8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 4

[captaincrash]

Missed by one again.

Was that a SWABBIE that got that mini?

Yeah... I guess that's me... a swabbie... I have yet to snag a 1000th posting ... let alone a 10,000th posting.

 

[JLDSMD]

? I thought it was "GIve Nothing Back"?

Did I miss something in the last day or so?

Ummm....yeah.....that's what I said.....you must have read it wrong.....

Oooops.

Long Beach and Orange County are the EASIEST and closest to the cruise--but not always the cheapest and not all airlines fly into them

I know SWA flies into Orange County - I have to check and see if AirTran or Jet Blue do.

Oh those 1000's are hard to time. Not to mention getting caught by that 40 second rule.

I think the Wenches cheat.

No, we don't cheat. We're just better at multitasking!

I've had the same suspicians... you suppose us male Pirate folks should organize some cheatin' as well? How do we do it? I think it is POSSIBLE... but I'm a bit of an innocent "pirate to be"... a rare "captain in training".... can't you tell by my screen name... captain CRASH.

 

[JLDSMD]

I know what you mean - but there is nothing to say that they can't hang w/us .

There we go. We can all be missionaries. We can convert all the passengers to DISers.

Boy will the CM's at reservations love that.

Okay I sent my Info !


I think the moto should be!!
Take What You Can Burn & Pillage The Rest

or should that be Pillage & Burn?

Burn the village, kill the cattle and pleasure the women. And for chrisake, get it right this time!

 

[JLDSMD]

No, we don't cheat. We're just better at multitasking!

Now I get it. I gotta quit chewing gum and walking around when I go for those 1000's.

 

[DisneyVegas1]

All the ones you've posted look great.

I think we're going to need a poll at some time to pick the "official" shirt.

There will be no Poll ....all are Official .....

They have to have rankings because they play in UIL (as a band), other concerts, etc. and some clarinets would need to play first clarinet music, some would need to play 2nd, and some 3rd (if there is a 3rd, some music there isn't). If they all were not ranked in seating, how would they decide who plays first clarinet music and who plays 2nd? 1st is harder, so those that play better are in the 1-4th or so chair and they play the first clarinet music, and it moves on down from there. It would not sound well in a concert if they had people playing first clarinet music that could not play it well and the better players playing 2nd clarinet music. They don't just practice and learn in band- they play concerts, at football games, etc. Just like highschool will.

It's not as complicated as I made it sound probably. They just have several bands in middle school because as of this year they have ALL the 7th and 8th graders for the entire town in the same middle school. Next year however they are going to take away intermediate school (which was all the 5th and 6th graders), put 5th graders back in elementary schools all over town (a choice I agree with!) and they are going to use both intermediate school and middle school buildings to divide up and make it into 2 middle schools, both having 6th, 7th and 8th grade. Doing it this way, I would venture a guess that they wouldn't have quite as many 7th/8th graders in band at each school this way- so they will probably be able to have less "bands" in middle school. Right now they have wind ensemble, symphonic, concert and beginner. I would imagine beginner band would be 6th graders and those starting to play in 7th grade, and with the kids then divided up between two schools instead of all at one- they will probably be able to have just 2 bands besides beginner band, we'll see.

But we had "chairs" even in my day- which was over 20yrs ago. LOL It was based on how you did on the tests for the music they learned. Those that did better moved up in what chair they were amidst their instrument (for instance clarinet) because they tested better on that music and therefore should be the ones playing the more difficult music (ie: 1st clarinet music). It makes for better concerts that way too.

Oh we had "chairs" and such, but the teacher in JH kind of just seats them based on grade I believe. And believe me, just because the piece is for 1st clarinet does not mean it is harder. Many times it is easier because it is the melody and you actually know what you are playing while practicing!I was just confused with all the different bands you were talking about.

Well, you know we could get the UK guys and Darth to start another rugby discussion. It might be enough to chase the ladies away if all they see is "blah blah blah rugby". Or maybe we could talk about cars or some other manly discussion topic and bore them to sleep.

Boy will the CM's at reservations love that.

I can hear it now:

"I'm calling to get my dining time moved from WLE to early"
"There is no availability, you will have to wait"
"I was just informed that several people have done it"
"No one is getting early dining at this time"
"Well, I read the DIS and I know that it is available"
"The DIS AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOT ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Aye Aye Captain. (we need a saluting smiley)

 

[captaincrash]

It looks like us Pirate men wanna-be folk are gonna have to step it up to sieze a few more "pirate" 1000th markers... time to hit the tech manuals boys....

 

[DisneyVegas1]

Got it.

Have we decided if the front logo is going to be on the pocket or across the whole chest?

Across the whole chest ...the bigger the better ...LOL

Ship sails out of San Pedro--close to Long Beach or Orange County

Just popping in to say HI mateys.

The freezing temps and overnight snow we had has finally caught to me. I had a horrible day, I've been up since before 4am because of the pain and stiffness in my left knee. I just resorted to taking a pain pill, and will be in dreamland very shortly.

I'll catch up with y'all later.

Andy!

Yeah, because there aren't that many left to get.

Let's see, we're doing about 1K a day now, so in the approx. 557 days we have left the score will be:

Wenches 565
Captain 3
Swabbies 1

My only problem with that is ....

1) I'm not a rugby fan
2) I'm not a car fan

But I am a fan of many other techno things... and I suspect some of the wenches may be tech savvy. We need some other strategy to dominate the board. maybe we can change the background of the whole board to some un-feminine color through creative hacking. Do we have a skilled hacker among our ranks?
