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

Mark if it is any easier I will pay you for shipping and handling If you have too lug 120 of these things for everyone it may be a problem. Plus I can see them getting bent and squashed.
Whatever is easier for you but don't mind paying for it.
Not to mention the fact I'm really worried if Sandra packs them. They'll probably be left with the shoes

Cheers,
Grumbo

Mark - where on Long Island are you guys from - I stayed for a long weekend in a house in the Hamptons many years ago and went touring around. In Sag Harbor the local sheriff seemed to be might interested in helping out us poor tourists - but it became very clear that he was trying to steer us to a couple of places which would probably give him some commission for getting us there. Nice and friendly!

You stayed in which Hamptons. There are 5 places that consider themselves "The Hamptons", all are summer tourist destinations. We are about ½ hour from West Hampton, I have a customer there who sells to the tourist trade. I live in the middle of Long Island. If you look on a map, my neighborhood is right in the center of the island peninsula...Mark

i love to dance but i have yet to go those Dance Clubs. Been on 4 DCL cruises and has not been there yet...It is no fun when there is no one else to go with other than DH and don't know anyone there.

I think the ships of Fools are going to take over the clubs!!!

I agree, Melinda! I too love to dance (but Martin's not too fond of it.) He'll go to make me happy, though. The clubs will be super with all our Fools friends!

Are we going to add "Dancing Fools" to our list of dubious titles???

Thanks Melinda - that's two more then

 

[DisneyElf]

Never mind the clubs -- how about the ship


It will be interesting to see how many cabins we have -- when everyone goes from GTY to a room #.

I asked DCL yesterday if I had a room # - but they wouldn't tell me -- just ask the TA. I had called to find out where we were docking in Curacao.

Totally awesome Mark!!!

Great job!

Dancing Fools it is - but does that mean we also have to elect a Dancing Queen

You can dance you can jive
having the time of your life
see those Sisters, watch their jewels
dig in the Dancing Fools.

Friday night and the lights are low
looking out for the place to go
where they play the right music
getting in the swing
you come to look for a king
anybody could be that guy
night is young and the music's high
with a bit of rock music
everything is fine
you're in the mood for a dance
and when you get the chance.

You are the Dancing Fools
young and sweet only seventeen (again!)
Dancing Fools
feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh, yeah
you can dance, you can jive
having the time of your life
see those Sisters, watch their jewels
dig in the Dancing Fools.

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
leave 'em burning and then you're gone
looking out for another
anyone will do
you're in the mood for a dance
and when you get the chance.

You are the Dancing Fools
young and sweet only seventeen (and again and again)
Dancing Fools
feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh, yeah
you can dance, you can jive
having the time of your life
see those Sisters, watch that scene
dig in the Dancing Fools
dig in the Dancing Fools.

Can't remember for sure - i think it was South Hampton - but it's probably 20 years ago - I seem to remember that we ate in a cafe / restaurant that was supposed to be owned by Bob Fosse.

I love that song! (The real version more than the Fools version but kudos to Big Cheeser for coming up with it!)

Pinkbounc

Did your TA tell you the #???? Wonder if i should call and ask/bug them??

 

[mississaugamom]

Thanks, Big Cheeser!

Love your version of "Dancing Fools"!

Mark,

The mat looks great! Count me in for one. I also have no problems sending you the money plus postage so you won't have to bother lugging them to CA with you. Just let me know the cost.

Reneé

 

[piglet33]

Edited - Now I need to add 2 medallions to my order of 7 pins.

Thanks,

Reneé

 

[piglet33]

Well, as usual, I am behind on the thread. I found a $5 off coupon from cafepress online: BEANSMUTTON

No idea how long it will be good for but it worked for me. At least saves shipping, right? Hope not too many have ordered yet. I figure we can use it again when the other design comes back up.

That $5 equals one more konk cooler for me - that's the way I look at it!

Found this on the May Repo thread. Hopefully, we'll have our design up and can use this coupon.

Speaking of the Hamptons... while growing up I used to like to drive to E. Hampton for a great hamburger at O'Mally's Salloon. Still there?

 

[RobinMarie]

Mark excellent job - I love it. I must have one! I sent you my outgoing flight info some time ago but am not sure if you are requesting the info again or not?

Talking of dancing - any dancers on the board? Could be nice to try for an evening in the Promenade Lounge if there was enough interest?

In chat last night we were talking about dancing in the clubs. There has been some discussion about which night to plan a dance off - the 60s evening seems very popular with this bunch! Dancing is a great way to burn those dessert calories off!

I don't know much about Zazzle but there seems to be enough matching outfits, pins, medallions, mats, lanyards going around to be able to feel a belonging to this group. I had not planned on purchasing the tshirts.

I'm waiting for someone to ask if they can have a different picture in theirs instaed of Andy and Hazel!!...Mark

Mark, I'd like a different picture in mine instead of Andy and Hazel please?

 

[Perdita&Pongo]

BHTM on the pin design is for looks, not grammar

Susan: Yes, I totally understand why John chose BHTM - from an art layout standpoint it makes much more sense.

I just made the comment in my post above because we had a whole BTMH vs. BHTM discussion in chat last nite and I thought Mark had done this matte after we (him included) had all talked last nite. Oh, never mind. I feel like I've put my foot in my mouth!! Maybe I should lurk more and post less.

Hola from the May Repo cruise!!

This is from TIKIGIRL:

'Night all - heading off to bed to sleep off the flu - got to go to work tomorrow - oh, and yes, it's Desperate Housewives coming on as well. Now if only Disney could get teri hatcher on board - oh well, a Brother can only dream!

 

[mickeyfan1]

Mark, you are totally awesome! That is one great mat. I know you will have lots of buyers.

As soon as Susan and husband get the design released, I can upload it to cafepress. She said it would be this weekend, and as I am going to be off line till sometime Sunday evening, the soonest we will have the ordering ability would be Monday. In addition to the shirts for adults and kids, I added in CDs, both Music and Data, a great way to have your poolside music on a cool CD and a nice way to store those digital photos. There is a cruiser who will have transfer from your camera to the CD equipment on the ship, too. Check the "other" site for info. I also added a journal book. And a tote bag. Happy shopping.
