PBW on it's way to Surfer's Paradise has surrendered all its choccies...The wenches in full agreement decide not to indulge in anymore choccies for at least 3 months.
What will they decide to dip Matthew in, now that all the choccies are gone ???ÂÂ
-
HONEY!!!!!! :-* :-*...it's medicinal you know!

Oh Mighty Wonder from Down Under Laz--
Does they gots maple syrple in OZ??
If not, what th' blazes does yer eats on yer flapjacks?
AAAAAAARRRRRRR!
Captain Deb 8)
Hungry Pirate Wench :P :P :P
-
Ah ye pirate wench. We's got maple syrup buts we's also gots ourselves something better. It's Vegemite.
Now for ya uneducated northern hemisphere folk, it's tangy and dark in colour. It's the minus 235th wonder of the world. Only made and found in the land down under. Although I believe that CB's lot have it over there now.
Sorry, been out of action a bit - it's that headache again.
Laz
-
Dang Evil Headache Jumbie!
I need to find out the chant for that one next. If the Computer Jumbie Chant and Dance worked for ya, maybe there's one for the headache as well--another trip to Haiti I guess!
Hope you are feeling better, dear chronologer and resident DOM!!!!!
Huggles and Kissies :-* :-* :-*

When you find the headache chant, send it to me, I've had a whopper this week.

Capt Deb

I be thinkin' you crew hands have passed the headache fairy my way! ;o( have had one for two days and I haven't had one in months!
Vegemite sounds healthy is it laz?
-
oooooggiie boooogie?? have those men in white coats arrived yet?
Batty, vegemite is as healthy as it comes. Its chocker block full of everything you need. If you have an aussie shop somewhere, you should try some.
not good to be dipped in coz its rather firm so could hurt a bit.
The good ship PBW will set sail again after the headache jumbie goes away. sounds like a worldwide plague!
off to bed now after wearing out 2 ice packs and after a cracker day, its pretty cool tonight so those ice packs were hard to handle.
Lethargic Laz.
-
Is Vegemite like Bovril, a weird Brit delicacy? When I lived on St. John, I could basically "see" England from my beach shack. Had a view of the British Virgin Islands. Them was the days, they was, they was! ;D
Capt Deb 8)
-
bovril, bovril - heracy ya wicked wench. There aint nothin like ya vegemite.
I should try and get some off to ya wenches.
Laz
-
No Aussie shops here so I'll just have to wonder. I dont' know why something the consistency of peanut butter comes to mind.
We all need to feel better and rid the migraine fairies from attacking!
-
I have had a headache all weekend, thought it was because the change in the barometer. Today it's really a whopper. Ok, going to try to get some pics or at least one pic of my pup on the board, kids are around and the pup is sleeping for now. Hope you are all doing well. Read a thread that I was going to respond to but didn't like what I saw. Just wanna say, Batty, you rock my socks. So does most everyone else here, you know who you are!
-
Static--I kept a headache journal for months and the barometric pressure (low) was a huge influence on my headaches--it was really amazing. Dr. Love said he didn't need the wather channel anymore--he could predict the weather using my head!
Hope ya feel better
Capt Deb ;D
-
Static - I Love the puppy pic. I had forgotten what it was like to take care for a puppy, was helping my sister-in-law because she was so exhausted. Was only with him for a day and I had to buy new shoe laces LOL. How is your older dog doing with the puppy?
Headaches here too. Hope yours is better! have a great day
matti
-
Thanks Static..
Puppy is cute...how old? My parents have a new sheltie pup that's driving them crazy lol
Yeah I used to be able to guage my headahches by the barometic pressure too Deb. Glad I can't anymore!
-
Static--the pup is adorable!
Ursa, my Black Lab cuddles up next to me when I'm having a migraine and calms me down. She'll stay in bed with me all day--I call her "Nursie Ursie!" Dogs rule!
Capt Deb
-
OK you blokes and wenches,
Good flippin' Mornin' to ya! It is soooo beee-yoooo-teee-fulllll out today, we simply must go sailing!!!!!! AAAAAHHHH, the wind in yer hair, the sun and salt on yer skin, the reggae music blarin'!!! A great day to be a PIRATE!!!!!!!!! A great day to be ALIVE!!!!!! Life is GOOD!!!!!!!!
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D
Captain Deb 8)

It's sunny and gorgeous here in the rainy city. wind is from the north, which means high pressure and good sailing weather. Not blowing enough to make sandwich speed, but good enough.
For all you landlubbers, sandwich speed is about 7 knots boat speed...the speed at which it becomes quite difficult to make a sandwich in the galley without it flying everywhere.
-
Ok, sorry for being late with replies, but after I've responded to posts, I often forget which ones and can't remember which ones to go back to. Guess I can blame it on the brain surgery ;) Anyway, Zoey the pup is now 10 weeks old and has grown alot already in the past 2 weeks since we got her. The dogs are managing ok, Ginger, my older golden puts her in her place when she has to. Ginger wasn't feeling so well recently. Seems the pup had kennel cough and Ginger got it. So now she's on meds and so is the pup. I have to cook ground meat and rice for Ginger too because I think she just gets upset easily and can't stomach the meds without food and she won't eat her dogfood because she doesn't feel good. I have to get my kids to load more pics to the puter then I'll put them in my photo bucket (my daughter started it for me) and give you all the link. Thanks for asking though. It definitely keeps my mind off other things and also doesn't give me much time for anything else! Happiness IS a warm puppy!
-
Laz, Oh Laz!!!! G'Day Mate!
Hope you had a great holiday and enjoyed your footy-gamey-thingy. Let us know how rowdy it got!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Ok Capt Deb, I wanna know those happy pills ya got.
My mindset has been pretty ordinary last few weeks - those headaches again but will try and put matter over mind (got lots of matter) and set sail again own the fantastic east coast of this sunburnt country.
Now listen Mom, whats this sandwich speed - no picnic on the PBW ya here. It's Rum speed - speed at which ya miss ye mouth with the cup.
Aye, ya need some sea farin educatin 'ere.
On a sour note, it was an ok day yesterday re the footy Capt deb - 90,000 people packed the ground, unfortunately, my team lost and my two dogs couldn't handle my barracking. The game was in Melbourne so I watched it on tele.
I have two maltese ****su cross dogs. We stared with one (Piccolo) and then got him a friend - (Abbey). They are great company for each other and get on like a house on fire. They are great company for us - always there and have no other agenda.
stay tuned

The good ship PBW sets sail south and faster than you can say Cyclon Larry, in a turbo charged burst of hot wind caused by too much chocolate, the coast line has now moved about 1500 kms and is now sailing through the Great barrier Reef. One of the 7 wonders of the world (I think - need to check google). peaceful, bright, clear blue water and corals as far as the parrot can sqwark.
Sailing further south the swashbucklers on board turn the ship right - is that starboard capt deb? as something or somethings, actually, pairs of somethings caught their eyes. The place, Surfers Paradise, party of what is commonly called the Gold Coast. So named by all the developers who built skyscrapers on the beachfront.
The good ship PBW anchors and the swashbucklers make a b-line to shore, not waiting for the row boats, swimming furously.
Ya see ye all, Surfers is well renowned for being very warm for most of the year hence, guess where I am going here??? yp, bikinis everywhere. Even th mter maids are scantily clad. A great place for the perv.
The wenches on board are not amused and send a signal to the swashbucklers which is duly ignored includiong CB and Dr Luuurrrvvveee. The wenches hoist the sail thingies, and threaten to set sail without the males.
Could this be? what will Capt deb and girly hirly do without their to boys? Will Batty go broke coz no more toy rentals? Will matti and Mom finally dry their t-shirts?
Stay tuned.
-
Las you crack me up....was trying to figure out what type of dogs you have..maltese and ****zu mix? I have a malteepoo (maltese poodle mix) he's a pain in my arse! His lasapoo buddy is the better of the two LOL
Toy rentals? Heck NO! Yous got to buy those suckers outright! LOL
-
Never rent when you can own ;)
-
T-shirts dry as don't want any Shane type chafing going on.
-
Thanks for reminding me >:(  Didn't think it possible that Shane could get anymore annoying...but I was so wrong. Didn't he threaten to go to What's her name's apartment and kill her?
-
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that!!!!!! Freakshow!!!!! So what's going to happen tomorrow? Will Terry have to use the idol???? I hope not...I hope they get rid of Shane!!!!
-
Can you guys believe Phyl just called me during the last ten minutes of amazing race? GEESH what's wrong with that woman? ;D
Shane needs to go...shane needs to go..courtney needs to go next! They're both freaky deaky if you ask me! I'm rooting for Terry! He's the only one who could survive on his own!
-
Batty,
****su cross. Similar snmall breed. Our dogs are wonderful, they are pretty high maintenance but give us great joy. They often play together including tug of war. Its really funny watching them at this. Piccolo, the great gentleman dog he is, usually lets Abbey (girl) win the tug of war coz then she goes to town on the toy and he TRIES to go to town on her. Clever lad, well trained! Slight pitfall but, she must have that time of month a lot coz she, in typical girly fashion, barks at him to get off her. mmmmmmmmmm, how familiar is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
typical man
-
Static - LOL
-
Hey ye wenches - ye makin fun of this here swashbuckler?
Actually I didn't realise that the word beginning with s and ending in t would be shown like **** . Its the real name of the breed - true dinks.
And listen here Ms Static, ye might just have to walk the plank with a wet t-shirt on if ye not be careful!
Hey girly, is CB with ya yet?
-
Hey Batty,
You are very quickly approaching 1000 posts - got sore typing fingers yet?
-
It could be worse, Abbey could have an AN, have surgery and then have a headache alla the time--that'd keep 'im offa 'er!  Just kidding--wouldn't wish that on a person, much less a defensless puppy-duppy!
Had the stupid-a** Migraine Fairy in my flippin' CAR yesterday--got alla the way ter the flippin' GYM and she whacked me right in the parkin' lot! I went to the locker room and shot up (Zomig up the schnozz) Then I hadta stop and get flippin' $3.00 a gallon flippin' GAS with a flippin' blinding migraine so's I could get flippin' HOME!
Anyflippin'hoo----------------------------------------
Thanks for makin' me smile, y'all--esp you Laz ya flippin' Bloke, ya! But, HEY!  This here wench can flippin' "Kini" with the best of'em, if ya get my flippin' drift!  Flippin' AY!!! :o
Captain Flippin' Deb 8)
-
So sorry you had such a bad day. This is a hard thing to get through. I didn't sleep at all last night and got about 2 hours from 8 to 10 this morning. I look and feel like a whacked out mental patient! I talked to the pharmacist and they said the meds are on the way out and it would get better. I'm trying to drink lots of water to flush it out. I just want a good nights sleep!!! But, Capt. Deb we are thinking of you and hoping for better days. :'(
Sue
-
Hey Laz, was watching the reality show Amazing Race and the contestants were in Perth. Saw Freemantle Island and the prison. How far are you from Perth?
We need to take the good Ship BPW there :)
Capt.Deb - I hope you are feeling better today. Waving my magic wand and praying for no more migraines.
matti
-
Yeah I thought of las last night while watching the episode. I so think the hippies are hysterical LOL
Deb no more headaches, migraines...no I didn't not put gym on the list!
Yes laz if you use a vulgar word it will asterick ya LOL like h***, s***, d***, f***,a** this is a gp rated room! Ok so some of these words actually worked I just edited them ;D
No to the sore fingers..I guess I'm pacing myself LOL Someone needs to find me a job where I can interact on the computer and work various hours as I feel like it with premium health insurance benefits LOL I don't ask for much now do I :-*?
-
Hey Batty,
You have reached the 1000 and still a hero. Maybe you gotto get to 10,000 posts before the bells and whistles go off. Speaking of bells and whistles, on a different thread, there is a current affairs show here shown at 6.30pm and I saw glimpses of the preview for tonights show. Apparantly, there are women on there who claim they, whats the term, "jump for joy after an intimate session" every minute. It justs happens. I usually don't get home in time to watch but might need to see that one. they claim its a curse for them. Youd do better than that Capt Deb? can Dr Luuurrrvvveee walk yet?
Matti, the good ship PBW will make its way to perth but it is a long way from Sydney. It compares L.A to New York. By memory its about 4,000kms. I think east to west Oz is similar to east to west U.S. We will go and met the Fremantle Doctor whilst over in Perth.
Capt Deb - $3 pe gallon - don't complain. we were paying that 3 years ago. Its now equivalent to flippin A$6.40 which is about $4.70 U.S
Its about double to triple that in Europe. Petrol has gone up 50% here in the last 3 months - another headache coz I drive a fair bit. Or is that a wallet ache? any meds for that?
Laz
-
YIKES at that rate my son would not be driving soon. His car is paid for he needs a job to pay for his gas to get to school YUCK!
-
Actually Dr. LLLLUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRVE escaped my wenchly clutches and went fishing this morning at 7 AM with my brother. Musta drugged me or sumpin cuz he usually don't get away that easy!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Deb You have a brother? Is he anything like you?
7AM are they NUTS? lol
-
OY! My brother is waaaaaaay crazier than me, if you believe that to be possible!
Captain Deb
-
Oh I believe....Scarey thought but believeable! :-*
-
Well, welll, well!! Don't we know what Miss Pearly Girly is upta right now! ;D A little post-treatment physical therapy dontcha know!
The girls had a good chat tonight and got ta hear that sexy Cheeky Bloke accent--OOOOOOOEEEEEEEEE!!!
Captain Deb 8)
Listenin' to Live Jimmy Buffett Concert via RadioMargaritaville!
-
OH, by the way, Jimmy mentioned that he had a week off--where do you think we should take him after we shanghai him aboard The Good Ship Princess Batty Wench? I know he likes to surf (he calls it old fart surfing) and he loves Oz!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Was racking me' brain tryin' to figure out who Jimmy was...DUH>>>>Buffet
Phyl just called and said...that was 100 calories....hmmmm...
-
It's 1000 calories per hour. Lets see, 100 calories = 1/10th of an hour = 6 minutes.
Crikey, you could imagine the... noise - hope the neighbours don't complain?????
C'mon girly and CB, I think ya need some coachin from Capt Deb on staying power here - mind you, Dr Luuuurrrvvveee seems to escape from the Captain wench these days so maybe he's just plum wore out.
Off to dinner now and feel mighty hungry. Bought some fantastic prawns for lunch so this resteraunt better be good.
It will be good to see ya up and about again at some stage girly.
Laz
-
maybe that 6 minutes was just the car ride home. But who was driving.....Beanie ??? ???
Enjoy your dinner Laz, it's breakfast time for me
-
No, I think it was started while on the phone w/ the wenches last night LOL Lots of heavy breathing being heard but no one would own up to it LOL
Too funny...6 mins? Heck that's sad!!
-
mmmm yum, had a whopping big rump steak with pepper sauce, chips and salad. Fantastic, nice and tender.
It's 12.30am now and we just got home. Still feel full and should go for a walk but, nah, too lazy.
Betcha I know what CB and the girly are doing. Hey, Batty wench, hopes ya get ya toys back from them!!!!!!!!
right, feel a bit thirsty now and need to pop a coupla pills to ease my headaches, actually thinking an ice pack now would be good.
catch ye all. Hopefully in the mng, the good ship PBW will be a sailing - next stop Sydney where I think we might circumsize our ship. Can't have any overhang trottlin through the wild Indian Ocean now can we!!!
Enjoy your day.
-
Larry you crack me up!
I used to live on ice packs until I had my neck surgery for my headaches...still have a freezer full!
Sleep well, we're just getting up LOL Shall we start calling Phyl and CB and see how winded they are? LOL :-*
-
Hey Batty,
Ya muscled in on my thread here ya wicked wench.
But your'e right, 6 minutes is sad. maybe we need to teach em some staying power. Surely Capt Deb and Dr Luuurrrvvveee have a chant and rant and rave process to pass on. Now keep it clean Capt Deb.
-
Laz could you imagine living next to Capt Deb and Dr. Love in an appt? GEESH! You'd never get any sleep LOL ;D
-
Apartment?
Jeeeesh!!!!
We's hadta buy us 5 acres o' WOODS and puts our house right in the MIDDLE of it so's not to pi** off the neighbors!!!!
Captain Deb 8)
-
My point exactly LOL :-*
-
PHEEEW! Batty that was post #666 on this thread! Sure hope it ain't cursed! We pirates be super-stishus folk! Might hafta find a chant and dance fer it!
Anyhoo--Captain Deb is feelin' a might better after a pretty puney week-end. Guess I gotta quit wishin', gotta go fishin', down ta rock bottom again-----ooops--bin listenin' ta too much Buffett agin--or not enuff!!
Heard Papa Pearl and Da Bloke and Pearly Girly had a big ole' time this past weekend--hope they're all recoverin'! ;D
Oh well, Dr. Love bought a coconut and wants me ta make 'im a pina colada, so I best go crack open the thing for 'im with my special coconut opener!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWK!!!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Gunna give us a demo of the coconut opener Capt Deb?
-
Laz I'm thinking somethings are better left to the imagination! :-*
-
Laz I think you already have a demo video of the coconut opener on your 'puter! I was a bit thinner and younger and my hair was longer when I made it. As I got older, I got a lot stronger and graduated to coconuts!!! :o
AAAAAAWWWWWK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Captain Deb 8)
-
did someone say coconut bras from Hawaii? Yep, I own me a pair... of coconuts, that is!
*turns around and tells the peanut gallery to hush up!* ::)
-
I tried one a them once--I guess I shoulda took the coconuts outta the tree first!
Capt Deb 8)
-
You DO realize all this talk of coconut bras and thongs is "Laz Fodder."
Captain Deb 8)
-
Speechless I am, speechless.
actually, that ^&*(&^$%$ headache fairy visited me again and I am soooooo busy at work. I must say though, the above conversation has put a grin on my dial.
All that talk of over shoulder boulder holders, has brought back a memory... ah, thinks twice - ah, not for this forum.
Capt Deb, now that you have mastered coconuts, whats next?
Laz
p.s the good ship PBW is currently in for repairs and will set sail shortly.
-
Re: coconut bras - one size does not fit all ;)
-
Re: coconut bras - one size does not fit all ;)
In my case, very twue! :D
-
I decided when I was in hawaii I had no business trying to stuff myself in coconut bras..so I bought them for my 2 year old niece LOL
-
Yeah, those darn coconut halves end up looking like gorilla whipples. Just not right with such ghastly white skin.
-
What in the ding dang is a gorilla whipple?? Sounds like good limerick fodder.
Capt Deb 8)
-
What does whipple rhyme with? Trying not to get kicked off.
-
Ripple? Tipple? Cripple? Bipple? Shmipple?
Capt Deb 8)
-
ROFLMAO  Shmipple
-
Geeeesshhhhh
Ya wenches talk with forkem tongues. Sounds like a vidit to Kings Cross in good old Sydney town is needed fer ya.
Stay tuned - gots me too much work to do this weekend but will set sail shortly. The good ship PBW is loading up supplies of lotsa goodies and will set sail shortly.
Laz
-

Captain Deb 8)

Oh, Laz, we don't need to go there....like I said, I already have one. I had a good friend that visited there and I asked him to bring me back the gourd for me...you know, so I could be like the prince in Cinderella...the guy that fits is my prince!!!! Unfortunately it is rather large and intimidating and most men won't go near it.
-
Woo Hoo, after much delay, wet or no t shirt sunbaking on the beautiful Oz Gold Coast where the sun shines and the meter maids wear bikinis, the good ship PBW has stocked the galleys and is now looking to stock the toy box so it's journey is south down the east coast. The ship struggles along and isn't helped by the NON sighting of the ships cruise director - one girly whirly wench who hasn't been seen on deck since the CB arrived - doh!
Dr Luuuurrrvvveeee is trying to hide from the parrot who is too chirpie but he is finding it difficult running fast with the walking stick and young Batty wench is seeing ghosts.
Land ahoy squarks Capt Deb, it's Sydney town. On the horizon is a city like no other (except Melbourne). The weather is fantastic all year round, especially with air conditioning, it never rains - thats a bit sad actually coz our dams are at 38% and falling - no decent rain for about 2 years now. Where was I oh yeah and the infamous Kings Cross. A place made for wicked people where pleasure comes cheap and disease is free, shows a plenty and Matti and Mom would feel right at home, although overdressed.
Stay tuned as the good ship PBW wsets sail for the best city on the planet - Melbourne and in the next episode when we discover that the dynamic t shirt duo have been offerred a job at one of the upper class establishments in the cross - upper class!!!!!, did Batty wench clear out all the toys and will the girly catch a breath and surface.
Laz
-
hmmm...we don't need no free diseases! Better change course laz!
No toys for Batty..Phyl's NEVER going to come up for air! :o
-
Laz - Upper class establishments :o...things are looking up for mom and I. Maybe we can finally afford some new t-shirts.
As far as cheap pleasure, not us wenches we are definetly high maintenance.
looking forward to Melbourne
matti

Us wenches doesn't care WHERE we goes in the Land of Oz so longs as we gets ta kidnap that lil hottie Keith Urban and his banjo!!! Hope Mr. Buffett doesn't get all jealous on us!!!

Well, Cap'n Deb sure had her hands full on the ole' Princess Batty Wench this weekend. Had ta train up two lil' swashbuckler blokes in the ways o' the sea and all. Got the big 'un way up the riggin' swingin' from a few halyards and a'wavin' a cutlass or two. He was outta earshot from his Ma so's I taught 'im a few good cusswords as well! The 'lil wee one ain't quite a'walkin' yet and also ain't got no teeth, so the cutlass I gave him ta chew on kept a'fallin' outta his mouth! Good mates they'll be in a few years, sez I!!!! Right surly lil' pirate blokes!
Word is on the old Coconut Telegraph that one o' our own wenches, dear Miss Karla, has shipped out to the land of Far Kal-eee--for-knee-yay ter have the dreaded AYE-KOO-STICK NERR-OWE-MUH scooped outta her head so's she can continue on with our seafarin', swashbucklin', wenchful adventures!!

And here she is, leadin' the most fero-shuss pack o' bloodthirsty pirate wenches and swashbucklers ever to sail the rollin' blue--so they MUST know their stuff---RIGHT??? AM I RIGHT????? And, sez I to 'em right before I let 'em in my noggin, I sez--"While yer in there, tighten up them few loose screws in there and giver a squirt o' WD-40 jus' ter be sure!"
Well, I'm tellin' ya, if them blokes does as gooda job on our wench MISS KARLA as they done on yers truly, she'll be GOOD AS NEW and able ter get back on board The Good Ship Pricess Batty Wench fer more choccie-dippin', plank-walkin', Margarita-drinkin', skin-off-the-bottom-of-yer-feet-dancin' ADVENTURES! She sure ain't done with alla the pillagin' and plunderin' that needs ta be done in the world!!

Hi all, Just thought I should pop in and let you all know I am still here. Having some rough times here...not tumor related. Family issues of the very painful kind. I am still going to Florida. Leave tomorrow and will be back home on the 24th.
My thoughts are with you all.....even when I am scarce. Hugzzzzz, Sherry
-
THERE"S OUR WINDY-WENCH!!!!
Bin missin' ya girly!!! The PBW has been sailin' round in circles without our dear navigator!

On ya Capt Deb ta lift the spirits, the chronologer of this here good ship PBW has been pretty badly struck with that *&*&^%%&^ headache jumbie lately so has lost a little drive so ta speak.
I'll try and pick up but first young parrot head, yas gotto do one o' famous or is it infamous chants and rave - and I don't mean with Dr love either ya wicked wench.
The wee willy dinghy can be named after our cruise director "The girly whirly"
And the good ship PBW which is sailin' towards sunny Melbourne has launched the good dinghy girly whirly to pick up pappa pearl, beanie crazy cat and karla wench with her apprentice miss andrea, to top up the crew following all the choccie munchin by these wacky wenches who at last reports have thrown all the scales overboard rather unceremoniously (gee thats a big word for a pirate).
The dinghy is launched but whats this, there are no crew on it and it starts sailin' east. Captain deb's a sqwarkin everywhere, poops a droppin, feathers a flyin'. the crew are just sitting down with their herscheys bars a munchin and not looking too happy. "I'll give ya motley crew something ta munch about ye lazy vagabonds" yells Capt Deb. In a dramatic move and coz they are only herscheys, Capt Deb orders "All choccie overboard, ya pitiful excuse of a crew, it's scrub tha deck for ye all"
The crew is shell shocked and start ta get the DT's after 5 minutes without the choccie fix.Then there are rumblins amongst tha crew when the cry of "land ahoy" is heard.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out, Will the crew mutiny after all that uneaten choccie was tossed overboard? Will captain Deb grow her feathers again? where will the good dinghy girly whirly end up?

"Girly Whirly--Tender to The Good Ship Princess Batty Wench" it is!!
I hope I can fit all that letterin' on the transom! But then again, big transoms ain't a problem fer us what with alla the choccie we all've been a'munchin' on!!!!
I hope that dinghy gots a good self steerin' system--Papa Pearl and Beanie and Crazycat needs ter be rescued from the Great NEEW INGEL-LAND Flood of 06!!

OOPS!
I forgot the "Anti-Headache Jumbie Chant"
Lesseee...................the last time I was in Haiti consultin' my Voodoo priestess, she taught me this one:
First ye gotsta strip yerself ter the waist and paint this symbol on yer chest in yeller, black and white PAINT-- ;D Make sure it's BIG and can be seen from at least 50 yards away-(I don't know how many Australian feet that is--I heard their feets is different than American feets)
Next, ya gotta smear some Lime Jello in yer hair--Make up at least 4 packages with 1/2 the amount of water so it's nice and thick!!!
Next get yerself a BIG WAD of Used Silly Putty--preferably used by a three year-old so's it's nice and germy. If ya can't find no silly putty, some used chewin' gum will do. Stick this in your "BAD" ear.
So after yer all decorated up just so--
hop around on one foot (the same foot as on the Bad Ear side) and perform the following incantation:
Jiggy Jiggy Doodle-doo!
Arfy Barfy Poodle-poo!
Frippy Frumpy Wicky-wot!
Lumpy Gumpy Snicker-snot!
Keep hoppin' and chantin' untill the jumbie leaves--it could take a few hours.
The jumbie will think you are totally insane (and so will your family so warn them ahead of time) and it will head for the hills!
Good Luck!

I have missed this thread.  ;D ;D

Captain, by any chance are you related to Shel Silverstein???????
-
Whew for a minute there I thought laz was calling beanie a cat...Scarey! Not telling what Princess Beanie would do with that one!
Deb have you seen the childrens books jimmy buffet has written? A must for a we swashbuckler of a captn' granny! (still hard to believe you're a grandma but I bet you're a fun one!)
I just bought a whole mess of silly putty for party favors for my son's surprise birthday party...He's hoping to get his drivers license tomorrow..YIKES!
-
Capt Deb,
Now how many adjectives can I use here - wacky, wild, wicked, mad, insane, mad, insane, mad, insane (I think thats meant to be repetitive).
Thx by the way, I nearly got fired and that was just stripping to the waist - scary thought that is (no six pack here!)
I will have a go at the voodoo chant but I think you'll have to distract the men in white coats from these here shores. If ya don't here from me in a week then send a search party for me (but not those wenches on the good ship PBW - they'd get lost somewhere chasing down a mathew or something or trying to find a news stand.

Well, I just love Shel Silverstein (Someone ate the Baby), Usta have a tape o' his on board my favorite boat and we'd smoke a lil' ....er....ah.........local "tobacco" and listen to it and laugh our butts off--but I haven't read the Buffett books although I have heard of them a'course--wouldn't be a good Parrothead if'n I hadn't! Read alla his grown up stuff except "Salty Piece of Land"
Laz--I'm gonna get you fired YET so you can be a full-time writer. We oughtta print out this entire thread and publish it. We're almost upta 50 pages!!!!

They are very colorful books. The one I saw had something to do with a "Pirate Mon" which of course made me think of you..it also had a cd of the story...a must for a capt deb grandchild!

Mom has volunteered to read to me in the hospital and will read me his books. "Ickle me, Pickle me, Tickle me too, went for a ride in a flying shoe" I also have the newer one "Runny Babbit", and if you haven't read it, you should!!!!!!!! I nearly peed my pants!
-
Good luck to Chris on the driver's license. Battyp... now life gets really fun :-\
Capt. Deb - I think you should seriously consider writing your autobiography/tales of the sea. I know it would be a hit.
-
My best pirate wench buddy, Capt Marge, and I have been talkin' about collaborating on "The Captain's Toenails" for years. (referrs to the fact that we have been painting our port toenails red and our starboard toenails green for years. They correspond with the running lights on a boat and are used as aids to navigation, that is unless you are facing aft, then it gets confusing!)

PS
Havya heard? Our wonderful wenchKARLA will be back aboard in about a week from Kall-Eee-For-Knee-Yay! ;D ;D ;DTime ta plan a HUGE party? Where shall we go? Who shall we invite? What shall we wear? Any suggestions? PLEASE--somewhere warm and sunny!

The sunniest and one of the warmest places on the planet is "The nullabor desert" its about 1000kms of beautiful, succulent red sand where it gets to around 55degress celcius - in faranheight thats mmm, ah, lots! about 145.
Might just be a tad warm fer ya Capt Deb especially with ya rantin and ravin and table top dancin! - no good for wet t shirt comps coz the t shirts don't stay wet fer long. mmm, maybe following a tour of Melbourne, we turn the boat around for a party in Vegas - might catch up with dinghy whirly girly on the way.
-
We wants crystal clear blue warm water and troppy-cal fishies to lerk at! And float in! In them big adult innertubes with umbrellys and drink-holders!
Capt Deb 8)

GOTS LOTSA ALL THAT.
We passed by the great barrier reef. Very relaxing, lots a fish and corals and brolleys and stubbie holders.
The good ship PBW will set sail soon. Just loading up fa more supplies.

Just remember what happens in Vegas..stays in Vegas! :-*

In the abscence of the Cruise Director, who is probably needing an anti headache jumbie chant from the good Captain poet parrot, the good ship PBW is off again, this time down the east coast of the land down under and approaches the shores of melbourne town. The entrance through Port Phillip bay was tottaly uneventful. The ship takes anchor or drops anchor me thinks, and the crew row ashore. Meanwhile, there are reports of a dinghy circling the atlantic ocean speeding through the waves without a pilot.
The hitchhikers guide to sailing suggests that an un captained dinghy is like dangling a piece of belgium chocolate in front of a pirate wench, just outa reach - whoa, what torture.
Melbourne is famous for 2 things.
1. Its sport, and more importantly Australian Rules Football. The main ground is called the MCG and it seats just under 100,000 people. A great spectacle, exciting, fast, guys with six packs and tight shorts (thought I'd throw that in for the wenches).
2. Can't remember, but it will come to me!
Its a family orientated city, with affordable housing, lotsa work, very flat and has a magnificent country side. A place well worth visiting.
Oh yeah, the second item is the weather. Many days can have 4 seasons in one day. particularly in the summer when it can climb to 40 degrees celcius and withing 10 minutes, be 20 degrees.
There are lots of continental food choices and the public transport system works. Come visit, you'll probably end up staying!
Just when we were all getting comfortable, Captain Deb lets loose with a massive and almighty sqwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrk.
Whats wrong asks a very concerned batty wench.
Stay tuned when we discover why the parrot squarked - Did the batteries run out? is the ship sinking, has someone mysteriously boarded the ship?
-
Oh, I'm here, I'm here but deathly afraid of this thread, not knowing where the "author" of our story will have me or what he'll have me doing....... geeze!!!!!!!
BTW, Taylor! I got 2 votes in last night on the phone! Agree with Batty, Kat should have been gone weeks ago and it should have been Chris and Taylor as the final 2!

Just for fun, sometimes I look at Real Estate around the world. For some reason, last night I was visiting Melbourne! I was looking at some condo type things, overlooking some harbor, and it was quite the spaceage building. I think about $400,000 plus change would have gotten me one! I also visited Provance, and American Virgin Islands. Now THAT is where the Capt Deb and the crew ought to go...wow, that estate I saw there was awesome. But that was more like $4 mil plus change!! Can we go, Capt Deb? Huh? Huh/ Pleeeeeeeeaze!! ;D

Three full hours of Sawyer tonight, I should sleep and dream well tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gennysmom,
You wicked wench, those evil thoughts - I dunno, whats we gunnu do with these wenches. I think its time ta get tough and get em all swabbing the deck, or is that scrubbing mmm, getting late and time for bedoire.
Now Sue - no condos here missie, they are called units or apartments if yer been watchin too many American movies! It was probably a suburb called Port melbourne and the harbour is Port Phillip Bay. Port melbourne was a run down dumpy suburb 20 years ago - some yuppie decided it was cool to live there and all of a sudden its a thriving young and modern suburb and ya pay to be there. 20 years ago, a modest 3 bedroom home on a good siz block of land would go for around $40-50,000. Now its 10 -20 times that.

The good ship PBW might have to revisit the choccie sea - now where was that?
But first, we go to Adelaide - soon
hey, just to prove my point on sport being the number one priority in Melbourne. Last night, The Australian soccer team (soccer is rated 4th behind Aussie Rules, Rugby and rugby league, as a sport in this country) in a friendly game against Greece, just over 95,00 people attended the game. Not a bad crowd for a Thursday night. Melbournians turn out in droves for sport.

When I was but a mere lass I saw the movie On The Beach. I was fascinated with Australia ever since then and would love to visit there and also New Zealand. It's fun to visit places via the real estate sites on the Internet...Yeah, I know, I need a life...but sometimes I take a little trip around the world. That place in the Islands was beautiful....an exquisite view of the perfect island cove with all the boats sprinkled across, the town, the mountains. Wow...the sterotypical Caribbean setting. But, I'd still go to anyplace in Australia, if given a chance. And yes, wasn't Lost fun? Now that was Libby, right? who gave Desmond her husband's boat? Hmmmmm. Did John survive whatever happened? I hope so. He actually reminds me of my dad, especially when he was on the crutches, because my dad lost a leg as a boy to Polio and used crutches all of his life.
I'm going to tell you guys something else, that involves New Zealand and my aunt's favorite author. It takes a bit of telling, but stay with me, as this is a GREAT STORY. Do you folks know who Anne Perry is? She is a best selling author who has written many, many books - most especially about the Victorian era..She writes murder mysteries. She has a series of books with Charlotte and Thomas Pitt as her main characters, and another series with William Monk as her main character. My aunt got me to reading her books. She does a great job with her mysteries and really telling you also, what it was like to live in Victorian London. If you enjoy mysteries you might enjoy these books. Anne Perry enjoys setting the stage in strict Victorian surroundings, and then pulling back the curtain to reveal the dark secrets that these people are keeping. It can be a bit slow going, but her richness of characters and setting more than make up for action packed story line. ANYWAY, stay with me here. We saw Anne Perry at a book fair and she signed my aunts book that she bought there and auntie wanted me to find out where she lived in Scotland and blah, blah. So I did some digging around on the Internet and found out she (Anne Perry) is more interesting than my aunt and I thought!! So, have you guys ever seen the movie "Heavenly Creatures"? It was made in the early '90's and was Kate Winslet's first movie. It takes place in NEW ZEALAND. Hang in there, I'm getting to the end of the story!!! This movie is based on a real life story of two teenage girls who murder one of the girls' mother. Kate Winslet played Juliet Hulme, who, after serving 5 years moved back to her native England and later became a best selling author - Anne Perry.(It doesn't say that in the movie, it ends with the murder, but her mother's lover, who she later married, had the last name of Perry.) Yes, she helped to beat her friends mother to death. Isn't that INTERESTING? I thought so. I'd never heard of the movie, so I bought it and my aunt and I watched it. I gave it to her to add to her collection of Anne Perry!! You can go to this site to visit the real and the movie story of Juliet Hulme and Pauline Parker, if you so desire.

Thanks to those who read it all the way to the end. I love to tell this story. :)

Hi Sue,
I have lived in NZ for 15 years (the good ship PBW will visit there coz I would say that it is the most beautiful (scenic) place in the world without a doubt.My wife's a Kiwi) - not the bird Capt DFeb ya parrot head. Kiwi is whts they call New Zealanders. Anyway, it has all of the beauty of the scandenavian firds and stuff, combined with snow covered mountain ranges, a desert , old and new cities.
As for that movie, there was quite a lot of talk about that movie in NZ - I thought the movie was a bit slow but because it was based on a true story, it was quite shocking really.
When browsing through NZ, take a visit to - ah, we wait for the PBW to get there.
Laz

All of us that saw The Lord of the Rings, know how lovely New Zealand is. A scenic wonderland. It wasn't all special effects!! LOL

I sailed with a boatload a' Kiwi gents (pirates) on a leg at Antigua Race Week a few years back (pre-Dr. Love) They was a FINE lot! Way more polite that the Ozzies! More teeth, too. ;D

-
Now Captain sqwarko,
I suppose I gooto agree on the manners bit. as fer the teeth well, how do I say this, nah, I'm not going there at all. Ask Dr Love!!!!!!!!! :-*
Sue, where the bulk of the lord of the rings was shot was a hillside area known as the haywards. I livede not far from there. It's predominately farmland, there is a golf course but its mainly used as a drive through area as a shortcut from one town to another.Most locals take it for granted.
It's a curse to drive through especially if ya get behind a caravan (single lane most of the way). It's very green and picturesque.
Laz
-
You drive on a golf course?
I think you'd be shot in Fl for doing that LOL :P

Whoopsie,
I meant to say that there is a golf course. The haywards are used for a drive through. Slip of the old finger! I've gone mad. Got mad cows disease! ;D

So!!!
Am I destined to follow in her wenchsteps and single-hand this big vessel all by my lonesome? Has my crew abandonned me? Or are they off in the Virgin Islands celebrating "Hurricane Supplication Day"--a national holiday and an excuse to have a few 'Ladas?
I wanna go campin' at Cinnamon Bay with you guys!!! We would have too much fun--an all-Wench campout!!! Well--we COULD bring summa our Blokes if we wanted--dunno if they could handle it. When I go to FL in the winter to party with alla my lady capt friends, Dr. Love is sometimes the token bloke and he loves it!

The good ship PBW has raised her anchor and has just about hit the shores of Adelaide. For those of you that are saying Adelaide? where the hell is that. Well, ya ignorant pirates, in technical terms, picture this great land down under, go to he middle of the country, now go down to the bottom and ya landed in Adelaide.
meanwhile the good dingy girly whirly has hit the shores of Californeeeyyaaaaiiiii and is waiting for karla wench, youngen karla wench and wenchette to hop aboard. How girly whirly found them is anyone's guess. It's a bit ditzy at times our girly whirly dingy. back aboard the good ship PBW, Captain Deb and her band of merry wenches and swashbucklrs are ready to hit the shores when batty wench reports back to Captain about rather mischievous behavious in this here town called Adelaide. capt Deb is bemused as Adelaide is regarded as the City of Churches. What is it batty Wench who is becoming rather distraught, and this is evident by the toy she's holding shaking about and it's not even switched on!
Stay tuned when we find out - Has batty wench broken her toys? Will the good dingy find its way back to the good ship PBW, What's in store in the city of churches?

So our dear Laz is off to yet another witch doctor!! Actually a wich doctor would probably do him more good! We are all gunnu be dancin' and chantin' fer ya during yer appointment! Contacted my gal in Haiti for this one and she says it's a sure winner for Laz's Jumbie!
Ready Wenches?
Here we go!
First, we gotta strip down to the leopard thongs.
Then we gotta mix up the goo! Recipe is:
One quart Lo-fat mayonnaise
One quart 30 weight motor oil
2 Tablespoons purple fingerpaint(the washable kind)
3 boxes Kellogg's Corn Flakes (for texture)
Mix all this stuff up in your favorite hand-carved wooden bowl (you will hafta chuck it afterword, buy HEY it's for our LAZ!)
Smear it on alla the not-covered-by-the-thong-places.
Place your favorite shower cutain on the ground in front of your house.
Next, cut open your favorite expensive down pillow and shake the contents onto the shower curtain. Spread the feathers evely.
Now lay down in the feathers and roll around to create an even coat of feathers.
This MUST be done in your front yard--if you live in an apartment, you will have to go to the nearest public park--the headache jumbie is enourmously attracted to public insanity.
Now start dancing around in a circle--those of you who have recovered enough balance may want to spin if possible--those who are still wobblin' can just circle and hop a little.
Now--the CHANT!!
Ickle Pickle Bumpy-dump!
Limpy Gimpy Doozle-doo!
Oozle-boozle Humpy-rump!
Ippy-dippy Moo! Moo! Moo!
[/b]
We must get the timing right! Laz, what time is yer appt in American time? If it's the middle of the night we will all ned to rig floodlights and loudspeakers to wake up the neighbors as this needs an audience.
Good Luck everyone!

Speakin' o' chruches, back in me drinkin' days, I was gifted with this fabulous flask! It had a little chain that attached the cap to the neck of the bottle! When I was drinkin' in church and dropped the cap, I no longer had to crawl under the pews ter fetch it when it rolled onto the floor! Great invention, huh!!!

Okay, you guys...after reading some of the Good Morning thread, the phrase, "to sail the Chocolate Seas..." came to mind and I couldn't get rid of it, so I came up with this, with the help of The Owl and The *****cat. (oh, for heaven's sake, they think this is a bad word! It's a CHILDREN'S CLASSIC NONSENSE POEM!!)  I was going to get the island in Lost and Sawyer involved and somehow make a better pun of party with a purpose/porpoise...but I guess I wasn't clever enough. But, hey...I tried!! :D Captain Deb, maybe you can make this better!!
With profound apologies to Edward Lear, author of above said poem.
          ÂÂ
Deb and Laz and Pearly Girl,
Set sail for the Chocolate Seas,
They took the crew,
And plenty of brew,
To make the trip with ease.
A rollicking time was had by all,
And Deb was heard to say,
What a wonderful crew I have,
I have, I have,
What a wonderful crew I have.
But storms came and went,
The crew was all spent,
But, Captain, she had a fine thought,
“Let’s go Down Under
To Pillage and Plunder,
From there a new course we’ll plot.�
They sailed away,
With a cheer and hooray,
To the land of the billabong tree,
But they saw a motion, and there on the ocean
A porpoise was grinning with glee,
With glee, with glee,
A porpose was grinning with glee.
“I’ve heard of your ship,
And your wonderful trip,
Your quest for the Chocolate Sea,
So Wenches and Pirates,
I’ll be your pilot,
And waive my standard fee.�
The porpoise led, straight ahead,
To the secret place he knew,
Then they were there,
With chocolate everywhere,
And the porpoise partied with the crew,
The crew, the crew,
And the porpoise partied with the crew.

BOY!
What a beeeee-oooo-teeee-fuuuul mornin'! Big poofy clouds, gentle breeze, bout 70 degrees, soft painter's light, and now a wonderful sea chanty from Sue to make me grin and grin and giggle! Life is GOOD! ;D

Perhaps, dear Capt Deb, you might consider painting a wonderful tall ship sailing on the Chocolate Sea, with a porpoise or three frolicking about, and chunks of white chocolate could be the ice bergs...or??? I can see it, but you have to paint it!! Or Larry, you write the children's book and Deb can illustrate it. I'll just take credit for thinking up all the work I want you guys to do!!
It was a wonderful morning with blue skys and grey clouds and it's still wonderful in the Pacific Nortwest even though the grey clouds thickened up and it is raining. It has been quite humid these past few days, and it made me feel like I was back in Hawaii - minus the trade winds. My son's friend came to visit from Greeley, Colorado and he brought his two little girls. They said to him, "Daddy, why is the grass so green?" They don't get a lot of rain in Greeley, Colorado.

Great Poem Sue!
Funny chant Captn' Deb...I prefer to do mine at an all male populated area like hmm...maybe the soccer(football) stadium laz mentioned LOL Maybe I'll get lucky? LOL :-*

I bet you ABSOLUTELY get lucky--you know who much guys like mayonaise, not to mention motor oil!
Capt Deb
-
OK Ya Wenches and Seafarin' Swashbucklers!
Captain Deb has emerged from her cabin and waddled up on deck to see what the heck's goin' on! Are we there yet? Is that beeee-oooo-teeee-fuuul crystal blue water I see? An white sugar-sand beaches with gently swaying palm trees? And Rasta music wafting down off the mountainside along with the smell of frangipani, ganja, rum, and stew goat? Am I dreaming or are we cruising downwind through Sir Francis Drake Channel, somewhere between Tortola and East End, St. John?
I really HOPE so, cuz anyone who hasn't been there don't know where heaven is!
AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A pirate's life for me!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
It all sounds great to me ;D  (except for the stew goat) I am still drooling over the "Flippin" chocolate cake you made for Dr. Love
-
The World's Best Choccie Cake Recipe is public domain. It is on the box of Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa powder, and so is the icing. The trick is to slightly underbake the cake and put on 2 coats of icing, refridgerating between coats, a la Martha.
Go ahead
Pig out
you're still alive to enjoy it!

My step-mom got a cat at a garage sale...a lovely part siamese with pretty blue eyes and a calico coat....her name was Ganja. We couldn't figure out how she got that name or what it even meant. We didn't know.. It wasn't until much later that we found out what Ganja means. Too late to changer her name.!!

I laughed my butt of at that one! A boat I worked on had a cat named Doobie but it was spelled Dubhe which is one of the stars in the constellation Ursa Major. That was the name of the boat!
The dinghy was called Ursa Minor. We used to catch these itty bitty fishies with a hand line which we kept in the chart table drawer and every time the drawer was opened she went bananas cuz it meant a fish for her to play with then devour on this huge fordeck of the 85 foot wood boat! Great memory. Thanks, Sue!

OK--still cravin' West Indian food!
For Dr. Love's birthday, 3 years pre-AN, I threw his a** on a sailboat along with 2 of my bestest sailin' wench girlfriends and dragged him to a little island called Anegada. It lies north of Virgin Gorda and is surrounded by a HUGE coral reef, which keeps the novice sailors away (or it USED to--they wised up and marked the coral-head studded channel so tourists can sail there without crashing their shiney new rented boats) We radioed in our lobster reservations to Neptune's Treasure restaurant (there are two on the island) When we got there they had decorated up our table with balloons and a big "Happy Birthday Eric" sign which still hangs in my studio. We had the world's best conch fritters and then they brought out 3 incredible fresh grilled West Indian lobsters. Erics was HUGE and the feelers overhung the gigantic platter it was served on by a foot.
Earlier that day, while "folicking" on the 5 mile long completely deserted north shore beach, Dr. Love and I discovered a lobster carapace that was at least a foot wide, meaning that the old granddaddy lobster who used to own it had to be at least 20 pounds and 3 feet long from feeler to tail. The Anegadan fishermen go out in rowboats, mostly, and hand catch these big suckers with a mask and snorkle. They bring them back kicking and screaming and put them in a big pen, built next to the dinghy dock till suppertime, and they are lots of fun to watch. As the sun starts to sink and the rum comes out, the fishermen start this big driftwood fire and spread the coals out smooth when it dies down. Then they whip out this big homemade grill thing, prop it up on cinderblocks on the corners, and throw on the lobsters. You feel real sorry for 'em DYIN" like that, till you have your first BITE and then you are sorry no more!
Lobster with lots of lime and butter, rice and peas, fried plantains, a little bowl of kalaloo, homemade mango ice cream for dessert! Then we proceeded to dance all the skin offa the bottoms of our feet to a rockin' little steel band.
That was probably the best meal of my entire life and I thought I'd share it with you! ;D
Love, Capt Deb 8)

Bruce,
I never did get to the Western Caribbean much, but my big brother smuggled a Margay Tiger back through customs from Costa Rica into the Virgin Islands 1972! I have lots of friends who love Costa Rica and it is one of the places I'd love to visit. Sousops are great if you can get past the seeds. A lady on the west end (Fredericksted) of St. Croix named Miss Mary used to make these drinks called Fantails out of soursop juice, 151 rum, coconut water, and who knows what other kind of "bush medicine"--whatta buzz! And flavor!
Guess I'm missin' the islands!

Ok, Captain Deb, try this un for size!
The good ship PBW sets sail around the bottom (otherwise known as the a*** end) of the land down under and head toward Adelaide - the city of churches. As the anchor is chucked over the side, the lookout (my surgeon!) yells, "enemy ship approaching". Captain deb, puts on her pirate hat, and tries giving instructions to the crew in squarkeeeze but none of the wenches can understand her. Captain Deb then makes a decision to load the cannons herself, but has Captain deb gone mad (er) ? she loads the cannons with the gallies supply of jaffas.(small balls of chocolate covered in orange lollie - yum). She lights the cannon and fires on the enemy ship. Kasplat (as they say in batmanese). But as the thousands of jaffas approach the enemy ship, the lookout says - whoops, made a mistake its the dingy girly whirly.
Wench karla and Andrea are on board and are about to be consumed by a fistful of jaffas. Luckily for the incumbent wenches, Captain Deb's aim was off and the wenches survived the attack.
Meanwhile, the crew on board the good ship PBW row ashore to enjoy this great city. Captain Deb leads the walk through the city and discovers a number of underground restaraunts. As the crew is feeling rather peckish after Captain Deb released the entire stock of chocolate, the swashbucklers were rathjer attentive in this restaraunt as it was topless. Not even a T shirt to be seen (bad luck Mom and matti wench). It's true, loads and loads of restaraunts are topless, the problem is that these places are all underground and too many goosebumps a flying everywhere.
The wenches weren't very impressed so they left to go to this suburb called Norwood. Now, Norwood is famous for its Pie Cart. Why is this? well, Captain Deb, your stomach pains are over. You have to try the traditional Pie Floater. This is a meat pie smothered in vinegar and tomato sauce (ketchup), floatinmg on top of a thick green bowl of pea soup. Let me tell all of you wannabe pirates, you can only try this if you have had one or thirty and then it dopesn't want to stay in your body for too long.
After devouring the pie floaters, a mass outbreak of dissentry through the PBW has onset the crew but never mind, coz the chronologer (otherwise known as rubber guts) has taken the vrew to one of the finest winery locations in the world. Its called the Barrosa Valley. Many fine reds have been consumed here and the crew has not been disappointed at all.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out whether the pie floater has completely destroyed Captain Deb's stomach, will the good dingy girly whirly stop spinning in time for the encumbent wenches to actually board the good ship PBW. Will the good ship PBW ever get out of the a*** end of the Indian Ocean?
-
I just got fatter reading that!!!!!!! :o ;D :D
Great port-o'-call! Hope my passport doesn't expire!
-
Well, THAT was a fun trip. Thanks for the great stories, real and imagined! I think a little to the left of where Larry took us, must be where the Chocolate Sea is.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.........................................PIE FLOATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW only 1500 or so more posts(can't subtract--math nerve severed during surgery) onboard this ship and we'll have us 10,000 and the powers that be here will have to make a bigger "number of posts" box for us here Blokes and Wenches! A world's record of insanity and giggles!
Yo-Ho-Ho!!!

*looks around*
who's insane?
*looks at self*
Yep! ;D
-
The good ship PBW sets sail from the fine city of churches and runs aground.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out: who is really SANE? Has Capt deb turned into a blonde? (apologies to all blondes) will the men in white coats finally take the chronologer away?
-
*spits morning coffee after reading Laz's last entry*
You owe me a new computer monitor! ;D

I gotto say, I started out to write a whole lota crap like usual but then got a "can't be bothered" moment. Actually, in a perverse sorta way, I had to laugh when reading it. It sounds better if ya read it quickly. It's a guy thing!
Sorry abouit ya monitor girly - now ya can get a flat screen!
Laz
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't be bothered! CAN'T BE BOTHERED??? Geeeeesh! Who the heck do ya think ya are?? LAZ! As ship's chronologer and keeper of the SHIP'S LOG, you GOTTA be bothered!! You are the master-at-arms as well! How'm I gonna keep alla these WENCHES in line without ya, mate? They'll run AMUCK!!! Not to mention AGROUND!! Oh, you did mention aground! In alla my 40 years on the SEA (count'em.....FOURTY!!) this seafarin, swashbucklin, salty wench ain't NEVER RUN AGROUND!!! Well, okay there was that time at the Last Resort in Trellis Bay just off the east end of Tortola, but it was a DINGHY!! And it was the PUSSER'S fault! Somebody had lost the CAP offa the damn bottle and we hadda finish it or spill it all over the place, and whatta waste of perfectly good RUM!!! AND it was really really DARK!!!
And where is the CAKES anyhoo? She be the wench who started this dang thread and haven't heard from her in a while. She is AWOL and we KEELHAUL Awolers on this here sailin' vessel!!! She's probably off in Toledo again, restockin' her wenchwear. Hope she dint already outgrow the last batch!
That's all I gotta say about THAT!!!
Capt Deb
-
Stop ya squarkin ya parrot.
Me thinks the Captain's bin hittin the wineries again!
Looks like we'll have ta get all of the crew out ta push start this here ship. Get the crank out, attach the jump starters, Batty, we need all ya batteries from ya toys coz, the good ship PBW has run outa batteries. - Who's been drainin" the batteries? who's been gettin up ta no good here? Is there a plot a comin? are there aliens at work? -stay tuned coz "The truth is out there"
-
Actually, there is a technique called "kedging" to get offa the "hard" as they call it (shut UP, Laz)
First, ya raise yer mains'l. Ya puts someone inta the dinghy and ya lower the anchor to 'em. Then they has ta ROW out a little ways usually to leeward and off the beam, and drop it. The alla the available Wenches gotsta PULL real hard on the anchor rode (shut UP, Laz) and cleat it off. Then ya get to do it again and again and again (shut UP, Laz)till her keel breaks free, ya sheet in the main, and off we go sailin again. Ain't you impressed? ;D
Capt Deb 8)
-
Laz sits at puter, lips sealed under threat from da Captain (but sniggling in the background) I'm amazed that Dr Love can walk with you around Capt Deb!
Actually very impressed - your typing was straight from google! - Laz, quickly gets up from desk and hides in closet for fear of thunderous retribution (big word for bean counter).
One problem with your explanation - our dinghy girly whirly is still circling the boat - tis a bit tipsy our little dinghy.
Laz
-
you all are nuts! ;D Don't be claiming former/current AN's or dr's notes as excuses either! :)

Pirate Wench Aids to Navigation
(note port and starboard toenails)
Just thought I'd post a photo of what there was for navigation till some genius thought up GPS! These feet went well with our pink oars, which was how we found 'em in the stack of other pirates oars by the barroom palm tree (I was gonna say barroom door, but the bars down there ain't got no stinkin' doors!!)
By the way the girly whirly dinghy thingy has oars instead of a sissy-a** ENGINE right? Or does it run on Pixie Dust?
Capt Deb 8)

Your last post explains everything Captain Deb!!!!!!!

HEY WENCHES!!!
Was watchin' the FIFA world Cup Soccer terday and I sez to meslf BOY!!! Those Croatian blokes sure is CUTE!! A flippin' eye dessert smorgasbord!! And LOTS of 'em!!All runnin' around on this big green field all SWEATY and Glistenin' and all! Meself, I had me a Croatian Boyfriend back in me Aspen days and he was real cute, too! Pretty yeller hair and green eyes!
Then I sez to meself, wonder if they'd like ta take a cruise on The Good Ship Princess Batty Wench? Then I remembered..........................we is PIRATES I sez! We takes what we WANTS I sez. We don't need NO ONES permission!!! Plunderin' be our MOTTO!! Them Croatian Blokes jus' needs ter be flippin' KIDNAPPED right outta where ever it is they're a'playin!
Whaddaya think, wenches? Eleven plus yeller-haired, green-eyed, glistenin' cute-as-all-gettout blokes who probably don't speak no English so's they can't sass us!! ::)
Yikes!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, MASTER LAZ!!!!!!

I says let's take em and make em get our dingy a moving again! They can use those big glistening muscles to help the damsals in distress...that way I get to save my batteries! :-*
-
Hey Captain Deb,
Thx for the fathers day neon leon lighting message across the screen - ah, just coz its fathers day in September down under doesn't matter - I'll take it as a down payment!
Now what a cunning plan to kidnap the Croation soccer team. Australia only needs a draw against 'em to go throght to the next round. If ya kidnap 'em, they will have to lay their second string team!
Small detail - The good ship PBW is in the Indian ocean and the girly whirly dinghy is still circling so don't think we will get there. Except if the parrotheads mount a flying sortie to Munich!
Laz
-
I'm thinking we need to get the good ship PBW back on course, us wenches have been a little tame as of late. We need to pick up mom wherever she is ??? ???
I'm with BattyP, I say we take em and I especially like the fact that there will be no sassing back. I think the good ship PBW needs to invest in rechargeable batteries
-
Rechargeable batteries huh? That's Batty wench's department.
The good ship will set sail soon. Gots to get to Perth first before we hit them islands where captain deb and the girly whirly will run riot!
Laz
-
Can't you just go grab Tinkerbell, sprinkle some fairy dust, and just fly on over to Europe?? I mean, really, guys....use your imagination!! If it's good enough for Peter Pan...
-
Now listen here Sue wench.
There be no Peter Pan, twinkle, twinkle little star or the like on this here the good ship PBW. This be a pirate ship with mean swashbucklers and wenches that'd skin yer alive if given the chance (especially fer some Beligium chocolate).
Once tyhe wenches (the chronologer is not sexist) pushes and pulls the good ship PBW from the sandbank, we will set sail again in search of the Freemantle Doctor.
Come on ye wenches puuuuuuussshhhhh!
-
Master Laz,
Well if it'll make ya happy I s'pose we could kidnap the entire Croatian Soccer Team, second-string and all! The coach, too--he's a REAL cutie. Plus, I think these Wayward Wenches will need a second string!! A back up for when we wear out the first team!! They's a purty lusty bunch, these Plunderin', Pillagin' Pirate Wenches of The Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench!! And we's all been havin' a kinda rough time of it with these stinkin' ANs and their aftereffects. We needs a DIVERSION, sez I!!
We needs:
1. Glistenin' Croatian Cuties :-*
2. Brelly Drinks ;)
3. Smooth Seas :D
4. Fair Winds Abaft the Beam ;D
5. A Li' Really Good Dark Choccie! ::)
Captain Deb
-
Laz why can't we have men in tights with fairy dust? Sounds like a winner to me....I once got a pic of a pirate from disney in spandex and he was a sight to behold LOL Def. made me go yo ho ho... :-*
-
Wooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
Man overboard - The chronologer has imposed a self inflicted walking of the plank. These here wenches are toooooooooooooo raunchy and wayward. Unfortunately, these here wenches have been eating too much chocolate and can't push the good ship PBW offa da sandbank so poor Laz has dived straight into the sandbank head first.
Don't worry laz yells, can't feel the head no more anyway!
After that bit of sidetracking, Captain Deb, trying to think of a way to get the ship moving again starts flapping her wings and all of a sudden, the sky turns dark and above the sails flies a flock of parrots. The leader of the flock comes swooping down to Captian Deb and squarks in her ear. Captain Deb lets out an almighty aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk and gives the order to raise the anchor!!! Good one Captain (sorry, gots ta pick on someone). The good ship PBW starts to move again and sets sail for the west coast of Australia (no Croatian soccer team here) and like in a flash, the weather has turned to stinking hot. The PBW has arrived in Perth which is a beautiful city with parks and gardens and lots of lakes and the mighty Swan river. The crew are finding the temperature rather stifling at 40 degreec C but then the Freemantle Doctor arrives. The FD is actually a cool breeze that sweeps the city and brings the temp down to a manageble 20 degrees C.
Well, as the chronologer has never visited Perth, so can't really describe it (refer to your Funk and Wagnells).
The good ship PBW is now off to the wider blue seas in search of the Croatian soccer team.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out - Are those flying parrots friend or foe? Which toy will Batty wench present to the Croatian soccer team? whats happenned to the girly whirly dinghy?
-
Hey Laz - I will be in Seattle on the 10th of September, stopping by for a visit (not a wet t-shirt contest) with "mom".  Looking forward to meeting you as well, hope we can arrange it.
Happy to see we are back on the high seas, not a good thing to have restless wenches lurking about ;)
-
Gee, Larry, I know this is supposed to be a serious pirate tale and all, but I can't help picturing it more like a musical or a Gilbert and Sullivan Pirates of Penzance kind of thing. Any minute now, the lusty wenches are going to be breaking into song.
On another note, just found out today that our mall, once known as Vancouver Mall, is owned by Aussies. Westfield Shoppingtown. Guess they are all over the place. Somebody today said she visited the one in Sydney and that it was beautiful.

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Wenches!
I just found my old music partner's newly remodeled website! http://www.beansmusic.com/ Now, Michael Bean is a dead ringer for Johnny Depp and a pirate as well, not to mention ferociuosly talented and writes his own music and all. I played flute on a few songs on the "Bluenose" CD which you'll find on the website. We played music together for years in the VI and used to do a cruising tour by boat, playing gigs all over the US and BVI. Hired us a big party boat and would pull up stern to the dock and make the stern of the boat into the stage! The last time I saw him was at Norman Island in the BVI (British Virgin Islands, the Happiest Place on Earth) and we hadn't seen each other since Hurricane Hugo made me a refugee.
If ya wanna hear some bona-fide rockin' pirate music, I think you can hear some tunes on the site. His CD's are awesome and have some really funny songs with great lyrics.
Hope you enjoy!

Matti,
Just waiting to see what my itinery is looking like on the 10th so would be great to catch up. I'll get my people to contact your people, 38 lawyers and we'll discuss a meeting time!!! - bring out those men in white coats again!
No gilligans island approach to these here wenches Sue, they are mean as they come, I mean to say, the armory is full of fluffy handcuffs and whips and.. well, battery run thingies (Batty has the full list). And they are led by the Queen parrothead herself - Captain Deb - youse don't wanna gets on the wrong side of those feathers.

Okay, I shall readjust my thinking and consider these ladies the Scourge of the High Seas, a title befit the Captain and her crew. But on a clear, calm night, I think I can hear the Cap't softly singing this little refrain....
I am the Captain with a pinafore,
And a mean ole Captain am I,
I send my crew into rough high seas,
But they nary blink an eye.
The crew is the meanest crew I know,
Strong and tough as nails,
We've sailed all over the high seas,
From New Zealand clear to Wales.
Ahoy, ahoy, my fine Pirate lasses,
Our next destination is clear,
Those soccer lads will be all ours,
Of that I have no fear.
So hoist the jib and mainsail,
And all that pirate talk,
We're all set to sail away,
And the parrot said AAAAAAWWWWWWWWKKKKKKK. ;D
-
Quite clearly Sue you have missed ya calling in life!
I think we'll have to send the men in white coats round to yer place next!
Now, the good ship PBW closely followed by the good dinghy girly whirly, which is circling at break neck speed, is now powering up the west coast of the land down under and heading towards Europe (we think). Captain Deb has been confined to quarters by order of Doctor Love, Batty's toys have run outa batteries and she has the DT's and the rest of the crew have drunk to much Bundy. Now Bundy is not the Al bundy version, it's a local Rum (Bundaberg rum) that is rather popular in Oz and a large shipment has made it's way on board.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we ask: Will captain Deb surface? Will the wenches be able to handle the Croatian soccer team? where will batty's batteries come from?
-
*sits back with morning coffee, wondering where the dinghy is going to go*
BTW, happy winter solstice, Laz! Brrrrrrrrrrrr!
xox
-
It is feeeeeeezzzzziiiiiiin nnnnngggggg. It gets really cold at night which is rather strange for Sydney - global warming - reah right!
The good dinghy girly whirly is flying around doing circle work crossing oceans with ease. It's got warp power coz its been zapped with radiation and it now has all these extra powers.
Laz
-
Extra powers....hope batty's toys got radiated too :o

Hey, the mighty land down under drew with Croatia meaning we get through to the next round. woo hoo
okey dokey, as it is Friday afternoon we here at my work are gunnu (good ozie slang) get us some rum down the local inn - or beer at the pub, depending on which eye ye have yer patch.
The good ship PBW is on its way to Germany and is rocketing away with lotsa pedal power from the wench crew.
Stay tuned for lots of adventure, passion (mmmm) and excitement as this here mtley crew try and navigate from the bottom of the planet up a bit and to the left to Germany.

It's bee 8 days since the PBW has been seen, and I'm sending out a search crew!!! As I was in Germany 8 days ago, and didn't see any sign of it there, I'm guessing it got lost in the Bermuda Triangle on the way. BTW, many cute football blokes in Germany. And had Black Forest Cake, not German Chocolate.
Where could the mighty PBW be????? I did see a scrap of leopard print as I was flying over the Atlantic at Greenland, my hope is that it made it on to Iceland, and the wenches are resting quietly in the thermal pools that surround the island. Need to stay warm, no icicles hanging off the wet t-shirts!!!!!!!!!!
-
well, we's had over 10,000 views o' this here insanity!
capt deb continues to languish in sick bay, being waited on hand and foot by croatian footballers, johnny, keith, dr. love, and laz,whilst alla the rest o' the wenches run amuck at the helm o' the goode ship princess batty wench--LORD knows where we'll end up! anywhere but aground, i sez!!

Coast guards, the U.S navy and air force and a flock of parakeets have been sent out to look for the good ship PBW which has been lost at sea ever since the Captain Parrot admitted herself to sick bay. Bones where are ya?: (Bones was the doctor aboard the first Enterprise).
We've spotted her , there she is, the Good ship PBW has been capsized and is circling upside down in the sea of chocolate off the belgium coast. In an instant some large squarks from the air and the parakeets desend and with a unified movement, tip the ship upright.
Dang, Blast, who did that? are cries from the wenches who have all put on about 5 stone after being immmersed in chocolate for the last 8 days.
The crew now feeling a tad dizzy after being put upright (much more comfortable being upside down) are now drying out and have been set in motion towards Munich.
Stay tuned when we find out what's in store for the crew in hamburg.
-
We need to be heading to Seattle, as the good ship PBW needs to be with gennysmom. I heard the capt call the orders from sick bay, and all wenches are on deck!!
-
Yes, come to Seattle....I still have stacks of chocolate here. 5 stone is about right!!!!! Anyone ever tried making a hot fudge mashed potato sundae? I'm thinking about now that sounds good. It won't be hard to find me here, I'm decked out head to toe in leopard print and pink girly pirate wear. And waving my PBW flag!!!!!!! Just turn right at Puget Sound and follow yer nose to Seattle....with that silly space needle, you can't miss it!!!!!!!!!!
-
Hey, don't knock da space needle - I'll be there in 2 months and 3 days (but who's counting)
If the good ship PBW can stop spinning in circles it might actually get somewhere. Maybe the front half goes to Munich and the back half to Seattle? or, everyone in the good dinghy girly whirly - where ya end up is anyone's guess!
This chronologer is off to bed as it's a hair past a freckle and one needs their beauty sleep (need about 30 years I guess).
Laz re-opens eyes with toothpick so he can find mouse to click goodnight!
-
I'm counting too!!!! Can't wait to see you!!!! All us wenches up here are getting ready for your arrival (plus the special CA wench!)!!!!!! We all want to know if you'll be dressed up as a Klingon or something....Khan, you can dress up as Khan, never really liked Ricardo, but loved Khan.
-
So what all are you guys going to do in Seattle?? Tour the area, go to the Market, eat at some mighty fine restaurants, visit all the cute little towns nearby (La Conner, Poulsbo, Friday Harbor..),sail Lake Washington, visit Starbuck headquarters, go visit Bill Gates....what? what? Curious (and nosey) minds want to know!!
Sue
Vancouver
-
Well, since Larry's actually coming for the Star Trek convention and not us....(I know, he'd rather be with mom, bro, and Captain James!!!) we're working around his schedule....and since they closed Fantasy Ltd. at the corner of the market, I just don't know what we'll do! Sue, you're close enough, you should come join us!!!!! We'll probably just find Larry in Seattle somewhere and get some coffee and grub!!!!!!!!!
-
So not Starbuck - but Star Trek! Cool.
You are not going to believe this, but I have been to the Star Trek convenion here in Portland. I have James Doohan's (Scotty) autographed photo. Also the actor who played Spock's father was there. Both have gone to Star Trek heaven. My son and I went. We had fun. No, I didn't dress up or anything like that. Not quite THAT into it. But it was fun and I'm glad I went. In fact, I think I went to two of them. But, Seattle will be a big one and draw some of the bigger names like Leonard Nemoy. Don't know if William Shatner still shows up at these. They are good sports to put up with the Star Trekkers for all these many years. Talk about a loyal fan base!! Yeah, I'm a fan. If you see this Larry, have fun. Say hi to Spock for me, if he is there. (my favorite along with Scotty) When is this happening? You never know, maybe I can drive up. If I wouldn't be too terrified to drive in Seattle traffic that is. That would be fun. We can all sit around the table, saying things like, What? Huh? Would you mind repeating that? What'd he say? What'd she say? ;D
-
I am counting down too, and have all my reservations made ;D  I would love to meet you Sue, please, please join us. Sunday, Sept. 10th is what we have scheduled.
Cheryl
-
Ha' DoS Seattle
Translated - Let's go target Seattle - woo hoo - counting down.
The star Trek convention is secondary to my visit - really coming to judge a wet t shirt competition! ;D
I have an itinery somewhere - I'll dig it up and we'll firm up on catching up. Seating arrangements will have to be a strategic process.
laz
-
And thanks to Laz I already have the t-shirt!!!!!! Just over two months!!! Yea!!!! That's enough time for me to get my crap together after tomorrow!!!!
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trekkies, Parrotheads, starbuckies, wet t-shirt contests!
In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird--now the world is weird and they take Prozac to make it look normal!
Capt Deb 8)
wishing she could take the arm surgery money and buy a plane ticket to Seattle in September!
-
Sell me a painting an you might just make it!!!! Yeah, really, you could buy a lifetime round ticket pass to Seattle on that!!!! Seriously though, if I could make it down to see them in person, you'd probably have a sale!!! It's on my list!!!!
-
OMG, he even knows Klingon! Now, I'm really impressed.
I wrote it on the calendar. Who knows, maybe I can figure out a way to get there.
Sue
-
Sue,
Unless you learn Klingon, you will not be able to trade on the intergalactic market!
Laz gets really nervous coz thiose men in white coats are approaching - runs for the hills!
Laz has sent a search party to find the good ship PBW - last seen with a one winged parrot at the helm!
-
Klingon E-Bay?? Or Federation E-Bay? Well, why not.
Have you seen Galaxy Quest with Tim Allen? I thought it was hilarious.
Yep, our fearless captain has had her wings clipped. Hopefully she is on the mend and will be back at the helm soon. She probably ran off to see the premier of Pirates of the Carribean: Dead's Man Chest. Luv that Johnny Depp.
-
capt deb is stll here and her thoughts are all on our dear first mate, gennysmom, today. calling n all the pirate gods and godesses to blow the wind in her favor, to smooth out the seas and to steady the hand of her surgeon today.
capt deb
-
I'll drink to that
Laz
-
What's up with Seattle? I haven't been following this thread but decided that I must be missing something with 56 pages of comments! With the ANers on this site from around Seattle, Laz and more we should be able to have some sort of get together. Count me in! Gennysmom should good to go by then. (So happy to hear that her surgery went well.)
Anyway, Seattle is my turf, so I would be happy to help plan a meeting place.
Janet
-
I wanna go to seattle too!
My brother lives out there ;D
Janet what part of seattle are you in? Funny everyone says seattle but he's really in federal way.

Capt Deb 8)

As captain Deb relives her childhood and plays dress ups, the good ship PBW has been returned to active duty and begins its journey to, now let's see, where shall we head. Can't go to Germany coz the world cup has finished and all the boys have returned to their homes - never mind Batty, we'll find someone fer ya.
The PBW is now overladen with wenches, swashbucklers, chocolate and reject shop jewellry to the point that Captain Squark here has tied herself in knots with necklaces in the shape of crossbones. Dr Luuuurrrvvveee is loving it/her, whatever!
Can't move captain Deb cries out. Immediately, the wenches look, laugh and turn about getting on with lunch.
I'll remember you wicked wenches, yells the parrot but before she can say, "one eared ibrobruphen" she is picked up by some of the scarry eyed wenches and thrown overboard - no ceremony, nothing.
As Captain Deb was hurling towards the open sea, her life started flashing in front of her - no it wasn't, it was Dr Love doing the flashing. He threw himself overboard as a protest- not that anyone was interested but hey love is blind they say.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we discover if Captain Deb and Dr Love have been eaten for lunch by the 50 sharkes circling the boat? why did the wenches throw Captain Deb overboard and what did captain Deb think of the flash.
-
I'm up to page 6 (catching up on this thread) and finally know what PBW stands for! Never been on a cruise and I had no idea what I have been missing.
-
Throw the life rings!!!!!!!!! Your mutiny is inexcusable!!!!!!!!! Save Capt Deb! She can't swim with one arm and it ain't a pretty sight! Man the lifeboats! Pirate wench overboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o :'( I don't have a driver's license for this floating party!!!!!!! Someone HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Janet - The early pages of this thread are rather tame. Proceed with caution :o ;)
Cheryl ÂÂ

Jeopardy is clearly shown,
Capt. Deb was overthrown,
Sharks are coming ever near,
Panic rises, then the fear.
Dr. Luv is swift and brave,
He swims - and Capt Deb he'll save,
She'll fall into his arms so strong,
And wonder why he took so long!
;D
-
Lee,
There are copius amounts of threads re gamma and cyberknife treatments - best to do a search and read those.

Arrrr Sue, a poet ya might be,

Laz

As capt Deb approaches the shark infested seas, by some miracle, the good dinghy girly whirly suddenly appears and Capt Deb and Dr Luuurrrvvveee fall into it.
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR a miracle this be. And Dr Luuurrvvveee was that really you on the downward spiral towards the sea? Coitanly was Captain - lotsa pash now - (enough of that).
Attention is now drawn onto the mutineering wenches and Captain Deb steers the dinghy girly whirly out of sight of the good ship PBW and plots the next course of action.
Will Capt Deb seek revenge on the wicked wenches?: are the wenches possessed by the chocolate demon? who has taken over command of the good ship PBW? - Stay tuned
-
This is kind of like those Saturday Matinee movie serials. The Perils of Pauline and such. Gee I can't wait to see what will happen next!!

Who's supplying the popcorn?

Also I'm a'goin' ter see "Pirates of the Caribbean--My Life Story" this afternoon with my Dr. LLLUUURRRVE so's we hafta dry off a bit and get into our best pirate finery!!
Captain Deb 8)
a' trying to get the swash back inta her buckle!
-
With the wicked wenches not having any wings on the steering wheel, they suddenlyu put the brakes on the ship (factory fitted accessory) and hear a thud at the back. Thats right, the good dinghy girly whirly rams into the good ship PBW's tuchus (ah, rear end). Captain Deb and Dr L were a bit shaken. That is, they were shaken, and rollin. woah, censor please. Anyway, the wenches hoist Captain Deb and Dr L up onto the ship and apologise prefusely.
Huggles and kissles (kissles?) and all is forgiven. The wenches inform the one winged Captain of the news of the day and demand her to steer the ship to the northern hemisphere to pick up the cheeky bloke.
The Captain, duly obliges and the good ship PBW sets sail for the U.K. But alas, one of the crew is missing - oh no, cries battywench, where is our cruise director - she's AWOL.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we discover um, um, Laz looks at screen and says - it's time for Boston legal - oh, where is the girly whirly? has Phyl jumped ship to swim to the U.K? has she got second thoughts? or has she locked herself in the armoury to learn how to use the toys?
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, ye wenches and swashbucklers, thanks few hoistin' me and Dr. LLLLLLLUUUURve back aboard! While we were overboard, we swam ashore and found us a Thee-ayter that was a'playin' "Pirates Of The Caribbean--Dead Man's Chest" and, since we had our best pirate finery on (put it back on!! :o :o :o) we decided to dry off and sneak in!!
Boy, what a wild time we had! Loved Captain Jack Sparrows Dental work--gotta get me summa them gold teeth!! That Davey Jones with the octopus face scared the crap outta me--I hadta hide under the seat cuz I dint want him to recognize me and go after the PBW!!!!!
Well, anyhoo-you wenches and swashbucklers just gotta see this movie--good vestibular clallenge for you wobblers and wonkyheads!! (like me!) Wonkyheads? Uh-oh, I just thought that word up! Sound like fodder for another discussion!
Anyhoo again, I'll be glad to set a course for the UK as long as we can stop in the Caribbean for a dip and a Pina Colada at Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke!!
-
HAD TO SHARE!
Had Capt'n Deb on the phone driving back to work from lunch hour... she's not feeling so hot today... dang headache (claims she had a headache free day yesterday while skinny dipping with Dr. Lurrrrrrrrrrrve... and now is payback).
Anyway, I pull into McDonald's (I know, I know) for my typical happy meal (nasty hobby I have.. I collect happy meal toys).. so, I order my cheeseburger happy meal, not paying attention to the theme for the happy meals.. and what is it? Yep! Pirates of the Carribbean! My happy meal toy? An inflatable Pirate Sword (oh, lord, Laz, have fun with that one liner!).
So, all swashbuckling fans... they are playing our tune at USA MickeyD's... Happy Meals made just for Pirates! Bon appetite! I know I'll be gaining a LOT of weight this week!

Phyl
gotta get one of those Grandkids to go to Mickey D's with you. keep going till you collect the "talking skulll. Ask it a question and it'll give you an answer. Kinda like those 8 ball things. The eyeball socket gives you the answer, The skull is nicely attired in a matching pirate's hat.
Yesterday we dropped my Grandson off with my Son, he took the skull along with him. The other 2 kids were in the car ages 8 11 and 14 and i hear the oldest asking the skull " is my brother a dork?"
oh yeah!
Raydean

Oh, Raydean! too funny! Looks like I"m eating there all week until I get the 8-ball skull! :) Sounds like fun! :) Will now go on the treasure hunt for one! :)

The good ship PBW continues to sail to the U.K when all of a sudden a cry of help from the galley. "The chocolate is all getting wet, we have a leak in this here paddle boat" cries an anonymous wench (who's the cook?).
Captain Deb stays calm and then, at the top of her voice, shreeeeekkkssssss out "girly where are you?" and to everyone's surprise, the girly appears on deck, hair ruffled, clothes ripped, with a mysterious object held with both hands behind her back.
squark, squark shreeks the Captain, and as if the girly understood the parrot, she meanders down to the galley and heads towards the hole in the boat. She then proceeds to unveil the thing she is holding and blows it up. The cook wench is disgusted and horrified.
Stay tuned for the next episode when we find out who is the cook? what will the girly do with her blow up object? is this the end of the good ship PBW? will it sink?
-
LOL! oy! :)
-
Well alla ye Wenches and Swashbucklers, Dr. LLLLUUUUUURve took me to the Headache Wizard and while we were a'gassin' up the land yacht, I spied a Dinky Micky D's across the way with a big sign readin" "There be Pirates Here!" Shiver me timbers, I sez to meself! They be a' servin' hard tack, beef jerky, salted cod and rum at Micky D's? That's what Pirates eats, ya know. 'Cept for Batty Wench Pirates--they gets a choccie ration. Which I hear is gettin' all wet
Hey Pearly, does that blow up thingy come with batteries? :o

Miss Tatiane of Montreal up in Canada wants ta join us motley crew ! Well, I sez, Welcome to ya Miss Tatiane! A Wench ye shall be! I believe the crew list is on page 20 or 30 or 40 (?) of this thread, and we all have jobs aboard this here vessel, maybe you could be our interpreter which means we need to set a course for St Bart's again or Martinique! Or Dominica--365 freshwater rivers, lakes and streams and bee-yoo-tee-ful cloud-topped mountains!
Gennysmom, the Wench what be the First Mate is the lass who is strugglin' with the dreaded AN surgery right now, so we are hove-to for a while till she gets outta sick bay.

All aboard the good ship PBW. Looks like sick bay has been closed due to lack of interest and the ship needs to be puffin around the tropics.
Jimenee those crickets, hoist the big metal thing, undo them curtains and lets go thaddaway squarks the parrot who has had her tongue scratched by the ship's resident cat.
The good ship sets sail again and where she be headin, noone knows.

Capt Deb 8)
-
Oh, Yeah, Wenchy Tats! The Jolly Rogerette (skull and crossbones with pink bow) from the sox, maybe? I'm totally serious--I'll design it and we could find us a tat parlor in Philly when we hit the conference and get it done--I would totally do it if someone else will! I'm kinda used to needles these days!
Capt Deb
-
Thank you, thank you. I can do some simple poems, but don't be looking for any Great American Literature here. That won't be happen'. ;D
Capt Deb,and Phyll, Genneysmom and Laz, you are hilarious. :D :D
You amaze me with your wit and humor.
I will have the tatoo, but in my imagination only. On the ankle? I can imagine that!!
Honestly, we could have our own reality show. Maybe you guys should talk to Fox or ABC or somebody.
Later, wenches.
Sue
-
Deb, you read my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking the skull and bones with the pink bow....how perfect!!!! I'm in....already have a tat, so I ain't scared of em!!!! Who else is in????? Not so sure about a tat parlour in Philly...I might be scared!!! Anyone know of a reputible one there???
-
Alright!!!! Kathleen's back up on the horse!! Good to see you back!!!
Paul
-
I ain't got no tats, at all, aside from a few prison tatoos, but that's another story! :o
Hey Gennysmom, Is yer cabin still a'spinnin'? Got to take the leeboards offa yer bunk yet?
(For ye landlubbers, leeboards is canvas or wood thingies that attatch to the downwind side o' yer bunk, so ye don't fall outta it whilst yer a'tryin to get some shut-eye between watches. No not wrist watches. Watches is your turn at the helm--jeez, I guess I gotta 'splain alla this here nautical lingo--but that's alright--this forum is 'sposed ta be educational, right?)
Not leakin' again I hope! Number one rule of the sea--Thou shalt not leak! Just in case you do, however, I'm volunteerin' my SPECIAL cork that I put in my own personal bottle of grog about 20 years ago--it ain't never leaked yet! If it could plug up Captain Deb's rum bottle, it could plug up ANYTHING! But I really am a'hopin' that we DON'T need it! Ever!
Well, have ya seen them crazy photos of the Massachusetts Seven? It's a wonder they dint get locked up, trying ta steal that double-decker bus and all! Great disguises, too. Left their wenchwear and cutlasses at home and tryin' ta look like normal people. They musta made quite a racket at that restaurant--summa them bein' half-deaf and all. I know if I'm in a crowded place my voice gets louder and louder and louder and poor Dr. Love gets all embarrassed by me. I was on the telephone with 'em and they sure sounded like they was just havin' a lotta fun! AAAAAAAAWWWK!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Still need the leeboards as I'm listing at about 30 degrees to the starboard side. No leaks tho!!!!
I got the call too, and was priveledged to get to say hello to the dirty seven!!! Hello guys!!!!! Can't wait till our outing in September with the Aussie Bloke!!! He better not have any visits from the headache jumbie, because he's got a lot of talking to do!!!!!!!
BTW, the tater spoon actually worked better as a bad nurse whapper. Had me some of those!!!!!
-
I find most of me galley gadgets ta be multitaskers--fer instance, the big meat fork is an effective anti-snoring device and the large cast-iron skillet makes the television quit changing channels every 30 seconds! Modern technology!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Hey mom, you have to wear your "Wet t-shirt Champ" in honor of our Aussie visitor and our group picture.
How about two options for skull and crossbone tat's...permanent or temporary (the latter for me, I'm a chicken ;))
It's so awesome to have you back on the PBW, Gennysmom!!! :-* We've been missing you
hugs,
Cheryl
-
Toooooooo much to absorb here. You wenches can half natter!
Now captain Deb, I suggest we ban the cat offa the PBW, coz it took me about 2 hours to decypher what yer were tryin to say and then i still couldn't understand it!!!
Gotta teach ya some good Aussie "Strine" (short fer Australian).
Gennysmom, it's great to have the co- wet t shirt champ back on deck and outa sick bay preferably without the canary plug whoops, parrot plug. I have decided that when i turn up on the "best coast" (whoa, them's fightin words), I'll be teachin ya some good Aussie speak, coz, our grammer is heaps better than those that are worser! (gee, men in white coats are coming back).
I might even chime in with a jar of vegemite - Then I can get onto border control for bringing in alien food samples.
back to work for me, whilst I still have a job - mmm, best be thinkin' of the next episode.

The sad thing is, although I don't know why, you can actually get vegemite here. I think it's because we're a Pacific seaport, and we import lots of Brit's and Aussies. At the Brit store, they have all kinds of sandwich spreads that American's won't eat.
I need to look if the conference is in Seattle proper, or over in Bellevue...will make a difference to those of us here on planning what to do with the time you have!!!!!!!!
I agree, that cat tongue was mighty hard to work.....specially for a wench who now has crummy eyesight.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guess what, alla ye Wenches and Salty Seafarin' Swashbucklers? No, really, guess! I am pround ta say that the infamous Crew of The Good Ship Princess Batty Wench now has UNIFORMS!!! Yep, I picked 'em up from the James, the Tailor today! We gots Wench Uniforms and Bloke Uniforms! And they are in true Pirate Style!
Now, thanks to years and years of pillagin' and plunderin' I have quite a few treasure chests fulla gold doubloons, pearls, diamonds, emeralds and other assorted swag, so I found me a good fence who gave yer dear ole' captain Deb a big wad o' CASH to pay James the Tailor with.
So, if ye are a member o' this here motley CREW and ye want a uniform, just message me yer address and I'll be sendin' one your way! No need to include your size as James the Tailor guaranteed me that one size will fit everybody! (Apparantly some enchanted spandex is involved.) The catch is that if ye want to be a'sailin' on this here vessel, ya gots ta wear this here new uniform and nuthin' else! (I'm the dang Captain and what I say, goes!) Well, maybe some sunscreen. Or and earring or two.
I'll be a'waitin' for those addresses ye Wenches and Swashbucklers!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWK!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Do the uniforms allow for t shirts and superman capes?
-
Absolutely! We don't wanna suppress anyone's individuality here--as long as the T-shirt is wet, it'll do. And yes, Laz, you can wear the cape as long as James theTailor can mend the chandelier holes you put in it during our last stop in Tortuga! You remember Tortuga, don't ya--well probably not. We saw Capt Jack and Will Turner and Genny there.
Capt Deb 8)

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Went to the local JEWELRY store and got alla you Wenches and Swashbucklers accessories to go with your new uniforms! They are so cool! I got plenty for alla the crew--still waitin' fer your addresses! I have Paul, Phyll, Kathleen and has anybody heard from Karla-wench lately? We miss her!

Ahoy ye mateys and wenches, this here good ship PBW is about to set sail again from wherever it is, very shortly. Ufortyunately this here chronolioger has been struck down with ye olde headache jumbie and has been officially listed as awol. But rest assured, he is back on deck again and even with those men in white coats circling their prey like one eyed scavengers, this here chronologer is rarin to go again.
Gotta get through month end reporting first (minor detail but gotta have me a job to pay for my internet access).
I can release a pre series return scoop. Promise not ta tell anyones. Promise? come on now, promise!
Ok, a faint signal bearing a parrot's signature has been heard coming from the Bermuda Triangle. Can it be, has the good ship PBW sailed directly into the heart of the bermuda Triangle? Stay tuned when we find out which one of batty's toys was used by Captain Deb as a compass. Will we find the missing Karla wench and wenchette? will we find a world war 11 plane lost in a gap in the time space continuim?
Laz
-
Many the ship has dared to sail,
In dangerous, uncharted waters,
And many men have lost their lives,
Leaving wives, sons and daughters.
The Good Ship Princess Batty Wench,
Well stocked with chocchie and ale,
Will bravely sail to no-mans-land,
Called the Burmuda Triangle.
What lies beyond the mystery seas,
Our Laz will soon tell us all,
Monsters, Mermaids or UFO's?
Well, we know the tale will be tall!
-
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Sue, you certainly have missed your calling in life!
The good ship PBW has had to quickly duck into port so the chronologer can much away on his Kit Kat without the wenches knowing.. SSSSHHHHHH.
Later!
laz
-
ARRrr, did's you say Ale there? MMMmmmm. Methinks this ship needs a Grogmaster, and I'm just the scallywag, I mean Grog expert you be needin. I volunteer to sign on as the Grogmaster for this here odd boat, if'in I can keep the key to the Grog room.
Rob
-
Rob,
No problems my matey, grogmaster ye shall be, in fact, the grogmaster should be an officer so we might have ta gets ye captain parrothead to annoint ye something like Sargent of the grog. Do pirates have sargents?
laz
-
Ah, just be handin over the key to the Grog room then, that's it, MOJITOS for all today.
Rob

Thank you! Mmmmm, Mojitos! ;D Loverly. *glugs it down in two gulps* More, please?? *urp*

It's about time another swashbuckler joined the Good Ship PBW. Our dear Laz has been out numbered by the wenches. (I rather think he likes it that way ;))ÂÂ

speaking of grog..my son asked me if I had some grog would I be normal and not run into the wall anymore LOL
Guess I should do some research? ;)

Thanks Capt. Deb for posting the pix!! My poor brain couldn't figure out how to do it!! Anyway, that was at a discount liquor store near the California/Oregon border. Couldn't resist having the picture taken. Yep, good ole Capt. Morgan says Hey. Looks alot like Capt. Hook, he does.

For 20 years or so I made my living sailing the exact same waters as Bluebeard, Blackbeard, and the infamous English Privateer, Sir Francis Drake.  Everytime we'd round a headland which opened into a crystal clear blue bay, I would imagine coming across one of their galleons, flags a'flyin' and cannons at the ready. It was really incredible and my appreciation of that experience has taken on a whole new meaning since comin' down with the dreaded AN!
Captain Deb 8)
55 year old white woman who thinks she's a pirate and oughtta be locked up! AARRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
How come Sue gets a new boyfriend? Dang I need one! ;D
Capt Deb you will so appreciate this...I babysat my 3.5 year old niece last weekend who informed me she was going to be a pirate! she played buried treasure all weekend. I got her one of those little treasure chest toys from mcdonalds...you would have thought it was full of gold. AHHH to be 3 again ;D She's already sporting pirate attire :o)
-
My 3.5 yr old grandson is stuck on superheros--he needs a visit with his "Nannywench" real bad!
-
As the good ship PBW circles the ocean in the hart of the bermuda triangle, the entire crew have stopped feeling dizzy. It's the magnetic pull cries one of the wenches. It's the decacrap yells girly, no, its the mojos yells thye grogmaster. I spiked yer water so yuz only got 100% proof alcohol.
Nan wench was absolutely delighted as its the first time she has walked straight in years. But the parrot was less imaginitive and has ordered that the grogmaster be confined to his quarters for a week. Now swashbuckler Rob (alias our grogmaster) was rather taken back by thet order as Rob sleeps with the grog.What a way to go. But it means that the wenches are all going to go dry for a week.
As thjis was sinking into the wench brains' immediately off in the port direction is a fast approaching object headed for a collision course with the good ship PBW.
Stay tuned for the next epissode when we find out: Will Captain Deb let the grognmaster out on good behaviour (aftrer 5 minutes), has the grogmaster drunk allo the rum? What is the mysterious object in the girly's hands?
-
Hey, what the heck happened in here. All the kegs are empty! Did I forget to lock the hold. All these &%$$% wenches drained every keg. Captain, turn her about, this is an emergency!
-
Cap't Deb, I think maybe you wuz a Pirate in your last life, or the one before that!! I think we should petition Touchstone Pictures, and demand that the crew of the PBW be included in the making of their next sequel to their Pirate movie. (Except I think it's already made). I was driving over to the mall the other day, and there was a young man and young lady walking along, in their Pirate gear. She, a comely wench and he, a Pirate Buckaneer.Have not the faintest idea why they were in full regalia, but they were. Are they dressing like that at McDonalds?? But, Pirates are the rage this summer. Capt. Deb is a trend setter, don'tcha know.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
I think I might have been a pirate in me last life, but I KNOWS I has been a pirate in this'n fer sure!! In my sailin' life, we had no TV's, and lots of us liked a good read and there was this GREAT book about a lady pirate and I bin rackin' me brain a'tryin' ta remember the name of it!
My entire pirate wardrobe got a'blown away in Hurricane Hugo (along with everything else I owned) and now I can find stuff everywhere! Even down to the Walmart! I have two really great pirate flags, but they have become lost in the hell-hole that Dr. Love calls the garage. I used to be the official garage organizer till the dreaded AN made it hard to get on a ladder and lift stuff. I'm sure they'll turn up when we move out!
Capt Deb 8)

Cap't Deb,
A brief look around amazon brought these books up; is any the one you are trying to remember? Perhaps they may be good additions to the ship's library...
Also, thank you for your determination, inspiration, and good cheer. I am sure that I am not the only person who rarely posts but who is encouraged and strengthened by your posts. Thank you!

Hi Deb:
I don't think so. I did an "advanced" search under my name and didn't come up with anything for pirate music or sea chanties. Sorry, that doesn't sound like something I would know about!! I did mention Talk Like A Pirate Day, having originated in Oregon. I did find this after I googled Pirate Music:

Hi Deb
I think it was me. It was something that I got off of the new Netscape and I think it's posted under the headache or the headache medicine thread of yours.
Pretty sure it's the one where you were discussing the drugs your doctor was giving you.
Have a great day

Bono and Crew Set Sail Under Jolly Roger
Posted Jun 29th 2006 1:50PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Music
"Pirates of the Caribbean" director Gore Verbinski isn't satisfied with just sharing his vision of pirates, he wants us all to hear their music. Gore Verbinski, Johnny Depp and Hal Willner have joined forces with Anti Records to create "Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys," a two-disk CD with more songs about the sea and pirates then you can shake a peg leg at.
Bono, Sting, Nick Cave and a host of other singers lend their talent to the swashbuckling album. Artists recorded their songs- usually in less then a day- with any of the six house bands set up in destinations around the globe. At one point, eight songs were recorded in one day by eight different singers.
Over 600 songs were drudged up by producer Willner who rummaged antique stores, eBay and the Internet, culling together the list. The list was eventually shortened to 60 recorded songs, 43 of which made it onto the album, which is slated for a August 22nd release.
Check out Bono's rendition of "A Dying Sailor to His Shipmates" Truly uplifting stuff.
And Sting's rousing rendition of " Blood Red Rose
Thanks Raydean! I found it and thought this thread would be a good place to put it--thecakes hasn't been around much--funny how this thread got hijacked into piratedom!

My last appointment-I came home with a bonafide Kip 10 (That's a headache scale and it's the worst) that lasted about 12 hours. I decided not to go back. Now, if someones gonna stick needles in me, I want there to be drugs in 'em!

Callin' all Wenches
Yer fearless Captain was just a'takin' a lil shore leave an strollin' thru the local shoppin' mall near to my home port and I come across this lil store called "Claires" and what do you suppose I come across?
Wenchy stuff!!! Pink Wenchy Stuff! They had earrings and socks and necklaces and IPOD covers and purses with lil pink skulls and crossbones splattered all over 'em! Now, I wanted to buy stuff for alla the crew, but the crew be gettin pretty large right now. Plus, I bought the very last pink Jolly Rogerette earring and necklace set that they had in stock. Now our shoppin mall is pretty pathetic it has a JC Penny and a Belk and a few dinky shopps and not even a Starbucks-(there ain't no Starbucks in our town at all!) so I guess if you lives in a bigger town and you mosey on down to the Claire's you can get Wenched up, too!!!!
and anyone who gots a Walmart near 'em gots ta message me off line --I got a top secret assignment fer ya--yeah a real PBW Wench assignment!!
Capt Deb 8)

Send me a note and tell me where you found them in the store and I'll pick some up!

T'is one CRAZY SHIP :P ;D :-X
-
geeeeeshhhh,
Get struck down with the heradache gumby fer a coupla days and it's mayhem aboard this here good ship PBW. Closet wenches are startin' everywhere, skimpy wet outfits being sent across the country via the good dinghy girly whirly (it's got wheels!), needles with drugs - how does one keep up?
So much here water has crossed under the bridge, this here chronologer has lost the PBW - last I remembered, I think Mr Grogmeister was practicsing his backstroke in the rum kegs.
mmmmm, perhaps the good ship PBW has gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle. Watcha done here Captain Deb? You better get your butt up to the deck and leave poor Doctor Luuuurrrrvvvvveeee to recover and start steering this here ship towards Seeeeeatle where there shortly be a gathering of one eared wenches and swashbucklers carefully positioned around a table.
Stay tuned when we find out, Will Captain Deb surface? will the good ship PBW be found or has the good ship PBW come across a mysterious island?
Laz

I've missed ya Laz
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR 25 days and counting till the wenches and swashbucklers take Seattle...can't wait ;D
cheryl
-
Well, I guess we has gots ter get this here ship a headin' on a cours o' about 270 or so--headin' twards the Panama Canal! Gotta make a stop in the San Blas Islands for some primo Scuba Divin' Hmmm...scuba divin' with gravitationally challenged Wenches and Skallywags!! That oughtta be a hoot!!!
By the way Laz--it is a Jumbie not a gumby, who is the big weird green guy. That Jumbie whapped me good, to yesterday--took me three jabs of Imitrex to kick his ass! But kick it I did! Not like before sufferin' for 12 hours straight. You gotta get you some! Imitrex, that is!
Capt Deb 8)
-
I tell ya Capt Deb, I felt like gumbie the last few days - all weak like.
Looking forward to sunny Seeeeeeatle where it's perfect sunshine and a mild 28 degrees. Cheryl, make sure that sun still shines brightly in 3 weeks or I will have our local voodoo witch strut their stuff.
I hope the good ship PBW can find its way!
As a matter of interest, I booked my fares using my frequent flyer miles so am stuck in "cattle class". I rang the airline (our very own down under airline - Qantas) to plead compassion for an upgrade and I was told to take my documents re AN with me on the day to see if they will upgrade me. So far, there are planty of seats available in Business Class.
I'll let ya all know the outcome. I figured that flying would be safer than going on the good ship PBW, especially with Captain Deb at the helm (when Dr Luuurrrvvveee is not around of course).
Hey Cheryl, its only 23.5 days for me - hope the timezone difference doesn't mean that you guys will turn up a day late!! white coats - oh no, get me outa here.

What are the dates for this "Seattle Gathering"??
Sue in Vancouver
-
Sunday, September 10th and we are meeting at Cutter's at 10:30am. Janet has made the reservations, so let her know. I hope you can make it Sue!!!
Cheryl
-
Sheesh, you folks couldn't have picked a better (closer) port? Most of America is still east of the Mississippi ya know. And Florida is sunny and warm, whereas Seattle...
I will NOT serve drinks if I have to fly all the way to Seattle. Hrrmph.
(Maybe if you tell me what day, I'll mix a drink for myself in your honor.)
-
Kilroy is right.. twue civilization exists EAST of the Mississippi River, hence, all of us here live on the GREATEST coast. :D

You guys are still whining because you know your coast isn't the best, that's why Laz is coming here not there!!!!!!! And as for sunny, we only tell out of staters that it rains to keep all this beautiful land to ourselves!!!!!!!!!! The other reason is Paul Allen lives here and this is where he builds all his shrines, and one is to Science Fiction, where Laz needs to go to the Star Trek convention. We're headed back to the South Pacific and Laz-land when we're done. We need to stop and pick up some more choccies somewhere though, we seem to be out!!!!!

I want me one o' them hunky long-haired Polynesian Hunks what knows how to dance and spin a fire baton and whatnot!!!

Um... you can have your sci-fi-cons, cold, stormy seas and overpriced coffee. I'll take our 85-degree turquoise water and overpriced Pina Coladas. ;) You guys should have gone to visit Laz; I've heard nothing but good things about the land down under.

Well, where the heck do ya live, Kilroy--sounds like the Islands ter this wench!! I miss it so!! Tryin' ter convince Dr. Love to get us a place down there, but he don't want to leave his grandbabies! I think we oughtta take em wiv us!!
Has ye heard tell o' Tropical Storm Debby just off the Cape Verde Islands? She's a mere tropical depression just now, but as with all things called Debby anything can happen!!

Heh, no, just Florida. Not the islands by any means, but there is something to be said for being able to hop in my car and go somewhere if boredom/hurricanes/etc., come a'callin. That's problematic down in the islands.
Congrats on getting a storm named after you. That's kind of fun... as long as it doesn't hurt people or break things. I had a good time watching Hurricane Kyle make loop-dee-loops out in the Atlantic for three weeks. If you find the tracking map, it looks like it was drunk-walking, and switching from TD to TS to hurricane and back. So keep yer good eye on Deb. Y'aarrrr.
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Captain Deb,
Looks liken we here have a potential (rather non pirate word) mutiny / division on our hands between east and west.
Sounds like yous gotta be splittin the crew on the port and other side of the good ship PBW. The grogmeister can go in the middle coz he can then serve the rum and pino col who di whatsits to everyone.
This here chronologer now has ta go to a finance pow wow with my baseball bat.
catch ya after the meet.
laz.
p.s the good ship PBW did visit the land down under somewhere between page 20 and 60!!
-
Sorry, mates, I feel a poem coming on.
Avast me hearties
We're setting sail,
On the morning tide.
If we're to return
to Burmuda waters,
That's for Laz to decide.
We'll see the coast
on the left side,
To miss, would be a pity,
Wonderous sights
will greet us all
in the Emerald City.
Beautiful Mt Rainier
reigns supreme,
All majestic and lofty.
I hear that all you
Need to know
is to order a "double latte".
-
Avast, me hearties!
Methinks I spot a ship on the horizon an' her cannon, which are loaded with potshots and slander, be trained right on the broadside o' the Good Ship Princess Batty Wench!!! Well, the PBW's cannon be loaded with silly jokes, Beanie Farts, Poe Lorry-ate Sue's infectious rhymes and......and......and,,,,,what else, but,....choccie!!! Fire away, I sez!

Hey guys, I's forgot to tell y'all!!!! Nan and I had a great idea for Philly or somewhere fun!!! We need to make the AN speshal 'Lympics!!!!!! We could have a 100 yard dash, and a sack race (same sided AN's only for partners), hurdles.....wouldn't that be the funniest thing ya ever saw???? We thought it would be helarious!!!!
-
How about the ole' balance-beam-walk-over-the-vat-of-choclate-race?
Capt Deb
MA T. S. (Masters in all things silly)
-
That's good too!!!!!! I just wanna see about 10 of us line up for the 100 yard dash and run at the gun, especially when I think of the Phoebe run on "Friends" that everyone compares our run to (thanks Denise for the visual on that one)
-
I also got the visual of 10 "Phoebe" runners LOL
-
My son laughs at me as everytime we take a walk I ask him if he'd like to see me run as I run so pretty. He always tells me to let Phoebe handle the running LOL Sometimes he can be a real spoil sport!
Ya know for a thread to cause so much rucous it sure has been read a lot! ;D
-
If any of you Wenches or Scallywags has seen "POC, Deadman's Chest" you may want to compare the Capt Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) run to the Phoebe run. They are very similar! Pheobe is totally me role model and a true Wench!
Capt Deb P<)

OH GOOD....Back to normal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fire away, Cap't!! The Good Ship PBW will always win the battle.

1084th post an a good one it was!

Hi ye all,
The grogmeister loads his special brew combined with a blend of laughter, silliness and friendship into the cannons and
FIRE AWAY
Stay tuned coz the good ship PBW has avoided this skullduggary, has manouvered herself through the bermuda triangle thanks to a carefully plotted path by this here Captain and sets sail again to shores that offer ghood cheer and R&R for the whole crew after its most recent battle.

Attention Crew!
Miss Raydean-wench will be formally known as the "Ships Counselor" as she is seen by many of us here as the "voice of reason." Remember the black haired wench from "next generation" Deanna Troy? She was an empath, like our sweet sweet Raydean. Now Miss Raydean-wench, she don't actually have an AN, but she be hitched to this scallywag, called Chet, whose award-winning AN puts him up with the likes o' Paul Deball and Nate the PC tech, in fact, surpasses 'em! Now, this same Miss Raydean-wench, she be a great comfort to yer fearless captain here, when she first come down with the Dreaded AN nearly 4 years past, and helped yours truely through some very rough seas indeed! So indeed she be an empath I sez!!!!
So congratulations, Miss Raydean! Yer "gots" yer title at last!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Miss raydean wench - I think you have your first patient?! who shall remain nameless of course.
Laz
-
Go Raydean Go!!! You just can't laugh too much with our Phoebe running...well, OK, you can laugh at us.
Those of you on for the 9/10 meeting with our counselor...be forewarned, there will be a camera there. I hate pictures, but after what they did in the NE meeting, we have to post them!

Ker-Plow!!!!

Welcome Nate!!!!!!!!! We wonderful wenches welcome you with open arms!!! Grab a glass of grog and get ready for a good ride!!!! You can catch on just by hanging out, but you do need a job!! What are you good at??? We have a first mate, a cruise director, etc (see page 20 or 21). We'll explain as we go!
-
My tears have turned to laughter.  :D Our peaceful seas were churning back there (was that a sea monster trying to take our ship to Davy Joneses Locker?) but I see our fine Captain and crew, and our new Pirate Empath have negotiated the Burmuda Triangle quite nicely.  Now, you SEE what happens when you go to places mysterious like that?? Perhaps we shall not ever return to the dreaded Burmuda Triangle again..  Seattle is looking mighty good to me.  Grogmaster, I'll have a half-caff, non-fat Frappacino, if you please.  With a little rum. Thank you.  ;D
-
Sue, you should know you can't get a good wench down!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Methinks Mr. Nate be the one ter keep our ships puter updated, so we can stay informed about new treatments and whatnot so as to help any newbies comin' aboard! And maybe he be assistant grogmaster as well!
AAAAAARRRR!!!!!!!

I'm thinking Nate needs to be the graphicologer...heck is that even a word? he's got some funny graphics...photologist? LOL I guess with 1500 posts under my belt I have no life eh? Gee, and here I thought I was just being friendly and helpful ;D :-*
-
Nate,
Your firswt duty as puterologist is to upgrade this here goode ship PBW from abacus to 'puter. This here goode ship aint going anywhere near that sea monster infected bermuda triangle again. Was that a coincidence or what? saving all that anger while the goode ship was helpless trying to get out of the bermuda triangle?? geesh, we could write a story about that ::)

That's what my brain feels like somedays, a bunch a criss crossed and dangling wires  ;D

And I'm definitely still in DOS format!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least I feel like I am some days.
-
I goto say Nate,
I laughed so much at your pic and comment. ya cheered me up mate!. You see, this here chronologer is one of these dangerous P.C people that think they know lots and lots about 'puters but still spends hours trying to get something working when a cable isn't in right.(dork incorporated)
Great ta have ya on board. Hope the puter fixin doesn't take ya too long. The grogmeister only has 1,000 litres of rum left in the kegs. That's about 5 minutes drinkin time fer this here motley crew.
Mind you, no wonder the PBW got lost in the bermuda triangle!!!!

But today be a beee-ooo-teee-ful day and not a whisp of a headache fairy hanging around! I hope she not be a' visiting with someone else this AM. Just a lookin' offa the poop deck here on the BPW , with the fog burnin off over some distant islands, aaaaaaaaahhhhh it be GREAT to be alive and in such good company as them what be aboard this her vessel!

Are there other candidates? Let's see'em all before fixin' on THE one. Your old one has a certain sense of mystery which appeals to me, leaves some room for the imagination, which the proposed new one lacks on first seeing it. How it wears I know not.
Yo ho, I still haven't had lunch today, and I even burned a Naan in a pan forgettin' it as I came here--BAD, can't have the house burn down, need a cook Smee was it?

At full steam ahead, 1 knot - the goode ship PBW sets sail for those sunny shores of the equal best coast of the mighty AUS of A. Notice the chronologer's attempt at being neutral as regards east and west). Th slow speed is due to the overwhelming support for the crew's latest sea monster quest and defeat. The ship is overcrwded with crew, reporters, tv camera people - the works.
Captain Deb is getting a little disgruntled by the slow speed so orders the grogmeister to her cabin where, after 2 hours trying to walk to the next cabin. Captain Deb orders a cocktail be made for the boiler room to put a bit'o grunt back in this here goode ship.
Grogmeister, trying to understand the order eventually stumbles back to his cellar and starts mixing a bit 'o this and a bit ' o that. The test tube is smouldring, gm thinks he's got the perfect concoction. He quickly makes up a barrel full of this mix and chucks it in the boiler.
Some rumblings are heard by the crew, the goode ship goes very quiet, even the goode dinghy girly whirly stops circling.
Stay tuned when we find out Will this be the end of the goode ship PBW? has the gm developed a new rocket fuel? why are there puter cables connected to the boiler? - mmmm
-
ARRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What be this boiler nonsense?? We be a SAILIN" vessel we be, we be!!!! Best the GM fix a big cocktail fer the Wind Gods so that they whips us up a fine breeze to get us here!

We needs us a sea-bath to wipe off alla the slime from our battle wiv the dreaded sea monster. Everyone!!!--"Uniforms" on and o'er the side wiv yer!!!!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
AAAAAARRRRRR captain Deb,
there be here one bigun twist with this here boiler.
Stay Tuned.
p.s after the swim at this boooootiful island. But alas, what is this "boiler"? is it something else in disguise? (how am I doing to get outa that one?)
ah ha, me's got it! stay tuned

Whaddaya say we drop the hook here fer a coupla days--Leinster Bay, St. John.
Pic posting directions are in the Welcome message section now!
-
beam me up scotty!
-
Capt,
St. John is an excellent choice for divin' over the side. Haven't been there in 20 years but I remember it well. I just recieved the readout from my 6 month MRI, "no recurrent tumor", so as Grogmaster I'm breaking out a barrel of fine aged Tequila--- Margaritas all around, ye scurvy scallywags. An fer those who be too refined fer Tequila, a barrel of Chardonay.
Rob - aka Grogmaster
-
Woo hoo grogmeister!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!! Break it out!!! Back to St. John says the first mate, Spent many a night there and it's a great place to celebrate the slaying of sea monsters!!!!!!
-
St. John it is then!! Anyone remember the Backyard in Cruz Bay? I was a member of the house band that played there on Friday night. Tom Funk The Cow Bay Cruzboys--I was the token Cruzette. Believe it or now they are still together and makin' music, the old duffs that they are! I lived on a boat in the harbor. Sailed during the day, played music at night. What a life!I sland population was about 1500 at the time. The Islands nickname was "Love City" and was one of the most laid back places on earth. No more, sadly to say--the FWM discovered it. (folks with money) As did the CSD (criminals selling drugs) But as soon as the PBW shows up the PWM and the CSD will skeedaddle!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
OOOHHH, and congrats to the GM for a clean MRI!!!!!! Dirty martinis for a clean MRI!!!!
Capt Deb

Laz,
Please take the helm, and I'll escort the Capt back to her cabin, before she runs us aground.

Any o' you wenches or scallywags notice that the sea monster has been officially SUNK!!!!! ;D
Capt Deb 8)

Laz,
Please take the helm, and I'll escort the Capt back to her cabin, before she runs us aground.
Rob
Now this here Captain does have a history of running the goods ship PBW aground - I think it's between pages 40 and 50 somewhere! I also seems to remember getting hit over the back of the head with a very long baseball bat following that episode.
The crew thinks Capt that ye might deserve a holiday owing ta the defeat of the ugly sea monster that threatened the good ship PBW with a scud misile. Fortunately, our dear parrot came to the rescue and the good ship PBW "chucked a uee" (pronounced youee)- turned around on the spot and the misile seemed toa have a boomerang attached to it and it reversed and blew its sender outa the water.
So Captain, ya crew is offerin ya three wishes of yer choice ta celebrate. what be they?
Laz
-
1. No more headaches
2. A balance nerve
3. A left ear that did more than hold up an earring
4. A Million dollars, no 10 million dollars
In that order.
Captain Deb 8)
-
Laz,
 Perhaps we should go to Haiti and find a NeuroVoodooist for the capt, so she can have some of her wishes
Rob
PS I'll see if I can find the ship's chicken, we may need it.
-
aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lost my post as got caught in traffic with headcase! aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Capt Deb, we's go lookin for de voodooologist but first our resident jeanie girly whirly mom has beamed the goode ship PBW ter Leinster Bay, St John and it's all crew members into yer togs (what be they called in the fair land of the US of A? and it's overboard with the lot o' ya.
Someone needs to wake our grogmeister coz he sampled too many chardonays and where is our puter person? What has the puter cables and the boiler got in common? is there a plot a brewin?
stay tuned.

Scurvy mates,
Anyone heard from Pluto? The poor guy is probably depressed. Can you imagine what it would be like being demoted after 87 years of being recognized as a full blown Planet. I hear all of his previous annual reviews have been rated “Out of this World�. He’s probably trying to decide if he likes it enough in the Solar system to stick around anyway, or wonder off to some new planetary system willing to recognize his stature.
Rob

In college, at 41, I elected to have astronomy as my science elective--boy it was hard--lots of math I hadn't done since grade 10, but I loved it! Fell in love with the stars on many a night watch out in the middle of the ocean. I feel so sorry for poor Pluto, too. Deeeee-moted he be, he be! We needs ter have a party fer him! and a PBW holiday from all shipboard duties cept fer Mr GM. I'm paintin' me toenails black in mourning.
That's the West Indian way--any excuse for a party. Dis be Pluto Demotion Day. There are 32 official bank holidays in the VI. Just about one a week. I just love the culture down there. Any excuse to make a bunch of food, grab a few bottles o' rum or whatever, take it to the beach, and jus' be limin', mon!! Let's have the party here:

Gennysmom's Favorite Beach!:
Hawksnest, St. John
a favorite with the locals and great snorkling.
Whatcha think?
Capt Deb 8)
-
This crawled over to here from the Parrothead thread.
Since we are in the Virgins, I though you'd enjoy the lyrics to "One Particular Harbor" by Jimmy Buffet (who else?)
The language is Tahitian and means
"Bounty of the land is exhausted
But there's still abundance in the sea."
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
I know I don't get there often enough
But God knows I surely try
It's a magic kind of medicine
That no doctor could prescribe
I used to rule my world from a pay phone
Ships out on the sea
But now times are rough
And I got too much stuff
Can't explain likes of me
Chorus:
But there's this one particular harbour
So far but yet so near
Where I see the days as they fade away
And finally disappear
But now I think about the good times
Down in the Caribbean sunshine
In my younger days I was so bad
Laughin' about all the fun we had
I seen enough to feel the world spin
Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins
Listen to the drummers and the night sounds
Listen to the singers make the world go 'round
(pan solo)
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Lakes below the mountain
Flow into the sea
Like oils applied to canvas
They permeate through me
And there's that one particular harbour
Sheltered from the wind
Where the children play on the shore each day
And all are safe within
Most mysterious calling harbour
So far but yet so near
I can see the day when my hair's full gray
And I finally disappear
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura (Ua pau te maitai no te fenua)
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura (Ua pau te maitai no te fenua)
E mea arofa teie ao nei, hey now, hey now, hey now
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

It IS my favorite snorkling beach on St. John!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew what it was before I even read the caption!!! OOOOO I wanna go now!!!! I miss staying at Cinnamon bay....It's a very cool place for those of us who like roughing it!!! I'm hankering for conch fritters and a nice cool one!!!!!
-
I like Cinnamon, but Maho is a lil more comfy--gotta have my fan in the tent! $75.00 a night for a big roomy tent for 2 or 3 with fridge, stove, a fan and a little deck. Le' we go now!
Hey, we gotta new crewmember!!!
Again Deb thanks for the info. and for the support BP, can I, can I, can I please get on your ship and wear pirate socks and sail off into the sunset of one of those beautiful pictures Deb posted??? Of course I want to travel headache free
Patti UT wantsta sign on! We gotta find her a job--"Keeper of the Olives and Pearl Onions" is already taken by Peanut. Did we give "Picker of the Limes" to her too? We may need to take that one back and give it to Patti UT!!! Unless she wants to be "Maker of the Conch Fritters." What we really need is a "Swatter of the Evil Headache Fairy."
Capt Deb 8)
I really need more "uniforms"--start scouring the Wallyworld near you, Wenches!!!
-
Yup to both--yes you assigned me picker of limes fer margaritas as well as Keeper of Olives and Pickled Onions, and yes what we really need is Swatter of the Evil Headache Fairy and Slayer of the Headpain Demon. If need be, of course I'll relinquish, just let me know. Maybe Patti UT and I can team up...How 'bout that, Patti?
Off we go,
Cheerio,

Gennysmom's best Cosmo recipe: Raspberry vodka, cranberry juice, fresh squeezed lime and the secret ingredient...a splash or two of Chambord. For something even more fun, use white cranberry juice and add a splach of blue curacao. Yummy!! Another good one is a chocolate covered cherry...good at holiday time...heat cranberry juice in Irish whiskey glass, add creme de cacao and top with a little whip cream....mmmmm yummy!

Thanks Capt Deb for the uniform  ;D enjoy

How incredibly cute!!!!!
You are truly a master puterologist--I'll message you offline when I'm ready to master the "slideshow" skill! We seems ter have a plethora of wenchettes and junior scallywags round here! We're so glad they gots their mamas and daddies around to enjoy the lil buggers!

Nate - You are AWESOME!!! Thanks so much for the great pics and for being our Master Puterologist aboard the PBW ;)
Cheryl

Leave the site fer a day and look what happens.
Our puterologist can create mini movies on this here site but still gets the puter cables stuck inside da boiler (which we don't have) aboard the goode ship PBW.
This chronologer here is in mourning about Pluto. Those dumb scientists shoulda kept it. I thought it was a cute planet. It was a bit slow taking 254 years to go round da sun and the winters are a tad long and cool but hey - we all got weather problems!
In Seattle I'll have to get Captain James T Kirk to hijack the Enterprise and go bring Pluto a bit closer so they can't ignore it.
It's black arm bands for all the scallywags and wenches aboard the goode ship PBW.
mm, must try and import a pic taken offa my phone today.

Ey ey Capt'n,
I'll be happy to be the Evil Headache Fairy Swatter. Cuz ya know I've been applying for a job here bein' all mature and professional like ya know. But do I quialify?? I kinda gave up on reading through the whole thread, got through about 33 pages and the Headache fairy made me give it up. Also, I may need a new swatter as I've been swattin' at that darn Fairy for 3 days now, what a pest he/she is. ( what gender do you suppose that neusance is?? now, let me think, oh ya that one).
I have the perfect solution. I'll install some of them bug, in this case, Fairy zapper machines all around the ship. Then I can just do the maintenance on them and have more time for sippin umbrella drinks.
Happy to be aboard.
Does Wally World really carry pirate atire??? I can't wait to see the halloween costumes this year with the new Cap't Davey Jones
Patti UT
-
Wally World has all kinds of Wenchy jewelry accessories under the brand name o' "no boundaries" and be studded with diamonds and such. Good to wear whilst yer a' dealin' with the suits! Gives ya strength they does! Ask our namesake, Batty Princess! She be wearin' wenchgear to her meetin's with the VR people and whatnot. She be gettin' her way lately! Even whilst on the phone, they gives ya strenght! I like the idea o' the Swattin' Machines and the more time fer the brelly drinks! Get the puterologist ter do the maintainence--he likes it!!
See!!

No worry on the GM thread--read one page a day 'sides this'n. We have had us a time, we has. I vote fer re-kidnappin' Matthew after seein' "Failure to Launch." The pretty lil' wood boat in the last scene reminds me o' one I spent a few good years cruisin' on in the Islands, mostly with a pack a wenches lots like us! Fill up the phonebooth from he** with the choccie again, Wenches! It be dippin" time!!! ::) ::) ::)

Ahoy, Mates. I've been trying ta upload a nice photo of our destination, Beautiful Puget Sound...but alas, when I try, my 'puter freezes up like the North Pole. Be needin that PC Tech to make a house call. Anyway.....Wanted to say this about that: It's our cyber universe, so if we want Pluto to be a planet..then it can be. And if, in the below decks of our magnificent sailing vessel, there just might be a secret boiler room because we need something to get us out of the Doldrums, if we sail into windless seas, 'cause I ain't going to row!! And whose to say she might not need some of that there magical Dilithiam Crystals now and then to give us that extra push. Just as long as we don't hear from the Engineer, "Cap't, she can't take Warp 9! And I'm glad somebody is finally in charge of the citrus, because we wouldn't want to get the dreaded scurvy.. And every decent Pirate Ship needs a headache fairy, kind of like Tinkerbell, only armed with one of Deb's syringes for her wand. And as the Poet Lorry-ate we need another silly poem. Good thing 'cause that's all I can do.
Pluto's demoted to Icy Dwarf,
Sea Monster slain at sea,
PBW sails off to lazy lagoon,
Some R&R for you and me.
Whew...did I catch up??
Vancouver Sue
-
OK, then, let's see if I can get a Puget Sound picture in here....See if mom has any 'puter skills:
(http://www.worldweb.com/Uploads/PhotoGallery/file-10-10940-file2.jpg)
-
OOOOOHHHH
all pink and purply! Pretty pretty!!
I concurr with the Poet Lorry-ate. If the PBW have a pool and a full-service spa an a big vat of choccie onboard an a disco, well I suppoe we gots ter have a boiler ter run all the 'lectrics like our styling irons and toenail polishers an the BLENDERS fer the brelly drinks.
We needs ter have a GOOD headache fairy with Her Magic Imitrex Wand at the Ready I'm a starting ter rethink this whole headace fairy thing--maybe she be a he an' a demon at that! He be a Jumbie that one. That's what the West Indians call their evil spirits--Jumbies they be!!
Maybe Miss Patty UT needs ter be in charge of the Imitrex! Keeper of the Imitrex be a good title on board a boat what gots a lotta Wenches and Scallywags be havin headaches!!
So glad we discuss alla this stuff first, ain't you?
Capt Deb 8)
-
Captain....She needs to be a fairy!!! See, fairies are tiny and cute and all, but they's be tricky chickies....they're the only things that can properly trip up those Jumbies when they attack....fairies are for good!!! Jumbies are the bad evil spirits. A good fairy with a headache Jumbie whapper can be quite useful!!!!!!
-
I KNEW Gennysmom would have a nice picture of our destination! Thank you. I have every confidence that the Pacific Northwest will put on a good show for Laz. No volcanoes erupting, or earthquakes...just blue skies and greenish blueish greyish seas and awesome food at Cutters!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Ahoy ye wenches and scallywags, this here goode ship PBNW is turning into a QE2 - whats with lectric bug zappers and blenders for them girly brella drinks. AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR this 'ere be a pirate ship and no lectrics on board. If rowin be the order, then rowin it shall be ms poetologist. Da beverage by order is Rum without brellas!
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR time to toughebn up the crew here Ms Captain Deb, yous gettin too soft after 'n victory over da sea monster. R&R fer one more day and then it's hoist the anchor, raise the sail (or whatsever one does with da sail) and it'll be sailin for some plunderin and piratin. The goode ship PBW gots ta get its reputation back in those cold harsh seas. We next sail lookin fer a Belgium chocolate tanker ter plunder. (after this her chronologer has his latte'!
Stay tuned
Laz
-
Then find a steady wind, dear Laz, 'cause if we have to depend on rowing, we be not getting to far!! ;D 'Course, in this cyber universe, maybe we be Amazon Pirate wenches.
-
Laz,
Did someone say "Amazons"?
Rob
-
We needs a crew position entitled "Supplicator of the Wind Gods."  That boiler thingie be for a'runnin' o the blender sports! Maybe they's a choccie tanker on the way from Belgium to Venezuela by way of St John that we can plunder!!!!
Anyone watching Genny in Pirates o' the Caribbean? Brush up on yer pirate lingo maybe?

This phantom bukko has stoled this here chronologers puter inards and can't see da new pics.
Laz jumps overboard and hops into the goode dinghy girly whirly thingy and circles and circles and then whoosh - motors into the sunset to find that puter pirate who goes by da name Dell coz he gots to replace my puter inards.
meanwhile as laz escapes the goode ship PBW, Capt Deb seems to be hiding something behind her back and that means the wenches and scallywags are very interested in this hidden item. What could it be?
Stay tuned
Laz
-
Looks like a place ter plunder not shop Captain Deb!
ye old parrot is gettin soft. This here chronologer reckons that some deck scruibbin on yer knees be a good cure for takin out the softness. How will the crew cope if'n another sea monster appears and the good Captain is off with the birds (or is that fairies?)
It's scrub those decks Capt'n.
laz

Being the Good Ship PBW is currently in route to Puget Sound which is of course located of the Best, err, West Coast. I thought i'd share what you be missing. ÂÂ
Go to www.google.com click on images and type in Puget Sound  On a clear sunny day there's no place more beautiful. From Seattle in 1 1/2 to 2 hours drive a person could be sking on the mountain, or at one of the beautiful beaches. ÂÂ
keep that ship on course and headed  here!!  We're counting down the days.
Raydean
-
Better be a wal marrrrrrt ter plunder in puget sound!
-
Hey, Raydean, that's cool. Never have played with the images thing on google. Okay, now search there for Gig Harbor. That's a beautiful view also. Nice shot of Mt. Ranier. Thanks for introducing me to that feature. Never even looked at it.
Sue in Vancouver
-
Hi Sue and Laz
We must get more rain then you, plus I must be easily entertained!! Images will bring up pictures of most anything, even medical conditions. It's a cool feature that's fun to play around on. Especially on those long rainy days.
Counting down, just keep that ship on course!
Raydean
-
So PBW Crew--Be we goin' round the Horn or through the "ditch" (Panama Canal?)
Round the Horn we can stop at the GALAPAGOS play with some seals and big tortoises and such! It's a rough sail, though and fraught with Sea Monsters and Big Rogue Waves! EEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
Capt Deb
-
Yeah but what's really cool is google earth (google.earth.com) You can see your house from SPACE!
Or anyone else's . Hey we can see each other's house from space! All you need is an address! Keep a weather eye out fer each other and post Sea Monster warnings!!!! How cool izzat!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Captain Deb,
I trust your watching closely to be sure the Good Ship steers clear of Mr. Ernesto???????? We must make sure Batty Princess wench is on board as we sail away from Mr. Ernesto. He thinks he wants to go toward Florida. Is BP an inland or costal FL wench.
Makes a difference with them hurricanes. I onlyget piles of snow here. It's soft and fluffy. Doesn't hurt much.
My Fairy Zappin maching musta be working, feeling much better today. But I see a few posts back, The Evil Headache Fairy Swatter job has been changed to the Headache Fairy, like tinkerbell who is armed with an Imitrex injectable wand.
Yea!! Imitrex wand in one hand, Umbrelly drink in the other. Can life get and better??
Patti UT
-
Well, Miss Patty UT, we just need to get you a set of them big fluffy pink wings ter wear around the ship and YOU can be the official Evil Fairy/Jumbie/Demon Swatter! I just don't trust machines much. If you read through this thread, you will find several chants and rituals, moslty performed by our dear Master Laz. They musta worked because I'm feeling much better!!!!
"Swat Swat Go Away you stinkin' HEADACHE!!!!!" sez Miss Patty UT ( I pronounces it "patee-yootee.")

Hey Wenches and Scallywags!

Jeesh, Nate!!!
Don't all that spinnin' make ya dizzy?
Capt Deb 8)
-
As we left the bootiful waters of puget bay and head towards the bird island where our Captain parrothead can meet up with her ancestors!, as you may remember some pages ago, Capt Deb was hiding something behind her back. The wenches made her reveal a treasure map. This here treasure map be different than others coz there be some writing on it although X does mark the spot.
The Crew's getting nervous now as they think that the good Captain here is hiding something from them.
The Captain is starting to show some signs of stress (she is starting to malt) and is wondering how to get of this one when a loud explosion is heard coming from the cellar. Beauty says Capt Deb, a diversion.
The motley crew rush down to the cellar and see wires everywhere and two scallywags lying in a pool of rum that is 6 inches high. (need a photo puterologist) Our puterologist decided to replace the ship's sony battery before it spontaneously combusts and he chucked it in the boiler but unbeknown to him, our resident grogmeister had converted the old boiler into a still and was in the final stages of the process when the anti matter in the battery leaked out and combined with matter decided to have the 4th of July proceedings in August.
mmmm, thinks Captain Deb, what do i do with this here map?
stay tuned when we find out What does X mean on the map? Will Captain parrot shed her feathers and flee the coup? what will the crew do without their rum? is another mutiny about to appear?
stay tuned.

Ya know I keep a'tryin' ter do that lil dance video that Nate gots up in his avater place, but I keep fallin' over! She be way to small. Think I'll hafta go back to my Richard Simmonds "Cha-cha to the oldies" tape.

How are we supposed ter float around in crystal clear, warm blue water our innertubes with our brelly drinks in hand when there's snow around????
SNOW????? Yer Captain she very weary still from that sea Monster attack!!!! I went on for days and DAYS
And what about over the side wiv the scallywags whrt needs tre be checkin the impellers for the boiler. be coollin em down somhow!!!

Crew,
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l46/HeadCase2/Ramses.jpg)
Article from the AN Times
In a surprising development, Ramses II’s relocation last week turns out to have been part of his recovery from surgery for a Brain Tumor called an Acoustic Neuroma.. Ramses had apparently been in watch-and-wait mode for 3200 years, after consulting with Dr. Sue in 1200 BC. He had been heard to mutter, “It can stay there if it behaves itself�. It wasn’t clear if Ramses had chosen Radiation or Surgery for treatment. But the picture taken after his release from the hospital clearly shows a head wrap bandage indicating surgical treatment, along with a specially built walker to help Ramses with post-op balance issues. The special walker was required due to Ramses’ royal weight of 83 tons. World class royal neurosurgeon Dr. Awas, from the Pyramid Ear Clinic, along with Drs BattyPrincess, Laz, and Deb performed the operation after Ramses’ hearing and balance had quickly deteriorated over the last century. A full recovery is expected.

You guys are getting waaaaayyyy too clever!! I'm having trouble just accessing foodnetwork.com and Nate (who is, after all, a PC Tech) is putting whirlygigs and flying stuff all over the GM thread. I'm impressed. And I may be considered a Senior Citizen by some folks, but I was not, repeat, was not, a doctor 3200 years ago. At least I don't think so. But, really enjoyed the "article" anyway. You guys are hilarious!!

Oh Rob, that was hysterical!!!!!!!!! I loved it.
There's just way too much stuff moving on this page!!!!!!!! I'm gonna fall over or puke or both.

Well, shoot, it worked!! Don't puke Kathleen!!

Oh Boy! If the powers-that-be-ever delete this thread, I'm gonna be really upset. I thought it was gonna be a book, but with all these spinny whirly things..........
great physical therapy for the unbalanced wonkyheads in the crowd!

You are so sweet!  Mrs. Puterlogist is a very lucky lady ;)
Cheryl
-
Rob,
Ramses puts a whole new meaning on watch and wait. maybe in another 3200 years we might have a cure!!!!!!! however, this here chronologer thinks ya might need ta get some air out those vats. I think we ned to get our puterologist toa build ya a mechanical lifting device ta heave ya outa ya vats from time to time.
Oh, and ya makin me dizzy - I think ya need to get onto the giide dingy girly whirly coz that spins around and around and around (whoops, just feel off chair).
better do some work now (yuk). not many days to go now, I think the good ship PBW needs to start headin towards sunny Seeeeeatle again. Someone get the crankshaft out, hoist the mainzel, get the oars out, sober the crew, coz we are on a mission ta first do some wal mart plunderin and then to the secret rendezvous at Cutters on the harbour. But is that the X on the map?
stay tuned
-
Hey , Wenches and Scallywags and Picaroons (?)
Yer dear Captain here has found a boyfriend for the Pink Pug Pirate Princess!
(http://www.worth1000.com/entries/124000/124377PUWT_w.jpg)
Ain't he a stud????? I calls him "Ernesto" after the tropical storm headin' my way. Wonder if I'll recognize any of the Caribbean water as it falls on my head?

I'm fine Ernesto finally hit about 10 last night and is gone now..nice and sunny out. Looked outside and nothing is disturbed, no trees falling over not strange things floatin' in my yard. Lots of hype about nothing if you ask me!

due to technical difficulties, the chronologer of the goode ship PBW has been taken away by 3 men in white coats. He was last heard screetching the words "Kaplah", "beam me up", "It's life as we know it Jim". I'm sure that the chronologer will be released in due course.

Who's in the lookout tower for predatory sea monstors? I believe that these here waters are trecherous for those squirmy sad little beasties. Don't want to go back to the bermuda triangle.
On a brighter note: It's now 4.05pm on Friday and almost time to hang these fingers up fer the day and get into some real physical therapy - "elbow bending" with weights in each hand. (suggested weight is a tinnie)
'aveagoodweekend everyone - oh, whoops, ah, after tomorrow.
Oh, no brella drinks on board the goode ship PBW - it's a ruff and tumble Pirate ship. We goes pilleraging and plunderin - wese don't have time fer brella drinks! Sue wench - ye must be walkin the plank next fer yer softness!
Laz
-
Okay, rum and coke..no umbrelly. Jeeeezzzzz, Laz, ya ain't no fun at all. Did ya decide which route we be takin'? Short way or long way? Want to know if I need mosquito repellent or dramamine..ÂÂ
Okay, a poem. I slave over these and I'm thrilled when they at least rhyme! (sort of). Man, I'm glad I'm not going for a grade. ;D
The moon casts a silvery glow,
As the ship glides through the water,
Cap't Deb checks on her crew,
To see if they be were they oughter.
Laz huddles over his charts and maps,
Muttering to himself now and then,
Nate and Rob are passed out cold,
But Deb knows they're good men.
The wenches, sitting on the deck,
Giggle and whisper together,
Discussing chocolate and handsome men,
Deciding which one could be better.
Deb is happy for the peace and quiet,
Especially after the battle,
But now the crew must ready themselves
to visit the City of Seattle.

there be no plank walkin this night Buccaneers, lets sing a shantey dear sue has scribed, and ye may not be goin to davy jones tonight

With storm Ernesto overhead, I sang the following song :
The weather started getting rough,
the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
the BPW would be lost.
Rob
-
Sue I give you an A+++++ and since I be an educated teacher I can do that!!!

We after all have to look dainty in our pink pirate gear to make ourselves look presentable for the men until we snag them in our choccie!!!

-
Who is that devastatingly handsome new scally aboard the PBW???
Is it Erroll Fynn?? (I sailed his boat in the Virgins, rather his former boat--he had already passed on to scallywag heaven, and the captain of the "Scirrocco" said his ghost walked the deck at night and...well, long story!) Is it Tom Selleck?? Is it Johnny Depp?? Is it George Clooney??? Well.....who'n the blazes is it??????
Lemme lake a closer peek............................................... :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
OH!!! OH! OH! OH!

What have I been missin' by sailing me land yacht around the countryside???? The Capt'n Deb has chastised this crew member for not postin' lately so having received me 40 lashes, I stand here before the crew chastised! and back on line.
RTD
-
Welcome home, Road Trip, this here crew has been missin' ya sumthin' AWFUL!!! Could have used your cutlass in The Great Burmuda Triangle Sea Monster Battle!
Belly up ter the bar and have the GM mix yer up a nice grog-brelly drink.
Next stop, The Great Land of SEE- AT-ILLLLLLL!! Mini-International AN Convention there SOON! What's your take--Round the Horn or Through the Ditch?
Captain Deb 8)
-
RTD - 40 lashes not be enough. the true punishment will be dished out later but now we have a mission.
The goode ship PBW sets sail once again for that hidden treasure that Captain Deb has exposed the crew to. X marks the spot. Captain Deb has secretly engaged the goode dinghy girly whirly (which can't stop spinning) and is heading towards, towards, towards - yes, the best coast heading towards Seeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaatle - oopsie, chronologer is in deep do-do now with the east coast gang. Anyway, the wicked wenches spot this spining hunk o' timber in the distance and turns the PBW in chase.
What is the X on the map? Will Captain Deb ever get there after going around, and around, and around, and around, and around (Laz gets off floor after falling off chair from being too dizzy)? Will the crew of the PBW catch the speedy but wayward dinghy?
Stay tuned. SEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE here we come (well nearly).
p.s this chronologer would like to thank Captain Deb for the compliments made and is wondering how to pay her the $10 for the comments?
-
"X" = Kuwai, Hawaii? :D
-
Hawaii, or anyplace tropical that has a surf to wash away the ringging in our heads as we lie on the beach and sip umbrelly drinks.

How 'bout HERE!!!!!!!!!
Cinnamon Bay, St John--named after OUR Cinnamon, of course!

IT'S CUTTERS IN SEATTLE. That's where this goode ship PBW is a headin' and there be no questions asked or lashes they be.
This is the last post from the land down under until this chronologer goes back in time (I arrive in L.A before I leave Oz - go figure) and is in the land of glorious seafood - oh and lotsa cute wenches.
So as the goode ship PBW berths at Cutters, the plank is ready and....
stay tuned bucko's.

Safe journey mate!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear you arrived on the "blech" coast safe and sound! :)

It came to me in a dream last night (truly!). It seems to me that this goode ship is lacking in a His&HerStorian! How else do we record for posterity all the adventures and excursions and battles against the ornery sea monsters! As a former professional writer (just techie mumbo-jumbo; nothing interesting to these here wenches and scallywags), I would offer my services to the Bless'd Captain to serve aboard the PBW.
At your service,
Katie
-
*taps fingers on keyboard*
Me likey that idea! :)
Capt'n, do we have an official His/HerStorian?

How about this beach? In 1964 you could see the beautiful Royal Hawaiian Hotel. I was quite the celebrity for a while at Roseburg High School after I went to Hawaii for two weeks. It was kind of the rare thing then. Ahhhh, to be 18 again. Sorry this is so small.
Sue
-
Sue, did you grow up in Roseburg? I had a pen pal in High School from there.
-
Patti - Why does everyone keep saying there was a beach in that other picture ;) I better go look again
cheryl

Hi Kathleen,
Well, I sort of grew up all over the place, but I did end up going to high school there. My circle of friends and aquaintences is kind of small, but I have yearbooks if your pen pal was there in those early 60's years. Sue
-
Ahoy me hearties!
Looks like Miss Katiewench has found her a job on the PBW--we bin wonderin when you be gittin' ter work--bin sittin around drinkin alla them brelly drinks at the bar, have ye?

Oh an bye the bye--Our Ships 'Puterologist, Nate, has been photobucketing again! Lots of new pirate stuff, but HEY how about some pirate Wenches? They had girl pirates back in the day--I knew a few personally--Miss Anne Bonny for one and her friend Mary Reade--they was notorious pirates, but not as notorious as this group of scallywenches as is aboard the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench!!!
Lemmeesee....beach, beach, where's the sunny beach!!!

*walks over to Cap't Deb and sez* Cap't, ma'm, I was a thinking about what you said at one time about Humor in Uniform...no that's not right. Ah, Laughter is the Best Medicine..(and by the way, have you checked with Reader's Digest in case that's copyrighted?) and a thought or two came to me and it goes something like this...
            ÂÂ
*Lights dim, spotlight shines on Sue. Someone from stage right throws her a top hat and cane*
So what good’s a tumor
If ya can’t use some humor,
To get ya through the day or the niiiight?
We use a little laughter
A smile is what we’re after,
To make everything seem all riiiiiight.
We have a cyber Pirate Ship
And in her we can take a trip,
And visit every beach and cove in siiiiiiight.
Our crew is just the keenest,
Our Captain is the meanest
To cross her brings a hell of a fiiiiiight.
So what good’s a tumor
If ya can’t use some humor
And sing silly songs such as thiiiis?
I’ll tell ya what we’d do…
We’d just sit and stew…
And think of all the fun we would miiiiss.
Everybody!! *Wenches and scallywags join Sue for final chorus*
So what good’s a tumor
If ya can’t use some humor,
Ta get you through the day or the night?

Good one Sue!

Duncan, the 3 yr old now calls me Captain Deb, and we have pirate fights with leggo cutlasses but his Mom don't want him callin no one a slimey scallywag at pre-school,so I just taught him howta AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Capt Deb

Well, we just finished up Thing 2's first birthday party! I got him some blocks and such and for Thing 1, his big brother, I got him a Captain Jack Sparrow action figure,(as any good Grandma Pirate knows ya gotta get the other one sumpin as well,) but his Ma made me give up the lil cutlass in his hand as we don't need to eye patch on no kid right after he just had first birthday and hasn't even got to do any plunderin or nuthin'! Well the lil scallywag insists on callin me Captain Deb so I hadda make him walk the plank and then made the lil one crawl the plank!!
Wow are we havin fun now!!!
Grandma captain Deb 8)
PS I sung 'em both Vancouver Sue's song and they just loved it!!!

Not wanting to overrun Taylor's thread with another subject, something Kathy just said made me think....we need to coordinate which socks we're all wearing next Wednesday for Katie's surgery!!!! Katie, are you around?? Pink and black stripes, Pink with skull and crossbones, or black with skull and crossbones??? Take your pick!!!!
-
Captn' sounds like you're having a grand time!! Oops, I never thought about the mini wench going to school and callin another youngun' a scalawag LOL Guess if she does you know who will be in the dog house with her mom! LOL

[Katie pokes her head up amongst all the backpacks, clothes, papers, lunch boxes and all sorts of other back-to-school paraphernalia]
Yes, I'm here! Reporting for duty!
After many hours of testing this morning, the good folks at MGH have determined that I am healthy enough for surgery on Wed! Woo-hoo! I think it was the pirate dangly I was wearing that made me so. ;) (Though I did, in fact, have to explain that to the NP doing my pre-admission exam!) I myself have white socks with red skulls that'll be coming with me, so whatever you have that coordinates will do fine.
Though, really, are pirates supposed to worry about coordinating their outfits?!?!
[Katie dives back into the swirling eddy of life with small children]
-
SUE,
I love this!!! ;D
Do you have music to that toooo?????
My toes are tapping, my legs want to be dancin', my brain is cartwheelin' too!
Windsong
-
AAAAAHHHHHHH Katie, it's more about the extra super protective power we can send ya if we're all wearing the same socks!!! Now, you have to get word to us to let us know how you're doing as we won't take 'em off till we know it's OK!!! They can get pretty stinky fast!!!!
Really, good luck, I will be thinking about ya lots! You will do just fine!!!! If I can do it and be up and running 2 months later, so can you!!!!
-
Thanks, everybody, for liking my song! That was fun to do. I did have some sort of silly tune with it, and I "sang" it for my husband. ;D ;D Make up your own tune I guess!! Yes, I too was thinking....Princess Batty Wench, The Musical....
We are re-decorating our home office (read junkroom) and soon it will look like a real office. Just got the 'puter back. So back to painting. Later, pirates.
Looking forward to brunch in Seattle!! Can't wait.
Sue
PS If some big shot producer shows up in Philly (after you guys do the production ;)) ands says, "Kids, we can take this to Broadway, then I get some royalties!!"
-
puff, puff.
I's all walked out. Busy day today and sorry Capt. Didn't call ya coz didn't get time. Anyway, I will call tomorrow.
SEATTLE is a boooooooooooootiful city except, when this scallywag asked "where is the dunny"? I got a strange look. After some sign language (and we won't go there), it's called a restroom.
Anyway, the good news for the wenches is the choccies turned up.
See ya soon.
Laz (head drops onto keyboard and starts snoring).
-
Laz,
Went to the Mall and bought killer scallywench pants at J. Jill with a gazillion pockets for PHONE!!!
Can't miss your call this time unless I'm buck nekkid. Which I don't plan to be. Hope you are having a blast with the Trekkies in yer Klingon (Pirates of the Galaxy) duds. Kiss alla them wenches and scallywags fer me that you are SOOOO lucky to get to meet in person!

Captain's log--Stardate 09.10.2006
The Goode Ship princess Batty Wench enters Puget Sound-and low and behold--the entrance to the harbour is blocked by a bunch of TUGBOATS! Stop! Stop! their Captains yell--you can't enter the harbour--there has been a terrible accident!
"What kind of flippin' accident! We has hungry wenches and scallywags aboard and have reservations at Cutter's!"
"Well," one of the captains yells at Captain Deb," A Belgian Chocolate tanker has run aground and there is a major chocolate spill in the Sound! A Gazillion trillion gallons of Belgian chocolate, floating uncontained in the harbour!"
Well, the scallywenches and wags hear this and, zippity flip, with a splish and a splash, over they side they goes! A swimmin' and a splashin' towards the big chocolate spill in Puget sound--a swimmin' wiv their mouths wide open and drinkin' in a ton of smooth dark Belgian Choccie apiece!!
Captain Deb can't leave the ship a floatin around wiv no one at the helm and no crew to man the sails, so she flips them tugboats off but good, and drops anchor right in the middle of the Great Belgian Chocolate Spill of Puget Sound. It is a legend in the making. "Brown Sunday" they will call it forevermore.
She unshakles Dr. Love from her cabin so's he can zippity flip, with a splish and a splash over the side as well and join in the fun. Then she hops in the big brown mess and starts a drinkin in the choccie too. What fun we be havin' now! But UH-OH! How we gettin back aboard the PBW!!!
No one dropped the boardin' ladder! And it would BREAK anyhow gettin' all these scallies back aboard what wiv alla the choccie in 'em!! We has gots ter have someone ter winch us up on a halyard! And no one aboard!! What shall we do? Oh what shall we do???
Will the PBW crew be able to get back aboard?
Will they make their reservation at Cutters, or will the maitre d' give their table to the Holiday Inn full of surgeons? Or the Old Men in Tank tops who cruise the gift shops?
Stay tuned...........
Capt Deb 8)

Swimming in chocolate...how delightful. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Sue (glub, glub)

The motley crew have had a wonderful time at Cutters, sooooo many gorgeous wenches hitting Seeeeeeeeeeeeatle at once. This here scallywag had some good back up blokes which was a shame really! .. won't go there.
A great brunch had by all, many a tale told of all the other wenches (including the Capatain and cruise director). A fabulous day in this here dry city where it don't rain. Photos of the crew in front of the good ship PBW anchored in the middle of the harbour (by one dodo parrot Captain) forgettin the plank ta get back on board. Pics to follow at some stage.
Too much wacky weed fer da Parrot!

Next time you take one of your cruises could you make it as far as Australia. Would love to catch up. You sound as nutty as I am. I am even starting to understand the pirate talk.

well, if this *coff* sea-faring vessel is heading to the land of Oz, I am soooooooooooo there! :D
-
And let me tell you one more thing. That picture of Laz/Larry does not do him justice. He is a handsome scallywag and a right polite young man. I think this here GM thread brought out his alter-ego.

Hmmm....sumpin wiv "nutty" in the title, methinks.

After we's get rid of the evil coodoo headache wizard (found in Seattle and Vegas (pics to come soon) then we best be headin' ta the land down under ta pick up wenchette Chris (becomes a wench after initiatin' ceremony)
Now wench Sue, wtcha mean "alter ego" this is as sane as this scallywag gets!
The gatherin of the brunch group at Cutters was interesting - never heard the word "pardon" mentioned so many times.
Hey wench Chris, where ya be livin in Sydney town?
Laz

WOW he has a few wenches and scallywags in trainin' aboard!
Check this out-- http://www.talklikeapirate.com/ so's ye learn the lingo! And, bye the bye--the day is comin' up! Sept 19--mark yer calendars!!!! International Talk Like a Pirate Day!! (Although as alla us knows, especially Vancouver Sue, that everyday aboard the PBW be talk like a pirate day!!!)

It was interesting, trying to visit with lots of people and the noise level rising, and my tinnitus growing ever louder and I was trying to concentrate on each person to hear what they were saying. If my eyes glazed over and I said, "oh, uh huh..." to something that wasn't appropriate, then that was probably the reason. Pardon? What? Excuse me? Huh?
So, socks on tomorrow, and Talk Like A Pirate Day next Tuesday. And I actually read the first 20 pages of the Good Morning thread. Gadzooks, assignments and homework and foreign languages, and Caribbean geography Is there going to be a pop quiz? Pirate 101. Professor Capt. Deb at the helm. Do you grade on the curve, or what?
The photos are very nice. We look like a civilized lot, don't we? Fooled them!!
Cheers,

The good ship PBW is now off ta those very real settings of L.A!!!!, no plastic fantastics or falsehood there ;D
This here scally nearly went fer a sixer down that grand canyon (short drop ter thu bottom!) but alas, the dizzy spell stopped just in time.
stay tuned.

I am pretty good at the AAAAARRRRR already but will continue to practice at work as much as possible. I would like the job as protector of the alcohol on the cruise ship.Just don't trust me with your rum. If that job is taken I could be the ships mascot as I am a short arse. I actually live in Brisbane but had to go to Sydney because the specialists wouldn't treat me here with radiation. Brisbane will only treat up to 1cm. My specialist in Sydney is Dr Smee at Prince of Wales Hospital. I have just have another followup MRI in Brisbane and had to get the results sent to Dr Smee as my Brisbane specialist broke his collarbone and the hospital doesn't have anyone else to refer us to. Brisbane is a great place to live. Much better than Sydney lol, just don't get sick here.
-
Well, Chris, we has a grog meister, a Mr. Headcase, but it's pretty obvious he ain't so good at protectin' it! Now yer fearless Captain be the Designated Driver, so meself ain't the problem, it be the rest o' these scallywags and wenches. So attention PBW crew--we now has a Protector of the Grog now so SHAPE UP!!!! We might need a few extra cutlasses fer this here job as they be a thirsty bunch. ;)
Our ship's Chronologer, who is now Lost in America, has a Repeat Offender >:( a'growin in his noggin' and thinks he is gonna go the Zappin' Route, so's yer Zappin' experience may be a bit beneficial to the bloke! Glad you are here, Chris-wench official Protector of the Grog aboard The Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench!!
Now, you will hafta message me your address so's I can send ye yer Official Uniform!!!
Now we gotta set sail for the Great Towne of Boston in the Wild Territory of Mass-ay-choooo-sitts for to break Miss Katie-wench outta the Sick Bay up there.
No she ain't in the looney bin, she has had her First Offender scooped out!
Physical Therapy time aboard the PBW!!!!! Get out the Phone Booth!! That is after a few weeks o' us waitin' on her hand an foot and meetin' her every need!! Milk it for all it's worth is what we does here. Massage the neck, rub the feet, open the chocolate, bring on the drugs!
Welcome aboard Miss Chris-wench and feel better Miss Katie-wench!!
Capt Deb 8)

Chris, you have a doctor named Smee? Does anyone else remember that Captain Hook's side-kick was Smee? ;D ;D

 We definitely need more help protectin' the Grog.
 The last wretch who tried to raid the Grog room came in looking like this:

As the new protector of the grog I must let you know that physical violence is not necessary....bribes are happily accepted. Depending on the exchange rate I may even accept American cash.
-
heck, when Cheeky Bloke arrives here in 3 weeks, he'll take our American dollar over the Brit GBP anyday! :D
-
Cap'n Deb,
Is the Goodship almost to Boston yet??? I thinks we send in the grovin scallyway to break Katie outa da hospital!!
If she's like the rest fo us right after surgery,, she'll be seein 2 grovin scallywags.
Patti UT
-
Or 4 or 6 groovin' scallywags! Does anyone have one of those "Dragonfly" spyglass thingies that makes yer see about a hunnert of something? I have a real nice laminated wood one in a velvet box. Thing 1 has one and it's his pirate spyglass. I likes ter get it out and look through it from time ta time just to remind myself how far I've come since wakin' up from my surgery and seeing 6 or 7 Dr. Loves a'circlin' around the room!!! :o :o
Capt Deb 8)
-
I forgot to mention that the grovin' scallywag is from the West coast, which kind of explains everything.

GM Headcase--love yer new avatar--reminds me of a boat I usta work as a deckhand/cook on--105 feet of scrubbin, sandin' and varnishin! AAAAAH them was the days fer this old sea-dog. Lemeesee an old female sea dog would be called a sea b****! Well, shivver me timbers!

Well, you mighta met 'im, but I took 'im HOME! (Pre- Dr. Love, that is!!!)

Speaking of dancing scallywags, while in Boston picking up Katie wench, we need to start planning our pearly girl's bachelorette party ;)

I wonder if the groovin' scallywag has anything velcro??? :o He sure has some good moves!! :o Lemmeesee I've seen a policeman, an EMT, an Indian, a cowboy, but no, no, I don't ever think I've seen a Pirate do the "velcro dance!!!" :o :o :o

Patti - I've never made a snowman :( can I come over PLEASE?
cheryl
-
Patti!! We (DW and I) were in Silverton CO yesterday and the flurries were flying. We've gotten a lot of (Splenda?) (we call it Sneet) above 11,000 feet, but its starting to creep down the ole' Mountain side. Road Trip may have to abandon the area sooner than planned. The Rock Star Bus doesn't stay very warm in the (Splenda).
RTD
-
Cheryl,
Never made a snowman??? Well, growing up at the beach in So Calif I hadn't either. Been here 18 yrs now, ready to get back to the beach. C'mon over, we can make a grovin scallyway snowman, we can make him real cute. Don't know how we'll put the velcro on him though.. Ummmmm Deb, where does the velcro go??????
Road Trip,
Sorry the spleda is spoilin yer good time. 11,000 ft, wow! Does the altitude bother you? Sure gets to me. I tend to think the barometric pressure drop with the storms bother me more at the higher altitude.
C'mon down off that mountain and back onto the PWB, time to get ourselves to a beach
We should be dancin' (grovin)
Patti UT
-
The only "sneet" I want is in my (virgin) Pina Colada! The only brelly I want is the one stickin' up outta me drink!!! AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hey Laz!!!!

He better be ter be here on this ship wiv alla these here Wenches! Close quarters, they be! Any non-sweeties we just chuck over the side! Unless they're total hunks. Then we just get out the duck tape. Seen and not heard, I sez!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Laz barely opens eyes and moans of a sore back (ah, from lifting them heavy suitcases fulla pirate treasures from Seattle)
Must say that the wenches on the west coast are pretty special. This here scally gots loads of smootchies so am thinkin we best have a brunch every month! I might need to do some more plunderin or the mean spirited bank manager may get a bit upset.
Cheryl - I'll gives ya the $10 for the compliment later :D
Yeah, I think the good ship PBW needs ta be headin over Boston way as patti yooooooooooteeeeeeeeeeee suggests both for Katie and for the girly whirly.
Hey Ms parrot, I reckon that we have a wedding on the good ship PBW and as a Captain, you can do the honours.
A Pirate wedding it shall be.
Stay tuned for a journey to not forget.
-
Yay, Larry made it home safe and sound!! I bet your family and friends are getting an earful about the gorgeous United States of America, West Coast version. Hope you had a wonderful trip and that you got your fill of Federation, Vulcan and Klingon stuff to last awhile.

I want my swap to be a mean one too and of course I better be placed in a mansion with servants. (cute male one's of course)

Know why they don't do "husband swap?" The one who got Dr. Love wouldn't give him back!!!
Capt Deb 8)

Too Much Estrogen floating around here this morning...com'on matey's where's the Scallywags!
Altitude doesn't seem to bother me, but when the weather changes I can really feel it on the former AN side. The San Juan Mountains are covered with snow and its beeeee-uuuteeeefullll! I love this country, however, its just about time to head for Margaritaville! Sand, Sea, mama, and me, sippin' tequila daquiri's!

I hope she dint bite ya when ya pulled it outta her a**!! )Oh, it's a wing feather? sorry)
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!
[/size]
Sorry, but the TimTams didn't make it to the feeezer without me openin- 'em and eating a few---OK not a few. They are in the freezer NOW!!!!! I'm hidin' 'em from Dr. Love.
Tim Tams are great for Parrot Heads, as they actually they have a picture of a parrot eatin' one on the package!!!! Yippeee! Tim Tams!!!
Thanks, Laz!!!
Thanks Genny and Gennysmom!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
OK, I just had a FROZEN Tim Tam. I just about passed out from the deliciousness!!! Looks like I won't be posting for a while until I recover from the EUPHORIA of having a frozen Tim Tam!! Also I'll be busy packing my bags for the move to Australia.
Sorry,
Capt Deb 8)
-
Yeah, I've always wanted to go to Australia. The Tim Tams didn't make it to the freezer! Nice of you to do that Larry. Thank you, again. See, you ARE a sweetie. (Do I get $10, too?)
Sue
-
Laz got me hooked on Tim Tam's and we ordered some online as soon as we got back home.
Apparently there is a another special way to eat them (according to my son)  Small bite off each end and use it like a straw to sip a cappucino or espresso. Frozen sounds yummy too!
Cheryl
-
Well, methinks we better stop at Lord Nelson's dockyard on the Island of Antigua for to sister up some o the ribs on this vessel! (Google that one, landlubbers) She'll be carrying some extra weight once we plunder the Tim Tam Factory in the Land of Downunder on the way to New England to pick up Katie-wench! Yes we are taking the western route back to the l'east coast. Just like Capt Cook!!!
Capt Deb 8)

Well, I hope everyone's ready for Sept 19--International Talk Like a Pirate day!!!!

So where are my Tim Tams Larry. You don't expect me to walk all the way to the local shops to buy some do you?? AAAAAAARRRRRR
-
Paul, my other half, just told me to tell you I had a packet of Tim Tams in the fridge but didn't feel like eating them so I threw them in the bin. How nasty is that!
-
I've been so busy doing email control I can hardly get to this site anymore!!!!!!
Genny was nice enough to give out feathers to the breakfast in Seattle folk....too bad Laz couldn't travel with his back out of the country. I figured Genny feathers are perfect for our pirate hats!!!
I need some more Tim Tams....maybe that's why I'm sick!!! Except....mom got me some Neuhaus for my birthday (Belgian chocolate)...anyone ever had that? I tried it when I went over there this summer and it is divine....yummmmmmyyyyy!!!!!
-
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Chris, ye being sacreligeos and all that - throwing out Tim Tams AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR It's walk the plank for ye miss wench but not before I's email ya and find out how you found the GK treatment coz I think I have that a comin.
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR - threw out the Tim Tams - geesh.
There is some logic to why Chris did that of course - she's a banana bender - (those foolish people who decide to live in Queensland - actually, not too many bananas to bend at the moment).

AAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
The throwin' out of the TimTams be kindred ter chuckin' the grog overboard!!!!!!!!

Capt,
 Sorry ye haven't heard from me in the last few days. Please don't keel-haul me. I fell overboard after getin' inta the grog and wanderin around on deck.  I though I was marooned forever, until a passing cruise ship came by. I had to swim out to it and clamber aboard. They tried ta fend me off with their noise cannon, but I just turned me deaf ear toward em and kept on boardin'.
 While on that ship, I commondeered a medical crew for the PBW. I asked if'in they could treat recurrent AN, and they says they know about cuttin' and burnin' and stuff.  Here's a picture of em.
Happy TLAP day,
Rob

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH Ain't they a buncha cuties! I like the hammerhead shark guy. Glad I already got rid o' my Dreaded AN! If it come back, one look at that bunch will scare it right outta my head! That could become the new technology in the AN war--scare tactics!!!
I been wonderin what become of ye Headcase, ye scurvey cur! We gots loads a thirsty wenches aboard this here vessel and we're settin' sail fer the South Seas ter plunder the Tim Tam factory in the Land of Downunder. What kinda blender-sport drink goes with Tim Tams? (none fer me, I be the designated driver)

Ahoy, ya bunch of flea-bitten, rum soaked scallywags and wenches. It's Scurvy Sue, tryin' ta talk like a Pirate. I'm givin' it tha best shot off the forward bow, so to speak. Just wanted to wish you all the best on Talk Like A Pirate Day. Local Pirates are having a party at Salvador Molly's, a fun place that features grub from places Pirates used to be - Caribbean, S. American, and such. Wish I could go there tonight in honor of all of the scurvy lot of you, but can't make it this year. But I may just have meself a nice rum drink in honor of the day and keep ya in my thoughts as Pirates around the world celebrate the romance of a bunch of psycho misfits that ran amuck on the high seas. God luv 'em! And lets lift a tankard to Errol Flynn and Johnny Depp, two of the best Pirates to sail the seven seas.
Good sailing to all!
Scurvy Sue

Back in me younger days when I be but a Sea-Pup (as opposed to the Sea-you-know-what that I be now) I did a bit o' crewin and cookin aboard Captain Errol's boat, the Sirocco. 60 or so feet o' pure wooden beauty she be and cut the water like a knife! O'course he were long gone by then, but of a beautiful moonlit night, yer could hear his bare-footsteps paddin' on the deck above ye!
So I hoist me a cup a tea ter Catain Errol and..OOOPS! Shivver me timbers!--got a chunk o' Tim Tam wedged in me keyboeard! Wait a sec whilst I prize it out......there.....anyways....what was I sayin' --Oh yeah--hoist one ter Captain Errol and munch on ME VERY LAST TIM-TAM fer Capt Johnny alias Captain Jack Sparrow!!!

Man the guns ya wicked wenches and scallys coz it's a piratin' we be doin - sealegs rosie, mad parrot, mad yooooteee - geesh, not very scary fer wenches. We needs names like Capt deadly, maulling matti, yadonwannamesswithyootee. Them be more pirate names

Yo, Laz!
All the crew went to this here website to find their pirate name.
www.mess.be/pirate-names-female.php
I went there and chose the male alternative and put in your name. It came up
Swashy Jonathan! Me thinks you'll not like that one! Ha
Sue
-
Swashy Jonathan - that there be a girlie name - not fer this here scally.
It be larrikan Laz!
-
I didn't really throw out Tim Tams so please don't make me walk the plank. I haven't bought any for ages so maybe I should make that short walk to the local shops soon. Which ones should I buy? Double choc, original, dark, tia maria etc. What a sea b@#&h I am! As for you Larry, you got it right when you said people choose to live in Brisbane. You can't help it if you had no other choice than to live in Sydney lol. GK, is that what they call it here?
-
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Chris wench - I'll leave it up to the Capt mad parrot whether ye must walk the plank or not. The bird is pretty mean although sending her some cyber tim tams may save the day.
Laz
-
DARK CHOCOLATE TimTams? :o They make DARK CHOCOLATE ONES??????? Why one could have a multiple TimTamgasm with one of those babies!!!!!!!!! Tia Maria????? I need a complete list of the breeds of TimTams so I can buy a few cases!!! Unless I decide to move to the Land of Downunder!
Capt "Mad Deb" 8)
-
I must ask (I tried to search first to no avail) what does the PBW stand for???
And what are Tim Tams??? ???
-
Well, hello Miss Laura Wench! I'm afraid the secrets of the PBW are revealed only to those who care to sign on board! This thread will reveal it's secrets if you read it from the beginnin'! Should only take you a few weeks!
Just kiddin', PBW stands for Princess Batty Wench which is the name of this here vessel that you be standin' on. Now where that name came from, or where we've been or who's on board and what their crew position is, well, it's a long story--about 85 pages worth of long story, so pull up a chair and go make yerself a cuppa something and start readin'! Be sure to tie yourself to the chair as folks has been known to fall outta it laughin at some of the antics of this here motley crew!
Enjoy!
Capt Deb(http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n26/nathangammons/battyprincess.gif)
-
Oh, you'll hafta ask Laz what TimTams are, Or Chris. They be the "Keepers of the TimTams."
Capt Deb 8)
-
Laura wenchette,
Tim Tams are the most delicious chocolate biscuit ever to be produced from the land down under. Beware they are addictive and great for the love handles.
You can buy them on line at http://www.about-australia-shop.com/timtams.htm. I think World Market might stock them - but not sure.
They come in lotsa floavours including double chocolate. But the best ones are the originals.
They are best eaten from the freezer.
Laz
-
LAZ..........
MIGHT BE KINDA COLD EATING TIMTAMS FROM THE FREEZER. 'FRAID I MIGHT BE GETTIN TOO FRIGID IN THERE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A TIMTAMGASM. AFTER EATIN' SOME OF THEM, LOVEHANDLES MAY BE GETTIN' TOO BIG TO BE FITTIN' IN THE FREEZER. lol
PATTI YOOTEE
STILL HAVEN'T MADE IT TO WORLD MKT TO LOOK FOR THEM
-
I wondered about that eatin' em from the freezer, too! So I ate the whole box with just my head stuck in it!
Capt Deb 8)
-
I think we need to rename the goode ship PBW to the insane asylum for wenches. As one very prominant and now deceased Aussie used to say "Cor Blimey"
Laz
-
:P Looks like I'm going shopping for some Tim Tams... With all the wonderful reviews it sounds like I'd be cheating myself if I didn't try them!
-
Tim Tams are hard to find in CA >:( I checked Cost Plus World Market and other specialty stores with no luck. I finally ordered them online from some place in Texas. I've got 5 packs arriving in 2 days, if you come over I'll be glad to share them.
Hey Laz, thanks for getting me addicted. With our indulgence of Tim Tams, I think we will be needing a bigger ship ;)
Cheryl
-
Good Mornin' Crew....celebrated me birth day, yesterday without any Tim-Tams! What can I say?.....I chose Margaritas and some Rum drink made with Parrot juice. Put my name in the Pirate generator and became "Mad Ivan!" How they got that out of Dale beats me but it beats "Daley Baby!" A neighbor who didn't respect her elders used to call me that!
I had Tim-Tams while in Perth one time, tasty but I don't recall having a TimTamgasm...actually I don't remember having anything like that in a long time ;D
RTD (Mad Ivan?)
-
Dale,
Careful, you may be keel- hauled for talking about drinking Parrot juice. Pirates usually like Parrots.
Regards,
Rob - GM

Had some timtams yesterday, they are wonderful. :-* Now my chocolate addiction is in full swing this morning....had some nutella on a bagel. Will be having some timtams shortly. :o
Cheryl -got my timtams at World Market yesterday here in Phx. Surprised yours doesn't have them too.
-
The package at World Market doesn't say Tim Tams. It just says Arnott's and the flavor of chocolate biscuit.

Well I just hate alla ya!! Seems everyone has TimTams but ME!!!!!

WAAAAAH!!! :'(
Guess I'll hafta get me some online!!! I want the dark choccie ones and the Tia Maria ones!!! We has got to eat 'em in honor of the late great Mr Erwin, indeed a true scallwag if there ever was one!!
Hey Miss Laura! If you wants ter be one of this motley crew yer'll be needin' a uniform!!! Ye'll hafta message me your home addy and I'll sends ya one, right wenches? Be there any wenches or scallys out there what doesn't have one? Headcase, did I send you one? There's been so many sent out, I has just lost track!!!
Parrot Juice? Crickey! What's that! Maybe I don't wanta know.
Everyone have a great day including ME (which would be greater if I had me some TimTams)
Oh by the way, Is anyone aboard a carpenter? We be needin' to sister up the ribs and enlarge the cabin doors on this vessel after we plunder the TimTam factory in the land of Downunder!
Captain Deb 8)
-
Yes, No juicing of parrots!!!!!!!  That's not very nice.
I just finished a box of Neuhaus chocolates off, they're Belgian, and I had them when I was recently over there.  We found a Neuhaus kiosk in Seattle, so I should be weighin' another stone or two here soon.  If you can get ahold of some of those, I'd reccomend them.  They're more popular over there than the other Belgian brand, Godiva.
-
I'm gaining weight just reading all this... I'll be scared once I receive my TimTams.
Thanks for the invite Capt. Deb - I wanna be a wench! (My hubby already thinks I have a nack for it sometimes ;)) I'll send you my address... what kind of uniform? Does it have something to do with socks? LOLWell I just hate alla ya!! Seems everyone has TimTams but ME!!!!!

Golly - I'm trying to read all 80+ pages of this thread but I can't keep up. It would be nice if there were a feature where I could email it to myself; then I could print it and take it with me. I bet my boss would appreciate that since it would allow me to get some work done - oops! ;D
-
:o :o :o OMG - I found the print button... This thing is 244 pages. I'm off to the supply room for a ream of paper!
-
AAAAAAARRRRR!!!!! Looks like we has a novella on our hands here!! 244 pages? I thought it was 85 pages. I guess Wench and Scallywag pages are like dog years!
Welcome aboard Miss laura Wench! Now, have ye given any though to yer job description? We all has 'em! Puterologist, chronologer, cruise director, keeper of the olives and picked onions, grogmeister, etc. just gotta think of what suits ya!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Shoegirl - You just made my day ;D Thank you!!! I called my world market again and this time asked for Arnott's and YES! they have em. When I called the other day, I asked for Tim Tam's.
Thank you Suzanne!!!!
Welcome aboard Wench Laura!!!
Happy Belated Birthday Dale!!! (Sept. 20th is my son's birthday as well)

Didn't Arnotts get sold to America??

All this talk of Tim Tams. To paraphrase our latest spam thread, " How you will concern to if your pirate very much will grow stout?"
Regards,
Rob
PS World Market also has several kinds of hard to find dark chocolate. My favorites are Santander (70%) from World Market, and El Rey from Whole Foods.

I finally figured it out about the Tim Tams and why pirates like 'em so much!
They be made by AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRnott's!!!

;D Too Funny!!!!
I've been thinking about my "job title". I would like to be activities coordinator... I've got all kinds of fun activities lined up...
Sea-leg sack races
Walk the plank diving contest
Pillaging paaaarrrrrty
Scurvy sing alongs
“Jolly Rogers� pig roast
and how about a grog guzzle fest!
Any takers????
-
Laura wench,
Don't forget the velcro fer us Wobbly AN Pirates, wouldn't want nun us us goin' overboard while doin them activities.
(see "velcro stations" somehwere in the GM thread, maybe pg 15-20 or so.)
Patti UT
-
How about assistant cruise director? Our Cruise Director is on hiatus due to some time and personal issues and we neeeeeeeeds ter have some fun around here!!!!!!
Blender Sports Fest?
Tim Tam Tug-o-War?
Capt Deb 8)
-
Sounds great - accepted. However, I must admit I'm rightly scared over the TimTam Tug of war. It's hard to tell how many hands will be chewed to pieces! Once you wenches get though with each other we might have to order some more "hook hands".
We will have to order stock in vel-cro! ;)
-
Apart from Tim Tams being good for you did you know that, if you break them in half before eating them, half the calories fall out. It's true. Would I lie to you. Can I send you some Tim Tams Capt Deb or is that a quarantine no no?
-
Well, Chris wench--we can exchange home addys as I have a goody fer you as well! If you send TimTams I may sure need what ever that Spammer is selling regarding the too much stout wife! I promise to break them in half. I just need to know which half retains the calories so I can feed that half to Dr. Love and eat the half with the NO calories meself!! Dyin' ta try the dark choccie ones!!

(as you can tell by this recent pic, I need to fatten up a bit!)
-
I sent you my address via email last week Capt Deb. I will do it again incase it did not go through.
Larry, I found out we do not have Gamma Knife in Australia either but the treatment here is similar.
Regards
Chris
-
I forgot to mention the most important thing. When you break the Tim Tam the calories fall out both sides so you don't have to worry about which half to eat. Works the same way for biscuits too.
-
Chris--just click the little IM thingy below me name to send an IM via the forum message thingy. I'll be sure to get it. I sent mine that way just now!

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! to alla ye wenches and scallywags!!!!
Well, Yer dear Captain here has made the appointment ter go inter the Big Magic Rum Barrell ta get a picture taken o' the inside of me noggin'!! It's been almost 4 years since I had me Dreaded AN scooped our by them nice fellers in Lalaland, and it's time ter see if they done their job right!!! Besides, I used up the insurance deductible and it be waaaay less pricey this year than next, when it's really supposed ter be. Gotta work the system, ya know! I goes in next Monday and I'll be a'needin' LOTS of Hugs and Smoochies as I'm a little nervous about the whole thing. I gots very squirrely veins and gettin them contrast shots is tough--I just usually start screamin' fer the best sticker in the place!!! They makes me take the big hat off too(see photo at left) which I don't like atall!!!
Now, I know I ain't havin' surgery or nothin' but this here be a request fer the wearin' o' the special magic pirate sox. I'm givin' yer advance warnin' so's yer can get them ter the ship's laundy so they be all clean and shiney and whatnot. So pry yer butts offa them barstools and drop 'em in the hamper!!! They've had a lot o' use lately fer Ellen and Chopper and Taylor and lil' Miss Chelsea.
So anyway, that's what's happenin' with yer Dear Captain.
Capt Deb 8)
-
Aye, aye, Cap'n! Guess that means I'll be having to make my hubby do the laundry this weekend! ;)
Katie
-
Got it Captain! I think it's a fine time to start wearing the fine shirts that we've been supplied with too!!!!!! I have to get one of those soon as well, but luckily my veins aren't so squirrely....but that stuff is cold and feels yucky!!!!!!
-
I'll get all decked out in my fine pirate gear for ya Captain.ÂÂ
I know how you are feeling, I have had 8 MRI's for this blessed AN >:( and I still get nervous and worried and stay that way until I get my results. My husband tells me I am not very pleasant to live with during that time period :P
I got my order of Tim Tam's today. I bought regular and also the double coated chocolate. OMG! FABULOUS!!!! (Thanks Laz for getting my hooked)
cheryl
-
Good luck Capt Deb. Luckily you haven't had a big supply of Tim Tams otherwise you wouldn't fit in the machine.
-
Pirates don't have to wash no clothes LOL We're suppose to be stinky according to that one family..heck and have fleas too! Things will be fine Captn'...hoping they send the cutest best sticker for ya! :-*
-
Pirate gear on Monday....check!!

Good thoughts for Capt. Deb on Monday...check!!
Sue

Good luck Capt. Deb!!! Be sure to share your results but I'm sure everything will be wonderful!
I also emailed you my address last week but I'll try the IM logo and see how that works.

Woe is US!!! Oh, WOE IS US!!!!!

Now, Yer dear Captain be the one who keeps the Wenches and Scallywags in line, but it be our dear Laz, what keeps Captain Deb in line!!! Shivver me timbers, I can feel meself gettin outta line already!!! Help! Help! Someone get me back in line!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!
I guess I'll hafta pull out a Jumbie ritual for the dear old scally-bloke!!
* mixes up the time-homored concoction of lime jell-o, motor oil, and ketchup----tears open favorite pillow on top of favorite shower curtain, strips nekkid and smears concoction all over self, rolls in feathers till completely covered (thank god for that!) and begins to chant: *
Inky stinky di-ya--ree-ah!
We don't want no noo-moan-eee-yah!!!
Send that Jumbie straight to he**!!
We want Laz to be all well!!!!!!!
Will keep doing this until I hear from Laz that he's BETTER!!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
The thought of Capt Deb smothered in goo and feathers while chanting should be enough to heal you. Careful though, those feathers might start to fall off. Get well quick Laz.
-
Noo-moan-yaaaah is yucky Laz; I'm so sorry to hear you are under the weather!!!! I had it back in Feb and had to be hospitalized for a week. Take care of yourself and do as your doctors say and you should be feeling well soon. Remember to take deeeeeep breaths to help clear that yuck out of there!
-
WOWEE, Am I TIRED!! I've been at this ritual, a'dancin' and a'chantin' all night!!! The feathers did start to fall off! Thank god I had a bunch o' extra goo mixed up and a spare pillow!!! Poor Dr Love dint get a wink o' sleep what with all the racket I been makin'!! Good thing we're anchored out in the middle o' the woods with no neighbors. I even added to the ritual by gettin' me biggest cook pot outta the pot locker and I stole Gennysmom's Tater Spoon/Bad Nurse Whapper and commenced to whappin' on the pot along with the chantin' and danciin' around!
Hey! I think I lost about 5 pounds and it has improved my balance a whole bunch--all this hoppin' around on one foot!!! Can't stuff yer face whilst doin' all this activity!!!
I even picked up some moves from the groovin' scallywag. O' course I been doin' this a long time, ever since I was a lil' wenchlet! See?
(http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n26/nathangammons/baby-14.gif)
This here's a home movie taken by me Pappy!!!!
I'm still waitin' ter hear from ya Laz!!!! My feet are gettin' tired!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Laz,
It sounds like the wenches were a bit hard on you when you visited. I hope you're starting to feel better. See if this will help, I found it at the back of the keg room. In the US, a common home remedy for cough is made from Whiskey, honey, and lemon juice. If it's not helping the cough, keep taking swigs until you forget why you needed it.
Regards,
Rob

Methinks we has lots o' LURKERS!!!!!! HEY YOU, LURKERS, WE SEE YOU!!!!!!
Boy I hope Laz logs on soon--I can't let up on the dancin' or the chantin' til he DOES!!! Wheew!
Me legs is crampin' and I about broke Gennysmoms Spoon and me pot is all dinged up!!!!!! And I'm runnin' outta GOO!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Not only over 20,000 views, but this is post #1,314.
Quick!!!!! Deb needs more GOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should have a Genny feather now, just hold it and make 3 counterclockwise circles in the air while chanting "GOO, GOO, GOO!!!!!!!!"
-
Whilst I am chanting for Laz, I thought of a little poem to help Capt. Deb on Monday. I will NOT, repete, NOT, attach feathers or goo on Monday!! :o I shall wear socks however. Seems like they should do the trick. ;D Sue in Vancouver
The MRI Blues
I contemplate
My unknown fate,
To see if it’s decided,
If my AN has subsided.
Nothing to say,
I just quietly lay,
And wonder if my brain,
Won’t make me insane.
I start to think,
Can I even blink?
Do they see me in this tube?
From their far away cube?
I am going crazy,
Everything is hazy,
This is absolutely no fun!
They are here…
It is done.
-
Sue that is good - something I'm sure we can all relate too!
Capt Deb - good luck on Monday!
-
LOL havn't seen the dancing baby in a while. Deb, me thinks me needs to start the chant dance with ya if ye be loosing 5 lbs overnight. 'cept no goo and feathers fer me. hope Laz is doing better.
love the poem Sue, kinda says it all. Them guys in their cube don't "get it" either. When cap'n Deb shows up monday with her piratude, they'll start to figure out that their big machine is really a big a rum barre. Maybe they can pipe in some of Sue's songs and poems fer Deb to listen to while soaking in the rum barrel.
Patti UTl
-
patti-yootee,
It don't really work without the goo or feathers.
Sue--alias PBW Poet Lorry-ate, Thanks fer the rhyme--you are the cleverest poet lorry-ate we've ever had aboard!
Still no word from Laz! Wheew, I'm gettin' tired!
Getting very tired
The last time I danced the skin offa the bottoms of me feet like this was on a moonlit Saturday night at Canegarden Bay, Tortola, with Dr. Love!

Sue - I love it!!
Where are ya Laz ??? Geez, what did us Best coasties do to ya while you were here
cheryl
-
Thank you! Deb, you can sing the "humor...tumor..." song while ya lay there in the giant rum barrel.
Wow, I just love the dancing graphics. My poor computer would probably blow a gasket if I tried to do anything that fancy!! Really cute. :D
Our poor Laz is recovering nicely I hope. Let's just blame the airline for this and not the West Coast. Dr. House on "House" just said, "stay off planes, they are flying cesspools." So there you go.
Hey anybody watching Survivor?? Did ya see the Vietnamese guy get rid of the headaches? Thought of all you headache sufferers out there in AN land, and wondered if he might be of some help.
Vancouver Sue
-
About the graphics--I steal 'em right from Nate's Photobucket site! I just cut and paste the code into the message--he said it was OK.
http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n26/nathangammons/?start=all
All kinds of cool stuff, has that puterologist of ours!!!!! He's AWOL right now--just moved and is busy unpacking and whatnot!
Laz!! OH Laz!!!!! Where ya be!!!!!???????????
-
So where is Nate??? havn't seen him posting in a while. We miss you nate, sending you good thoughts, hope your doing well.
Patti UT
-
You had better get well quick and come back to us Laz. Your wenches are getting restless and there is nothing worse than a bunch of restless wenches, especially the ones who chant & dance all day.
-
Sue - I've been watching survivor and amazed at how he gets rid of headaches. I see he leaves a nasty looking bruise on the forehead, but hey, I'll take that over a headache anyday.
cheryl
-
Ya know after all the years of headaches I've suffered I've tried all kinds of tricks..I'm sure that what he does works but geesh does he have to mark them? I'm thinking the head massage thingy would be good and it YUL did it instead of Coi Boa I'd enjoy it more :o
-
I GUESS I WILL NEED TO WATCH SURVIVOR NEXT WEEK IF THEY NOW HAVE A HEADACHE WIZZARD ON THERE.
PATTI UT
LOOKS LIKE THE PBWIS HEADIN FOR PHILLY IN JULY '07 FOR THE SYMPOSIUM TO JEFFS PARENTS HOUSE

And me with my newbie uniform - just in time.
Thanks Capt. Deb!!!!!! :D

Yes, Cool Yul!! Coi Boa (Do they call him Cowboy, or is that how his name is pronounced?) is interesting, tho. In recent years I've told anyone who washes my hair to be careful around the temples (and now I realize it was mostly my AN side!) since it was sensitive. So when he did all that manipulation on their heads, I just thought it would hurt me.
Vancouver Sue
-
I think it's "Cao Boi" and is pronounced the way it's spelled--a double entendre. And I don't want him to pinch me!! If anyone pinches me it will be Dr Love and it won't be on the forehead!!!! Ouch! OOOOOOOHHH!!!!!
LAZ-- WHERE ARE YE, YE SCALLYWAG!!!!
[/b][/i][/size]
Capt Deb
-
Yes, where is Larry??
I am afraid the Goode Ship PBW is languishing off the coast of Washington state, trying to get to Boston. Oh, yeah, and our Captain was all oiled up :o, feathers sticking out all over, and beating on a drum. This is really hurting my tinnitus, so we need to get on with the journey and quit with the drumming and chanting already. Wenches and Scallywags are out in the dinghy fishing, so's we can have something to eat. This is getting a wee bit tiresome. Laz needs to get out of sickbay, with Doc McCoy (Jim! I think Laz is better!!) and get back to his telling of the tales of the Princess Batty Wench. I'm getting bored.
Vancouver Sue
PS
I have considered putting "She's dead, Jim." on my tombstone, if I decide to go that route. (Be buried, I mean...I think I have to "go that route" eventually... ;D)
-
Thansk to ye all for the well wishes.
I've been rather knocked rotten somewhat from this 'ere neeeemonnia.
Deb, ya can stop the foot stompin' now.
It was a pretty awful process to go through. It was actually caused by Indian food which we went out for. It didn't agree with my innards and after the meal I couldn't stop burping. Then i'd start coughing non-stop and starting choking and couldn't breathe too well. Went off to the "quack" who said "it's just reflux, take losec and it will go away". I'd actually told him that I thought it was reflux and i had taken a losec but also said that I was short of breath. He didn't check my lungs or anything. It was "sign here please". ARRRRRRRRRRRR, QUACKERY AT ITS BEST".
I didn't like that prognosis so went off to the hospital and as soon as you mention breathing problems, they admit ya straight away. They told me that bacteria from the reflux had got into my lungs and whammo, the rest is history.
The head took a real pounding during that process but am getting better now, I'll do half days at work for a week or so.
Thx for the well wishes and Captain parrot, you have a good day today. Thinkin of ya.
Laz
-
Oh you sweet man! What an ordeal! We are so glad you are better and back on board if even part-time for now.
Get back in yer bunk, now and get ye some rest!!!
I am now trying to grow new skin on the bottoms of me feet from alla the chantin' and pot beatin' I been doin'!!!
I also spent part of the day in the Giant Rum Barrel getting my noggin xeroxed. I usually xerox the other end!!! Way more fun!!!
I am plumb wore out from all the excitement!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Hope you are going to get well, really fast now. Thinking of you and hoping you get out of sick bay soon. We miss ya, ya Aussie Scallywag.
Sue in Vancouver
-
Welcome back Laz - glad you are getting better and hope you are back on your feet full time real soon!
-
HI ALL,
Laz, glad your feeling a bit better. Take it slow.
You are never gonna believe this. I was doing a general search through my MSN search engine, typed in single sided deafness, and guess what came up. a topic titled GOOD MORNING. So of course I had to click on it and it brought me straight here to the good morning thread. So now you know, anyone looking for info on SSD can come straight her and read how wacky we are,
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did find an interesting article, I'll try and scan and post if the puter will let me.
Patti UT
-
WOO HOO, we're famous!
The good ship PBW will set sail soon once this chronologer has his sea legs back and the rum runs out in sick bay! whichever is the latter!
oh, glad you are all hooked on Tim Tams. They have just released a strawberry one (for breast cancer). I think that might taste a bit sickly but!
Laz
-
Glad to see you are making your way out of sick bay, we missed you!!
Our sweet Captain has been doing her magical chants trying to get you all healed up
Hugs,
Cheryl
My favorite Tim Tam's are the double coated chocie.  YUM!!!!!
-
Referring people to this site! How will any of us ever be taken seriously? Aren't we supposed to be sick and whinge about it continuously?
-
Well, how about this:
Attention all newbies to this AN site. This thread is the fun thread. For serious threads click on ANA Discussion Forum and go from there. There IS important information and serious stuff on this site, but this thread isn't it!! We feel that even though Acoustic Neuroma is a very
serious subject with very serious consequences, we can still have a sense of humor and this is our place to relax and unwind; sort of like the bar at the medical convention. So explore the site, find out the information you need, seek support, and visit our "bar" if you want. Thank you.
Sue in Vancouver
-
Thanks Sue. That is the thing I love about this site. The medical information is the most thorough and un-baised I have come across and when I want a light hearted and friendly approach I flick to the Good Morning thread. I keep plugging this site via the Australian group too.
-
HEY ALL? ................... GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DID THIS THREAD JUST DIE OFF. WE NEED OUR CAP'N AND LAZ TO COME BACK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CLOUDY SKIES AND RAIN AGAIN TODAY, MAKES FOR MAJOR WONKY HEAD. THE WEATHER DUMMIES PREDICTED A DRY OCTOBER AFTER THE 2 SPLENDA STORMS IN SEPT. IT'S OCT 7TH AND SO FAR WE HAVE HAD 5 DAYS OF RAIN.
BETTER THAN SPLENDA I GUESS.
Patti yootee
-
You're right, where is everyone???????
ROLL CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
AAAARRRRRRRRRRR! Ye Scallywags and Wenches!!!!!
Capt Deb here and reporting for duty!!!
Have had 2 days of what I call a "gravity storm!"
In normal speak it be a major fatigue problem--couln't even drag my sorry a$$ upstairs to the puter cabin or even to the kitchen to get a bit ter eat!! My absentee husband came home with a bag of groceries Thursday evening, fixed me a bee-oo-tee-ful dinner, and talked sweet to me all evening and I started to perk up a bit. I decided to join him on this weekend of working away from home on the fixer-upper that we're doing in Charlotte.
Today I went to the mall with daughter-in-law and Thing 1 and Thing 2 and did quite alright and am feeling almost back to my feisty piratical self! I never really got the brutal headache that usually goes along with these fatigue break-downs, which may be due to 1800 mg of Neurontin daily.
Thanks fer mindin' the helm fer me! So where we be headin'? TimTam factory? Or shall we head to Boston ter disrupt the weddin' Night Feast o' Miss Pearly Girly and Cheeky Bloke? Shall we go drive 'em nuts? Hee-hee-hee!!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
who's up to NO GOOD!!! (as usual)
-
Poet Lorry-ate Sue, here!! Oooo, an old fashioned CHIVAREE. Poor Phyl and Cheeky Bloke.
Glad everyone is feeling better. I was kind of down-in-the dumps yesterday. In some dreams that I remember, I am deaf and/or hard of hearing!! Now, that's not fair. I should be able to hear perfectly well in my dreams. I woke up remembering that and got into a foul mood.ÂÂ
Let's get the PBW that is foundering off the Pacific Coast and GO SOMEWHERE!! I'm getting sea-sick already.
We are lost in the Pacific,
Once, it was terrific,
Now there is a chill,
And we better find Phyl,
'Cause with evil Pirate glee,
We'll have a chivaree!
-
Glad yer back ready to plunder Cap'n Deb. You went to the mail and WHAT???? NO TIM TAM"S???????????
Me must of sent "em by Pirate ship, taking toooooo long! or some postal worker could smell 'em through the package and is sittin in some corner with empty Tim Tam pkg and choccie smudgies on der face.
Hope they show up soon, Gald yer feelin better
Had a girly party last night, the rum barrel is now empty. wore me pirate sockies & shirt, got lots of completments and question. All I could say was AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Patti UT
-
Yeah, but once they appear next ter the flippin' Chips Ahoy, I bet they don't taste nearly as good! Scarcity makes everthing better! Right Batty????? :o
Capt Deb 8)
-
Hubby is doin' laundry right now... Captain's order!
Monday is company team building "Amazing Race" and I am team lead. Will have them pirate socks on and will tell others to deck out the same... As lead I guess me will boss 'em 'round a bit and it's for a good cause. Who can argue?
Good luck, Monday, Capt.
Mary
-
Capt,
I agree the Tim Tams probably won't taste as fine when they're next to the Chip's Ahoy. I've also noticed that someone else's Grog always tastes better than me own Grog. Let's pillage the next passing cruise ship, and see what kind of plunder we can come up with. We'll obscond with what's beihind the Bar, and capture their pastry chef.
Rob
-
I'll distract the pastry chef, and you knock him over the head, Rob! I hope them be good pastries!!!
I would say if they appear next to the Chips Ahoy, make the trip and buy the imported ones. I'm such a snob anymore, American Chocolate tastes like wax to me...My mom actually wrote a letter to Nestle to ask why the good stuff goes to everywhere else but N. America...they wrote back and told her it's because Americans will eat the nasty stuff, so they won't waste the good stuff on us....and they have no plans to either. What an insult!!!!!!!
-
Wasn't Nestle's slogan "Nestle makes the very best Chocolate"?  Apparently us folks in the U.S. will never know >:(
I wonder if there is a job out there that would require one to travel the world in search of fine chocolates
Cheryl
-
I want Rachsel Tay's job on the $40.00 a day show. I'm sure she has eaten lots of wonderful choccie in her travels eating all over the world for $40.00 a day, How long has she been doing that show now?? I think her turn is over. Time for someone else to get a turn.
Pick me, pick me
Patti UT
-
Oh, I love lindt milk chocolate truffles ;D
I agree with you Patti Yootee, I think Rachel has more than enough tv shows going on, time for her to give one up. She talks so darn fast. I would love to hang out with Paula Dean, anyone who uses that much butter is OK in my book LOL

I'll go for Samantha Brown and her Great Hotels show job. I love to watch her and see all the neat places I'll never be able to afford to stay at!

Find yourself the nearest Trader Joe's (They aren't everywhere, sad to say) and look for their brand of chocolate bars...3 in a pack. Dark Belgium Chocolate. It's in a silver wrapper. Very nice. Smooth, creamy, wonderful flavor. Also, Dagoba Chocolate is quite nice. Interesting flavors. http://www.dagobachocolate.com/
And Portland is the home of Moonstruck Chocolate. http://www.moonstruckchocolate.com/
Expensive!! Lovely, handmade truffles. Beautiful chocolate. EXPENSIVE!! They were given out a few years ago in the goody bags they hand out at the Oscars. There is also some place up in Seattle that has earned a nice reputation for good quality chocolate, but I can't remember the name of the place. Maybe this place, but it doesn't sound familiar, however it sounds GOOD!

You want good chocolate? It's out there.

Laz staggers up from the sick bay bed after being struck down with scurvy (feels like it).
Capt Deb orders to hoist the mainsail (or is it hoik) ah well, dosn't matter coz we got parrot power anyways. raise anchor, unveil the winged keel (ah, do we have a keel)? we do now. (laz is still a bit delerious from too much recovery rum from the grogmeisters).
She squarks " We're off ta plunder the finest chocolate there is. Watch out any sea farin' (did I leave a t off that last word, after the r?) rust buckets, the good ship PBW be armed to the false teeth with feather dusters and BAHA units. We is of pilergin and plunderin.
Stay tuned, will the Captain parrot turn green over the intruder? intruder, what intruder? better stay tuned then. Where have the cheeky bloke and girly whirly gone on their honeymoon, is it aboard the PBW? Will their be a chocolate stand off?
laz (back to the rum bottle and sick bay for this chronologer, he's done his dash fer the day.
-
Oh, hooray,
We're on our way!
Anchor is raised,
Laz is dazed,
Crew is ready,
"Hold 'er steady!",
Wind doth blow,
And off we go.

Oh, I love lindt milk chocolate truffles ;D
I agree with you Patti Yootee, I think Rachel has more than enough tv shows going on, time for her to give one up. She talks so darn fast. I would love to hang out with Paula Dean, anyone who uses that much butter is OK in my book LOL
Cheryl
LOTS O" BUTTER, and it doesn't seem to stick to her thighs too badly. Yea, I could, hang with her. But I still want Rachael Ray's job. Why aren't these people huge????? If I look at a potatoe chip, it becomes part of me. Now that Tim Tam's have become part of my world, I'm in big trouble. Luckily my kids love 'em too, they just ate up the last pkg. Think I'll hold off on buying any more for a while.

And Captain Deb

"what the he......?

You won't believe

well, thank you Ma'am,

Have you seen Tyler Florence on those ads? Gosh, he's gained weight. He is a cutie patootie, but his patootie is getting a little too wide!!
-
Bruce is you have a world bazar near you they have tim tams only they are not I repeat NOT called tim tams LOL They do have a picture of gennybird in the corner eating a cracker ;)I say get the carmal ones..they were YUMMMIIIIEEEE...too bad my son liked em too. I apparently didn't hide them good enough :'(
We missed the weddin' so I say let's sail for the tim tam makers! Maybe they'll be like the busch beer plant at busch gardens..we can tour and see how they make it then get our free fill at the end....anyone wanna be pushed in the choccie vat? hm..where's matthew when you need em? LOL :-*
-
I also noticed Tyler has put on some weight and yes he is VERY cute. He has some great shows on the food network. Has anyone seen the show Take home Chef on TLC, it's about a really hot looking guy that roams the grocery store in search of (usually women) he offers to buy their groceries and cook their dinner. The women drive this guy to their house and sometimes along the way he stops and buys them kitchen gadgets. Some women have all the luck >:(

I hear Tim Tams are great for vestibular disorders! You can practice walking while eating them. If you get through a whole box on your walk, you have made progress!

Bruce,
Aussie meat pie huh? well, let me remind you that the law here currently states that a "meat" mie is NOT to have more than 5% meat. Furthermore, "meat" is defined as flesh, muscle etc etc.
Mind you, they taste great but!
You should ask that bakery if they can do you a pie floater. ( I thjink I've written about this 50 or so pages ago). A pie floater is a traditional dish - (sort of) It's a meat pie (again the emphasis on the word meat) smothered in vinegar and tomato sauce or ketchup for you uneducated northern hemisphere people, sitting on top of a thick bowl of green pea soup.
Now a word of waring, you can only face this thing if you are paraletic and then of course it won't stay down - Good luck bruce!
Deb, you guts! and you didn't share any of them. Don the hatch it was huh?
The good ship PBW might have to impose a fuel surcharge to carry the extra Tim Tam weight being absorbed by the wench crew!

A Snotblock?? That sounds gross.
-
Never heard of a snotblock! I'm with you Chris - YUKKO!
Bruce, if ya thought my analysis of a "meat pie" was, well off a bit, try a sausage roll - ah, make sure you take some ant acids with ya -the ingredients of a sausage roll are the leftovers of a meat pie - woa, make sure your medical insurance is paid up Bruce!
Nah, just kidding, well sort of!
Do ya reckon the American stomachs can handle our meat pies Chris?
Laz
-
Ant Acids? Is that like grasshopper ganja? Or caterpillar crack?
Capt Deb 8)

Well Bruce if you find them you need to share after all it's only polite LOL
They had a guy on the NEXT show who was fascintated with australia and made the girl eat vegemite...she threw it up hmm...what is in that stuff?
-
Vegemite - mmmmm, a very acquired taste.
It smells a little on the putrid side - actually it's a very tangy, strong smell. If ya aint ben brought up with it - stay away from it!.
Laz
-
Bruce,
Good luck with the vegemite. Just put a bit on the toast - it's rather strong. Actually, it's not bad on toast and a slice of cheese. Re the snot block. Sorry to dissapoint but I am a Victorian - born and bred there, only been in Sydney for 6 years. Anyway, these guys are having you on and making something up for marketing purposes.
A vanilla slice is called a vanilla slice. We are not that uncouth - well, maybe some of us, whatchyareckon Chris (aka miss banana bender) ah, that's what we call Queeenslanders, although seeing as they aint got any bananas left after I tore through the state (cyclone Larry), maybe we can't call em that any more.
Happy ulcer day Bruce.
Laz
-
OK you Aussies, give it up and let the poor, hapless American know that vegemite is a fermented yeast product, probably somewhat similar to that black mold that forms around windows. I already know this, and would rather have my fermented yeasty taste in beer. Stick to Tim Tam's kids, and you can't go wrong. I get my meat pies from the Brits, never tried an Aussie one. Some of the best are actually Caribbean, and they're called pate. The best Australian export, as far as I'm concerned, is the bone in leg of lamb. Americans don't appreciate lamb enough. It's Christmas dinner in my house.
-
Brucifer--I'd try the DeKalb farmers Market for tim Tams--they have all kninds of imported foods. Ya know Gennysmom, I spread summa that black mold from around me winders (only it was me portholes)on a peice o' toast, and it wern't all that bad really. The things we'll do on a long voyage when ye runs outta provisions! Hope that don't happen on the Goode Ship PBW!!!!! Leg o' Lamb sound yummy--Me and Dr. Love throws one o' them on the barbee a coupla times each summer. I wonder if they gives the poor lamb a peg so's he can walk around, like they gave ter me when I got mine shot off by that cannon ball!

Hey,
Did you see on the news today that a wench was found to have married 6 scallywags (without any divorces), and her name is McBride! I'm not making this up. She obviously has a sense of humor about what she's up to.
Regards,
Rob

Just to get in on the Aussie Food Conversation....yesterday I made "biscuits" from my new The best of Cooking Light cookbook ($16 at Costco, but there is a newer edition out now..) They are of Australian origin. They are called Anzac Biscuits. This cookie was a favorite with the cooking staff at Cooking Light magazine, so I really wanted to try them.  The catch is that the recipe calls for corn syrup and they recommend using Lyle's Golden Corn Syrup to get the authentic taste and texture. Well, I certainly want that, don't I?  So I looked in my local regular stores and nothing.  Then I went and called the specialty stores like Wild Oats and New Season's that have the fancy stuff...nothing.  So I went on-line and ordered two cans from Amazon.com.  It was shipped to me from a store in North Carolina. It's a British product. They came yesterday and I made the cookies (biscuits) right away.  They are very nice and one of those kinds of cookies that grow on you. They have flour, brown suger, sweetened coconut, the corn syrup, soda, melted butter, a little water and mix them up and bake 'em.  The Lyle's Golden Corn Syrup has a much richer flavor and I can see why they would be better with that ingredient than our regular Karo's corn syrup.  Anyway, that's my Aussie cooking story for today.  ;D

OMG Rob, that's helarious!!!!!!! Here it is:
LAWRENCEVILLE, Georgia (AP) -- Shawnta McBride is apparently more than living up to her name.
McBride, 31, has married five men without divorcing her first husband, according to warrants issued by Gwinnett County Police detectives. She is charged with five counts of bigamy and false swearing.
Police are searching for McBride, whose last known address was in Decatur.
McBride wed Robert K. Konaido in September 2004, according to court records. The arrest warrants say she has since married five other men at the county courthouse.
Police said her case is similar to those of two men arrested in the suburban Atlanta county in September. Police suspect the men married half a dozen or more women each to help them gain American citizenship.
Four of McBride's grooms were born in Ghana, one was from Morocco and one was a London native, said Lorraine Stafford, the Probate Court administrator.
-
Oh, let me know if you try the Anzac Biscuits!! Ask if they use Lyle's Golden Corn Syrup....or something similar. I'll be disappointed if they don't!! Especially since I paid about $17 to get those darn cans and also shipped to me!! Gads, the things I'll do to make a recipe "right"!!
Sue

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Brucifer, ye scallywag! You be gettin' the parlay down but good! Impressed I be, I be! Ye must speak ter them blaggarts down at the DeKalb about layin' in a store o' our favorite provisions (you know whats from the land of Downunder) fer yer ta plunder fer the likes o' us Wenches and Scallywags! An' if they be refusin', well, we'll have 'em walkin' the plank, we will! Since you be now a' speakin' the tongue of the PBW ye'll be needin' the official uniform!

Thanks for teaching me the Australian slang words Bruce. I have never heard the majority of them and I have lived in the south and far north of Australia. Funnily enough Australians do not all talk like Steve Irwin, when he was around. Vanilla slices will always be vanilla slices. As for vegemite..yuk and as for meat pies, you have to buy them from a really nice bakery otherwise they are pretty horrible. You can get really nice varieties these days though. Laz, we still have bananas except they are more expensive and I didn't realise you were the cause of the cyclone! So why do they call you Victorians Mexicans?
See ya later mate, crikey, strewth and all that stuff.

P.S. I received my official wench uniform. Thanks very much. Will send you a photo soon to show you how impressive I look!

Me thinks we has an official new crewmember what be needin' a position on the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench here! Barnacle Brucifer--Ship's Provisioner and Official Tutor fer any o' the little scallywags who may be joinin' us! I have already taught Thing 1, much to his Ma's dismay, how to say, "Avast ye Scallywag and walk the plank!" Apparantly she don't want him callin' no other kid at the pre-school a scallywag. What she don't know is a scallywag is an honorable name aboard this here vessel!! O she's in fer a time of it with a Pirate fer her kid's Granny!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (He says that, too, as does his little brother, Thing 2, only it comes out EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!)

Hello Gennysmom, What does Shawnta McBride see in the men from Ghana? She married 4 of them! I was born and raised in Ghana even though I have not lived there in 28 years. I wouldn't trust the men from Ghana at all.

I tell you if you miss a day of here you can get real lost real fast LOL
Sounds like a good time was had by all Bruce! Now where's my tim tams? LOL
Genny's mom I'm heading to your house for xmas dinner...lamb sure beats eating anything with my family! Actually Roy's makes an exceptional lamb YUMMMie.
-
Sounds like a fun day at the bakery/cafe!! I have tasted vegemite...I remember it tastes like Vitamin B smells. It's supposed to be good for ya, tho. Just like poi is good for you, but most non-Hawaiians aren't much for poi. That's a little like fermented elmer's glue. My cookies came out pretty good...they are all gone. I wouldn't say they are my favorite cookie, but it's something a little different and it's easy to make, excepting for finding the syrup. Then today, I was at Costco and I was snooping in places I shouldn't be snooping (the bakery part) and there were some cookies called Australian Bites....I thought...wow, this must be Aussie Food Week or something! The ingredients were something similar to Anzac Buscuits. Bet mine tasted better!
Would LOVE to visit Australia and New Zealand. It's a fascinating part of the world.

WOW!!!!
Gone for 4 days, and 3 new pages of Good Morning. Ye all been hungry I see. Me thinks pirates eatin timmy tams sounds a little fishy, AR AR AR!!! Me thinks the swiss burritos me used ta eat,(deep fried puf pastry filled with a spiced meat filling and swiss cheese) sounds better than the Ausie meat pies ye be talkin' 'bout. Also, one 'er me fav's with the grog is the England born, "English Bangers" YUMMIE!!! they goes perfect with grog. Use ta buy 'em in an English Pub in So Calif. Have not found "em since living here.
I think I'll pass on the Vegimite, and the vanilla slice, with a nick name like snot whatever, I'll pass on that too! But the Lamb. Yea, now were talking. "cept I think the Aussies and New Zealanders boil the stuff. Isn't that what Mutton is?
Glad you found the Tim Tams Barnicle Brucifier, wuz just "bout ta get yer sea port adress and send ye a tim tam ogram, How's the choir in ye head these days??, did the ingestion of the Tim tams, cause any new singing in yer head. ANy Aussie sounding songs??? My kids just don't get it why mom doesn't hear half of what they say, but is always asking them what when they didn;t asy anything. Gotta love thoes sounds/voices that just aren't there.
Batty P. Have you had your ration of Tim Tams yet???. I can get em real easy if yer needin a fix.
Hey you Aussies, Do you count only 11 as a dozen??? there's only 11 in the package. Ya know here the bakers dozen is 13, one extra not one short. LOL!!
Patti UT yootee
-
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR,
Took me forever to catch up on the reading. Now, some clarity ye wenches and scallys.
Patti yodelayhoo hoo - we's don't boil lamb - silly. Lamb is roasted and mutton is actually old lamb - like a pensioner. They go cheaper coz they are tough as nails. A fact ye may not know. There are 20 sheep per kiwi (that's people not the bird) - hence the kiwis have a few jokes spread about them and sheep and what the farmers do - ah, oops, best not go there.
Chris referred to Victorians as Mexicans - for the uninitiated, that saying was created by people in New South Wales referring to Victorians as Mexicans coz they be south of the border.
Now, I must tell you of the most delicious cake you could ever have and ya need a biscuit called Chocolate ripples. They are made by Arnotts. They are similar to Anzac bickies Sue but have a deep chocolate taste (any wenches like chocolate?).
I think the recipe might be on the packet - not sure. Anyway, ye gets two, amybe 4 packets of chocolate ripple bickies, ya whip up a chunck a cream, in a flat dish ye pour a whole heap of brandy. You need a rectangle dish to make the cake in.
Right, dip / soak a bickie in the brandy, and do this with about 6 bickies placed next to each other lengthways. You can make two rows of this. Then, like you build a brick wall, put a very healthy layer of cream. Then another layer of bickies, remember to soak them in brandy. Keep doing this until you run out of brandy!. You can make a nice shape as you go up with the layers you reduce the number of bickies like 6 on the base, then 5, 4 etc.
When you run out of brandy, buy another bottle and pour it into the cream, mix it up a little then cover the cake with the cream.
Put it in the fridge for an hour or two (if ye can wait) and then count the calories. Rather yummie, it be.
Bruce, glad ye enjoyed some good Aussie tucker.
gots to go now coz falling asleep at the keyboard.
catch ye guys soon.

Chocolate ripples Laz??? you mean theres something better than Tim Tams? Now them Arnott people are gonna make us all fat

Jeez, Laz, I gained 3 pounds just reading that recipe!! :o
Sue in Vancouver

Me great-grandpappy was a sheep rancher....so we eat lots of lamb....I believe its "lamb" for the first 2 years, and after that it's "mutton". We roast it and eat it with mint sauce. Yummy!!!!!!!! And no, I don't eat lamb fries, but my mom has!!
I'm not only gaining weight, but feeling a might bit tipsy here at work just reading that Laz!!!!!
-
Why does that ripples recipe sound familiar?
I think right now I'll just cut out the middle man and soak myself in Brandy LOL
Went back to the cookie store and they were out of the carmel tim tams...so I bought one bag of the choccie ones to try...wish now I'd of bought 2 or 3 or 4.....
-
I forgot, you can add some hot chocolate to the cream and it adds a bit more tang.
Chocie ripples are no match for the Tim Tams but that cake is a "beauty mate"!
Funny about the shhep - I'm off to NZ tomorrow for two days (one day travel) for work. Must check out some lamb - too eat from a plate you evil, wicked wenches. I reckon the lamb in NX is the best. They do export a lot of it and if you can find it anywhere then go for it. It will probably be frozen so that takes a bit of taste away.
Watch that volume Batty. Oh, someone mentioned that we can't count as there are 11 Tim Tams in the packet. the background of this is interesting - Arnotts put 11 in there based on 11 players in a cricket team. But they didn't get that right coz there is a 12th man in Cricket. i think it's a money making thing.
Now listen here young cheeky Patti, it's a bit diofficult with kangaroos they are pretty vicious things. Actually, kangaroos are an official pest of the farmer. They are a menace they just destroy crops. Mind you, with our worst drought on 150 years, there won't be many crops left.
You have all heard of "the sunburnt country" well, thats what we are at the moment. All major cities are down to around 40% of ater supply left. A number of country towns have no water and it's really bad. Sydney is having its hottest ever October withj bush fires flaring up and it's only spring.
I think Captain Deb needs to do a rain dance.

Bruce, when did you live in Hawaii. I was there 1966 to 1969. It was an interesting time to live in Hawaii...VietNam war going on, the era of going to the moon, lots of interesting people traveling to Hawaii for various reasons...it was quite the center of the universe at that time. No earthquakes then that I can remember! I did hop a plane and fly to the Big Island to see Kilauea when it was erupting. We flew over at night and it was a beautiful sight.

My husband and I and another couple went there in 1979. We had a lot of fun. Things were different then and I'm sure they are unrecognizable now. I lived on Keeaumoku Street, off of Wilder. I could walk to Waikiki, which I did a couple of times, but it was a long walk! This was when Don Ho was actually quite the big deal! I had my own little apartment. I think it was like $65 a month or something! But then, I was only making $360 a month. I hate to think what that little studio rents for now, if it is even still there. I'd check it out on Google Earth, but my computer won't handle that. Before that I lived with my dad and stepmom up on Pacific Heights, I think it was. I moved over when I was 20 years old. I'd still be there if things had worked out differently. But, I came back to Oregon (got homesick!) and met my future husband right after that. My dad and stepmom came back to Oregon and I stayed over there by myself. I thought that was a great idea but after a year and a half, I missed my family and the Northwest. But I love all things Hawaii, Hawaiian clothes, tropical themes, etc. In some former life, I'm sure I was a tropical person. Anytime the Goode Ship PBW wants to voyage to Hawai'i, then I'm there! The one thing I like about Hawaii is that they have the trade winds to cool ya down. Gosh, wish I was there. :'(

Brucifer--sounds like ye was makin' ye some West Indian Fish!! Poached in coconut milk with peppers and onions and tomatos and yucca and a loverly scotch bonnet fer some kick!! Yum!!!!! I bet they has plantains there, too. I sure ate alot o them while I was livin there. Slice 'em diagonal, soak 'em in a little salt water, drain 'em, give 'em a little squish, dust 'em with a little spiced up flour and fry 'em in hot oil! Eat em with a little mango salsa!

CHEF BARNICLE BRUCIFIER's, Authentic PBW cuisine.
Bruce can sip Rum during the show while cookin up a storm in the ships gally. Like the Galloping Gormet used to sip wine. Actually, if I recall correctly, he used to GULP wine during his show. I think he was waling like an ANer by the end of each show. LOL

I found a way to double dip Tim Tams if you by mistake get the ones that ain't double dipped. Melt some chocolate chips (the dark ones) in a double boiler, let it cool, cram a few TimTams in yer mouth and dunk yer head into the chocolate stuff and VOILA--double dipped!!!!

Looks like the good ship PBW is off and running, sailing under the guidence of the infamous grass skirt wearing parrot. Hoist the anchor, put the Tim tams back in the freezer, secure the rum barrels, lock the toy store, it's a sailin here we go.
As the good ship PBW sets sail, a squark from the parrot that is yodelaihoohood sounds like Maui. It's pineapple martinis for all the scallys and wenches.
Plenty of action and surprises as the good ship pbw gets to the islands. Stay tuned when we find out; Will Sue write a poem that is yodelaid by Patti you-three? What will the parrot do when it meets it's match?
Stay tuned

Yea, now that the temps are cold, finding out that me long pants a fittin a little tight, too many Timmy Tams while still wearing the elastic waisted shorts. Maybe I needs ta go into hibernationNOW so I can't eats any more tim tams.
( Just got back form World market, with some carmel ones he he he, *as she puffs up to lookin liike a barrell)
I'm contacting Arnotts to see if they can make an appetite supression version Tim Tams
Patti yootee
Deb, you feeling a little better hun????

God bless the person who invented elastic waistbands ;D

God bless the person who invented elastic waistbands ;D
Cheryl
You know it, the arrival, or should I say, the removeal of AN brought along several extra LB"S. Sittin around trying to balance enough to walk or something, kinda brings on a thicker waist. And then I get introduced to Tim tams. What's a wench to do?
Patti yootee
-
Arrr, I will brin' some warmer weather wiv me gar. No Tim Tams. They will melt on the way.
-
Patti I hear you and frankly I just gave in and bought bigger clothes so pass those carmel tim tams my world market was out last time I went! >:(
-
BP,
The PBW crew has apparantly been cruising the countryside a'plunderin' all the Tim Tams on the face of North America!!!
Elastic Waistbands be damned! Give me a drawstring waist anytime!!!!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
wh holds her breeches up wiv a piece o' tarry main halyard!!!
-
Okay, mateys, the trick is that we all can't go on the same side of the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench at the same time, because we'll swamp the thing and I'm not up for swimming to Hawaii anytime soon. So, we're sitting a little lower in the water, and it might take a good strong wind to get us moving, but, I'm going to Hawaii! And we all have to do extra laps around the deck, or somethin' so's we can get into shape for them coconuts and hula skirts. The scallywags will be wearing somethin' else, how-some-ever....like loin cloths or whatever those Hawaii dudes wear. So, no fat guts hanging out over that, PULEEEEEEEZE! yuck. I think we need somebody to be our trainer. Wonder what Oprah's guy, Bob Green is doing?
Okay, everyone, 10 crunches (and I don't mean on the Tim Tam's!). . . :D
Sue in Vancouver
-
I'm with ya Sue,
Time to bring back the Greek Gods, in them loin cloths, from about pg 20 and start reminding ourselves that we PBW wenches be Godesses in flowin' gowns, (no elastic waist, hey, no waist line at all. comfy!!!) Time to change the body image, bring it on Bob Green. Does Chef Barnicle Brucifier cook without butter???
Patti UT
LAZ, how many crunches to burn off a Tim Tam??????????????????????????
-
'twill take hours and hours to burn off one of those little temptations, however, this scallywag has an idea.
As the good ship PBW heads off to Maui, the grogmeister has secretly replaced the water with clear Rum but only the scally's know about this. As extra rations of the water is consumed by the wenches they all start to stagger about the deck. The scally's see this as an opportunity to get to Maui quicker so they heave the wenches over board and make them swim to shore.
AAAARRRRRRRRRR squarks the parrot, what about my toys cries the batty one?
The cruise director, whilst swimming in circles organises the wenches into lines and the wenches start their long swim to the Islands. meanwhile the scally's have made great speed to maui and will be there "in two shakes of a lambs tail" good saying from down under
Stay tuned when we find out whether Parrots can swim, will the wenches be engulfed by a sea monster? how good have the scally's got it?
Laz
-
Us wenches have rid the sea's of the mighty monster ;)
We need a hot looking male trainer to keep us focused :o and motivated.

Hey Cheryl,
while up in the middle of the night last night watching infomercials as I usually do when wonkey head and tinnitus is keeping me up, I saw Jack lalane, he's turning 90...... does he qualify????? LOL LOL LOL
Patti UT
-
He's only 90??? Geez, he's been around forever. I remember back in the late 50's - early 60's when he used to come on before Romper Room. I'm not sure he is hot enough for me LOL
You should have called me I was up too. I was bored with TV, so I baked cookies at 2:00am.
cheryl
-
I read an interview with him sometime this past year. He said he can't ever die, because he has a reputation to uphold! What a guy. Very determined, very focused, very committed, very self-controlled. A wonderful role-model, but 99.99% of the people would never be able to fully dedicate themselves to such a strict standard of living. If he had one Tim Tam, the sugar rush would probably kill him!!
Sue in Vancouver
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
COOOOOOOKIES!
The cookie monster - woah, the wenches have been attacked by the cookie monster.
who will come to their rescue? where's the parrot when ya need one?
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR
-
Cheryl,
Baking cookies at 2am, now that's what I call a good workout! What would Bob Green think
Patti UT
-
Dr. Oz is going to be on Oprah today talking about a weight loss. I find him very interesting, but I have a feeling Tim Tam's are not on his new program :( ÂÂ
Cheryl
-
How about Halloween candy?? is that on the diet program?
Actually, I only ate 2 mini almond joy's because my kids don't like the coconut. I decided that would be my Halloween treat, and thats all. I have vowed to not even look at their HUGE bags of Halloween candy, Not to mention al the left overs that didn't get given out. It's going into the freezer along with my last pkg of Tim Tams so I can quite thinking about how much I like chocolate.
Almond Joy??? Isn't there a fruit, or veggie in there somewhere?? (coconut)
Patti UT
-
Patti-YOO-TEE, I got the Almond Joys as well! YUM! :P
Cheryl, Tim Tam's are always on the program... well, my diet program, at least... still got me some in the freezer.... hehehehe! :-*
-
Coconut is very healthy, plus the chocolate has it's own health benefits, so in my opinion the almond joy is perfectly fine to eat ;)
-

Plus, almonds are good for you too, "cept they only put one on top. think thye should call them coconut joy, w/almond lol

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! Ye Wenches and Scallywags! Up at 2 AM? I was up at 3 AM wiv them dam treefrogs in me head just a wailin' (not whalin') and a 'screamin' away! Jeez I wish they'd leave! I'm thinkin' o' changin' my screen name to Capt Treefrogsinthehead! Swimmin' to Maui? OK i'm in--my wayward land pirate Uncle brought me dark chocolate pretzels from Dietze's in Findlay, Ohio, where me Daddy was born. Ate summa them, too at 3 AM but the dam frogs just wouldn't SHUT UP!!! Maybe what I need is some good ole seawater in the ears!!!
Swim, swim, swim!!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Hey girly, good ta see ya up and about!
Now listen here me Nth American shipmates, I was thrown a trivial pursuit question the other day and that is How much do Americans spend on candy for Halloween. I have no idea how they measured this (probably from the increased waist lines) but the number was $1.8 billion
Explains why the good ship PBW lists to one side!
Laz
-
WOW! 1.8 billion?? That equates to a gazillion,trillion pounds around the waistline. YUK!
Hi Deb! glad to see ya back.
Hey, wonder what ever happened to nate the Tech guy. i tried emailing him. both addresses, not working.
LAZ, Tring to burn off that 1000 calories per hour you mentioned. 'Cept, me mate being out of town 2/3'rds of every week makes it difficult. LOL
Patti
-
I can't participate in the "1000 calorie an hour" diet either >:(
Cheryl
-
AAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!! AAARRR! AARR!!! AAARRRR!
Stupid Sea Monster has invaded me frappr space and is leaving me nasty notes!!!! Time ta sic the Wenches and Scallies back on 'is sorry no-sense-'o-humor-whatsoever a$$, I guess!!
Didja know that our own dear Barnacle Brucifer be a jelly maker???? I gues we be callin him De Jelly Mon!!!
I bin listenin to Jimmy Buffett Live in Hawaii CD and it sure is a classic--gotta get it fer our trip if we can't convince JB himself to come wiv us!!
We don't get no trick or treaters where we live--too many sharks.
Good to be back--I've been havin' a rough one wiv losin me dear sweet pup and all.
Love you motley bunch!

Dear Cap'n TreeFrogs,
Be tryin the 1000 calorie an hour diet wiv Dr Luv, me thinks it chases them tree frogs away too!
Gots ta get me sum beach time sumwhere. (I really like this trying to type like a pirate thing, makes me type o's and dyslexcia fingers not look so bad)
patti yootee la he who
-
Hey we all bought almond joys...that is one candy my son won't help me eat LOL They need to put two almonds on top of the small ones :o) My son took all his candy to school so I didn't get to plunder :o( and I was even a pirate princess for halloween so should have been able to plunder!
-
I totally missed Halloween (my fave Holiday besides Talk Like A Pirate Day) cuz my wayward Uncle showed up and at 75 he gets prioity over everything! He biked 10,000 miles every year and migrates between Ohio and the Tex-Mex Border like a duck. So I didn't get to don my pirate gear and trick or treat, but there's always next year. Dr Love and I may be selling our river house and moving to a small cabin on a small lake and building a studio. It's spittin distance to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Linville Gorge.
Batty, thanks for the pic--you looked loveryly!! Ye should post it here along with the one of the Wenchlet!
Capt Treefrogsindehead!

Capt.....at your service....need some SM slaying? I'm on it!!!!!!!!! Send us the goods!!!!!
Look, we're almost at 100!!! Get ready to party wenches and scallywags!
-
Cap'n Deb,
Can't believe the Sea Monster reared it's ugly head again. What's in it for 'im. Must have lots of pent up whatever. he needs the 1000 calorie bruning diet, may make 'im a happier Sea Creature.
Patti UT

I wish i could work.
-
hey someone tell the administrator that they to put an occupation question in your profile. HA
-
Capt Deb. I have a replacement pup if you are interested. Doesn't eat much... yet. Isn't very big...yet. A cute little great dane. Her father is well behaved but mum is a bit of a pain in the arse. Can bring her along on the ship if you like.
-
Just to let you pirates know that on Halloween I wore my t-shirt and all for greeting the kiddies at the door and one mother said..."Love your T-Shirt!!". So I was pretty happy about that.
Now if we be swimming to the rain soaked shores of Hawai'i, then I hope that somebody on the BPW can throw out the inner tubes (remember those?) and pull us along behind the boat now and then, 'cause I be getting pretty tired. Either that, or else throw out the surfboards and we can paddle on in. And those clouds better be gone once we arrive! My mousepad has a lovely scene of a blue lagoon, white puffy clouds, and palm trees and I want THAT!! They had a terrible downpour there and mudslides and all. And that tropical rain is heading to the Great Northwest. It's called the Pineapple Express. I got rain soaked shores here, I don't need 'em in Hawai'i!! ;D
Capt...sorry about the sea monster. Thought he was slain.

Hey Taylor, you sweet thing! Since ye can't be workin' right now, we needs ta give you a job on the PBW! "Keeper of the Limes and Olives" is already taken as is "Dance Instructor", "Head Chef" and "Evil Migraine Fairy Swatter". Can you wax a surfboard? After all we are sailing to Hawaii--North Shore anyone???? I was quite a surfer and windsurfer in me time!!!!
Anyone out ther think of a job for Taylor??????

I need a REAL job lol

Capt Deb. I have a replacement pup if you are interested. Doesn't eat much... yet. Isn't very big...yet. A cute little great dane. Her father is well behaved but mum is a bit of a pain in the arse. Can bring her along on the ship if you like.
I love Danes! When I was but a wee wenchlet, me Pappy was a vet and we'd go out to see this little old British lady who raised Danes and I used to ride 'em around like they was ponies!!! Such sweet critters they was!
Capt Deb
-
No kidding Sue!!! Somebody throw us a life ring, we're floating here!!! Head to high ground!!! We were trying to drive back from Seattle today and the top speeds on I-5 were 30 mph at times...It was raining so hard and flooded that it was hard work getting home. Good thing I wasn't driving, we'd still be out there!!!!!
-
CONGRATULATIONS ;D ;D We made it to 100 YEAH!!!
-
Ok then, I will bring the danes along on the ship. For those who end up swimming behind the ship I will attach ropes to the grown up ones and you can be pulled along. Notice I didn't mention me swimming, partly cos I can't swim and partly cos no scallywag is going to make me :) Once back on board or on the beach in Hawaii we can fit little jackets to them and they can deliver drinks to us. For the single ones you can use the dogs as a decoys to attract cute guys or girls and if you want to deter anyone the dogs can sound really nasty when they growl.
-
We Hit 100!!!!!!! 100 pages of total insanity, maturity and professionalism!!!!!!! Yay us!!!!!
Hey, while we be cruising around the Pacific--I hope we don't run into my AN out there after the little bugger was scooped outta me head with Brucifer's melonballer and flushed down the head at House Ear!!! I wonder if it could tread water for almost 4 years or maybe it found a bit of flotsam to hang onto or perhaps a little teensy life ring or maybe a Cheerio that some baby fergot to eat!!! Get the cannons ready in any case. Linda's and Amylee's and Gennysmoms ANs be out there floatin' around too!!!!! Now that I know that the Great Dr Rick Friedman and the Great Dr Hits made sure that the little bugger didn't leave so much as an eyelash behind in me head that could clone itself into another pesky varmint, I be breathin a great deal easier.
Still a'missin' the "Lab Love" I use ta get when feelin' funky. This here thread always, always, ALWAYS puts a smile on me face when nothin' else will!!!!!!
Happy 100 pages you buncha fruitcakes!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS on the 100!!! ;D ;D ;D
The "Flushaway" movie just out reminded me of ANs going down the heads!

I gets all the silly graphics from Nate the PC tech, who is AWOL

I've been wondering where our Nate is...I know he was moving or something, and just where did he go?????? A techie can't be that far from the web for that long!!!!!!!!!!
-
When you find a beach where there are no stingers (jelly fish) or sharks you can take me for a swimming lesson Capt Deb. Not sure about surfing. I would fall over alot. The great barrier reef is fantastic. You should definitely do it if you get the chance.
-
Capt.
I've always wanted to dive on the Great Barrier Reef too. I say we should head to the Great Barrier Reef after Hawaii. If we want to see some Great White Sharks, we can always throw some Tim-Tam fattened chum over the side. Hey wait, is that what we're doing now?
Regards,
Rob
-
Hey Chris, Deb,
Speaking of the Great Barier reef, anyone been diving since An surgery???? I'm trying to go to Grand Cayman or at least Florida early spring. I can't imagine going to Grand Cayman and not dive the "wall". But thinking the pressure in the head would be too much to take. Will this be another item to put on the "can't do list" hope not. Alos thinking the "suspended in water feeling" might be kind of bazare with the vertigo, the whole experience with vertigo might be really weird. Think I'll start a thread and see if anyone has done this.
Patti UT
-
Yay, 100 pages! :o
Yep, it's raining pineapples on us now!! Yikes.
So we are heading for the North Shore (that's where they film Lost, dontchaknow) and we have to avoid the floating AN's. Now THAT's disgusting. I would assume that they would be totally biodegradable, or if nothing else, fish food. Now that is also totally disgusting. No wonder they are finding dophins or sharks or whatever that thing was with highly developed back fins, kind of like feet. Eeewwwww. :P
Jeez, Laz, are we there yet??? My skin is getting more wrinkly than it already is!
Sue, drowning in Vancouver
PS
My son and daughter in law brought over my latest grand-dog. It's the tiniest little Chihuahua puppy. Guess they will name her Tiki. She's no bigger than a minute.
-
Geeeeesh Miss Sue-wench and Miss Gennysmom--have ye floated away yet?????
Purty rainy there, ay? Bet you wenches think the sun just up and disappeared!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Just about all of Western Washington is floating away. I haven't heard too much on Sue's area yet. I know that Genny'smom (kathleen) area is hard hit. My area (coastal) is flooding. All of our town
schools was cancelled today due to water over roadways. it's pretty bad. Rivers are changing course, highways are being undermined, some bridges are unsafe, mudslides. We may need the good ship to rescue us, and don't forget the TimTam's since another round of storms is due to hit Thursday-Friday.
Just since last Thursday we've received more rain then what we normally receive for the whole month of November.
being a snowbird is looking pretty good right about now.
Raydean
-
Hey you Northwest wenches, Keep yer percep over there. We usually get what you are having a couple days later in the form of splenda. So far we havn't been hit and have very warm temps, but the weather wizard sez look for 20 degrees colder and precep by tomorrow night. YUK
Patti yootee

You are all welcome to come to my house and dry off.
Patti UT - I still want to come over and make a splenda man and splenda angels, never made them before :(ÂÂ

This voyage should have been terrific,
But Laz dumped us in the Pacific,
We are doing the Australian crawl,
And this isn’t any fun at all,
I’m getting a cramp in my leg!
Laz, I really, really hate to beg,
But, PLEASE, plop us back in the ship,
I thought this was to be a fun trip.
[/i]
-
Actually, when we suggested going to Hawaii, we met WE wanted to go to Hawaii...not the Hawaiian rain coming to us!!
Lots of rain in Oregon and SW Washington also. Coastal flooding is bad, local flooding also. Record rains in a short amount of time really does the damage. And with the falling leaves, it can case trouble with the drains, etc. So, yeah....we got it down here too.
Don't know which way it's heading now. It was really windy also. A great storm, except for the damage it caused. Storms are fun if you can stay out of it and not have 8 inches of water in your house.

Wow. I got away from this computer for 4 months.......
, and I can't believe this thread is still going and going..............the cakes...
-
Cakes!!!!!!!!! There you are!!!!!!!!! Yes, you started something!!!! Time to catch up.
I'm sure glad I take the train to work and live on a hill. The train went over a freeway yesterday that was covered up to the top of the jersey barrier and closed. It took hours for people in my area to get to and home from work. The traffic area around me is a mess. There are a lot of displaced people, and a hunter they were trying to evacuate got swept away in his truck up near the mountain and perished. Personally, I think it was a partisan storm trying to keep us from getting to the voting poles! Ha!!! I vote by mail anyway, and sent my ballot out last week.
It's over and sunny now, and the real work of getting the water and mudslides cleaned up has begun.
-
Hey Cakes,
 Gald to finally see ya here. Looks like you have lots of catch up reading to do, 101 pages worth.  This thread you started ended up becoming the wacky humor outlet for some of us. Thanks for starting it.
Cheryl,
 If were going to try to go to San Diego in Han, we may have to make a sand man instead of a splenda man. But come on over, were suppose ta have a winter splenda man making contest at my place early '07 aren't we?  Don't know it the goodship can sail through the mountains to get here.
Patti UT

ahhhh... sigh...
it's sunny here now too
and i love it!

Now, you have to be really honest with yourself and write down everything under each heading (you can share with us nosey people if ya like)
1. What do I love doing
2. What am I really good at
3. What kinda life style do i want (indoor, office, outdoor)
4. Do I enjoy communicating with people
5. Am i a fun person
From the above, try and match as much as possible and then:
What would my ideal job be (winning lotto and retiring doesn't count - sorry)
What job am I cut out to do now.
What do I need to do to get to my ideal job - study, travel, etc
Try the above and let us know.

I think I better start watching Lost.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR Ye scallies and Wenches! It seems Miss Brendaluwench has read us all the way through from page one!!!!! She says she did it in one night--she must be a speed reader!! She now knows about Matthew and the phonebooth!!! Yippee!!! And the Enchanted Spandex we plundered from Ziggy Stardust on Mustique, and Batty's Toychest!!! Yikes!!! :o

Capt Deb 8)
My husband and I were watching Lost and when Sawyer and Kate were getting it on, I said to my husband "Oooo, the girls are going to be talking about this one!" I was right. So now we have to wait until FEBRUARY!! So whatever happened to Michael and Walter and the dog? Did they get away...will we ever know? What is that black thing that killed the cool African dude with the velvet voice? Will we see polar bears again? What about the blond girl and the baby? Isn't the baby supposed to be special or something? And Walter had some sort of powers too. And if anybody watches Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet...just what the heck happened to Shakespear in Season 1, and will poor Mozart get over the death of her babies and will Carlos show up and cause trouble once again? I mean...questions, questions, questions. ;D

Okay, you asked for it.ÂÂ
Poem for Brendalu
                 ÂÂ
In the wee small hours when everyone’s asleep,
Brendalu reads pages instead of counting sheep,
She reads of all the pirates and monsters of the deep,
Page one to a hundred and two, until it is complete.
Her eyes are growing weary, but she cannot quit,
She can’t really believe what the others had writ,
She reads about the Captain, Laz, Phyl and the Brit,
East Coast, West Coast…oh the style, oh the wit!
Skies are turning gray, the sun will soon appear,
But Brendalu keeps reading as her eyes begin to tear,
For suddenly she realizes with our ANs and our fear,
Silliness brought us all together, far away and near.
[/i]
Sue in Vancouver ;D

UNBELIEVABLE SUE.
I reckon the good ship PBW needs ta open up a pirate school. We have enough teachers, poetry lessons, how to create a brewery, techo geeks, we have some younguns that can speak todays lingo and translate for da oldies, we can have a creche for da 4 legged species, and it goes on.
In the meantime, ya wicked wenches, keep swimmin' - you are nearly there - would you like some wrinkle cream coz all dat time in da water aint too good for ya skin! meanwhile the scalleys are enjoying the interview - not too many questions being answered but!
laz

OK LAZ,
You scally's go right ahead and get interviewed by "those", I mean that Italian talk show hostess. We wrinkly wenches better find Mathew waiting on the shore of Maui when we swim up. He'll be all drippin' with choccie and we be being way hungry from all that swimmin.
Patti yodalayhe who
SUE......... your poems are so cool. keep a book of all the poems you made up on this here thread so you can show 'em to Opra when we goes on da show

Thank you. I appreciate you liking my humble offerings. Beings this is a place for us to have fun, then I feel a bit free to try this.

Oh, Sue, a big shout out to you!!!! I asked and you did some fine work....
And yes, wind, kept me up half the night since I live under some tall Douglas Firs that make me nervous....about 3 years ago they cleared the forest behind me and built houses, and left a few trees, and when it blows like that it keeps me awake. We've had quite the crazy weather this last week!!!!!!!!!
-
Sue
we had it all!!!1 We had a thunder lighting storm that lasted over 8 hours. The thunder was shaking the buildings, the lightning was sheet type and hitting before the thunder was done. The lightning was so bright that you couldn't see. Amazing., fun to look at till you realized that standing near the window wasn't a good idea by the way they were moving.
Lots of rain, lots of wind, but it wasn't as bad as i thought it'd be. There's another one comming in Tuesday night with lots of rain and wind that will probably push the rivers over the banks again.
Geez, it's only November and I'm whinning!!! Gonna be a looong winter!!!
Sue, how bad was it in your area?
Soggy Raydean, who now wants to be a snowbird Gotta win the lottery!
-
Yes you Northwest wenches did have quite a storm, and now......... I have Splenda!
Thanks O bunch I think this time winter is here to stay.

It's about 27C or 86F in Sydney and probably a bit warmer for our banana bender friend (sorry Chris, don't know anyone from Qld here so gotto get my dig in somehow)
- oh its a tuff life down under!
mmm which beach do we go to on the weekend? oh, decisions, decisions
Laz ducks for cover from all the snowballs being chucked at him.

The Pacific Northwet has gotten it's share of wild weather lately. We've had a lot of rain, some gusty winds, but nothing near my location was damaged. Trees and power outages around Portland, and Tillamook County, a low lying coastal area always floods. Lots of debris in the rivers. Wow, Raydean, would have loved to see that thunder storm. We don't get many of them here in Portland/Vancouver area. I have trees behind us and they were rustling in the wind, too. I didn't hear them once I went to bed with the fan going.
So, Laz, having fun in the sun? Basking on the beach? Frolicking in the surf? Time for shrimp on the barby? I can't even be mean to you about this, you lucky dog. But, just remember, Australia is the skin cancer center of the world!! All those British subject sent thataway, with their fair complexion used to Northern climes, have a tough time in all the Southern sun. There's a price to be paid for all that frolicking, mister...
;)

Oh Laz. How many snowball bruises do you have? Not only do I choose to live in Queensland, being the best state in Australia, I grew up in Adelaide and I was born in England. Now, no old jokes about the English being scared of water (and soap) ;D

Good Morning:
This seems to be a "hot" subject but, I'm not sure what to write on it. It is a long list of postings. Could someone tell me what this is for. I think awhile back I read the first like about getting up in the morning and doing a vac-thing on the house. Maybe the person was on steroids.
Well, I'll practice........GOOD MORNING!
I made it until 2:00 AM and not the usual midnight, to begin my day. I'm making blueberry muffins as, blueberries are excellent for the brain. Oh, don't you all forget to eat lots of brocolli as, it is the *wonder-veggi* and does great things for you also. I have a headache so, I must do a second cup of tea. I have been off strong coffee for many months now. Maybe all that coffee in combo with my sleeping aids, grew my AN! :-\
Anyway, I while I was gone yesterday afternoon there was a message from my family GP on the voice mail. She had called my ENT. So, I connected with the ENT to see what that was all about. It basically was, that they felt I wouldn't be rid of my problem by just going with CK. I will give it a chance though as, the surgeons and radiation doctors are making a more conservative approach these days. I believe they used to give much larger doses when doing GK years ago and less visits and sometimes only one visit. I know it depends on the size of the tumor, age of the person and type of tumor.......etc. (maybe all this data is incorrect for the "Good Morning" subject. Should I type in Spanish since I don't know pirate language?
What is this site anyway?
GOOD MORNING........Palace

AAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Palace!!!!!
This here thread be a chronicle of the boat we're all in called the Good Ship Pricess Batty Wench and is quite a hilarious read if ye start at the beginnin'!!!

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR
So the wenches be wrinklin up eh! whilst the scalleys are enjoying the delights of..... ah, ah, the interview!
As the wenches approach the shore, a huffin and a puffin, the scalleys come out to greet them, take one look and hightail away - nah, didn't really mean that.
As the wenches crawl outa the water, the scalleys are ready to sail off to another part of the Island so the wenches missed out on shore leave at Maui! ohhhhhhhhhh.
Whats in store for the wenches next? is there any strength left in their arms to do any elbow bending? will the parrot's wings ever dry out?
Stay tuned

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR,
That is it for starters. I'm hanging, got appts. for tomorrow, reading that book on the Kool-Aide and when I'm recovering after CK and it is pouring down rain, I can print out about a thousand pages of pirate talk and hopefully, "Get It." Right now, I'm totally out of it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR; practicing!

Finally watched "Dead Men's Chest" and found out who Davy Jones is!!! Duh, how slow can I be?! I guess I will catch up with more movies on those long haul flights...
Now does the good ship PBW know what will ever happen to Turner Sr.? Hate to see "Black" gone or did it sink in the movie? And didn't I see Jack going down with that sea monster? Memory is fading with a big lump in my head.... ÂÂ

I have made a new discovery. The childrens toy catalog Hearthsong has pirate band aids and a pirate lunchbox. Both of these items have a skull and cross bones on them. They also have a website and you can find the items easily by just doing a search for pirate which I just tried out. Now if only a pirate bandage on our head could be a cure all for ANs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The lunchbox would be a good hiding place for the Tim Tams that sound very yummy!

Here's what happens if you get between a PBW crewmember and Tim Tams.
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l46/HeadCase2/shark.jpg)

We be needin' a Shark Wrangler--I nominates Miss Chris-wench from the Land of Oz!! She be keeper of the Timtams, but bein' but a wee slip of a wench, she be needin' some help protectin them from various other pirates and scallywags. We need her to train that fierce lookin' sharky-poo as a guard shark!!!
Back in me lean days on St John, I was needin' some beer money and I went lobster divin with this scallywag of a boyfriend--we was sellin them lobsters to the Rockefeller resort for big bucks. I had me a bag o' dyin lobsters and me boyfriend decided to pull the tail of a 6 foot nurse shark that was sleepin on the bottom. Yikes!!!! I did not like that one bit!
Capt Deb 8)
-
I don't need the shark for protection, besides I don't like them. They have big teeth and munch on anything that resembles food. Can I just stick to protecting the Tim Tams with my big dogs? They look pretty mean unless you offer them a pat, food, a toy etc etc ;D.
-
Just broke the scales after lookin at those tim tams! aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
-
Crash!!
Bang!!!!
Sproing-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g!!!!!!
Geesh, Laz!! I heard them scales break all the way over here in the Land of America!!! The sproing heard round the world! The sound of Laz's scales breaking!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Attention PBW crew!!!
If any o' them Yankee Scallywags or Wenches calls ya fer bail money--tell 'em NO!!! (see post on the NE area "Brunch" thread. Yeah---"brunch." Right.) Captain's orders.

Capt,
I know what you mean about the shark. The first time I went snorkling in the Ocean we went out on a boat from Key West. They threw us overboard by some remote Key. I was on the bottom looking down and enjoying the multicolored fish in the Elkhorm coral, thinking "I wonder if the really big things in the sea play with things my size like I'm playing with these small fish?" I needed to go up for air, and when I looked up I was surrounded by a school of barracuda, all eyes, teeth, and rapacious speed. I was thinking, now would have been a good time to use the buddy system, oops, and the boat was about 20 yards away. I was out of breath so I was trying to appear "calm and cool" while heading to the surface and swimming between them. I was sure that the baracuda could hear the hammering of my heart from the big surge of adrenaline. The baracuda weren't impressed, it was like passing a street wise gang who were trying to appear bored while watching my every move.
Regards,
Rob
-
I agree, I've snorkled around plenty of barracuda, and they're a freaky looking lot. They're kind of like 'possum, all teeth and scary looking, but really are just watching you and aren't up to no good, unless your finger looks like a fish. It's pretty unnerving until you figure this out though.
-
My favorite snorkeling place is Galapagos - sharks, huge turtles, manarays (?sp), & my favorite, sea lions, all hanging out with you having a grand ole time. I felt alot safer swimming in Galapagos then the Keys (friendlier fishies in the Galapagos) Nancy
-
Wow, Brucifer! I became friends with Mel Fisher while he was on St Croix when the movie "Dreams of Gold" was being filmed. It's about the finding of the Atocha and starred Cliff Robertson. My music partner, Michael "Beans" Gardner had a speaking role in the movie and played a song in it! I painted a couple very special T-shirts for him when he came into my little shop in Christiansted. He had had some pretty incredible jewelry made for himself out of some of the bullion.
And yes, a school of 'cudas is frightening. I find swimming at them real fast makes them go away. Also scares the bejezzus out of Dr. Love when I do that!!!

You are such a bunch of underwater daredevils. I'll pass thanks ;D

Pirates…. Pirates… calling all Pirates… can I have your attention??? Ahoy mateys!!!! Want to show the world what a real pirate is like?

Wow...neat stories and photos. My husband and I snorkled when we went to Cancun, and also on another trip when we went on a short cruise from Miami to Key West and then over to a little island in the Bahama's where the ship anchored and the tourists frolicked in the water. No SCUBA, just snorkling. Still, it was fun.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you have a great holiday.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Another newbie on the PBW??????? Welcome aboard Corinne5000! The secrets of the PBW are revealed only to those who read this wacky thread from the beginnin'!! This thread is our physical and mental therapy thread--definitely for the escapist in us all!!
I wanna go do the pirate reality show!!!! Believe me, if I hadn't had this durn brain booger what sabotaged my balance and whatnot, I'd have definitely applied!!!!!!
Cool pic Taylors mom and Taylor! Blub, blub blub! Ever go night diving?

Ok I've got it now! ;D I'm a hairdresser so maybe I could take care of everyone's hair on the PBW? Do you have a hairdresser yet? I saw one of the great pirates, Keith Richards, in concert with his Rolling Stones crew last night - using earplugs made it pleasurable and I just have a little extra headache today. The old guy was touched at the crowds warm welcome - many an inlfatable palm trees were waving so he would feel at home in cold and snowy Canada. I almost thought I saw a tear in his eye...
-
The deck of the good ship PBW is overglowing with newbies, full employment and bellies filled with Turkey and tim tams. This barrell of good food, rum and humour be sailing off in6to the distance shortly, searchin for some booty ta looty.
Me thinks da cruise director needs ta get some games going on da deck be it above or below - no matter coz the winds be silent and da bellies be full.
Where shall we sail te dear Parrot! perhaps to Jaimaica mon, or perhaps we set sail for some different shores like Antarctica. Where shall it be?

Oh pleeeease somewhere warm. The snow's been fallin' for 24 hours now and I'm dreamin' of some warm sunshine!

Ah, dear Corinne, as one who officially retired from our lovely profession of Cosmetology, you running the ship-board spa does certainly sound good to me...with me in the wings offering guidance to those unruly coiff'd folks who claim hair frizz due to ocean salt air.... I think it just may work! :)
Ok, folks! Toss the BAHA-like-a-Frisbee-Boomerang up on the sundeck in 5 minutes! Torching SSD rejection letters bonfire will be at midnight at the base of the ship's smokestack...... "I've got a secret" game for good right ear hearing at 2pm... good left ear hearing at 3pm... in the piano bar!
Grog to be served 24/7! :)
Capt'n, taking all of Laz-Scallywag comments into consideration, can we set sail for islands off the coast of E. Africa? I hear the Indian Ocean is the place to be... well... based on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes-Cruise, that is!

Ship's Photographer!?!?!? OMG! I have no clue (I ain't reading all over 100 pgs here to see who got what) but I know folks here are tracking it... I think you'd make a GREAT ship's photographer Taylor. Clean pics only... gotta keep it clean!  Except for when Laz enters the belly flop contest and upon water entry, his swimming trunks start to go and his um....derriere shows.. then you can snap that pic! :D
Capt'n, do we have a ship photographer yet?

No, Captain, we haven't done a night dive, yet. I'd like to, though. It would be so cool. The only way to see the octopus, I know. We did 10 dives in 5 days on that trip. I ended up with a raging ear infection. Taylor and her Dad had no problems.
I'm hoping Taylor recovers enough that we can all go and do that again someday!!!!!!
Kathy
PS--- I'm a hairstylist, too.

Calling Captain parrot, where are ya?
Decisions ter be made, wheel ter be steered, and you are probably fressing that Turkey and having a "whale" of a time!
Rendezvouss on the deck at midnight huh ms cruise director. Hope taylor has her infra-red switch ter on! Not sure whether ya want to break the lens on yer camera on your first day on the job by taking a pic of "my better side", maybe the wenches will get lucky with a visit by the Chippenddales are they still around? and yer can take lotsa these wenches drooling over the 6 packs!
I bags we have another wet t shirt competition - 'twill be pretty hard to beat our incumbent champions but.
The good ship PBW continues circle the seas as Captain parrot has not yet surfaced. perhaps we need to send out a general distress signal in parrotese.

Capt,
I was able to do some night diving in St. John. Very Cool. The sea turtles where sleeping under coral "shelves". And there where other creatures that you wouldn't see during daytime dives. Although it was a little unnerving not knowing what might cruise in from the blackness on your blind side.
Regards,
Rob

WOW, Gone 5 days and 2 more pages. Hope everyone had a great Holiday Dieting day. I gave Thanks for me AN ship mates fer sure!
Newbie Corrinne, you mentioned you were getting the "S" word at your place (snow) Where does ye live? I'm complaining from time to time about the ole Splenda that keeps falling from the sky in these parts (Park City Utah). I was in Calif in 75 debrees, came home to nice sunny 45 degrees yesterday and this morning, Darn splenda covering everything. Gives me the major Wonkey head for sure.
All the talk about diving and snorkling, I started a thread a few weeks back that didn't get much attention, about diving AFTER AN. Anyone done that?????? I'm worried about the pressure being a problem for posties. Any feedback on this??
Phil, swimming with the sting rays in Grand Cayman was so cool. I want to take my kids to do it, but the darn things been poking people in the chest lately. (such a sad thing, poor Steve).
Laurawench, Pirate reality show, what fun that would be. Too bad we would all fail at the challenges when they have us stand on one leg on a floating dock or something.
As for new games, I'm playing the pig out detox game this week. (burp) too much turkey and grog,

I'm here in Vancouver, Canada Patti. We don't usually get this much snow... rain is typical but we are getting hit with some major white stuff right now. It is STILL snowing and has been since Saturday night. I am officially snowed in as I live up on the mountain and do not want to drive down the hill! I also found that whirling snowfalkes coming at the windsheild make staying in one lane a little challenging...outta my way people! Slidin' swervin' slippin' ANer coming down the hill!!!

Had some snow here in Vancouver, USA, but it isn't going to stick down on the valley floor - just above 500 feet. Yes, it hit harder further north, as Vancouver, Canada can attest.

Lately it has been growin' out a little ever since I saw Emmylou Harris and decided that long silver hair was HOT! Well, it may be hot but it's a lotta work wot wiv that blow dryer and dippity-do and staightenin thingy what I burned me dang ear on!!!!!
I'm all for having a bonfire for all the SSD rejection letters--I been gettin' 'em for 3 years!!!! Bein' captain of the PBW is the only job I can do wiv a screamin' headache and it don't pay much!!!!
You lot are the best crew ever!

Snow - goodness... I'm in Virginia and it's about 70 degrees today. But just the same I'm ready to sail on outta here!!!!
-
Had some snow here in Vancouver, USA, but it isn't going to stick down on the valley floor - just above 500 feet.
Sue
The snow pretty much bypassed the 500 feet. I'm pretty near sea level and we have snow!!!! and it's sticking!!!
Watch out Patti, our splenda is headed your way!!!!!

I know of this sleepy little island in the Grenadines called Bequia (pronounced BEK-wee) which would be a good place to sail to--also an even sleepier little island called Carriacou. Here's the plan:
1. Get up in the mornin'
2. Dive over the side
3. Eat a little breakfast
4. Dive over the side,
5. Get your snorklin' gear out,
6. Dive over the side and do a little fishy watchin.
7. Come back and eat a little lunch.
8. Take a nap, get up
9. Dive over the side.
10. Row ashore to the dinky little beach bar for happy hour.
11. Row back to the boat
12. Dive over the side.
13. Eat a little dinner,
14. Row back to the beach bar
15. Dance the skin off your feet to the scratchy band.
16. Row back to the boat and fall into yer bunk.
17. Repeat as necessary.

I LOVE the Grenadines....I thought it was gorgeous there. We went to this little cay to snorkel...have no idea where it was in the scheme of things...but a big black cloud blew over and pelted us with grape sized raindrops....that was the coolest thing, watching it rain from under water. Saw my first stingray there. Beautiful. I'm all for it!!!

Under the guidence of Captain Super parrot, the good ship PBW sets sail fer da Grenadines. The twirling dinghy girly whirly thingy is sorta following but is a confused beast.
The ship is travelling at break neck speed (1knot per hour) ccoz all da wenches filled da galley with Tim Tams and all da rum barrels be full. Chris wench is riding shotgun with her feather duster over the tim tams whilst our resident grogmeisters are guarding the barrels with their lives.
An interesting journey lay ahead with wide, white sand beaches slope gently
into azure blue, warm water, full of exotic fish and healthy coral.
Where nature is the only attraction.
Where the famous TradeWind Breeeeezes
...... caress your face
..... natural air conditioning.
Where you Snorkel right off the sandy beach.
Where you Hike winding paths.
oh boy, that sounds just the trick - picture the white sand, the surf, the rum, the.... well , oh sh.. I have to get back to work@! what a downer!
Stay tuned, will the wenches be skinny dippin? will the scalleys hgo topless? will everyone drown coz they be full of tim tams and rum and other girly drinks?
Laz
-
Pay structure on the good ship PBW is very straight forward. All staff are a percentage of the Captains wage. the Captain is the highest paid coz she's a parrot and parrots rule!
Captain's pay - 3 dry crackers a month (self funded)
Other staff pay is based on the Captains pay less 3 crackers per month times 75%. That applies to everyone so there are no disgruntled employees complaining about unfair wage breaks between jobs.
Laz
-
I am soooo ready for this cruise. Will let my boss know I am taking a bit of time off work. Have the feather duster ready. Patti, I only snorkelled off the barrier reef so I can't help you with your question about scuba diving. Skinny dipping, nah, will leave that to the young uns. I don't swim so let me know when you are in port and I will meet you.
Regards
Chris
-
Capt - the plan sounds great but you forgot the TimTam breaks and our "hunky man" massages! LOL :P
-
Capt...........count me in on this voyage.........sounds like an irressistible cruise. I need a job though.

Laz,
The pay also includes a daily Grog ration... as long as you stay in the Grogmeister's good graces!

What just a darn minute here!! Aren't we still swimming to Hawaii? Did we ever even get to Hawaii? What the heck has Laz been doing whilst we wenches have been tirelessly swimming in the deep blue Pacific waters? Now we don't even get a rest on the lovely black sand beaches of Hawai'i ne? Not that I don't want to return to the West Indies, mind you....but gads I'm really tired of swimming. Somebody better haul me aboard that darn ship, hand me a towel, and a nice mai tai, and lead me to the chez lounge so's I can catch me breath. Laz, you son of a motherless dog, GET US TO HAWAII!!!
Wench Sue
-
Hey Brendalu Wench - I think you were already assigned two very important jobs...Keeper of the "Good Morning book" and our resident speed reading teacher
I agree Sue! I took a little break from swimming to Hawaii to have me a little turkey and stuffing and next thing I see we are in the West Indies ???
I believe Laz is still under the spell of the Italian talk show hostess and is not thinking too clearly ;)

The scalleys notice something strange on deck. The parrot is showing strange signs. Trying to steer the ship with no wings have alerted the scalleys and after a meeting round the rum barrel, which turned into a slurring conversation, they decided that the parrot needed relieving.
Led by the puterologist with his flash drive in one hand and rum bottle in the other, approached the Captain and duly challenged the parrot to come clean. Squarks a flyin everywhere. WE BIN PARROTJACKED slurs the puterologist.
In an instant, the good ship PBW is spun 180 degrees (not difficult to get into dizzy spins) and hightails back to the crystal blue seas of hawaii to pick up the wrinkled wenches. (I'm sure we picked em up before but they are sso troublesome, they probablky fell overboard again).
Stay tuned - will their be anything left of the wrinkled wenches? who was the parrot imposter? can the scalleys steer the ship back ter hawaii?
laz

See, calling Laz names worked!! ;D Hawaii here I come!!
*Ukelele strums softly to the tune of Aloha Oe*

When the ship was in full spin betcha didn't even notice stoppin at the shores of Australia and wonderin who that short but extremely beautiful wench wanderin on deck with stocks of rum was. Tis me ;D
Never been to Hawaii before so lookin forward to lazin on that beach

He seems to have been changed into an ape!!!!!!! What kind of jumbie can do that? Probably the parrot what parrotjacked our ship! Or did LAZ change himself into a parrot and parrotjack us just to be closer to ITALY and that Talk show host with the big rum barrels!!!
I'm so confused!
Time for my medication.

The pictures woke me up! I've never photograhed so well!! I'm the red head on the left 'cause she's short! Someone wanted wrinkle cream. Just heat up the parafin and dump it on. It fills em in and is cheaper than Botox.

It seems I've joined a crazy and somewhat perverted group. Do you think these "Awful Nasties" affect our minds more than they tell us? Seems it brings out the lustful appetites in some...Hey Laz thanks for posting my picture. We were atop a glacier in Alaska this past July. Fantastic trip. Went on a small ship, (100) people and saw a lot...Beautiful snowy day here in Missouri. House is warm, coffee is hot, life is good....Cheers to all. Karen
-
Karen,
Are'nt you in that picture???. Didn't you know it's having the AN that brings out the nasties in us all. AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Me thinks that scally looks a bit like travolta. Where's Mathew?????? That pic looks like it's about time for scally choco dippin.

Patti yootee - Yep! the choccie is nice and tempered and he's ready for dippin. Where is BattyP ??? I always wanted to be a blonde, that's me with the big smile :D Would be nice to have a symmetical smile for just a day. (Although my crooked smile is very flirtatious ;))
Welcome aboard Karen!
hugs,

-
Yes, we are supposed to be going to Hawaii. This is about the longest trip in our history, which the GM Thread History-ologist can attest to. Me thinks this band of lusty pirates has gotten a bit side tracked on this here sea voyage Me also thinks that a band of wayward college students have hi-jacked this here vessel for their early Spring Break party! Our fearless leader, Cap't Deb, better step in and give them the heave-ho whilst we straighten out our travel plans so's we can continue on with the important matters of plundering the Kona Coast of all it's riches - coffee, chocolate, mangos, papayas, and the like. In the meantime, I wanna be the girl in the blue, a couple of pictures back.

Woah,
The goode ship PBW has been hit by a curve ball which has put a hole in the side.
Can the Captain prevent the sinking of the ship? will the crew rally behind the Captain? what will happen?
Stay tuned.

Ode to the GM Thread
Oh, Captain, my Captain, I dare not think,
What we shall do if our good ship doth sink,
Where shall we go for a jolly laugh or two?
Or hunt for Sawyer, chocolate or brew?
Wounded and sinking, our shipmates cry out,
"We were on to Hawaii, what's this all about?
We laugh and we joke and we travel the seas,
Mostly we visit and just "shoot the breeze."
But the Admiralty flag ship has fired a shot,
We are in her sights, her cannons are hot,
Wild eyed and scared we await our fate,
Just know, I'm proud to be the poet lorry-ate.

Do you know just how much I love you? YOU, my dear, have just summed up how I feel about things here....the true family we have become. Heck, if it wasn't for you all, I would not have been able to research and reach out to others that are also in the same shoes....so, regardless of where the PBW sails, I remain on board with the crew! It's you all, the crew of the PBW, that has carried me through this AN journey... and I thank you all!

Have you filled the hole in the ship yet? I wouldn't know cos I have been busy fending everyone off the Tim Tams with my feather duster. Hard job this one! Someone said there are all those AN's floating around somewhere. Maybe they can be useful. We can't allow the ship to sink yet, just as newbies arrive. Hmmm maybe those who have been eating too many Tim Tams might just have to put their bums (or fannys as you Americans say, cracks me up every time) up against the hole temporarily. Laz you are Australian aren't you. What about your beer gut ;D
-
 We have a lot of new crew members, and a large hoard of Tim Tams and Rum on board, so I'll quote Broady from JAWS, "We're goin' to need a bigger boat."

Hey there, Chris....our Laz is a right fine looking scallywag, with nary a beer gut in sight. :D

To thye system administrator
The crew of the good ship PBW is cryuing out for a lifeline. Many a time, this here thread has been used as a heeeler. It has fantastic qualities and with newbies coming on board all the time, we point them in this direction and they start to relax and become less stressed.
This here chronologer is asking the system administrator to throw this thread a lifeline, plug the hole in the boat and remember, AN's are rotten afflictions but this here thread, together with a number of other "healing" threads, eases some of that pain, especially for newbies who are lost and confused.
ATTENTION, the crew of the good ship PBW, please remind the administrator of the benefits of this thread and rally your support behind this and the other healing threads.
Record your support because we do not want the ship to go down.
Laz
-
Ah, the GM thread got me through a very frightful night. By the time I was done reading the 102 pages I needed Depends, a box of tissues, a good cocktail and something for my tummy ache from the laughter I hadn't felt in a long time. I knew that I had finally found someplace that I fit in. I felt like more than one person understood and was really listening. I hadn't even had to speak. I could have though and someone would have listened. We need the PBW and the GM thread and all the craziness and poems. This wench is calling a day and going to dream of a gently rocking ship somewhere off the coast of the Big Island.
Brendalu

Hi Sue,
I am allowed to pick on Laz. He picks on me for being a banana bender and besides, it is the Aussie thing to do. I am sure he would tell me where to go if I offend him, at least I hope so. Have we stopped the ship from sinking yet? I just look after the Tim Tams and rum. I can't be expected to do the physical stuff aswell :D
-
This thread is (http://images.bigoo.ws/content/glitter/text_miscellaneous_2/miscellaneous2_285.gif) and I wouldn't be able to make it though the day with a smile on my face without it!

Hi Chris,
Well, far be it from me, to get in the way of some Aussie sparring!! ;D I just thought - Well, I've met Larry and he's a right fine looking Australian - a man any continent would love to claim. Just trying to leap to his defense - as any good shipmate would... why I don't know as he had us wenches in the deep water for far toooooo long.
Sue in Vancouver

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I got it!
we'll take alla them watch and waiters and coax their ANs outta their ears with a little sea siren music(remember Ulysses?) and grab 'em lil' buggers and plug up the hole in the hull wiv 'em!!!
Kill 2 seagulls wiv one volley!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Sounds like a great plan - I'd like to offer my lil' bugger as the first to be sacrificed!!!

Looks as though the dingy of the PBW is at least sailing on GM #2 take a look
Patti UT

new caledonia? pitcairn? wot's those places??/
i'm busy checking for barnacles stuck to my back ;D
where's this ship going now?
i see a great blue sky, a few white puffs of cloud drifting in a nice pattern, and the sun is keeping the deck dry...
should i plan to snorkel or deep sea dive????
maybe i should head for the buffet on the third deck.....
then again, don't eat before swimming.....
i think it's gonna be snorkelling......
W.

The crew of the good ship PBW is fightin' hard to plug the hole, the ship remains afloat fer the time being but the crew is running out of batty's toy chest to use to plug the hole.
Lots of calls fer help, hopefully, the cries are being heard. For the moment, the good ship PBW is alive and well'ish, it does need an MRI but!
Stay tuned for what hopes to be more exciting voyages in the future - once we permanently plug the hole.
Sue, you are a gem, I'll take as many compliments as possible.
As fer me Aussie mate - well, I'd actua;lly be offended if she passed on any compliments - it's thiss Queensland v's N.S.W thing - gotsta have some rivalry and besides - I started it by calling her a banana bender - ya see, thems fightin words here. On the other hand as keeper of the Tim Tams - better try and be nice to Chris, otherwise I'll get too thin and fade away to nothing.
Laz (who will now leave all his tim tams to Sue in his will)
-
Ya see what being nice does for ya? Got a stash of Tim Tams somewhere in Oz!! I may never find them...but that's another story. ;)
Maybe we sort of ended up in Dutch waters - you know..with our fingers in the dike kind of thing...
Sue in Vancouver
-
What a laugh. I love this thread. Watch out Laz I feel a compliment coming on ;D Some of the Tim Tams got wet so I used the melted chocolate to plug the hole. I was gonna try the Capt's idea of sirens to lure out the little sucker but I already have my little siren going so I figured it would only drown it out.
Anyway, glad to report the ship is now ready to sail again. This time the scallys are swimmin and the wenches are drinkin cocktails and being waited on by some good looking guy we picked up along the way ::)
-
Well... that is music to my ears Chris!!! The PWB is "healed" with the magic of the Tim Tams, we are ready to sail, we are sipping (yeah right) on the grog, and we have a hottie keeping our mugs full! Damn right - this is my kind of crew! I don't care where we go!!!
Bruce - I'll be the first to offer up the belly fat if the melted Tim Tams don't hold!
Laura
-
Avast Capt!
I spied a bottle floating by and snagged it with a net. Inside I found this treasure map. I was able to raise the invisable ink with our MRI machine, it says something about a cache of buried Tim Tams on an island nearby.

OK you nutheads, I've been going back through some of the insanity of this thread and we have just got to find a way to preserve it!!! Nate, Nate, where are you????? I downloaded 3 pages to my puter and it said each one was 87 mbs or something, and there are 115 pages so that's......like, 10,000 mb. Is that alot? Is that to much for my puters brain to hold? I have no idea! I just got this puppy and it runs just like I like it and I don't want to slow it down.
I want the GM thread on disc!!!! So when I'm old and deaf and toothless I can sit in the home and laugh my skinny old wrinkled butt off!!!!! Oh wait--most of you are younger than me and I don't have kids, so I need to figger out who I'm gonna come live with! Probable Phyll and CB if they'll have me. I know! I'll go live in Queensland with Chris! She'll stuff my pie hole with TimTams and I'll leave her my jewelry as payment!!!
C'mon you geeks!

We may soon have to trade this here vessel in on a brand spankin new one!!! We has sprung some leaks here!! This capt ain't goin down with this ship however--nope--nope-- don't believe in that!!!
Just movin' on to a brand spankin new one. Our chronologer is workin' on the ship's log so it don't get lost in cyberspace for ever.
This here ship, she has been a good and stout one, takin us on many many great adventures around the seven seas and we has had many great parties here. Pillagin, plunderin and eatin lots of chocolate and drinkin lots o grog ( you crew, not me , I be the designated driver!!!)

Hey ye all wenches and scally's, Just cuz this here thread is retiring doesn't mean I'm retiring. I'm still an" xy"z old youngin.
But the Aussie retirement spa does sound perttie good.

Well, sounds like the tales of ye goode ship PBW is nearing an end, Batty's toys ran outa batteries and couldn't keep the holes plugged. Unless there be a miracle, a gesture of good will from da powers te be, this chronologer will be signin' off the maiden voyage that has lasted 10 months.
We have sailed the open seas, dipped mathew, been parrotnapped, eatin' a little bit a chocolate, fought off an evil sea monster, but best of all, had a wonderful journey with a great crew.
This here chronologer is about te set sail on the Goode Ship PBW Mark 2. This here be a new and improved rust bucket that is full a mod cons. We even have a "dunny" on board.
Not that I wear one, but my hat goes off to the crew, it has been a priveledge to cruise the seas with - particularly da best coast crew (west of course) Laz ducks a beanie fart missile from the slightly less than best coast.
catch ya later mate!
Laz

Ok. I will look after the retirement home but expect lots of rules like no moping around complaining about stuff. Everyone has to drink an ample amount of booze per week and eat whatever they feel like. Tim Tams will be on supply 24 hours a day for those who need it. Good looking guys and girls will be on 24 hour call for our entertainment. Heavy fines will be imposed on those who do not comply.
Do I make myself clear arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ;D

Count me in. I like hunks and chocolate and someone else doi'in the work and somewhere warm. I won't be complainin at all.

Anyone heard from thecakes, who started this thread? I hope she's doing well. For starting this thread, I'm not sure if she should be keelhauled, or we should send her a bottle of champagne :)
Rob

Cakes popped back in a few weeks ago, not sure what her feelings were, but hopefully it was one of pleasure as she was instrumental on this priceless gift.
I see we are still afloat this morning (15th) ;D

Think we need to do a roll call for the West "Best Coast" girls from Washington State and Pacific NW areas.. We had a major storm come thru yesterday with high winds, damage and so far 4 deaths. I am hoping that all of our Washington, Oregon and BC members made it safely thru the night.
Shouting out to Nan, Kathleen, Vancouver Sue Hoping you and yours are all ok!!!
Hugs to all
Raydean
-
Raydean, that's why I called you... to check in on you. :-*
Ok, spoke to Gennysmom/Kathleen. She is out of power and her county has been advised to hunker down and stay put due to many downed trees and such... a bit dangerous to be out on the roads. She also thought it best to stay home and make sure that the birds are kept warm. Funny... she made a comment to me about... pre-AN surgery... she would have planned other things in light of storm... but now, post AN surgery, she has a new vision/perspective of priorities... so, she's got the fireplace going to help keep the birds warm (she said is was rather cold) and she may be without power for a few days. Said her cell phone batteries run low and she has to run to car to recharge the phone, so if you call her, you may want to keep it short so she can save on phone batteries... just a thought.
So, Kathleen is ok for now... told her I'd check in on her later. She said she'd be calling Nan as they were to get together this weekend. So, will hopefully get update on Nan.
Hang in there, you NW An'ers!

Kilroy,
Tell Foxy that Captain Debi from St Croix says Hi. Also Michael Beans, my old music partner, on Marina Cay at the East End of Tortola. There is a great snorkling spot there with sea fans as big as Volkswagons! Here is a link to Beans website-- http://www.beansmusic.com/ He is a great entertainer and should be playing there right now.
Have fun!!!

Checking in on Cheryl and Palace.....did you guys weather the storm OK? Palace, I know your power was already out....hope you guys are OK! Patti, how are you doing? I know another storm's tracking to Denver, did it hit you too???? We're just snowing fog today, and it's really icy. What a weird weather time we're having here in the west!!!!!!!!
-
Weird weather alright. Two days ago we were ice skating at Hotel Del on the beach in 70-degree temperature. Yesterday was so windy that trees were uprooted in our park across the street. Today is great Holiday Bowl weather with big balloon parade on the bay. And tonight we will have 38-degree. Go figure!!
Yes!!! Alex and I finally finished the lego Black Pearl and she looks gorgeous!!! Davy Jones look out, here comes Pearl and her tender (cute little life boat) and all her crews. We (yes, me too) have been playing with it all day... Alex with pirate eye patch and me with monkey swinging on the boat!! ;D *Forgot how to make the picture larger ???*
(http://image2.frappr.com/pix2/i/20061228/6/4/4/644ab99df6e696cae62a0c631c4b74830_medium.jpg)
-
Very cool !
-
Oh, how cool!!!!!!!!! I want one!!!!!!!!! I have all the Harry Potter legos, but not any pirate ones!!!!!!!
-
WOW!! the exact replica of the Goode ship PBW and even has Pearly girl's tender, how cool is that ;D
Mary - Have you been to Lego land in L.A.? I wonder if it is still there, as I don't hear much about it anymore.
Cheryl
-
We live only 30 minutes south of Legoland which is actually in Carlsbad (north of San Diego), about 45 mins south of L.A. Really cool place for kids (and die-hard lego fans, like me :D). Maybe our next get together should be in Legoland dressed in pirate outfits?! LOL. Imagine all of us wenches and scallywags running around there. A real pretty sight ;) What the heck, we are kids and pirates never grow up!
My mom got this ship for Alex when I was in Hong Kong last month. Not sure if Alex or I had more fun building it ;). Love putting those pieces together especially when you get close to finishing it and you don't want to stop... They are so addictive!!! We officially christened the tender "Pearly" ;D ;D ;D I think we may nickname the Pearl PBW...
Now we have to find a place to put this among all the other lego toys that Alex has --- Star Wars, Harry Potter, Racers, etc. Does anyone have any idea what to do with all these legos? Help! We are running out of room!!
-
Hey crew of the Good Ship PBW, looks like Batty's toys are working, maybe the puterologist has recharged the batteries coz tyhe ship is now only half way sinking but starting to bounce up again, water is being released from the ballasts and there is hope yet for future sailings.
Stay Tuned.

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRR Mateys!!!!
Wenches and Scallywags, too.
Well yer dear Captain has been in sick bay since the day after Christmas when she got whacked by the upper-respiratory fairy! Thought I were gonna cough up a lung! and that brought on the evil Headache Fairy who's been gettin past Patti-yootee and her magic whapper!!! Shivver me timbers!
Love the leggo pirate ship--we be plannin a pirate party for Thing 1's 4th birthday and me and Dr Love got him something similar. I wanna go down and unwrap it and test sail it in me bathtub, but Dr Love won't let me.
Hope all you scallywags and wenches made it through the holly-daze with none but a few battlescars and all the teeth left in yer head!
Love and smoochies,

AAAAAAAAAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good news, wenches and scallywags! Me an' my Dr Loooooove is off fer a romantic Beach weekend on the NC coast! We haven't done that in 2 1/2 years-- between my headaches and his kids and the grandkids we've had very little time for ourselves. I'm so excited! Little hotel right on the ocean and just the two of us. It's supposed to be 70 degrees (as opposed to the 29 degrees outside right now.)I'll keep a weather eye out for that terrible Bluebeard.
I officially appoint Our First Mate Gennysmom to man the helm (woman the helm?) this next few days--and I'm instructin her to keep alla you scruves in line and sober--(relatively sober) and outta trouble, but I'm leavin her some bail money just in case.
Now you all be good and mind the First Mate or the Master-at-Arms will have ter fling yer inta the brig. And Pearly Girl--please try to figger out a way to keep this lot busy whist I'm on shore leave!!
So if I'm quiet this weekend, I ain't sick. Just havin' fun with my scallywag!
Hugs,

So what's everybody been up to? Laz, are ya having fires down there now? Thought I heard something on the news about that. I'll bet it's miserable hot down there now.
Hope everyone is feeling better.
Sue in Vancouver
Time for a silly poem! It's been awhile, after all.
Looking about,
Not a soul in sight,
Hope everyone,
Is feeling all right!
Weather was hot,
Then it was cold,
Snow and ice,
Made a slippery road!
Hope all are safe,
And snug in your home,
January's not the time,
To get out and roam.
But for our Aussie pals,
It's different altogether,
Summer's in high gear,
Time for HOT, HOT weather!

Good thing I gots only one ear and it be the opposite side of the hook!
I loved the "Lorry-ette's" new epistle (that be a po-em, ye blaggarts)
Capt Deb 8)

Can't wait to see the pictures of the wee pirates. How fun!
So I was thinking....if I had a video camera I'd video me in my pink pirate t-shirt and jewelry and socks and audition for Deal or No Deal and tell them they have way too many young people on there and that some grey headed folks needed their turn at trying their luck to snag some money. Then, when I get on there, I'd be in the T-shirt and my "schtick" would be the pirate stuff, and the models would show up in their pirate dresses and I'd be looking for the treasure! Wouldn't that be cool!! Okay, so I'd look like an idiot, but the rest of them do too, and some of them come away with a bit of loot. But they want photogenic people, and that I'm not. And I don't have a video camera. So if one of you people want to run with the idea, then go for it and send me a percentage of your earnings! I think 10% would be fair. Kind of like an Agent's fee. ;D ;D
Hurry before somebody else thinks of it!!
Sue in Vancouver
-
Sue,
I like your idea, but I'm not photogenic either. Capt. Deb, are you tryin for sick bay again with all of those hollerin preschoolers? Whew...you're a better granny than I am with only one ear! I won't tell my grandson that you did that for yours, so he won't make that kind of demand on me!
BrendaO
-
Great idea Sue!!! and of course we would all be in the audience (in full pirate gear as well) cheering you on!!
cheryl
-
Sue--wot a fabulous idea--pirates is all the rage lately!!!
Brendalu--you shoulda seen me runnin around in the woods hiding the shells for the "treasure hunt" in me boots and cutlass and no balance! The yard ajoins a bike path in a public park and a gruop o' bikers came a ridin' by and looked at me like I was nuts! Or drunk! I just waved me cutlass at 'em and yelled "AAAARRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!" and hoped they wouldn't call the po-pos on their yuppie cell phones.
Capt Deb 8)
-
well, we could do a test run at the symposium in full Piratuude *looks over shoulder for the "Director"* ;)
Deal or No Deal? I want to be the baank-a! :D
-
Capt Deb
Can I get a home video of that one? I'm going to have to get out the Depends 'cause I'm laughin too hard! Your Thing 1 and Thing 2 are very lucky to have you! (You should've had your grog with you too and you could have toated the yuppies!)
Brendalu
-
OMG, Deb, you are hilarious!! I wanna be your neighbor!!
I know, wouldn't that be a great Deal or No Deal show? I sure could use some "loot". Don't know how lucky I'd be at picking out the right cases, but something would be better than nothing. Gotta get my hands on a video camera.

Floridiots, Port of Sarasota, Busch Gardens, Imitrex??? What tha? I would like to come along but you are talking another language so where are we headed?

Hi Chris,
See, we here in the land of the US of A, can talk just as confusin' as you Aussies can! Most especially when it's our beloved Cap't Deb with her Pirate lingo thrown in. You should read what she posted to me, after the captain hurt her tongue and she lisped all the way through the post. It was hilarious!!
I shall translate, if that be okay, with ya, Cap't Ma'm.
Floridots - the state of Florida
Port of Sarasota - Sarasota is a town in Florida
Busch Gardens - a family vacation spot with carnival rides and such. Click on the link below.
http://www.buschgardens.com/buschgardens_default.aspx
Imitrex - - A prescription drug (via injection...ouch!) our good Captain must take to control the evil Headache Fairy.
On behalf of all wenches and scallywags everywhere, we wish the Captain a good voyage and lots of fun. Just don't run into any stray tornados....k??
Sue in Vancouver (who wishes she could go to Busch Gardens, but no roller coasters, thank you very much.)
-
Howdy...
There are a few of us one-eared, cross-smiling survivors down here in the land of sun and crazy drivers!
I live in the Tampa / Clearwater area. Always love meeting new people. Just give a holler! But I seriously doubt I could hold up for any rides or roller coasters - the balance is bad enough and the brain has been jiggled around too much already!

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRR another wicked one-eared wench!
Additional translation:
Floridiot--Folks from Florida who have blue hair or no hair and drive up here to the mountains in late-model-no-turn-signal-equipped-Cadillacs (Caddies) at 20 MPH max speed.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know that I won't be coming onto this or the other site for a while. I am trying a new strategy to deal with not thinking about my health concerns. I love talking to you all as it often makes me laugh a lot but I am wondering if it also encourages the deep (or not so deep) recesses of my mind to think about stuff I don't want to think about. Anyway, please feel free to send me an email offline whenever you feel like it even if it is just to say hi, you want to fly me over to America to meet you, shower me with gifts etc ;D. Just wanted to let you know my decision is totally about me. I didn't want you to think I have decided to snub you. Thanks for all your support and encouragement over the time.
Regards and big hugs.

Well, Chris, you might not see this then.... :(
Just wanted to say that I understand. I, too, wondered if "dwelling" on the subject was good or bad for me also. Let us know how it works!!

Im feeling really sad today. Don't know why. Just needed to write my AN family for support. None of my other friends understand me anymore. :'(

Redgrl,
I'm sorry you are feeling sad today. I do understand that emotion and others not understanding it. We are here to listen, to be your sounding board. Write away. Why is today making you sad? Did something happen or is it just one of those sad days we have? Whatever the reason we are here for you. I hope you feel better.
Hugs,
Brendalu

Yeah, definitely thought about goin' to Mickeyland, but don't know how I'd fare--anyone else been to a noisy crowded hot place like that post-op? Anyone with headaches been? There be a jillion touroids here right now and the traffic is hellacious! I just close my eyes and let me wench-friend Marge do the steerin' (she's 81 and don't seem to be a day past 23.) Just drives that big caddy right through the traffic AAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe I need to start a thread about theme parks and coasters. I just want to ride the POC ride and go to the pirate store. I need some new threads.
Capt Deb 8)

Hey Cap'n Deb,
I actually did go to mickyland in CA last spring and rode the space mtn just ta see what it would do to me. On the ride was ok, but after was not so good. stumbling fer what seemed like the rest of the day, the crowd was not a good thing to be in. the swarms of people really got to me, noise too, me head hurt all day. Don't think I want to do mickyworld, too much there. Gots ta go ta Orlando on a buisness trip with hubby in May, want ta stay away from mickyworld.
Find yerself a quiet place on the beach and plant it. Great way to vacation with the headmonster, sitting in the warmth, can't get any better than that.
Well, gots ta go back out in the blizzard in the AM ta get all the splenda off the drive so I can get the car out. You think about that while baskin in the sun down in blue hair world.
enjoy

If you can't make it to the Land of Pirates you can always order online! You could put dark glasses on (very dark), get a wheel chair and a handsome pirate to push it and some good ear plugs and go any way! I could only handle one day of it before the AN and the headaches!
I love watching the blue hairs drive! Big Caddies and get outa my way!!!!!!! Hope yer havin a good time.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! :-\
I be missin ye blaggarts as well--I have limited puter access and can check my email, but marges puter seems to disappear all outgoing emails I have written. So don't think I 'm not readin' all the emails on our "family email tree." i just can't reply for some reason. (I just had to explain to Marge what a cable modem was today.)
Decided to opt for a day at Siesta beach instead of Micky for this trip. Next year I'll have Dr Love wiv me and we'll get a room so's I'l have a place to crash. My friends took lotsa pics of Capt Jack and bought me some POC do-dads fer me Pirate ensemble(like I ain't already got 'em all.) I'll be back home a week from Sat and will resume my daily forum blather of answereing evey post again. yeah, like Mrs Baxter.
Love you blaggarts

Laz, If you be reading this, this thread is gettin boring and we needs a bit of yer chronology to spice it up a bit!!!!!

Hi all,
Bin a while since me feet have step forward onto the good ship PBW, bin rather poorly lately and still fightin the dreaded headaches. Took a week off and basked in the sunshine at Surfers paradise, (this here ship went there abvout 70 pages ago!) It was fantastic, basically spent 5-6 hours per day basking in the 30 degree sunsg=hine by the gynourmous pool, going for the occaisional dip (not skinny) and suckin on the tinny (drinking beer from a can). No typo there either!
The rest was great but the headaches didn't go. Sometimes, I just feel like hitting the head against a brick wall. Unfortunately didn't vcatch up with Chris but maybe next time.
We'll have ta crank up the engines we don't have, hoist the sails (might need a bits of oil in the pulley system), lift the anchor and set sail for our mystery destination.
Stay tuned me mateys
Laz

blows BIG smoochies to Laz :-* :-* :-*
this thread still lives?
*faints in disbelief*
-
Well, tis about time this here sorry excuse for a pirate crew gets their collective arrs's off their collective barco-loungers and man the mainsail and hoist the jib and swab the deck and such like that. And Laz, I think when they cracked open that Aussie skull of yours, some kind of bad ju-ju entered into your noggin and the darn thing has been trying to get out these past 4 years or so. We need to find a witch doctor on some exotic island and he/she can work some magic on ya, ya poor lad. Ya's don't deserve to have the headache plague. None of ya's don't. Tis not a fair world, but then, it never was. :(

Hi ya guys,
Bruce, two strikes I am afraid. It was VB (Victoria Bitter) the best brew in the land. Once upon a time it used to be 7% but with all the drink driving laws these days, it's a mere 4.9% - now costs ya almost double ta get drunk!
Now where shall the good ship go to mmmm, Laz puts thinking cap back on and "blank" mmmm, tries pacing up and down the room but gets told off fer wearin the carpet out, mmm perhaps, nah, mmm, all this neurontin is affecting the brain (whats left of it) mmm, I know, but you'll have to stay tuned. Will the good ship PBW remember how to go forward? will the Captain run her aground again (Laz ducks for cover big time) will, phew, just missed that scud misslie!
Stay tuned
-
Let the frolic begin! Put the headaches asunder! I wish. We can go somewhere with roiugh seas and all get very dizzy and hit the deck and knock ourselves out and then we won't know which headache is worse. Glad you're back Laz.....................

This is your cursed, cruise director, here to inform you that our fearless Capt'n Deb has returned home from the land of twue pirates (ok, FL ya'll!) and is now in sick bay. Did a ship-to-shore call with her yesterday and she's laid up with pneumonia of sorts... so....time to rally all scallywags and wenches and make the germs invading our Captain's body walk the plank!
feel better, Captain! :-*

AAAARRR
Captain Deb, we needs ya back on deck - pneumonia is not on.
We needs a poem young Sue!
Get well soon Capt'n , the good ship PBW cannot set sail without our Captain.

Been reading through some of this extended "thread"....WHEW. Just got back from teaching yoga, feeling good. Rainy and dark in warm S. Florida today, guess that's why I'm feeling "off", need to turn on some lights! You guys this is eating me up inside...what does "PBW" stand for?
-
Hey Karen,
if you go to Page 1 or 2 or 3 (somewhere wayyyyyyyyyyyy back there), you'll see that "PBW" stands for the PrincessBattywench. Yes, we named the cruise ship after our dear posting-cohort-in-AN-crime, Battywench....
signed,
the cursed, cruise director :)

Karen, this thread is best savored from the beginnin'--Brendalu stayed up all night readin' it once apon a time. It is a historu of the PBW, of which we need a ship's navigator and since you have yerself sailed the seven seas, the job is open! You gotta share it wiv shoegirl, but she won't mind, were all nice about that stuff here, 'cept for me, I be the Capt and I don't have to share it wiv no one! (well, not today anyway--me pirattitude is hangin' out--fixin' to go to court today fer me big disability trial!)
I'll have to admit, this job on the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench has help wiv the olde depression monster that had me in its grip for 3 years!

Good luck in court. I already had my day in court (they threw it out) last week. I am embarrased to say mine was for not carrying a "tool" to pick up after my dog--$130 thank you very much! I was out walking for exercise and brought my dog for his too, knowing he wouldn't "do the doo" I didn't bring the "bag". WRONG decision, unbeknownst to me, and was stopped by the Humane officer inquiring if I had a bag, to which I honestly replied, "no." Tie me to mast and flog me she did. Long story short after pulling up and printing out the "true" law off the city's web site, the city attorney saw how ambiguous it is and decided to drop it. Although I did pay court costs of $78. So now I carry not one, two, but three bags cause you never know if after one "squat" there might be another so I need the third bag to keep me off the Group dubbya bench! ;--) Here's an interesting moment for SSDers. Upon entering court there was a sign reading hearing devices available to those in need. Well, I needed as the judges voice got lost in the very large room, so I inquired, only find out I would have to reschedule so they could accomodate?! Whaaaa? Oh the plight of the handicap, right? Could be worse. Anyway, keep your titles of Captain and Navigator, I'll keep mine as Admiral! "TENSHUN! I hearby declare the rest of the month you all have shore leave! Report back on the 1st of the month with any and all treasures to share."
-
Okay Laz, you asked for it. ;D Kisses for the "young" part! :-* :-* :D
Come one and all and have some fun,
Read this great story from page one,
We've sailed all over this here Earth,
Providing fun and joy and mirth.
We've had some troubles, that's true
But let me tell you about this crew,
Steadfast, loyal, brave and strong,
Nothing stops this gang too long.
They've got your back where e'r you go,
And maybe some rum, yo, ho, ho!
Imaginative fun fuels our cybership,
But the people are real, on this crazy trip.

Alas I did not do as instructed by my captain and "read the whole thing through!" Seems my comentary brought the PBW up on Minerva Reef, lying on her side waiting for high tide to float free once again on her way. "Stick to the story line, AAAAWWWWWKKK". I beg forgiveness.
Crawling off groveling head and shoulders rounded in shame.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!![/glow
I see ye wenches and scallywags be at it again. "bout time this here ship gets movin' Been stuck on some forgotten shore for far too long now.
Hope yer feelin better Cap'n Deb. How did court go?? Have the powers that be crowned ye pirate disabled today? How did the full pirate gear go over in the courtroom? LOL
Patti ut

With da Capt'n up and about and Dr Luuurrrrrrrrvvvvvveeeeeeee bo-legged, the good ship PBW creeks and crawls its way from anchor, slowly but surely, fully laden with all da treasures a pirate could want. Plenty of chocolate and loads a rum.
Captain Deb, standing on her head squarks to the crew "all hands on deck". the disabled bodied crew respond as they know how, by hitting the stores supply and going for the chocolate.
The Captain is furious, but decides, what da heck, I'll join 'em.
Meanwhile, the good ship PBW has got into a breakneck speed of 1 knot, 2 knots, 10 kinots, 30 knots and is rocketing through the waves. The crew, well they are so immersed in their treasure cove of chocolate, they are oblivious to what has happenned to the good ship PBW.
Stay tuned for the next exciting episode, - will Captain Deb decide to stop standing on her head? will the ship run out of chocolate? where is the good ship heading to? stay tuned

Hi crew. I've only been coming to the board every week or so lately, and, with all due respect to the "Good Morning" thread, I notice that nobody is posting any "real" questions or comments. Have we posted all of the info there is, or did they find a cure?
-
AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Kilroy--
The only cure fer what ails us lot be a sail through crystal clear blue waters, a little dancin' to de jam band, a few Pina Coladas (or some grog if the blender wears out) a few Greek gods or goddesses, and a small amount of really good chocolate!!!!!
Captain Deb 8)

If there is a cure, why wasn't I notified? >:(
dang it!

(Great to see you, Capt'n, up and about..... do we turn the ship wheel's back over to you or is the ship's Doc still keeping you in sick bay? :-*)

::)A cure? Who found a cure for all that "ales" us? I think I had too much of the bunny's chocolate ear. Or maybe it was the TimTams. The blue waters and sandy beaches are calling us. Where are we off to? We all need a break from the headahes, the dizziness, the falls and the "bad" 'tudes! Did I read someone dared not read this thread from the beginning????? How horrid!! Walk the plank!!
It's a best seller. It needs to be published.........................

Ahoy you felloow headache sufferers. On our local down under 60 minutes program on the weekend, there was a report on a new breakthrough headache treatment. It was tried on Symantha perkins (kerry perkins wife). kerry perkins was a recent swimming gold medalist for our sunburnt country. Anyway, apparantly, she suffers migraines for 20 years (no AN) but every time she had a baby, the hormone levels increased causing more migraines. Anyway, the guts of the story is that there is a quack, whoops, doctyor here who is head of a major hospitals pain management clinic who has devised this impant that is attached to the brain that has resolved all of Symantha's migraines completely.
I will find out a bit more about it over the coming days and will also try and book myself in to see him.
Until then all scalleys and wenches, we turns the ship around an we be sailing fer da Royal North Shore Hospital in downtown Sydney in search for the holy grail of headache cures.
Stay tuned fer more detail
Laz

Laz,
Even thou I have a zipper in me head, I don't think I want anyone else poking around in it. Ar ya sure it has ta be an implant????????????????????
Brendalu
-
hey brendalu,
Unfortunately yes. It looked like the implant wasn't moving when they put it in so no fear of becoming a Klingon!!
It's about a 4 month wait to get to see this guy so must have patience. By the way, I'm with you kid. I'm not sure I want anyone else delving into the head again after my last experience. I think you stay awake during this procedure too.
Laz
-
::) Wellllllllllllllllll nowwwwwwwwwww, since I sleep through almost everything these days.......... I'll not be getting that thingy done. I am not near brave enough. Sure am anxiuos to hear the results though....
Are they really long term or just another quick fix and then there is something else someone else wants to try. Ouch! I'm doin the Imitrex shots and they only take the edge off. I'd be willing to try something else but opening my head up again just isn't one of 'em.
Maybe some of these docs need to experience these headaches and then maybe........................ We can dream can't we??????
Where is this ship headed now?
Brendalu
-
I'm sitting here today wishing for them implants right now---NO not THOSE implants--thet one Laz be talkin about. Had a real brainbuster yesterday after driving to the doc, the car dealership, and ye olde apothecary fer me drugs. A toss-up between finding a place to shoot up or just getting the heck HOME! I ran outta me cough med and the telephone answering gal sez "no refill--gotta come in--it's our policy." Turns out that particular med is enjoyed by some folks a little too much these days.
Anyway, I saw a similar program a few years ago and Dr. Love wanted to have one installed in me head immediately. The daily brainwrecks tapered off to weekly brainwrecks pretty soon after that, however and then I found the headache Wizard who's got 'em down to bi-weekly pretty much and not as intense--like Brendalu sez--the Imitrex shots take the edge off.
Geesh--I need a virgin Pina Colada and a BEACH!!!!!!
Later,ye scallies,
Capt Deb 8)
-
Wow, I take some time off, due to my computer troubles and such, and find out the headache fairy has been super busy, everyone is passed out on chocolate and the Goode Ship PBW is flying over the waves like a torpedo.
Anybody got a MAC computer? We have been thinking about changing. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get my info from one computer to another without losing anything. NATE, ya scurvy dog, where are ya?? My Windows 95 doesn't like the flash drive I bought. So I have to take that back. Bummer.

Hey Sue,
Times ya moved on fropm win 95. As for Macs - well, depends on what ya wanty tio use it fer. They are a bit dearer than PC's. If it be purely surfin and the odd document then go fer p.c. if ye wantin to be a real geek and hook up wif'em ipod and itunes and i this and i that, then go der da fruit machine. It's also better fer graphics and stauff but yer gots to be prepared to pay fer da software which don't come cheap.
As for the implant, Its about a 4 month waiting list to get to see da pain management quack. Lotsa neurontin here i come.
Must get them oars out fer da boat and start movin dis ship when all da crew gets outa da sick bay.
Who be da ships surgeon - a drunk he/she must be. Thats what all da pirate ships have - a drunk surgeon. Actually, I would have preferred a drunk surgeon work on me rather than the %$%^$&^$R one that did my op!!!!

To insert a pic, is Ralph's pic posted on a website, such as MySpace or Frappr? You would use the 2nd icon above (Below the "I" ) to "insert image", then between the insert brackets, insert the URL for the picture for where it is (ie: MySpace, Frappr, etc)

Thanks for the input, Laz, about the computers. I'm interested in graphic stuff, and the PC's don't do very well with that. Anyway, we'll figure it out eventually.
So, Larry, our dear Australian friend, I got my National Geographic in the mail the other day. So have you ever been bitten by a Bulldog ant? Never heard of them before...and they are in Australia and they look like the meanest ant on the planet and sounds like if you get bit by one, it's terribly painful. So, just wondered if you've ever crossed paths with one of Australia's Bulldogs. (Speaking of dogs, but these aren't them! ;D)
Sue in Vancouver USA

They gots ants as big as Bulldogs in Oz??? Jeepers creepers!! I thought the birdy-sized roaches in the Caribbean were nasty!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Dare I mention Camel Spiders?
-
Ants as big as buldogs - humbug yer scurvie ridden wenches! We gottem bigger than elephants!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, on a serious note, we just callem bullants and whilst big, they are usually in the bush so when ya go fer a hike and sits yerselves down ona log, be prepared ter get lotsa stings in the butt! They do hurt - apparantly. A bit more painfull than getting attacked with one of Batty's feather dusters!
I guess they's be about an inch long. Funny but, if abnts could see, waddya reckon they'd think of us? - meal for a year????
I have seen some geographic shows on ants (became an expert when one house we lived in was infested withem), and in the jungles of south america, they work as real good armies and seem to have great strategies for attacking their prey.

Hey, for the Forum, I think we need to line up all the World Renowned Neurosurgeons out there and find out which one is really the best. How about a pumpkin carving contest? ;D

Gennysmom will probably donate the spork that was used on hers!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Wow, melon baller, what a hoot! My doctor will probably bring his filet knife as he described tumor removal similar to fileting a fish?! Sounds "fishy" to me. Probably best to have all doctors enter through double doors as neurosurgeons tend to have large heads (not my description, but one of their own). Hey, can I have the pumpkin seeds to bake for a snack while we be da judges of their talents?
-
Pumpkins, knives, neurosurgeons, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Sounds like a project.
I reckon ya should wallop a few of em on the head a few times so they bcome a bit more sympathetic.
Laz
-
For nominations for the Pumkin carving contest I asked a few Neurosurgeons who the three best Neurosurgeons in the world are. Every Neurosurgeon I asked had trouble coming up with the other two. ;)
For compassion training, perhaps we could have AN doctors enter a three legged race, but they all have to wear a "cold" device in one ear like the one they use to incapacitate balance in one ear for vestibular function tests.

Now that I have this thing out of me noggin, I've been thinking about renting out the extra space. I could charge a good price for it, since it hasn't been used much-- at least that's what I've always heard, that I'm not using me nogiin.

Fellow Matey's - Looks like someone over at CBS has been reading through our "good morning" thread and come up with a Pirate themed reality show called Pirate Master. It's about 16 modern day pirates living aboard a 170 foot pirate ship looking for 1 million in gold. Their high seas adventure takes place in the Caribbean and every week someone must walk the plank. Think it starts in the next week or so?

"Someone get me my eye gel, my eyes are burning too much to see, need moisture. Whazthat? Can't hear you, there's beez in me ears. Nope sorry just me "tinny" actin up. I swear I see somethin on the horizon. Cloud formation, could be land 'o' oz!"

Laz,
We've used up the last box of little umbrellas, and I'm getting tired of Rum anyway. So, for a destination, we need a place to replace grog provsions with something new. I suggest tequila, limes, seafood, and sun. How about Cabo San Lucas on the Baja peninsula?
Regards,
Rob
-
ah, the GrogMeister has spoken :) Ok, since I am cursed, Cruise Director, how about tequila shots in Fiji? New fun, shipboard activity... those with vertigo get to do 3 tequila shots, then walk the plank! Whoever doesn't fall off the plank gets the prize :D
-
Fellow Matey's - Looks like someone over at CBS has been reading through our "good morning" thread and come up with a Pirate themed reality show called Pirate Master. It's about 16 modern day pirates living aboard a 170 foot pirate ship looking for 1 million in gold. Their high seas adventure takes place in the Caribbean and every week someone must walk the plank. Think it starts in the next week or so?
Cheryl
Son of a bilge rat! I was down with a headache when they passed around the application forms fer that one!!
May 28th is the premiere of that one and I'll be tuned in. I thinks we oughtta follow them around and maybe infiltrate! You all know how I feel about the Caribean anyway.
Up the mast wiv ye Arushi! Find us some puffies to get we on we way!

*grabs onto stanchion to hold on for dear life whilst the PBW grabs a puffie* :)

I've never been to the Baja Penninsula and look forward to making landfall for one of those Cabowabo's. Does one need a BAHA to enjoy sailing the Baja? Humming to self, "What wouldja do wiv a drunkin sailor, what wouldja do wiv a drunkin sailor, what wouldja do wiv a drunkin sailor earli in the morn? Put em in the bildge wiv a swiss cheese bailer, put em in the bildge hmmmmmm...!"
-
Sounds like karen has had too many "puffie's" already!!!!!!!!!!
Ok ye wenches and scalleys,
Capt Deb sqwarks at the top of her tonsils (do birds have tonsils?) raise the anchor, drop the masts and all that other boat stuff, lets get a movin.
The PBW moans and groans like an old w ... oops, best not go there! and struggles to make any headway at all. The wenches have been eatin too much chocolate and drinikin too many tequilla's or was it too many umbrellas?
The bird Captain banging her head on the neurontin packets in disgust, yells at her crew to get the oars out - we gotta row. Well, ya reckon the crew were happy - yeah right. The crew then get themselves into a huddle, led by the unabled cruise director who hands out a tin of chilli flavoured baked beans to all the crew. (you know where this is going don't ya?).
In a moment of brilliance, after the crew downs the baked beans, a huge wind gust is created and the PBW begins to move.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR smells the Captain, whoops, that should have been yells the Captain!
So the PBW is off again, to a destination unknown but with plenty of dramas to unfold.
Stay tuned when we find out whether the crew has been gassed to death? where will the good ship PBW sail to, will it be some exotic beach paradise? or has the compass gone mad and headed the ship for darker waters?
Stay tuned
Laz

Ahead, the stygian waters blink puddles and paths of moonlight as clouds scud across the heavens, trailing wisps over the moon. The ships' hull rises up, then down, with loud, creaking shudders as swells in the waves rock the boat. The wind has decided to pick up. Asleep on the deck is Capt. Deb dreaming restlessly of bilge rats; Ppearl lays wide-eyed against a lifeboat as another puffie heaves the deck. She is still holding onto a staunchion; Arushi has curled up against a pile of ropes on the deck and is humming fragments of "what wouldja do wiv a drunken sailor" although at a lesser volume than during the height of their party earlier that night; Headcase is asleep nearby, and can be heard mumbling about umbrellas and rum, now and again sitting up and shouting out "Baja" before slumping back onto the planks and sinking into a stupor. Dreams of canaries warble over the sleeping bodies on the deck.
Laz stands thoughtful, eyeing the horizon through the dark, straining to see through the shifting strands of light. He hears a sudden rush of sound, then a pause in the noise, and fearfully glances up. Twenty feet above Laz is the biggest, darkest wingspan of a bird that he has never seen before. Skinny talons and long legs dangle down and almost snag his head as the creature brushes past and, then, in a rapid beating of wings, turns and hovers lower, lower and lower above Laz...
Then....
-
aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my short and c.... oops, not going there.
Attacked by a feathered thing - time for more baked beans.
wheres the captain bird to my rescue aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh whoops again, its aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
laz

*puts clothes pin on nose*....
oy! Had to get us with baked beans, eh? ::)
LOL!
-
Hey, who's chef du jour? BEANS again! YUK! Where's my ear plugs so I can stop up me nostrils. I'm going aloft and claiming the crows nest for the duration of rotton stench on deck. Let's hang a "lewie" and take a heading for Cocos Keeling (a real pirates paradise) where there's real treasure buried before we come about for the Baja. SHAKE A LEG CAPTAIN!
-
The BAHA Baja it is then, soons we can catch Master Laz, who has got himself inter some trouble wiv a bird--no not a wench-bird a real monster of a one-eared bird wot has grabbed himself offa the deck!!!!! Lower the dinghy and crank up the Seagull outboard---we GOTS ter catch him or who will be around to tell the story or man the brig!!!!!
I think it be the great Bluebeard's Bluebird! The other scourge o' the seven seas besides our own Barnacle Brucifer!!!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!
AAAAWWWWWWWK!! AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWK!!!!!
Come back wiv my Master-at-Arms and Ship's Chronologer, ye dastardly winged fiend!!!!!!!
Stay tuned............

Without a 'puter on board the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench, and with no access to Google Earth, Laz realizes that whilst he is gripped in the clutches of this monstrous bird, he does have a really good view of the seascape below him. Between his screams of fury and fear, he takes out his Blackberry and is able to enter in the coordinates to the Baja coast that he can spot on the horzon, since the bird has flown to dizzying heights. Laz also has found that if he yanks on the great birds feathers, the bird will move in the direction that he wants and thus, Laz has figured out how to guide the bird back to the ship and the wailing wenches and scallywags, whose screams (especially Cap't Deb's...wow she can really yell!)he can faintly hear on the prevailing winds.
WHAT WILL LAZ DO??? (take it away, Larry!)
We were once fun and merry,
Then the bird, he got Larry,
Now he's just a speck in the sky,
Will we ever see this guy?
Laz hangs from giant claws,
Which does give us pause,
Can we sail on without him?
Chances are: none to slim!

Good to be back on board ;D
yet another masterpiece from our poet, I've missed you Sue!!!
Who is in charge of drilling the holes on the BAHA baja?

Ahh, Cheryl aka Matti Wench, ye is a good and kind woman to say such nice things about my limited talent in the art of poetry! As it's all in fun, I don't mind putting a few silly verses out there to help entertain the crew on our sloooooow voyage around the world. :)
I've got my mouth all set for a marguerita so, I do hope we can make landfall before we get sidetracked again.
But, it's all up to Laz, our lad from OZ and his wild and wicked imagination.

AHOY CAP"N!!!
tis wench patti yootee here, checking in after several months out at sea. Seems I got left outin the water swimmin off the coast of Hawaii me thinks. Can the good Cap'n swing the Goodship by and fetch me outa da waters? time to get the wrinkles outa me crinkly waterlogged skin. And boy culd I use a tall glass of grog.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR
-
Ahoy Capt. Deb! Thanks for the link, I just checked out the crew of Pirate Master and there are some fine lookin scallywags aboard that ship AAAAARRRRRRRRRR Might have to capture some of them and replenish the hunk hold on the PBW.
-
Seems that one eared monster bird was on a mission to pick up Laz, and was sent by a singing mermaid who saw Laz on board ship one day and decided she wanted to meet him. Capt Deb, we should rescue Laz maybe? He's been gone so long methinks he's having the time of his life and may never come baaaaack?????? without your help?
-
Methinks we have two longboats ter launch! One after Master Laz and one after Miss Pattiyootee-wench who MUST be really wrinkly by now! Someone prepare the flatiron to smoothe her back into shape!
Laz I am sure has been bewitched by a certain Starship Enterprise Ship's Counselor--Deanna Troy herself!!!!!! He's been moonin' over her for months, ever since the Puget Bay Chocolate Tanker Disaster. I think she sent Bluebeard's Bluebird (say it three times fast) to pluck him offa the deck o' the PBW!!!!!
Is he a kidnappee or a willing hostage? Will he return to us or choose outer space? Do he still luv us or not?
Oh woe is us if we don't get him back!
I'm sending out the following crew after Laz:
1. The grogmeister (of course! Laz must be pretty thirsty by now!)
2. Matti-wench--head chef (second only to drinking, Laz likes eating)
3. Batty and her box of toys (third only to the above two--Laz enjoys being "tickled.")
4. Arushi--cuz I know she knows her navigation and can get 'em all back home.
NOW-- Go forth and conquer!!!!
(Yootee, you'l have to swim part way cuz all you get is Pearly Girly in the Girly Whirly dinghy thingy!!! It be yer punishment for being AWOL!!!!!!)
Capt Deb 8)
-
Capt.,
Just one question. If we be seeing that bird again, will we be shootin' the bird?
Regards,
Grogmeister
-
It's not a Wendy bird, is it??? ;D
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Hey, no shootin' birds!!!!! Cuz I said so!!!!!!!!!!!
-
No, no, no. We ain't shootin' no birds! Dr. Love, who was born in Texas, knows a bit o' lassooin' and I've volunteered him to capture the foul feathered fiend, and we'll turn it over to Miss Gennysmom-wench to tame and retrain it so's it can spy on them blaggarts sailin' offa Dominica tryin to nab OUR TREASURE!!!!! Pirate Master my arse!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
AAAAAAARRRRRRR I not be a happy wench in hearing that Master Laz is a two timing scallywag. Tradin in the goode ship PBW for the Starship Enterprise is going to get him banished to the hold with no grog, food or bird watchin.
matti wench
-
Ahoy ye blaggarts!
I just got through seeing the first installment of "Pirate Master" and it seems they voted off the hunkiest scally on the ship, who was quite decorative, AND brought up the first treasure chest. So he can have a spot on the Goode Ship PBW as long as he don't steal nothing (like OUR compass) and keeps his yap shut. I believe Batty's toy chest has a device for the latter. The Wenches will be sorry to see such eye-candy leave national television (git yer Tivos warmed up!) but he'll fit right in wiv this lot. So open the Hunk Hold (be sure not to let Sawyer or Matthew out however) and fling 'im right in! :o :o Welcome aboard "John--Scientist/Exotic Dancer."
Capt Deb 8)
-
A fine looking scallywag he is and we definitely be needin a scientist/exotic dancer aboard the PBW. He does have a problem keeping his yap shut so I think a few days in the hold will do him good.
matti wench
-
OK I'll tell first Mate Gennysmom to add John to the ship's Manifest--"John, Official PBW Scientist/Exotic Dancer." Someone grab the chest hair removal hot wax!
Capt Deb 8)
-
as a licensed cosmetologist, I insist I do the chest waxing to make sure he is "buff" properly ;D His hair was lookin' mighty-fine as well... see Capt'n, I DID watch it :)
-
OK Pearly Girly, in addition to your duties as cruise director, you can be the Official Hunk Chest Hair Waxer on the PBW! Good job for a workaholic like you!
Capt Deb 8)
-
I didn't notice the chest hair, me eyes were focused on his 6 pack ;)
AAAAAAAARRRRRR so when we hear screams from the hunk hold, it be pearly girl the official chest hair waxer on duty :-*
matti wench
-
Whooo Hooo, this is gonna be better than choccie dipping Mathew.
gotta go watch the recorded PM from last night so I can check ot that 6 pack and chest hair. But can this guy do massage??

A fine looking scallywag he is and we definitely be needin a scientist/exotic dancer aboard the PBW. He does have a problem keeping his yap shut so I think a few days in the hold will do him good.

A strange message has been beamed to the goode ship PBW. The message is encrypted and is in Eagle speak. The only non eagle speak sentence is "if ya flea bitten wenches wants ta see ya master Laz again "..........................................................
Well, the wenches get together and not even the sqwarkin Capt'n or Genny can understand it. Genny does sqwark that its in white bellied eagle lingo!!! - clever bird our Genny. The wenches get into a huddle (they are good at that) and mumble, gossip about hunkamania, hairy chests, chocolate rations and then discuss how they are going to reclaim master Laz. We needs ta find an eagle decides the Captain.
Anyone got one??? asks mmm, best not to admit to that one.
Genny, the bird with the brains!!! again pipes up and sqwarks Austruckinfalia (Genny has a speech impediment) but the Wenches decide that it's the land down under we needs ta gets to to find an eagle to decipher the message.
Stay tuned when we find out whether the girly whirly dinghy thingy is circling around the ship in a drunken state with the grogmeister on board. Will yodelay wench be recognisable after many months soaking in the waters off wherever she be, will the crew find an island along the way with a forgotton tribe on it and be invited to dinner (wench for main course).
stay tuned

Ahoy mateys!
I saw on the ANA website that there is a Symposium workshop on post-treatment cognitive disorders!
I definitely have a cognitive disorder!
When I was a'wakin' up from the surgery I sez to meslf, I sez "AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR! Judgin' by all this rockin and a'rollin' this here bunk be doin', I must be on a SHIP somwhere out in the Middle of the Ocean and she must be blowin' a GALE up topside!!!"
Well, the gale has subsided a might, but I still believe I'm on a ship out in the middle of the ocean, in the company of a pirate crew and surrounded by sharks!!!!
Is there hope for me? ???

Are you sure the PBW didn't sail up the Columbia to Portland? We be having our 100th Rose Festival here and there is a beautiful Pirate ship hanging out at the sea wall with Pirates on board. I haven't been able to visit this ship in person, and I was sorry about that...but we did see it on the telly and it be a fine ship. I thought of all my Pirate mates and wondered if they'd slipped up the river without telling me!
Sue in Vancouver USA

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR
A pirate ship up the Columbia.
Captain Deb sqwarks the command to battle stations. All cew on deck. Forget about master Laz, we gots ta be plunderin and lootin. Roll out the chocolate cannons, distribute (big word for a pirate bird) the feather dusters, bring out the stubby holders (so ya hands don't get cold when suckin on the tinnie). We will show that rust bucket what a pirate plunder can be.
Will the good ship PBW make it up the Columbia? will the PBW finally meet its match? will the chronologer spring a surprise on the crew?
Stay tuned, same time, same channel.

Call me if anything exciting happens as I'm off to "sick bay" today. Taking percocet has an interesting effect on my balance--burrp! Need this pill now as recuperating from needle biopsy done the other day. Glad we didn't have a strong blow when the needle went in! Never been near the Columbia let alone "up" the Columbia--hee, hee! I'm always excited for an adventure, so forward ho!

Ok just finished watching the second episode of Pirate Master, sure isn't the same with our scientist/exotic dancer getting the boot last week. This wench had to close her eyes when the crew was digging in the snake pit, guess I'm a wimpy wench :(

Mates,
This ship be a fine ship, but in case you want to take a wee cruise on the Pearl, one of the Wireless Phone companies has a contest "Party on the Pearl" at http://solutions.vzwshop.com/pirates/ toward the bottom of the page. I was busy doin' an inventory in the Grogroom, so I didn't look at the contest particulars.

AAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems our Cursed Cruise Director has gone AWOL for a time. Send out the Master-at-Arms with the manacles (womanacles?) to drage 'er back on board! Can you Imagine? Jumping ship without the Captain's permission!

"Well, slap me thrice and hand me to me Mama!" ye'v simply gotta go see this most excellent pirate adventure wiv Mr Johhny Depp once again at the helm o' the Black Pearl. And stay through the credits mind ye--there be a most interesting ending to it! Kinda leaves the door open to another POC movie.

Hey Captain Deb..... I saw the great movie (my first one since surgery).... but I didn't know about the surprise after the credits until we got home and my daughter told my husband about it ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! Now I guess I will just have to go see it again ;D .
Have fun in Philly.

Just wanted to say that the Pirate theme is still going strong....our county fair has a Pirate theme this year and will have a room devoted to Pirate stuff. Sounds fun! Then my cousins said they were going to have a pirate party. Wow...pirates are a hot commodity and I'm sure the "real ones" would be quite impressed with our current fascination with all things pirate.

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR all ye Wenches and Scallywags! All hands on deck and man (and woman) the cannons fer rumor has it that the dreaded Sea Monster is lurking around the peaceful smoothe seas upon which our fair and lovely Princess Batty Wench be sailin', and it be lookin' ter stir up trouble and such. Only a matter of time before it's great gaping yap opens up and tries to swaller us up! :o
Up the mast wiv ye First Mate Gennysmom! Keep a weather eye out!
See what happens when we all sail off to the fair Land of Brotherly Love for the Grand ANA Symposium and leave Phyll alone aboard ship all moonin' over her man and dremin of her upcoming honeymoon!

We should all buy piggie banks and start saving for Chicago--a few extra days before or after the Symposium together now that we've all met and realized just how fabulous we really are together would be great! I wish I'd had a few extra days in Philly. Especially without a headache. The pace was alot faster that this ole canon-shot bod was used to!
Capt Deb

The cannons be filled with sour cream left over from all the chocolate making, the crew of the PBW have been called to arms and are lining up for the feather dusters, the Captain is decked out with her feathers in her headband and away weeeeee go.
The good ship PBW has been sent on a mission to tackle the waters of the dreaded triangle where it be remured that the sea monster has returned from the dead and is lurking with intent to once again cause havoc and hysteria.
After picking up the yootee who now has more wrinkles (from being left in the sea too long) than, well, she's got lots. Lucks a fortune coz the PBW has won a reality show award and won an extreme makeover. One of the re-fits was a spa, sauna and hunk of choice. The yoowrinklytee has been rushed aboard to the pampering of.... anyway, we digress.
Will the crew become too complacent with the re-fit? will the yootee ever smooth out? will the sea monster be able to escape the attack of the feather dusters?
stay tuned.

wrinkly yootee here.......... glad to finally be pulled outa that water. Ships spa sounding pretty fine...... I may needs ta be in there a good long while, may be needin to round up them Greek Gods for the massage to smooth out the wrinkles..................catch after me spa treatment aboard the Goodship PBW.................AAAAHHHHHHHH Good to be back aboard.

For Phyl and her Sweet Iain (aka...Cheeky Bloke)
Hearts and flowers adorn the ship,
The parrot wears a bow,
Grogmaster has champaign to sip,
Food and drink begin to flow.
The wedded couple soon arrive.
Our crew shouts a mighty Hooray,
Capt. wants to sail with the tide,
So, hurry, let us be away.
The sea and skies are calm and clear,
Stars and moon shine from above,
Softly heard, "I missed you my dear",
A kiss.
A sigh.
So much in love.

beautiful poem Sue!!! Phyl and Iain will love it.

We sent Barnacle Brucifer over to Phyll's cabin to set up a "love nest cam." Shhhhh--don't tell no one!!!!! Phyll won't read this for days and days!
Great Poem, Sue!
What wiv Cheeky Bloke back aboard the PBW and all, the Dreaded Sea Monster will think twice about attacking lil ole gray-haired grannies (like me) and other wenches, not that we're totally defenseless. Strenghth in numbers. As if Cheeky Bloke will have an ounce of stength left in him after a few hours with Phyll! Heard she wove ropes wiv all the shaved off leg hair!!!! Good thing--we may need extra-----Halyards! That's it Halyards!
Capt Deb 8)
-
It will be good to see da Cheeky Bloke up and about!
Following an inventory aboard the good ship PBW, batty's stores were raided. Stocks of feather dusters and stuff have diminished. Now wonder who that may be??? mmmm? the finger is pointing at one cruise director who shall remain nameless!
Remember ye youngen honeymooners, them toys must be returned to fight off the evil sea monster and they must be in reasonable condition!!!!!!!!

I'm going back underground for a bit tho, have a trip to Montreal to make....passing over the Sea Monster by plane, will drop some dung bombs if I can!!!!!!!!

Sue great poem!
Peaberry? I'm hoping you mean coffee LOL
Kathleen that was one thick book! My son is not going to read this one I'm behind on the movies too >:( Def. need a break from accounting manuals for some juicy reading!
Captn' is the sea monster trying to wrap his tenacles around our ship again? Should I get the Tim Tams to ward him off? I see the scene from the pirates movie..can't remember what they used..surely it was a Tim Tam ;D

So glad you liked my poetic effort Phyl! So glad you are safe in each other's arms.

And as the good ship PBW sails along its merry way, the crew have been very vocal trying to pressure the sea monster into submission and to dive into the depths of the Bermuda Triangle where it will be lost forever. The sea monster doesn't seem to be responding to the chanting, ranting and raving. Although it has been given a second life, it appears that it is waiting for the opportune time to pounce.
Captain deb siezing the moment, declares that the good ship PBW is ready, armed to the teeth with batty's toys. We will strike down this sea monster cries El Capitanie.
The cruise director, who is now up and about, has decided that the crew needs a distraction as tempers are flaring and blood pressure is off the scale.
Can the girly divert the wild and wacky crew's attention? Will the sea monster surface and face the crew in a fight to the end of the feather duster? Stay tuned.

ATTENTION PBW CREW!
According to the Great Geneva Swiss Chocolate Convention, the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench will no longer have cannons aboard. We are a peace-loveing crew of scallywags and wenches and will have to find another means of battling the Sea Monsters of the Deep--short of hand-to-hand--combat which we wish to avoid.
Instead--we has a FUNNELLATOR!!! (Arushi knows what this gadget be!) Ye takes 2 looooong bits o' surgical tubing (left over from various shunts and othe icky AN proceedures), a big ole' funnel (used to feed new posties just after surgery) and ya drills a couple holes on the side of the funnell (with the left over skull drills) Attach the sugical tubing to the funnel, attatch the other ends to the PBW shrouds (the wire thingies that hold the mast up) and you have what amounts to a GIANT SLINGSHOT!!!
Now we has to find some AMMO. Now the usual ammo we uses be water-balloons. But, since we has sooooo much tequila and rum aboard, I suggest we use Margarita-balloons and Pina Colada-balloons. When the Sea Monster opens his big yap again, I say we fire one o' these puppies right down his gullet! Maybe wiv a few PBW cocktails in 'im he'll lighten up and find a sense of humor!!!
Grogmeister---fire up the blenders! We are on the attack!

Yes! "Pirate Master" finally has it's first female captain! Yes! Let's hear it for Female Captains! Well, let's just hear it period. (A little AN humor, there) Even though the show's been cancelled due to poor ratings and a cast suicide, you can watch it on line with new episodes posted every Tuesday. You all know I was a big fan although they din't show near enough sailing and voted off the best eye-candy in the first dang episode. Dint even show any flogging nor keel-hauling nor eye-gougin' nor nothin' of any real piratey magnitude. Nuffing like what goes on aboard our ship.
Not even rotten egg funnellatin'. Wimps.

Our county fair is on right now and they be having a big Pirate themed building with all sorts of Pirate events goin' on, such as Treasure Island, pirate movies, pirate re-enactors doing some sword fighting, talk like a pirate contests and such like that. My husband isn't so keen on goin' to the fair this year, but I said we needed to check out the pirate stuff. I was considering wearing me purty pink t-shirt and matching accessories.
I may have to go as a singleton if me hubby is too embarrassed to be with a pirate lady.

About the sad suicide of the Pirate Master Contestant--of course it didn't happen aboard, but many months after the episodes were filmed. Some people are just overwhelmed by life. This AN thing and it's after-effects can be quite overwhelming, but we have the best support system in all of Cyberspace and Beyond! Don't you agree?

Capt,
I be hearin' (on one side) that the FTC is considering a change in the Chocolate regulations. Right now, to be labeled chocolate, it can contain coco butter as the only fat. The big bad mega chocolate factories want the FTC to allow other fats than coco butter and still be able to label it chocolate, to save 'em $$ of course. If anyone messes with our chocolate, they be asking to be flogged and walk the plank. This ship consumes more chocolate per capita, or at least per AN, than anywhere else, land or see. So I say we sail over to the FTC,and set the funellators up over by the poop deck, and let 'em know what we think about the idea of adulteratin' chocolate. Next they'll be trying to sell us watered down rum. AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Chocolate wiv additives? Bleah! Barf! Yuck! Blah!
Over the side wiv it!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Stick with the European chocolate...they have regulations about what chocolate can contain and be sold there, have a "brother" that works in Belgium in the "food regulatory" department of some part of the government. It's ridiculous, my mom wrote to Nestle one time, they make chocolate that's sold in the US and in Europe and it's vastly different, wanting to know why Americans didn't get the good stuff. She got a letter back that basically said Americans don't have a discriminating palate, so they make cheaper yuckier chocolate for us because we can't tell the difference. Phooey to that!!!!!!

Iain (CB) is in my office right now.. just read him Gennymom's (Kathleen's) comments about European chocolate... he confirms what she wrote as true....

I officially proclaim Gennysmom'smom ter be the Official PBW Chocolate Squeaky Wheel! That is sooo funny!!!! Nestle's is crap I agree. I actually bought a Hershey bar that proclaimed itself to be 70% dark chocolate and it was crap, too. Some kinda additive. Bleah. Put the sucker in the funnellator. I've been on a diet for 2 months. Dropped 12 pounds. Got another 10 to go to get to my pre-surgery weight, which is my goal in life right now. I've been jonesin' fer some chocolate. Dr Love, who got chased outta the house due to the Topamax crazies, went to the Earth Fare and bought me some Carob Chews. Double Bleah. It be the thought that counts, the sweetie pie love muffin that he be!
Be well and sail on!
Capt Deb 8)
-
It be Tim Tams for the lad down under. mmm, &^%$#$ additives - well, better check whats in 'em, on second thoughts, perhaps we are better off not knowing!!!
As the good ship PBW sails around the dark seas the captain in all her new found thinness exceept for the pulsating head (best clarify here for fear of being put on the plank and tickled to death wif 'em fever dusters) the pulsating head is from the drug induced cocktails of topomax, imagren, indocid and every other pill on the pharmacy shelves anyways, back to the good ship PBW's journey. before loading the Cannons with anti additive chocolate photon bombs, the Captain still has her sights on the sea monster who seems to be lurking but not attacking. The captain orders the ship to head for the Raven Under Shell Sea to try and spot the sea monster. In a loud squark, the Captain orders the crew to also be on the lookout for the Natural Feisty Trollop that has been seen lurking the seas in a menacing manner.
Stay tuned when we find out Will Captain Deb become impossible to see with all that weight loss? Will the Sea Monster and Trollop be found and finally zapparoonied? will nestle' go bankrupt after being boycotted by the crew of the good ship PBW - stay tuned.

We need to go plunder the friggin SWISS and not only get some choccie, but steal the America's Cup back fron the Alinghi franchise who beat Team New Zealand. It's not so much fun to watch the Cup any more as the teams are all paid sailors and not really countries no more. The friggin SWISS just has the most $$ to pay the best sailors is all. It's all about the $$ nowadays. O where's the glory in it all, woe is us! The PBW needs to get a Swiss Chocolate Bank Account.

I actually got to see the cup when It was at the New York Yacht Club before it went to California. Big ole shiney thing it were!

As the good ship PBW circles around and around and around the crew get anxiuos over their Captain who seems to be firing spit balls (small rolled up piece of paper through an empty pen shell) at a 15 metre floating piece of debris that was left over from the last bit of plunderin.
The Captain appears to be off the planet and high as a kite. The grogmeister concerned that is stocks have been depleted, quickly does a stocktake of the rum stocks and discovers nothing untoward. The able bodied cruise director who has recenytly emerged from her cabin declares that the Captain needs a soothing poem.
Will we find our (forgotton title of one who writes poems) be able to soothe our Captain? will the Captain's spit balls have any effect on the debris? Has Captain parrot got bird flu?
Stay tuned

Blimey, that cussed dog of a demented sailor FORGOT me!! Cor, it must be that wicked headache fairy be fying that poor man's wee brains! Understandable, but I shall ponder if it be a forgivable crime or if I shall have to insist on, shall we say, a share of said demented sailor's plundered treasures (I be thinking along the lines of chocolate, me poor confused Aussie lad) to set things right and to win my forgiveness. Some good Belgian chocolate ought to right this outrageous wrong, don't you think? Tim Tam's might even soothe me some...the double chocolate ones me thinks.
Poem, poem...hmmmmm, .let me put me thinking cap on...if I can find it.
A Soothing Poem
Gently, softly, our ship is sailing,
Wind is pushing her on out to sea.
Gulls are crying, boards are creaking,
Ocean sounds are putting us to sleep.
Sunset colors - pink, orange and yellow,
Fill the sky with majesty,
As it fades we sink into darkness,
Night time comes so quietly.
Troubles fade away into nothing,
As our ship sails into the night,
Oh dear Captain, we hope you're better,
As we want you to be all right.
(and to quit throwing spit balls at us!)
Sue in Vancouver

This ship is going no where fast. What's up ? Sue, your soothing poem really put the crew into a blissful sleep, or maybe it was the grog again. Gotta come up with an Energy poem and get this ship moving again!!!

Hi! I just started visiting these forums again and saw your name. It is great to see you are still participating. You may not remember, because you provide kind support to so many people. After my AN surgery in 2000, you were very kind and sent me very encouraging posts. You were also involved in the fundraiser for Ezzy, who a few of us got to know during her time here for surgery. I had the pleasure of meeting you and your husband in person when the ANA convention was in Anaheim, near Disneyland. How are you?

Raydean, I think you are right! I was just wondering where everybody went as nobody had visited the Good Morning thread or left a message in days! Perhaps I put them in a stupor! :D Or maybe it's the crazy weather the rest of the country is having....either they are treading water, sitting in a swimming pool to cool off, or huddled by some fire to keep warm...it's just crazy out there.

I wonder if Laz has had too much vegamite and not enough Tim Tams? ;D
Sue in Vancouver

Funny you mention that Sue, Walking to work yesterday and small jars of vegemite were being given away as a promo so had vegemite on toast for brekky this mng.
For non vegemite people - it's a very acquired taste. It's a spread that has a very strong taste and smell about it - not unpleasant but nonetheless, as a concentrated yeast extract, it's ok once in a while.
TIM TAMS ARE MUCH BETTER (shhh - had one of those too).
Better do some work now - mm, yeah, better????

Saw an interesting show on public television about the ship that brought some of the first women to Australia as prisoners and their stories and how they helped to civilize Australia. Very interesting.
Sue in Vancouver
-
Could you tell us the name of the show on the first women to immigrate to Australia? Ancestors on my father's side are from Sydney (originally England) and he has been actively researching genealogy. I know he would love to see it. Thanks!!
-
This show was about two women searching for their Australian/English roots and they traced it back to the ship the Lady Penrhyn. I found a link that talks about it a bit. I don't remember the name of the show and I tried to look for it, with no luck, on the Internet. This was all that I could find in a short amount of time.
I know this is the ship because the names of the women are familiar. The English government decided that they better ship off some women to Australia before the male prisoners went berserk and raped and God knows what else to the native population, which was already happening. So they parked this ship in the harbor and over the course of several months they gathered up suitable young women who were guilty of something and stowed them away on this ship and then when they had a boatload...off they went to Australia and it took them 8 mos or something to get there. The women were free to move about the vessel once they left England and apparently conditions weren't so bad for them as the idea was to get them to Australia in good health. Only one woman died en route. Many of the women, intelligent and creative and stubborn, made a good life for themselves in Australia and went on to establish businessess and raise large families and helped to bring stability and a bit of civilization to the new country.

Vegemite is similar ter the stuff I scrapes from in between me toes after wearin me boots fer several weeks straight. Yummmmm!!!!!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Is Vegemite like Lucille Ball's Vitavetavegamine?? or is it really the stuff between our Capt's toes? & what's Marmite?
-
Vegemite, Marmite, and Nutella are all great boat foods--no refrigeration necessary! Vegemite looks like the crud you clean off your kitchen appliances every two years with a toothbrush when you have one of those insane cleaning "attacks." Thank God I don't have those very often any more. They are associated with PMS and menopause and are an alternative to homicide.
Nutella is really yummy on "bikkies" or a sort of sweet shortbread thin cracker. My favorite is right out of the jar on my index finger. I make sure to wipe the engine oil or bilge water off it first so as not to pollute the jar.
My hubby's ancestors were shipped outta Scotland for stealing sheep--some to America and some to Australia! He don't steal sheep no more--he just steals hearts! (He stole mine fer sure!) ::)

Barnicle Brucifer ya scoundrel. Ye might make a decent aussie out ya yet.
Actually, the pic of the kids brings on that famous saying here - happy little vegemites. If a kid is happy or enjoying things, then you say that to them. There was a small crowd of idiots that wanted that saying outlawed playing the race game (re the colour of vegemite). Thankfully common sense prevailed and that small movement died a death.
As for the men in white coats - good guess Raydean but that place will remain a secret. Actually, vegemite goes really well with cheese. If you get a chance to buy some at the world markets then get a small jar coz it's stuff you need to grow up with. Actually, Capitanie, it's also good for polishing da boots.
mmm, tim tam time - woo hooooeeeee, now which flavour shall I have today, mmmm, 97% pure fat - great choice.

I always thought vegemite tastes kind of like Vitamin B smells. I think I tried it once. Makes ya wonder who thought up these foods. I watched something on TV the other night and this American guy wanders the world eating all sorts of "native" things, regional things, aboriginal things, some things that shouldn't be considered food as far as I'm concerned. I might have tried the fried worm things down in Mexico that he ate because he said it was like eating small bits of fried pork. But the mesquito egg thing he ate...he said it was very spongy. Eeewwwww. He seemed very enthused about it all, but I am thinking he was really trying hard to be happy about eating that! He rather liked the ant egg crepe thing, too. It just never occured to me that these things are edible. Rather eat a jar of Vegemite!!

TIM TAMS FOR LAZ

OK new contest--the grossest or strangest thing you've ever eaten. Lessee I've eated alligator in Mississippi and rattlesnake chili on St Thomas made by a boatload of crazed Texans from St Croix during a Chili cook-off. It won fist prize and was really good.
Anyone? Anyone?
Capt Deb 8)
-
Yeah, I've had the alligator, when we were in Miami. No it doesn't taste like chicken! With the seasoning and all it tasted like pork chops to me. I've had frogs legs and that tasted like chicken. At the Roadhouse Grill I had the Emu. Other than escargo and oyster shooters (oh yeah, the vegemite)...that's about it. That guy on TV would not think that was very adventurous eating!
Sue in Vancouver

MMMM one of my favorite topics - FOOD !!!! Now there's something I can relate too !! I don't think this is gross or strange, but I LOVE fried eel. We have it for Christmas Eve dinner, but I wish I could eat it everyday - DELICIOUS !!

The good ship PBW has hit turbulent waters heading toward the dreaded triangle. This triangle is full of nasty tumors spread all over the place, they are multiplying and causing havoc with the native wildlife.
Captain Deb musters the crew, "Choccies down wenches and scalleys", we are on a mission to destroy this ugly sea monster once and for all. Looks like we weren't successful last time or that sea monster seems to have multiple lives.
Off the Port bow Captain cries the lookout - It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's the sea monster, no, it's multiple sea monsters
Battle stations crew, to the armery, load all the guns, this is the biggest challenge ahead, orders the captain.
The ship is swaying in the turbulent waters and the crew are struggling to keep their balance on the deck. The sea monster is calling on it's siblings for assistance. It's the Good ship PBW versus the sea monster and siblings,
Stay tuned - Will the good ship PBW withstand the challenge that lay ahead? will the Captain fire her secret weapon?
Stay tuned.
Laz

multiple sea monsters? :o Oh, no!
*grabs 8' bullwhip and arms self to fend off those nasty tumors and monsters*

Crew,
Did you see the article about the lady pirate, Cheng I Sao? She was the most successful pirate of all time. She " controlled a fleet of more than 1,500 ships and upwards of 80,000 sailors -- and she did it all without the help of facial hair." Having lived with around women most of my life, it makes sense to me that the most coniving and bloodthirsty pirate of all time was a female. ;D Maybe we can get her to help with the seamonster and her kin.
She had some interesting rules (see the link to the article below):
"Cheng I Sao's most famous laws applied to the taking of female prisoners. Ugly women were returned to shore, free of charge. Attractive captives were auctioned off to the crew, unless a pirate personally purchased the captive, in which case they were considered married. Of course, if that pirate cheated on his new bride, Cheng I Sao had him killed."

Regards,
Rob

Yes, I did see the article about the lady pirate...but I didn't read the whole thing. I guess I should have.
Wow, I must be really out of it, because I missed this whole last business with the Sea Monster. Too busy down in the hold writing poems I guess and didn't notice an impending battle on the horizon. That sounds like me! Always the befuddled one.... :D
Sue in Vancouver

The Good Ship PBW, witrh crew dressed in full battle gear (bikini's for the wenches) armed to the teeth with feather dusters , cannons loaded with spitballs, the air is tight, a mist desends on the region of sea that is about to encounter the major battle of all time.
Captain Deb, sensing that she needs some help. calls on her mentor Cheng I Sao whose spirit still lives inside all the chocolate thirsty Captains (and parrots). "Cheng, Cheng, lend me your" (woops, wrong speech) "Cheng, Cheng", cried the Captain, and then in a moment of inspired madness, the Captain, hurridly moves towards the cannons, loads the "ace spitball" now the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy describes "ace spitballs" as a special weapon to be used by Captains when having a tussle with sea monsters.
the Captain removes the computer guidence system from auto to manual (very upmarket pirate ship this), aims and fires.
The crew nervously awaits the outcome, the spitball finds its target and in a moment not seen before, the spitball bounces off the sea monster and hits the sibling as well.
Woo Hoooo yells the crew, as the dreaded sea monster and its sibling fall and they sink into the deep ocean waters to never be seen again.
"It's party time for the crew, we are off to the bahamas.
Stay tuned when we discover that - mmm, dunno, stay tuned anyway.

Well lookie there Mary, smack dab in the middle of my kin! My favorite cousin lives up in the heights, and I'm about due for a visit! It's been two years since I've been back there. My great grampys farm was out past Laurel on the way to Red Lodge. I have such fond memories of going out there and staying at the cabin. In town, my family lived a couple blocks from St. Vincents...in fact, my great-grandmother's house is now a place for family to stay when they have someone in the hospital there. My cousin and her husband help run the gymnastics school there. I will put out the word when I'm coming next, I know Kristin is around there somewhere too, would love another excuse to meet more ANers out there.
oops, lost the wild west talk....we'll have to have us a visit and rustle up some of that good chow wagon grub at Famous Dave's!!! No lamb fries tho, even if my mom says they're good. ;D
-
welp! thar she is, Gennysmom, a lookin for another adventure........... Hey, Montana aint so far from these parts. we go up to Elk Horn Hot Springs every now and then, just north west of Dillion, kinda south west of Billings though.
Patti UT a Californian transplant to Utah....Park City that is.
-
You bet your behind Patti UT! I do need to go visit my cousin, been playing with my new found friends and ignoring my real family! But first, I'll be heading your way missy!!!!!! Can't wait to see you!!!!!
-
Howdy Gennysmom and Patti.
Be glad of a visit any time you mosey this way. Let me know when you'all are saddlin' up them ponies and heading out. I'll warm up the coffee grounds(minus eggshells) over the campfire and we can sit and tell tall-tales for a spell. I wouldn't mind being around a few people who tip over as much as I do. Winter is on it's way as I saw a dusting of snow at higher elevations this morning. That's good cause it makes the rattlesnakes get sorta lazy. Hope you're enjoying the fall as much as I am.
Mosey n' Mary

After a quick trip out West, we now have a several barrels of mescal and cheap whiskey to wet your whistle. Belly up to the bar. I also brought back Elmore Leonard to tell a few tall tales.
Rob (Grogmeister)
-
What tall tale you be tellin'? I could pull up a stump, settle in for a ear bender. Like, how in tarnation did you get that there scar up side the head? well, let me tell ya about the night the old grizzly came a lookin' for the blueberries I stole from his mountain side earlier in the day..... Maybe it was that ther mountain lion who took a hankerin' to my earring... Ya never know... Tall tales and grog. Sounds like it's time ta air the lungs...

I'll take some of that cheap whiskey in a dirty glass.....too scared of the mescal in my condition. Might think I be walkin' upside down in China if I lose my bearings!
-
Well, I'll be a bilge rat's arse-wart! The PBW has sprouted wagon wheels!

So I'll be needin cowgirl boots with my wenchwear ???
grogmeister - How many worms is a barrel of mescal? I ate one on a dare...never again :-X
-
The main deck has been converted into a saloon today. Plain boards have been set between hogsheads for the bar. Shot glasses will be provided (cleans one optional). Woms in the mescal optional. Western Boots optional. Hats optional. Stubblely three day beards required for dudes. Soundtracks from Clint Eastwood spagetti western movies are playing from speakers hung from the yardarms. The grogmiester is trying to figure out where to hang swinging doors to allow for the proper entrance to the saloon. "3:10 to Yuma" will be shown at dusk.

OK you sea-cowpokes. I can play this game! Here's me and "Tex" alias Dr Love at his 60th Birthday Bash. The boy was born in Texas, so I threw hm a Texas-style barbeque shindig--totally suprised his sorry a$$! I even built a gallows where we hung flatlanders who dint dress the part. Texas flags, wanted posters, cowboy music, YEE--HAW!!!

WHAT THE?????????? Cap'n Deb is a croww dresser, Pirate Captain Pirate by day, Cowgirl by night.
I can just see it, all the PBW wenches and scallywags in thier fallin over state that we are ARRRR ARRRR ARRRR
a tryin ta square dance on the ship deck after lotsza grog. We'd be spittin chewin tabacco all over and the cows and horses might be makin a big mess of the PBW as well. A western Pirate Ship we'd be the first of our kind.
Cheryl, I too did the mescal worm on a dare....EWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Hey, I'll be seein ya in Nov, how 'bout another dare?????
patti yootee
-
Now one cotton pickin minute 'ere.
Whats going on with this 'ere fine lookin pirate ship called the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench. A fine lookin construction it is but as a pirate ship. And the Captain - geesh, turn ya back fer a tobaccie chewin minute and she done changed outa 'er skull tatts on her .... am, oh yeah - arms and bloomers to be dressed like, like, lke, err arr, mmm, Annie go get yer gun (whatever her name was). Whats happenned to da eye patch and the crossbones?
This 'ere ship needs ta re-focus on what matters and get back ter piratin' and plunderin'. No horses head on the front part, this 'ere fine boat won't be turnin into no rust bucket destined fer boot hill.
Will the goode ship PBW continue to turn into a cow? will the chronologer need to be tottin' a 6 gun (or is that a 6 pack - of tinnies that is, liquid gold) to be ready fer a showdon at dawn? Will the Captain once again find her parrot and start sqwarking again?
Stay tuned.

Time fer a poem m thinks!
-
Now just you hang on a darn-tootin' minute. Terwen't never no talk about bailin' off the PBW-just more along the rope as a hankerin' ter jaw with some pals of kindred spriit. We all got a littl' a that pirate in us, wiether it be dust in the boots or salt in the lookers. Could be from the little hitch in the giddy-up that we had ta get past with them there bone-menders.
So you'all set sail for the high seas and i'll be two whoops and a holler away ta keep your backsides covered. We can share some tornado juice and tear squeezers when ya'll get back.
It be snowing in the high country and rainin' down below. Have a bust-up , ace high day!

Tear squeezers be them stories that make your eyes tearup. Most of us here done got only one eye that leaks anyhows. A few tall tales or them there poems would sure put me on the right side of my left sided hoss.

Now why does it not surprise me that our dear Captain dresses up as a land pirate? What other costumes ya got there up yer sleeve???? Nevermind, don't want to know!!!!!!
Glad to see y'all seem to be the real-deal cowpokes, no Dudes allowed!!!!! Dudes are them with the shiny town boots that will never see a speck of the cow flop on 'em.

Can anyone translate Mary's posts for me. I'm just a lil old (old be right) city boy from down under who's lingo stops short at: don't throw the raw prawn at me mate, dunny and of course tim tams.

Hey ya'll :) Anyone game for a round of buffalo chip toss? :D

Regular or BBQ style chips ? ;D

P.S. probably doesn't matter as these chips would all smell the same.

Well, tarnation, the Good Ship PBW has gotten herself stuck in the sagebrush and prairie grass of the old Wild West. She must be sufferin' from split personality and now fancies herself a prairie schooner, instead of a sea faring ship. Laz, Laz, what are we to do? Are we to travel the ancient trails of the Wild West and have to sing western songs and chug rot gut whiskey, or are we to return to the blue waters, sea chanties and grog? Laz, it's all up to you.
Save us!!

The good ship PBW has become a prairie schooner, sailing (for some reason) by the Double D Ranch.

ok, sing it with me folks!
*takes gulp of grog to get things going....*
1st Verse:
Oh, give me a home, where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Chorus, ok, all together now!
Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.......

Y'all do know that September 19 is Talk Like a Pirate Day doncha...
I was at school this morning and the poor teachers don't understand a thing the kids
are saying... lots of arghs thrown in
A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"
"What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine."
The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."
"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."
"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."
"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye."
"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird poop!"
"Well," says the pirate, "hey...It was my first day with the hook !"
-
Thanks Soundy for my chuckle for the day! Loved it.
Blimey, the wee little dogies be running along side the ship, Captain. Are we supposed ter be herding the little tykes, or are we supposed ter be fishin fer 'em? I be gitten a bit cornfused as ter which lingo I be spoutin on this fine talk like a buckaneer/buckaroo day. ,
Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em out,
Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide! AAARRRGGGHH!

Laz sits on deck in amazement as the cursed cruise director, running around in circles trying to muster up a bon fire song, is just doing that, running around in circles. On ya girly!!!! The good ship PBW seems to have been sailing on the desert sands and is now on a ranch facing some gun tottin' outlaws thinkin we be rustlin' their stock.
Will the Captain be able to steer the good ship PBW back onto the ocean seas? Has the parrot handed in her beak for a 6 gun? Will the good ship PBW be attacked by Geronimo?
Stay tuned

Is that the sea monster swimming around the PBW ??? How'd he make it to the Double D Ranch >:(

One of my favorite campfire songs, from a most amusing Canadian named Red Green:
"Oh, there are things you should never do,
don't eat anything you find on your shoe,
don't take a nap in the middle of the road,
don't ever lick a toad.
Oh, don't lick a toad, don't lick it,
you might as well just kick it, or
hey, leave it alone, it wasn't bothering you any,
just say no to toads"
-
dang blasted cane toads - a scurge they be.
In the state of Queensland they are truly a pest and they breed like.... well, leave that to your imagination. They were introduced from somewhere to get rid of some other pest. Well, that didn't work and now thse pesky little critters are migrating to other states. They hitch hike well. These wretched cane toads can kill ya if they spit on ya or soemthing like that. They are poisonous. So as the poem says,kick the dang menace.
Laz starts a Friday at work in a bad mood coz o these headaches. I know you are a carin' sharin' person el Capitani, but this is rediculous. - Glad to see ya recovered from that bout.

Kathleen, Kathleen,

You are just too weird! Which is why we are two peas in a pod! I taught my lil grandson to sing "Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat WOOORRRRRRMS!!!" when he was 3 (much to his Ma's dismay)He still loves singing it. The louder the better. We'll have to get on the phone so you can teach me the Toad Song so's I can teach it to him.

Mom here......it's a little dry here in the desert for a wet t-shirt contest. We corked some champagne and toasted ourselves last night, and have now moved on to the fresquila's. We need to move the PBW up here, grogmeister, it's much more potent at altitude. Chocolate may be too, off to go have some more Tim Tams..........
After more Fresquila and timmy tams, were off to the Olympic Park to see about doin the Bobsled or Luge. Maybe a ski jump or two, should be interesting since we don't have any snow yet.
No cowboy stuff round here....sorry mosy mary.
-
As long as we are in this here "Time Machine " with Clint and all, I vote we send Mom and Yootee these guys to play with.

Hey el capitanie, how about writing to "donald frump" and see if he'll sponsor this 'ere fine drunken, chocolate eatin' crew a round the world trip on one of his spare jets or ocean liners or space shuttle ;D ;D
Actually, a trip in the space shuttle would be cool - everyone is light headed in that thing!!!!

Hi Deb
I almost always have my cell phone on me, but yesterday I forgot it and missed Patti's and Kathleen's
call, could of used those boots to kick myself in the behind. I have my phone on me 99.9 % of the time. Sure sounds like they had a great time. Bet they are all ready thinking about another trip somewhere. Gosh, I got to win that lottery, Australia, Ireland, Utah, Florida, New England, California,
Dreaming away

Great boots there Rob, besides grogmeister, you can be our official getter of material things!!! Not sure if we have a quartermaster yet, but you'd do a great job!
UT definitely is great for the cowboy backdrop...even saw a shepherd tending his flocks!

This poor woman needs the to be rescued by the crew of the PBW, they left her in a CTI scanner and went home! Probably some people's idea of their worst nightmare.
http://www.kpho.com/news/14227870/detail.html
"After calling out, then screaming for help, she spent several hours trying to free herself from the machine. Finally, she wiggled out from under a heavy blanket and out of the machine. By the time deputies found her, it had been five hours since she was placed inside."
Arrrrrrrgghhh!
Rob

Oh poor Elvira! PBW to the rescue!!!!! Bet she was praying to the patron Saint of CT machines, whoever that is. Where do you find this stuff, Headcase?

Looks like the technicions had too much grog supplied by the grogmeister.
I don't get clostraphobic but this wopuld have tested me.

"Battle stations" yelled dear ol Captain parrot, "Battle Stations"
psst, Captain, why are we at battle stations? the chronologer whispers to the Capt'n.
With the wenches and scalleys lootin and plunderin the shores of an unknown secret destination,(got lotsa rum but), the Captain decides to put an end to the extended shore leave and has earmarked a plan that will take the Good Ship PBW on a world trip explorin and plunderin anything and everything that gets in the way.
Crew members fall in to line ' belly in, chest out', or is it the other way round? (the chronologer has sufferred with too many meds and rum and is still trying to flee those men in white coats.
The Captain, angrily flapping her wings is getting very despondent about the sloppiness of the crew to re-board the PBW and is throwing feathers everywhere.
Will the rest of the crew decide to return to the PBW? will the Captain have any feathers left before commencing the next sea voyage? Stay tuned

The grogmiester has been put off 'is rum after readin' about the followin', which was in an article called "Drinking Stories that put yours to shame" (http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/wayoflife/10/26/mf.drinking.storries/index.html):
" In 1805, British Admiral Horatio Nelson was killed during the Battle of Trafalgar off the coast of Spain. Most sailors were simply put to rest at sea, but as an admiral, Nelson had to be brought back to England for an official burial.
To preserve his body during the voyage home, the second-in-command stored Nelson's body in the ship's vat of rum and halted all liquor rations to the crew. Not a bad idea, but when the ship reached port, officials went to retrieve Nelson's body and found the vat dry.
Disregarding good taste (in every sense), the crew had been secretly drinking from it the entire way home. After that, naval rum was referred to as Nelson's Blood. "
The PBW will be servin' wine this week.

First Mate, reporting for duty!!!!!
Grogmeister...I've been on that ship, the HMS Victory, and the spot where Admiral Lord Nelson got smacked by a cannonball. It's docked in Portsmouth. The other thing they did was keep the men in the dark in the bowels of the ship, so when they got their daily ration of bread, they wouldn't have to look at the maggots in it, which was just more protien and good for them. So I'm thinking the rum with a little AL Nelson in it helped wash the maggots down. Yum!!!!
-
I be here Cap'n. Saddlin' up and skedaddlin' to the nearest dock. That'd be me with the 6 shoot'r. When ya'all sail by, throw me a lasso. Tho I ain't so sure about them maggots in the grub. A might unsettln' if ya know what I mean. I could bring along the thunder jiuce with the rattler in the bottom. Who-ey that's got some kick.

Lord Nelson's Dockyard in Antigua is a really cool place and the headquarters of Antigua Race Week, which I've been to a few times, I think (it's a bit of a blur, if you get my drift) Imagine hauling out those incredibly huge vessels with just slave-and donkey-power! Lots of the stone pilings of the haul-out troughs remain as well as the ramparts of the large fortress.
Anyway I digress. We are on a worldwide hunt for a skilled surgeon to fix Capt Deb's Head Cabinboy's wonkied-up back! No--I dint break it for him, he did it all by him self thinking he could load and unload a truck full of cement blocks all by himself. Duh! Double Duh!
So I'm flappin me feathers and squwarking around in a mixture of pi$$ed-offedness and sadness and great distress and I needs me crew around me right now more than ever! Or a Xanax cocktail!

Hey Deb,
Very sorry to hear about your hubby and back problems. I hope this ends quickly for him. Now, for you, have you tried B2 for headaches? Been reading a bit on eMedicine on losing hearing in serviceable ear and came across someone talking bout B2 for bad headaches and Menier's Disease. Supposed to be used as propholactic. Just a thought here. I'm sure you've tried just aabout everything by now.
-
No but I've tried the B52's cranked up loud and they gave me a headache! Tee-hee-hee!!!
Capt Deb 8)

Standby for that link on B2. Trying to "dig" for it now.

Okay here it is:
http://www.medhelp.org/Search/search3.jsp?hitsPerSite=0&lang=en&query=migraine+and+B2&search.x=27&search.y=12
There are 13 topics related to headaches and B2. Some have pain from Men.Dis., some migraines, and others. Sometimes doctors offer answers on this forum, sometimes patients, sometimes those in the field of medicine/ent but not practicing. Of course I trust everyone wanting to try this will check with their respective doctors before taking/trying what's offered in these topics. I found it interesting reading, supportive and informative.

It be All Hallow's Eve, and I've been a wearing me purty pink pirate gear all day. And out in public places, too, I might add! And, a few have commented that they liked me purty pink pirate gear.
A mess of monsters and even some pirates have landed at me door, wanting some of that chocolate loot. I've been happy to oblige the young scallywags, as we don't want any hijinx hereabouts.
Take care,

As the crew boards the good ship PBW, moans and groans are heard from below deck. yes, the Captain's quarters.
The captain has been struck down with the brainwrecks and her sidekick Dr Luuurrrvvv who is Dr Luuurrrvvvnot at the momentare in agony. Rumour has it that Dr Luurrvvnot was trying to lift bags of cement but the Chronologer, being a good reporter and using some of the grogmeisters ales , managed to get the real insight into the busted back. The spy's tell me that a repair bill for the chandellier and a replacement supermans cape gave the real reasons away.
the good ship PBW is now sailing away in search of a back and head mender.
Will the good ship PBW be able to find a cure for the parrot and sidekick? will the grogmeister have enough ale left as plan B is looking real good at the moment?
Stay tuned

I say tie the Dr. Luurrvv to "the rack". Stretch em tight, tight enough a penny bounced on his belly bounces high! As for me, I'll be in the crow's nest blowin smoke, smilin sweetly to the gentle sway and lerch of "forward ho!" on the ocean of all that's right.

AHOY, crew, I sailed me dear Dr Love down to Sweet Charlotte Towne in the Carolinas and found me a good ships surgeon by the name o' Dr. Murrey who done a right smart job o' fixin' 'im up good as new! He'll need a few days in the cabin and off the chandelier, but he's enjoying the happy pills and getting waited on by yers truly, who's fixin' him chicken soup and hot chocolate by the bucketfuls!
Hallyween was a hoot fer yer dear Captain and her grandscallywags who was Batman and Thomas the Tank, but they was a' yelling "AAAAARRRRRRRRR" by the end o' the night! I got a few pix yet to be delivered to me through cyberspace by their busy Ma. They shall be posted later fer all ter see!
Hope yer all enjoyed yer Hallyween and plundered tons o' candy and grog and thanks fer yer good thoughts of me dear Dr Love.

Hey Brenda,
Just spoke with the Capt'n 30 mins ago. Said the Dr is now up and about, slowly but surely and was sitting at dining room table. Took a small walk and has a little more energy... ok, she used the word "fiesty" but.... :) Says he's now on a terrific recovery road. As for the Capt'n... .she sounded great!

Capt Deb,
I used to be able to catch those, but now they are down right funny sometimes. I'm glad you enjoyed the laugh!
I went to the neighborhood animal shelter this morning and picked out a blind in one, very skinny Senior citizen Boston Terrior to keep me and my Sophie LaRoo company. I named her Miss Martha Jane. It suits her and me too. She can't see outa one eye and I can't hear outa one ear. I'm making her a pirate's eye patch so she will be in style. The shelter couldn't believe I chose her! I said I couldn't believe someone else hadn't because she certainly is special!
Glad to hear that Dr Luv doesn't heel but he is healin!!! (Gotta get out the Depends)
Hugs,
Brendalu

brendalu- That is so cool. You are a really special person. I know that I drove 350 miles(montana to idaho) to adopt a doggie that we found on the internet. My son said that the doggie was so homely no one would adopt him so we better go pick him up. He's pug, chiuhua/mutt mix. He has a crooked face which matches my crooked smile. Congrats on the "new" addition. They are unconditional love in a warm, furry package.
Thanks for making my day!

All this "barking" from you guys about your "friends" makes me miss mine all the more. I really should say "my sons dog" Blu. But it won't be long and we'll have Blu, a bullmastiff, back the day after Thanksgiving to doggie sit while he moves back to NY city as a traveling RN. Blu and I met and bonded immediately when I was recuperating from surgery at my sons home. He was by my side ALL THE TIME (he thought he was a lap dog). He was very patient with me on our walks with my occasionally bumping into him. Always knew when to stop and lay down in someone's lawn for a rest, knowing before I did when I needed to stop and rest. Then a few days later, I'll be picking up at the airport my daughters bullmastiff, Zara arriving from Germany as she will be moving her hubby and daughter back to the US! Zara will be with us until they find a home to move their new daughter into. So, when it rains it pours I guess! Having two large dogs will be a challenge for me and my hubby, but we can't wait to see them knowing they will be showing us unconditional love 24/7! I told my hubby when both kids come to claim their dogs that's when we get our own bullmastiff puppy! Can't wait.
Oh, by the way, thank you to everyone for just being "here" as I look forward to checking in and hearing what all of you are up to. Deb, very happy to hear your dear one is on the mend. Your halloween costume was awsome! You must certainly be the best friend in your grandchilds life! Planting good memories with them for their future recall when times seem tough--wonderful!
-
Karen,
I've never met a dog I didn't love and I'd have a dozen if I had the room and my husband would agree to it! I had a friend who raised and showed bullmastiffs and they were quite something special! Have fun with "all" of your family when they get here!
Phyl...................you are the one who "rawks", you just a very SPECIAL person. I sure hope you are going to be at the 2009 thingy in Chicago 'cause I'm saving up gentle huggles.

Anyone wanting to post pic oughtta try photobucket. It makes it really easy. Frapper has been actin up lately.
We are on the lookout for a scallywagtail to join our lil family, too. In the form of a Laborador Retriever pup. I know I sHould probably do the shelter dog thing, but I really need a gentle tempered doggie and I know the breed well as I've raised 3 of them and I'm nuts about 'em. Just NUTS!!!!

Cyber venture here we come - soon. The chronologer is currently dealing with the dreaded headache that must have been part of some voodoo but hopefully will get time to try and think up something new very soon.
mmm, did pass a shop selling all that weird stuff in the markets in Seeeeeattle. maybe we should send out a parrot patrol ta check it out?
Has the good ship PBW incurred a voodoo curse? Has the cruise director spiked the imitrex for the Captain? Will Dr Luuurrrve be able to dive off the chandelleirs again?

Hey Deb,
I am an avid watcher of Cesar's and implement his techniques--they do work! Today is the day-DAH, DAH, DAHhhhh, Zara the bullmastiff arrives in a "lion cage" as Lufthansa says they are fighting dogs--NOT! They are working/guard dogs--DUH! Oh well, hope she arrives calm and rested as being in a wood box with only a few holes and one square window to peek out of with metal fencing surrounding the inside might be terribly uncomfortable. So, Blu will meet his match today on the sidewalks (neutral territory) of my home town. There will probably be alot of scratch marks on the sidewalk from their first meeting. Will let you know how their first "pajama party" goes tonight. Hey, maybe we can bring along on the ship?
-
Of course! All puppy dogs are welcome aboard the PBW!!! Do you you know who elso is welcome? We gotta bring along Mike Holmes from Discovery Home "Holmes on Homes!" He's a cutie-patootie blonde-viking Canadian 40-something bib-overall-wearing construction dude who can fix anything! I'm hooked on his TV show. It's kind of like Extreme Home Makeover, only it's about people who have been ripped off by shoddy contractors who have taken their money and not finished the job or have botched it up. He's got a tattoo of a bulldog with his motto "Make It Right" on his bulging right bicep. MMMMmmmmmmm...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!Dr Love like to watch it for the constuction techniques and information and I like to watch it fer the beefcake! I...am....so...baaaaaaad!!!!!!!
Bye fer now and welcome aboard all bullmastiffs!!

Hi Capt Deb,
We know friends who's home was featured on Mike Holmes last season. They have three children of their own and sponsor two Koren sisters, who attend high school here in Canada. Yep, Mike Holmes is a cutie-patootie all right. We've been watching him for years. It's so nice to see he's making it big State side. I understand he was on Ellen last year.
He has several great lines....to make it right, you have to bring in the experts.....unbelievable......let's tear it down.....and my favourite is I love my job.
Anne Marie

The show is on twice a day and we never miss it. We even quit watching Katie Couric on the evening news cuz it comes on at 6:00. We just watched the two part Ellen re-run last week. It was great! We designed and helped build the house we are in right now and there are alot of things we'll do different for our next house (if there is a next house and not a big pink pirate ship..aaarrrrrrr!) Like hire a real architect. Like when you're in the shower you have to make sure no one in the house flushes a toilet or you'll get scalded! Stupid plumber daisy chained all the water lines.
Calling all Canadian Wenches! Kidnap Mike Holmes!! The PBW needs a refit!!

I bet he'd get a kick out of a bunch Of middle-aged women who think they're pirates, some of 'em grannies, plotting to shanghai him aboard a pirate ship and throw him in a hunk hold where he'll be dipped in chocolate and put to work repairing leaky pipes on a ship called the Princess Batty Wench whilst cruising the Caribbean and Southe Pacific! A total kick! I can just see the letter :
"Dear Mike Holmes,
I know you usually fix houses, but we have this here 150 foot sailing vessel that's in dire need of a refittin'! Our last refitter stole our treasure chest full of Spanish doubloons and Belgian Chocolate. Our pipes still leak and our hunks are getting all wet down in the hold!! Plus the Chandelier in the Captain's quarters has become unattached from the bulkhead (he loves that word, bulkhead.) The electrical is all scrambled up, too, and looks like a ratsnest of wires and when you turn on the Margarita Machine all the lights go out in the Spa. When the Band cranks up the reggae up on the dance floor up on deck, the whole boat shimmies and shakes, which is disturbing for the guys playing pool in the billiard room. I thing the dance floor need reinforcin'. Can you help us?
Thanks,

Dogs! I'll take a minute to tell you about Blu and Zara. Their pajama party went very well until 3 a.m. when both hubby and I woke up (for some dang reason unkown to us both). My hubby got up and headed towards the door, the dogs did the same. The three of them stood at the doorway and hubby went first out into other room where it was congested with "stuff" making the walking path small, but the dogs proceeded behind, one at a time. It was dark in the room, and one of them got "testy" and suddenly before you knew it, table, chairs and planters were being moved to new locations. Lots of deep growling, snarling, claws scratching the floor, husband growling too. I bolted outta bed to get the "broom" (don't want to lose an arm breakin up the scuffle), but before I got to the doorway it was over. WHEW! Since then they have become the best of friends, I am walking them on one lead, and they don't seem to mind the occasional bump from me losing my place on the sidewalk. It's true it's easier to walk two than one! So, our furry friends (this includes the hubby as some of you know he has the "Santa" beard going) have found their place in my "pack". I do get many double looks from the cars going by with big grins at the sight of the "little" old lady walking these very big and powerful dogs!

Aw, and I was hoping to make my first milliion off of that idea. Guess someone beat me to it.
I'm sure your version will have a whole lot more character than that one!

This motley crew of the PBW needs ta get inta some lootin and plunderin. It's gettin toooooo soft with piratekitties and the like.
Saddle up ye all (for da mid westerners of the gang) da Good Ship PBW is to set sail again. Fill the armery, load the rum, get those sword (feather duster) belts done up (best now before Xmas otherwise, we'll need to loosen the belt a bit after). get the plank ready for all the other pirate captures we gunnu do and last but not least, get that Barbie (thats BBQ for all norther hemisphere folk) on board - we gonna find that headache monster and fry its butt off.
Stay tuned

Ah, Laz we haven't been on a good plundering cruise in a long while. Where da ya thinks the best lootin will be???????? Too cold near the North Pole.
Wench Brendalu standin ready to sail

I think we need to make a stop to load up on grog. I say to the caribbean for some rum as there's plenty of pillaging opportunities there. LOTS AND LOTS of sparklies!!!! I like sparklies!!!!! ;D
-
Sparklies are very good...........................the blue water sounds pretty invitin too. ::)
-
The PBW silently slips into the bay in Barbados, under the cover of darkness. The waves gently lapping at the sides of the ship, and the smell of fresh seafood and caribean spices is in the air. The grogmeister opens the hold, and peers towards shore. Row boats begin appearing out of the mist, lots of them, each with a brown cask. Each oarsman, or oarswoman, is paid a gllittering gold coin, and another cask is lower into the hold by the crew. Piles of fresh fuits are gently but quickly loaded onto the PBW, as shouts are heard from shore. As the PBW heads back out the sea, and steadily picks up speed as the sails are unfurled, canon shots are heard. Toothy grins reflect the moonlight, as the spray of open ocean waves begin to break over the port side of the bow. They break out cups, schooners, glasses, and a blender as the PBW heads for a fogbank. Another successful rum run for the crew of the PBW. They should now have enough grog to get through the holidays.
Here's a picture of the hold, taken the next day.

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anchors Aweigh (that's aweigh, not away, ye landlubbers) me hearties, we're off ter the Caribbean. I believe it's Mount Gay that's made in Barbados, not Cruzan, grogmeister-- git yer rums straight! Jeez!
Me homeport fer 25 years was the Isle of St Croix, birthplace of the dreaded Cruzan! Me Pappy was the local doggy doc there. I even dated the nephew of the owner of the dreaded Cruzan factory! Been there many times and partook of the dreaded product more times than I care to tell! Hence me status as the designated driver of the PBW!!!!!!!
Calderwoods is made in Cane Garden Bay on Tortola and is 151 proof, and generally makes you lose your dinghy and forget your name. Here's a pic of the place:
(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/canegarden2.jpg)
Driving you rummies around the Caribbean so's ye can plunder rum factories sound's like fun. I could use some salt air in me lungs fer a change. Good thing that Canadian handyman hunk Mike Holmes reinforced the rum hold! I learned some great new cuss words from him whilst he was a'workin' down below here on the PBW. Them Canadians sure loves ter cuss! My kinda people!
So off we go!

Beautiful picture.........makes want to be there instead of here.

That was me Captain...you're right, Mount Gay! I still have a mini bottle of Cruzan from that trip! We stopped in St. Croix too. Must have been drinking a little too much on that trip!!!! We also went to the Bacardi Factory in Puerto Rico. Maybe that's why the next two times i just went to the USVI and didn't move around so much!!!!!
I'd like to get me some of them Columbian Emeralds too, let's scoot off in that direction!!!! I need some green sparklies for my trip to Ireland!!!!
-
Gennysmom - was that the worldwide rum factory tour you went on? I think I'd like to go on that one!
Quite a bunch of world travelers we have here... Ireland, St. Croix, Barbados.... anyone need me to carry their suitcases?
-
I'll take Spiced Cruzan anyday... MUCH better than Capt'n Morgan Spiced. Have bottle of it at home... hand carried through too many ports of call to get it home.
*raises hand*
world traveler here.....anyone want to watch boring home movies/see piccies? I've got 'em.
-
One of me favorites was Pussers! Usta opens de bottle and fling de cap over de side! After a race, pass 'er around and down 'er straight from de bottle, mon! Dose was de days! Sorry, sorry, I'm speaking West Indian again! Ahem!
All hands on deck!!!!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate2.gif)
-
And don't forget about my sparklies!!!!!!!!!! :o
Captain....we used to do the same with a bottle of Jack. I can remember back in my youth, some young schmuck thought he could drink me under the table...so he made a challenge. He chose Jack and I chose the method....swigs back and fourth till it was gone with no chaser. If I did that now, I'd be comatose!!! I think we finally called it a draw as we were both tired and ready to pass out!
That would of been about the time my AN was sprouting, hey! Maybe it was the Jack! ;D
-
My AN was caused by an evil West Indian Jumbie that crawled in my head when I was passed out cold in a dinghy after Jouvert (an all night party/parade) during St John Carnival, I'm convinced. Even though Dr Friedman and Dr Hits evicted him 5 years ago he's been haunting me in the form of these infernal headaches ever since. Hmmmm..............

Capt,
Since Dr Love is back in action, here's a project for him. Thing 1 and Thing 2 need their own ship to explore the seas of their imagination.

I think the puppy could use one too! And while he's at it, have him build me one too. I'd love to sit in it in my backyard and pretend I'm near water.
Lori

The captain, whilst struggling to get back on deck (with Dr Luurrrvvvee back in action) has decided that the thingies, cats, dogs and all non parrots be offloaded onto the girly whirly dinghy and let it sail off into the wild blue yonder. ]'
meanwhile, "All crew on deck, quick time" squarks the Captain. You buncha feather toten scoundrels, wees be off now to seek out some drinkin', plunderin and lootin. Hoist the mainsail, raise the anchor and push - come on ye bagsa bones. Push this fine 'ere bucket.
tjhe crew, are bending their backs and finally get the good ship PBW off the sand bank.
Stay tuned when we find out if Dr Luurrvve can keep up with the Captain, what will happen to noah's dinghy?

Lookie here who I spotted a' dancin' in the conga line on the PBW dance floor!

Seems he's got some time to kill before the big night so he's come to the biggest party in town to knock back a few Pina Coladas and shake a leg! Righto Santa! Hang out with a few half-deaf drunken sailors in the wind!
Merry Christmas All!

And as 2007 draws to a close and 2008 soon rises, the Good Ship PBW decides to head west to the land of the long white cloud (New Zealand) and drops anchor on the east cost near the town of Napier (which sees the first sunrise).
The crew, having had a torrid year of fighting off the sea monster not once but twice, enduring debilitating headaches and losing valued crew members (Windsong and Chet will be remembered forever), will sail on in hope for those greener pastures for all concerned.
This chronologer acknowledges the crew as a wonderful bunch of scoundrels who not only support each other but during difficult times, can still have a laugh and be silly. So from the southern hemisphere, specifically - latitude 41oSouth and longitude 174oEast (howsat for some nautical exposure) where we wait for the sun to shine (not going where da sun does not shine!!!).
Cheers and 'aveahappynewyear to ya all ya motley crew of the PBW.
Laz

I second the motion!
Happy New Year's to all and we will leave 2007 remembering Chet and Windsong and how special to us they both were.
Here's to a safe, headache free ::)2008

Good morning to all of you. A friend of mine got me hooked on a computer game that helps fill the hours. Speaking of memory - I baked a frozen pizza last evening and forgot to remove the cardboard disc, and within the last week I lost my heart meds, lost my daughter's dog when I let her out to potty and forgot that I let her back inside, and the best of the week was when I forgot to cook the potatoes for Christmas Dinner. I am keeping a list at all times now and have suggested to hubby that we install surveilance camera to watch me while he is gone so we can have a better idea where I put all of the "lost" items. It appears that I struggler the most with immediate shrot-term memory. Any advice would be appreciated.
Here's to a healthier 2008 for all.
Yet to be diagnosed and will see the neurotologist with films in hand on January 15.
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First Post of 2008 on the Good Morning Thread goes to yer dear Captain!!!!!!!! And a welcome aboard to the forgetful CarrollMoore!! Us here can't even remember which ocean we been sailin' on nor which continent we been circumnavigatin'!
Too much brain surgery!
Too much radiation!
Too much medication!!
Too much rum!
AAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
Yer dear,

Captain, had to tell ya...Brian got me one of those silly mechanical Gennybirds for Christmas! Genny's not sure what to make of it! I'll have to send ya a film of the interactions! First she wanted to kiss it, then she wanted to bite it!

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR
Too many bird brains about me thinks!

Without the birdbrains what would we do, Laz? We have to have a laugh or two or three and I've been waitin to see what other adventures you were gonna think up for us on this ship. I think it's tilting too far to one side.......which I don't know...........
Brenda
-
Birdbrain? Ah, that 'splains the chirping in my ear! :D
-
Just want to say hello again to the Good Morning crew. Finally got our new computer, and it's on broadband and everything! It's an iMac and it's pretty cool. First thing I did was to download Google earth. Now I can see, for real, the places that we sail to! I've even looked over Boone, NC!! Didn't see a big pirate ship in anyone's back yard however, so Cap't Deb remains safe from my prying eyes for now!
Since I've been spending so much time on my new toy, er computer, I am revisiting the pain in the neck that I get whilst I do my thing. How in the world do I find a comfortable way to sit and do this? You'd think by now I'd have figured it out. But no. Any ideas? Also, since I've been concentrating so much on this new toy, er computer...I do notice that I'm not noticing my AN as much. But then, I've been trying to regain more control over the Diabetes, which seems to be have decided to act up...so I've pushed the AN to the back of my mind...ah, so to speak.
Anyway, a belated Happy New Year to everyone. Hope all is well. And yes, we had a tornado here in Vancouver Washington today. Pretty exciting stuff, but nothing like the midwest gets. Not even close. But, it was an F1, and caused some damage. Very rare around these parts. Fortunately, for us, we just caught the southern edge of the storm and didn't get the full force of it at all. But, it wasn't that far away!
Take care,
Sue in Vancouver
-
Welcome back, Sue! Sounds like you're havin fun with your new toy. My hubby has been trying to talk me into a iMac and I've been draggin my feet. Is it hard to learn?
Glad that you are safe and sound from the storms. The weather has been very mixed up this year........even in Texas!
Happy New Year to you!

Hi Brenda,
I have found this Mac computer to be a lot of fun and not that hard to learn, I don't think. It's pretty easy to get around. They have a good support team...I can go look up the Mac guy at the store I got it from, or for $10 a pop, attend classes at another store, or call Apple care, because we paid extra to get that. So somebody is always there to help you, if you get stuck. They only thing is that there are great features on here that I don't know if I'll ever use much. Like Garage Band. It's great...but it's not something I'll be doing. And, if you want the Microsoft programs that you are used to like Word, and the office stuff...you have to pay extra to get those programs. The Mac comes with a word processing program but it's very basic. Did find out about a site called Neo Office and I downloaded that. The Mac guy recommended it. So, I trying to decide it that will be all I need or if Mac's iWork 08 is more what I need. There again, I don't need all of that, but some of the features it has are really nice. But, boy, it's a gorgeous machine!
Sue in Vancouver
-
Thanks, Sue!
I think I needed to hear it from a female! They are beautiful, I agree.
Brenda
-
Sue in Vancouver how far away from the tornado were you. You were the first person I thought of and could not remember your screen name so I am glad to know you are ok. How unusual for our area tornados and earthquakes that is a little to much for me. Let me know if there is anything I can do if you were close to the area. 16
-
Hey everyone on the PBW when you get up north please stop by and pick me up I don't know anything about sailing but would be willing to swab the deck until I learned the rest from all of you. There is a pirate days celebration in Westport the last weekend in June and they bring the ship in from Pirates of the Carribean for tours. I think they could use all of you to join in as it is a little dull. There is dancing in the streets with the pirates but some of them could use advice on their wardrobe from Captain Deb. You could stay in port until the 4th of July and join us on the beach for a great BBQ followed by fireworks and the best bon fire you have ever seen. Hope to see you there! Deck hand in waiting....16

Hi,
About the tornado (and thanks for asking, by the way)....that's as close as I've ever come to one, that's for sure. The storm tracked to the north of my house, but not that far away, maybe a few miles, although most of the damage was at the beginning of the storm, near Vancouver Lake. Our neighborhood just caught the southern edge of the storm cell. It was really black on the north side, which is where a wooded lot is and we don't get a clear view of the sky that direction. The thunder and lightening began and then the rain and some hail blew sideways. I went out the front door and a few blocks away is an elementary school and I could hear the kids playing. I thought...somebody better get those kids off of the playground. Then I looked up and saw how fast the clouds were racing, the dark skys to the north and then that blast of wind came and I wondered if there might be a funnel cloud with this. Then I came in and turned on the TV and they were just beginning to get reports that there was a tornado that touched down. By then, the blast of the storm that I got was over. It was very quick. I called my auntie in Portland, and my stepmom in Corvallis, OR. I said, "Auntie Em, Auntie Em!" Of course she didn't know what the heck I was talking about! I told her to tune in her TV, because our TV stations then talked about this storm and the damage ALL DAY LONG. But, that's pretty exciting stuff around here. The last freak tornado to touch down in this area was in April of 1972 and that one, unfortuately, killed people. It was classified as an F3. This one was an F1. And nobody was hurt. Very unusual for this part of the world to get that big of a tornado. The best part of the story is that many people came to help and volunteer and saw up the downed trees and clean up the mess. Reports of "vultures" coming in to "help" folks for thousands of dollars irritated people, and they just swarmed in to do it all for free. A Crew Club which has it's boats and supplies right on Vancouver Lake got obliterated, and they had Crew Clubs from all over coming to help them and donate boats for the club. It was really a nice thing to see. One of those "warms the cockles of your heart", kind of story. And warm cockles are a good thing! ;D

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Good ta see our Poe Lorry-Ate dint blow away! I saw it on the Weather Channel on the Ships TV that Vancouver WA had had a freakin tornado and I sez to meself "I know Vancouver Sue's gonna be OK, she knows to get to her root cellar!"
So we gots a new Princess Batty Wench crew wench! OMG16 wants ta be the official deck swabber! That's a great job if ya wants ta keep in good shape. This here crew has a tendency to tip a bit and spill they Pina Coladas and Margaritas and Fresquitas on the dance floor. Especially when they wears their high heels, which I don't really like on me beautiful teak decks! But hey! I sez, Let 'em have a little fun, I sez.
So welcome aboard, OMG16! Hope ye brought yer bikini! Grab yer mop! We're headed to the land of sun and fun!
I'll even give ye a turn at the helm!

Ooooo, pretty picture. Since we have the new computer, I've been playing with Google Earth. Now, then, my dears, did you know you all can upload your own beautiful scenic photos to Google Earth? Capt Deb, I bet you have all those lovely photos of the Caribbean that you could just put right on there. It's fun.
Sue in Vancouver aka Tornado Alley
-
Holly cow Sue that had to have been nerve racking to say the least. I'm sure glad you are OK!!!
Captain Deb there will be no bikini or I will be the only one on the deck with my Pina Colada,my Trans derm scope and my compazine. Maybe I'll wear a bathing suit after a month of my swabbing duties . I'm not ready for the helm yet it scares me to have all of your lives in my hands. So give me some time and lessons and I will gladly take the helm. 16
-
Oh heck, this crew is so good at trimmin the sails we need scarce touch the helm atall! She practically sails herself, does this here vessel! It is sooo good to have our poet Lorry-ate back aboard! We have missed you!!! (16 you can cover your bikini up with your velcro bustier/lifevest that sticks you to the rail so's you don't fall overboard whilst we're underway. Laz will lend you his!)
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate2.gif)
-
No probs, just don't ask fer me feather duster - thats tooooo personal!
Now where was this 'ere good ship PBW? oh well, (to the tune of Rod Stewart) We are sailin', we are sailin' - aaaaarrr thats a little "girly" for this crew of vagabonds. More like mmm we needs a ship anthem and mission statement.
This 'ere chronologer needs our Poet lorry-ate to draft up our mission statement and it gots to include drinkin' plunderin' and feather dusters.
Now for our anthem we needs some suggestions.
laz
-
A Mission Statement?...hmmmm.
Our mission, should you choose to accept it: is to explore new beaches, seek new umbrelly drinks (or straight up, if you prefer) and opportunities for plundering in every port, and to boldly go where no PBW crew person has gone before while proudly holding your feather duster's high because Laz said so. And Laz can't wear his high heels anymore, either. ;D
Well, that's the best I can do at the moment, with apologies to Gene Roddenberry and whoever wrote Mission Impossible. Anyone else?
Has anyone watched "Stardust"? Just watched that movie and I thought it delightfully charming. Loved Robert De Niro as the madcap captain of his own pirate ship. Do you suppose we can make the PBW fly? Huh? Can we, can we?
Ship's anthem suggestions:
Red Sails in the Sunset
Something by Jimmy Buffett such as Party at the End of the World (Hey, I got iTunes, now!) :)
Sue in Vancouver
-
" BOLDLY GOING " WIV YA.....COUNT ME IN
lets see now, what was my job???hmmmmm oh yea, headache fairy duster awayer, 'er somthin like that, what was it Deb?
( and I've been terrible at it fer some of these here brainwreck suffererrs)
PATTI YOOTEE
-
Thanks Laz I will definately where the vest while on deck. Just do not forget to unstick me! Everyone beware I am taking the helm for the first time. I second Sue's mission statement. 16
-
Well I was thinking the Jimmy Buffett song "Take it Back" would be a good anthem... very piratey - even if it wasn't one that you know by heart... But for some reason, "Fruitcakes" seems to be appropriate for this crew...
-
What about 'Stand By Me'. .... seems that we spend a lot of time holding each other up . :D
Margaret
-
Here I go singing again and my son has asked me to please stop. He says that it is hurting his ears. ??? Marg I like the way you think. :D 16
-
Fruitcakes!
Oh Yeah!
One of my favorite Buffett Songs and very appropriate for this here crew!
Here are the lyrics fer those o' you what don't know 'em. Sing along if ye like!
You know I was talking to my friend Desdemona the other day,
She runs the space station and bait shop down near Boomtown.
She told me that human beings were flawed individuals, that the cosmic
bakers took us out of the oven a little too early, and I believe it.
Take for example when you go to the movies these days.
They try to sell you this jumbo drink 8 extra ounces of watered down
Cherry Coke for an extra 25 cents, I don't want it, I don't want that much
organization in my life.
I don't want other people thinking for me.
I want my Junior Mints! Where did Junior Mints go in the movi?
I don't want a 12lb. Nestles Crunch for 25 dollars.
I want Junior Mints!
We need more fruitcakes in this world.
Less bakers!
We need people that care!
I'm mad as hell and I don't want to take it anymore!!
Chorus:
Fruitcakes in the kitchen
Fruitcakes on the street
Struttin' naked through the crosswalk
In the middle of the week
Halfbaked cookies in the oven
Half baked people on the bus
There's a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us.
Paradise--Lost and Found
Paradise--Take a look around
I was out in California
Where I hear they have it all
They got riots, fires and mud slides
They got sushi in the mall
Water bars, Brontosaurs
Chinese mondern lust
Shake and bake life with the quake
The secret's in the crust.
Chorus
Speaking of fruitcakes--How 'bout the government,
your tax dollars at work.
We lost our Martian rocket ship
The high paid spokeman said
Looks like that silly rocket ship
Has lost its cone-shaped head
We spend ninety jillion dollars
Trying to get a look at Mars
I hear universal laughter
Ringin out among the stars
Fruitcakes in the galaxy
Fruitcakes on the earth
Struttin' naked towards eternity
We've been that way since birth
Half baked cookies in the oven
Half baked people on the bus
There's a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us.
Religion, religion. OH there's a thin line between Saturday night and
Sunday morning.
Here we go now.
All right altar boys.
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa
Where's the church, who took the steeple
Religion's in the hands of some crazy ass people
Television preachers with bad hair and dimples
The God's honest truth is it's not that simple
It's the Buddhist in you, It's the Pagan in me
It's the Muslim in him, she's Catholic ain't she?
It's the born again look, it's the WASP and the Jew
Tell me what's goin on I ain't got a clue.
Here come the big ones--Realationships--We all got 'em, we all want 'em.
What do we do with 'em?
Here we go I'll tell ya
She said you've got to do your fair share
Now cough up half the rent
I treat my body like a temple
You treat yours like a tent.
But the right word at the right time
May get me a little hug
That's the difference between lighting
And a harmless lightning bug.
Chorus
The future--Captain's log--Star date 2000 and sometin'
We're seven years from the millenium
That's a science fiction fact
Stanley Kubrick and his buddy Hal
Now don't look that abstract
So I'll put on my Bob Marley tape
And practice what I preache
Get Jah lost in the reggae mon
As I walk along the beach
Stay in touch with my insanity
Really is the only way
It's a jungle out there kiddies
Have a very fruitful day
Chorus
That's right. You too. Those crumbs are spread all around this
universe. I've seen fruitcakes. I saw this guy in Santa Monica roller
skate naked thru the crosswalk. Down in New Orleans, in the French market
there are fruitcakes like you cannot believe. New York, forget it,
fruitcake city. Down island we got fruitcakes. Spread them crumbs
around. That's right. We want 'em around. Keep bakin' baby, keep
bakin'!
--Jimmy
But I'm thinking we needs something wiv a lil more sailing in it-- how about "One Particular Harbor?"
I really do like "Party at the End of the World."
Awesome Mission Statement, Sue!
Feather Dusters High!

While we're singing here... I thought I'd put the other anthem I suggested. Very piratey - but not many people have ever heard it...
(Jimmy Buffett, Matt Benton)
Open season on the open seas and
Captain says no prisoners please
Skull and crossbones on a background of black
We ain't stealin' we're just takin' back
We ain't stealin' we're just takin' back
Very simple plan of attack
It's our job and a labor of love
Take it home to the up above
We ain't stealin' we're just takin' back
Very simple statement of fact
Call it pillage or call it plunder
We're takin' it back from them boys down under
Hit us hard, took our treasure
That was the worst thing they could do
It will be our great pleasure
To take it back from that captain kangaroo
Yo ho ho, and a bottle of suds
It's a pirates fight we choose
No we don't want a bucket of blood
Just a cup is all we could use
Just a cup
The sails are up and the bets are down
Let's lighten up this harbor town
By hook or crook or new design
We're streakin' for that finish line
We ain't stealin' we're just takin' back
Very simple plan of attack
It's our job and a labor of love
Take it home to the up above
We ain't stealin' we're just takin' back
Very simple statement of fact
Call it pillage or call it plunder
We're takin' it back from them boys down under
We ask ourselves when we get in a fix
What would popeye do in a tight spot like this
He'd race for his true love and easily win it
In an old spinach can with a mast stuck in it
Lift us up, take us high
Time to let our spirits fly
Lift us up, take us high
Let us sail until we die
Lift us up, take us high
Let us float above the foam
Let our sails fill the sky
We are takin' our sweet treasure home
Take it back
We're takin' it back
Take it back!

Ah... to be on that boat in the picture.....full of half- baked fruitcakes.... sounds like heaven, doesn't it?
Lori

To boldly go where no fruitcake has gone before
It's got a certain ring to it. I reckon that should be our mission statement!
Okay ya scoundrels, swab the decks, raise the anchor, lower the sails (got to learn some rust bucket lingo)
Captain Deb rises from her quarters, hair ruffled, shirt half out of her sleek bloomers, flaps her braces (ouch) and just as she is ready to instruct the crew, with an almighty thump, mozin' ol mary, totin her cap gun, challenges the Captain to get the crew working harder.
"Your cap gun is no match for my feather duster" says the captain. they each stare at each other
Stay tuned when we find discover whether it be the Carribean for Mozin' ol' Mary or Boot Hill for Captain Parrot? Or will there be another twist.
Live long and eat lotsa chocolate!
Laz
-
I 2nd the motion to eat LOTS of chocolate :D
Phyl
-
Ya.....LOTS AND LOTS OF CHOCOLATE.
Laz, Have they come up with calorie & fat free Tim Tams yet???
for our New Years resoloutions to loose weight while still eating lots of chocolate.............
patti ut
-
Chocolate forever !!!! It's even good for us now (at least the dark chocolate is)..... hum wonder what food group it should be in....
marg
-
You mean it isn't a food group of it's own???
-
Mmmmm Chocolate! Ahhh excuse me guys but you forgot to unstick me and I am still on the deck with one small very clean spot. Help me, oh please somebody unstick me sings, the lovely new deck swabber of the PBW. ;)
-
Yootee- you supposed ter swat the Evil Headache Fairy away!
That song "Take It Back" was writ about the America's Cup when Dennis Connor losted it ter the flippin Aussies! Now the freakin Swiss have it and they ain't even gotta ocean! Me I was a' rootin fer the Kiwis, at least they gotta ocean! Jeez Louise! We needs ter get our feather dusters flappin' and wiv some technical help from Laz's Star Trek buddies and FLY this here PBW over the Alps to Switzerland and steal the America's Cup from those Alinghi people, fill it wiv som really good Swiss chocolate while we're at it, and get the he!! outta there!
Boy! That's a good fantasy! Must be the Prozac!

I TOLD you we needed to fly! "Stardust", somebody watch "Stardust".
Sue in Vancouver
-
Now Mr Jimmy, He luuuuuurrrrves flying boats. Usta have him a Grumman Goose! I've flown in one many times as it usta be the only way to get to St Croix from St. John to visit me Pappy. Hurricane Hugo ate them all and they don't make them no more. The co-pilot seat was a bona-fide passenger seat and I loved sitting up there. Made sure I got there an hour early to be the first in line to get it. Waited at the bar and drank rum punches in line!
Anyhow, The PBW simply MUST learn to fly! I guess we need to kidnap Robert DeNiro and a few Lithium Crystals from the Starship Enterprise!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/emoticon___pirate_by_anya1916.gif)
-
We're pirates right??!! ....so raise the Jolly Roger and lets go take the Spruce Goose ... it's big enouth to put the PBW in and then fly us to Switzerland for that chocolate.... I'd say we could go get the Enterprise with Capt. Kirk - but he abandoned ship and became a lawyer (last time I saw him on T.V. ).... oh wait ! Doesn't that mean that he is a pirate too.... (afer all Grandma Wendy told Peter he had become a pirate when he became a lawyer in the movie Hook) so maybe Kirk woulld like to come along after all.
Marg
-
As the PBW's reader I had some catchin up to do.............All caught up and ready to fly. I like the sounds of that..........plenty of chocolate? Feather dusters? Cap Guns? Captain Kirk? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone...................I like it 8)
Wench Brendalu reading ready

AAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! to all o' ye Wenches and Scallywags!!!!
It is sooooooo bloody dreary where I am I thought we needed to sail to a beautiful sunny BEACH!!!!!
(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/trunkBay.jpg)
How bout we all go for a nice snorkle around that little cay and then meet up fer brelly drinks on the poop deck in an hour or so? Sound good? Grab yer fins and over the side wiv ye! Last one in's a rotten egg!
KER-SPLASH!!!!!

Dreary but finally warm here! I'll be waitin for the snorkles! I got my fins on and already had a drink or two so I won't sink!! That beaches looks familiar and beautiful................
Brendalu
-
Dreary here too with lots of snow!!!! I hate it. My 18 yr old, 3rd son is returning from the Dominican tonight. He went for a week to help build shelter in the mountains with the Scarborough Foreign Missions. He was back in a town yesterday and he called me. It was 32c in the shade. LOVELY!!
Capt Deb I'm your first mate, I need a holiday. I was just trying to talk my husband into taking me to Cuba or the Mayan Riviera. What's a girl gotta do to get a holiday, eh?
Anne Marie
-
seems the standoff between Captain Parrot and Mozin ol' Mary fizzled out when OMG16 unstuck her self from the deck and flattenned both of them with her scrubbin brush.
Meanwhile the newly appointed ship's councillor, (prettier than Councillor Troy on The Enterprise and Councillor Troy is pretty) girly whirly a.k.a Phyl, who doubles up as cruise director has decided that the carribean is the place to go coz all the northern hemisphere crew are feeling rather cold having to shovel all that splenda from the deck and unless we get a wriggle on, the entire crew be seein' the ship's councillor.
Its party, party, party time. We all deserve a drink or 39 and the captain, shivering in her knicker bockers tells the helmsman (or should that be person) warp factor 9.9 - heading "out there".
Will the PBW make it to the carribean before the crew sober up (you see they have cleaned out the grogmeister's supplies).
Will the girly whirly need to get a big diary book.
Will the PBW find 00.9% fat free Tim tams? (in ya dreams yootie!)
-
(ppssssttt, yo, Laz! BBQ'd here yesterday! Set the campfire a-flame, put the meat on the grille with veggies and preparing to do warm weather dances around the open pit flames!)
-
Capt.
Is that St. John with Tortola in the background? Wish I could instantly transport myself there right now.
Rob
-
That is St. John! Trunk Bay where all the tourists go. Usually a place to avoid like the plague!!! It's very pretty tho, that shot is taken from a curve in the road where it opens up and that's what you see!
Time for a nice drink and some yummy chow from the Crow's Next in Cruz Bay!!! Now that would beat the winter blues! Conch fritters and a nice rum punch!
-
In the interests of keeping the PBW afloat and full of new adventures and wanting to see 100,000 views, I have decided to retire from the role of chronologer effective immediately. However, we must find the right person or bird (we have a few parrots around) to take over the mantle. My story lines are now too tired (not that imaginative anymore).
Sooooo, I have decided to elect the Captain, the cursed cruise director and myself as the panel to choose the next chronologer.
The competion is open to everyone and everything except for sea monsters. You must be a member of the PBW crew to be eligible to win. Initiation is usually through walking the plank.
The challenge is to write a paragraph of no more than 10 lines (concentration span is shot and doesn't allow for any more detail) describing the PBW's next adventure.
The basis for judging will be 9 points for the level of bribe and 1 point for content!
The competition closes on Wednesday 13th Feb AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) Thats sorta like Tuesday for Northern hemisphere folk.
Here is your chance for creativity and don't forget to buy the VB (beer).
Happy writing crew.
Laz
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'( :'( :'(
*runs up to Laz and gives big, MASSIVE huggles*
*sniffs back a tear*
*walks up to judging table, takes a seat waiting for the Captn and Laz to take a seat as well*
-
Laz,
Sorry to hear about your retirement. I've enjoyed the adventures and "embroilogios" that the PBW has gotten into. I hearby propose that the Capt give you the title of Chronologer Emeritius, in hopes that we might coax a few lines from you now and then if enough libation is applied.
Regards,
Rob
-
Oh I'm sorry to hear of your retirement. :'( What if there is no one qualified or unwilling to bribe does that mean we will get to keep you forever! I am of course only thinking of myself. You are the best and your high heels will be hard to fill. We will have to have your feather duster bronzed. Take care 16.
-
Laz,
I join Phyl with the sniffles and massive "huggles", I stayed up all night long quite a while back to ready from page one through page, I think it was a little over one hundred. I must say that your imagination kept the night oils burning for me as I laughed and hooted and woke my husband up with my "noise". Your creative juices will be missed. I, like the others hope you will throw us a line or two, when your energy and brain matter allow.......................
Hugs and if the feather duster gets bronzed OMG16 will need a new one, bronzed will cause scratches and maybe a concussion or two.
Wench Brendalu
-
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( OHHH NOOO!!!! Not Laz retireing. You will be greatly missed. It was a great cruise from about page 10 on, we had some really great times back about 100 pages or so. Catchcha on the PM's Laz.
HUGS & KISSES
Patti Yodolayhehoo

OK Crew we need to extend the application/nomination process for at least another week as some of us wenches and scallywags (meanin' meself) have been a might lazy and not keeping up wiv the scuttlebutt.
We could make Ship's Chronologer like the title of "Town Drunk" when I lived on St John. There was no Official Town Drunk. We all took turns.
Laz, I hope you will stay on as Master-at-Arms. Someone's got to keep us in water balloons and surgical tubing and funnels. Gotta keep the keys to the brig, too!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate-2.gif)
-
I think that if I ignore this situation long enough it will go the way I want it to and not the way that it is headed. I can not accept this change yet. Sorry Laz as I am only thinking of myself. I have officially made this year all about me as I told my family in late December. This unfortunatley affects everyone around me including my fellow PBW shipmates. :'( Miserable deck swabbie 16

Happy Valentines day to the scurvy lot of ya'

To our Laz
In the midst of our cruise,
Our chronologer doth leave,
I wipe my flowing tears,
With my big puffy sleeve. :'(
Laz, you're the best mate,
A crew ever knew,
Bold! Cunning! Clever!
Men like you are few. ;)
We've weathered storms,
High seas and gales,
You've written the best
of lively Pirate Tales. ;D
Please take a bow,
Our dear Aussie friend,
From Scallywags and Wenches,
Our love we doth send. :-*
He may not be writing,
the on-going story,
But the PBW still sails,
With all of her glory. :)
So retirement it is
We'll just have to cope,
Let's have some grog,
There's no time to mope. :)
Laz is in charge,
of shrimp on the barbie,
And the parrot squawks,
IT'S TIME TO PARTY! ;D ;D
-
Sue I love it!!! How talented you are. We can always sail on over to visit Laz......right? :) 16
-
Thank you. Well, I am a bit confused as to if Laz is going to be off the ship altogether, or if he is along for the ride!
Sue in Vancouver
-
Maybe he can clear this up for us. I just had a brillant idea. I think you should be nominated. Would you accept the nomination that I am offering? ;) 16
-
*blush* ahhh, that's nice of ya.
I was thinking Steve. Did you read that wonderful take-off of the Night Before Christmas? Or rotating, like Capt Deb suggested. One person every month, or something like that.
And I swear, if I win some gigantic lottery, I'm going to throw the best Pirate Party this, or any crew, has ever seen and everyone will be flown to some Caribbean port o call, and we'll just boogie the night away. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you...but you never know.
Sue
-
Sue
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
Ok, I say we nominate YOU!!!!!! A promotion from Poet-Lorryette!!!!!!!! Whatta think all?
Signed,
The cursed cruise director!
-
AAAARRR this scally is deeply moved and our lorryate is in fine form.
I'll still lurk and add my "two bobs" worth just retiring from making up the stories.
Laz

Dearest Laz - your wonderful and exciting tales of the sea lifted my spirits more than you will ever know. Thank you for taking us on the adventure of our lives ;)

What she said! :-*
Hey, we haven't done a summer Alaskan cruise yet, have we? Hey Capt'n!!!! Whatta think? You think the PBW can withstand sailing through icebergs?
Ok, we need to find LADavid his role on the PBW... was thinking Director of Stage Show enterntainment since he's kinda got that entertainment/LA/rub elbows with celebs backround, ya know? He'd have to work with me (poor chap!) and will have CB give him lessons on how to tolerate me... whatta think folks? :D
Signed,
Cursed, cruise director.... heading up to the Sun Deck to get bingo game started!
-
Perhaps LADavid could finally fullfill our dream of bringing the lovely Mr. Matthew McConghey onboard the PBW ;)
Cheryl
-
Cheryl
I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill your dreams. I don't know Matthew. My only "star" friend is Anthony Hopkins and I don't think he is the dream material you are seeking. I'll keep looking for you though.
David
-
I'm a big fan of Anthony Hopkins, so please bring him aboard too ;D
Cheryl
-
Yes, I enjoy "fava beans with a nice chianti"
Anyone know what movie that line is from starring 'Sir Anthony Hopkins'
-
'SILENCE OF THE LAMBS'
I really do love fava beans. I remember as a teenager being hospitalized, & my mother asked, "what would you like me to cook for you
when you come home?"
My reply: " fava beans & hamburgers!" & yes, mom did make them both for me!
ps: Anne Marie: My older brother's name is Louis!!
-
You're good Nancy!!
I loved the books and movies. I love fava beans too. Yeah Luigi is a good name ;D
-
I think that's a perfect job for the new boy! Hey, who we really need on this cruise is Mark Ruffalo since he IS one of us!!!! Can you work on that one? ;)
I second or third or whatever the nomination of Sue to fill the Great and Powerful Laz's shoes. All bow to the land of OZ!
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Hip-hip-hurrah! Laz, your pen is always welcome here! ;)
-
Gennysmom-
By new boy, I'm guessing you are referring to me :D. Off hand I can't remember the last time I was referred to as a boy -- but I'll take it. As far as Mark Ruffalo -- I'm working on it. I worked with Mark briefly on Zodiac several years ago. At the time I was unaware of his AN surgery and recovery. If I have luck tracking him down, maybe he'll stop on-board. My guess is that he's unaware that it's here. BTW, for those of you who are interested, Mark is one of the nicest and most genuine people you will meet in this business. There aren't many of them -- but Mark is one. And so is Anthony Hopkins!
David
-
You're a boy! At least your photo doesn't look girly-girly, so I'm assuming! ;) Mark was great in Zodiac. Had to go see that because of him and I'd read the book (true crime junkie here) when it first came out. Were you in it? Let me know, I'll look! ;D Mark's been an inspiration as he's visible, and his progression is visible and from what he's talked about, we had similar original outcomes that we've had to come back from. You can see his before, just after and long after. A lot of us have similar stories that we talk about, but we don't get to see it....I haven't gotten to know anyone before their treatment, just after.
But enough about that, this is the completely non-serious tale of the PBW, I'm first mate and I have to set an example.....Hey, has anyone noticed Lost is back on???? Deb, have you been hiding out with Sawyer again? Come on, we agreed to share!!!!!!!!! :D Are we off to Alaska to pillage for gold??? I say it's a great idea, a little early tho and I don't want to be cold anymore! And where's the chocolate? I neeeeeeed chocolate!
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about that ye Wenches and Scallywags! I sent Dr Love ashore to scout out some new rum bars fer us ta plunder whilst I snuck off to the Island with me Sawyer fer a lil chang o' pace! My Bad! OO--EEE He's sweeeet, though!!!! Anyone tattles on me HANGS from the yardarm! Then gets keelhauled.
Welcome aboard LADavid! Of course we needs an Entertainment Director! Start reading this thread from about page 15 or so to get a feeling for what we're all about! should only take you about 3 weeks! Brendalu-wnch stayed up all night and did it a year ago. It was alot shorter then. Crazier, too!
And it be SIR Anthony Hopkins pulll-ease! Jeez!
I think we need to get Mark Ruffalo on Oprah during the ANA symposium in Chicago and all get tickets for the show and get her to send us all on a cruise! One o' them cruise ships with real sails!

HELLLOOOOOOOOO!
I have been trying to catch up on all the reading about this cruise...I hope I can jump on board!! I am a hard worker, fun and most importantly, I have been to a Jimmy Buffett concert (even though I don't really remember it all...) and many Magaritaville Cafes (I married a Parrot Head) -- I think we have the only young ones that LOVE his music -- our oldest has his (SELECT) songs on her ipod!!
Let me know if I can join in!!!

Capt Deb
You are right about the Sir part. But Sir Anthony insists on being called Tony. It took me quite a long time before I was able to call him anything but "Sir."
LADavid
-
And speaking of Sir Tony. Hope this link works
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh23/restlessram/tonyhanddave.jpg
Working on Sir Tony's movie Slipstream in the middle of nowhere in the California high desert. I'm thinking that the movie will be out on DVD soon. If you like strange movies -- this is definitely a strange one.
-
It worked for me!! Which one is which?? ;D
K
-
K
Think Hannibal Lechter ;)
-
I know that David, you silly boy, I was just trying to be funny!!!!!!!! Guess it is not funny if you have to explain it, huh??
K :D
-
You're right David - you look too nice to be a tough guy! :D
I'll bet you could pull off the pirate thing though!
Lori
-
LAdavid - You've got a perfectly good scipt right here, I've always thought this "Good Morning" thread would make for a wonderful movie. Definitely not a PG rating though ;)
Welcome aboard the PBW
Cheryl aka Matti-wench/chef and guardian of the chocolates (I think that was my job ???)
-
K
I knew you were kidding. And Lori, you're right -- I don't play bad guys -- mostly ministers and doctors. I can't tell you how many shows I've been on where I'm standing at graveside reciting the 23rd Psalm.
But maybe there is hope for that Pirate thing.
-
Sorry Capt Deb,
I've been hiding Sawyer up here in Ontario. What a scene with Freckles last night ;D I don't think I would EVER leave Sawyer's bed!!! I knew Kate had Aaron, but I thought she left the island with Claire's identity. To be continued next week.....
-
Thought I'd better get back here to see what's going on. Wow! Movie people! An Academy Award Winning Script! :D We may make it on Oprah yet!
About my nomination. I'm so flattered. But, I'm not sure if I would have the time right now for such a worthy position. Our son left his wife and moved into an apartment. He had to sell back his dog, Jaz, to the breeder. If you want to see how big and beautiful Jaz is, go to this site and look for The Girls and then you'll find Jaz.
http://www.vomholtzberg.com/
We (mostly me) are dogsitting for four 12 hour days, Deigo, his Belgian Malinois.
http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/belgianmalinois.htm - in case you want to see what they look like.
This is a high drive 8 month old puppy and I spend those four days walking the dog, and loving on the dog, and trying to retrieve shoes, socks, gloves, paper towel rolls, kleenex, and whatever else that dog snags, out of his mouth. We don't have a fully fenced back yard, so he can't roam free and he's either in the house or on the leash with me. I put him out on a long, long leash our son had, but he bit right through it in about 5 seconds flat. Then there is the occasional misreading of his intentions, and I end up cleaning up a toxic waste "dump" from my living room carpet. Yuck. :P Then Friday, Saturday and Sunday is for the rest of the stuff that I didn't get done on the other four days. Like today....I gotta clean this place up and get ready for another 4 days of Diego. A quick week or two goes by and I remember that I haven't checked in with the Forum bunch in a while. I'm not sure I could fill Laz's shoes anyway. But I thank you for the nomination. Truly. (PS. I see they are going to make a movie with Jennifer Anniston and Owen Wilson out of the book, "Marley and Me". I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's hilarious. And touching. And smart. And, did I mention hilarious? Read the book, people, read the book.)
On another note, I had an MRI last Friday and I'm supposed to be seeing the dr for the results this coming Friday, which I just realized is Leap Day. This will be almost 2 years since I was diagonosed with my AN. I learned what I had after my MRI in early March two years ago, right after I turned 60. Now my 62nd birthday is Saturday, and I am confident that Dr. Modha will be giving me good news for my birthday present! I am sure he will say that necrosis is continuing...if that's the right terminology. I will post what he has to say, of course. Wouldn't want to keep you guys out of the loop!
There was a new MRI machine in place at Rebound, where I go. The Tech said that it was 30% faster and 30% better imaging than the old one, but, unfortunately, not 30% quieter. It was acutally louder! So, what kind of technology is that! Anyway, I am lucky that I don't have a problem with having an MRI and, other than feeling like you are inside a washing machine/car alarm/proton accelerator, I was fine and in 40 minutes I was out of there and on to Trader Joe's.
Okay, gotta go clean.
Love ya guys,
Sue in Vancouver
-
You know, I don't usually read this particular thread because I came in late and I just get too confused as to where you're all going and where you've all been! I mean, 150 pages you guys!!! It would take me days of reading just to get up to speed ;D
I must say though that I really like the Oprah cruise idea in conjunction with the 2009 symposium. I'm hopeful a lot of forum members will attend so I can meet everyone. If we do get a cruise, we definitely have to have Jimmy Buffett music in honor of all the Parrotheads on this forum (myself included).
-
L,
gotta read all 150 pages to become a fully fledged wench (lol)
Sydney just had the QE2 and Queen Victoria rust buckets pass each other in our harbour. neither tin can is a match for our PBW.
Laz
p.s - Sue, looks like ya better sharpen ya quill and get loads of ink bottles out, rumour has it that some heavy pursuasion and ya might take on da job. And on your MRI results, positive vibes from down under.
-
Gee, Larry, are we talking money here? HA ;)
I know the writer's strike is over, but maybe I should have gotten in on the negotiations or somethin'.
Thanks for the Good Vibes from down under. Take all I can get.
Sue in, of all places, Vancouver.
-
Sue - Sending you pre-birthday wishes and big hug. I know your news from the doc will be positive ;D
Sounds like Diego is keeping you quite busy. I am sure you are having a great time, well except for the "toxic waste dump" lol
Hugs,
Cheryl
-
Thanks Cheryl for the best wishes. Yes, Diego is a real handful. Our son left him alone in the apartment the other night, and had him corralled in the kitchen. Well, Diego got into the garbage and ate something that made him have the "trots", and our son was up quite a few times during the night traipsing Diego out side. I guess he made quite a mess. So, he'll now be crated when David leaves him. Poor Diego. Poor Son.
Diego does fancy himself a lap dog and can be quite affectionate. But I don't care what he thinks, he is hardly a lap dog sized dog. I have bruises from his affectionate lunges. Ah, but he's lovable, despite everything.
Sue
-
L,
gotta read all 150 pages to become a fully fledged wench (lol)
Gee, Laz -
I've never been called a "fully fledged wench" before. Not sure if that's something I should strive for or not ??? LOL
One night when I can't sleep, I'll try to get through all 150 pages. I'm sure it's great reading.
Jan
-
Jan,
I read all of it in one night. I think it was 109 pages at the time. It was one of my sleepness nights. I laughed so hard I cried. I came to a great understanding of the people on this forum and how kind, understanding and compansionate they all are and truly humorous. It is worth the time it takes to read it. I am proudly.............
Wench Brendalu or Brendalu Wench whichever comes first......................
-
Sue, Happy Birthday! I too am looking at my 2 year anniversary of diagnosis....this week actually! It's almost imponderable, all that I've been through in this time. Cheryl, Lo and I are breaking open a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate, make sure you join us!!! And anyone else that has a bottle of sparkly laying around! Cheers everyone!
-
Anniversary eh.
I'll drink to that - prefer a glass of Moet but!
a cracker jack day in Sydney town today, bright blue sunshine and about 26 degrees. Its too good to work today and the headaches are unrelenting (oops, wrong thread). This is a our happy thread.
looking forward to lying under my favourite tree in the park nearby. I go there for a one, two and sometimes three hour rest (got a great boss, she doesn't mind as long as I do what I'm supposed to do, she's one in a million) - unlike our over demanding Captain who makes us swab the decks and stuff!!!!!!
Laz
-
Brendalu -
thanks for the hearty endorsement of this thread. I'll definitely have to take time to read it my next sleepless night.
There are many nights I could use a good laugh.
And Laz, save some of that Moet for me. It's my favorite, and sadly, I haven't had any in years. I'm thinking I need to make up for lost time ;D
Jan
-
I vote for Prosecco, but then I'm hardly impartial, it's from my region! I have a few bottles ready Kathleen, just let me know when to pop the cork(s)! On top of that, it'll help my blood pressure. Win win situation.
:)
Hugs you anniversary ladies!
Lorenzo
-
I'd much rather celebate the sugery date given that I woke up than my diagnsosis date. Making it through is a much better celebration than a celebration of something negative.
Sue the dogs are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the link. Happy Birthday!
-
yea, I was thinking the same thing... why celebrate the day the doctor gave you the worst news of your life ???. Personally, I celberate each and every day I wake up and say a prayer of thanks for my continued recovery and all my blessings. And of course I especially celebrate my suregery ANiversary, forever grateful that I survived that horrible surgery.
Thanks be to God, my surgeons, and this forum....the folks on here were a lifesaver during my darkest moments during the hard parts of recovery.
HUGS
Patti UT :-*
-
I celebrate everyday I wake up! Pour me a glass of that wine, please. We can toast to the many blessings we all have and we all share.
Hugs,
Brenda
-
Hey guys just a thought here, isn't LADavid qualified to play a Dr? We could lure him with some fresh rum I'm sure. Matti I'm sure we could hook you up with a seeing eye assistant! I second the motion for the ship to be called the BattyPrincess and sailing to the Grand Caymens. That is my sons fav spot to cruise to. The velco vest idea is great. Just be careful with this group as if you get stuck they will forget about you and leave you behind to unstick yourself (lol). Sail on my friends. 16
PS I think we should all brings our pets with us. Now who should we get to clean up after them? Hmmm maybe some of the real Drs and those once in a million grumpy night nurses. ;)
-
16,
how about the resident doctors who pesterd me almost to death at the university hospital after surgery. they can clean up after the animals. Seems you have been reading about 100 pages back??? BTW, the ship has always been the PBW Princess Batty Wench as far as I know. The velcro vests came in a long long time agon, great invention they ARRR ARRR ARRR for us wobbly An folks, had to wear one and install velcro all around my house just after surgery, was like being inside a pinball machine, me being the ball LOL

Patti that is a great idea! I vote for the Residents, they so need to be reminded that they are our employees so to speak. They do pester all of us to death! I'm bad I have not read all of the posts so I'm shooting in the dark here. I guess that is why they left me to unstick myself. You are a hoot........I'm getting a visual of you as the ball. ;D 16

I celebrate treatment anniversary. Diagnosis was darkest day for me (esp., for me, double diagnosis on one day, with a 3rd nasty given prior).... but, I celebrate treatment... and with good reason. I started my new life, post treatment... and that is what I carry with me.
Gawd, I miss the PBW Muster drills back on pg. 2-10 in this thread. Was such fun! Including velcro life vests. BTW, did Matthew ever stowe away with us?
David, me likes Sir Tony! Will make sure, as the cursed cruise director, that you and Sir Tony, sit at Captn's table for dinner! :D

I don't think Mathew actually stowed away with us, but we sure dipped him in a lot of chocolate....over and over and over LOL
I think chocolate dipping Mathew replaced all them Greek massage Gods

OK, I'm pullin a Cap'n Deb and replying to me own post...lol

Brendalu, I've been pouring you a glass of wine...several to be exact since you posted this, and you have not drunk them, I've been having to do all the work for you ;D

I need to find a wine that is very sweet. Since surgery all wine taste like vinegar to me :P
Did someone say chocolate and matthew? LOL :-*
Four more classes, then I'll have my MBA (will still have five classes to go for the CPA) but will have some time to do some dipping if only I can find matthew LOL
-
Have you tried a good dessert wine they are often sweeter. You don't need to spend much as some of the cheaper ones are very good.
5 more classes that is awesome. You should be so proud and doing all of this while dealing with an AN. You are an inspiration to all of us. Way to go!!!! 16

Four more classes, then I'll have my MBA (will still have five classes to go for the CPA)
Congratulations, Michelle. Lots of hard work involved in achieving that goal. I don't know how you do it.
I've been saying for many years now that I'd like to get my MBA, and I'm still just saying it; can't seem to find the motivation to put my words into actions.
Good for you :)

We'll all celebrate the way we feel we can and is most appropriate. For me, celebrating the day my life changed and the friends i made from that moment, and celebrating the ones that departed on the way, is all part of it. For me that diagnosis day was the day I found out I wasn't imaging this for the previous five years and it came as a relief. Oh yes, sure, it's wasn't the news I was hoping for. But, here I am, made it through the ups and many downs, the black and darkness, but also the bright side. :) So I'll pop a bottle of Prosecco or two in celebration of my life and all that has been positive for me, including finding out my life was going to change on that day, 13 June 2004!
:)
Salute, Lorenzo

Patti,
I drank the whole bottle and started on the next!

Good Morning All!
I used to always note the day of my surgery...then for a couple of years it passed and I didn't think about it until after it was over. When I hit the 10 year mark -- I gave myself a party (lunch) with my close friends -- I felt I had deserved it & I was celebrating the life I had and theat they were in it! They actually surprised me the Friday before at another lunch & all brought me presents!! It was nice to know that they realized it as a big milestone for me and I felt like they valued me in their lives too!!
The obvious would be tight-dyed tights...

I am contemplating having the date of my surgery tattoed on my left ankle (AN was on the left side). Something small and tasteful that won't be that noticeable to others, but I'll know its there and what it means.
It was a day that changed my life forever and it also marked a huge event in my life. I feel a personal need to somehow commemorate it.
I don't currently have any tattoes (in general I'm not a tattoo kind of person) so this would be a big step for me. I'm not sure I'll actually do it; but then again I just might.
Jan
-
Go ahead, Jan! Be a wild woman!! Maybe you could be on that Miami Ink show..where they do the tattoos.. ;D
And speaking of anniversaries - I just passed my one year last Wednesday, the 20th and went yesterday for my dr. appt - my MRI looks "perfect" and I don't have to have another one until I get to the 5 year mark!! Yahooo! We celebrated by going to lunch at a brew pub downtown where they have really good brown ale and the biggest slices of carrot cake I've ever seen! Cake and beer - doesn't get much better than that! Well, maybe some chocolate would have been good, too....
So, here's a toast, with your drink of choice, to all the milestones we've reached!! And many more to come!

Jan, I'm working on a tattoo (actually Lorenzo is designing it for me!) of the letters AN with a red circle and slash through it, 3.1 cm wide, and it's going behind my right ear. NO AN! So I say go for the tattoo!!!! I have one already, took me 35 years to figure out what I wanted, and I've never regretted it. I think they're great for symbolic things. I know a lot of cancer patients that have gotten one after treatment to commemorate it.
I thought surgery day was worse than diagnosis day, that was a bad day and I did not feel good. So last year, on my first anniversary, I spent the day in a spa having a feel good day. That day is just for me to spend some time with myself and work out issues relating to this journey, so I think Sue's 2 year, her birthday and my two year is a great time to celebrate the good parts of this journey, and the dear, dear, friends I've made because of it whom I love dearly. Celebrate that we aren't going through this alone.
Anyone know how many points in a whole bottle of sparkly?? I'm saving my weekly 35!!! :)

Did some one say fresh rum???? I am quite sure I could be lured. And a voyage to Grand Cayman to boot. Count me in. Somewhere around here I have a photo of me in doctor garb.

thanks for the vote of confidence; maybe it's time I was a wild woman - I'm not getting any younger LOL
I was thinking maybe I'd get the tattoo during my recovery period from the BAHA surgery; will have to ask the doc what he thinks.
I'm also wavering a little because I donate blood every 8 weeks and a tattoo would mean I couldn't donate for a year.
Gennysmom -
I thought about putting the tattoo behind my left ear, but my kids would be mortified. At their age, I'm always embarrasing them ;D
I think one on my ankle would be about all they could handle.
So tell me, just how painful is getting tattooed? I've heard various opinions and some say that I shouldn't do my ankle, I should do a body part with more fat on it.
Jan
-
My son said it hurt a bit but was not to bad. His was on his upper arm. It makes me hurt just thinking about it. I could not stand to have anything done to my ankle. My sister had a rose done right about her ankle and she said it was not bad. She is a wienie when it comes to things so it could not have been to bad or she would have cried and cried. :D 16
-
Jan, my tat is on my shoulder, on the bony part. I've heard it's the stuff on bones that hurts. This is a really weird thing to say, but I felt the pressure, but not really painful....like someone carving on me with an exacto knife. You'd think that would hurt, but think if you've ever accidently cut yourself with a really sharp knife...it didn't hurt at first, right? You just kind of have to get your mind off what you're doing. Bring a friend to talk to you during it, then you won't even think about it. That's what I did. Did it on vacation in San Francisco at Lyle Tuttle's place.

I cant believe what they charge for tattoos these days? I have 7 and dont think I ever paid over $10 for one? Hong Kong was the best as the Chinamen would try to get you drunk while waiting in hopes you would opt for a $20 tattoo I would drink 5 or 6 bottles of beer and get a 2 dollar tattoo my tattoo in the Philippines was done with an Xacto knife and to date it is still the brightest the others done with the guns have faded, to me it doesnt hurt just kind of annoying like getting scratched by rosebushes. Have a zipper tattooed on the scar! my scar looks like somebody hit me with a pitching wedge behind my left ear there is a divot it needs some bondo.
-
Don, that's fabulous! My dad has a nice tattoo that he picked up in the Air Force in Guam in the late 50's, and the colors in it are fabulous! Not sure how much it cost, I never asked him! Love the zipper idea!

Anyway, for those enthusiasts, on start date 200708.15 mathew was dipped in chocolate about 3,752 times then everyone else got a turn after kathleen was through with him (lol)
Oh, as far as the grog goes, down under we have a magical invention that i will try and find a picture of but it entails a headband with two cans of VB (best beer in the world) attached to the ends with a tube from the can, into the mouth. Thats called, beer on tap!

Since we are talking about tattoos, I'll add mine. I have two. First one I got when I was thirty-five (I wanted one when I was eighteen and my Dad just about had a stroke over it. Said I should really think about it before I did it) So I did, for seventeen years. A samll butterfly where no one can see it unless I show it. Second one I got ten years later after my home was broken into and my clown collection was destroyed. I had a clown tattooed and he has big feet and a green plaid suit and red hair. He is really cute, but no one sees him unless I show him. Mine didn't hurt and I wasn't drunk when I got them. Now pass the rum or is it martinis we are havin or what is the drink of the day? Pass the popcorn please........
Brendalu
-
Jan, I've got one on my ankle and it wasn't bad. It's more the outlining part that smarts a little. The coloring in part isn't bad. But you're a Mom - you can handle it.
If you really want one behind your ear - tell your kids you're getting one on your forehead. They'll be so mortified at that and think that behind your ear sounds like a great idea in comparison.
I know a good tattoo place in Key West.... 8)

Getting really pissed before getting tattooed is not a good idea unless your used to it we had one guy one time in Hong Kong who was not much of a hoser get a tattoo and after two big bottles of HK beer he was pretty bust up , well he got a pink panther on his upper arm and when he uncovered it the next day the chinamen had tattooed a female crotch on it! LOL lucky we were already at sea or he would have went down and destroyed the place, he hd a pair of pants tatooed over it in Japan

Somehow I don't think this group needs to much reason to celebrate ANYTHING! ;)
Hmm, got up this morning. - Celebrate!
The Lost boys are on TV! Bring on the liquor....
It's Friday! Whoo Hoo!
IT'S LEAP DAY!! And a Friday. DOUBLE WHOO HOO!
Make mine a double, please!
Just wanted to say that my family and I are going to partake of Fine Dining on Sat. March 1, for my birthday. We will be sashaying ourselves down to Andina, a PERUVIAN restaurant in Portland in the "Pearl District", which is now a fancy dancy place to explore, but used to be the old warehouse area of Portland. Andina is supposed to be a really wonderful restaurant and I am really looking forward to trying some of their specialty items. I think it was voted Restaurant of the Year for Portland a few years ago. You can tell I don't get out much! But no tats. My son decided to get into that, since this seems to be the tattoo generation. I have a hard time looking at them on his arms. I think of my pretty baby boy and his smooth baby skin, and think....oh, jeez, WHAT is he doing?
Okay, I'll post later on my dr. appointment.

We will be close to Portland's China Town....must be a tattoo parlor down there somewhere. My aunt would never speak to me again!
I will have to do a restaurant review for you.
I posted separately about my dr appointment, but everything is looking good. Nothing new, no changes, still dying. That's okay with me!
Just google Andina Portland Oregon restaurant and you'll probably bring up the website and their interesting Peruvian menu, if anybody is curious.
Thanks for the birthday wishes. I feel like I am now officially a "Senior Citizen" because I'm on the "company dole" and will be getting my Soc. Security next month. This is hard to believe, because I am a Boomer, a flower child, part of the hippie generation, singing The Beat Goes On and Kumbaya My Lord, while filing out my application for the Peace Corps and idolizing Jackie Kennedy in her pillbox hats, and joining hands with Martin Luther King and marching on Washington, and being "in love" with Frankie Avalon, and writing to Annette Funicello to get her autograph, and hurrying home from school to watch d*** Clark and The American Bandstand, AND The Mickey Mouse Club because Spin and Marty were on that day, and the entire evening lineup of television (in black and white) were westerns and knowing all the theme songs by heart because the shows ran from September to May and you heard them every week, and also having a little crush on Johnny Crawford so you couldn't hardly wait for The Rifleman to be on, and then The Beatles and The Beach Boys came along and then it was time for Prom's and long dresses and long white gloves and boys in white jackets and lots of cheap pink carnations and maybe a small rose for the corsage, and you better get a wrist corsage if you were wearing a spaghetti strap dress, and then with everyone dressed to the nines, you went out and did The Twist like you did last summer and this all took place at the school gym that was turned into An Evening in Paris, or Shangri La and it was almost beautiful, if you used your imagination and sort of squinted, and then being a Senior in High School and going to football games in the sloppy rain, and then late in November a young President is dead, and the world starts to change and Happy Days is pretty much done for, only to return at a later date with The Fonz. And thank heaven for that! So then it's time for serious school and going to work and meeting new people and weeding through the riffraff to find true love and getting married in the small church with the reception in the church basement for crying out loud, with just cake and punch and those mints! No big catered hoopla here. And having a baby and taking your child to pre-school, kindergarten and then his high school graduation and then you're having your 50th birthday and then it's your 60th birthday and then, oh yes, you have a stupid Acoustic Neuroma (excuse me!) and then you're signing up for Social Security and thinking....Whoa, Nelly, what is happening here?
So, there you go. Most of my life in one paragraph!! ;D :o Well, sort of. Metaphorically speaking. I didn't march on Washington or join the Peace Corps. But I do have Spin and Marty's autograph! And Annette's. hee hee Oh come on, somebody out there must know who they are! HA
Well, that was fun. Talk to you later.
Sue in Vancouver

that one paragraph, metaphorical or not, is fuller than my three, sorry, four, short paragraphs!
happy birthday!

Sue in Vancouver you must be a So Cal girl sure I know who Spin and Marty were I even had the T shirt and Annette and Moon Doggy were at the movies along with " Little" Stevie Wonder! A&W was still available in a frosted mug and the waitress's came to your car they were called car hops I believe and Linda Rondstat and the Stone Ponies and Smokey Robinson and the Imperials played at our grad night at the Magic Kingdom, Uncle Jimmy Weldon and Webster Web foot are still around that duck must be full of moth holes by now?

Sue!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (again - you can NEVER do b-days too much, in my opinion!)
I had HEARD of all the stuff you referred to...but sad to say, no autographs!

Happy Birthday! What a remarkable time to grow up in. I'm a few years younger than you , but I have a sister around your age. I love everything nostalgic. Simpler times, good times, and a true innocence that has been lost forever. I enjoyed reading your brief synopsis of your life. The music out of the '60 was the best!!! Motown, The Beatles, Elvis,The Bristish Invasion, Sonny & Cher, the beat goes on.
Enjoy, celebrate.......................

THANK YOU. I'm getting so many birthday wishes that my heart is full! You guys are the best. Don, I did live in S. California for a time - 3rd through 9th grade. We went to Disneyland and there was Spin and Marty and I got in the line for their autograph. I had an autograph book I carted around with me because every once in a while I would see somebody from TV. I was a bit star struck. My uncle was a stunt double for James Drury in The Virginian and I was fascinated with show biz.

Yeah back in those days in So Cal stars were no big deal old Hoss(Dan Blocker) of Bonanza had family up the street from us and we used to see him as kids also my friend and his cousins used to beat up Opie (Ron Howard) in Burbank. Remember Cal Worthington and Cals corral at Worthington Dodge, live country music Buck Owens etc. Wrestling at the El Monte Legion with d*** Worth ringside the Los Angeles T- Birds roller derby? KFWB or KRLA only.

Hey Guys,
Don, I lived in Santa Paula and then Ventura, so didn't venture into LA area much. My mother, not being a native Californian, was not comfortable driving there, even back then when it was busy, but probably not like anything today. But you never knew who would be around the next corner. Saw long time character actor Claude Akins (found this: http://members.tripod.com/~compmast/akins/akins.html) who made a career of playing big burly cops, big burly bad guys, big burly truck drivers, big burly longshoremen, anything big and burly, at a golf course in the Ventura area. I had just seen him the previous Friday night on (okay people, VINTAGE ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT COMING RIGHT UP!) 77 Sunset Strip, starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr.; father of Stefanie, cutie Roger Smith, husband of AnnMargaret; and also Edd Byrnes, who played the ultra cool hipster, Kooky and had the short-lived hit, "Kooky, Kooky, Lend Me Your Comb". Mr. Akins, of course, had played a big burly policeman on that show. I ran right up and got his autograph. And as I remember it, he was, indeed, big and burly! And once, while visiting a friend in Santa Barbara, I glimpsed Fess Parker heading into a building. Fess Parker was well known for playing Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone and he is a successful businessman in that area. (I guess he's still alive...??) Didn't pursue the autograph, darn it. I think I was in a car with my friend's family, and couldn't gracefully escape to chase my target at the time.
Then, once on a trip to LA, we went into a large department store, one with many floors. One entire floor was devoted to hats. At that time it was called The Millinery Department. I spied a familiar face and asked for his autograph too. Now, boys and girls, this is REALLY going back - to 1956-1959. The Gale Storm Show. James Fairfax as the steward Cedric. He was sitting there with his wife, and she was trying on hats. He was a little old man with a twinkle in his eye. Very cute.
Then I literally chased down Richard Boone when I was in Hawaii. He was living there and was at a concert. I was after him like white on rice. I mean, this was PALADIN, for cryin' out loud. Not at the time that I got his autograph, but still. This is one of the western theme songs I knew by heart. He was AWESOME. Had to run him to ground. If I had been civilized about this whole autograph thing I should have just written to the studio and gotten an autographed photo. Didn't do that for some reason. Just chased 'em when I found 'em, I guess. ;D
Matti, the dr appointment went fine. No changes and the doctor said he was very pleased with how everything looked. Said he'd see me in 18 mos. I did post something over in the Radiation "community".
The big birthday dinner was very nice. (And expensive, but we already knew that didn't we?")
We had excellent service and the food was very good. I had, and I quote "SECO A LA NORTEÑA an old family recipe; lamb shank slow-cooked in the traditional Northern Peruvian style with cilantro, black beer, ajàAmarillo, onions and garlic; served with a bean stew and salsa criolla", thank you very much. Also for cocktails, I had " RON-YKI-ON roasted ginger infused silver rum shaken with grapefruit juice, lime juice, and cane sugar, served up with a cardamon sugar rim" and it was very good! The Pearl District is reclaimed warehouse spaces, and it's full of great restaurants, trendy nightspots, elegant art galleries, expensive lofts... that sort of place. So these buildings have a lot of high ceilings, wood floors, open spaces that echo and don't absorb the noise of the people who are having a swell time with their Fine Dining experience. So the freakin' place is really, really LOUD! And there was some lady behind us who laughed, and laughed and laughed, and was having quite a nice time, but she laughed the whole darn time we were there. Loud laughing. That reverberated inside my head and bounced from nerve to nerve like a ping pong ball on steroids. I wanted to strangle her. But she was having so much fun that I thought maybe I should restrain myself. The restaurant brought me a birthday "treat" for dessert. They have a lovely oblong dish with Feliz Cumpleanos written across the bottom of the plate in chocolate, and then a beautiful dessert with raspberry or some kind of berry sauce and some berries artfully arranged. The dessert was light and airy and I'm not sure what it was, sort of a custardy cheescaky molded thingie with the sauce, again artfully, drizzled around. They brought forks for all of us to share in the treat. It was very beautiful, as they are in these Fine Dining Establishments. Also, they have a casual atmosphere and the kitchen is open and not far away and the noise of the kitchen adds to the ambient noise level. I will say, that it's been a long time since I've had the pleasure of having such attentive servers in a busy place like Andina. We had more than one person bringing us the drinks, the tapas that we tried (Yucca Rellenos, which was really good, I thought, and not at all what I expected, and quinoa coated shrimp) and the main course, and not letting us want for anything - except some peace and quiet! HA If we ever go there again, I shall ask if there is a quieter area of the restaurant, and I'll know to ask for a booth. I don't lead that sheltered of a life, we do go out and about on occasion, but not often to these kinds of places. These, in our book and wallet, are reserved for SPECIAL OCCASIONS only. Maybe eventually, before I die, I'll learn how to ask for and get the most out of our Fine Dining moments.
Sorry this is long and chatty. I guess I was in a "creative writing" mood. Thanks for letting me indulge. Thanks again for all the best wishes. I really appreciate it. :) :) :)

Yeah Sue Paladin was one of my favorite shows, and I thought he was a good actor still to this day. I miss those shows Later in life I used to watch the Rifleman I do believe I had seen every one you talk about a strange experience the other day I got to thinking about how PC the world now is and whatever happened to my favorite cartoon in Kindergarten-BOSCO well lo and behold you can get a Bosco DVD on Amazon and it was so strange seeing Bosco and Daisy again after almost 50 years? I still knew the songs and the animation is so good I sent it to my grandson to enjoy as the new computer generated things like shrek dont do anything for me? I had forgotten about Kooky? Remember Maynard G. Krebs, Dobie Gillis my sister was on Loyd Thaxton twice?
-
Oh yeah....loved Dobie Gillis. The Internet has a bunch of websites devoted to 50's and 60's TV and such. Stumbled upon a Sky King website once. My aunt was talking about the old radio shows. I do remember, when but a small tyke, sitting on my Dad's lap to listen to Sgt. Preston of the Yukon. I remember the whistling wind and the barking and panting of his faithful sled dog, King. Hup, King!! They always had to track some dangerous desperado across the frozen wilderness to Yellowknife, or Dawson. I also remember, sort of, Inner Sanctum and Boston Blackie. There must have been others my folks listened to, but I don't really remember them. I'm not THAT old! HA I'm surprised at the old TV shows I remember watching. My Little Margie, December Bride with Spring Byington, I Married Joan with Joan Davis, The Life of Riley with William Bendix, Ozzie and Harriet (but that played for years), Private Secretary with Ann Southern (Oh, Mr. Sands!), Dragnet, I Led Three Lives (which I didn't understand - but it was about spies I think), Science Fiction Theater, Sky King, Superman with George Reeves and really awful acting, Our Miss Brooks with Eve Arden, Richard Crenna and wonderful character actor Gale Gordon. Poor Ann Southern was a little on the hefty side, but such a pretty lady, and they put her in some of the most Gawd Awful dresses, with big collars and big bows and big skirts. I think I watched mostly because I was fascinated with her wardrobe! And so many more. I obviously have watched waaaaaaay too much TV in my lifetime. Do ya suppose that can cause an AN? If so, it's a wonder I didn't grow one when I was 12. It's called a "soft addiction" and I would suppose I've had it most of my life I guess it's better than drugs, booze, and gambling. I've always enjoyed being entertained. :)
Well, enough of that! Have a great week everyone.
Love ya,
Sue in Vancouver

You forgot Topper? My life was a little different as my best friend lived right next to the school in the 6th grade so we would go to his house for lunch and have a few belts from his Dads bar with our PB&J since they both worked? A nice nap in the afternoon class was nice and the silly teacher would tell us to go to bed earlier? Wonder what our BAC was ?, this was in 1963 teachers back then were not on the lookout for junior drunks? Oh what a time it was So Cal in those days. cheap booze probably causes all sorts of tumors also not just sitting too close to your CRT TV with all those mystery tubes inside, remember foot x-rays at shoe stores? LOL what a concept many years later I became an industrial radiographer and even went so far as to go to Radiation safety officer school in the Navy and often wonder how many REMs Buster Brown dished out?
-
One other thought crossed my mind before going to bed here back in 1969 or so I had my first motorcycle and would often put more than a 1,000 miles amonth on it and my sainted mother was driving home from work one night and saw me headed her way in the opposite lane standing up sliding along the metal plates I had screwed to the bottom of my boots leaving two huge rooster tails of sparks at around 50 mph she hasnt been the same since!
-
Yes, I remember Topper! Well, back then there were mostly 1/2 hour shows. An hour show was a pretty big deal. So there were lots of shows. And I had my feet x-rayed at a shoe store too. Only once or twice maybe because they didn't have those in the small town that I lived, but they had one in downtown Portland. What a hoot.

Kids today will never know? Remember phone booths? and when all telephones were black and lasted forever? I just spent a half hour screwing around adding minutes to my trakfone I really dislike cell phones but now that Im bust up there is no such things as phone booths anymore for me to call a cab and for those who havent tried riding the Handi Van leaves a lot to be desired, as I am not mental just disabled and dont need all sorts of fun on the bus with these guys? Daaar My brother is the President Daaar!, We go doctor you too?

I was in the nineth grade before we got a telephone. Talk about ruining my social life. We lived so far out in the country that we had to pay for the poles to be put in and pay for the lines. That was for a party line and you had to pick up the phone and wait for the operator to say, "Number, please." If there was someone else talking you had to wait your turn. We had a one long ring and the other "party" had two short rings.
The funny thing was about ten years later my Mom looked out her window and saw a telephone lineman messing with her poles. She went out and asked him what he was doing. He said connecting you neighbor so they can have a phone. She said those are my poles and no you aren't. He started to argue with her, she turned around and went outside with a shotgun pointed at him . She then asked him what part of get away from my poles and off my property now. He couldn't get into his truck fast enough. In the end the phone company had to pay my Mom back for the poles and the lines, plus interest. The neighbor didn't get a phone for about three months.
In the biggest town nearest to us we had a place called Carrolls that had the first 15 cent hamburgers! Way before McDonalds.
Sue, seriously though, can you believe all of the things we have seen come into being since we were born. Probably more than any other generation. Some of it I wish would go away...................
I love to reminice about the "good old days". How about Howdy Doody and Clarabelle? Captain Kangaroo?
Sounds like you had a wonderful birthday...
Hugs,
Brenda

Thats the best story I've heard in a long time.. I really did Laugh Out Loud -- Never argue with a shotgun pointed out you ---
-
Brendalu, that's hilarious!
Yes, we have seen a lot of things come and go. That's funny about the phones because I was in the mall the other day and I got something at the Qwest store, and I passed all those other booths for phone stuff and I thought...wow, I miss Ma Bell!
But when I worked at the beach in the early 80's, a gentleman named Hank, age 80 something would come have his morning cup of coffee with us and we'd all shoot the breeze until somebody would come into the store and we'd have to work. Anyway, on his 84th birthday (he said he was old enough to be dead!) I asked about all the changes he'd seen in his lifetime, which were considerable. I asked what was the most important thing that happened, in his opinion. He looked right at me and said "The Combustible Engine!". He was a lot of fun.

My Mom was a serious kind of gal. You never messed with her kids or her money! She was burning trash one time and a wind came up and took out the entire hill of scrub behind us and some withered old pine trees owned by an absent neighbor. The fire department head guy came up and pulled into our yard (it was a wet day) and handed my Mom a bill for a couple of thousand dollars. She took it and went inside, told him to wait a minute and came back with a bill for him for screwing up our yard. She had to get that shot gun out on him to get him to leave and in leaving he really messed up the yard. The fire department took Mom to court to get their money and Mom counter sued and she won! They had to come fix our yard and Mom didn't have to pay for the services of four fire departments. The hill behind us never looked so beautiful when it turned greean again and those are the pictures she took to court. What is was before and after. She was a character. I'm glad you got a good laugh. I do to everytiem I think about the things she did!
Hugs,
Brenda

I read all of it in one night. I think it was 109 pages at the time. It was one of my sleepness nights. I laughed so hard I cried. I came to a great understanding of the people on this forum and how kind, understanding and compansionate they all are and truly humorous. It is worth the time it takes to read it. I am proudly.............

"Adventures in Paradise" with Gardner McKay! From when I was but a little wench I wanted to live in the tropics and sail crystal blue water and I got to do it for most of my life, and guess what--my life ain't over YET! HAH!

Brendaluwench,
I can picture your mom with that shotgun. I immediately thopught of Ma kettle! Now there's a blast from the past.
I would love to see a photo of the phone guy, hightailin' into his truck.
i reckon that the good ship PBW has its new gunner - Brendaluwench (some of mom's traits must have past down)
laz
p.s - good ta have ya back on deck Capt'n. and congrats to the ship's namesake for the MBA.
-
Brenda,
Who needs women's lib with a mom like yours!!!
LOVE IT!!!! ;D

You know, Capt. Deb, I always wondered who Gardner McKay was. He's mentioned in one of Jimmy Buffett's songs ("We are the People our Parents Warned Us About", I think). Thanks for solving that mystery for me.
Jan
-
Larry, I was thinking of Ma Kettle too! But I was thinking I might hurt Brendalu's feelings! HA Forgot about Adventures in Paradise. And there was always Sea Hunt, too.
Thanks, Cap't for the belated wishes. Had a nice birthday.
Sue in Vancouver
-
Brendawenchlu is perfect! Thanks, Capt Deb...........you have been missed! Laz, my Mom was kinda the Ma Kettle type! I think I have a few of her traits, but I was always a better shot than she was. (I hunted with my Dad when my brothers wouldn't). I think that her stockings said it all.......................I think I'll wear some like them! :o
Ann Marie.......my Mom was a women's libber way before they became popular. She was a combo of Martha Stewart, Bob Villa, Ma Kettle and Mrs. Cleaver (except she worked outside the home, too) She was always fighting some cause and winning. She always took the undergog's side.
Hugs,
Brendawenchlu ::)
-
Sounds like my kind of woman. Too bad she wasn't running for the Democratic leadership, sounds like she would win hands down!!!
-
Jan--The line is
"Hey, hey, Gardner McKay,
Take me on the Leaky Tiki with you!"
It refers to his old boat the Tiki which was a charter boat out of St Thomas in the late 70's and nicknamed the Leaky Tiki. It's where all the newbie dock rats could work for "room and rum" and was a notorious party boat. She were a little ragged round the edges and had a bit of a green skirt on her bottom, but were a heap of fun and crawling wiv cute young scallywags!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Thanks, Capt.
Been singing the song for years, yet didn't have a clue as to who Gardner was. Have been meaning to search the web for him, but never got around to it.
I'll have to look online to see if I can find some video of Adventures in Paradise; somehow as a child, I missed it.
Jan
-
AAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
It's official! Your dear Captain has decided to bestow the Official title of "Ship's Ghost" upon Captain Gardner McKay. May his adventurous spirit and love of the sea and all things wild and tropical, be with the PBW on all her voyages, both real and imagined, for ever and ever!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate2.gif)

Capt,
Right. If we're takin' in more "crew", then I'll lay in more rum barrels.
Rob
-
Hey grogmeister extraordinaire. Whats this about "lay in more rum barrels". I thought you meant to say "lay ON more rum barrels" but then I thought, nah, he's gonna lay IN 'em and soak it all up.
Call for more supplies Capt'n. The grogmeister aint sharin'.
Laz
p.s - anyone know wheretheheckarewe (sounds like a good name for a tribe) - anyone remember F Troop!

I hope we are someplace warm and without storms......................I am so ready for spring to sprung and summer to arrive......................................
I think I'll soak myself in the rum.........might warm me up a bit!
Wench Brendalu ready for action or whatever is coming our way ::)

Hope some of the eggs he's hiding have chocolate in them. And I hope we find them before the tropical sun we're heading into melts them. Nothing worse than melted chocolate - okay, maybe warm beer.
Happy Easter, all.
-
I hope he hid some TimTams and lots and lots of chocolate......... Happy Easter to all!
Wench Brendalu

Speaking if chocolate, as we do from time to time on this thread.....if any of you want to make a really good dark chocolate cake, get the Nestle's Special Dark cocoa powder and make the cake and frosting on the back of the container. It came out really great for me on the first try. Very moist, great dark chocolate flavor, and truly decadent. This would be wonderful with raspberry sauce or something like that. They do explain that because of the processing, this particular dark chocolate doesn't have the "healthy" benefits you association with it, and you get more of that with their regular cocoa powder. But...if you want that jolt of chocolate, and aren't going for any anti-oxident benefits, then this is the cake for you. Yum-O. Double Yum-O.
Sue in Vancouver

Sue -
thanks for the chocolate tip - sounds like my kind of cake ;D
Jan
-
Sue did you make enough for all of us? ;) 16
-
Sue, it may not have any anti-oxidant benefits, but it's sure got plenty of other benefits... mmmmmm... chocolate.....
Besides, there's eggs in cake... and milk... those are good for you.
Lori
-
Exactly! Got the basic food groups covered, I think! Sorry 16, that cake was gone in a flash! I actually made it for my birthday celebration back on March 1. That would make a really pretty cake with fresh raspberries, or fresh sliced strawberries strewn over the top. Triple Yum-O. Makes you want to bring out your inner Martha Stewart, or something. See, then with the fresh fruit....that makes it healthy, right? ;)
Sue in Vancouver

My dear capt'n Deb,
A KG is a kilogram. that is 2.2046 pounds for those of you who haven't grasped the metric measurement system.
Intertesting but, after light years using metrics, we still refer to 'things" in the old measurement system such as 4 be 2 (ok, ok Phyl, we are talking inches here). Bit of a mixture of sorts. geesh, I can bable about absolutely nothing. I know, I haven't had my morning coffee yet
hey, i was just sent this you tube link on stem cell use. have no idea how true it is but if it is, why couldn't we be injected with a stem cell to zap our AN's. Actually, i think a lot of surgeons wouldn't like it coz they would have to cancel their country club memberships. Oh dear, i need that morning coffee now, getting too heavy. Sorry gang, one of those days i guess.

Ah, I wish someone would get this ship movin somewhere, or are we on a cruise and I didn't hear the deck call??

Ok, Phyl, a raise it is. How about twice what you get now?
Now that would be....let me do the math....uh....still nothing. Spend it wisely! ;)
K - I think you've already been hitting the grog - judging from the pictures on your blog with the "panties" on your head.
Lori - who doesn't want a job or a raise.. just keep the rum coming. And if it can be delivered to me topside of the ship by Johnny Depp, that would be good.

Back by popular demand! (Well, okay, Brendalu wants a poem... ;) Thank you, Brendalu....)
Four hundred and sixty-three visits to go,
Then history will have been made,
A hundred thousand persons strong,
This record will likely not fade.
All Cakes did was say Good Morning,
She cleaned and did a word puzzle,
Now we all sail the seven seas,
With plenty of grog to guzzle.
Folks come from all over the world,
To visit and to spread some cheer,
To say Hello! and How are you?,
And, yes, Good Morning Dear.
It's great to have this wonderful place,
A place we can call our home,
But do you wonder if Cakes thought,
This would ever become such a tome?
We ended up with Deb as Captain,
A crew that is most certainly the best,
A pirate ship like none other,
Now, whoever would have guessed?
So go forth and multiply Good MorningThread,
Cakes' message has only begun,
Four hundred and some odd more visits to go,
A proud record that won't be outdone!
;D
Sue in Vancouver
Hey, I didn't say a Good Poem....but it's a poem, nonetheless.

Great poem Sue!!
Where are you Capt Deb? This Canadian girls misses you :P
How's the puppy?
Anne Marie
P.S. Laz you are missed too
-
Looks like this 'ere rust bucket needs some wenches scrubbin the deck and scally's drinkin' the rum mmmm, yep, got that right (girly - ya missed me thrown your stapler - your a good throuw but 10,000 miles is a little far!)
Sorry i have been missing in action but am dealing with some other rotten health issued at present 9 iwon't elaborate)
anyway, i think i might have to come out of retirement and get this show on the road.
Watch this space. in the menatime, we need to send a search party out for the Captain. Any volunteers?
Laz
-
Oh, and great Poem Sue - you are a legend. And for the girly who wants a raise - I'm sure the Captain will double your current Cruise director's wage oh thats right, you are the Cursed Cruise Director therefore, your wage has been cut in half but seeing that you are so good at your job, you can maintain your existing wage.
geesh, i think i have mad cows - call those men in white(again).
Laz
p.s - and the Countdown begins
-
Oh, Thank God, you're back, Laz. God Love Ya, you great big handsome Aussie, you. Sending you GREAT BIG GIANT wishes for the current rotten health problem to be gone, gone, gone. These wishes are riding the waves and the air currents all the way to the land of Oz, and surrounding you with soothing, healing, golden warm light of health and love.
Take care of yourself and I can't wait to see where we'll be going!

Thank you for the poem Sue, you need to write on TIBU..........you actually get paid for your writing! Laz, so sad to hear you have health woes. Never a good thing. Happy thoughts and prayers coming your way. Can't wait to hear the tales of the high seas.............
I think that Sadie St John has chewed her Master's hands so sore that the keyoard is too painful. Where is that Aloe plant??
Standing...err sitting ready. The countdown continues

But, I keep forgetting, on the Good Ship Princess Batty Wench, I can be a most beautiful young wench. Sort of like Second Life. Anyone been there? I was curious and went there and had fun creating my "Avatar", then I enjoyed flying around a bit and then the other Avatar people scared me! I am such a doofus, that I didn't realize that there is a sexual side to this stuff. I want the PG rated area, not the R rated areas - or "mature" as they call it. HA Even so, was also almost immediately "hooked" on it. It is called a "soft addiction", like computers, TV, video games, etc, and God Help Me, I am susceptible to such things and I deleted it from my computer. But it was really, really fun creating my Second Life persona. And I thought, wow..too bad I am not well versed in computer stuff and had money to buy an Island for us there. We could have a whole ANA Second Life thing going on, with pirate Avatars and our ship in the cove. I really could see it. I just don't know how to do it. Do you know that people can make actual real money on that site? I was trying to figure that out too! I doubt I'm clever enough to figure all that out.
Take care and have a good weekend everyone.
Sue

Hey Laz, gret to see ya here, Holding good thoughts for you and fanning the headache fairy duster around to chase away any head pain that might be going along with yer nasty health stuff. Always sending good thoughts to the land of OZ for ya.

Capt Deb reporting for duty! Puppy-bit hands are healing up a bit--she is indeed a wild little thang! Very playful and like her mistress, don't wan't to listen to noooo-body! Wow 100,000 views! Whodathunkit! Great poem Sue da poet Lorry-ate!
Time to weigh anchor and fall off on a fresh breeze!! I gots ta get me sea legs back! This winter has been the landlocked pits! Time to head for that One Particular Harbor! We'll hand the helm over to the Ship's Ghosts, Capts Erroll Flynn and Garner McKay (both of whose boats, Tiki and Sirrocco, I've sailed upon) so's we'll all have a chance to party together. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd need to call on them for help later in life to take all of my new friends for a ride!
Here we go! The freshly outfitted PBW!!

With a newly fitted PBW, the Capatin back on deck, after extended shore leave to attack the dreaded headaches, the good ship PBW is ready to set sail.
Off she goes.
With a splutter or 3, the Captain, back in fine form, yells to the crew, "Ahoy ye scalleys and wenches, get off ya tuchus's (backsides) and start that rowin. break out the oars, we got some serious plunderin' to be doin".
Row, row, row me boat
hurridly through the seas,
it's plunderin to be had
and chocolate to be... (to be continued by the lorryette)
"Which direction we be headin" says a shy crew member, not wantin to be noticed.
"AAAAAARRRRRRR" gargles the Capitain who has just downed a flagon of rum, "Thataway" the captain order, pointing to the wide open seas. We be headin fer Jaimaca where the livin' be easy, the plunderin a plenty and lots a rum.
This be an easy trek guided by the stars (had to get star trek in somehow) but alas (and there is always an alas) "what be that smoke comin' from the galley" the Captain ponders.
Is the good ship PBW on fire? oops, no smoke alarm. Are the crew up to a long journey after too much chocolate and rum? or is there another mystery on board that the chronologer hasn't thought of yet?
Stay tuned when the rust comes off the chronologers brain.

Oh my, how I have missed the tales of this ship and the fun! I'm ready for the adventure and it is so good to have Capt back and the Laz. Can't wait to read the rest of the poem. Sue, have you churned the ending out?? Going to the land of "no worries" I like the sounds of that!
Brendalu
-
It's good to be under sail again. I can hear the slap of the waves hitting the bow as we put out more sail and gain speed, and the creaking of the rigging. Sea birds are hoving over the ship hoping to swoop in for Tim Tam tidbits dropped by the crew. The refeshing smell of the sea breeze has blown away the fould smell from the smoke. Sorry about the smoke, I was burning IRS forms to keep the Federal pirates (4-15 is tax day in the US) from plundering more of me treasure.
Regards,
Rob

Hey Capt Deb,
Did you by chance rescue Sawyer from that "LOST" island? If you got him make sure you treat him with care until I get there!!!!
-
Howdy scallywags. It been a long, cold winter and havn' just crawled out ot the bear den, let me corral up the pokies, rig up the ol' prairie schooner and I'll met'cha at the dock. I got a bottle a' rattlesnake rot-gut tha'll hit the gullet just square. And that there Sawyer fella ain't so bad either.
See ya on deck!

Phyl, on Lost, if you think of it as your senior year of high school....
Matthew Fox who plays Jack (and by the way, there must be 147 characters on TV and in the movies named JACK!) is the most popular kid in school, the class president or maybe the star quarterback. He's boyishly handsome, and with the exception of needing braces to fix a few crooked teeth, he's pretty darn cute.
Evangeline Lilly, who plays Kate, is the cheerleader, (but with a mysterious past, of course) who is pretty and, even though moody at times and fickle with her love, she is just too darn perky.
Josh Holloway is Sawyer, the bad boy. The skater dude. He smokes in the boys room. He's a blonde Danny from Grease, only greasier. He has twinkly blue eyes and a devilish grin that was just made to make girls swoon. He is confident in his effect on the girls and uses it to full advantage. He has the tender soft side that doesn't show much and you know you are just the girl to tap into that side of him but more often he's the huckster and con man and will break your heart in a New York minute. Awwwww, who couldn't resist that? ;)
You could probably come up with a nice Wizard of Oz comparison to Lost also. Maybe Sawyer is the Tin Man, looking for his heart.
The weekend is coming soon, hope everyone has a good one. Here in the Great Pacific Northwest, winter is having a hard time deciding to leave. Snow will once again fall at the 1000 foot and higher range and it might get close to freezing here in Portland/Vancouver one night. My hubby will have to put back some of the plants into his greenhouse so they don't get unhappy out in the cold night. Last Saturday was unseasonably warm and it was great. Lots of people were out washing vehicles, mowing lawns, trimming, digging, planting (Ooops and here comes some cold weather!) and embracing the sun. Didn't last long. :(

Sue,
You did an awesome job of describing the characters on "Lost"! The poem was just what the ship needed!
Brendalu
-
Boy Sue, you should do the LOST recaps!!!!
-
Thanks Guys!!! ;D
If I had it to do all over again, I'd figure out some way to have some sort of career in the entertainment industry. Maybe. I wish I'd taken photography classes too. And, even though I made it (barely) to the school newspaper, I wish I'd been more into the creative writing and maybe the school yearbook. I wish I'd gotten whatever degree it is you get to be one of Oprah's producers on her show. Wow...now that would be a dream job. But, see....I just wanted to be wife and mom at the time. Didn't know about television production when I was in school. Didn't think about the possibilities. Didn't want to be a nurse, didn't want to be a teacher. Didn't want to be a secretary. Guess I'll be a wife and mother.
PS on Lost....And Phyl, guess who the cheerleader Kate finally decided to "snuggle" with? The Quarterback or the Greaser? Hmmmmmm? Yep, Bad Boys win sometimes. ;D
Sue in Vancouver
-
geesh! sounds like I need to catch up on "Lost"... boy, do I feel left out! :-[
-
Phyl, I do not know how you catch up on "Lost". You would probably have to buy the series and start at the beginning. It's the most convoluted, crazy plot line.
You would, literally be lost, for sure. But I gotta give the show credit for trying to be different.
Sue, lost in Vancouver
-
Tonight's episode just finished!
Phyl,
They do rent the Lost season's at Blockbusters etc...In a way, it is nice because there are no commercials.
That being said, I agree, that starting at the beginning would probably be best to understand the plot. I understand the season finale will be May 29 and be two hours. They are making an extra episode..inspite of the delay related to the strike.
Kate
-
Okay, am I going to be the only one who doesn't watch Lost ???
Sounds like you guys have converted Phyl ;D
Jan
-
Jan~
I don't watch either -- I don't have time. I wanted to start watxching 24 and loaded some episodes on my ipod. I really like it, but just don't have time...guess I'll watch some tomorrow!! Dave & I also started watching Numb3rs when in Baltimore (I went to Blockbuster & found something that was 1st season for us to take) -- we REALLY like it, but haven't watched it since we have been home! :o(
I'll be Lost-less w/ you!!

Well, I watch too much TV and always have. I've tried to pick and choose lately. I tend to like the shows that are a bit different, like Lost. I watched New Amsterdam and liked it. I got my husband hooked on 24 and he loves Prison Break. We like House. I loved Eli Stone. Some of these have a bit of "fantasy, Sci-Fi, mystical, off beat" quality that I enjoy, I guess LIke Heroes. And Chuck. I thought Chuck was hilarious. I know..I know. I"m embarrassed sometimes that I'm a big television fan, but there are worse things I guess. But I do read also and I do my genealogy and I take care of my family...so I'm not a total write-off! HA
So, if they ever decide that TV causes acoustic neuroma, then that will explain ALOT.
Okay, enough of THAT. I'll return you now to your regular programming.
Sue in Vancouver
-
.... Some of these have a bit of "fantasy, Sci-Fi, mystical, off beat" quality that I enjoy....
Did someone way SciFi "Ghost Hunters"? OMG, we are HOOKED around here, so much so, the bloke purchased all 4 seasons on DVD and now I'm caught up.... the episode in Salem, MA is dear to me... the restaurant they investigated is actually owned by my dear friend's father and I spend much time there.... original building where Alexander G. Bell did his famous first long distance phone call and original homestead to one of the first accused "witches" of Salem. I think there are some other "hidden" fans here as well.... I know of one, in particular, on the "worst" coast who's son is as hooked as we are! ;) You know who you are........ :-*
Lost... you all want me to get "Lost"..... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... how should I take that? ;) Lordy have mercy on me... how am I going to watch it and get caught up on it if I'm always here, harrassing you all? I can multi task with the best of them, but geesh!......
Phyl
-
One of my step-mom's direct ancestors was Susanna North Martin, who was one of the "witches" tried and executed in Salem. My step-mom loved the TV show Bewitched, and I used to tease her about being my "mean wicked step-mother". She isn't of course. Then, I find out about her ancestor, and I said, "SEE! I told you so!" Her family tree is very cool. Very early New England families. Not the Mayflower, but the boat after that! :)
Sue in Vancouvr
-
So here is the island where all you wenches and pirates hide out! We French have an affection for piracy AND cruiseship love. My...what a long thread!
I waited and waited for them to explain the polar bear siting on LOST, and having never been offered an explanation for that and other things, I lost interest.
Hey, I read that some people tried as witches were those that had survived the Black Death. This brought suspician apparently. Ancestors from those people are also immune to AIDS.
-
Yvette, do you mean the descendants of the people who survived the Black Death are immune to AIDS? Interesting, but how would you know if your ancestor ever had Bubonic Plague and survived? Just curious?!
Sue in Vancouver
-
That's a good question, Sue, I think I'll ask my father-in-law. Huge history buff and has traced his family back to the early 1600's. Hmmm wonder if he would admit to pirates in the family tree???
Brenda
-
Brendalu, a family tree is much more interesting if ya got a scallywag or two up in the tree tops. The blue blood thing is nice, but it's the horse thieves, the pirates, the accused witch, and folks of that ilk that make for interesting reading. I've got all kinds of people hanging about in my family tree. That's been a wonderful hobby for me and you learn a lot about history and about migration and about the Scotch-Irish, or the German migration, or the early Dutch colonization of New York That's one reason why I wanted to watch the TV show, New Amsterdam. My 11th great grandfather was Cesare Pietro Alberti, who was the first Italian immigrant to the New World and was killed by the Indians on Long Island in 1655. When he lived there it was New Amsterdam.
No evidence exists to know if any of my ancestors had the accursed AN or not! ;) As far as I know, I'm the one and only! ;D or maybe it should be >:(
It's a hobby I highly recommend, if you like that sort of thing. It's your own personal mystery just waiting for you. And it's easier than you think. TONS of stuff on line.
Sue in Vancouver
-
Sue,
I'm sure my family has their fair share and I have been working on my family tree for a long time. Pretty interesting stuff. I intend to be the tart on our tree! ::) I'm not nearly as far as you are, but I am plugging along. I once had a boss who was a direct decendant of Captain Kidd.
Brendalu

196 visits to go.
Then it's party time aboard the good ship PBW. Rum, (i'm quite partial to souther comfort myself) for all.
Now, lets get back to the newest adventure.
As the good ship PBW sets sail for Jamaica (said with a Bob marley accent, slightly interrupted with another draw of the "weed"), the cursed crusie director has decided that the crew needs something to do during the cruise otherwise, they might start plunderin each others' treasures. A game she says, now young Phyl wouldn't hurt a fly so has come up with "reach for the tie".
That sounds a bit sissy yelss Captain Deb. Ok, then draw the plank instructs the cursed cruise director. the plank is stretched out over the rough seas and when you look down, them AN Sharks be waitin' (Hospitals with invoices!). The tie is then hung from the sail over the end of the plank.
The idea of this 'sissy" game, acccording to Phyl is to walk to the end of the plank and jump up and catch the tie. Sounds easy, but the tie is 1 metre above outstrectched hands. The captain reckons its easy so has volunteered herself claiming new found powers after all those funny coloured pills she's been taking.
the captain takes the first jump and falls short of grabbing the tie but bounces back onto the plank - a trial run she says. the next jump is higher, still short of the tie but comes down a bit awkwardly and wobbles on the plank.
"Right, this is war" .
The captain, without her wings, jumps as high as she can, grabs the tie but then is put off balance by a gust of wind (external forces here), hits the pllank and has verry wobbly knees, 9wobbly, not nobbly), starts swaying on the plank, to and fro, to and fro.
Stay tuned when we find out if the captain lands safely on the plank or slips and is supper for the circling sharks.
Laz
-
Ah the ship is sailing and we're walkin the plank for fun? I wonder what we do for punishment? I'd have to have a lot of scotch under my belt for that one!!
I'm bettin on the Capt to stay sure footed all the way and grab the prize to boot. Colored funny pills or not..........
Is the Sadie St John our macot for this trip?
Wench Brendalu
-
So's, I gotta stand on the PBW with the ship sloshing back and forth, and watch the Cap't bouncing up and down on a plank trying to grab a tie, which is fluttering in the breeze? Gulp, me lunch is about to make a come-back appearance!
*shuts eyes and hangs on to the mast for dear life*
Seasick Sue in Vancouver, USA

I'm still dizzy thinkin about that walkin the plank and jumping to grap something! WHew, where do you dream up these ideas??? The visual is priceless................
Brendalu

*continues to dangle the tie over the plank to see who can get it!* ;D
-
btw, I nominate MaryBKAriz for on-board official Journalist/News commentator, for accurate reporting she did in this thread re: the recent ANA Support Group meeting she attended:
http://anausa.org/forum/index.php?topic=6347.0
Accurate, full of facts, precise, easy to follow... and not a hint of Jay-Z and Beyonce's wedding update nor Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan.
all in favor, say "Aye"!
Signed,
the always cursed, cruise director
-
"Aye" - although I have to come clean and say that now that Britney's not acting strange anymore, Nicole and JLo have had their babies, and Lindsay is out of rehab (for the moment) things are a little duller than they were. I kind of miss all the "excitement" ;)
Guess I'll have to check out this thread more often,

Jan~
Are you a People junkie too?? I am SO bad...but now I get the info a little late as my neighbor gives me her old issues - -not long after they are out though -- b/c I am a cheapie and cancelled my subscription!!

"Aye" -- but by golly, I have been asking for a job for weeks now -- do I have to beg???????????????

Phyl~
"Aye" -- but by golly, I have been asking for a job for weeks now -- do I have to beg???????????????

Hmmmmmmmmmm.... well, lemme see.... *giggles* .... Ok, how about this? You have a massive love for 3 curly girlies... so, how about you being on-board daycare/nursery Wench! Keep all future-aged scallywags and wenches in line, teaching them the proper ways to be a twue pirate? :) Whatta think?
(where the heck is Captn Deb!?!?!?! She needs to assign the jobs around this ship!)
Ok, all in favor of MaryBKAriz as official on-board roving news reporter, say "Aye"
All in favor of K to be Daycare/Nursery Wench to teach all future pirates the true ways of the seafearing life.... say "Double Aye"
oy.
*plunks head on keyboard*
ow!
I knew I was the cursed, cruise director.......... ::)
-
Oh Phyl, :o Thank you, thank you!
I am soooooo honored!!! I had to go back to page one of this thread......wow 2006! I do understand now about on-board Journalist/Commentator. What a FUN group this is. Okay, I'm on-board, have my steno pad and microphone.....Kay, you can do one while I do the other and take turns! Now off to work.....
April 23rd, on the high seas we have 85 staggering passengers donning various styles and colors of their formal velcro vests. As cameras flash we see all the weebles staggering down the red carpet to the ANnual ANnie Awards. It is the highlight of the year! Lindsay Lohan just arrived and is walking tin a straight line. It appears as if...gasp....she is under the influence. No one else on board has managed to walk this well with these high waves! There is no other explanation other than...gasp...she needs to go to rehab again! Instead of a Velcro vest she is wearing her gray hoodie. Yep, all the signs are there. She is heading this way "hey Lindsey....are you struggling with your demons again?????" She rolls back her eyes and snorts.
Next down the aisle is George Clooney, I don't even notice WHAT he is wearing or how he is walking. OOOPs I may not be doing my job too well here. I am star struck.... I am hyperventilating, what am I wearing???? That is the last moment I remember. I awaken to doggie breath, and 2 wagging tails and 4 big brown eyes. Sigh, I am home. I am not on high seas like I dreamed. It still feels like it, though. Is the nomination true??? Too good to be true, Just like George Clooney!
You all are the best.
HUGGGGGGGLLLLES
Mary

Double-AYE on K's nomination :)
And I think Mary is off to a great start - her reporting is even better than People!
To answer your question K, I was a loyal People subscriber for years until I had my kids - then my reading time was seriously compromised! Taking care of twins and working a full-time job outside the house almost did me in ::) Now that I have a little more time, I refuse to pay the outrageous subscription price, even though I've been offered a "reduced" rate (yeah, right!) So, I just read what I can for free on their website ;)
Jan
-
Aye Aye on Kay's nomination as well as ANnie Award for Mother of the year! Here she comes down the red carpet.....I am drowned out by enthusiastic cheering! (Excuse pun)
Mary
-
Double aye here!
One question though, did ya read all the way through from page one to the present? If not, take the time because it is quite the read.
Should be on Oprah's Book Club!
Brendalu
-
I re-read last night... oh, what mischief makers some of us are.... *giggles*
-
Well, now, this is all well and good and I totally agree with the nomination of our new roving reporter. Maybe that way, somebody, will be able to tell us all what is going on around here. But, more importantly, and a more immediate concern, at least for me is.....does anyone have any dramamine?
Somebody stop the Cap't from jumping up and down! Where's the dog? Get the dog to grab that darn flappin' tie!
Cheer,
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
*runs to ship sick bay and doc, onebadass350 -- had to go back to pg 4 for that one to remember who is our ship Doc --, grabs Dramamine, runs back up on deck and decides to play "Dramamine Disc Toss", pitching pills to Sue*
-
I started the re-read last night too! So much fun those pages are!! I hope our 100,000 view leaves a sotry to be remembered for years to come!!
Brenda
-
*it takes half a dozen tries, but Sue finally catches one of the pills. *
THANKS! Whew, that was a close one. Maybe lunch will stay where it's at now. Of course, the doggy thought this was a great game and I had to keep her from getting the pills! She thought that was even MORE fun, and now I'm covered in dog slobber and she thinks I'm her chew toy. Help, Cap't Deb! Your pup is running amuck on board ship! I do like her little eye patch, however. Nice touch. ;)
Sue in Vancouver USA
PS I had to get on page 162. That was my employee number when I worked at Penney's. SC162. I wrote that a zillion times in my 5 years there, so I suppose I shan't ever forget that combination. Maybe I'll have it put on my tombstone....Here lies SC162 - wife, mother, employee, and crew member of the PBW! Boy, that would get people to wonder about that, don'tcha think??? ;D
-
Sounds like a great epitath to me! Did I spell that write! Mine is going to read"Here Lies a Tart" I would have been a great pirate back in the day!!
Brenda
-
OK...I have thought and thought about the daycare thing. I do LOVE kids -- especially mine, but I want to have some fun too. How about if I be IN CHARGE of and the OVERSEER of Children's Activities and then I can have some fun too while someone else is carrying out my orders with the little scallywags? Sound good???
K ;D
-
Aye, Aye Kay...sounds like a jolly good idea! Or as my grandson says, "that's a GREAT idea!" Oh how I love that enthusiasm!!
Mary

Oy VEY! (http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/panda22.gif)I landed on my tuchus on the bloody bouncy plank and bounced my sorry old arse all the way over to Exile Island! While I was there I ran into me cutie pie Sawyer and he and I hunted for the hidden Imitrex Idol (please don't rat me out to Dr Love!) and played hopscotch on the beach. I hope you all have bin feedin me Sadie and me Dr Love whilst I been gone and have not drunk all the rum and smoked all the (fffftttt) you-know-what, mon!

.......BREAKING NEWS......BREAKING NEWS
This is your Cruise Reporter/commentator, Dizzy Dame (Stage Name).
It has come to my attention on my pirated tube that CNN is covering Balance Issues on House Call with Sanjay Gupta. The segment on balance airs around 45 minutes after the hour. They usually repeat it through the weekend. I identified with their remarks. Sanjay Gupta is saved the plank this week.
This is Dizzy Dame reporting from the swabbed decks................
-
Hi Capt Deb,
This Yardtick reporting in from Ont. My hubby Dr Louie works at a hospital and he hijacked a ship of Imitrex off the Lake Ont for you. Now remember that cutie pie Sawyer is to be treated with care.......he's pretty special. How do I tell you this my Capt, but I too have been suffer' with blasted headaches and the one I have today is a doozie. I'm thinking about rolling back into bed.....by myself that is. I'm off work on sick leave until further notice. Is there anymore room in the sick bay Capt? I cannot swab any decks today.
Anne Marie
-
Anne Marie,
I'll swab the decks for ya! You take care of that blasted headache and don't roll outta bed!
Mary

I snapped this pic of Sawyer on Exile Island as we parted (sob, sob) Til we meet again, my sweet, til we meet again!

Yikes! Capt Deb! I might just have to reconsider fighting Lori for Johnny Depp!
Jan
-
Thanks Mary, I owe you a bottle of rum!
Now I'm off to bed, please don't rock the boat or I might puke! OMG, I felt your kisses on my forehead and thanks for fluffing my pillows. Wish I could do it for you. On our next cruise right Capt Deb? Okay Mary keep an eye on that gorgeous Sawyer for me. What I picture Capt! Maybe if I just stare at him for an hour or so my headache might just get "LOST" forever.........
Anne Marie

Thanks for sharin the picture od Sawyer, Capt Deb, it quickened my heart beat and I needed that!

Aye Capt'n! Have taken notice of the Sawyer Scallywag... and will now ignore Bloke for a few minutes while I drool...er.... wipe dew from forehead...er..... watch the Sawyer man to make sure he doesn't go anywhere! ;D

Ahoy shipmates!
We are almost to 100,000 views and I have been reading backwards for ages. Sorry I joined late so didn't help much through hurricanes, shipmatey selection, and rum swigging. What a read for the high seas! This should be the next book in the ANA bookclub!
I am proud to say this wench is now in full time member status...woooo hoooooo.......100 + posts and SOOOOOOO happy this Dizzy Dame climbed aboard!
Mary
-
Okay, is it just me, or did Sawyer somehow start wearing a shirt ???
I could swear that the first two or three times I viewed him he was bare chested.
Were my eyes just playing tricks on me? Was it just wishful thinking? LOL
Did Phyl censor this?
. . . or do you think the rum and the hot sun are finally getting to my brain? ::)
Jan
-
Okay, fifty more views to go. I'm hoping everyone who reads, leaves a line or two. What a story, what a crew!
Maybe we should invite Sawyer aboard? There would be mutiny on bounty!!
Mary, congrats on your 100! They seem to fly by after that one!
Brendalu
-
Congrats Mary, you full on Hero!!!!! :)
No, I didn't censor a thing.... trust me, if I had, you either would have:
1. Got PM with hand slap
2. Noting of my edit at the bottom of the post (usually in italics)
3. Crack of the bad posting whip from across the room
4. heard it go *poof* (even with SSD, you woulda heard it!)
5. JoeF and I giggling in the backround (again, SSD, you woulda heard it)
6. Me posting a riddle about "where the heck did the original post go?"
7. Withholding the popcorn and sofa from you all
8. Me *shaking my head in confusion* action
9. All of the above
Geesh!

How about a few words on McDreamy???
Debbi (with her own hottie husband!)
-
NO, NO, NO!!!
McDreamy is Okay....................but MCSTEAMY is a totally different story my friend. He has piratute.
I don't know I just like the bad boys for some reason!!!! ;D
Hey Capt Deb while you are sailing around if you happen to come across MCSTEAMY see what you can do!
Where's my my husband when I need him........oh yeah at work like all goood husbands should be............a scallywag can dream...........
-
Ok, I'll add to the grand total here, with my question about Lost... Never watched it, except a few clips here and there.
So, my question is... how long have they actually been "lost"? I'm guessing it's more than 39 days, right? So, why is it, that after 39 days on an island, the people on "Survivor" look like stick figures with a thin layer of skin over them and that guy on lost with the long, dark hair looks like he's been eating 100 Big Macs 6 times a day? Shouldn't he be a little slimmer by now?
And I'll definitely vote for McDreamy. I usually go for the nerdy ones anyway. However, in a pinch, I suppose I could "settle" for McSteamy.....
You can drop me off on a nice, sunny island with either of them...
Lori

99974 and counting.... hmmmmmmmm..... :)

Take a couple a days off and we got some new crew wenches, a Captain with a busted tuchus (ouch), a creche, papparazi, and a drug dispensary.
geesh!
MMM, must think of a voyage to celebrate our pending 100,000 views.
Laz
p.s - double aye's on the new jobs. - they gotsto pass the initiation test first - stay tuned for the details!

How about a cruise to the International Date Line????? Then we all can go around the Pacific afterwards. Of course PIRATING as we go.

-
Anne Marie are you a deck swabbie to? I was just going to talk to everyone on the ship as I need to go on sick leave also. So here goes all yee scallywags I was a wondering if I could be the ships pharmacist since I have so many pills here at home that I hate to just throw away and we could use them on our lovely ship. Sue I have some compazine, phenergan and a trans derm scope patch (sea sickness patch) that you only have to change every 3 days. All medications are free to shipmates and of course we will check with the ships Dr before dispensing prescription medication to you all. Or in a pinch we could trade some for some chocolate and rum. ;) What do you say. I'll wait patiently for about 2 hours and then I will take my new position without approval from everyone. :D 16

The Good Ship PBW sets sail for Hawaii, well left a bit, 20 degrees to be precise, to get to the international dateline in time for the 100,000th visitor to the Good Morning thread.
This is a rather difficult journey to make after the captain successfully grabbed the tie off perched precariously over a school of parrot eating sharks. the downside, is that the Captain has no downside. It's been flattenned after bouncing repeatedly off the plank and trying to bounce over to see Sawyer.
Ye young captain is now in the infermery, being seen to by the drunken doctor (all pirate ship dopctors are drunk) come to think of it, my surgeon could have been drunk at the time too!) ooooh, too much politics.
As the PBW sets sail at a rapid pace, the newbie wenches are about to tackle their initiation tests to become fully fledged wenches of the PBW. This is no mean feat. Our cursed cruise director makes sure that the blindfolds are on. Now can't remember who hasn't passed the test so if you haven't, consider yourself blindfolded.
The test is - mmmm, what should the test be????
Stay tuned when we find out, which wench will succumb to the initiation test and be thrown overboard. Will the 100,00th viewer survive the fame and lack of fortune that bestows that honour?
Laz
-
Laz I will be right over to take care of our Capt pharmaceutical needs. This will surely help her backside heal nicely or at least she will not remember how long it took. 16

guess who got the 100,000th view?

ME! Me! Me! 8)
*giggles*

darn it I did not know we were that close and I did not check. So since I'm medicated and would have otherwise posted 2 msgs can I share with you? Do I have to pull out the I'm so very sick and no one cares I will just go eat worms. (LOL ;) ) Has it worked yet do you feel oh so sorry for poor little old me? I'm sure there is a great prize that goes with this...right? OK now I am just annoying myself. It would have been nice though. Forehead kisses to you for you honestly won. :-* 16

April 27th, 2008, the good ship PBW crosses the International dateline as the 100,000 hit for this thread was viewed by our very own cruise director......PHYL!!!!!! The entire crew is cheering and staggering in celebration. The thread "GOOD MORNING..." heads for 200,000 views now as the PBWcomes about to set sail for the next port in Hawaii. In the mean time the scallywags and wenches will pass time pilfering, rum chugging and in the evening in the Brainbooger Theatre enjoying their favorite pass times - comparing MRI's on the big screen. Wait the WWII hit "Booger Wooger Tumor Mass of Cranium B" is being played in the distance. Why are they playing that oldie???? Oh who cares, as we stagger around the deck celebrating the great moment with Phyl.
Reporting from the deck of the PBW is your reporter, Dizzy Dame
-
Where is my cameraman??? I need one......gotta get pictures of OMG eating worms! Fear Factor on the high seas! This could make the Enquirer! Someone quick, Help OMG, a favorite and beloved crew member!!!!!! SOS SOS SOS Hang in there OMG!!!! Life saver is on the way........
-
Satman is a camera man and maybe he would like to have the title and join the crazy crew that we are.
I am not sure if I want this caught on tape so I am grabbing my worms and running as fast as I can back to the Pharmacy dept.
Ha you will never catch me now. ;D Your new Director of Medication. 16
-
Wow, we made it! That was fast. I wasn't checking either! Congrats Phyl on hitting it out of the ball park. Wow, again.
It's the dawn of a new era (or is it ear-a?) for the PBW crew. A goal has been reached and now a new one is on the far horizon. Avast me hearties, hoist the mainsail and stuff like that and off we go into the wild blue yonder.
Mixed metaphors aside, this is a proud moment for this here crew. Let's hear it for our good Cap't Deb! Hip, hip, hooray!
We are led by one brave captain,
From sea to shining sea,
She takes us on adventures,
While laughing with great glee.
She's crazy as a hoot owl,
We know that to be true,
But we wouldn't have another,
No, not me! Would you?
This ship can get a rolling,
And rocking on high seas,
We live the life of pirates,
Hey, pass the rum, please.
Deb and Laz and Pearlie Girl,
They are the heart of us,
Leading with courage and wit,
May it ever more be thus.....
Love to all the crew,
Sue in Vancouver, USA

Congratulations, Phyl.
You should get something from this non-paying job - in addition to our undying gratitude ;D
I can't wait to see what you've won! Hmm, Laz said a bikini. I can't wait to see what he has in store for you.

bikini? at MY weight!?!?! :o
*falls off office chair, laughing so hard my side hurts*
Lordy have mercy, I haven't worn one since I was 12 yrs old!
*ROFL*

bikini? at MY weight!?!?! :o
Wait! You obviously haven't heard, due to a wonderful post from Dan in Germany, we are now measuring our weight in kilos! So, you probably don't weigh as much as you think ;D

Congratulations to the good ship battiewench on making 100,000 views. One ship out of 100,000. Hey we already know those odds. ;)
The crew has rolled out special grog barrels and is cranking up the Parrothead tunes. 100, 000 tiny twinkling lights have been put out along the ship's rigging. As it sails toward its next adventure it looks like it's own small galaxy out on the sea at night.
Regards,
Rob

Yea! Parrothead tunes ;D
My good ear thanks you!
-
Hey, Phyl....dontcha remember, this is a VIRTUAL CRUISE....It's cyberspace, dude...we can be any weight, any look we wanna be! We can wear the itsy, bitsy, yellow polka dot bikinis if we wanna. If we can't wear it here, I mean, where can we wear it...hmmmmmm??
Like everything else we have to deal with...babes, it's all in the head! ;) ;D

AAAAAAARRRRRRRR 100,000!
Great Sea Shanty, me Poet Lorry-ate!
Got me 'kini on! Yikes! Will someone please pass the flippin' WAX! Jeez that's nasty! I'm gonna need a machete for the legs, too. It's been a long winter. What can I say. Sawyer likes his women au naturale.
By the way on Lost, they found a huge stash of food in the hatch. That's how he stays so buff! Here's the shirtless pic which I edited. I hope the ANA don't mind us pushing the envelope.

Oh Gosh,
My ticker is a ticking binki and all!! I couldn't say bikini when I was very young! LOL AARR, in a shirt or not he is fine specimen of male flesh and attitude to boot 8)
Hey Capt how's your knoggin..........mine is still killing me. On this cruise no one will have a headache or suffer a hangover from all the beverage we chose to consume. I don't mind being part of the kitchen staff. I'm quite talented and one of my great thrills is watching peoples faces when they eat a meal I have prepared.
AAAARRRR, how do think I snatched my hubby, the quickest way of course to man's heart is thru his stomach. Maybe if I didn't cook so well he would still have a tummy like Sawyer...........AAARRR
Thanks again for the pictures, mighty lovley indeed ;D

Okay, Newbie question alert... I've been following the banter in this thread for a couple of weeks and thoroughly enjoy it, but I haven't been able to figure out what "PBW" stands for. So, can someone enlighten a newbie on this?
Poo-scallywag-ter... :D
-
hey listen 'ere ya scurvy ridden scoundrel. ye can't be callin yerself a scally yet wif out da Captain parrot's ok. The winged captain has key criteria in her scallys so best ye be 'earin from 'er first.
BTW, PBW is short for "the goode ship Princess Batty Wench" proudly named after one of our fellow AN'ers whose username is Princess Batty. Captain deb, who is the numero uno sea farin, plunderin Captain of the high seas (with a fetish for Sawyer, chocolate and Dr Luuuurrrrrve) duly named our rust bucket, whoops, fine sailin' ship accordingly.
Now, before ye can be considered by the Captain to becomes an apprentice scally, ye must read this thread from the beginning - great for insomniacs.
Laz
Chronologer of this fine ru... ah, ship

*thinks back to over 2 yrs ago.... with banter between matti and the battywench and myself and static and wind6 ( :-*) and thecakes had NO clue what she was getting herself into when she started this thread, just to say "good morning, have a good day" to the scurvy lot of us and the hard-fought battle to keep this thread from going bye-bye!*
Well, I haven't been a size 2 since I was 8 yrs old, but I got me the (ok, 1/2 natural) long blonde hair........
pooter.... read pages 1-4 of this thread... you will see how pink and lame velcro life jackets, naming of our faire ship and dining room dinner menus and how we went from one Capt'n to another came to play on this rustbucket...er..... vessel. :) There are a few of us to blame...
Ya know, folks, I don't censor everything... I just watch like a hawk... there's others around here that watch, too, ya know! Don't go blaming me for kicking your fine derriere's if you get outta line! Geesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*walks off mumblin under breath, making sure no one hears what is being said......* ;D
Signed,
Yes, the one... the only, the original... cursed cruise director!

* the little scallywags are loose...the little scallywags are loose...*

Pooter -
you are lucky that they told you what PBW stands for! When I was a newbie, no one would tell me. I had to read it for myself :P
It's a great tale to read when you can't sleep at night - it may take a few nights, though.
And K, shame on you for sneaking a peek at Sawyer LOL Don't you know he's already taken? ;D
Jan
-
I still enjoy reading it from time to time... esp. the first part for when this all came about. I think it was just before my CK treatment and I needed the stress relief of going into treatment... lordy have mercy on us that stirred the pot on this one.

16 comes running through the party chasing K's littlest scallywags because they indeed are creating quite the mutiny. They took the jewel incrusted feather duster and knocked me silly. Broke into the locked medicinal medication cabinet that I have the most valued of all of our medicine and took the whole stock and ran. Yes they did they took the medicinal quality chocolate and indeed the strongest of all chocolate the world has seen. This is what I used to cure Capt Deb so fast.
Stop you rotten scoundrals.....stop.....someone stop them before its all gone. K please get you young uns under control. I'm going to lose my medication director job before I even get into the grove of it.
I'm afraid and sad to report all of it is gone. With tears in my eyes I tell all me shipmates I will be leaving the ship to go replenish our supply of medicinal chocolate from the most remote areas of the world. This is a dangerous job but I feel I must go considering I was in charge at the time of the incident. 16 hangs up her nice crisp white lab coat covered in melted chocolate and little hand prints. She must also hang up her most valued possesion until her return this of course would be her bedazzled pen on a rope.
As I row off in the ships dingy hanging my head so ashamed of my performance for the first week on the job. I yell I will be back. I will vindicate myself but who am I fooling I may never make it back. I've heard the stories of the people who have gone before me and most have never been seen again.
:'( 16

Okay, so I started reading the thread before I posted the question. And, I saw PrincessBatty and thought there was a connection there. But, to my way of thinking that was PB and the name of the ship is PB(W). So, I guess I didn't read far enough.
Capt. Deb: Aye Capt Ma'am. Official PBW Breeze Conjurer reporting for duty! Might I suggest on those days that ye expect a brisk breeze that we adjust the menu a bit? I hail from south Texas, so frijoles a la charra tend to do the trick with great flavor to boot! I'm sure there are other suggestions for a menu change depending on our needs for thar winds. Proud to be aboard and willin' to chip in where needed and go for the gust-o, as it were. ;)
Pooter...
*mumbles under his breath "I'm just glad she didn't assign me to changin' soiled sheets" then runs and hides from phyl for fear of being smited* :D
-
16!!!!!!!!!! 16!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need you. Please find a dinghy and row row row your boat back to us. Pooter, please help! No bean requests so 16 can catch us.
Good day, mateys,
Mary
-
So Pooter, you got a week before the Mack truck runs over you so you better read fast! The W part will come in time, right, Wenches? The frijoles sound great--I luuuuurves Tex-Mex and Cali-Mex. Whilst I was laid up at HEI, Dr Love went in search of something other than hospital food for me to slurp down and found some great Mex in the neighborhood.
A'readin' this thread should take yer mind off your upcoming brainboogerectomy and addin' to it will give you some playtime post-op as well. Sure has helped alot of folks heal their funnybones!
We loves ya, Pooter!
16! Better take a compass wiv ya so's ya don't get lost! Lemmeesee who was the ship's navigator?
There she goes......off in the dinghy!

Hey Captain ye in need of a camera op when ye make the scallywags walk the plank ?
-
That's right Cap't Deb....humor is therapy of the highest order and very important for the healing process and general well being for all human beings, and probably some other species too. That being said, I'd like to take a moment to toot my own horn and re-run one of my own personal favorite poems/song (ya gotta make up your own tune!) that is buried deep on this thread. This is dedicated to all of the newbies, who appreciate Pirate humor and haven't been up to reading the whole darn thing.
The Scene: This takes place on the Lido deck of the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench. The full moon is rising, big and fat and yellow in the summer night. The breezes are soft, but enough to fill out the sails and, even the half-deaf can hear the gentle flapping of the lines and the sometimes gentle squawking of our parrot (ummm, did we ever name that parrot, by the way?). Someone (was it Laz?)is playing a mournful tune on his beat-up old squeezebox. The stars are filling the sky with twinkling light. The full moon hasn't yet dampened their considerable beauty. A few lanterns are lit, their soft glow filling in some of the dark corners with warmth. But, even in this perfect night and perfect setting, things just weren't right. Some of the crew had heard, in the port o'call we'd just left, that Pirates just weren't taking all of this cursed medical stuff Seriously. Just too much frivolity and bantering about, and that just wasn't Proper. Humor as a common bond, a source of pleasure, a way to diffuse some of the stress of life-changing events hadn't been taken into account and the crew was bummed out, as it were. They are passing around the grog, muttering and grumbling, the beauty of the summer night being forgotten as the wenches and scallywags began to sink into their own little island of despair. And the PBW will never drop anchor at that island. Wench Sue looks around at her crew mates, a tear in her eye, and decides that This Won't Do!. She gets up and stands before her down-trodden crew mates. She says bravely, "Okay, you mangy, flea-bitten dogs of the seven seas, listen up!**
And....action!
*Lights dim, spotlight shines on Sue. Someone from stage right throws her a top hat and cane*
So what good’s a tumor
If ya can’t use some humor,
To get ya through the day or the night?
We use a little laughter
A smile is what we’re after,
To make everything seem all right.
We have a cyber Pirate Ship
And in her we can take a trip,
And visit every beach and cove in sight.
Our crew is just the keenest,
Our Captain is the meanest
To cross her brings a hell of a fight.
So what good’s a tumor
If ya can’t use some humor
And sing silly songs such as this?
I’ll tell ya what we’d do…
We’d just sit and stew…
And think of all the fun we would miss.
Everybody!! *Wenches and scallywags join Sue for final chorus*
So what good’s a tumor
If ya can’t use some humor,
Ta get you through the day or the night?
We use a little laughter
A smile is what we’re after,
To make everythiiiiinng seeeeeeem all riiiiiiiiiiiight!
**And if it didn't happen quite like that, it sure should have!! ;) ;D

I think Sue should be the official entertainment at the symposium.... We can charge admission to make money to cover our bar tabs and our cab rides to the Oprah show.
Hey, maybe she could even perform on Oprah! ;D

Capt Deb -
thanks for the very amusing posts about Pooter!

although it will feel like a Mac truck ran over you, trust me, you'll be fine :)
and Lori -
yet another money-making idea! We definitely have to go into business! I'm ready to retire at an early age ;)
Jan
-
Thank you everyone for the kind words. I thought I'd dust that one off, since it sort of fit into what was being discussed and I wrote that one a year and a half ago so there is a whole new audience to share this one with. HOWEVER, I will not nor will I ever SING on Oprah! Wow, that'd be the end of her career in 30 seconds flat! Wish I could. In another life, I'm a song and dance gal. Not this one, sorry to say. However, on the Princess Batty Wench, Sue can sing like Lily Langtry! I don't know what she sounded like, 'cause I'm not THAT old, but I bet that girl could sing! ;D
And thanks, Pooter, for the encouraging words on my "creative writing". It's fun.
You know, I thought of a great kids book the other day. Well, at the time, it seemed "great"! ;) I was watching Diego, the dog we are dog-sitting for our son during the day, looking out the window at the birds and squirrels and I said, " Looking out the window and what do I see, but a big, red robin looking back at me." Or words to that effect. I had all sorts of things going through my head and I thought...wow this would be a neat kids book. Probably been done before...but you know...interesting stuff in your own backyard kind of thing. So, then I thought I'd write this down, a day or two later. Do you THINK I could remember all the cutesy rhymes I had going on that day. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Faded away into the grey matter of my aging, AN affected, addled brain! ??? Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!! I was so mad. Maybe it'll come back to me and I'll be sure to write it down right away. Then, Deb - you can draw the illustrations! I mean I had a great thing going there, until I forgot it all! I even had a cute ending, but I do remember that one. So, say Deb does the drawings, okay? "This book was made especially for YOU, it was drawn by Deb and written by Sue!". ;D ;D
I'm alone a lot...I amuse myself, what can I say. ::)

"Ahoy ye matey's" yells the captain, "we are sailin these seas in search of other ships to plunder and attack but fist, we needs ta know who all the new scallys and wenches be so i can officially designate who walks the plank first.
The list now is.

Laz, removes rust and arthritis from fingers, and, lines the keyboard up, is ready to pounce, yes, he has his middle fingers poised, raises his hand, is about to hit a key, oh no, he changes his moid. Wait, another moment of inspiration, laz conjurs up the courage, the fingers are ready yet again......... minutes elapse....... then, oh dear , he has picked up the phone instead.
Call those men in white coats!
laz
p.s - for the newbies, I quite often call on the men in white coats for both myself and our dear Captain - a couple of real loonies - well, the Captain is anyway!!!!! (laz ducks for cover as the bird swoops to drop its bundle on the poor chronologer)
Stay tuned

Now, Laz....we've been waiting on you to come outta retirement to keep on writing our adventure... so, crack your typing knuckles, hun! :-*

Cruise Bartender - Static
Slacker - Lori Oh Lori, you don't want to be the ship slacker do you? There must be somethin else you can do. You can always help clean up after the Parrot and the Puppy. Call it Ship's Veterinarian, then it won't sound so bad! ;) ;D Or Keeper of the Chocolate, since Phyl mentioned that before I could get this on-line.
And a job for OMG16, too. Is she gonna come back! 16, where are you?
Anybody else? Gots to get this crew in order sos we can get this tub underway. Cap't did ya get your Cat o nine tails back from the cleaners? Can't forget that.
Now we wait for Laz. Remember, crew, our beloved Chronologer lives clean on the other side of the world, practically, from those of us in the US of A. Whilst we sleep, Laz will be conjuring us up a grand adventure. No pressure, Laz!
Sue in Vancouver

um, Sue... see your list noting 16 and drugs? ;)
Ok, we need an official ship's His-tor-iun. There are many here that hold jobs on their sea fearin' vessel that ain't noted (me thought like matti, gennysmom, battywench herself, and more). So, a twue "His-tor-iun" needs to read back through this wholeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee entireeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thread, jot down everyone's jobs, port o' calls, fights with sea monsters, how many times we have slathered Matthew in chocolate, how many times Capt'n has made anyone walk the plank..... the twue his-tory of this ship!
So, who's up for da job? I'll toss in a few extra gamblin' chips for BAHA Bingo Night (yeah, I changed the name.....) for the person with enough soul and energy to take on the task! Anyone want it?
Naw, Laz is goofing off at work again.... I'll put a barrel o' rum on that one! ;)

Actually, better do some work or i'll get into biiiiig trouble. Spies all around me must be a CIA plot or is it , is it, wait for it.....
nah couldn't be, yes it is, the good ship PBW has a spy on board.
Stay tuned, what does the CIA want with the good ship PBW? Where is Captain Deb (not under the deck with Dr Luurrrvvve), will we ever see 16 again? has 16 turned into 17? What is the CIA doing on board the good ship PBW, stay tuned.

pooter, if you get the chance, read the first 10 pgs of the thread (I know, I know....)
Okay, I read the first 11. How'd you go from using language like that back then to forum moderator? ;) And, on what page did you go from "Cruise Director" to "Cursed Cruise Director" ?
Also, reading back to the beginning, I think we're missing some people on the list (unless between pages 11 and 165 they relinquished their jobs):
matti: Head Chef
gennysmom: First Mate
Mark: purser
Kilroy: bartender
Interesting read, the first 11 pages. Perhaps I'll read the whole thread during at-home recovery time.

Pooter -
although it will feel like a Mac truck ran over you, trust me, you'll be fine :)
A MACK TRUCK?!?! Is that supposed to be comforting? I was under the impression it was gonna be an Excursion or a Hummer, but a Mack Truck? ;)
Seriously, reality starting to set in now that Debbi's surgery is over. It's not so much the surgery (the known), but the afterwards (the unknown). I'm not good at the whole helpless thing. ARGH!
Pooter...
-
um, Sue... see your list noting 16 and drugs? ;)
Ooops, that's what I get for cutting and pasting and not paying attention. That darn AN. That's the only good thing about having this is that we can blame everything on that now.
So, OMG16 is head drug czar, and missing in action? Hmmmmmm. And a spy may be on board. Ooooo, this one's going to be fun!
Okay, Laz, you write when you get your breaks, and I'm off to my little bed and dreamtime.
Laz, give us the address of your office and I'll look you up on Google Earth. Love the Google Earth. I was exploring Uruguay the other night. Lovely beaches in Uruguay.
Ta!

Pooter,
I am the official reader of the PBW. I stayed up one night (actually I couldn't sleep) and read from page one through page 104 in one sitting, so I was named official reader.
Wench, Brendalu
-
Yeah, sorry, Pooter -
have to be honest with you - it's just my nature :-[ - MACK truck it is.
But it's a fast Mack truck and it will pass soon. Trust me, you'll be fine.
BTW, how did Lori get to be comforter of the hotties! And she got keeper of the chocolate, too ???
There may be a sword fight very soon ;D
I'm definitely staying tuned to see if 16 turns into 17 - that sounds very exciting!!!
Jan

Sue,
Great song. The visuals of a bunch of tipsy ANers trying to dance a hat and cane number on a rolling deck made me laugh.
Rob
-
Thanks Rob. I would like to think that my "song and dance number" would have been worthy of a Carol Burnett skit on her show. I hope you all remember her. She's one of the best.
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Jan, sorry, but I may need the chocolate to help me comfort the hotties. Occupational hazard, I guess....oh, the sacrifices I make....
But, do I really have to clean up after the pets???? That's too much like what I do around the house everyday. Anyone see that commercial (I don't even know what it's for) where the lady says "My family is a bunch of animals. My kids are pigs (and little pigs walk by) and my husband is a...(and a donkey walks by...)" - That's my family.
I don't have a problem with being the official slacker. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it. Besides, I don't have many other marketable skills. And I thought you were supposed to relax on cruises anyway....

Sue, I agree your song would be a great skit on the Carol Brunett Show! I loved her and Red Skelton. They were class acts on TV. Can you imagine the two of them doing a pirate skit? Ahhh the memories.
Brendalu

Do you remember Lucille Ball when see played a pirate on one of her shows. Gosh what ever happened to TV?
So Capt Deb, we found out last night Sawyer is still on the island, so I take it you know where this island is. We have to rescue him ASAP!! SOON ;D
-
I remember. Lucille Ball was wonderful too. She was from a small town near the small town I am from. She was a local favorite all her life and still is. She did a lot for that area of the country. She is missed. I agree, whatever happened to TV?

Ok Laz I got your message and Matti Wench returning for duty. Took some time off from the year long PBW cruise. I cant believe I started back on Page 1 :o
I'd be glad to return to my duties as head chef and keeper of the dipping chocolates (for Matthew ;)) I'll share the chocolate duty with Lori if she doesn't mind. Matthew can be trouble at times.
Good to see our Poet lorryate back at her writing desk, she never ceases to amaze me with her poetry. Love ya Sue :)
And PLEASE, no more sea monsters this time around, that made for a very turbulent voyage!!!

So good to see you back, Cheryl!!

The good ship PBW sets sail with its crew, frothing at the mouth with the news that Captain Deb, fighting her way through the wicked triangle of headaches, s.x and rock’n’roll, oh, hang on a minute, two parts to the triangle isn’t bad. Anyway, the captain is on deck, almost all the crew has been counted, still have some missing in the chocolate vats from yestevoayages.
The orders have been given. Raise the anchor, hoist the sails and all that jazz. It’s plunderin we be at me mateys.
The good ship PBW is on route to the Bermuda triangle where the Captain has had word that there be some ships in distress. Eeeeaaaasy pickins I reckon, thinks the Captain.
Meanwhile, there is no word of 16, who many believe has turned 17. She has gone missin’ in action but the captain is being ruthless, we will sail on to those dangerous seas. Ready for any lootin and plunderin.
Stay tuned, will 16 and the girly whirly dhingy thingy turn up? Will there be easy pickins in the bernuda triangle? Or has the Captain pecked off more than she can squark.

my thingy dinghy is gone! :o
16! Hey! Almost 17! (why do I have visions of "The Sound of Music" in my head?)
Bring back my thingy dinghy!

Hi Cheryl! Welcome aboard....again.
Oh, I loved that song. I am 16 going on 17..... Very sweet. Hard to believe that girl is a grandmother now. Good grief.

Cheryl - sure I'll share the chocolate! We'll just have to make sure the official chocolate plunderers keep enough of it on board for us!
Lori

I probably am not a good pirate since my favorite movie is the Sound of Music!! My girlies LOVE it too and Addi is always singing "I am 16 going on 17..." actually I think she should maybe sing, "I am 10 going on 21..."
K

K -
you have returned!
Are you the one who stole Phyl's thingy dinghy?
Personally, I would have swiped the chocolate - but that's our little secret ;)
Jan

I'M BACK!!
Didn't take it -- if I would have known it was missing, I could have been looking for it today while I waited for the Dr. for over 1.5 hours and then a plane that was 3 hours late!!!!!!!!

Perhaps we should get the ship battle ready and go after them rotten dog killers Laz was telling us about on the other thread about the stolen Pug. That just chaps my hide, and I'd like to track down the dirty rotten scum and keel haul the lot of 'em. >:( >:(
Of course, maybe if we talk to Laz, he's already taken care of matters and he'll say,
"So I tanned their hides when they died, Clyde, and that's them hanging on the shed.." :o
All together now.....

*Pooter quietly sneaks out on to the deck of the PBW with Phyl's thingy dingy and jumps overboard with it and starts rowing towards land*
"I'm off to see a guy about a truck. His name be Mack. I'll be back. While there I'll look for 16..er.. 17.. and plunder some chcolate if possible. It's dangerous water out here, and may come back with a scar or two."
See you guys in Postie-land! I'm not sure how much I'll be on tonight. Staying in a hotel near the hospital so I don't have to wake up WAY early to get there by 6:30am. Look for updates! As soon as I'm able, I'll jump back on board myself.
Regards,

AAAAARRRRR Mateys, All aboard fer the Great Port of Houston in the far off Land o' Texas--we must heave to off shore and wait it out fer our mate, Pooter, whilst he has his brainbooger melonballed out by them Good Docs Vrabec and Trask at the crack o dawn! Give him a few days fer his eyeballs te refocus, and then we shoves a bottle o rum in his hand and slap his sorrry a$$ in a deck chair, and off we sails to some beautiful calm tropical seas fer his recooperation, I sez!

Strip him nekkid and git him a suntan, I sez! Cept fer the big ear bandage! Whaddaya say?????

Good luck Pooter and to Cepten Deb - I've ordered those men in white coats fer ya!
hey Sue, a bit of Rolf Harris in them there words huh!
On a more solem note, I think this crew should spare a moment of thought for the Burmese who have been devastated by that rotten cyclone. By the sounds of it, its worse than what hit New Orleans and that was as bad as you'd want it.

Ahhhhhhhhh, and while yur in the Port of Houston you can pick me up...................I am past ready for a cruise to some tropical place.
Prayers go out to the victums of the lastest disaster, they are going to need all of them as they put themselves back together again....

Yes, it's doubly sad when a catastrophe such as that hits a country who is ruled by idiots and are too prideful to accept help from the rest of the world. It's their own darn fault if they have no population or infrastructure left to support their country. Guess they don't think of that when they isolate themselves. Grrrrrrrrr. >:( :'( ???
And Laz, Tie Me Kangaroo Down, is one of my all time favorite "fun" songs. All them strange Aussie words were fun to say. :)
GOOD LUCK POOTER. Hope everything comes out all right! ;D Don't let Cap't Deb get too close, Pooter. She wants to strip ya nekkid and set you out to fry in the tropical sun! The tropical sun sounds pretty good to me about now. Our temperature today and tomorrow is within one degree of FAIRBANKS, ALASKA! Although "they" say that it might be 90 by the end of next week. Yikes. Too much, too fast. Don't like that. Makes me sickish when it's that hot with no break-in time. ya know?

For some reason this thingy-dinghy thing sounded familiar so I googled "dinghy song" and came up with this, although this isn't what I was thinking of. But, knowing some of you folks, you'll get a real kick out of this. I don't think I've heard this song, so I don't know what the tune is. You better go to the link, so's I don't get into trouble, although it's not that bad!
http://www.unc.edu/~danb/p13/NanaAgathasDinghySong.html
Okay, you guys, I'm having a "senior moment" and can't quite remember the other song. I think I heard it in a bar in Hawaii, which has been a few decades ago. You know you've heard it. I know somebody has. Double entendre, a bit risque, bar audience participation song.... Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I looked it up on iTunes and I found one that was pretty funny, the 30 seconds you get to hear it. You know it is funny because the album is "****s"

Ever heard this one???
My Ding-A-Ling-A-Ling
Lyrics: Chuck Berry
When I was a little biddy boy
My grandma bought me a cute little toy
Two Silver bells on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling
When I was little boy In Grammar school
Always went by the very best rule
But Evertime the bell would ring
You'd catch me playing with my ding-a-ling
Once while climbing the garden wall,
Slipped and fell had a very bad fall
I fell so hard I heard birds sing,
But I held on to My ding-a-ling
Once while swimming cross turtle creek
Man them snappers right at my feet
Sure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holding my dingaling
Now this here song it ain't so bad
Prettiest little song that you ever had
And those of you who will not sing
must be playing with your on Ding-a-ling
-
Oh ya...I am a child of the 50's 60's!

Oh ya...I am a child of the 50's 60's!

And you guys yelled at me for getting the "Pina Colada song" stuck in your heads??
I can just hear my 5 year old now when she goes to school next week..."listen to the song Mommy was singing..." I guess I can plan on a call from the teacher...
Lori
-
STATIC!! You Rawk, as Phyl says. THAT's the one that was creeping around the edges of me poor brain. My Ding a ling! Thank you!!! Yep, late 1960's, some bar in Hawaii. Maybe even Don Ho, for all I know. Or Tommy Sands*, but I don't think so. His show wasn't very raunchy, as I remember. Now, I suppose I'll be singing THAT all day long. Some songs gets stuck in there and won't come out for days on end. I heard Osmond's Down by the Lazy River the other day and I even had a dream last night starring the Osmonds! Now, THAT my friends, is taking a song in the head just a wee bit too far! It was very weird.
Sue in Vancouver
* Tommy Sands, for those of you who don't know him, was a cutie-patootie of another era. He is most famous for being married briefly to Nancy Sinatra. He was a singer and did a few acting things I believe and lived in Hawaii and the powers that be talked him into doing a gig at the hotel across the street from where Don Ho had his on-going show. He lasted for awhile.

For those interested, we do have mothers day down under and I'm in deep doo doo coz I live in a different state to my mother and organised some flowers over the internet - and guess what, i think they tried sending the flowers through the broadband pipes coz they haven't arrived (its Monday here) - they are in for a right royal bolliking. They have definitely thrown the raw prawn this time.
as for the dinghy thingy and dinga lings - you are all loopy (especially or cursed cruise director, who has been confronted with the men in white coats on a number of times through our voyage.
Hope all you mums are having / had a wonderful mothers day.

I was chatting with the lovely young lady who does my pedicures last week and we were talking about American holidays. She is from Laos, I think. She said that they don't have Mother's Day there. I said, well, of course not, and doesn't America have too many holidays and special occasions? And she said we have a lot. And I said, and because we aren't satisified with our own stuff, we take on holidays from other countries. Mardi Gras, Cinco de Mayo, St. Patrick's Day, Chinese New Year, Octoberfest, etc. We just scoop 'em all up, greedy guts that we are! ;D :o She laughed.
Poor Laz's mum! Hope her flowers got there, finally.
Hang in there, everyone.
Sue in Vancouver, USA
-
I'm thinking Laz should have asked Pooter to order the flowers :D
Pooter's wife Jenni got flowers on Mother's Day even though Pooter was in the hospital recovering from his surgery.
Very impressive!
But IMO flowers - either early, late, or on time - are welcome no matter what!
Jan
-
We have loads of public holidays in OZ. Even, a day off for the melbourne Cup (a horse race) - quite incredible really but we take it much the same.
My mother did get the flowers a day late so i had a go at the florist coz they guaranteed delivery on the Sunday. they relented and gave me a credit. Alls well that ends well.
mmm best gets my thinking cap on so the PBW can move off its sandbank!
laz

NOT a child of the 60's - NEVER heard that song and can't get it stuck in my head because I don't know the tune!! :)

Remind Phyl to sing it to you in Chicago next year! ;D
Lori

Lori~
I just might do that! I just got a free ticket (from all my Dr. travels) & if we haven't used them by then and if all you guys are going, I just might go too!!!!!!!!!! I think we would have one heck of a time!! :)
K
-
A free ticket :D
See, K, something good did come out of your latest medical extravaganza!
I am definitely going - it's right in my backyard - and it would be great to see you there. We will have a heck of a time - guaranteed!
Plus, you definitely don't want to miss the opportunity to hear Phyl sing. I hear she's quite good ;)
Jan

I ain't singing.... ain't gonna do it..... yet.... since many of you already have hearing issues.... well, maybe just one outta-tune showtune! :D

Phyl -
rumor has it that you, Joef, Jim Scott, and Steve are all going to serenade us at the symposium.
Boy, if that's the case, I'm SO glad I wasn't asked to be a moderator :D
Any truth to that rumor?
Jan

I can't wait to see the Moderator dance number that I've heard will be at the symposium too.
Sounds like a fun time!! And if we're right in Jan's back yard - I say bbq at Jan's!!! Do you have a pool by any chance? Just wondering if I should pack a beach towel.
Lori
-
Well, what do we have going on here...our own American Idol and Dancing with the Stars? Now Phyl, you just get yourself one of those sparkly little dance outfits and get those guys into some dance shoes,(well, they better wear more than that, howerver! ;D) and we might have something here. They can do a Hello Dolly kind of thing, also. Wow.....this might be fun! ;) ;D ;D
Sue, hanging in Southwest Washington, USA

Lori~
Jan is getting a new place...I bet it is going to be a MANSION - let's just all stay there. Hey, I know, how about having the whole symposium at her house!! ::)
K
-
K -
Great idea! I've heard that Jan is independently wealthy anyway, so I'm sure she'll have plenty of room for all of us.
So lets see...we don't have to pay for airfare because Phyl will pick us up in the ANA jet, we can stay at Jan's and Steve is buying drinks. Now, if we can just get Oprah to throw in a few of her favorite things, this could turn out to be the best vacation, er...symposium ever! It's too bad Jan and the symposium can't move to Key West...
And I love the Dancing with the Stars idea... "Dancing with the AN-ers"....best be careful on those spins and twirls. We'll have to cover the walls and floors with bubble wrap to avoid injuries.

Sorry gang, I can't sing and I never could dance but I was a radio D.J. and so I know that the fabulous Chuck Berry had the hit record of 'My Ding-A-Ling' back in 1972. I remember playing it. The song was a live recording from a concert that had been held in the U.K. that year. It was somewhat controversial at the time. 'My Ding-A-Ling' was Chuck's only #1 hit in the USA, which is too bad, because 'My Ding-A-Ling' is really just a silly 'novelty' song that is basically a double entendre. He wrote and performed better songs (he didn't write 'My Ding-A-Ling') that I hope he is remembered for. FYI: Check Berry is still with us. He'll be 82 this year.

Hate to break it to you Lori, but no pool :( Hell, I may not even have a house next year.
As K mentioned, I'll be listing mine soon - part of the divorce agreement with my ex. I just had a call from his realtor last evening - apparently he's dying to sell the place and put me and the kids out on the street. Nothing short of brain surgery will get me out of this deadline :D
But I'm trying to look on the bright side. At least I won't have a huge mortgage that I'm paying entirely by myself while he has the advantage of my good credit rating.
I may be living in a box - with two children - in August 2009. Or maybe, since I'm independently wealthy, we'll all just take up permanent resident at the Drake Hotel. That way we'll already be there when the symposium rolls around. And that will fulfill K's wish to have the whole symposium at my "house" LOL There is no pool at the Drake, but bring your beach towel anyway, Lori. We can swim in the lake.
The more I think of the moderators providing the symposium entertainment, the more I like the idea. Singing, dancing, fancy costumes. One of us will have to contact the ANA and give them this great idea - I'm not too sure Phyl will be mentioning it to them anytime in the near future.
Jan E (for effort ;D )
-
Jan, I'll make sure to bring my own box when we come out there so I have somewhere to stay on your street!
If you're interested, I know a lovely house in Nashville that will be on the market next year....I can even work in the AN discount... ;)

The Good ship PBW has been sailing the seas for some time now and the crew are starting to get restless. Poor captain Deb has been struck down with the evil headache curse inflicted by one of her plunderin adventures gone astray. The cursed cruise director takes charge and gathers the crew to the deck.
"Listen 'ere ya poultry lookin sea farin, flea bitten scoundrels", it's time for some entertainment before ya strike at each other with the feather dusters (might be fun but).
"You are about to be entertained by the motliest band to ever hit a keyboard (do keyboards work without power?) anyway, introducing, wait for it,
THE MODERATORS
Wil this be the final straw for the crew? will they all jump overboard at the sound of Joef on the electric guitar without electricity, or Steve on the drums, Jim on base and the girly up front in her skimpy pop outfit?
Stay tuned to see if any crew remain.
Laz
-
um, Laz... this fat body can't do skimpy... try again! LOL!
-
Jan, I'll make sure to bring my own box when we come out there so I have somewhere to stay on your street!
Thanks for the chuckle, Lori. I know I can always count on you to crack me up - it's one of the many reasons I frequent this forum ;D
I have to say that Laz's description of the entertainment has me laughing my head off. Thanks to you, too, Laz.
Jan

"The Moderators" live and in person...
You know... if we sell tickets, we just might be able to make enough money for you to afford a 2 bedroom box, Jan!
Lori
-
you all are pushing it a wee bit too far, you know that, right? :D
-
Actually I'll need a 3 bedroom box, Lori. Kids can't share a room and I refuse to :D I do have some standards, you know!
Sorry, Phyl. We just like to have fun with you because we like you so much - plus we know you can handle it.
You should consider yourself very lucky - we don't just tease anybody ;)
Jan

*runs up to Jan and gives her big ole' tight bear hug!*

I wuvs you too hun!!!!!!!!!!! :-*

Right back at ya, Phyl ;)

Hey, where's my hug? I made fun of you too, Phyl... ;D
A 3 bedroom box... Hmmmm...that's going to be tough...I think my neighbors just got a new fridge - maybe they saved to box from that....

Hey, where's my hug? I made fun of you too, Phyl... ;D

Hey, where's my hug? I made fun of you too, Phyl... ;D
Maybe she just likes me better today :P

Jan, I should have figured that.. since you were kind enough to offer to let us stay at your place and cook all our meals.... :D
I just can't compete with that!
-
First of all....The Moderators, live and in-person. I love it! Now playing at The Forum in beautiful downtown Cyberville, where the PBW calls home port. Or maybe Phyl and the Moderators. A little do-wop, maybe? Or is it four part harmony a la Barber Shop Quartet style? I think Laz has you guys as rockers. Ear plugs in, ladies and gentlemen! Jeez, I wish you guys really could sing...that would be so awesome! :o ;D
The house across from me is up for sale. Lovely 2 story house, friendly neighbors (me!) and lots of room for a family. Of course you hafta live in Vancouver, WA, but, hey there are worse spots. Like the Irawaddy Delta or earthquake prone China, for starters. Anyway, the poor family across the street has to move to Austin Texas because that's where her hubby got a job. He had to find something else so they could get insurance for their little girl who has numerous health issues. They used up their maximum alloted insurance at the other job. I guess I never was aware that could happen. Their little girl is so sweet.
Hangin' in Southwest Washington,
Sue in Vancouver
-
Sue, thats terrible about "using up all the health insurance. Thats one part of "the U.S" a lot of us down under don't want to see. Like surgeons getting $70K for an op and having to pay $1m in insurance for law suits. the numbers are all too big.
Oh and the friendly neighbour - well i reckon there wouldn't be any better than you Sue. You are awsome.
Anyway, onto a brighter note - hey girly, seeing that you are dealing with international sales, how about an international hug for the original 'ave a go at girly person, actuially, that should be two hugs!
On a sad note, looks like the receptionist at my wife's work has got an AN but she's not 100% - got all the symtpoms - looks like some local help is on the cards.
And its back to work for me too. - Try and sail on later today.
Laz
-
Sue~
Please tell them that Austin is a GREAT place. We lived there and LOVED it!! I taught in Round Rock for 4 years and we owned a Christian bookstore. My hubby would LOVE to move back there...I would too but this is home for me and we came back to help with my father that had Alzheimer's and are still here. He passed away, but now I don't want to just leave my mom all alone(plus she is a HUGE help to me!!).

How far are you from Fort Lewis? A very close friend of mine and her husband just moved there last week. They'll be there 3 years and they don't know anyone there. I'm sure that doesn't bother him since he's anti-social anyway, but she's not. I should give you her number (as soon as she gives it to me, that is..).
Lori
-
Hi,
I'm sure my neighbors will like Austin once they get used to it. South Texas is a wee bit different from the Pacific Northwest. My son has friends that moved there for her job. She is a on-air reporter for KXAN tv there.
Aww, gee, thanks Laz. I am a nice neighbor. We'll be watering her flowers while she is gone, as now it's heated up around here and we're having a freaking heat wave.
Ft. Lewis is between Olympia and Tacoma, I believe. So, it's not near me. We are part of the greater Portland Or/SW Washington area, and Ft. Lewis would be much closer to Seattle. I hope she gets along okay
Four part harmony or three part harmony? How many moderators do we have? I think I added an extra one! ;)
Keep cool,
Sue in Vancouver, WA
-
Sue -
I really like "Phyl and the Moderators" - it has a nice ring to it.
I could use nice neighbors - a few of mine are really nasty. One of them really hates my 2 kids. I'm hoping to sell my place to someone with 6 or 8 - in fact, I'm thinking of insisting on it. Kind of like my goodbye gift to her :D
Moving out of state would be cool, but there's this little thing called a job that currently pays my bills. I can't just flee the state without employment. I know Lori thinks I'm independently wealthy, but she's delusional at times (sorry, Lori) ;D
Jan
-
Yeah, Laz, I guess I'm pretty naive when it comes to insurance. So I guess there is a cap on some of them or all of them for all I know and this little girl was born with problems and has surgeries often on her spine as she has scoliosis and she has other things going on, like oxygen sometimes, and a feeding tube and I don't know what all. Her name is Madeline and she is 5 I think. She's probably gone over the one million mark on the insurance. Her mother was life flighted to Portland from Medford in Southern Oregon to have her because Madeline had cancer before she was even born. Something strange like that and I think quite rare. That's about all I know. Poor little tyke. They have only lived here for a couple of years, if that, so they are going to take a beating on the sale of their house, too. But, they have no choice, I guess.
I perused Austin on Google Earth awhile back. Looks like a pretty city.
Have a great weekend everyone. Laz, are we going to get this tub moving or what? ;D

Hi Guys ,
The other morning I awoke early and for some reason a poem formed and I thought about it for a minute and decided it was pretty good, fell back asleep and now 3/4 of it is gone, gone, gone! Actually, more like 9/10ths of it is gone, because all I really remember is "doorbell", "radio" and "there" . I knew I should have gotten up to write it down, but was too asleep to rouse myself out of bed. It had to do with phantom noises in our heads. So, help me out folks:
Doorbells ring and no ones there,
Radios play, I know not where, (or something like that)
something, something, something,
blah, blah, blah, rhymes with something ??? ;)
This idea came, because a couple of times I have been awakened by what I think is the doorbell, but it isn't the doorbell. It isn't anything. I was telling somebody about that, and I think that's where this poem came from. I just had four lines in my head that morning, and in my sleep induced dream like state, I thought it was good. Now, if I'd actually written it down, it probably wasn't that great! HA Of course, great by my standards is that it had a rhythm and it rhymed!
So ---any ideas any one? While we wait for Laz to do something with the PBW, we might as well have a creative writing class. :D Feel free to change the whole thing.
Sue in Vancouver
PS,
And does anyone actually call a radio a radio anymore? Shows my age I guess.

Sue,
Doorbells ring and no ones there,
Radios play, I know not where,
Telephones ring, with phantom glee,
But I'd rather be sailing out at Sea
Children’s laughter, are you there?,
Tinitus ringing, I can hardly bear,
Crickets chirping, or a buzzing bee,
But I’d rather be sailing out at Sea
Regards,
Rob

And does anyone actually call a radio a radio anymore?
I do. What else would you call it ???
Jan

Rob, BRILLIANT! ;D
Thank you!
Anyone else?

Jan....
The radio thing....I don't know, they used to say Boom Box, and then so many people use other things for their music - iPods and CD players and all of that, I guess I wasn't sure if "radio" wasn't some archaic term now! ;D But I googled it and and see that radio is alive and well. Well, thank goodness for that.
Sue
-
Great poem Rob, and Sue - at least you didn't say "crystal set". We used to have one, in fact my brother built one and we listened to it through and 'ear plug". Too much nostalga, showing my age. Mind you, i do remember listening to my mothers "record player" and the old 78's - Hopalong Cassidy is still vivid in my brain together with Cisco and Poncho and Mario Lanza. back then,, oh no, I'm not going there, may as well talk about the boar war as well!!!!
Laz
p.s priming myself up for a journey.
-
Sue, I guess you could call it a "hi-fi", but I think that term is definitely archaic. Radio sounds good to me - I guess that makes us all old, huh?
Laz, I remember (and still have) the old record player and records to play on it. Now if I could find someone who wanted to listen to my entire record collection of the Bay City Rollers (2 albums) and other quality music..... I can't even get my kids to listen to one note before they go running out of the room laughing. Good way to get rid of them though.

"Hey, Ceeesco, wait for me!" I always liked Cisco's horse - that pretty black and white pinto. I just looked up the series....one of the first filmed in color. But, we didn't have a color set for a long time, so I probably didn't know that when I was watching it! His horse's name was Diablo. I'd forgotten that. Ahhh, good times.
Adios,

Laz,
I know you're a trekky, and wanted to let you know that Picard is also into this pirate thing.

Hey Mateys!
You have been a raucous group while I have been attempting to begin the slaughter of a wickedly naughty brainbooger. I have me pirate socks and me landlocked mateys here are most alarmed. However be it, I am preparing for the mighty battle at the first part of the 6th month in the year two thousand and eight. The lilting music is prepared, also.
Land ho for me!

Hi Guys Again,
A few posts back I mentioned the poem that I thought of and then went away into the night, only leaving fragments. Well, some of the "poem" surfaced. Hooray! So, what went through my mind was actually a song, so I went surfing and found that you can find the original words and the music at this website:
http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/lyrics/hearsinging.htm It is by Irving Berlin and it's called:
(I Wonder Why) You're Just In Love
[sometimes called "I Hear Singing"]
So here is my version...I changed radios to music because I thought it sounded better.
I hear doorbells and there's no one there
I hear music but I know not where,
All day long there's buzzing in the air
I wonder why? I wonder why?
I hear noises in my head all day,
And what's more, it doesn't go away
Sounds that used to never bother me
They sound so loud to me, I wonder why?
You don't need analyzin'
It is not so surprisin'
That you hear everything you hear
Your brain hears pitter-patter
I know just what's the matter
Because I've been there, too, my dear
In your head you've got a tumor
Yes it's real, it's not a rumor,
Those AN's bring on a symphony
There is nothing you can take
You might as well commiserate,
And then, by gosh, we'll sail out to sea!
Thanks Rob, for the last line! ;)

I love it! Do you think "Phyl and the Moderators" will perform it for us at the Symposium?
Is that why Phyl is on hiatus? She's in rehearsal for the big show?
-
Oh Lori, what a great idea! :D I should have thought of that, but my sole purpose today was to get this "poem-song" out of my head before I burst a blood vessel or something, and I didn't think of Phyl and the Moderators performing this. Wouldn't that be hilarious. Gosh, I really wish they could sing! It would make for a great duet, since that's what it is, the two verses sung together. Anyone want to volunteer to sing it! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Okay, now that this is out of me brain, I need to do some ironing.
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Here ye, here ye, Phyl and the Moderators now playing in the middle of the carribean, on board the Goode Ship PBW. Their number one hit song soon to be released is called "I hear chirping"
Pirate daily reveals
"This band of flea bitten aliens, led by the cursed one - Phyl the cruise director, has been likened to a young Joan Jet back in the days of "The Runnaways". Although the members of this band all seem to be lob sided for some reason, they churn out a sound that any parrot would enjoy"
"The crew of the PBW, who were the first to hear the new single, all suddenly started walking the plank for no apparant reason" ;D.
"At the conclusion of the attempted entertainment, the remaining crew, who could not get onto the plank quick enough, all cheered prefusely and when Phyl organised the band for an encore, the remaining 3 crew members made their way to the plank at double pace".
Stay tuned as the voyage continues.

Something spoken like a true AN patient! we are a scary lot judging from the antics here and on the good morning thread. ;D

Sue ironing can be very scary, too! HA I suppose my generation is the last one that will ever "iron"! I notice that the display clothing in most stores isn't even pressed very well. Humph! These young whippersnappers! What's the world coming too? ;)
Sue
-
I agree Sue.
I remember many a day of ironing especially as a girl...back then we ironed every thing in site! I like the new wrinkled look mainly because I have ironed enough for a lifetime so nice neat creases are over rated.
Mary 8)

Ironing is a lost art. When I was a kid, my mom used to iron all the time. She had a little spray bottle of water and after spraying the items she was going to iron (my dad's dress shirts and handkerchiefs, tablecloths, etc) she would roll them up and put them in the refrigerator for awhile before she ironed them. Don't know what that was all about ???
I tried ironing once or twice in my 46 years and totally hated it. My parents bought me an iron when I went away to college, but the things I tried to iron ended up looking more wrinkled after I ironed them, than before I ironed them :D I soon gave the iron to my younger brother when he went off to college ;) He actually used it :o
Jan

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!
What be this talk "Ironing". the only ironing on board the good ship PBW will be loading the gunpwder into the iron cannons.
We be maraudin', lootin', plunderin' miseries of the higjh seas.
No more talk of ironing ye here or it be walk da plank fer ye wenches.

Laz,
Don't take ironing away...............I love to iron! When I was ten, my Dad paid me to iron his shirts for work and his hankies. I loved it. I can take out a lot of frustration on a wrinkle garment!
Brendalu
-
I agree with Brendalu!!!
Nothing more attractive on a man than a nice crisp ironed shirt!!!
Come on swashbuckling Laz, don't you want your ruffled shirt nicely ironed as we sail the sea'?
Anne Marie
-
Wow - no ironing....no wench work....just pirating???? Life is grand! I will be front and center to swab the decks......uhhh.........uhhhhh, seems like wench work to me. Can't escape it mateys!
Mary
-
Is this ruffled shirt the same as was on the "Seinfeld" episode? THAT would look great on Laz and the other swashbuckling scallywags. Oh, yeah, definitely needs to be ironed. Maybe somebody needs to be the ship's presser. There's a job for somebody! Run that by Capt Deb.
Have a great weekend!
Sue in Vancouver

I nominate Brendalu as the official ship de-wrinkler.
Just don't get her mad at you or you'll wind up with a little too much starch in your shorts! :o
This ship is going to have the best pressed sails around!
Lori
-
Brendlu~
I started on my daddy's hankies and then progressed to shirts but I certainly did NOT get paid for it!! ???
K
-
Ok, I'll iron the ruffles. Do any of you remember hanging clothes on the line to dry and then sprinkling them with water and rolling them up and putting them in the refrigerator until you were ready to iron them. I used to use starch on everything I ironed. I used to iron sheets and pillow cases too. Now I still iron the pillow cases but only iron the top hem on the sheets. I think I must be old! lol
Brendalu
-
Oh ya....I remember that. Every thing smelled so good off the line. Maybe the sails smell good, too and we can snuggle up to them after a day of pirating.
Mary
-
Hi,
Jan mentioned the water sprinkling on the clothes a few posts back also. I remember somebody using a small pop bottle that had a top on it that was used for clothes sprinkling. It was like a little shower head. That's actually a very nice way of getting all the wrinkles out of something. I got some nice high thread count cotten pillow cases that looked terrible after the dryer and regular ironing with the steam iron wasn't getting that snappy, clean look I wanted and I remembered the water and I now have a spray bottle for that. But, I don't iron them much anymore, either! (just a lazy wench, I guess) I'm not sure why the refrigerator, unless it just kept them damp and not dry out until Mother could get to them. Probably all of this developed before the steam iron became popular. Of course, ya gotta be careful if you try this and not scorch your clothes. Easier to do with the water, I think.
I wish I had a clothes line somewhere so that I could hang out some things to dry in the sun. We've got so many birds around here that I'd probably end up with a real mess on the clothes. Too bad, because everyone is right about how great laundry smells after it's been out in the sun. If that smell doesn't remind people of the "good old days", I don't know what will!
So, coffee percolating on the stove, apple cinnamon something baking in the oven, Mama in the corner ironing the freshly brought in clothes off of the line, Papa reading his paper and the old Golden Retriever lying on the floor near Papa's feet, and outside the sounds of a couple of children playing hide and seek and maybe the bark of the younger dog running after the kids. How Norman Rockwell is that? And you notice the only one working is Mama!! Even in my idyllic scene, the poor thing is working her fingers to the bone! ;) ;)
Check back in with ya all later. Have a great weekend.
Sue in Vancouver
-
I dry clothes and sheets on the line all the time when the weather is warm enough. I think I'm the only one in the neighborhood, who does, but I love the way clothes and especially sheets smell after they've been dried outside.
I decided a long time ago that when I die, I want the clothes I'm buried in to be line dried. I know it's strange - it's not like I'll be able to smell anything at that point in my life - or death, as the case may be ;)
Guess I'll have to make sure I die in nice weather, or my burial clothes will have ice on them :D
Jan

Love it Sue,
No mention of cell phones, text msg, tv, rap music or computer......opps silly me!!! ;D
Anne Marie
P.S. I love to iron......call me a sicko, but........

Laz quietly sends virtual airline tickets to the crazy ironing wenches to visit down under.
You guys are truly michuginer (lol) the men in white coats are comin fer ya!
Laz
-
Oh Laz,
I love seeing a man in a crisp, pressed dress shirt......especially if it's my good looking husband or one of my handsome sons. Actually I just finished ironing (lightly starched) a dress shirt for my oldest son. He's got a decent job for the summer in the planning dept @ city hall which could lead to a permanent position. He just graduated from college in urban planning.
Proud momma here!
P.S. Just send me your ironing on the next voyage with Capt Deb :D
-
:o
I still iron, cannot seem to wear cloths out of the dryer.
I also remember helping my grandmother ringing out the cloths in her old washer then hanging the cloths on the cloth line when I was young.
-
Well, Laz, are the white coats crisply pressed!? Don't want the men with the butterfly nets coming after me with wrinkly white coats. Tsk, tsk. Wouldn't do at all.

Columbo eat your heart out!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
To the laundry wiv ye wenches! The Captain's back from the psych ward and 'er bustier needs a'pressin'!!! The garters, too!! Snap to it!!!
A yes I remember dem days o' me Ma line dryin the clothes outside! The good old days of DDT and no bird poop a' messin' 'em up! Dang environmentalist hippies!
Fer me it was drying me clothes on the lifelines! Always tried to do it just before a little rainstorm at an anchorage so's they'd get a little extra rinse time.
As far as sails goes, ain't no better smell than a well used jib, furled and stretched tight to the winch. Ye can curl up in it after a night of drinkin rum and dancin the skin off the bottoms of yer feet to a scratchy band. Wake up in the morning and haul her back up the mast and take off again to a new harbour and a new adventure. Yes!!!!

Ah, thanks Capt Deb for the site. It is a very pleasureful experience and now saved to my favorites!! I starched the bustier and the garters too!!! ::)
Brendalu!

Right now I'm rocking out to a replay of a live concert! Actually they broadcast live ALL of the Buffett concerts he performs all summer long! Usually 3 times a week! He is such a hoot. And his band is incredible!

I starched the bustier and the garters too!!!
To a simple scalley like meself, why do you need to startch the busts wench Brendalu! Oh thats right, maybe you are going to be an entrant in the next wet t shirt comp? The good ship PBW has held very successful wet t shirt comps although, not sure if past winners had used starch?? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Does that qualify as a performance enhancement????
laz
p.s Laz blows whistle and yells "Captain on Deck,' "All hands, legs and heads (without AN's) report to the deck".

Rock on, Capt.

Ah, sounds like some parrot-heads out there amongst us... Hm, I guess I'll have to get this ickyhead stuff out of the way pronto!
-
Dang! Brendalu, this bustier is so well-starched me chin keeps gettin' stuck in me cleavage! Can't hardly squawk!
I may have to trade it in fer the coconut bra! Then where'my gonna keep me pistol? Dang accessories!!!
Meanwhile, while we're waiting for our dear Pooter to reappear and whistle or poot us up a stiff wind, the PBW's scallywags and wenches are out floating and bobbing around in the crystal clear blue Caribbean water in their innertubes drinking brelly drinks served to them by Headcase on his floatin raft-bar compleat wiv several solar powered blenders to whip up Pina Coladas and Margaritas and such. OOOO-EEEE they is having a good time!!!! Bob-bob, slurp-slurp!!!
Best wishes to our dear Debbi, Queen of the Ickyheads--hope your noggin gets healed up fast so you can get out of sick bay and back up on deck and join this Parrothead Party!

The coconut bra might be the way to go, Capt. Deb
I have one left over from my last Jimmy Buffett concert if you need one ;)

Dogggonit! I don't have a coconut bra! (Stamps feet.) Well, at least I can content myself with the Queen Of Ickyheads title (but hopefully not for long.)
hey, where the heck is Pooter (or as I mistakenly typed in an earlier post - "Pooer.")
;D ;D ;D
Debbi, QI (Queen of Ickyheads)

Hey all you Parrotheads!!
A pic of JB aboard Euphoria II sailing in the Caribbean around the late 70's I suppose. Around the time I kept running into him in different anchorages and watering holes in the Virgins and St Barts! Them was the days!

Thanks for the picture, Capt. I just LOVE Jimmy ;D
Debbi -
I really did get the coconut bra at the last JB concert I attended. A woman was standing in front of me at the main gate waiting to get in and she was handing out coconut bras to all the women (and some of the men) in line behind her :D
It's been a few days since I've read any posts by Pooter, but I'm thinking he's doing well. Probably just busy.
Jan
-
*rows up going in circles* Hey all! I am home finally. With her gone *ahem* I guess the thingy dinghy wasn't missed. Oh well..I am back on board with friends and a postie to boot. Lets get moving!
Brian aka Pooter....
-
Brian/Pooter:
Hey! Good to see you posting here again....as a 'postie'. I guess this means you're feeling good.:)
Now that you've passed the 2-week (from your surgery) mark, I'm sure folks would like to know some details of your progress to date.
We eagerly followed your wife's blow-by-blow account of your surgery and miss our 'Pooter Updates', even if they're not quite as dramatic as the surgery bulletins.
Anyway, welcome back Brian - and I hope the healing continues on track. :)
Jim
-
Yay, Pooter!
Glad everything is okay, Brian. Ain't modern medicine grand?
Sue in Vancouver, USA

Welcome back, Pooter! Glad to see amoungst the posties! THe sails will be swelling and we'll be in for a great ride!!
Capt, maybe you can talk JB into coming along for our entertainment!
Brendalu ::)

i am 3 weeks and 1 day post op and I have noticed that I get tired easier (even tho I'm down to 1-2 naps a day), I am slower than normal walking, talking, etc especially on my right (AN) side, my face is slower due to the palsy on the right side but gaining strength each day, my balance is there even tho affected because I'm unsteady on my feet, and I notice that its "louder" in particular places (restaurants for example). I've been to church and a couple restaurants as well as shopping a couple times but other than that I stay here at home. I have a birthday party Saturday night and a concert Sunday night so we will see how my body holds up.
All told my progress is just that...progress. A little each day, each week. Slower than works for me, but my body will do what it can. How's that for a blow-by-blow?? (No pun intended..heh)
Brian
-
Thanks Brian.
I know AN surgery recovery is measured in small increments. No one expects any dramatic revelations...but you never know. Some aspects of recovery come 'overnight' while others can take months. You have a positive yet pragmatic attitude and seem to be progressing at a slow-but-sure pace...but you're progressing. It's all good. :)
Jim

AAAARRRRR Mateys--looks like we have shanghaied us a Moderator!!!! Welcome aboard Mr Scott! Got any spare dilithium crystals with ya? Our blender is plumb worn out! And welcome back aboard Pooter! Now looks like we can get our sails filled once again, so outta them innertubes ye scurvey scoundrels and hoist the floatin' bar back aboard, Headcase, and weigh anchor! Man the halyards and hoist the mains'l! Adventures await us!!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate2.gif)

Ooooh! Now we have 2 of the 4 moderators. Any chance Joef and Steve will set sail with us ???
-
Hey, wait a minute, Lads and Lassies! I didn't sign up for any pirate cruise! I don't even like parrots all that much. I look silly wearing an eye patch. Well, I can do an ARRRRRG pretty well - but only if really necessary.
Now the blasted transporter stopped working and I can't get back to the Enterprise! What's going on here? Well, maybe the communicator is still working. Scott to Enterprise. Scott to Enterprise. Canna you read me? Hello, hello. Nothing.
Sigh. I think this could be a long voyage. I just hope they don't expect me to eat haggis.
Jim
-
AAAARRRRRRRRRR Scotty me mate.
The chronologer welcomes ye. Don't worry about hagis, we scalleys don't eat that mild mannered lot of inards (literally).
The crew of the good ship PBW eats Gagh. Now for the uninitiated or non Trekkies, Gagh is a Klingon delicassy - unprocessed live serpent worms. If they are not live - forget it. Followed by a gallon o blood wine.
But first Mr Scott (2) ye must pass the initiation test before ye becomes an official scalley, a scurge of the seven seas, a blight on the blighteds, etc etc. So we can see ya be the real deal and able to fight off any sea monsters coming our way, you must be able to hold a feather duster in the air for 5 minutes without giggling, whilst standing on one leg on the end of the plank, blindfolded and with a yard glass full o' rum pointing down yer gullet.
Are ye up for the test scalley to almost be?
laz
-
Sounds like we are gonna have a fun filled voyage, where ever we go!
Brendalu
-
As long as our Scotty doesn't have to say, "I canna make her move any faster Cap't, the engines are gonna blow!", then we'll be okay.
Of course, we save the warp drive for very special occasions. Right, Laz? ;D
Somebody get the Cap't out of the art studio, Pooter, unfurl the sails or somethin' , and Laz, let's get this rust-bucket underway. We are hankerin' for an adventure, for cryin' out loud.

Why did I read that in "Scottie's" voice? :D Too funny ;D

Okie dokie,
The good ship PBW is off again -
the air is silent, the mist is low and hovers over the still ocean, the crew, well, what can i say about the crew! They are all still fast asleep after a rather heavy night of lottin and plunderin and exhausting the rum barrels. Where did this take place you may ask,
Everyone must now close their eyes and envisage blurry scenery as we travel back in time.
Well, a long, long time ago (yesterday to be precise) Captain Deb and her specially hand picked team of the most rotten scalleys and wenches (names suppressed for legal reasons), took off on the whirly girly dinghy thingy after Pooter had returned it in a few pieces. The Captain had earmarked a what was thought to be, small island in the Indian ocean, and thought that her and her meanest and rottenest (new word to be added to the Oxford dictionary) crew could take the island in a matter of minutes.
Well, captain parrot head, obviously under the influence of every pharmacuetical company, got her bearings out just a degree or two and decided to take on Australia. needless to say, as they landed on shore, armed with their feather dusters (Scotty was a notable absentee as he is still struggling blindfolded on the plank). "Whertheheckarewe" asked the cursed cruise director, who shall remain nameless. A squark then was relayed and interpreted as "dunno but we can't use that name, its taken".
The crew are now in a flap but they soon come across this building with a title that says "PUB". Now the hitchhikers guide to pirating defines a PUB as a watering hole often frequented by those that consume different coloured water that makes them loud and dizzy and then sick. The captain, quick on the uptake spots the cellar full of barrelss.There be loads a rum jere me mateys. So the crew decide to haul out the barrels and return them to the ship. On the way back to the girly whirly dinghy thingy, they are confronted with a large group of mean looking thugs with a patch on their leather jackets that says "Hells Angels".
the crew are stunned at first but then decide, we be the meanest scurge of the seven seas, we fight!
Stay tuned when we find out if the crew met their match? How will the feather dusters stand up to chains and knives? is this the end of the caped crusader, oops, wrong story. is this the end of the winged beak and her motley crew?

So in true bird like spirit, she faces off with the Hells Angel leader - well, when i say "faces off" i mean, our Captain is eyeballing his stomach. No matter, the challenge is there. "WHAT ARE YA" shouts the hells Angel leader. "WHAT ARE YOU" squarks the Captain at a deafening pitch. The Hells Angel leader, suitably impressed with the bold move by the parrot, decides to back off.
The crew cheer loudly and decide to crack open one of the barrells to which the Hells Angels also indulged. The commando crew unit then took the remaining rum to the good ship PBW where all the crew forgot about their headaches, dizziness and other health issues and the stand off story was told by the commando unit to the rest of the crew all night with about 15 different versions, each one being more heroic than the previous version..
As day broke, none of the crew were not in very good shape and moaning and groaning (for the wrong reasons) throughout the ship. Alas, another twist in this virtual adventure, a sudden storm appears, sending bucket loads of rain down onto the deck and waking the crew. The wind gushes at 100mph, the waves are at 10 metres, the good ship PBW is struggling to stay afloat. Meanwhile, Scotty is still on the plank displaying superb balancing skills.
The PBW is then caught up in a tornado and is being hurled into the air but the good ship PBW is a tough nut and is still in one piece although Scotty has succumbed and is no longer on the plank.
Stay tuned when we find out where Scotty has been flung to? will the good ship PBW survive the tornado, will the rum stocks still be intact.
Stay tuned

Wait.
I think I missed something.
Was the thingy dingy ever found ???
-
Maybe the Hells Angel leader has it and gave it to the Canadian cabinet minister who's ex-girlfriend was previously involved with the leader of the Hells Angels in Montreal!!!!
Big scandal here in Canada......that thingy dingy gets around ;)
Anne Marie
-
Jan~
I think Pooter had it the whole time he was gone... ???
K
-
K - you could be right. I don't know ??? I'm still confused.
But I'm wondering if the Canadian cabinet minister is somehow related to the ex-governor of New York :D
I'm beginning to wonder if there are any politicians who are scandal free these days.
-
I was hiding the thingy dingy and rowed it to have my surgery. I rowed it back in circles, but its back now. Well, it was RIGHT HERE...Hmm..
It has gone missing again unless she took it on her "trip". ;D
Pooter...
-
I see that Laz is back in fine fashion and we in embarking on another incredible cruise! Hear, I thought the thingy dingy was probably caught in all of the snow and ice in the Northeast! Glad to hear that Pooter had it under his "wing". Phyl probably has it for her "mini vacation".
The visual on Captain Deb facing off with a Hell's ANgel is worth some graphics! Captain, where are you with those pictures you are so good at posting?

Your Highness Wench, Capt. Deb,
The following message I sent ta ya in a bottle but the dang thing just washed back up on me shore here in Arizona. You know the coastline there, do ya? LOTTSA beach. Plenty of sand!
Anyways, I want to convey to ya that thar Po-em is perty dern good. I was duly honored and found time to get a good belly laugh.
I am glad you like me bonnet. Me Arizona sailors mateys are not quite sure where the idear came from, so I am most certain any mateys here would think the Psych Ward is the right destination, but perhaps without access to the keys! The strangers on the busy street corner in Phoenix seeing me pose in my proud piratatude attire definitely would say - "off with the wench!" My true love behind the camera would also concur, I am sure.
I also think the biker chicks should be our mascots!
Best of the day to ye!
Mary
-
Okay, Mary wins the bonnet contest! I say Margaritas for everyone!!!

Gracias, Debbi! ;D

As the bikie chicks strut their stuff pecking at all the scalleys ankles, the Good Ship PBW sails along, drifting into the wild blue yonder. The crew, restless for a good fight (only registered feather dusters allowed) the lookout yells (now hang on a mini 'ere, who is our lookout? - need someone with a very high screetchy voice! "LAND AHOY"
The Captain and crew seem very uneasy about this Island (not named Gilligans). They feel a cold streak or was that streaker, go through their bodies, they feel a stillness in the air - crrrrreeeeeppppppyyyyy man!
Stay tuned when we find out Has the Cursed cruise director really been cursed? Are their supernatural findings ion this Island? or will the Captain get the rum party underway?
laz
-
Well, shiver me timbers, I'm getting scared! Ghost pirates? Alien Scavengers? What island is Laz bringing us to? Maybe it's Survivor Island, and we'll find that first guy who won all running around nekkid!! Now THAT's scary!
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Have I really, REALLY been cursed?
*faints in disbelief!*
(btw, Captn, thanks for posting a pic of me.... from 10 yrs ago! Yeppers, that is what I looked like! :D )
-
That naked guy from Survivor was scary :o
I'm voting for the rum party.
And BTW, very nice picture, Phyl ;)
-
The night air is crisp, a heavy mist desends around the good ship PBW and visibility of the Island has gone even though the ship[ is only 20 metres from the shore. The deck is being patrolled by the Hells Angels chicks who are carrying a shortened feather duster as protection (I guess ankle tickling could be effective)
The ship creaks on the still waters. the crew are all asleep except for our dear Cursed cruise Director, who senses that something is rotten in China but then realises that we are not in China but knows that something is wrong anyway.
a seemingly uneventful night passes by and the crew awake in the morning, mostly needing a shower, but settling for some rum and chocolate instead. meanwhile, as the crew indulge in their bounty of chocolate, the Captain is trying to find Phyl. Nowhere to be found, a ship wide search is conducted but alas, no Phyl.
Stay tuned, will the Captain lead a feather duster wielding crew to the Island where they expect to find Phyl? will we find out who Jim Scott really is? or will the crew decide that there will be more chocolate and rum for them without Phyl and mover on?

Jan

The mist is thick, the air is crisp and a creepiness bestows the good ship PBW as the creeking timber sends a shiver down the backs of the crew, all except our dear captain who is as high as a kite on her happy pills. But suddenly, the Captain squarks, feathers flying everywhere (malting season), where is our cursed cruise director? no answer from the shell shocked crew.
Meanwhile, the crew suddenly turn towards the mysterious island as they hear a lot of chanting and see smoke bellowing from the mountain side.
The Captain then discovers a pearl earing (scuse the pun) on the deck and adds one and one and mmm, .... gets her calculator out and gets two. She's been "Cursenapped"
"Battle stations ye ungrateful scurvy and flea ridden varmints" this be war - we be takin on these cannibals with all the fight a bunch of feather dusters can muster. The hells angels chicks start doing their cheer leading routine, Matti wench asks what T shirt to wear and the grogmeister loads himself up with the rum supplies.
Patti Yodelayhoohoo gets her tonsils warmed up with a shot or 35 of rum and yodels so loud that the Island animal inhabitants start to scurry around. Fortunately the chanting by the cannibals continues unabated or aware of their impending invasion.
Stay tuned when we find out whether the happy pills have worn off and the Captain has second thoughts, has the girly really been cursenapped or is there another plot going on? will the real Jim Scott be discovered on the Island? or has the chronologer run out of storyline?
Stay Tuned.
laz
-
Oh the Chronologer can never run out of Pirate stories! Just like Wendy having to tell stories to the Lost boys, Laz must tell his stories to the Lost PBW crew.
I put a spell on thee, Laz dear,
To tell us tales of joy and fear,
To spin a yarn big as the sea,
To entertain the crew and me.
Inspiration will come to you,
Guided by this very crew,
A story line will soon appear,
Settle down; have a beer! ;)

The last line of your poem is the best advice I've had in a long time - actually it falls short a bit ny about 5 beers but hey, who's complaining coz IT'S FRIDAY. WOO HOO

Ahoy ye scurvey scoundrels and wicked one-eared wenches!! Capt Deb needs to hand the helm over to the crew for a week whilst she heads to the beautiful Crystal Coast to do some Windsurfing, Kiteboarding and Shagging (to beach music, minds outta the gutter pullll-eeease!!!)
So remember the two rules of the sea!!!!
1. DON'T @#%& UP!
2. STAY AFLOAT!
Thanks!

Now now Captain, I reckon that you and Dr Luuuurrrrvvvvvve will still be on the boat buit down below deck. Know what i mean? nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more!
It will good to see you up and about after your "week off". Hope tose headaches stay away
Laz

Apologies crew,
the Goode Ship PBW will continue her journey through the dark and mysterious waters of wherever she is once the chronologer recovers from a rather nasty bout of pneumonia which was cast as an evil spell by the inhabitants of the Lost island.

Awww, Laz. I'm sorry you are sick. No fun. Take care. You might have to lay off the beer in favor of a "hot toddy". Or lots of Green Tea with lemon and honey.
Hope you feel better soon.
Loves ya,
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
The Cap't and crew of the Princess Batty Wench are pacing the deck, hopeful that the chronologer will soon be out of sick bay. We are confident that "Bones"** is taking good care of Laz and that he will be back to plotting our course as soon as he gets the dreaded p-monia out of his system. Hard to believe anything had a chance to grab ahold of his innards, what with all the beer and ale and grog and rum umbrelly drinks that have been guzzled.
The parrot is circling above, keeping any carrion birds away. Are there any carrion birds at sea? Hmmmm, something to learn But if there were any, our Parrot wouldn't allow them near our dear Laz.
Sue in Vancouver USA
;)
** Laz is a dedicated Star Trek fan, so it's only right that we borrowed Doc McCoy to take care of Laz.

Feel better, matey, Laz

The night air is still but an eeeeery feeling about the mist that has settled. With no sign of the girly, the Captain, circling above, dropping whoopsies all over the deck and crew (yuk), has mustered the crew and sqwarks out the following instruction.
"here ye, here ye" ah, whoops, wrong storyline, "ok ya flea bitten varmints, it's time to reclaim what is ours. We must recapture the girly, even though she be cursed, we needs her back" "Right now, ya motley lot, we gunna, attack those cannibal looking 7 foot 13 spear carrying natives with everything we got". The crew, looking rather dazed, shocked and downright woosie, turn to the hells angel cheer squad but those chicks have flown the coup. They're not silly.
"Are ye with me or again me" chirps the Captain. the crew, look to the Captain, then look to the Island and all, as if in unisen, duck for cover in the bellows of the ship and crack open the rum barrells. The captain decides that if ya can't beat 'em, then join 'em. Anyway, a few hours elapse and the crew, who are now too pi..ed to pop, get up the courage to mount a rescue mission.
the captain, quick to flap her wings, grabs the moment and like Captain Parmenter (ftroop) gets on her high horse and yells "CHARGE".
Stay tuned when we discover if the Parrot is flying in the right direction? Will the crew be able to get off the floor? Has the girly been eaten by the natives? Has Gordon Ramsey been teaching the natives cooking lessons or should that be vocabulary?

I say you keep the booty (rum) for yourself! After a bout with the devil-lung, you've earned it.
As for me, I think I'll nip into a nice cool sauvignon blanc. Not very pirate like of me, is it?
Debbi :-\ (that's me pirate grin!)
-
Debbi,
Maybe it depends on how much of the sauvignon blanc you drink and if you drink directly it from the barrel - definitely more piratatude! By the way, now yea can wink at the 6 pack muscle pirate men on board, with yer new Blinkese! :o
Mary 8)
-
Wooo Hoooo, it's Friday! I just came on deck when I noticed the ship picking up speed. All the sails are out, and the PBW is flying straight and true. But there is no one at the helm! Hmm, is the PBW haunted? Maybe the lung jumby put a curse the ship to take us out of the Caribean to colder waters. Where is the PBW headed?
Regards,

Listen 'ere headcase, hop outa them rum barrells and stick ya beak outa da port hole and you'll see dat we are at this mysterious island and the cursed cruise director has been girlknapped. The Captain got the crew pi..ed and is mounting a rescue.
Stay tuned

Hey, Phyl, Laz's isn't playing nice. He's refusing to share his rum :(
Don't moderators have the authority to do something about this ??? ;)
Jan
-
Laz,
Oh, right. It was all in me head. That will teach me to stay out of the mescal.
Rob
-
mmm Mescal! - never heard of this down under so I looked it up as "Hispanic a colorless Mexican liquor distilled from the fermented sap of some species of agave plant" Sounds rather exotic - whats it taste like?
Must get some janis Joplin juice on board (Southern Comfort) and some VB (Victoria Bitter) - thats beer for the uninitiated. Oh, and can't forget those Tim Tams.
Now, as the crew disembark the good ship PBW, or should i say stumble over the side coz the only way the crew would leave was after a barrel or three.
the crew led by the wing flapper approaches the island shore, this strange chanting becomes clearer and clearer. the Crew, now well alert by this chant seem amazed by the words especially as this Island is in the middle of absolutely nowhere.
The girly is tied to a long tree standing on lotsa branches piled up in front of her. "This doesn't look good for the girly" squarks the Captain. "Right, you mangy flea ridden crew, it's Plan B".
Stay tuned when we learn what the chant was. What is plan B? is Plan B better than plan A or is there a Plan C/ - reminds me of the Monty Python skit in the Holy Grail where they encounter the rabbitt and they will attack on the count of three, you know just before 4 and just after 2. They then started counting and charged on 2 if my memory serves me well. Anyway, i digress, Stay tuned.

You know, I WAS kind of wondering what that funny smell was ???

Do we need to have to have a chili cook-off to get up some speed on this vessell?
Yes, It is I--Yer fearless Captain returned from R and R at the Crystal Coast. The Kiteboardin and the Windsurfin and the Shaggin(dancin', you fools!) were GREAT. Bought a new bikini and a new Boogie board.
Looks like some of the crew found the key to the liquour locker that I hid! Naughty naughty! The spankings will take place on the quarterdeck at sunset, right after happy hour!
Capt Deb 8)

Welcome back o fearless Captain! Let get those pictures posted of the new bikini. ::) ( thought I'd ask before Laz does) Chili cookoff indeed...............................lots of kidney beans to boot!

Capt Deb -
good to see you back; we missed you!
Your R&R sounds like it was very relaxing ;D
I take it the nerve block is still working well.
Jan
-
A sceam, as loud as it can be, AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH was heard and it was the girly. "What is that' she yelled.
With the Captain's plan B in action where the motley crew are all dressed up like the natives (with only a loin cloth), the crew surprise the natives and begin tickling them to death with the feather dusters. The natives are rolling around on the ground sneezing and laughing and trying to breathe whilst the crew untie the girly. Captain parrot asks the girly if she is ok and the response - well, here it is anyway. "I'm fine but you guys in a loin cloth really startled me"!! ;D ;D ;D
The crew hurridly run back to the good ship PBW and as patti yodeleyhoohoo is about to bellow her voice, she spots someone on top of the mountain range. Who is this mysterious person? Stay tuned when we find out who that person is standing on top of the mountain range. Will the crew maintain their new dress code (scary)? Will the girly be scarred for life after seeing all those loin cloths?
Laz
-
Welcome back from yer R&R capt! Let's pilliage and plunder and drink rum and stuff! Heck, let's have rum first! Should we have that chilli cookoff first and get outta 'ere?
Pooter...
-
Well the crew of the good ship PBW decided that they have had enough torment, kidnap and adventure and decided to ignore that strange person on the mountain top and head off to the sunny bahamas for some well earned R&R where no sea monsters exist. The captain points in the direction and squarks "thata way" as all good Captains do.
The good ship PBW arrives at the Bahamas and it's girly drinks, rum, beer, champagne, the works, it's all bubbling and overflowing. The weather is a fine sunny and warm day, the crew after cleaning out the alcohol stocks are enjoying their skinny dip in the crystal clear blue waters.
And so the current adventures of the good ship Princess Batty Wench resides for the time being. The crew are all satisfied with life at the moment, plenty of alcohol, plenty of skin (perhaps a little too much!) ;D, good weather, no stress and pleanty of R&R.
This is the place to be (and a tax haven from all that booty we have in store).
To the crew, enjoy the moment.

Hi Tom~
I'm not sure about this question...this forum can be very serious and we try to address questions and welcome new people here. However, this is the "Community" section so pretty much anything goes here - we see ourselves as a very close-knit community who share the good times and the bad and a LOT of laughs in between. I've been out of pocket most of the summer and am not very good at searching, but I have not seen your post - I am so sorry. Please give us another chance...

Both.
I haven't heard of any effective AN tumor shrinkers in the last year, either here or elsewhere, so I don't think there will be much for any one to post about.

Ahoy Tom 101! This particular thread is more of a chat session where we blow off steam and goof around-- I've been off the forum for a while so I don't really know where your original post was, so CREW, look around and find this persons post and give this fellow AN patient some direction OK? Yes we are dead serious when it comes to helping out our fellow patients!

Cap't Deb, I sent Tom a message to his private in-box, and he's cool with it. I explained our little corner of the Forum okay, I think. I told him about our excellent support team and all the knowledgeable people that would be happy to help him with anything.
Anyway, where were we? Pass the SPF 35, I'll take a Pina Colada please, and when do the Bosa Nova lessons begin? Anybody play the steel drums? Oh yeah, snorkeling lessons are in the afternoon! We will swim with the fishes.

Headcase, would you please post that pic of my two new boyfriends that you posted over on Phylls 2 1/2 year thread? Mikey (the fish) Phelps and the other dude? The cuties in the leotards? Yummie!!!!
Thanks,

Oh, that's hilarious. ;D Those boys look like they know how to party. And they are all ready for a dip in the ocean!
Love a Luau! Oh we're going to a hukiluau, to a huki, huki, huki, huki, hukiluau! Anybody bring the pig?

gots to be a lamb - pig's not kosher!!!!!! (not that i care but)
oink, oink, everywhere an oink. ye old parrots PBW, eee, i, eee, i, oh dear, those men in white coats have re-appeared.
lock me up, take me away- it's Friday arvo at 2.33pm and I's is in wind down mode but ssshhh don't tell my boss.
Speaking of swimming, Phelps is a big story here but has been overshadowed by Stephanie Rice who is 20 and has scored 3 gold and 3 world records. Her newly appointed manager had signed her up with an endorsement of swimwear before these games at a fraction of the price she commands now.
Off to take 3 hours to do my timesheet!

Good morning all. On a recommendation (Capt. Deb) I have sauntered over to this thread only to find a whole lot of partying going on. Imagine my surprise! Just what the doctor ordered. May I come aboard? I should warn you, I get seasick, really seasick so you have to have good drugs. I was a party animal in my youth, but at 49 I may just be the designated driver.
Marci

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR All ye Wenches and Scallywags! Looks like we gots us a new Wench aboard the Princess Batty Wench!!! Welcome aboard miss MAlegant, the Elegant! I'm sure you look elegant wot wiv the head shaved and all! We are right in the middle of a kosher luau! Mr Mikey (the Fish) Phelps be the guest of honor.
Hey crew--Remember the Enchanted Spandex we plundered from Ziggy Stardust's closet on our visit to the Island of Mustique. Well it has showed up on everyone on the US Olympic swim team! Stars and everything! Someone hijacked it outta the ship's costume locker and gave it to 'em! We got's a traitor in out midst!!!! I guess it's OK since they be bringin home alla them gold medals and all. Hope Mikey the Fish brings summa them to the Luau when he's done in China!
Miss Elegant, you must read this thread fom the beginnin whilst yer laid up, if you can focus them eyeballs. It really is a hoot!
Now....on wiv the party!!!!!!!

Oh Yeah, Marci, this is our version of Second Life, I guess. We got a pirate ship, a parrot, lots of rum for our umbrelly drinks, pirate wear, and Laz, who once in a while changes locations for us. He has landed us in a nice, beautiful beach and we're having a Beach Party/ Luau kind of thing. Snorkeling, Limboing, swimming with the pretty fishes, ogling the Olympic men, (and the beach volleyball babes for the scallywags) and just hanging out, until Laz sends us on a mission, if he can come up with a story line.
For now, we be relaxing, beach side. 8)

Running to get my bathing suit

Oh, are bathing suits required on this beach? Darn.
Marci (running to get bathing suit and hoping no one is watching)

I am hoping there are lots of people wearing eye patches and can only see me with one eye - hehehehe
-
No worries!!! This island and the boat are magical. I'm flipping a coin to see whose body type I'll have. Heads Rachel Welch, tales Sophia Loren.
I want a real body, no injections or implants ;D
Anne Marie
-
I'd go for Sophia Loren at 40. She was a goddess. Since you have dibs on that body, I'll take Halle Berry.
;D

Sounds good to me! ;D

Okay, Sophia Loren and Halle Berry, you can share the hammock with me. 8)

MAYBE ::)

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR,
What be goinz on 'ere. A new wench that hasn't passed the initiation test, and furthermore wanting to know if bathing suits are required - AAARRRRRRRR, listen 'ere ya soon to be flea ridden, deck swabbin' scurvied wench, all wench crew don't 'ave bathing suits thats for sissies, it's birthday suits all round.
Stay tuned new soon to be wench, the initiation test is a tough one (Jim Scott aka MI5, CIA, and ABC spy is still trying to catch something (can't remember0 while blindfolded on the plank.
We best be getting outa this paradise coz da crew is gettin a bit too comfortable.

I want Sawyer from Lost!!! Not partial to blonds, but gosh that man his it all. Must be the dimples! And guess what he's all ready on an island, how perfect is that.
Sorry Steve ;D

What's this about an initiation? I didn't sign up for any initiations!!
Marci
-
Oh yeah, we've already had a long discussion with regards to cutie patootie Sawyer! He's a wench favorite around here. You might even see the ghost of Errol Flynn running around here somewhere. Or was it Doug Fairbanks, Jr.? Maybe both of them! Of course, I have dibs on Orlando Bloom, because I be a young wench on this here pirate cruise, not the old bat that I really am.
But, Laz doesn't like us lounging around getting all soft like, and I guess he's gearing up for something!
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Toooo righty wench Sue,
me thinks the Captain (the velevt sledgehammer) has gone soft as a marshmallow. I think we needs a good hard hittiing poem to get this crew a shakin and a rollin. Enough of the margaritas, it's time to take this rust bucket (that'll get the parrot sqwarking) and sail them there high seas in search of booty (careful i spelt that right) ;D. It's time fer plunderin, it's time fer creating mahem, it's time, for a coffee break.
Oh, and when we set sail, young Marci, you best gears yerself up coz the initiation is rugged
Laz
-
I be ready Laz. Now that I have my coffee, that is.

Captn got herself a new boogie board and is even wearing a bikini while using it..... oh, the shame of it all!

A Poem To Instill FEAR! ;)
Laz is back and kicking rears,
Says we gotta change the gears,
No more playing on the beach,
No more rum umbrelly drinks.
No more Limbo, no more fun,
No more soaking up the sun,
Time to get the crew on board,
That last beer has been poured.
Avast, me hearties, hit the deck,
You'll not want Laz to wring your neck!
He’s a mean one, from clear Down Under,
He just loves to pillage and plunder.
Set the sails and man that jib,
Swab the decks, and don’t be glib,
Cap’t Deb will soon be here,
Hey, Laz, is this enough “fear�?

Hey Laz,
Congrats to Australia for being the spoiler to the Chinese diving team! I was having a lot of fun last night with the names Mitcham and Fitchum.
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Sue,
Interesting names are a plenty at the moment. My wife works at the War Widows Guild (Oz looks after their war widows very well). Anyway, there were two registrations for a function from a Mrs Burger and a Mrs Onions. I hope they don't sit at the same table!!!!!
There is a guy at my work called Abraham Tind..k. Policewoman girly would censor that one so i had to put a couple a dots in.
The Olympics are always good but i must say that 16 days is enough. maybe the crew of the PBW could enter the London games - now lets see, what event could we enter, mmmm. chocolate eating comp, poem writing, I know - wet t shirt competition - could be fun judging ;D ;D ;D
Laz
-
Well, I tell you, we about fell off of our couches/chairs last night when we saw the hand off to London. The Mayor of London looked a bit out of place or something. The other two men are all spit and polish and then in comes an everyday kind of bloke, with his hands in his pockets, coat unbuttoned, floppy haired, goofy grin, just like he'd maybe indulged in a pint or two before the flag handoff. It was hilarious. I thought, well, okay...it's going to be a whole lot different in 4 years! What a hoot. For some reason I could hear the Queen's voice saying...."Oh, Phillip, do remind me to tell the Lord Mayor of London to button up that jacket!" :D :D
So, anyway, if we head of the Thames in our precious PBW, do we we wear our dress pirate duds or will our regular clothes do?
Ha
Sue
-
We are supposed to be wearing clothes!? ;)
Pooter...
-
Formal attire for the crew of the PBW be birthday suits
If this boat is still sailing in 4 years, we will do a trip down the Thames and I'll do one of my famous dives off the chandellier. Oh, sorry, thats the Yooteee's job. Incidentally young yodelayhoo hoo did your cape get caught?
Laz
-
*looks down at own body.... knows response to Laz*
I'll pass on the birthday suit portion of this trip.....I'lll be below deck, hiding the new/expanded version of the "caboose" :)
BTW, already noted the London games to the Bloke's folks..... if we can do it, we'll be there! :)

I'd have Misty May's. She's made a gazillion bucks playing beach vollyball and has a cute tight tuchus and her chest doesn't get in the way or fall out of her bathing suit when she body surfs like mine does. HA!

Thank you, Capt. Deb!
Well, Cap't, Laz was just disgusted with the whole bunch of us having a beach party, I guess, and he was trying to get us ship-shape for our dear Captain, who really cracks the cat-o-nine-tails when the mood strikes. *ouch, by the way*
So, now that we're all on deck, scrubbing and cleaning up the ship, mending the sails, managing the hangovers, tending to any sunburns, scaling the fish that we caught, and re-stocking the supplies - - now what do we do?
Laz, ya scared us into submission! The Cap't is milling about. Where are we off to now? Should we go to the Arctic and save the Polar Bears? Might be a bit dicey on board ship with polar bears running around. Should we sail for the South African coast and watch the Great White Sharks trolling for seals? oooo, scary! Do we vote for the little girl on America's Got Talent who beat up all the pirates? Should we head for that area of the Pacific where all the flotsam and jetsam gathers in large floating garbage dumps and do a little cleanup? We might as well throw in a little civic duty before we pillage and plunder somethin'. We don't have to tell the Brotherhood of Dastardly Pirates that we be good hearted at times. Or maybe, we go back to the island for the Labor Day Weekend! 8) Deb and Phyl want to practice their beach volleyball skills some more. Take on those American champions. Teach those long legged skinny girls some skills! ;)
Have a good week everyone, and a great weekend. Go out there and grill somethin'!

I thought he was spraying sun protective lotion on Misty's back, but then I looked again & saw there wasn't a can in his hand, so......
-
It's good old fashioned spanking isn't it? ::)
-
I got it - he's using his hand to make shadows of an animal on her back !
-
Nancy~
I liked the idea of sunscreen - I laughed out loud!! ;)
K
-
At first glance I thought he was autographing her back.
But then I looked closer and noticed that he doesn't have a pen in his hand, nor does his hand appear to be holding anything.
It does look like he's "smacking" her with his hand.
Anyone know what he's really doing ???
Jan
-
Brushing sand off her back, I think. Carefully.
Steve
-
I've just logged in at work and no pictures have come through - wonder why???
With the crew all back on deck scrubbin the rotten timber, Captain el squarko gathers her beak, ensures the nostrils are clean (gross!) and yells to the navigator - we's off ta Brazil fer beach volleyball.
Now listen'ere ya motley lot, we's gots te git in da spirit of the contest so we needs a couple of crew members ter bring some sand up from da ocean floor and put it on the deck. Me thinks that can be the first initiation task fer Marci.
Here is your kiddie bucket and spade. Now dive into the 50 feet of water below and bring up a tonne of sand.
marci, frowning and cursing, reluctantly takes the bucket and spade and strips into 'er bikini and dives off da bow and begins the rather lengthy and tiring task. (we'll come back in about 3 years fer ya Marci!!!!!!
Marci wasn't 'avin any of this nonesense so she planned well in advance. a well orcherstrated cunning plan that had her pre set up a pulley system that was attached to the cursed cruise directors arms. At the end of the pulley system was a bulldozer. A bulldozer? you ask. Well, I'll take writers priveledge for that one, and the sand was brought up in no time (the girly is always using hand gestures you see).
We are stunned Marci, how did you get all that sand onto the deck in no time flat. I'm just quick she replied. Anyway, looking astonished, the Capatin didn't pursue the conversation but thought that this be a cunning woman so we could use her later, mmmmm.
Stay tuned mainly coz Laz is getting sore wrists and needs to go coz it's FRIDAY. Stay tuned really, when we find out what the parrot head has got in store for Marci! Will the Captain announce a new lack of dress code for the beach volleyball? will the good ship PBW make it to Brazil with all the extra sand on board?
Stay tuned
Laz
-
Jan~
I could be wrong, but I nearly know that on the day that happened (before I even saw it) they were commenting that she had stuck her rear out for the little slap of "good job" after the were volleying with him - I think she was teasing him!!
K
-
That's true. This picture was taken right before he decided it was more "proper" to hit her back, instead of her backside (if you will). She offered it because it's tradition in beach volleyball to hit another's bum to say "good job". He opted out of being traditional. {CENSORED} :)
Brian
-
I can only imagine he's thinking, " It's good to be the President."
Rob
-
Hey Marci,
Your officially on board and part of the crew. Keep up he good work and we'll be party soon.
Off to a get sea, luvin' story Laz.

Now listen young Marci, that was just the start of the initiation. It's a 5 point plan - mighty tough this be wench in the waiting.
meanwhile the good ship PBW is flying through the ocean waters on route to the New Orleans shoreline to give a helping hand to those hard done by stranded people.
The good ship PBW is on a mission of mercy - but thats not to say that we won't stop off on the way fer some plunderin
Stay tuned when we discover marci's problem solving skills as part of her initiation into Wenchhood.
is she up to the challenge? Can Marci add one and one? Will mathew come on board and send Marci into dizzy spins and not passing the test?

As the PBW limps away from the storm battered North American island, the crew are exhausted after the multip[le rescue efforts but are still keen and eager to do some plunderin'
Captain bird, woofing to herself, decides that a bit of fun needs to happen so decides to continue with young marci's initiation test.
What's next on the agenda is rather hair raising (for those of us still with a head of hair).
Back to Jamaica mon, is the Captain's orders. We have unfinished rum guzzlin' to do.
Stay tuned when we discover what the captain's real intentions are? Will marci pull out of her initiation into the toughest, meanest band of scoundrels thats ever hit the high seas? Can this thread get to 200 pages of posts?

I used to do wild things like that too before I was married. Oh, to be a free spirit again just for a day! Being married with children can really lead to a tamer sort of life -- not that there's anything really wrong with that. My husband is kind of a stick in the mud and puts a damper on my more adventurous vacation ideas. His idea of adventurous is going to DisneyWorld. I'm tryiing to talk him into a cruise for next year -- we'll see what happens.

Wendy wench, get your husband to do the initiation test and become a fully fledged scalley then you can both cruise aboard the Goode Ship PBW. It's captained by a strange bird who is well acustomed with the Jamaican way of life 9me thinks the Captain was Bob Mrley's mentor!!
The boat is a little worn with all them battles especially against the sea monster. he put up a really good fight but the PBW came through it. We go to lotsa interesting places!

Well, well. I just heard on the news that it was National talk like a pirate day and I just knew the old gang would be up to something. I wanted to drop in and say hello; it's been a long time! How is everyone??? I hope all is well. I have missed you guys but you just would not believe what has been going on this past year. I've had a lot of new things to think about. I have a little one due on Sept 30th and I've also been battling breast cancer this year. Found out about the cancer the day before the pregnancy! Who knew at 34 I'd have to deal with the AN, Cancer, and a pregnancy all at once. So, please forgive me for not dropping in and saying hello before now. I hope to be catching up on the site and all the postings so I won't be such a stranger any more.
How is everyone else???
-
AAAARRRR Laura-wench--A pirate-let! Good on ya! Sorry about the other not-so-good news, but knowing you, you will give that one a swift kick in the britches! Sounds like you could use a vacation aboard the PBW. We are headed for St Barts. You and I will be the only sober ones aboard! We will be speaking French-Pirate! Allez-Allez A St Barts!! Plunderez et Pillagez!

Ahhh, Laura, ye comely lass, yer been battlin' some mighty big sea monsters of late, I see. But, me thinks you'll be gettin' an angel in yer arms soon enough, and that'll take care of yer woes, that be fer sure. Nothin' like a wee babe to bring luv inter yer heart and soul. Aye, lass, nothin' cures ye more than the sight of that there little bundle of joy and ter hold that wee child snug to your bosom and sing sweet lullabies, mostly pertainin' to the little tyke's cyber auntie and uncles on that faraway pirate ship, o' course. ;) ;D
Sleep little baby, Mama's here,
I'll take care of you, don't fear,
Monsters out there are far away,
Papa and I will keep them at bay.
Captain and crew will help us too,
Keep us strong to care for you,
So sleep, our precious little one,
We love you, and my song's done.
Best wishes to you and your little one. Stay well,
Sue in Vancouver, USA
-
Thanks guys! I have missed the humor I find here! Awesome song Sue! Capt. Deb... I don't wanna be sober anymore! :'(
-
Well, you know, Laura, humor and tumor rhyme, and there must be a reason for that! So we take full advantage of that quirk of language.
Take care,
Sue in Vancouver USA

Laura,
Glad to see you back in the fold, but so sorry to hear about your cancer news. The baby is a huge blessing though!
I am a 22 year breast cancer survivor! I'm praying for you and I know you will find the strenghth and faith to come out of this with that beautiful smile on your face.
I don't know where you are having your treatment, but MD Anderson is the very best and I would recommend at least a consultaion there. Their words of wisdom are "Making cancer history"
Hugs and all the best thoughts and prayers coming from me to you,
Brenda

Laura -
congratulations on the impending birth of your baby - awesome news! I just LOVE babies ;D
Sorry to hear about your cancer I'm confident you can beat it; you sound like you are a very strong woman.
Keeping you in my prayers,
Jan
-
Thanks everyone! I'm very much looking forward to Tuesday morning (being induced). Then off to the cancer battle. God doesn't give anyone more than they can handle... he must think a lot of me and everyone here on this site. I love you all and thank you once again for the well wishes. I'll post again after the birth :)

Laura -
are you having a boy or a girl? Or are you waiting for Tuesday to be surprised?
Jan
-
Oh Boy! A Bouncin Baby Pirate-let aboard the PBW and then on to kick some cancer-butt, which is what we do around here! We kick AN-butt and headache-butt and any other kind of butt that affects our beloved PBW crew member what we loves so dear!

Leapyrtwins - We are waiting until Tuesday to find out the sex of the baby. We have a girl and are hoping this will be a boy but are happy either way.
Capt Deb - Thanks so much. Luv u 2 and will keep you all posted.
Man, the excitement and fear are all creeping in... YIKES! :o
-
Laura,
Many hugs and kisses to you and your new little bundle. Enjoy holding the new little life in your arms. You will gather strength from the baby to fight your next battle. Please post a picture of the baby and family.
To quote Capt Deb "O'healin thoughts and pirattitude to ye!"
Anne Marie :-*

I'm with Anne Marie - please post a picture of the baby.
Good luck tomorrow!
Jan

Cap't Deb and Laz,
I be wonderin' if'n the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench might not be needin' to sail on over to the island of Manhatten, and we all could get our buckets we use to swab the decks, and help those landlubbers with that bailout! Or make 'em walk the plank. Can't decide which would be better! Or maybe it's Chesapeake Bay we need to sail to, and see if those Congress types need some Pirate-atitude. 'Course, they might just hi-jack our ship and sail themselves out of there! Crikey, we got ourselves a mess!
Or maybe just partyin' in the Caribbean until the storm passes would be better.
Or maybe we should all move to Costa Rica! Australia? New Zealand? Bali? Ah, Mars?
Sue, sweating it out in Vancouver WA
-
Laura~
Good Luck tomorrow! I have 3 girlies and we NEVER found out what we were having until they POPPED out!! And let me tell you, they did pop! I had the 1st in THREE hours start to finish, the 2nd in TWO and the 3rd one in 46 minutes with the nurse holding her in waiting for the Dr.!! I told him not to leave!! Oh I LOVE babies and would have a house full, but after a brain tumor, stroke, 4 miscarriages, shots every day with the last 2 and an IV with the last one, I decided my body had gone thru enough!! I was always HOPING I would have an "accident" though!! LOL!! But it never happened - guess God thinks I have enough to deal with!! ;D
You'll be in my prayers tomorrow!!
K
-
Well, I hope you do post baby pictures, as we'd all love to see the new baby. I admire your restraint in not finding out the sex of your baby, because most people want to know ASAP! Of course, when my little one came into the world, that was a rare thing to know before hand. My first thought when they said, it's a boy, was, Oh my gosh, I don't know a darn thing about little boys. Let me tell you, I learned fast. There are many times that I wish I could have my baby back for a day, just to hold him, and rock him, and just look at that sweet baby face sleeping in my arms. *sigh* Of course, since we didn't know what we would be bringing home, I had a sweet little pink thing for her to wear. So one day, my husband came home to our son wearing the pink outfit! ::) He about had a fit! HA I told him I just wanted to see what the outfit looked like on a baby. He never wore it again. (Sorry David! ;D)
Best of luck to you and your new little one.
Sue in Vancouver USA, who really wants to hold a baby now!!
-
AAAARRRRRR Ahoy Mateys!
Well, now I gues we needs ter go gout and get one o' them lil yeller square thingies wiv BABY ONBOARD wot alla them yuppie soccer moms got on their minivan winders and hoist it up the yardarm! Mrs Laura-wench o' the PBW be birthin her young'un as we speak! Hope she give it a strong pirate name like Bluebeard junior or Francis Drake or Anne Bonny or sumpthin like it!
(http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m67/bigpapamundy07/Baby-pirate.jpg)
Blessins upon the wee one and Mrs. Laura-wench and her family today and always and know that the rowdy crew of the PBW will be thinkin' of ye all today!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate2.gif)
-
Oh Cap't Deb, I'm laughing out loud! What a picture. Hey, don't give these new mother's anymore ideas on name for babies. I just read where some celebrity named one of their kids Gulliver. I mean it's some kind of race to see who can come up with the stupidest name to name their poor child. Anne Bonny is okay but Bluebeard might be a bit much. Pirate-let or no Pirate-let. ;)
Putting my foot down for decent names for decent kids,
Sue in Vancouver USA

Hi ye all,
Sorry i have been struck down with that rotten headache again.
laura, all a down under has decided to have a public holiday in your honour on Monday. It's labour day!!!! hopefully you won't still be in labour then.
trusting all will work well for you with the birth and the all a them nasty medical things. the Goode Ship PBW aint goin' near them bloodsucking scoundrels on Wall Street. I'm not sure if they'd take too kindly with an invasion of drunken scalleys and wenches weilding feather dusters. Mind you, if we did a nudie run through, it would get their attention!
We still be parked in the carribean waiting for laura Wench's news. Might be a good idea to be enjoyin' the relaxin' life for a bit, amidst the world turmoil.
Take care ye matey's
Laz

Rum and Coca Cola! Sounds good to me.

Actually the world's best cocktail is Mount Gay and coconut water. The stuff that comes out of the center of a fresh coconut. You get a strong West Indian mon to whack one open wiv his machete and then you pour in a big glurg of Mount Gay from Barbados and some ice, and swish it around wiv a straw a slurp it up. Ah de memories!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate2.gif)
-
Captain -
can you arrange for a strong West Indian mon to bring some coconuts and his machete to the symposium? The rest of us can be responsible for bringing the Mount Gay and the ice ;D
Jan
-
How bout we have the next symposium in de West Indies! Plenty strong West Indian mon down dere! Han'some ones, too!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/emoticon___pirate_by_anya1916.gif)

Sounds like a plan ;D
A GREAT one, in fact ;D
Jan
-
Capt~
Can you please make sure it is a HOT, SINGLE West Indian mon for out sweet Jan??
K ;D
-
Thanks for thinking about me, K.
As I'm getting older, the hot isn't really important anymore - hell sane would be a great start - but the single is definitely a requirement ;)
Jan

You guys are cracking me up! The baby has arrived...we have a boy :). His name is Morgan... Not a very good pirate name unless you consider the liquor Capt. Morgan LOL. But of course he would have to be a Jr. to Capt. Deb! We had a little scare with him as the cord was wrapped around his neck and caused him a lot of facial brusing but he is home and well now and we could not be happier.
Thank you all for your well wishes and thoughts; it really means a bunch. I'm trying to remember how to insert pictures??? Man, it's been a while. If it doesn't show I will keep trying :)
Lots of luv to all.

Okay, I can't remember... someone please remind me how to post a pic?
Hi Laura and congrats!!!!! A Boy named Morgan! Lovely!!!!!!!!! Congrats to you all!!!!
I took a look at how you posted the pic (us Mods have special magic powers to see how you did it..)... you cannot post it directly from your harddrive... you did everything right to "insert" a pic but please upload it to frapper, KodakGallery, photobucket, etc... then copy the URL of the pic once posted on one of these sites (ie: once you post the pic there, place mouse over pic, then "right click" to see the "Properties"... open "Properties" and "copy" the entire URL line)... then come back here and "insert" (the same way you did before) and "Paste" the link.
again, congrats! :)

Welcome baby Morgan!!!!
Nothing more precious than a new little life. Can't wait to see your picture!

Okay, here goes another try, thanks guys! His face looks a little red because the cord was wrapped around his neck and caused some bruising but he is much better now.

Can you believe I used to live on that island? How I ended up here I'll never know?????? But now I have a wonderful husband and 2 lovely grandscallywags. And a bunch of great memories. Before all this AN business and this finanical mess, Dr Love and I were going down there on vacay every year! He loved it. This beach was where I swam with a bunch of little silver fishies at 7 AM on my last day in the Caribbean in 2001.
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate2.gif)

what mischief should I plan for our sail to this treasure of an island, dear Captn? Me thinks that it's time for peg-legged shuffleboard... anyone want in on a game or 2?

Therebe several ways to find yer pirate moniker! Check these out!

Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/emoticon___pirate_by_anya1916.gif)
-
According to the first quiz, me pirate name be:
Iron Bess Flint
A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you're a tough person. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/emoticon___pirate_by_anya1916.gif)
-
I'm Red Anne Rackham. The second one gives me Hackin' Gertrude Scarr, which is a bit interesting in that my mother's middle name was Gertrude. She hated it!
Hmmmmmm.
Sue, err, Red Anne, in Vancouver USA
-
Red Harry Rackham
mm, thought it would have come up with leisure suit larry or something like that!!
battling the all powerful and conquering headaches at the moment - need to be lounging on Treasure island, next to Bob Marley's stash and a barrel or three of Souther Comfort - won't feel the headaches until it all runs out then!!!
Laz
-
Madd Bess Kidd
one consonant ,one vowel and double consonant at the end in each name ...that's odd...
and it says
Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Even though
you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make
you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!
-
:-\ Kinda of funny I am also Iron Bess Flint (we musta been twins separated at birth, Capt Deb!) I am Cannon-Balls Augusta on the second one but I think I may have hit the wrong button!!!!
Brendalu
-
I be Black Mary Kidd! Arrrrrr....
-
Me moniker be Iron Tom Cash. But I can never remember the right type of currency to use in the Tortola bars.
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l46/HeadCase2/PIRATE_SKULL.jpg)
-
I think I will stick to Madd Bess Kidd ...second pegged me as Saggin' Jowls Sandy and third as
Gentleman Jim which would be fine iffen I had a third leg :o
-
Third leg!!!!!!!!!! - we gets ta call ya Jake the peg. - Thats the Rolf harris song - member, jake the peg, didlleliddyliddylum, with the extra leg,didlleliddyliddylum etc etc - too many diddles for me.

Well, I finally read the information on Calico Jack and that is interesting. Disturbing, but interesting. I wonder what happened to Anne Bonney and the babies? Maybe she be the gr gr gr gr grandmother of Capt Deb!
Stranger things have happened. Did ya hear the story of the doctor with an AN who has a dog with an AN? ;) It be true. As Dr. Sam Rush.

The Goode Sip PBW has entered a temperal rift in the time space continuim and needs to watch out for nutinro emissions which could penetrate the hull and invoke the emergency force firelds.
There lbe danger ahead me Captain, Whatchya gunnu do 'bout it eh? Recruit littluns and play pin the tail on the parrot or something!
Meanwhile, Pooter is chucked overboard coz he woke everyone up!
Laz
-
Oh, man, I hate the time-space continuem temporal rift thingies. :o It's soooo confusing. Never know where we may end up. right Laz? With our luck we'd be looking down the cannon of one of them REAL pirates, and then we'd be in a pickle. "Course, our Cap't Deb could sweet talk her way outta anything, so I suppose we'd be all right and end up sharing our grog with them.
But, golly gee, those rifts make me sooo dizzy!! ;)
Sue, still in Vancouver USA

AAAARRRR mateys!
Guess what I saw on the ship's telly a few days ago!!! Well, Miss OPRAH had Nicole Kidman and that sweet hunk Hugh Jackman (Does every Aussies last name end wiv -man?) on her show and they was promotin' their new movie called--well guess what it's called AUSTRALIA fer God's sake---anyways Hugh whips out a batch of....are you ready fer this........TIM TAMS!!! Yes that's right you old time mateys of the PBW, you who have been sailing on this ship a while know what they are and if you don't you had better start reading your PBW history starting on about page------45 or so? I have had Tim Tams shipped to me 4 times from different people--3 times from Aussies!!! Anyway, here was Miss Oprah a' muchin' away on a TimTam! Munch, munch, munch! Yum, yum, yum!
(http://www.about-australia-shop.com/images/gr200timtams.jpg)
They are simpley the best things in the world!!! They comes in different species, too. Like Dark Chocolate and Black Cherry Forest, and Milk Chocolate. Our ship's namesake had a bunch of 'em at the symposium and we shared 'em when one of the lectures got a bit borin'.
So this wench here has a hankerin' fer some Tim Tams and feels the need to get a tan in the southern Hemisphere where it's friggin' SUMMER anyway. I also has a hankerin' to kidnap some Aussie hunks if Mr Urban and Mr Jackman is example of what inhabits the landownunder. Bondi Beach here we come!!! TimTam factory look out!!!! Capt Mad Deb is on the rampage and need to put some ocean beneath her feet. I been listenen to Buffets new album "Live in Anguilla" and there's a live cut of "Treat Her Like a Lady" in which he talks about the sea and it's just but me into an seafarin' MOOD!!! (I may never get to sea again in a sailboat because of this stupid AN but I can wish about it here can't I!!!)
Laura, we are stealin yer lil wenchette and addin her to the crew so's she can keep me grandscallywags in line. She's just the cutest lil piratess I have ever seen!!! We'll raise 'er good and return her to ya when she's rich beyond belief from all the plunderin we'll be teachin her!
Well that's the scuttlebutt from the PBW!! Anchors Aweigh!!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/skull_swords_cross_display_md_clr.gif)
-
And, if I may add to the Tim Tam madness. When I last checked, World Market was selling Tim Tams. So get thee to your nearest World Market and have a chocolate treat.
Well, havin' met Aussie Larry/Laz, who is also an Aussie, I do believe we can say that Aussie men are, indeed, hunks. ;) ;)
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Pepperidge Farm cookies now also make Tim Tams. They are available at Target but not Walmart so far. Yummy! Target even had them on sale recently. They do taste the same as the World Market ones.
Cheryl R
-
Forgot to mention they have caramel and chocolate cream flavors.
Cheryl R
-
Yeah, but there's something really gross about American born chocolate--just not the same as landownunder Aussie chocolate--right Laz? Laz? LAZ? Yoo hoo LAZ!!!!!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/emoticon___pirate_by_anya1916.gif)
-
I was expecting them to be not as good so was surprised. Hey, Target is closer than World Market! It is not good for the weight to have them so convenient now. I told Katie about it. She was excited too. There aren't too many of the ones who even realize the signifigance of what tim tams even means! Once you know,you never forget them!!!! It is the official AN cookie.
Cheryl R
-
Now to find a store in Canada that sells Tim Tams.....I want the hazelnut praline Tim Tam.......hazel nuts and a good chocolate almost as good as...... _ _ _.........hehehe ;) ;)
A knotty, but nice Anne Marie ::)
-
Laz rolls onto the deck of the PBW after his attempt to restore consumer confidence and buying heaps and heaps of Tim Tams after our Dear captain parrot (boids shouldn't have chocolate) got me onto them again. AAARRR yuuuummmy but me love handles are too big without the Tim tams!
Sue, ah, what can i say (blushing) other than, i think ye needs some spectactles that can see properly.
Must say though, they are the finest chockie bikkie around. Please note all ye scalleys and wenches and wenchettes, they must be stored in the freezer - sorta like vodka.
Watch those wenchettes, once addicted to Tim tams, ya will soon 'ave ta go ta rehab to kick the habit. Winehouse, Lohan, Moss - yep, all addicted to Tim Tams.

AAARRRRRR Mateys, I'm definitely a'havin' a TimTam attack. We ain't got no World Market or Target any where near me in this hick town! But we do have a really cool pirate statue that I'm dyin to have my picture taken wiv. Next time I can Talk Dr love into it. My errant Uncle brought me 2 lbs of really good Dark Chocolate covered pretzles from Dietsch's in Findlay, Ohio on his way down to Texas. Uncle Dave, He be one a' them allergic to cold weather snow birds (runs in the family.) I'm allowed to eat chocolate now (except my tummy doc and my headache doc say to avoid it but what do they know anyhoo?)cuz the Topamax made me lose 25 lbs and 4 pant sizes! Anyway, I'm goin to visit the grandscallywags maybe this weekend and I heard there was a World Market close to them and I will check it out down there.
Meanwhile, aboard the PBW I command the crew to start laying in rum and grog and suntan lotion in preparation for a voyage to Laz's homeport. Maybe he can arrange an audience wiv the King and Queen of Australia, although they are gonna be none too happy wiv us plundering the TimTam armoury and all.
Anchors Aweigh!!!

Caramel Tim Tams sound delightful!!!! Maybe I can have it laced with some of that Topamax so I can lose 25 pounds and 4 pant sizes. Since the baby I can no longer fit into my plundering attire! I might scare the natives! YIKES :o
-
Maybe we can convince Arnotts to make Topamax TimTams--lose weight, cure headaches, and satisfy cravings for chocolatey crunchy bikkies at the same time! Plus the name is good for PT.

Here's the scuttlebutt on the Target Topamax-free TimTams, mateys:http://www.missmenunyc.com/2008/11/everything-but-kitchen-sink-tim-tams.html (http://www.missmenunyc.com/2008/11/everything-but-kitchen-sink-tim-tams.html)

My package of both caramel and chocolate say best used by 11/11/09 so we can stock up!!!!!!
Maybe they will see that they are well boughten and keep making them. There is 11 in the package. Odd,why not twelve? Probably bad for the economy just like everything else.
My latest discovery is that Target no longer takes 10% off of their magazines. Walmart still does. Cheryl R
-
Off to Target I go for some Tim Tams! YIPPEE :)
-
*wipes drool from mouth* ;D
You all stink! Haven't had TimTams in ages! You gotta freeze them, then.... take a frozen one, nibble off the end... then use as a straw for hot coffee drinking. A cheeky-bird (no, not the bloke) taught me that one... OMG... gotta try it.

Now to find a store in Canada that sells Tim Tams.....I want the hazelnut praline Tim Tam.......hazel nuts and a good chocolate almost as good as...... _ _ _.........hehehe ;) ;)

I just got home for Target with my Tim Tams... bought 6 boxes. They are on sale too; 2 for $5.00!!!!! Yummy... guess these pants won't fit too much longer either! YIKES!!!
-
Canada in the winter??? Yougottabekiddinme!!!!!!!! I'm allergic to cold weather. I bin tryin to get Dr Love to move me back to the Caribbean since i met him but he went and had grandkids and that was the end of that! But they are now mine too and we'll have to wait till they grow up and think we are dumb old farts, but right now they think we are the coolest folks on earth!
We are going to Charlotte just after Thanksgiving and there is a Target and a World Market near by! TimTams, here I come!!!!

'tis time fer a sailin'. Hoist the hoo flung dung, drop the gizmo, red alert, it's mission time.
Captain parrot decides she's had enough of the Pirate imposters around Somalian waters, lootin and plunderin other vessels like oil tankers. It's time to show these imposters who da real pitayes of da sea be.
meanwhile, the crew are starting to get a bit nervous about this trip as they are not sure whether their feather duster arms will be enough to combat these pirates. however, the fearless Captain revs up the crew. ye all got / had and largely overcome these quirky monsters in yer head, surely ye can fight off a couple a young renegades!
the crew motivated by this speech all cheer in unison. We're wif ya Captain.
So the Good Ship PBW sets sail, the bucket, having had a recent re-fit now houses 2 rum cellars, creaks a bit but starts to move.
Will the Good ship PBW come face to face with the Renegades? Will the crew be too anebriated (with 2 rum celllars) to do anything other than offer them a drink? or will there be a twist. Stay tuned
Laz
-
Two rum cellars, a TimTam locker and a Hunk Hold! what more could we want in a vessel? Oh Yeah, Batty's toy Chest, Can't forget that! It belongs in the Hunk Hold, I guess.
We are expecting our second PBW Pirate Baby-onboard! Miss Katiebonner-wench is expecting either a boy or a girl, she hasn't decided yet! What if she names it "Anne Bonnie Bonner?" Wouldn't that be cool?
Goes ta show ya life goes on after AN! Congrats, Ms. Katie-wench!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate-smiley-12.gif)
-
Man, I was gonna volunteer to keep guard over the 2 rum cellars until I read we have a Tim Tam locker and a Hunk Hold... How about I just watch over all three ;).
Congrats Katie!!!!
-
To the brig Captain - ya weren't meant ta tell about da secret Tim Tam locker! They be fer a special occaision - like, all the time!
Another wenchette'ish. geesh, next we be settin' up a creche!!!!!!!!!!!!

So glad you are back and I am hoping you are feeling well. You have been missed.

P.S. You and Capt Deb really make me laugh. Let me tell you it hurts to laugh, but I love it!! Best medicine ever :-* :-*

Anne Marie-wench,
That is why this here thread was invented--to LAUGH! TEE-HEE-HEE Chortle Chortle Yuck Yuck Woo- hoo- hoo! And what could be funnier than a motley crew of wonkeyheads a'traveling the world on a great hulking beaut of a ship wiv every amenity known ta man (and wench) and making up crazy stories about their adventures? Sorry if it hurts yer noggin a lil, but no pain, no gain, right?
Now off we go, anchors aweigh, hoist the mains'l, unfurl the heads'ls and all that sailorspeak!
AAAAAWWWWKKK!

News Flash!
Pirates have just hijacked a Belgian Chocolate Tanker off the coast of Madagascar! This would mean a chocolate shortage and a tremendous rise in the current price of TimTams!
Anchors Aweigh ye wonkyheaded, one-eared scallywags and wenches! No chocolate shortage for us! Man the Cannons! Load the funnellator! Lemmeseenow. Where the hell is Madagascar anyhoo? Time to plunder the plunderers!!!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate-4.gif)
-
Uhhhh, Captain... we might have a shortage as I've been "guarding" the Tim Tam stock. Please don't make me walk the plank, I think I'd sink straight to the bottom :o
-
A Belgian Chocolate Cargo Tanker? Oh, the humanity! Is nothing sacred? The nerve of these ruffians. They don't know what's coming at 'em now. The full wrath of the PBW and it's chocolate hungry crew. Laz, bring the photon torpedos! It's all out war, now mates.
Sue in Vancouver, USA
-
Oooops, wrong flight path Capt'n Parrot. Madagaskar, which is located in Southern Africa, was a favourite haunt for pirates, but they got shipwrecked a lot (I do remember that from my history days), so we best not go there.
Actually, Somalia aint the best place either.
Stay tuned, will the Captain change course and head back to the West Indies? Will she forgo the chocolate tanker/mmm Stay tuned
I think its time for an all inspising poem to help the Captain make her mind up.
Oh, at the last re-fit, The cursed cruise director decided to disarm the ship of photon torpedoes and replace them with more of Batty's toys to improve ship morale!
Laz
-
Photon B.O.B.s?* :o Load the funnellator!!! Gotta take this chocolate tanker back from the baddies!!!

Hijacking a little bit here.
Thought all you pirates might be interested in a website I found the other day while searching for Christmas gifts online.
Check out www.perpetualkid.com - specifically the stocking stuffers section. Some very special pirate gifts (non-pirate gifts also).
Thought it was a rather fun site.

Hidey Hi, Hidey Ho,
It's off to war we go,
But where to fight, where to be?,
Maybe we should stop for tea.
Bad guys here, bad guys there,
They give us all a scare,
Is this a fight we can do?,
Cap't Deb, it's up to you.
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Is it really up to me?
I say "we shall FIGHT" (tee-hee)
Off to Madacascar we shall sail!
I just hope we got money for bail!

We are Saaaaiiiiilliiinnngggg, we are saaaaiiiiilliiinnngggg, over..... enough of that garbage.
Well, it's off ta war it seems. Good on ya Captain birdie. Nothin' like puttin the crew at risk huh!
As the good ship PBW sails through the stormy seas, some of the crew, none too happy about takin' on these 'ere bad boys, decide to have a pow wow right near the girly whirly dinghy thingy, having a peak a boo inside ta see what rations be stored.
Alas, from a higher ground, a flock of seagulls fly overhead and drop their booty on the mischievous crew. "That'll learn ya, ya scurvy ridden yella belly varmints" yells the captain. the crew fearful of being made to walk the plank, get on with their duties.
Stay tuned when we find out if any of the crew will remain on board? will there be a mutiny (hasn't been one of those for about 100,000 posts) or will Captain Deb go for a full frontal assault on the bad guys (minds can be in the gutter here)
stay tuned oh, great poem Sue wench.
from the land down under, home of the infamous Tim Tam.

WOO HOO, 200 pages. there once was a sea monster who tried to sink this ship, back around the hundredth page or so I reckon, but it has set sail over and over and made it to the ripe old age of page 200.

Congratulatuions to the PBW and crew for surviving this long strange voyage. As Grogmeister, I've rolled out a special barrel of old rum, along with lots of coconuts, pineapples, limes, etc. Tropical drinks are being served in coconuts today, with little umbrellas.
Long live the PBW!

Congrats Laz on your anniversary. Many more, I hope. Hi Patti, how ya doing?
Cheers,

OH MY GOSH, I'M 3000! Yippee. ummm, do I get a prize too?
-
Hi guys,
Thx for the well wishes. Now, lemme see, last night mmmm, mmmmm again - I'm afraid the cursed cruise director will get her red pen out on this one so I'll just say that "Mum and baby are doing fine" - whoops, wrong standard message. "Dinner was enjoyable and a good night was had by all"
Now, young Vancouver Sue wench, 3000 - huh? the prize is actually a pay rise and you now get double what you were getting before. I think it's your shout with all that lack of new found wealth. You see the plunderin riches have been low lately. Those evil pirates of the seas have swooped on all the treasure and not left any spoils.
Best set sail again, I keep forgetting where we are up to - must be the mad cow's!!!!
From the land down under, the land of milk and honey, and more importantly, where Tim Tams were invented.
Laz
-
Thanks Laz. I think. As long as the rest of the crew doesn't know I'm getting twice as much as they are. I look at is as a cost of living raise. Woo Hoo! ;)
*starts humming, I got plenty of nothin' and nothin's plenty for me...*
Glad you two kids had fun. :o
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
What?!?!?! Some o' ye Scurves be gettin' paid fer this nonsense! Ter the brig wiv ye! Fetch me cat o' nine tails!
No pay here! Pirates gets and equal share o' the spoils! Lately they be TimTams, Barbados rum, and Aussie Hunks! But NO CASH!!!!!!!
Lordy knows we could all use some cash around here but the ship's treasurey is all depleted due to all the bails we've had to shell out thanks to you rowdy lot over the past 200 pages!!! We need a new way to raise some cash around here. Any suggestions??????????
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate-3.gif)
-
Well, we'd have to sail on over to Orlando and see if we could bump off the Pirates of the Caribbean troupe and take their place, there by getting some cash from them there tourists. Or offer sunset dinner cruises with us being the cooks and waiters and such. Hmmmmm. Hey, Laz, can you cook? Throw that shrimp on the barbie? We might have something there.
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Hey, I see where some of the bad pirates were caught. Hmmmm, did we have some hand in that? Cap't Deb, did you get those baddies?
When you surface out of the ice, let us know..
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Raise some more cash eh!
Ok, we be havin' a cake stall - (Laz quickly jumps off the plank before being pushed)
Sue wench, I'm a brilliant cook. I cook already cooked prawns (Its a tough job peelin them little critters). I can boil me an egg, um, lemme see - oh yeah. flick off a twist top off a me VB (beer for the untrained in Aussie cuisine).
Now all ye scallies and wenches battlin the cold and wind and splender, spare a thought fer us down under folk battlin, bright blue sunshine and 30 degrees and trying to decide which beach to go to. Actually, naomi and i are not big beach goers (passed it) don't like getting all that sand up the crevices - now ye scurvy watchdogs - that be quite an innocent comment so ye not be censoring or I'll get the parrot onto ya.
looking forward to a good break over the festive season - just relaxin and doing zippo.
Whats everyone else's plans?
Laz
-
I'm getting butchered. I go in tomorrow to have my ovaries out and on Jan 5th I go in to have my breast reconstruction. Awe, nothing like the holidays huh?!? I'm going to gulp some grog to prep myself. Man, how I'd love to be at the beach instead Laz!
-
Aww, Laura, sorry about all of that. Jan 5th I go to the endodontist and he's gonna dig around under a tooth! And my son goes in for his last check up on his ACL surgery that he had. So guess it's Med Day that day. Yours sounds the worst, but yet the best because it's possible. My poor mom went through breast cancer and they didn't have all of that reconstructive stuff back in 1956.
Laz, maybe we won't ask you to cook, but perhaps be the head waiter or the bouncer or just man the sails and look studly and pose for pictures with the tourists. Anyway, a bake sale would be fun. I'd like to make some stuff to sell. And you don't have to brag about the lovely Australian summer (ooops, no wild fires this year I hope..) because we all know you are basking in the sunshine now. The northern half of the North American Contintent is currently PRETTY DARN COLD, thank you very much. Maybe we can hope this is helping the Global Warming thing. Helping to build up them there glaciers and all.
Okay gotta go. Son and I are going to watch a movie.
Sue in Vancouver USA

Laura,
I hope you are doing ok. I'm so sorry you have to go thru all that.
Please know I care....and I will be praying for you.

Putting my pirate sox on and prayers for you, Laura!

And putting my Pirate Socks on for Larry in Australia who is facing Round Two with the dreaded AN. But I have no doubt that our brave and fearless Scallywag will vanquish the terrible foe once and for all.
And, Laz, you have an army of support that stretches from Australia clear across the Pacific to the North American Continent and then all the way across the Atlantic to the UK and beyond. We're all in your corner, champ.
Cue the Rocky music, and go get 'em mate.
Sue in Vancouver USA

Avast, it's been raining here in Raleigh for a few days, and the ground is so saturated that the worms are packing up and moving out-- they were all over the sidewalk as I came into work. Arrrrgh, I'm thinking I should be moving out too. Hmmm...

Okay, Pirates, listen up! Oh, excuse me....Avast, me hearties, lend an ear... or something like that.
Anyhoo, my husband came home tonight and told me that his bosses (he has two) are giving him (and his wife, that's me!) a cruise to Hawaii. Can you believe that? Don't know all the particulars yet, but thought I'd better find out how you all think an AN patient with minor balance issues will fare on a large ship all the way to Hawaii. Never thought I'd get back to Hawaii, and never thought I'd be on a cruise ship again. Wow. Hope I don't heave ho all the way to the Islands!

Sue~
I went on a Disney Cruise (wow, are we at different points in our lives?) and few years ago and didn't have any trouble. For the most point, I didn't feel anything and the only times I did, EVERYONE else did too! I know their are others that have been more recently in comparison to their treatment (didn't 1wareagle go on a cruise?)...good luck!! I've never been to Hawaii and have ALWAYS wanted to. My 7 year old really has a thing about going to Hawaii too so maybe someday...I'll keep wishing! ;)
K
-
I saw a show on HGTV about the Disney ship, and is that ever cool! I wanted to go on that, and I don't have little kids anymore, and I don't have grandkids. I don't care, I just wanted to go on the ship! That dining room where it starts out with the walls in black and white cartoons and it slowly changes to full color illustrations just fascinated me. How wonderful is that? I love that stuff. I want to have my birthday at Disneyland, like they are advertising on TV. I could have a Princess one or a Pirate one, if they'd let girls have the Pirate party. Okay, I'd feel stupid...but still...wouldn't that be fun?
Just a kid at heart, ;)
Sue in Vancouver, USA
PS
Yeah, I think I'll do okay. The only thing I'm really wondering about is afterward, because the last cruise I took, I was okay on the ship but after I got off the ship I was a little dizzy for a few weeks. My inner ear kept sloshing about, I guess. It's called something, but I forget right now, and I'm too lazy to look it up.

Sue~
We went with all of Dave's family - there were 23 of us ranging in age from 1-70 and I think EVERYONE had a great time (however, I had 2 very little ones & encourage people if they are going {not with a group} that they should wait until ALL of their kids are 3 or above so they can take part in all the activities for them!). There was something for everyone and the excursions were very good too - big variety for everyone. The dining rooms were SOOOO cool - especially the one you were talking about! The waiters move around with you (do they do this on all cruises?) so you get to know them really well. We had all those kids and teens (13) and they knew what we wanted for them all & who drank what and that we wanted fresh fruit for the babies before the meal, etc. It was really fun - I would recommend it!!
I don't remember feeling too "weird" after we got off the ship...

Listen up ye scurvey bilge rats! We be weighin' anchor and hoistin' the mains'l and belayin' the halyards in preparatgion fer our Hawaiian cruise. Yes, we are to follow Sue Wench so she don't get bored on that there cattle boat! We takes care of our wenches, we do, we do!
Hey! I'm posting this on me new blackberry so no pics--sorry!

Have fun Sue--let us know the dates!

It's the first part of March. My birthday is March 1, so I think this might be my ultimate birthday present! Yeah, I'm like that cute little boy in the commercial for Disneyland(World) -- I'm too excited to sleep!
Yes, this was really nice of my husband's bosses to do this for us. Bill hasn't taken a vacation all year, except for December and that's because he couldn't get to work because of the snow!
I'm looking forward to seeing the night sky from out in the Pacific ocean. I do suppose they have an Internet connection on these ships? In between the eating and shuffleboard I might find the time to update you guys on our trip. I'll have to alert the captain of the cruise ship not to run over any scurvy pirates that are tagging after us. :D
I went to Chico's and spent $200 on clothes. These "free" trips are not free.

There may be a fight amongst the crew to be Sue Wench's personal porter.
What a wonderful trip that sounds like Sue, and you deserve every bit of it.

Ooo, wrist bands. Don't know about those. I would appreciate any more info about that. Need all the help I can get in that department.
Yeah, so far, Laz, I think I have to rent one of those cargo containers and have it airlifted onto the ship to get everybody smuggled aboard that wants to come. All my crewmates will be with me in spirit, if nothing else. I know that's small comfort when somebody is taking a trip and you don't get to go, but it's the best I can do for now. I was at Chico's getting those clothes and the sales lady said she wore such and so on her trip to France and really ...blah...blah...blah. I tuned out when she got to FRANCE. I just thought....France? She got to go to France? The bum.
Thanks for all your kind words. I feel unusually lucky at the moment. :) Maybe I should have gotten a lottery ticket when I was at the store.
Okay, I gotta go. I'm making Ina Garten's Cocoanut Cupcakes for husband's bosses.

Sue -
it's been years since I was pregnant, but at the time you could wear the wrist bands Donnalynn mentioned for morning sickness. So if your local pharmacy doesn't have them, perhaps a maternity store would.
And don't forget I asked about squeezing into your luggage first. Get in line, Pooter ;)
Jan
-
Yes, one at a time please! ;)
I'll try to remember and see if Rite Aid or Walgreen's or one of those places has those.
Sue

Sue,
Congrats on the trip. It sounds like great fun. My theory on the potential for sea sickness is that AN patients are tougher than most. Our brains have already learned to ignore the occasional odd sensation of things moving around a bit. The last fishing trip I went on, a gang boat off the NJ shore, about half the people on the boat where heaving over the side. But I was unaffected, and a bit amused by the land lubbers with two vestibular nerves who couldn't handle it. :)
Regards,
Rob

I've been trying to play detective since my husband didn't have all the details about our cruise. So I went on line and with the few clues I had, determined that sailing to Hawaii and sailing back was probably not the trip because that would be about a 14 day thing. This is a week. So I thought maybe it's one where you go to Hawaii and then sail around the islands. I knew hubby didn't have all the info. So, I talked with him on the phone and he says its Norwegian Cruise Lines (which was the one we were on before) and it's around the islands only. So, that should be fun. So no big journey across the blue Pacific, but that's okay. I can't quibble over a free trip, can I? ;D A lot has changed since I lived there back in the late 60's and there was nothing like that then. So it's like a week in Hawaii, but you stay on the ship at night. Fun!
He brings home the packet of info tonight. Maybe then I'll have all the answers, and I can relax! Ha :D
Sue in Vancouver, USA
-
FYI, I googled "motion sickness wrist band" and go a LOT of hits including places you could buy them. Does that help me move up the line any?? ;)
Brian
-
Thanks Pooter! I'll look it up. Sure, you can move up 5 spaces. Kind of like Candyland. :D
Sue in Vancouver

Woo woo! That puts me ahead by 4 spaces in the sweepstakes! ;)

My aunt says she is first in line, so you'll have to deal with her, though! :D

I'm sitting here watching this ridiculuosly stupid dating show called "Mommas Boys" but guess what? Tonight's episode is shot in the US Virgin Islands, my home for over 25 years! Most of it is filmed on St Thomas, which was my homeport when I was a charterboat skipper and featured one of my favorite small hotels, Mafolie, in one of the segments. Now I am totally homesick and it's gonna be 19 degrees tomorrow! Yech bleh!!!! If you missed it looks like they pick up next week with more Virgin Islands shenanigans at 10:00 PM next monday night!
However I am flying to Florida next week where I will bask in the sun for 5 weeks until the end of February, then I will stow away in Vancouver Sue Wench's duffle bag for her Hawaiian cruise.
Brrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

Darn and I'm complaining about 40 degree weather here in Texas!!! But 19 is too much for me. I don't like turning the heat on at all and don't unless it gets to thirty five. I also don't like sweaters and jackets and hats.
Every time I see a picture of blue water and sandy beaches I want to be there. I'm stowing away for Sue's trip too. I lived in Hawaii when my first husband was in the military and have been back many times since. I would be there in a minute if I could.............although the Virgin Islands look pretty darned good too. Stay warm Capt Deb!!!

We are going to have some fun on our substitute PBW! This one is Pride of America and you can go to this website and explore the ship, if you think that's fun. It's a whole 'nother world out there in cruise-land. Quite an operation to run these ships, and have all that food, and drink, and all the employees and such. I was exploring cruise lines this week and seeing some of the cruises that are available. Amazing. If you had the money, you could cruise till the end of time. Mexico ,The Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the South Pacific, North to Alaska, through the Panama Canal....you name it and some big old fat ship probably goes there.

If you do the Gyrosphere, we want pictures!

There are some rich old hockey pucks that just retire and live aboard cattle boats (sailorspeak for a cruise ship!) I must admit I would like to sail aboard the Star lines that have these lovely sail powered vessels. http://www.starclippers.com/ (http://www.starclippers.com/)
We here we are talking cruising again--isn't this how the shenanigans of this thread started up in the first place?!?!?!?!

Yes, Rob, if I try the Gryrosphere, I'll be sure to have photos. And then I will have to be carted off the ship on a stretcher. I'll just pass on that one, thank you very much. I just want to take the Whale Watching tour thingie. That would be awesome. We'll see.
I have to find those bracelets.
And Cap't Deb, I realize the "cattle boats" aren't probably to your liking, but if it's all I can get, then MOO! ;D
Sue in Vancouver, USA

That's why the PBW must follow you around on your cruise, silly wench! I must admit, if someone gifted me wiv that horse, why I'd be the first to saddle up!

UMMMMMMMM, think it all started with some vaccuming, and within a few posts switched to crusie talk.. I saw the preview for the "mamas boys" dating show you mentioned, looked pretty weird, the mom jumped in the hot tub with the son & his date. Guess were getting pretty desperate for entertainment ;D me thinks a PBW Crusie show would be much more entertaining.

Before the Good ship PBW sets sail for da hawaiiiiiiiii, it needs to take a detour to the land down under as the chronologer, who has been rather neglectful in his role, makes visitations to a couple of radiotherapists and another neurosurgeon (number 3,754) before he makes his final decision on how to attack the dreaded regrowth.
Set sail dear Captain for ye olde Sydney town and then a lazy row to Melbourne (only 1000kms due south) where we can go to a small town called Ballarat where we can get the crew panning for gold or plunder other peoples bounty. Ballarat was the gold rush town in the 1800's. Hopefully we won't run into Ned Kelly - the famous, well he is here, outlaw who dressed himself in metal from head to toe so he couldn't be shot.
Anyway, start the orders Captain.

First a little ditty I shall call "Ode to Laz's AN."

Couldn't have said it better meself, Capt. Deb! I'll just add this:
Run, AN, run,
Laz has had enough,
We're bringing out the big guns,
And now you're getting nuked.
Lock and Load,
Ready, set, aim,
Brain Booger's gonna die,
'Cause now you're gettin' cooked!

AARRRRRR ye be fine wench supports.
Just had a good visit to my Oncologist (does AN's as well - he does about 20 per year and has been doing them for around 10 years. Given he's the only one in Sydney that does it, i don't have much choice but am comfortable that he knows his stuff. FSR over 5 treatments he recommends.
Just after easter is my target date so the PBW will need a pretty good fit out sailing between the hula girls and the Linac machine (i know what i prefer) I think we need warp drive Capt'n.
Off to melbourne the good ship PBW heads (excuse the pun) where Laz is seeing the 3,754th neurosurgeon to see about the wonky headaches.
Chug, chug we go.
Laz

Well, crew, here I be in freakin' Florida and it's freakin' FREEZIN'!!! Not even 50 yet today! I got waxed for this???? OY!!! Laz, here I come!!! I'm stealin' the zapper outta Sarasota General and hoppin' on Oceanic to fetch Sawyer off thr Island and a'headin' Downunder to give yer noggin thet tune-up it so desperately needs! Sound like a Plan? Alrightly then! I'm haulin' me skinny lil butt an' hoppin' to it!

Geesh Captn'! Rumor has it that the Fountain of Youth is not far offshore from ya'..... me thinks we need to get to it before Captn' Jack Sparrow and his crew of misfit scallyways find it in the next movie, getting ready to be filmed! Let's pillage the map from 'im and go find it fer ourselves! Aye, Captn'?
-
Well first I'm takin' a bath in the bloody thing and then I'm sailing to the Island to rescue Shirtless Sawyer the poor thing!!!!! He's really becoming quite confused and growing a unibrow!!! He's much cuter when he's less stressed. Fountain of Youth here we come! Hold onto your pants Ponce de Leon!!

The news last night had a story on Florida with the ice hanging off the fruit. Sorry, Deb!! Hope it warms up soon.

Sue in Vancouver USA

Silly Wench! That be Hawaii!! Here we do the Alligator Shuffle and the Flamingo Strut (similar to our own AN Bobblehead Strut only without all the head turning.) My 83 year old friend Marge had me out dancing and partying til late last night and then up at the crack of 10:30 off to Venice to a craft show and another party tonight and another party on Sunday for her Birthday. She's hard to keep up with! I hope I have her energy when I am 83. I wish I had her enegy NOW!!! My head is beginning to misbehave a bit but I have drugs fer that. Folk'll just think I'm grogged up! No worries mate!!!!
AAAAAARRRRRRR
Capt Deb 8)

well, me thinks, Capt'n, that we need to find that fountain of youth so we can be back in our 20's again (and not old salty wenches that we are!) so no more brain wrecks or wrinkles (ok, speakin' on me own behalf on that one)... and you better be stayin' away from the grapefruits! I be watching from the crows nest!

Saturday I am going up to St Pete to visit friends and will try to stop by the pier and see the HMS Bounty, sistership to our own beloved Princess Batty Wench. If all goes well, I'll even get to board her unless they charge an arm and a leg (don't they know who I am--a fearless seafarin' wench!)Won't be posting the pics till I get back to NC in late Feb cuz the only camera I have is this here Blackberry and it don't do Photobucket! Poo!
I went to a Parrothead Club party tonight and won a Happy Hour sign wiv a cool parrot carved on it, a mini reef ball, and my 6 foot 2 girlfriend Capt Genie (there are bunches of us lady captains down here) won a size small Parrothead zipfront hooded sweatshirt which she immediately gave to me! I really scored at that raffle!!!
All for a good cause--save the manatees and clean the beaches.
Farewell for now from Sunny Florida where it was 71 degrees at 8:00PM!
Hugs,

Glad it's warmin up Capt Deb and you are winning all the prizes! Enjoy your stay and give all those blue hairs a hug from me....I love them! My granny used to live in Sarasota and I think there must be somethin in the water there...she had more energy and spunk thatn most 50year olds and she was 86! Played shuffle board and road her three wheeler every day and danced every night. She could still do the Charleston days before her death!! I hope I'm just like her...Oh I forgot she could hear perfectly, so she had gret balance. I may try the Charleston though just for kicks. Have an awesome time

I've just about got Dr Love convinced to move us down here. I am so sick and tired of living in those dang mountains and away from the sea!! I just gotta get where there are some sailboats and some ocean!!
Here are the lyrics to Jimmy Buffett's song "Hula Girl At Heart." It is my favorite song on his 2007 album "Take the Weather With You." Enjoy!!
She owns a window to the ocean
She has a pipeline to the sky
But earthly creatures rarely notice
When guardian angels pass them by
Like a gecko behind a painting
With hidden wisdom to impart
In a world that needs more dancing
She's a hula girl at heart
Photograph shows she is lovely
Her barefeet are a work of art
Her fragrance speaks of frangipanni
Yes she's still a hula girl at heart
With her pen and watercolors
Drawing fish and butterflies
Children always seem to conjur
Images they recognize
In the land beside the ocean
Where romantics seem to dwell
Destiny can set in motion
Ripples that turn into swells
She knows how to face the music
She knows where the magic starts
In a world that needs more dancing
She's still a hula girl at heart.
Song sing slow
Days gone by
Time can't keep her
Nor can I.
She has worn a wealth of costumes
Hula skirts to wedding gowns
Lived in cities walked through jungles
Always sees the sun go down
In this age of teeming tourists
Fellow travelers know her well
The darling of deserted beaches
Adds her rhythms in a shell
Her sensual and easy motion
Seems impossible to chart
In a world that needs more dancing
She's still a hula girl at heart.
sound like anyone we know............?

Capt Deb,
Me thinks Mr Buffet wrote that song for you, about you. Good luck with the talking Dr Love into moving you near the warm beaches and the ocean breeze... I'm trying to figure out how he got you into the mountains in the first place???
Hugs,
Brendalu ::)

I went up there as a hurricane refugee and to go to art school and he was one of my profs! I was the teachers pet.

Wait a minute, I think that song's about me!! I always thought I was some sort of Island Princess in another life.

Just got back from a birthday dinner party wiv 7 lady captains and got invited to go sailing for a week in the Caribbean in March! Wonder if my poor head could take that kind of strenuous activity or would I be down below and miserable the whole time? Ain't nuthing more fun than a boatload of women, believe me! The gals who invited me run a sailing school and are trying to fill the boat--probably 45-49 footer out of Tortola. Sounds like fun, don' it!!!
Capt Deb 8)

There is one sure-fire way to find out, and since in involves being in the Caribbean in March, it must be a good idea. ::)
Steve

Capt Deb,
I love, love stories! Teacher's pet, hey! I'm sure that your wonky head would be fine and if not the 45 foot vessel would surely lull you to a peaceful rest while gulping your meds. I say go for it! What an adventure....and we aren't done having adventures are we???
Hugs,
Brendalu
-
Well, I've had a stinkin' headache for 2 freakin' days and do I really think I'd enjoy haveing one down below on a moving sailboat? Yeach! If I was going with close friend who were willing to anchor up for the day if I had a migraine it would be a different story. This trip would be part of a sailing "class" and a chance for me to brush up on my GPS navigation. I think I'm going to have to pass on the trip.
I am, however, going SAILING on Saturday for the first time since my brainboogerectomy!!! I am so excited and hoping for a brak in the cold (60's) weather we have been having. I spoke wiv me dear Dr Love last night and he said that he was going to try to come down to pick me up. Also means he wants to look at a few properties! Yeah!
I'll let you all know how my sailing trip goes Saturday. The Wicked One-eared Wench Returns to the Sea At Last!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Capt Deb,
I hope this is the last headache you have for a long time! I think I am as excited as you are about your upcoming sailing thingy! We bought a little fishing boat to use on the bayous and worked on it Sunday. I can't wait for it to get warm enough to take out and just sit and fish! I won't be hoisting any sails, but you have a great time!!!
I hope those properties are near the water and sandy beaches!!
Hugs,
Brendalu
-
Oh yeah they are! Dr Love is spoilt by being able to fly fish right in his front yard up here. Anything less than on the water just won't do. At least hafta have a place to keep a small boat or a kayak. Beachfront too pricey but bayfront might be nice. Hey! I'd take an itty bitty condo as long as it's close to the beach! I go through this every time I come down here--I get into my "I hate the cold--why did I ever leave the islands" mode. Having the disabilities from the AN surgery exacerbate the situation, but I digress..........and this is supposed to be the FUN thread!!!
Stay warm everyone!! I'll be thinking of you while I'm walking the beach!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Ahoy dere all ye wenches and scallywags! This Saturday up in St Pete there be the biggest Pirate Party and Parade on the Planet! Gasparilla!! Now you are gonna hafta google it youself becuz this here Blackberry don't let me see the lil pictures so's I can post a link. It is like a big Pirate Street party and St Pete is about an hour away from Sarasota and is where a few more lady captain friends live.
Now the only problem I'm having is finding one of my friends down here that is crazy enough to take me to this thing! They all say it is a giant mosh pit and none of them want to be responsible for me getting squished!! Wimps! I sez! Guess I'll just hafta go sailing instead. I can always just buy me a Gasparilla T-shirt and lie about it! 'Sides, I left most of me pirate costume at home--couldn't get the cutlass and pistols through security and me pirate hat wouldn't fit in me suitcase.
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
Capt Deb 8)
-
Well, ye scallywags, yer Captain just got back from the Sarasota Yacht Club where she tore up the dance floor in a pair of 2 1/2 inch heels! Yay me wiv only one balance nerve in me lil' noggin! Danced better than summa them folks there wiv 2 good balance nerves ta boot! No headache either--yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!! Wish you were all here in Sunny Floor-eeeee-daaaaaa!!!!!
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!

You danced in 2 1/2 inch heels? Darn I can't even walk in them!!! You are the woman!!! ::)

I second that! I haven't worn heels for years - way before my AN - it seems the older I get the flatter my shoes become :D
Kudos to you, Captain! I wish I were in Florida too. Although I'm very happy to say it was about 50 in Chicago yesterday and will be again today and for the next few days - if the weather people are correct (and sometimes that's a big IF). WOO HOO! Guess I can finally get the car washed without the windows freezing shut :D Life is good!

Ernie,
Welcome to THE THREAD" , it's morning in downtown Oz, mind you, its not really a good morning here with all the bush fires and tragic loss of life but the one good thing that has come out of it is the quantum of support both well wishes, resources and money. Loads of donations are flooding in and that kind of support reminds me a lot about the AN community.
Now Ernie, you gotto read this thread from the beginning to get a true picture of the gang.

Ernie,
AAAAARRRR!!!!! Welcome to the only totally topicless on the forum! This thread is more of an adventure than a topic and chronicles the adventures od a renegade collection of scallywags and wenchesthat are the crew of a ship named the Princess Batty Wench. She sails around the Seven Seas mostly having a bit of fun and espe from reality. Welcome aboard!

We may have to turn this here ship around and go help them in OZ with those fires. Turn them into one of them there fire ships like the firemen use.

Capt, you betta be stayin' way from them there grapefruits down in FL but I want the piccies of you a-dancin in heels much taller than me! :D
Ah, the scallyway Laz is updating us on the terribles going on in Oz.... sending wishes and prayers to all those affected and hopes that all stay safe. Once all is safe and sound, then me wants my TimTams, frozen, used as drinkin' straws in me coffee.... :-*
Ernie, this is the free-for-all thread that has been 'round for too long for me to count on me fingers. No cuzzin' and the such in this thread, but as you can see, it's a mighty biggin'. Read first 6 pgs of it and it tells you why da captn is da captn, why me be the cursed cruise director and such. We be sailin' the open waters for a journey that we DID sign up to ride... not like the AN journey that picked us out of da blue.

Cursed, as always, cruise Director

Ernie, you gotsa pass da initiation test before you become an official scally. Actually i think Marci might still be hangin from somehwere as she is still undergoing the initiation test as well.
laz
p.s - the bushfire in Victoria have been awful - towns burned to the ground but the general public have been amazing - over $91m donated so far - just shows that there is some kindness out there outside of the crew of the PBW.
STAY TUNED
-
LAZ! YA BLOKE!!! Missed ya like crazy lately onboard the ol' rustbucket. Dis crew needin' some discipline, ye Master-at-Arms. Break out the feather dusters! We got some initiationing to get to! Of the conjurerererers and such. BTW I went sailing again today and then to a really fun party and I've right now got a terrible case of sea legs and giggles!!
For now I'll be staying tuned......

Cursed whats-her-name? :)

sheesh, Captn! You be too technical for me... it reads... *ahem*... "I wash my hands of this weirdness" -- Capt Jack Sparrow in Davey Jones Locker, "Pirates of the Carribbean - At World's End"

Oh Noooooooowwwwwwww I see it! I'm back on a regular computer! My buddy Marge finally got off the puter! Now THAT'S funny! I usually wash my hands IN the wierdness!!!!

And another thing....on ye olde Blackberry, this thread hath 621 pages of insanity instead of the usual 200+!! I calls it me Barbie Doll computer. Teeny tiny type and teeny tiny keys. Do not try this wiv a headache, folks!
Going blind in teeny-tiny land,

Your mad as a hatter Deb (lol)
But we luvs ya anyway.
better try and get my head around another adventure of plunderin and lootin and..... can't say coz Phyl the cursed whatever her name is, will censor us. Maybe i need to use Google earth to find out where we are?
laz
-
Wow! What a long-running thread. 207 pages. Might take me a while to read through it all.
I think the AN-Cruise is a good idea. I see we already have a cruise director appointed. Since I don't know if I have AN yet, I'd be happy to sit quietly on the deck and not bother anyone. I wonder, though, would the AN cruise mean that the PA speakers would only work on one side of the boat? And it would it kind of wobble into port crashing into several spots before it stops? I could help the entertainment director, if you have one. We could practice the SSD-shuffle, where we try to keep people positioned on our hearing sides. The band could play the tinnitus tango. We could have MRI day where everyone gets a scan and we could all compare them.
It might take a bit of planning at the captain's table, however, to place everyone so that a person with a bad right ear sits next to a person with a bad left ear.
Where can I get my ticket?

C'est moi! :D Good to have you aboard, you scurvy scallywag! :) read the first 6 pages of the thread to see how me and my mateys started all of this michief and mayhem and how Captn Deb can outdo Captn Jack Sparrow anyday (although, he's more my kind.. even though Captn Deb has cute, painted toes!)
good to have ye aboard! What do you think you can do for us aboard the PBW? ;)
Signed,
Cursed, cruise... oh, forgetaboutit! :)
-
hey Scooby
Welcome - but to join the crew you gots read all pages of the thread and pass an initiation test.
As for our Captain - well, i think you alrerady scored a walk the plank effort by suggesting a wobble into port. When she sails she does it properly - never a wobble - she'll either completely destroy the port or sail in smoothly - nothing's done in halves here.
(laz ducks for cover after an anchor is thrown at him).
As fer our fine lack of feathered friend our cursed cruise director (much shortened title) well, I'm sure she could employ yopur services (if you survivie the initiation test). The pay is, well, mmm, as a start, you would earn 60% of the cruise director's remuneration on board. Further details of this pay structure can be spotted somewhere between page 1 and 206.
laz
-
Laz! We don't pitch anchors round here! We whacks each other wiv wench winch handles! Or we love each other with wench love handles! Or something.
Welcome aboard Scooby Doo! Or should I say Ooooeey Oooo! Our Entertainment Director is none other than (taa-daa) LA David cuz he be in da Industry!
Now wot could a bloke called Scooby Doo be good at? Hmmmmmmm........Uuurrrr uuurrrrr oooorrr?
Capt Deb P-)
-
Geez. Now I've done it. I knew that I should have kept reading. Ok, I will stay up tonight until I finish all of the pages and patiently await the test. And now I've gone and offended the captain without ever formally speaking to her. I'd be happy to cook up a batch of Scooby snacks, if that would help. I really don't wanna walk the plank. The pay sounds good, but the tests scare me. I studied for a week before I had my last hearing test and that didn't go too well, either.
I probably won't be able to get Steve to knit me a hat, will I? Of course, up here we call them toques.
-
AAAAARRRR Matey Doo! The only toque-ing anyone does around here is this fella!
(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/rastafarian_dancing_lg_clr.gif)
Have fun readin', and better tie yerself in yer chair wiv a bit o' line so's ye don't break nuthing when you fall out of it laughin! A good old sheepshank works best but a bowlin'll do! AAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate-4.gif)
-
Arrr, I used to use the old bowlin' but now I'm told the figure-of-eight is better. Well shiver me timbers. Looks like I've got some readin' to do. Nice to make your acquaintance, me Captain! I'd best get ship shape. I see we're up to 208 pages so I'll grab a cup of java and start readin'. It's not a 3-hour cruise, by any chance, is it?
-
Naaaar matey! This be a 24/7 cruise! Aaaarrrr!!

It's illegal and as official Mod.. and cursed cruise director..... oh, just take a wild guess! :) LOL!
-
Laz, I think she's talking about a "toke". I'm not a mod/cruise director!! ;) Google that word!
My step-mom adopted a beautiful cat years and years ago now. She was an adult cat and came with a beautiful and different name of Ganja. We thought that unusual and interesting and didn't know, because we are not exactly in tune with the drug culture, that this was another name for marijuana. By this time, it was too late to change it, and the cat remained Ganja. I'm sure most of the people that knew my family hadn't a clue what it meant either, but we sure laughed about it when we all discovered what that word meant. And cringed a little, too, I think. :)

Hmmm, that got off topic a bit! :D I was mentioning about Steve knitting hats. Here in Canada, we call them toques.
AAAAARRRR Matey Doo! The only toque-ing anyone does around here is this fella!
I think our beloved Captain thought I was talking about something different. But, I was referring to a toque - as well call them up in the Great White North - a knitted hat!
-
geesh,
Now we have Steve knitting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what the hec - call those men in white coats for everyone - in particular that strange person who can't remember her title!!!!!!!!!!!
Laz
-
Well, we have Canadians, Australians, and Americans, and, on occasion, Europeans, chit chatting on here, so there is bound to be a difference in our slang terms, that's for sure. And that's why this can get really amusing sometimes! Love it!! :)
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Hmmm, I'm doing my requisite reading catch-up in order to join your cruise, and I must say I'm getting a bit concerned. Far too much talk about greek gods and hunky guys for my taste! Far too much! If there's not going to be some hotties on board, then I can't join you. >:(
And, either I've missed it or haven't read that far ahead .... but ... what does PBW stand for? Pirates Be Wicked? Please Be Wacky? Pirate Boat Women (hmm, now it's sounding more interesting :D)
So, as long as there's babes, where do I get my boarding pass? :o ;D
-
I believe PBW stands for Princess Batty Wench, which if memory serves me is the name of the ship.
And, yes, Steve is knitting! And doing a damn good job of it I must admit ;D
Jan
-
The Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench was aptly named by our dear Captain after one of our posters username which was Princess Batty.
Now Scooby, the rust bucket 'ere be filled with more wenches than scalleys so they kinda took over the process of Mathew being dumped in chocolate etc. (you may not have got to that stage yet).
Mind you, having met a number of the wenches and seen the photos I gotta say that our wenches "ARE RIGHT UP THERE". They make the Playboy bunnies look like old mutton.
We also have some champion wet t shirt winners so we don't need to look elswehere.
The view is damn good from the deck.
keep reading
Laz
-
I agree that the view is quite fine from the deck! I hadn't wanted to make that statement lest I find myself walking the plank. It seems, however, my worry was for naught. (I think the comment that we have some champion wet t-shirt winners gave it away. ;)) Why, oh, why, do I always seem to arrive after the contest? I notice that you neglected to say who the winners were. Must have just slipped your mind. I'll wait patiently for the list. :)
Methinks I'll find a deck chair and stay for a spell! Arrrrrr. Shiver me timbers.
-
trust me... as the cursed cruise whateveryoucallit.... I didn't plan the all wench wet-shirt... BUT, I did plan the all-scurvy scallywags, come forth, on-deck wooden plank hauling contest!
*sits down on top o' barrel o' grog to watch the contest begin!* ;D
-
Scooby-doo,
How do you do?
Welcome to our crazy crew!
We have males,
To "man" the sails,
And get us through storms and gales.
You never know,
Where we will go,
Best to just go with the flow!
Lot's of jokes,
With these here blokes,
And I'll tell you, that's no hoax.
So read away,
To pass the day,
And join our crew, hooray, hooray!

Poet-Lorryette of the Goode Ship PBW. Doesn't necessarily mean I'm a GOOD poet! ;) ;D ;D
PS
This here be a CYBER-SHIP, so's we can be anything we want to be. Kind of like what Garrison Keillor says about Lake Wobegon: "where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average." ;)
-
Wow! I've never had a poem written for me before. I'm speechless! Thank you!!! I have baked a rather large batch of Scooby Snacks and dipped them in chocolate!
What a wacky bunch of nuts! I mean that as a compliment. I think I'll fit right in. ;)
Hmmm, if the men are all good looking, I'd best be deleting my avatar photo else you'll find out the truth! :-[
Now I just have to figure out what my job will be on the PBW!
Oh, and can someone show me to me bunk? It's a might chilly up on deck at night.
-
Right-o Master Doo! Our Crews Quarters be equipped wiv chandeliers, tanks of chocolate, trunks of "feather dusters", and other assorted amusements. Other assorted parts of our Goode Ship will be revealed in the course of readin' the thread!
Capt Deb P-)
-
Sue,
Once again you have out done yourself, take a bow young lady (applause signs erected on the mast)
Now scooby, you gotsa read the pages to find the winner and let me tell ya a most deserved winner at that.
Gotto think of yer initiation test now - something different, yet challenging mmmm
Oh before i forget, captain feathers, my chandellier broke (now got a sore back) when my superman cape got caught - mmm, maybe too much detail. can ye remember who the puser be coz i need to fill in an expense claim form to gets me another, oh what the heck, lets go plunder a lighting shop.
The Goode Ship PBW sets sail once again, all crew are on board, there be a few youngens, middleens and oldens on board (please don't use my english to help playng scrabble).
Captain parrot orders the anchor be raised, lower the mainsel (have no idea what that is), get the lookout into the crows nest waaaaaaaaaay up there, get those oars moving ye flea flea bitten varmints. Row, Row, then the crew start singing Row, row, row your boat and the Captain falls off her perch. gets up and starts whipping the crew with her tailor made feather duster. Just row ya %$&^%^&%^&*(%^^%(^. The crew alarmed at the squarking by the Captain and fearing the plank, row real hard, this time with the oars in the water. As the boat moves the away from the clean crystal clear harbour waters of ... wherever, and approaches the heads, a huge wave approaches. The crew gasp, the Captain just stares with her jaw at her feet. It's getting closer, closer and is about to hit the PBW when.....
Stay tuned for the next episode - will the PBW survive the tsunami, will the Captain pull off another miracle save or is it curtains for the Goode Ship BBW.

Thank you, Scooby and Laz. My pleasure, as always.
Oh, Scooby, you don't know the half of it!! We are indeed a bunch of wacky, wonky-headed, nuts. Hey, it helps pass the time. ;) ;D
Of course, we are led by Cap't Deb, and that explains a lot, I think. :o And we have that crazed lad from Oz who now and then spins a whale of a tale. But the real test of being a true pirate aboard the PBW is: will you put your Pirate job title on your next resume'. hummmm? Will ya? ;D

Hey, I started a' reading through some of the previous insanity and it seems that our batty princess has been deleted! All of her posts are gone!! poof! I wonder what's up with that one?

Have no fear .... Scooby Doo is here! Arrrr, Captain. As luck would have it, I have training on forcible entry and can get most anyone into anything.

Hmm, peering into the chest, methinks you have some mighty strange stuff in here. Lots of feathers and what the heck is this? :o

Oh, the batty one is here... she isn't missing.... she's here...

Are the fires out, Laz? Hope so. And now you've got beached whales or somethin' goin' on! Crikey, we gotta save the little buggers.
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
You are right like usual Sue, off to the fires coz there are new ones breaking out and they haven't controlled them all yet. We been gettin' a few shark attacks too.
So looks like the good ship PBW is off to the land down under, God's country as they say. Although with CEO's paying themselves and bopard members record bonusses and then the company announcing layoffs or offshoring to China or India, - there is a bit of outrage here at the moment. I'm not a union man but support them in his fight. Ok crew, we got lotsa work and plunderin of the fat cats to be doing.
Captain, squark the order
Laz

I just LOVE the way you think, m'dear!!!!!!!!!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Treasure chest pinatas, filled with TimTams, up on the Lido Deck, after deck has been swabbed by the scurvey scallyways on this vessel! :)
Hey I've got a great plan for the good ship if the Capt. gives her nod of approval.. I saw prate pinatas ( shaped like a treasure chest of course) yesterday at walmart and I thought we should bring them aboard the good ship of course filling them wiv timtams or anything else that may bring one fun. How fun would that be eh? and then we all could take turns swaking the goodies!
Donnalynn

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR - no scalley does deck swabbin' on this 'ere rust bucket! this be a pirate ship and them chores be reserved for da wenches.
Laz
p.s - oh dear, may have sparked a stapler throwing fest now!

*throws tape dispenser AND stapler at Laz!* >:( >:( ;D ;) :-*

Ahoy mateys! Where were them pirate pinatas when I was having the last 3 pirate birthday parties fer me grandscallies? (Their Ma said "No" when they wanted yet another one--too darn embararrasin' to the other parents I guess.)
Hey I just saw "Fool's Gold" with Mr Matthew and Goldie Jr on the ships Telly and I coulda sworn it was filmed in the Virgins but where were all the sailboats? Turned out they was in Australia! Looked like the Virgins in the 70's before it got overrun with bareboat business.(That's the rent-a-boat business) In the movie the location was Key West and the Bahamas but it was darn funny to see them at anchor in Key West with mountains all around. Someone needs to do their research! Key West is FLAT as a pancake! Matthews chest and abs, however are not! Oooooeeeee! Can you say 12-pack! Break out the phone booth from hell! Melt the chocolate! Scooby Doo, you can dip Goldie Junior if you like!
While we're down there we can help wiv dem poor whales and dolphins. Da PBW luuuurrrvvves cetacians!
Capt Deb (http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate-smiley-12.gif)
-
Yes, when I saw that movie, I didn't think that looked quite like Key West, since the highest point is about 5 feet! :D
Well, crew mates, I'm off to sail the Hawaiian waters with my hubby. I may or may not be able to check in with you. They do have an Internet room, if I can find it! We leave Saturday morning and we sail out of Oahu in the early evening. Ought to be interesting. We are going Whale Watching off of Maui, so say a little prayer that I don't toss my cookies, since that is on a small tourist whale watching ship. Got the wrist bands, so hope they work. I better freakin' see a whale or I'm going to be mad!! ;)
Weather report calls for lots of showers in Hawaii :(. but it will still be warm. 8), so what the hey.
Anyway, have a great week.
Aloha,
Sue in Vancouver, almost in Hawaii. 8) 8)
-
Wow, have a great time! It sounds mah-ve-lous! I hope you get to see a whale too! Enjoy!
P.S. I hope you guys don't mind if I join your little party in here. :)
-
Always welcome, Anissa, but you'll be hearing from the Cap't or Laz on whatcha have to do to be a full fledged wench. We be pirates here, young lass.
Wench Sue, headed for Hawaii
-
Sue,
I lived in Hawaii for a short time (a little over a year) and the showers were very welcome and didn't last anytime at all. Nothing stops when it rains. They aren't belly gunchers.
Have a very wonderful time. I haven't been since 1995, but it is one of the most beautiful places on earth and the people make it even more wonderful.
Don't miss the Dolphins while you are looking for whales!!! Have you packed your grass skirt??
Hugs,
Brenda
-
No grass skirt, Brenda. Maybe I'll buy one there! HA
Actually, I lived in Hawaii from 1966 to 1969. You'd think I'd know what to expect, wouldn't you? 8) It just seemed like the weather report had an awful lot of showers going on. I think everything will be just fine. I remember on the days when the tropical downpours would engulf all of Oahu and it would rain so hard you couldn't see across the street, I would feel bad for the tourists who spent their life savings to go to Hawaii and they ended up with THAT week. I just didn't want to end up with THAT week!! But we'll be on a ship traveling to Maui, Hilo, Kona, and Kauai, so somewhere along the line, we are bound to hit some nice Hawaiian weather.
Hang 10, bro!
Sue, heading for the land of Aloha. 8)
-
Omg, Sue I lived in Hawaii in 1969-1970!! My husband was stationed there and then shipped to Vietnam, where he was killed on his second tour of duty and I had to come back home. I have been back several times and love the beauty and the people!! Don't foget to send pineapples home!! Have a wonderful time.
Hugs,
Brenda
-
Wow, Brenda. I left in August of 1969. Lots of Vietnam stuff going on then, and I am so sorry you lost your young husband to a stupid war. What a waste.
I lived right in Honolulu, on Wilder and Keeaumoku Street, which is straight to the mountains from the Ala Moana Center.

Enjoy!
HULA GIRL AT HEART
(Jimmy Buffett, Peter Mayer, Roger Guth, Will Kimbrough)
She owns a window to the ocean
She has a pipeline to the sky
But earthly creatures rarely notice
When Guardian Angels pass them by
Like a gecko behind a painting
With hidden wisdom to impart
In a world that needs more dancing
She's a hula girl at heart
Photographs show she is lovely
Her bare feet are a work of art
Her fragrance speaks of frangipani
Yes she's still a hula girl at heart
With Her pad and watercolors
Drawing fish and butterflies
Children always seem to conjure
Images they recognize
In the land beside the ocean
Where romantics seem to dwell
Destiny can set in motion
Ripples that turn into swells
She Knows how to face the music
She Knows where the magic starts
In a world that needs more dancing
She's still a hula girl at heart
Songs sing slow
Days zoom by
Time can't keep her
Nor can I
She has worn a wealth of costumes
Hula skirt to wedding gown
Lived in cities walked through jungles
Always sees the sun go down
In this age of teeming tourists
Fellow travelers know her well
The darling of deserted beaches
Hides her wisdom in a shell
Her sensual and easy motion
Seems impossible to chart
In a world that needs more dancing
She's still a hula girl at heart

Melt the chocolate! Scooby Doo, you can dip Goldie Junior if you like!
I like the way you think! Arrrr. Starting to feel at home now.
Just sit right down and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this tropic shore,
Aboard our pirate ship,
The mate was a mighty sailin' wench
The captain brave and sure
The scallywags set sail that day
For a 3-hour tour
A 3-hour tour....
(best I can do on short notice)

Hey Sue! Is that yer purty yeller longboard right there! My kinda surfin! Lot less squirrelly than them shortboards but harder to paddle! Just aim 'em downhill, pop up and ride!! YEEE HAWWW!!!!

The long board belonged to the life guard! No, I left mine at home, didn't want to haul it on the airplane. ;)
So, have any of you heard about the Kauai Chickens? This may have been the highlight of my trip! :D
In 1992 Hurricane Iki roared into Kauai, destroying property and causing chicken coops all around the island to be up-ended or whatever, and the chickens that people raised were "released" via Mother Nature and since nobody wanted to try to round them up, they were left to their own devices. They have no natural predators, so they have gone forth and multiplied over the years and they are EVERYWHERE. You can't go anywhere without hearing them crow. They are in the hills, on the sides of the roads, in the parking lots, and on the beach. They are really quite pretty and have practically become the symbol of Kauai. You'll see them adorning shirts, hats, paintings, etc. This one was at Poipu Beach. He posed very pretty for me, don't you think?
Sue in Van.

Sue, great pic...I know all about the Kauai chickens....we were there on a week long vacation a couple of years ago and loved Kauai. I was playing golf at Kauai Lagoons(Jack Nicklaus course) and there were chickens all over the course. They are the unofficial mascot of Kauai. I also recognize Poipu beach...we were there doing some boogie boarding. I remember having a hard time standing up in the water there with the waves crashing in.
Patrick

That palm tree is no doubt in thousands and thousands of tourist photos around the world. It's very photogenic as are the chickens.
What a hoot! Or a cluck, I guess you'd say.

Capt Deb,
I really like your new avatar......Sadie is really growing up, I hope her Momma doesn't!! You bring so many smiles to all of us, I wish I could send you something to make the pain go away. A keg of rum sounds good to me, but the spinning might be a little hard to take!!
You're in my thoughts and prayers...............
Hugs,
Brendalu

Cap. Deb.,
Could you please tell me some things about your life. It sounds so storybook. You are an artist. Right? You lived in the Virgin Islands. Right? You were captain of a sailboat? I'm catching some of it but I would love to know where you lived and what you did and I have gathered that Dr. Love is your husband. Is this a nickname or is this is profession and real name? I haven't been around as long as some of these folks so I am getting bits and pieces but your life just sounds sooooooooooo neat.

Cap't Deb needs to write her swash buckling story. It'd be a best seller! ;D

Garsh Miss Angie Wench, it ain't no big deal. Me Pappy moved to St Croix in the Virgin Islands from Cleveland in the late 60's and opened a veterinary practice down there and I followed him down when I got bored with college in 1971. I alternated between being a self-employed artist and working on charter sailboats and got a captain's license in 1979. I ran a big glitzy 51 foot ketch doing term charters, ran a day sailer, a ferry, and ended up living on St John for a while painting clothing and commuting to St Thomas and Tortola as a rent-a-captain for the bareboat companies. Then I opened a hand-painted clothing store on St Croix in 1987. In 1989 Hurricane Hugo devastated the island and destroyed my house and the economy of the island and I moved to Boone, NC in 1990 and got in art school at Appalachian State in Boone, NC where my Dad had retired to. I met Dr Love,( who is a real Dr since he has a PhD,) the first day of class! We started dating shortly after I graduated and got married 2 years later. I was taking Dr Love back to the islands just about every year for vaycay till the dreaded AN showed up! He loves it down there.
That's me life in a nutshell since inquiring minds want to know. Thanks fer askin! No need to write a book when a paragraph will do!
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate-smiley-12.gif)
-
Inside that paragraph is years of living out of a duffle bag, being a vagabond, seeing most of the islands of the Caribbean and having a pretty interesting time of it I must admit!

Hey Capt. Deb,
You are living in my dad's family's stomping grounds! His family (Farthing) was from Boone, NC, and there are still lots of them all over that mountainous area. I haven't been there in years, but remember it as very beautiful. Farthing is not a common name, but when I was sixteen ( I think I can remember that far back ;) ) I looked in the Boone phone book and saw lots of Farthings. Have never seen one in any phone book since then, and I have lived LOTS of places.
Priscilla
-
What an incredibly small world! Farthing Auditorium is right next to the Art Department at Appalachian State University. Before it moved to it's current location, the University's art gallery was there and also where I asked Dr Love out on our first date after my senior exhibit! (Cheeky me!)
Capt Deb(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirate-smiley-12.gif)
-
Small world , indeed! We used to keep in better touch when my mom was alive, and even went to several reunions. I know we are related to the Farthings there, but I would have to sit down with the family tree to figure it out now. I think my grandmother (Gentry) was from that area, too. Stephen Justus Farthing, my grandfather, went out west with some other families. Family story was that he was a might too fun-loving for Boone, and was encouraged to "Go west, young man!"

AAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!! I was up the crow's nest just having a look around when I spotted guess who at 90 degrees off the starboard bow!! Miss Patti Yootee! I took this video of her rowing across the Rollin' Blue!
(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/woman_sailor_row_boat_lg_clr.gif)
You all know she has been AWOL for a time now and the PBW is setting full sail to try to capture her and put her back to work in her duties aboard the PBW. Can't remember in what capacity she served aboard our ship, but I believe she could qualify as Chief Mischief Maker First Class.
Full speed ahead!

Aloha Cap'n Deb,
Yootee here, reporting for temporary duty.... went a spinnin again and wrenched me knee, may be out of commish a bit. Sorry to hear (one eared) of your tummy problems, see my post on your thread, been there done that one too. :-\ My ole PWB job was the headache fairy swatter, but between you, me & Laz, I wasn't doing a very good job. After seeing Andrea in slc and Anissa ome through this thing with flying colors, and knowing what I know now, I'm thinking the Translab is the way to go, they don't mess with the brain (mid fos they squish it a bit) and the haring salvaged isn't really useable. But I would be honored to take the position of Cheif Mischeif maker.... I can pop in from time to time and see what kind of trouble I can cause............. shhhh don't tell phyl
yootee

Well, if its good enough for Ms yodelayhoohoo, its good enough for me. Just returning temporarily as my mond is focussing on my upcoming radiation treatment.
This chronologer apologises for me misconduct but between the brain wrecks and the treatment to come, the story line would have been sillier than the silliest with a lot of &*(^&&^^&%^%&* in it and because there are kids reading this, we are not allowed to ()&**&&*(^&^&*6. I tyupe really fast doing that, perhaps the rest of the message should read ()**()&*&(%^&%$&^%&^%*%^*&^&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_*^%^$%^($R&^%&^%^&*()^+()_*+()*+(*)(_)_(*)*(&+

Awww, Laz, I think of ya and hope you are doin' better. Don't like me lads and ladies to be feeling the bad affects of the cursed AN. Wish I could make it all better.

Master Laz! We have missed you like crazy around here! I was just pondering on your whereabouts and whoop! Here's a post from you on the ole GM. When is your brainbooger zap? How is the ole noggin? I'm sittin' here in me lil cabin wiv a ragin' blizzard outside! I'm ready to move somewhere warm and sunny permanently. Somewhere where I can visit the sea or keep a lil boat to putz around in.
Hope the evil Headache Monster is not plagueing you today--let us here from ye!
Hugs,

Hi all,
sorry, it's been a while but the headaches keep comin' and the stress of my pending radiation treatment tomorrow has got to me a bit.
i don't know how many times i have recommended radiation treatment as a viable option to newbies but when its "you" things seem different. probably my main concern is that the volume of headaches will increase and that is something that i don't want.
Anyway, this thread is meant to be a silly and happy one so I'll try and kick start the PBW shortly.
Laz

GK is a doable thing, Laz. You've been through surgery; you can handle this. Best best wishes.
Steve

I'm with Steve.
You can do this Laz! Good luck tomorrow ;D

Hey Laz
Hope the treatment went well today, I have had my fingers crossed for you xx

Thx doughnut queen!

Wake up you scruvy naves, it be speaketh like Shakespeare day. There's also a Shakespear Insult Generator at http://www.william-shakespeare.org.uk/a2-shakespeare-insult-generator.htm in case someone cuts in front of you in traffic, like the goatish tallow-faced incontinent varlet who cut me off in traffic this morning.
Be-eth in good health,
Rob
(with apologies to Shakespeare - and Alls Well that Ends Well)
The AN's a beggar, now the treatment is done:
All is well ended, if this suit be won,
That you express content; which we will pay,
With strife to please you, day exceeding day:
Ours be your patience then, and yours our parts;
Your gentle hands lend us, and take our hearts.
-
oh, I LIKE that headcase! :) :) :)
Oh, my dear Laz... you been made a toastie postie! :) Welcome!!!!!!!! You KNOW I'm sending the thoughts/wishes/hugglez/grog/chocolate/prayers/dirty jokes (nope, didn't say that.....).... and overall good stuff!
You know how to find me, my dear friend of Oz... hang in there... I'm cheering you on!
*walks off, trips over office waste barrel and falls on face*

xoxo
Yeah, it's me, your cursed cruise director! :-* :-* :-*
-
A toastie postie huh Ms girly!
mmm could do with some toast about now.
Shakespear - nah, we gots to speak Klingon. That is the universal language of the future. Mind you, the announcer on the train yesterday could have been from Klingon coz i couldn't understand a word he was saying.
Laz
p.s better go and buy a geiger counter now.

Zap it, zap it,
Kill it dead!
Fry that booger

Hope all went well today and that the headache monster stays away!
Love you Laz!
Hugs,
Capt Deb
-
Thx Donnalynn,
Been having a rough trot since my radiation treatment. Headaches have been pretty bad and get very tired at the end of the day coz of all the neurontin I'm taking to offset the headaches.
Anyway, I'll have to try and get the crew back on deck to go fetch our Captain who's laid up in sick bay.
Captain, ye be better off with our drunken doctor on board the goods ship PBW than in a modern hospital. We gots all da cure stuff like leeches and natural remedies.
Get beeter soon Deb.
Laz
-
geesh! About dang time this thread resurfaced! Oh, ye, Laz! I'm sorry the brain booger treatment is getting to ya wif the brain wrecks, but ya knows that the neurontin may help. It's been pretty recent since you had the booger zapped, so hang in there and will send along a salty wench..... oh, that's right... you got a spouse.. ok, nix that idea! :D
Captn.... sick bay looks like its gettin' crowed, wif you and scurvy Laz and a few H1N1 peeps in there... so, we need you all to get well! We've been in port for farrrrrrrrrrrrrr too long and time to set sail!
Me thinks we need to set a course to a windy city... chicago? We could chart a course on the St. Lawrence River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lawrence_River) to get to a big meetin' wif lots of peeps like us is to happen in Aug... we got time to sail there to have a gatherin' of the pirates!
Whatta think all? Time for the PBW to draw the anchor... hoist the colors and set a new course......
Signed,
Cursed, cruise... oh, heck, I'll answer to anything nowadays... :D
Phyl
-
Wishing everyone in the sick bay to get better real soon. I miss our beloved Captain and I miss Laz's wonderful stories of great adventure on the high seas.
Laz, how much neurontin are you taking these days? I take 1200 mgs a day....but it is still a battle. The headache monster just loves me a little too much these days :'(
Sending many hugs and kisses to all :-* :-* :-*
Anne Marie
-
pt, ptt, put, put - mmm no steam in these fingers yet and the brain aint functioning too well. Currently got intermittant pain going through both ears too - hopefully that stops soon. - Might have mad cows!!!!
Anne Marie, I've increased my dose of Neurontin progressively from 900mg to 1500mg. I find the 1500 helps but I really need to take more. Unfortunately, taking more zaps me too much and i can't really function.
Ye "young", cursed cruise director, ye made me smile which is always good. I'll just have to think positive and get my chronologers hat on.
laz
-
Laz, when the ears stop a'zappin and you feel like tappin', I await our next voyage! :)
xoxoxoxoxo

Laz -
sorry you're having a tough time of it. Hope things get better very soon. We need some new adventures ;D and you definitely need some relief from this!
Best,

Awwwww, Laz. Don't know why the Fates picked on you.
Thinking of you in Vancouver, USA
Sue

Laz,
terrific chicken soup with maztoh balls to help what ails ya! Feel better.....
*begins to round up the crew of the PBW to hoist the anchor*
-
Captain Deb slowly climbs the rope leading up to the PBW and to her surprise, sees the crew all lined up, standing at attention, waiting for the order. The captain, walks past the crew examining all of them, spending 10 minutes, looking mathew up and down, straightening his hat, unbuttoning his shirt buttons, undoing.... oops, this is a family thread.
The hitchhikers guide to pirating defines a Captain of a sea faring vessel, that handles a crew member of the opposite sex to be lucky to be a Captain.
Right you motley lot, I'm outa sick bay and rarin' to go. Come wiv me Dr Luuurvve, we gots some catchin up to be done.
1 hour,, 2 hours, 3 hours pass by and then the Captain surfaces, crew still at attention but flagging a bit.
Right you motley looking sea rats, hoist the anchor, raise the mainsells, red alert, it's battlestations. Our mission crew, ah, on second thoughts, better not tell ya, coz you'll run away,
lets get this rust bucket underway.
So the PBW finally set sail but why has the captain ordered a red alert after leaving sea dock?
Will the Captain reveal her hidden secret?
Will the whirly, girly, dinghy, thingy, turn up?
Will Sue write another poem?
Stay tuned
laz
-
Will the whirly, girly, dinghy, thingy, turn up?
YAY!!!!!!!!! We're underway again and I can't wait! I got the 1-peg-legged sack races all set to go, battle of the anchor weight lifting competitors lined up and the wenches all set for the balance-plank-beam walk off!
btw, who DID steal my dinghy-thingy? Scurvy twit that stole my dinghy! I say 1 yr in the brig for them! :o :o
Signed,
Cursed what's-her-face! :D
(glad you feeling betta', Laz.... musta been my matzah balls! :D )

Captain Deb and Laz are back ;D ;D ;D
YES
Doing the happy dance.

As I recall, I floated away in your thingy-dinghy to head to shore for my surgery.. But, that was over a year ago, and I'm not sure I brought it back. :( I'm gonna have to go look for it.. Are you SURE you still want me in the brig for a year? *sniff*sniff*puppy dog face*sniff*sniff*

Captain Deb, surfacing after her loooooooong stay in sick bay, is rarin to go again and gets the crew to attention on the main deck (again). We have a very important challenge ya flea bitten varmints, we need to find the dinghy thingy that girly whirly lost.
After roll call, it was clear that Pooter was missing in action. Where is Pooter sqwarked the Parrot?
With no answer, Captain of all birds, gets a rush of blood and demands the good ship PBW search for Pooter so he can walk the plank fer beein missin' in action.
Stay tuned when the search for Spok, whoops wrong story, for Pooter begins. Will Pooter be found? Will the dinghy thingy be with Pooter, what punishment will the Cursed girly whirly face coz she lost the dinghy thingy?
Stay tuned
laz

Dare I come back just to walk the plank? Should I note that I've been riding behind the PBW in Phyl's thingy dinghy attached via rope? :)
Pooter (not really HERE, but here) ;)

oh, my Pooter.... yep, you need to walk the plank (after you hand over my thingy dinghy!!!!) ;)
xo

But, I'm already overboard. Why should I come back just to wind up back where I am? And, I have this nifty thingy dinghy helping me float. ;)
Pooter...
-
you be in deep do do Pooter!
stay tuned

Yup. At least there's a lot of water here to clean me up. :) Now, someone toss me a feather duster so I have something to defend myself with!
Pooter...
-
Listen 'ere buckaroo Pooter,
Ye not be in any position to be demandin the good ship PBW's main weapon to fight off evil sea monsters and stuff. In fact, The parrot don't like cheeky critters. Ye now be facin' the supreme court of the PBW which goes by the aptly described name of .............. The Hangmans court.
You should know that aboard the PBW, ye be guilty until proven innocent. Pooter, you'll have to respond to the charges laid down by the grogmeister.
Stay tuned when we find out, what charges Pooter has to answer to. Will Pooter do a runner and not front the HANGMANS court? will Pooter have the court proceedings waived and just have to walk the plank? or wil something else happen.
Stay tuned
laz
-
I'm anxiously awaiting my fate. :)
Pooter...
-
Court?? What court??? Since when did dis here vessel become a democracy??? We need a new First Mate obviously--someone to command in my absence. Any volunteers?? Only requirement is ter be a scurvy sea rat and be able to swing a cutlass, and we gots plenty o them round these parts.
Holy spit I look like I got shot fulla musket balls!! I got a hole in my side and 3 in me belly and look like a gutted fishy. Healing up pretty good, though, and feeling much better as of this week.
Laz, I'm doing me best Headache Anti-Jumbie Dance to chase him away and leave you alone and I'm thinking of you waaaaay on the other side of the globe.
Pooter, hang on to the girlie whirly thingy dinghy! It'll take you to some incredible places.
Phyll, see you in Chicago--I just booked my ticket!
AAAAARRRRRRRRR to all you scurvy bilge rats!!!

Holey Moley, or is that holey Debbie!
Good ter 'ave ya back on board. Pooters in deep doo doo, the crew are pi...ed outa there minds, the chronologer has been struck down agin by da headache voodoo and has put his back out (not through diving off the chandellier either dang it) so the good ship PBW has had a few false starts of late.
Stay tuned while Pooter finds out his fate, I also seem to remember that a few other crew members might be overboard during their initiation tests but hey, we'll deal with them a bit later. we'll wait for the screamin and yellin. I think this rust bucket needs a good battle - like a sea monster or somfin.
Stay tuned especially now that el Capitani is back.

Onward back onto open waters! Hoist the colors.... another port to be determined by the Capt when she logs back on! :)

As Pooter chucks the dinghy thingy overboard and proceeds to jump in it, weeeeeee - he gets a bad attack of the AN woblles and misses. He plunges straight into shark infested waters.
They are circling young Pooter who couldn't give two hoots, thats hoots not hooters (this is a family show), he has just spent the day, the previous day and the week before that with the grogmeister.
Suddenly a bull shark heads straight for Pooter - (drum role to the sound of jaws) when our blessed art thou cruise director throws the most lethal weapon on board to pooter. Yep, a battery powered MarkII feather duster. Pooter then quickly turns in the water to grab hold of the feather duster when he knocks the bull shark on the nose and it swims off.
The crew go ballistic (coz they are all drunk as skunks) and Pooter is hoisted back on board with the dingy thingy in hand and the Captain declares a day of celebrations and drinking games.
The grogmeister then informs the Captain that the rum barrels are empty.
the crew, now in a mutinous frame of anebriation look at the captain with chilled stary eyes. The captain sensing that its grog or her on the plank, decides that its time fer some more plunderin'. Our mission crew, is to source more rum. we be headin' fer da west indies.
Stay tuned when we discover ........ gotta stay tuned.

Maureen, Maureen, Maureen,
I'm sorry but unless you read all the pages, you cannot become a fully fledged wench of the Goode Ship PBW.
And for our blessed cruise director, smuggling your own thingy dinghy aboard the PBW is a capital crime, especially as you didn't bribe the chronologer with a % of your huge salary, and its walk the plank for you, maybe, for a small fee, make you walk the plank arouind the sea of chocolate, post 52,367 (just guessing) or maybe as we get closer to the windies, you could dive into a rum barrel.

The Perfect Drink:
1. Climb a coconut tree on De Beach
2. Yank a big coconut off the stalk it's growing on and chuck it down to the sand. It's OK if it's a little green--they have a little more water in them than the really ripe brown ones
3. Whack the top offa it wiv yer machete
4. Grab a bottle of Mount Gay from Barbados and throw away the top
5. Find a nice big juicy lime, usually a few yard away from de Beach
6. Pour a big glug of de Mount Gay into de coconut
7. Squeeze in de lime
8. Swirl de coconut around a bit--this also suffices as your daily exercise routine
9. Drink carefully--it will run down your front
10. Repeat as neccessary
Off to Barbados we go!!!!!

As the good ship PBW leaves shore for the relaxed lifestyle in the carribean on a long lost deserted island (that has a distillery) a distress call is received from the land down under by the newly formed Pirate party.
Captain Deb, never shy of a squarking battle, instructs the crew to "TURN SHARP LEFT YE VARMINTS AND HEAD THATAWAY. WE ARE GOING TO HELP THE PIRATE PARTY
The crew, being generally pi..ed as nutes, think that there is going to be a party on board for Pirates. Now most of the crew, being hard of hearing, usually get the wrong end of the stick so it was of no surprise to the Captain that the crew all go down into the grogmeisters cellar and get stuck into the rum barrels. A few of the crew, who shall remain nameless like Pooter and girly whirly, are hear gurggling as they dived into the barrels but hey, who cares, its one for yerself and yerself for one! - mmm, think I got that mixed up a bit.
Anyway, the Captain, flies (she is a bird after all) down into the galley, whipping everyone with the battery powered feather dusters and instructing them to get back onto the deck coz of the new mission. The squarks and feathers are flying all over the show.
Below is an extract from today's main newspaper
Hey Captain - I think the term Pirate is a little different here!
Aussie Pirate Party plans election onslaughtASHER MOSES
September 30, 2009 - 11:58AM Be the first to comment
A Pirate Party demonstration in Sweden. Photo: Jon Aslund
After winning 7.1 per cent of Swedish votes in this year's European Parliament elections, The Pirate Party has opened up a branch in Australia and plans to contest the next federal election.
The party, which will campaign on a platform of anti-internet censorship and the decriminalisation of non-commercial file sharing, has already signed up 550 members, enough for it to register as a party with the Australian Electoral Commission.
It plans to hold internal elections for leadership positions - president, general secretary, treasurer and their deputies - on October 7.
But party spokesman Brendan Molloy was quick to point out that free file sharing was only one aspect of the overall mission, which was to "bolster our nation's Democratic conventions".
"We've here to actively change the landscape of Australian politics forever, by advocating freer copyright and protection of our civil liberties, especially against [Communications Minister Stephen] Conroy's censorship regime, which is not welcome in Australia," he said.
"We also have a strong stance for the reform of the patent system to be much fairer, especially in regards to pharmaceuticals and software."
In the European Parliament elections in June, the Pirate Party won 7.1 per cent of Swedish votes, allowing its leader, Christian Engstroem, to take one of Sweden's 18 seats in the European Parliament.
The group gained significant traction in Sweden following this year's introduction of laws that criminalised file sharing and the sentencing of four Swedes to a year in jail for running illegal download site The Pirate Bay.
In the recent German elections, The Pirate Party won 2 per cent of the vote, short of the 5 per cent required to gain a seat in the German Parliament. Spiegel Online reported that the party won as much as 13 per cent of votes for first-time male voters.
Further, in the German city council elections held in August, the group gained seats in the Munster and Aachen councils.
The party has branches in 35 countries and they all co-operate via a collective called Pirate Party International.
The Australian branch is headed by a University of Sydney law student, Rodney Sarkowsky. He was not available for comment but told ITNews he would contest the next federal election provided he was permitted to register as a political party.
The party argues that file sharing should be legalised and, far from being detrimental to artists, was one of their best means of advertising their music.
It is worried by recent revelations that Conroy is considering legislation that would have persistent file sharers disconnected from the internet.
"Our policies are all geared towards copyright reform, patent reform, anti-censorship, non-commercial file sharing, policy in regards to having Digital Rights Management abolished and policy supporting the right to privacy of every Australian," Molloy said.
Despite its clear overseas success, the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft does not appear to be alarmed by the presence of the Pirate Party in Australia.
"It will be interesting to see if a party advocating illegal activity is able to contest the election," a spokeswoman said.
"If they are able, perhaps they could do a preference deal with the Shoplifting Party."
Online activist group GetUp campaigns on similar issues to the Pirate Party and has obtained more than 115,000 signatures for its petition opposing Conroy's internet censorship policy.
GetUp chief executive officer Simon Sheikh said his organisation might decide to work with the Pirate Party on campaigns but could not support any individual party directly "because we're a non-partisan organisation".
"In saying that, we believe in intellectual property reform and we believe in protecting Australia's internet from Senator Conroy's censorship agenda," he said.
A spokesman for Conroy did not respond to calls requesting comment.

Great link. Lots of fun ;D
Pooter -
vacation?? Now why didn't I get one of those? :D
Jan
-
Ahh.. it was really our first real vacation since surgery. We took 2.5 days driving from Houston to Topeka, KS then 2 days coming back. We stopped in several cities (Dallas, OK City, Topeka, Gainsville) to and from to do some fun things for the kids and us. Overall, it was a great trip aside from keeping the kids cooped up in the car for 4-6 hours at a stretch.
Don't worry, Phyl told me she was sending you the Leer for a week this year.. Oops.. did I let the secret out, Phyl? ;)
Pooter...
-
Wow! The moderator's jet?? I never thought Phyl would trust me with that :o
Someone must have put in a good word for me! Yeah, right! :D
-
OH? Did I fail to mention that she was sending a hot Pilot to go along with it? Merry Christmas! ;)
Pooter...
-
pooter,
I'm sure that Phyl made good use of "The Leer" at the forum, especially with all those hot doctors around. ;D
Oh.. wait.... you meant the plane.... nevermind.
Regards,

Pooter -
I'm at the stage in my life where a rich pilot would probably be more use to me than a hot pilot :D - but since it's not polite to turn down a gift, I'll take him.
Jan
-
Jan,
Odds are with him flying private jets for a living, he's probably rich too. Maybe you'll get the best of both worlds for Christmas... Hot AND rich. Gee, dontcha just love Phyl? ;)
Pooter...

Gee, dontcha just love Phyl? ;)
Yes, I do. Phyl is one of my favorite forumites!
Hi, Phyl :-*

Maybe we needs ta put some wings and a tail on the Goode Ship PBW. Then we gets to attract these pilots that the wenches are frothin' at the mouth fer!

Good luck with the post-zappin MRI readout. I hope everything goes smoothly. Here's a laugh for the day to hopefully brighten your mood.
What’s the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards.
Why did Tiger crash into a fire hydrant AND a tree? He couldn’t decide between a wood and an iron.

all year sounds pretty good to me!!! (hic).
Actually, this "dormant" chronologer is partying across the ditch in lil ol New Zealand fer some well earned shore leave. The pace here is very slow which is what I need right now. Oh, my MRI result came back ok - following the zaparooney, the growth is "stable" so hoping for some shrinkage for the next one.
To all my PBW shipmates, I hope you all have a wonderful new year and tht 2010 is a healthy one.

I just saw footage of the Sydney fireworks over the bridge and I figgered our Ship's Chronologer was there!
Say hello to Frodo and Sam Gamgee while ye be off in Kiwiville. Them Kiwis know how to party, now. I sailed wiv a bunch of 'em at Antigua Race week once. They ALMOST kept up wiv me. That was in Phase One of me birthday celebratin'--the all year long one during the 70's. Whew!
We got's another Aussie back here! Chris-wench, the Tim Tam Fairy Godmother and Official Shark Wrangler has returned. Welcome back Chis-wench!!! Yer bunk is still ready fer ya!!!

Not that I have any authority here or anything, but I say we celebrate Steve's birthday all year. Afterall, he's a moderator - and if we celebrate all the moderator's birthdays all year long we can have one hell of a party! ;D
On another note, I actually saw TimTams in my local Target store - there's a first time for everything I guess. Didn't buy any, but I certainly plan on it.
I'll bring some to the birthday party ;)

Since Steve is something of a "Mad Hatter," we can have an Very Merry Unbirthday celebration every day!

Jan,
One of the rules of becoming an offical wench aboard the Goode Ship PBW is that you have some tim tams. Now, the best way to eat them is from the freezer - Sorat like Vodka in some ways.
Kiwiville was a great break. The slow pace helps to unstress. I'll write more about our adventure a little later coz gots to go to a silly old meeting now.
hey dear Capt'n - the fireworks on the Sydney harbour bridge is amazing - you gots to see it live to get the full effects but with 1.5 million people squashed in the best spots, the tele is about the best option.
cheers

All those people squished together to welcome in the New Year always looks festive and a bit fun. But, now....I am happy to watch it on TV. My first thought is...oh my, what do you do if you have to go to the bathroom?!

Sue ~
My sister lived in Manhattan for many years. One year, she decided to go to Times Square for the traditional New Year's Eve shindig. She told me that it was a mob scene, freezing cold and tough luck if you need a bathroom! It also took her hours to get home (to Greenwich Village, where she lived at the time) because the thousands of people in Times Square all converged on the subway platforms and she had to wait to finally catch a subway car, which stopped at every station. She never did that again. I long ago decided to watch it on TV. Safer, warmer and definitely more comfortable. Some experiences are best enjoyed vicariously. :)

I'm glad your kids will enjoy seeing "Obamatar." To be bi-partisan I'll try to find "Saratar."
My wonderful grandscallywag, Duncan, who was born the night before my AN surgery, is having an Avatar party for his seventh birthday this Sunday. Dr Love and I will be looking for a way to make costumes.
Duncan's parties always have a theme and his Captain Nanny Deb and Pop always wear something funny and cool to fit in with the theme. He had pirate parties for his 3rd 4th and 5th, because he looooves when Nanny Deb dresses up and talks like a pirate, but his Ma thought he needed to mix it up a bit. Today I will be making blue tails and dread locks out of yarn. Pop is out looking for blue face paint. We haven't figured out the ears yet. Oh where are my Dad's old elf ears he used to wear at Christmas to entertain the neighborhood kids?

The chronologer is in shock. Writers cramp has hit hard following a post from Jim. I seem to remember trying to enlist Jim as a bona fide scally about 30,000 posts ago but to no avail.
dare i say, welcome aboard Jim!
Now Capt'n Debatar, your always flying off with the fairies so climbing the ladder to a dragon could be interesting. I must say though, i enjoyed those 3d graphics. Hopefully 3d tele will be available this year although having to wear specs on specs isn't much fun.
Oh well, hopefully the pic will give Patti some cheer as she embarks on a second round of surgery.
Laz
p.s - stay tuned

You know, I thought that was Jim Scott's first post on the Good Morning thread 8)
Captain, the b-day party sounds like a wonderful idea - and the costumes for you and Dr. Love sound even more wonderful. I'll bet all children wish they had grandparents like you ;D
Do us a favor and post some party pics of you guys.
I'd comment on the Obamatar picture, but I might get kicked off the Forum. I'm not a fan :-X

Well, I dug my old award-winning Sheena Queen of the Jungle costume out of the closet and my chicken bone necklace and matching earrings will work quite well for the Nanny Debatar get-up.

Well the Na'vi get-ups are finished and ready for Duncan's 7th tomorrow. I am so lucky to be married to a man who will spend 2 days making blue ears and tails and never complain. Now all I need is some of that blue body paint that the Cameron Crazies wear at the Duke basketball games. I have made a bunch of really cool leather, bead, bone and feather jewelry. And braided, beaded and sprayed black the fall hair piece that I used to wear in high school. I guess I'll have to post some pictures of "Popatar and Na'vi Deb."
I get my Botox for headaches on Tuesday. I'll be posting about it in the headache section for my fellow headachers.

The cobwebs have been dusted, the rust removed and Captain Avatar, parrot, botox head marshalls the flea bitten scoundrels of the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench (just in case anyone has forgotton her real name) to the main deck which was swabbed with rum after the Grogmeister was too pi..ed to realise the difference between rum and water. The first order was to stop licking the deck and listen 'ere.
The Goode Ship PBW has had a number of distress calls and we need to break away from the Windies and set sail to the fair shores of the United States of America. We need to make sure that Wench patti yodelayhoohoo is recovering properly and also the chronologers mother who's trip to the U.S turned into a bowell obstruction operation with a fight with the insurance company (yukko).
Git yer saggy rear ends upright, chest in (mm, not very politically correct) , heads up, and off to yer stations.
Now, ye motl;ey lot of flea infested varmints, remember no carbon emissions during this trip. The International organisation for climate change has a whole page in its report blaming the crew of the Goode Ship PBW is causing glaciers to shrink coz of all its "emmissions" and recommends baked beans off the lunch menu.
Now, row, row, row yer butts off. We are needed
Stay tuned - will the crew muster enough speed to get to the U.S in time/ will the now hard to find baked beans be the new underground currency for all Pirates?

How useful am I NOW? Bummer.. ;) Should I grab the thinghy dinghy and jump overboard again? Heh..

Pooter - Official Breeze Conjurer of the PBW

I've restocked the Rum and other required libations. After re-stowing the rum barrels on both sides of the ship, it's no longer llisting to port.
This week's drink will be Huricanes, in a tall huricane glass, in honor of the New Orleans supperbowl win. Who Dat! And we've replaced the bean soup with Seafood Gumbo and Oyster Poor Boys (sub type sandwiches).
I suggest that we imediately sail to New Orleans to help get Mardi Gras started.

Grogmeister

Off we go, into the wild blue yonder,
Trying to save people there,
Off we go, not to pillage and plunder,
But a Good Will Mission of Care!
Who would have thought our crew would step up,
Saving Mum's and cheering up Pat,
It's time to go! It's time to leave!,
Hurry now, no time for chat.
Then Wench Sue had a thought,
A good one, she thought, maybe,
After Mum and PattiUT,
We should go help Haiti.

aye Poet-Lorry-ate!!!!!!!!!!!! good thought!
*jumps in own thingy-dinghy, stolen back from Pooter and sets sail for Haiti while practicing French language*
Voulez vous.... um..... merci beaucoup.... er.... no habla Englais.... *gulp*.... domo arigato gozaimasu.... nope..... bonjour! Comment ca va? :D
-
Bonjour el Pirates, (multi lingual)!!!
Our dear captain whatever her name is this week (avatar, parrot.......) sees the cursed cruise director hijacking the thingy dinghy and yells "defecter!!! return to this vessel yer scurvy girly or ye face the wrath of all the fire power of the Goode Ship PBW.
Girly, who is rather strong willed and amazed at the Captain's harsh words, decides to keep going on her mission of mercy.
The Captain, who is still reeling from the after effects of her botox jabs, orders all guns to be aimed at the thingy dinghy. The crew, who are all half p...ed from the hurricanes and newly restocked rum slowly turn the guns onto the thingy dinghy.
Stay tuned when we find out whether the men in white coats will take the Captain away, or whether the order to fire on the thingy dinghy? What will happen to the girly!!!
Stay tuned
Oh, well done Sue (like usual)

A swashbucklin' Jolly Roger Laborador Retriever water bowl adornment!! Sadie Lady would love it!! We hardly ever use our you-know-what anymore--don't want to pollute our dear doggie's hydration source. I now make Dr Love pee outside--helps keep the deer out of the garden.
I spent a week in Haiti in the 70's while crewing on Swan 57 --we were en route from St Thomas to New York with the landlubber owner and a group of his landlubber friends. Hit a storm in the Mona passage and they freaked and insisted on anchoring up in a small cove in the Dominican Republic without clearing customs. The village Federales boarded us at gunpoint and we had to bribe them with most of our food, liquor, and cash not to take us to jail and sieze the boat. We then sailed to Cap Haitien where we put the landlubber crew in a hotel for a few days just to get them out of my hair. They had to wait for the bank to re-open so they could get some cash so we could re-provision for the rest of the trip. We took a side trip to the Citadel--a massive stone fortress built by the French in the 1700's--what a place. The people in Haiti were so sweet and friendly even though the poverty and living conditions were pretty shocking. No supermarket at all, only an open air market with vegetables, fruit, live chickens and goats.
A good place to donate is here:

In honor of yer dear Captain's birfday, methinks we needs ter weigh anchor, man the helm, and raise our sails fer a cruise aboard our treasured Princess Batty Wench! Our Cursed Cruise Director needs the work. Our Conjurer of Breezes (who else but Pooter) does, too. And the Evil Headache Fairy Swatter (Patti Yootee) could use some cheering up as the word is that she has a screw loose in her wenchly noggin! The Grogmeister (Headcase) be missin' and Our Ship's Master at Arms and Chronologer you know who you are, Master Laz) seems to be just hanging out in the headache thread and needs to return to duty as well.
Fer all you newbies, this here be the looooonnnnnggggest thread in forum history and is a great read from the beginnin'. It is really a hoot in places!!

AAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
Yer dear captain be soooooooo saaaaaaaaad! There ain't no more Loooooooooosssssssttttttttt!!!!!! An thet means no more Sawyer!!!! My peepers are gonna be eye-candy-deprived now. No more Captain Dimples!!! I just can't get me enough Sawyer!!!! Or beautiful white sand beaches that he likes to frolic on.
I DVR'd the last review show and episode--all 5 or 6 hours of it including the Jimmy Kimmel reunion show. Will watch it today while fighting off the headache I woke up with. Sawyer has always helped me headaches!! Member when the PBW set sail fer the Island? A few times as I recall.
Boo hoo hoo,
Capt Deb (http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/pirateface_crying_sm_wht.gif)
who is still wondering where the polar bear came from
-
I was wondering if we were going to have a wake over the loss of Lost and the hunks there of. I watched it, and recorded Jimmy Kimmel, which I probably will watch today sometime. I am now going to worry about Vincent the dog. What will become of him?
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
Sawyer is an amazing looking man, and gosh his I don't give a dam attitude, I love. I hope you enjoy watching the finale. I thought it was so well done. Can't wait for Aug 24 so I can buy the season and watch it all over again.
Did you see Josh Holloway is in Toronto on location? I have my follow up appointment @ the Toronto General on Wed, I think I'm going to be on a mission! Sweet cheeks I'm looking for you!

Oi, ye wenches, this is a family thread (lol)
A bit of nostalga - about 65,000 views ago when sawyer was dipped in chocolate by a buch of dirty "young" wenches.
Actually, this thread has been going for so long maybe we should start our own re-runs?
By the way dear El Ccapitain, my forehead is dry as!
Laz

Anyone wantin' ter see some footage of your dear captain's homeport for many years--just tune into Bravo and the Real Housewives of New York City!! They filmed the last 3 episodes on St John. Can't believe them batty wenches were staying at beautiful Peter Bay and all they did was fight and whine! One of 'em didn't want to snorkle because she was having a good hair day! I have seen the house they stayed in quite a few times, from the beach of course--pre-AN when I actually made a good living and Dr Love and I went to the islands every year. I lived on the other side of the island in Chocolate Hole (shut up, Laz!) Now I live on St. John's Ridge and have a Chocolate Lab. And I eat chocolate. And have fantasies about dipping certain people in it. Hmmmmmm.........
Capt Deb (http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/mz_0101_10034339657.gif)

Okay, where has the crew of the BattyPrincess been lately? I know that Captain Deb is in Sick Bay, but where is everyone else? Pooter, who is blowing the sails? PPearl214, who is the Cruise Director. Is there a vice-Captain to step in while Captain Deb is getting repaired?
Debbi

Debbi -
I'd completely forgotten about this thread ::)
Thanks for resurrecting it.
Can't speak for the rest of the crew, but as The Chief Troublemaker in Charge (thanks to Capt. Deb for giving me that title), I can assure you that I've been doing my job around here ;)
Jan
-
Well, thank goodness! Where in the world would we be without the CTC (Chief Troublemaker in Charge)??? Now, where is the rest of the crew?
-
Haven't you been to an exciting place recently?
Meet any pirates while you were there? Any pictures you'd care to share?
-
Well, now that you mention it ... yep, the Mister and I cruised (via Continental Airlines) to Ireland where we met up with fellow ANer Lorenzo. Food was a prevailing theme. In fact, perhaps I should be the Chef on board the Batty Princess... ;)
Debbi
-
We needs a chef! Matti, our original chef, has been AWOL for a while and we all bin starvin' and livin on grog and hardtack. I know Master Laz, our Master-at-Arms still lurks and we also need Pooter if we ever want to get anywhere--this be a heavy tub of a ship and all the engine power goes right to the disco ball on the dance floor or it goes to the giant pina colada/frozen margarita blender--hell of a way to run a ship!!!
What we really needs is a ships navigator! And a Hunk Wrangler to hunt down Matthew, Josh, and Jon from Mad Men--he needs an island makeover in a bad way--longer hair, little scruffy beard, a tan, and a pair of cut-offs for that cheeky bloke!!!
I'm ready to get away from all these quacks I been going to--2 this week, 2 last week, seems thats all I do is go to quacks!!! I'm sick, sick, sick, of it. PBW sail me awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!

Ditto, m'darlin... I trust you had a good birthday yourself. I'm still super swamped with stuff, but making a little time to come around here a little more lately.. Life has kept me VERY busy lately.. Every weekend in September was booked... 3 of 4 (maybe 4 of 4) weekends in October are already booked.. 3 of 4 in November... Maybe I should tell all of these people to come to your place instead? :)
Soon,
Brian

Birthday was good - but would love to find a way to stop getting older; other than the obvious solution to that ;) :D
Send people to my place anytime. Can't guarantee I'll be around though. Thankfully started my new job today. YEAH!!!

All ye' scurvy crew.
I wanted ya' to know that yr' Grogmeister has been hard at work, arrrrrgh!, restockin' the holds of the PBW. Here's a picture from last weekend on Bourbon St, durin' a college fact findin' trip. Hard work it tis, but some'uns gots ta' do it. Arrrrrgh, when does we set sail?

Avast ye scurvy scallywags and wicked wenches! I just gots me a message from a newbie Wench name o' Mary Ellen from the land o' New Jersey-- wanted to know what in the bloody hell a PBW was! Have no fear, crew, yer dear captain 'splained things to her and invited her aboard fer our next voyage out upon the rollin' blue. Needs ta give the wench a job aboard ship, cuz, as you know, no one here rides fer free except fer Matthew and Sawyer. We may need a new "keeper of the feather dusters and assorted other toys" and we always could use an "official disco ball polisher" fer the dance floor shenanigans. If ye find yer way here, Mary Ellen, welcome aboard and watch out fer Jan--the wench ain't nuthin but trouble and Grogmiester Headcase make the drinks WAAAYY to strong so be forewarned.
AAAAaRRRr
Capt Deb (sorry no graphics--postin' from me Blackberry cuz I be at the BEACH, ye bilge-rats! Jealous much?????????)

Welcome aboard, Wench Mary Ellen. Yes, Cap't, I be VERY jealous. Love the beach.

Enjoy yourself, Captain. And welcome aboard Mary Ellen.

AAARRR! I's up ter me arse in icicles! Time ter weigh anchor, hoist the main halyard, and set sail fer somewhere warmer than this hellhole of a mountain! -10 degrees windchill and a foot o' snow.You know they said I had my AN fer a long time--maybe it made me insane, so's I up an left me beautiful Caribbean Island that was me home fer half me life!! Now thet them sawbones has scooped the lil sucker out wiv the melon-baller, my sanity has returned an' I am destined to return to Paradise!! Anyone wanna come????

Cap't Deb, I'd be happy to join you on your escape. I've got the Tim Tams and the rum.
Sue in Vancouver, USA

I am ready.....can you swing by Portsmouth,NH or maybe HamptonBeach or perhaps The Nubble Light House or i could take over the local cruise ship The Viking Princess..
-
Aaaaaarrrrrr back atch Wench Donnalynn! Now methinks the rest o ye olde crew be needin' ter way in ter determine yer job aboard this here salty sailin' vessel. What say ye Crew on Wench Donnalnn's position aboard the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench. We surely don't need no snow shoveler cuz whence we go, they AIN'T no bloody snow!! Alls we wear is bikinis and cut-offs (and boots an cutlasses and pirate hats an Steveo watch caps.)
Should we gives her a Princess Job cuz she been through so much, or should we put the Wench to work cuz she be tuff as nails? Bein' this a true Pirate vessel where every wench and scallywag has a say in the matter, the voice of the entire Crew must be heard!
Btw--we ALWAYS picks up any fellow Wonkyhead no matter where they be, but we has we own Ship--gotta read this thread startin on about page 8 or so to discover how we founf her!
Now you dear Captain has signed herself up for MORE TORTURE (the things I do fer you rapscallions....) I'm a tryin' ter rid meself o' thes a'cursed brain devils once again. This time methinks I got the right Witch Doctor ter perform the torture ritual. Needles to the head and neck this time--definitely not fer sissies--but then again, neither is brain surgery. Nor brain Zappin'! He already performed the Torture Ritual on me back an I be much relieved o' the Back Demon that been plaguein' me for many months.
So get on wiv (Wench Donna said "wiv") it and find the wench a crew poition--no one here rides fer free, ye know!!
We be taking any other volunteers don't make me come conscript you!!!!
Me Torture date is the 28th of this month--remindin' me of the Sea Shanty--"All I want fer Christmas is big needles in me noggin, needles in me noggin....."
Farewell and I better be herin' from this here Scurvy Mob soon!
Capt Deb
(Sorry no goofy pic--Blackerry post)

I think I will stow away in the hold , hiding behind the barrels of rum ...
the 8* lows and 20* highs with ice spitting down on us is for the birds ...
it did start to rain and melt away the cold stuff but I like mud no better than snow and ice
I long for sand and sea and a palm tree to lean against a I sip something ...
-
Soundywench! If they be any wench wot need a sea voyage thru the Tropics it be yourself, me darlin'!!!! Ye can be the Official PBW hammock stringer-upper fer our ashore excursions. Or, since ye'v had much experience in the wranglin' o' cattle, ye may be good at wranglin' the Crew outta the beach bars. They has a proclivity o' gettin' theirselves a little over-served, especially when we drops the hook in Cane Garden Bay, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands! Just goes nuts, they does! It be the Calderwoods 151 rum, methinks!
Capt Deb
-
Since that Donnalynn wench is so disgustingly NICE and a do-gooder by nature, maybe she should be in charge of public relation's, handling of the media, etc, so's that the Goode Ship Princess Batty Wench and her crew can maintain a high level of good will amongst the native populations of islands that we plund....ah..visit. ;)
Just a thought.
Sue in Vancouver, USA
-
Donnalynn IS disgustingly nice and definitely a do-gooder :( But then again, it's what we all love about her ;D
Although the nice, balmy temps on this pirate cruise sure sound tempting, I'm the type who always likes a white Christmas.
So I guess I'll just stay in my port, wear my Steve original, crack open some Rum, and see if my local Target has some Tim Tams. If they don't, I guess I'll just have to be happy with the chocolate Santa that I usually find in my stocking!
Jan
-
Aaaarrrr Maties all this talk about Tim Tams, I want some, but I can't find them in this nasty snow cover land I live on. Aaaarrrr Lindor chocolate balls are going to have to do. Some nog and rum maybe too!
The Wench Yardtick.
-
Lindor Chocolates will do - !!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Wench Yardtick - you will walk da plank in da new year. Decreed by the "gone awol" chronologer, for crimes of heracy against Tim Tams, Wench Yardtick, you are hereby found guilty of the highest punishment on board the Goode Ship PBW and from this day until the ides of march (whenever that is) you shal be made to walk the decks in a ball and chain made of Tim Tams that is out of reach of your arms. Every night, a fellow wenchette shal wave a tim tam under your nose so ye can realise the errors of your ways.

I vote for some place warm and sunny. If the Tim Tams melt, so be it.
I think a few of us have a little too much snow right now ;)
While we have some - about 8 or 10 inches - I'm thankful we aren't on the East coast.
Having fun, Phyl???

Nope. 18" of white crap here in Metro Boston...... my 12" tall Pug is not happy....... me thinks we need to set sail for somewhere warm, tropical, where da heck is da Cap'n?

For those of you that aren't familiar with "the land down under" the climate gods have been rather unkind to a vast section of our country. We have endured 4 years of drought and now floods throughout a large part of our farming community.
Queensland (one of our states) has floods covering an area the size of Germany and France. Some towns are under 16 metres of water - kinda like the water world movie. Just to clarify, Australia has more land mass than the U.S.A albeit most of the inland bits are desert and usully rather warm. Most of the population live around the coast.
The chronologer will try and set the storyline going in the next few days, whilst getting used to being back at work :( :( :(
Laz
-
Laz,
I thought of you last night when I was watching the news. Hope you are high and dry!
It is shocking to see all that water covering such a huge land mass and the reporter said there was still a chance for more rain. Unbelievable!!
Anne Marie
-
Yes, Larry, Queensland made the National news last night! Wow, mother nature really went wild there.I hope it goes away soon.
Sue in Vancouver
-
Hi guys,
Thankfully the main cities (on the coast) have been spared the floods but the area involved is large.
Now for some great news. My lovely wife (Naomi) and I are having a holiday in the U.S in May. We will be in LA from the 7th to the 11th then New York until the 17th and then San Fransisco until the 21st. Unfornuately Seattle isn't part of our plans this time.
I must catch up on all the brunches happenning.
laz
-
Laz,
I hope on one of your holidays to the US you plan on coming to Houston! Enjoy your trip!
Brenda
-
Iwas thinking Houston too...
K ;D
-
Laz,
Are you still on dry ground? Every time I see another report from your country I am amazed at the flooding and devastation. This truly is a national and international disaster.
Anne Marie
PS How your head with all of these storm systems?
-
AM,
yeah the devastation is unbelievable. two thirds of the state of Queensland is under water. Queensland is equivalent to about 35% of the U.S in land mass. A number of peopl;e won't be insured either and the loss of life is just so wrong.
Fortunately I live in Sydney which is in the state of New South Wales. We are south of Queensland and whilst it has been wet, but normal wet. The country has just come out of a major drought and now floods. Its not fair.
Anyway,we soldier on. There is a tremendous amount of rallying for support in Oz which does show great spirit.
perhaps we should get the PBW sailing for the shores of Queensland to lend our support.
Laz

Laz -
I think you and your wife should change your holiday plans to Cincinnati in June.
It would be great if you could attend the symposium.
Jan
-
There is so much to see in the U.S and Canada, unfortunately we can only afford two weeks at present and have booked LA, NY and San Fran. 2 weeks is nowhere near enough but hey, its a start.
We are flying United and the reviews haven't been terribly flattering but hey, i think i'll drug up with the stilnox to try and sleep most of the trip so i don't focus on the headaches which I am not looking forward to.
We are really looking forward to the break. next trip we will do other destinations and maybe I'll line it up with the symposium. Date wise, we only had a narrow window so couldn't line it up this time.
Laz

My BFF from kindergarten lives in SF (suburb called Benecia) and Eric and I are dying to go traveling out west this spring. I have not seen the BFF since freshman year in college (41 years?) All this depends on if the new pain quack can fix my sacrotuberous ligament in my sacroiliac which got totally trashed by a previous quack who left me in a wonky surgical position 3 hrs too long. Can't travel with the kind of back pain I am having right now, although my headaches, thanks to the Botox, are behaving better than usual. Great if we could hook up out in SF--I've never been there before.
Whatcha think Master Laz?
Capt Deb
-
Oh captain - that would be absolutely fantabulous. We are in SF between the 17th and 21st May.
Hopefully your body will let you get there.
Watch out east coasters - sounds like it is party time

Spoke to our fearless Capt last night. She sounded good. On-going issues with her and Dr. Love, but they are doing ok. She noted she is going to log on soon to
harrass.....er.... say hellos. Relayed your messages to her and it meant a LOT to her! :)
She'll be here VERY soon!

What's her name!?!?!

Hello shipmates,
Since some are predicting Armegeddon, "The Rapture", tomorrow, I was wonder what we should do with our last day. Should we piously wait, or should we go out with some sort of rager. I'm thinking Margaritas.
Regards,
Grogmeister

Arrrrrrrrrrrg, Mateys!

Well, obviously, The Rapture didn't come to pass.
But IMO that's no reason not to participate in some sort of "rager".
Party on! And Phyl, bring the Good Captain. If she doesn't show up soon, Lori and I will have to start harrassing on her behalf.
And you know how much we'd HATE to have to do that >:D
Jan
-
Jan,
I don't think the "end" is scheduled until 6pm, so we still have a few hours to polish off the rum!
As far as the harrassment....I'm not sure if I know how...maybe you can teach me! >:D
Lori

where's that halo-slipping wench? >:D
-
Neither one of us get here too often anymore.
I've had computer issues and I know the halo-slipping wench is more a fan of Facebook, as are several others who used to show up here all the time.
I've tried Facebook, but I'm really not a fan. Mostly go on there to keep track of what my kids are trying to get past me

met up with a long lost cousin from new jersey on the weekend. She's an exchange student and been in Sydney for 5 months. We only caught up on the weekend 2 days before she flys back. She didn't know she had family here and it was a strange set of events that we got together but that turned out well. I'll get my people to contact her people and we can meet again
Good excuse to go out for brunch and top up my cholestoral levels with some good old fashioned greasy bacon and eggs (lol)
I have booked in for my MRI (well placed a call and waiting for a date). This will be the 18month MRI when we will know whether its been zapped or not. I've been putting it off coz a tad nervous about the outcome. Not sure i want to know if the news is not good

Too many drunken wenches aboard this fine rust bucket. The sailin be a slow one due to all the turkey and stuffing over these holidays. We might have to get those feather dusters out and be rowin' some.
It's a happy new year to all and sundry from way down under where we be basking in some very mild summer weather about 85 degrees fer yer north of the border old scale measurers.

Steph,
The quiz is mainly based on the first 7 pages.... and yes, one of the answers is..... our cursed cruise director was a major culprit for establishing the PBW ;D
It's the grog. It made me devulge an answer :D
Good luck! Happy reading!

Ah, it is so good to see the cruise hasn't faded and the laughs are still here! Happy New Year to all!!

Yo ho ho an a bottle o' Advil!

Just thought I'd bump this up in case anyone wanted to read this epic tome from the very beginnin'. I contains the adventures of Ye Goode Shippe Princess Batty Wench as she sails the seven seas and escapes from the reality of having an AN and all the complications what come wiv them lil buggers! Sail on PBW!

Well, well, well - Ahoy ye mateys.
Its been a while since master Laz has visited these fair shores. I think it's time to reserect the goode ship PBW and all the fine wenches and scalleys and set sail for them turbulent seas and some pirating we be doin.
First stop will be down under in ye olde Sydney town where Master laz's fine young daughter was married to a scalleywag that needs a bit of ship shapin.
Fist things first, we need ta sign on the crew. Captain Deb, present the crew, hoist the mainsail (or whatever), raise the anchor and lets sail this fine pirate rust bucket oops, vessel
Laz

Ahoy Laz, me fine scurvey scallywag!
The PBW ain't sunk yet, nossir! Specially since yer dear captain be hauntin' the actual pillagin' grounds o' Blackbeard hisself! There be more pirate flags down here than I seen since me Caribbean plunderin' days! Y'ud think it were "Wonkyhead City" in these parts! Why there be a 25 foot tall pirate where Cabin Boy Dr Love takes our tenders ta keep 'em ship shape.
Wench NancyMc even paid myself a visit--unfortunately she also brought a nor'easter wiv her so we couldn't do much playin' on the water, But she swore if she came back she'd let me take her out in the sound to get a lil' salt in her hair. She be such a fun an' personable wench, she stands wiv an open invitation here in Blackbeard Country.
We be takin' crew positions at this time, so's if yer gots a special talent, sign up fer our next adventure out on the rollin' blue--maybe we'll pillage anover chocolate barge or capture some fine scallies or wenches fer a dip in the old phone booth! (Ye must read this thread from the beginnin' to unnerstand them two activities!}
Farewell, Fair Winds and Following Seas!

Wow, can't believe you guys are still keeping this thread going.
Glad you are though ;D
I've been absent from the Forum for a long time now - just wasn't up to my normal activities since my dad passed in April :'(
Hope to get all those old-timers who defected to FB back.
Where's my partner in crime, Lori??? >:D

I've been absent for awhile...like about 6 years. But I'm curious. Just how did this grand thread end and what happened to the Magic Scarf?

Hi David .....
Unfortunately this thread has been inactive for a couple of years. With the advent of Facebook, the forum has changed from when we were a closer knit (no pun intended with Steve's hats!) community to being more informational in nature.
As you know, the forum does not notify you if someone comments on a thread you started or on which you made comments. You have to look on "new replies to your posts."
Re: the Magic Scarf ..... I know who had it last summer. Not sure who has it right now. The person who had it last summer did not check her email very frequently. We were trying to get it to little Adrianna, but I'm not sure it made it to her.
Hope you are doing well. Thoughts and prayers.

I miss this thread. It was sooooo much fun and how the PBW came to be ... I think back on page 6 :)

Hello to all the scurvy ridden scalleys and wenches.
Just checkin' in after light years away from the forum. Since I've been away, I now have a number of little'uns runnin me and Granny Laz ragged around the decks. Not doin' much swabbin' but.
Any of the ol' brigade around?
Laz

Hi Laz, Thanks so much for bringing this thread back. I skimmed through a few pages and enjoyed seeing the names and faces of those I saw back when I joined. I never posted on this thread but I can see why it was so popular. I don't see many of the old crowd, perhaps this Winter I will set up a facebook account and see if I can find some of them there. I post here when I see someone that could use some help from what I've learned over the years. I miss the friendship aspect of the board. Take Care, Jill

Good to hear from you Jill. I don't use facebook and I suspect most of the old crew are there. I did receive a message from Patti UT a year ago which I unfortunately didn't get in my email account and missed it. Let's see if enough of the old crew get in touch. Hope you are pk and don't have too many residual issues. Laz
