Actually, come to think of it, when I meet you for the first time I'll say to you in front of all your Brit friends, "Hey Chris, I have your fanny pack for you". Or, "I like your fanny pack". Or, "Do you like my fanny pack? You can hold it if you like."

I vote for the last one!!!!

I'll be sure to have the video recorder on.......great footage for Cass to use in Episode 2!!!!!

I agree, if anyone is able to get incriminating photos/video....make sure you send it to me

AFEG = "A Fannypacked English Gent"

What, did I scare everyone away?

I'm leaving work now, DS has baseball at 6:00, so if you post 197 times before 8:00 p.m. CDT tonight, I will miss the 1,000th page.

I'll be working late, however, so if I will try to catch up with the night owls tonight.

Chris don't YOU have a fanny pack?

You know with all this talk about hugging, humping and VD, we may scare Susan off. Hope she's read back about a month or so by now.

Yes... me and my "POLE" will run and hide somewhere....LOL I have read back... or forward.. I think my pages are backwards... I am always on page one.... no matter how much I read.... hmmm...

 

[MomsOf2boys]

ATTENTION EVERYONE - join our DIS TAG game - its fun and will be a hoot for the kids to get prepare for and to enjoy throughout the cruise

I do not know what DIS Tag is. I don't know if I want to play if you get VD.

Susan,

I am one that promotes Tuesday night as the best night to go to Palo for dinner. ).

Tuesday it is! Sold. LOL Thanks for the advice.

Boarding starts at Noon but you can get into the Building to get your boarding number and fill otu forms around 10am. So if you arrive at noon you may not get on until 1pm or so. Arrive early, get on early - the fun thing about getting on the ship early is tht the pools are open and wont be crowded

Ok... we are picking up my nephews in Jacksonville, Florida so we will leave from there in the morning. We are Category 2 so I think we don't have as long of a wait.

Let me,let me I'll do it..."We are gathered here today to say goodbye to"...Oops sorry wrong service or is it?....

Oh Chris...

Susan, As Mother Goose of the KK's I feel compelled to apologize for the antics of our one and only "Elusive Pimpernal" (Chris) and Beefcake (Jeff). Such "potty talk" is not the norm for our squeeky clean thread.

Now, the boys may try to blame this all on our sweet and precious little Cass but pay no attention to any of that. Because....

Susan, Here is the post I wrote up on DIStag. Read through it and see if it sounds like something you want to join in on. Right now we have 16 KK's playing. You would have to bring along 15 gifts to play tag with.

I made a few adjustments to the original post below.


From Page 367 Post #5496

As promised, here are the rules of the DIStag game for the new Konked Kruisers.

I think we need to set a deadline for participating as some of our KK's are leaving home up to 2 weeks before cruising and they'll need the updated list. So how does August 1st sound? Anyone wanting to play with us will have to let us know by then. Fair enough?



All DIStag participants will purchase a small gift from their hometown to give to all taggers. We will receive a spread sheet made up by your's truly, at our first DISmeet (time and place still to be determined). In addition to the spread sheet you will receive some sort of magnet. The list will look something like this:

JLDSMD Jeff Cabin 1234
cntkg1 Nancy Cabin 6576
oybolshoi Brenda Cabin 6580
LindyLoo Linda Cabin 4321
etc.....

You will start with the person listed directly below your name. Deliver your "gift" and leave the magnet at the top of their cabin door. Should your "gift" be too large to fit in the 'fish mail holder', locate any Stateroom Host/ess and request they take your gift directly into the room. When someone leaves you a gift and the magnet, deliver your surprise and received magnet to the next person on your list-and so on. When you get to the last person 'participating' at the bottom of the page (LindyLoo in our example)...start at the top of the list (JLDSMD). Continue until you get to the person listed above YOUR name.

So if I've still managed to confuse you, this is the skinny of it all...

Jeff takes one of his gifts and his magnet. He tags Nancy's door with the magnet and puts his gift on the 'fish mail holder'. Now he waits until someone tags his door. (In our example LindyLoo would start with Jeff). He will take that new magnet and a new gift and tag Brenda's door. He waits again until he gets tagged and then tags Linda's door and leaves behind a gift.

We all start the game at the same time.

So this means if we have 20 DISers who want to play tag, we will each have to bring 19 little gifts.

We have all week to play and we'd probably cut it off on Thursday. Any leftover gifts at that point can just be left on fish mail holders without tagging with the magnets.

When we played this on our other cruise the gifts were anything from personalized pencils, bumper stickers, candy, yummy hometown recipes (Yorkshire pudding mmmmm), keychains, playing cards etc.... Most were packed in gift baggies and labeled with the name of the DISer who left it behind.

It really was tons of fun (for us anyway) and we only ran into one snag. One DISer's entire family got sick and he had to bail on us halfway through the game. We all just continued on anyway without the magnets.


Still confused? That's ok..so am I!!

Nancy,

Glad you agree mmmmmbop.

 

[cntkg1]

Less than 4 more hours and our family drops into the double digits. 99 more days!!

Far cry from my first post on this thread where it was way over 500 days!

Yippy Cable is up and running. I am so excited. I have been on about 30 minutes now and I have gone to Netzero to try to disconnect service. Couldn't do it because their system is down. I have gone to my bank site and balance my check book, I have checked my email, and gone to the dis cruise site just to see how long it took to load. I am so productive now.

 

[MinnMick01]

Carrie is usually on late at night.........and Cass.

Sorry girls, I had a moms night out last night. First one in a long while. I did not get home until about 11:00.

 

[Wine Diva]

Hey, I just noticed I went over 3,500 posts today and over 2,000 post on this thread.

As for other milestones,

Victoria, your last post was number 100 on this thread.

Cass, you went over 700 recently.

Nancy, you're 1,001 pennies short of $10. No, you're 16 posts short of 1,400, and btw, with Karen off the board for a while, you could catch up to her.

Robin/Mike you are 12 short of 600.

For the VD, I always get your names mixed up, 3P&T your at 621 and GF your at 588. Still a close race. Who's going to get to 1,000 first?

Yea for me, aren't I the pathetic loser @ only 100!

 

[MinnMick01]

Woooo Carrie! Girls night out on a Tuesday...you go girl!!

I won't be doing that one again. I am still paying the price for it.

Ok... so there are more than one magnet if we all start at once... what is fish mail ??? I didn't recall a mailbox before...hahaha Ok... I would like to play... and I should find something that is hometownish as a gift... ?? Are we not supposed to get caught putting it out? Too funny. =)

Good Morning Chris & Missy =) ::: checking her list twice::::

I need to call to book things and just feel like I am not sure which to book and do we want to book things or go on our own. Like with Palo... not sure what night to book so we don't miss too much... and is brunch or tea worth booking....

Also thinking about doing the small Mayan Ruins and beach so the boys will get a little education in without doing the whole day thing going into Mexico. Has anyone done that excursion?

At Castaway Cay I think they all want to snorkel so that is easy enough.

Everyone says, "What ever you want us to do..." So that leaves me holding the bag. hahahahahahaha

Susan,

I was thinking of doing that small Mayan ruin thingie too. Tulum is just too much for our 5 year old, but I think our 10 year old would love to see some ruins. He has said for years that he wants to be a geologist. I know it's not the same thing, but he loves science and history. The small Mayan ruin tour does NOT get good reviews in the Passporter, so I'm not sure what to do.

 

[MinnMick01]

Scott here, So sorry. And I am the one that proof reads Carrie's stuff. Also the kids school papers. I will watch it from now on.


Hows little one doing?

Cass

Did I get them fixed?

I was wondering who Mother Goose was. =)
