only???13 more sails till sept 14 wonder??

[fireplug]

Stacy that gives me an idea
Maybe we should put in for goverment funding for our "science"project..........

The Sept 14th Report
It is our intent to study and determine possible harmful effects on the human eyes from viewing females in thong swimsuits. This study will be conducted to the highest degrees of research and will make use of multiple standard scientific methods and types of equipment. This may be a two part study the first part being the effects of viewing attractive women in a high intensity solar area such as a tropical island, the second, more dangerous, the effects of being caught by spouses while doing said reseach. We anticipate the first part to be highly enjoyable and have few if any negative effects. The second part is fraught with posiblities of serious bodily harm. All documentation will be made available to the general public in a timely manner as soon as the research team is released from the hospital.

So do you think we should apply for a grant????

Only if you are prepared for the out of shape old men in speedo's too!

I have taken the liberty to properly request and submit said paperwork for government funding and grants to the NTRB (National Thong Research Board). The top scientist, Dr. Seymore Buttcheeks, has informed me that our application should be returned prior to our departure. During our conversation, he also indicated that ALL research material obtained must be copied and sent to the NTRB for thorough review prior to reimbursement of our expenditures (I'm sure this is only for scientific accuracy). He was unable to comment at that time if the cost of the cruise itself falls under the "legitimate reimbursement" guidelines (you know... travel expense). I'll get back with you as soon as I have an answer.

WE ARE THE OUT OF SHAPE GUYS IN SPEEDOS

BTW Your post before the last one seems to indicate some knowldge of someone wearing a thong for sure. Have you been shopping for swimwear?

Steve

 

[newbycruiser]

you guys all need to get a life, your'e all out of control...

ROTF LOL

Don't you have anything better to do than post on this BOARD????

I personally am not done shopping yet. I don't think I'll ever be done shopping. For my memorial service, everyone is to say nice things about me then have an organized shopping excursion somwhere. I will be laid out in my favorite OPI color, "I am Not a Waitress" Red...am my drumsticks and thong...



I have a feeling this is gonna be real fun cruise...

Yeah but they won't let us Board until Sept 14th!!!!

And Steve, If I was the one in the little bitty bathing suit you would poke your own eyes out!!!
I will be wearing my cover up thank you! (for multiple reasons not the least of which is that I am allergic to the sun.... )

 

[justmestace]

Okay you guys, I'm dying laughing here. No one to share it with, and the dog thinks I'm crazy.
Jay says he would be more than happy to help with the research. In the interest of science, I don't think any of us wives will mind. But then again, thinking back to our cruise last year...there was this woman in a bikini who showed up to meet for our excursion with no cover-up, no shorts. She was seated by us, and we all got an eyeful. Okay, no biggie. So we go to Blue Lagoon, and at lunchtime, I go get drinks, come back, and WHO is sitting with MY husband, chatting like they were old buddies??! Maybe there could be physical harm, unless.....we girls do some research of our own! There must be at least a few hunky guys out there. I seem to recall a young Australian fellow who worked in the ESPN bar. Hmmm...could be interesting.

Gail (Newby)...I have a million things I should be doing, but none so engaging as this!
I was done shopping a long time ago, but my family members keep coming up with more "stuff" they need. Now tell me, does my 13 yr old really need her own credit card and cell phone?? She swears she read that it was mandatory. I'd like to be able to trust my children, but I'm seeing a red flag here. What do you think? Okay, well, guess I'll go find some work to do. If I must, I must. Keep us "posted" on the project, guys!

 

[newbycruiser]

Yes, she DEFINATELY needs her own cell and credit card!!! She a woman now, isn't she????!!

Just kidding, I know alot of our teens have them here, just set reasonable limits. I have an 8yo...oh boy...

Stacey, Make sure Jay realizes there is a chance of eye strain involved.
Your post about the lady without proper clothing reminded me of a friend of our who went to the southern Ciarribean and was sitting by the pool when a LARGE woman from Europe and her husb sat down across the pool from him. She had on a robe and a smile, he was wearing some short boxers. Well after a few "shots" of her getting on and off the chair he decided to move. He noticed that some kids were giggling and looked over and saw that the mans "Family Jewels" had slid out of his shorts and he just sat there tanning them.

Athene not to worry we enjoy all women, even those in coverups and as far a size goes I go to the adult beach because at the family beach all the kids kept saying "Come on mom help us push the whale back into the water so he doesnt die"

When we were in Curacao last year, they had some nude beaches. The only one where we got a really good look had 3 WAY older people, 2 women, 1 man...they'd gotten off of a smaller cruise ship...anyway, they were sunning in their b-day suits. Very heavy, very wrinkled. Looked like a pack of SharPei puppies!! Not a pretty sight. One other beach had a young, gorgeous, obviously Dutch, blonde girl...topless. Our boat was just hitting the beach after snorkeling, and she was something! My poor Jay didn't see a thing....he'd left his glasses at the dive master's house!!!
Steve, I'll make sure he has his glasses this time! By the way, I'd always been told that all firefighters are hot, so what do you mean, whale?? Have I been deceived?
What do they call a large group of whales? Whatever it is, if we all hit the beach together, people might pay us for the "Whale Watching Excursion". We are coming up with all sorts of ways to pay for our cruise! Gotta run, I'm going to go call Omar (the tent-maker) and see if my swimsuit is ready!
'Night,
Stacey

 

[CapnHook]

A group of whales is called a pod, gam, or herd (Animal Congregations, or What Do You Call a Group Of...?). Unfortunately, there is no listing for "old, flabby, wrinkled men and/or women", "smokin' hot babes", or "buff hunk o' beefcake" at that website. I guess you make up your own scientific category. Also, I could not find the scientific category for: "group of disney characters runnin' down the beach"

 

[fireplug]

You have been decieved Not by me I told everyone early on I would be the short, fat, going bald guy Now my wife on the other hand is gorgeous and will be simply stunning as usual on our cruise.
Oh and put in a good word with "Omar"he does all my dress clothes

Gotta work at the FD today so can't post from there see you all this evening.

Steve

 

[huckster]

Wonder is in port!
4 more sails and shes ours!!
well i am a little worried about meeting ya all
i dont have nails
i dont wear a thong
cigars will give me an asthma attack
most deffinatley will wear the cover up (hope it works)

but dh (huck alias mike) will bring his binoculars.

 

[#1Mouse]

Not to worry huckster - looks like you'll fit right in!!!!!

I can guarantee I won't be smoking a cigar and definately will NOT be wearing a thong!!!!

I can't believe we all know "Omar". Looks like the guy has been busy for this cruise!!! Wow, it sure is a small world after all!!!!

the mans "Family Jewels" had slid out of his shorts and he just sat there tanning them.

EEEEWWWWW!!! I hope he didn't get a sunburn!!!!

Gail

 

[Marshmelo]

Thank you for saying that huckster. I was getting a little worried too about fitting in. I ditto everything you said....and #1mouse. I feel better now. Not that I dislike the rest of you...I've been having fun reading all the posts, you sound like a fun and crazy group, but I was just a little worried about fitting in! See you all soon!

 

[fireplug]

As long as no one is a member of those snooty fashion police I think we will ALL fit in. Remember all these shenanigans are just to pass the time. I think we have a real good group, it sounds like we will all enjoy meeting each other and who knows we may plan some more cruises together. So don't worry about fitting in . The rest of the cruisers will all wish they could join in with us.

Steve

 

[fire4506]

As Steve said as long as those fashion police stay away, we all will have a great time. Even if we don't smoke or don't drink, what am I saying no drinking (NOT). Well atleast just a FEW MIKE'S to keep me in line. And we promise not to do anything crazy until we get to the ship.

 

[justmestace]

Sorry if we gave the wrong impression! Dale & Steve are right...just having fun, passing time. (Well, that's not what Jay was passing, but that's another story).
I am just an average mom...a little too chubby & have all those cellulite bumps..yuk...my usual mode of dress is t-shirts, jeans or jean shorts and tennies. Jay and I own a welding and ornamental iron business...so I am definitely not one of the upper crust!
You have to remember, the only reason I even care what my nails look like is because of the wedding. (I gave up trying to do something with my hair a long time ago). Was trying to illustrate how nervous and obsessive I was getting, that I'd tried 50 million different polishes! If I actually did run with the fancy-schmansy crowd, I'd have known that I was supposed to have a French manicure!!
We're gonna have fun meeting eachother!! I can't wait to put faces to names.

Stacey

 

[scrappy910]

Well, here is another misfit heard from. I can vouch that #1 Mouse will not be wearing a thong or smoking a cigar, because as her big sister I would be obligated to tell her mommy and daddy who will also be on the cruise. But then again, that threat never worked when she was growing up so I doubt it would work now either. I am so looking forward to this cruise. I am still wondering why it took sooo long for someone to actually talk me into trying it.

If anyone is going by "Omar's" before the cruise, please check and see if my tent order is ready. I use to tell my kids I was overweight because I kept 10 pounds in reminder of each of their births. But at this point I either need to have more kids or up it to keeping 20 pounds per kid.

See you all SOON!!!!!

 

[#1Mouse]

Good Grief Scrappy, still trying to get me in trouble after all these years. You still have not learned that as the black sheep of the family and the middle child - being in trouble with mom & dad has not been one of my big worries!!!!!!!!

And who exactly talked you into taking a cruise????? Now to get you to try snorkeling or maybe even cigar smoking


Stacey - I'm from the fancy-schmansy crowd and I knew you were suppose to have a french manicure, but I just didn't want to make fun of you Today I was just telling my personal assistant, kitchen help, gardener, chauffer and maid about how you were creating such a faux pas of not having a french manicure!!!!!!!! Not one of them could believe it!!!! Ok all the above titles listed above are actually me, but I'm usually on strike!!! Never had a french manicure myself, but I must admit I do have my nails done every 2 weeks - it's my only vice!!!! Ok........I get them done cuz it gets me out of doing any work for a couple of hours!!!!!

Not to worry we are checking in from middle "class" suburbia, but we really don't have much class!! But we do like to have fun!!!!!!!!!

Fashion police......oh no, I'm in trouble----love my jeans, sweatshirts etc..... If those dang jeans didn't get so heavy in the water I'd probably wear them swimming.
