August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS Part 2

[Grumbo]

Doris told me I could take my "Taking out the Garbage" T shirt, which has lime green on it if there is old Guacamole lying around but that is probably the only way we'll be wearing Lime Green T shirts
Someone mentioned lanyards. Sorry not my idea, but a good one. Who was that and what is the scoop on this?

Cheers,
Grumbo

Speaking of photos, here is a link to some of my favorites that I have taken. Photos by Tracy

Nice photos Tracy!

No snow up here in the Great Northwest, just fog.

All you people on the east coast take care!

We talked about this again last night. We could order them for around $2.05 per lanyard. Still kicking around the idea. We need someone who can sew that wants to make them! On Cruisetoberfest, one person made them. They were black with green lettering. We also had laminated name tags. As for the nametags, we could use Renee's design for the shirts (or another design if we want) and forward it to everyone by e-mail, have each of us add our name and DISboard name or relation (i.e. Bill, Winotracy's DH) and then we could all make our own and laminate them (those laminating kits that don't need a laminator work fine). Don't know about the lanyards though. That's alot of money for someone to pay for all of them at once, but ordering them individually may not work for the company. Any thoughts?

Great photos Tracy!!!!
Like the one at Serenity Beach. The changes in colour are wonderful. The cloud one is great too.
What type of camera are you using.

Cheers,
Grumbo

Thanks! The pictures were taken with a HP850. Sold that to my sister and got a HP945 this year. The one from the contest was taken with the new camera.

I enjoyed all the photos from Jazz to Mel to Tracy!!! Thanks for sharing everyone! Stay warm, bet a big pot of chili would taste good to most of you today!

(PS I was working on customizing Andy's Ship of Fools shirts. Anybody else ordering these? In white or lime green?)

Has anyone heard from Mark or Sandra?

I volunteered to research the lanyards. We can get 100 Lime Green with "Ship of Fools, 2005" on them for $2.05 each. The price goes down after that to $1.75 for 250. If Tracy will add it to the email, then I will see if we have enough interest. I have used this supplier in the past, they are dependable, very good quality items, and I have never had any problems with shipping. Here is what they look like:

There are others at the site, but these are the only ones available in Lime Green. If anyone has a better idea, let me know.

As far as name tags/badges........................I have a Guest of Honor Name Badge from WDW, I have 2 DIS badge/pins. I don't have the where with all to make them, but maybe someone could figure out how to attach a pin pack to the Home Depot Mickey Heads?

 

[ivanova]

put me down for 3 lanyards

 

[mickeyfan1]

I think if we do the lanyards I will have them to pass out at Marks DIS meet. How does that sound?

 

[Bmwdsny]

i'll get 4 lanyards..

oh, BTW, just on news...Johnny Carson just died...

 

[Luv2Dream]

Wow, that's a shocker. I really enjoyed Johnny Carson. He completely disappeared from public life when he left the show. He always made me laugh.

I took the advice of some very respected members of this thread and transferred my reservation from DCL to AST. The gentleman on the phone was very nice. I told him what glowing reviews they had received. He was very pleased. Thanks for the tip.

 

[sandygirl]

LYNN - Did AST give you the stateroom credit? Just wondering.

HI MARSHA ,
I would also be interested in the lanyards. I'd need 4. I've been sopping eBay for pins. I got some great deals but no lanyards to put them on. Lime green ones would be perfect! Great idea!

Here is another thing we're looking at doing while in L.A.. If you're a film fan I think this may be a great tour.

Marsha, we would order 4 lanyards if this works out. Thanks for doing this!

[kmiles]

Denise, one more post and you'll be at 100!

 

[Luv2Dream]

Darlene, Yes they did.

A friend of mine just sent this to me and I found it very amusing. I thought I'd share....not that any of it applies to the men of our cruise.

Lynn, I am so glad it worked out for you - free money!

We would love 2 lanyards! If I should respond via email I shall!
