Rum is good

[BigAlsGal]

Want to hear another weird but true WillyJ story. . . of course you do!


When I was 11 and living in Long Beach, CA. the Manson trials were going on. My grandfather was a detective for the LA school system and had to go to the LA County Courthouse to do something and took me with him.

So we're there, and it's a big mob scene, and all of a sudden this blonde chick runs up to me. puts a bead necklace around my neck. and kisses me full on the lips.

She rushed off before my grandfather could do anything. . . but for years I dreamed about that girl.


I finally figured out she was a Manson girl named Cathy, or "Cappie" or "Capistrano" and as far as I can tell she never had anything to do with any murders.

But for awhile, I had a crush on a Manson Girl.

Wow! Crazy story!

I was just listening to The White Albumn, but sadly I am rumless..

Life goes ooooonnnn...

Rum is great but Vodka is better

We often do the 4 night cruise ln The Dream and one of the stops is Nassau. In my humble view I don't hold affection for this stop as being in a wheelchair it is cobbled, hot and worth a day staying on the ship. But one thing we do like is the rum cake. Oh this is adorable. You can buy it in the market place just as you get off the ship. So we just go and get some of that in the morning and return the The Dream.

Well one day we docked it was really hot. I had a manual chair as my battery was flat on my power chair. My wife was kindly pushing me and I was trying to also self propel. The sweat was pouring of us. It was like our version of the Princess half marthon. That path from the Dream to the market seemed like miles. Finally we get to the beloved cake stand ready to load my rum runner wheelchair bag full of yummy cakes.... A years supply...

Then we see the sign ( cue pyscho music )

Closed due to sickness we apologise for any inconvience...

Let us not forget gin.

Rum is good but I have seen its darker side, Not that I remember all of it. Just remember rum can be very bad, very very bad.

"Why is the rum always gone?"

My Family is much more behaved. . . I fine them for rudeness and being unsafe.

Let me guess.... you collect the fines via Pay of Pal.

Heck, I've been spiking dole whips with rum since the 80's. . .

Someone owes me a finders fee or something!!

Every time I see this thread title I think of the Jimmy Buffett line, "Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum, And we wound up drinkin' all night."

I just thought I'd share...

 

[Magpie]

Hmm...

I like rum cake.

Rum flavoured ice cream.

Rum balls.

Rum cookies.

Even gin rummy.

But, I do not like rum, and I will not drink it.

Is there room in the crew for a teetotaler pirate?? I could be the designated sailor... Though I should also mention I have no driver's license and I can't see worth a darn but the ocean's big and what are the odds I'll run into anything anyway?

A little Travis McGee, rum, and Buffett makes for a very pleasant evening.
