3500 posts! I better stop lurking and start paying attention...or I'll be way behind before we even make a decision to go on the cruise!!!


thanks for all the welcoming comments. I'm not a good lurker. I just didn't want to join in on the fun until I knew it would be ours too! I just had to cancel a January Cruise and it was so dissapointing to get to know everyone on that thread and now, I don't get to meet them in person. (sad) (We're trying to sell our house and already have moved into a new one -- 2 mortgage payments = no cruise!)

Still, I am hopeful about next year's turkey day...I would love for it to happen. My kids want to go too, so DH is definately out numbered...I'll hope he'll be ready to join in on the fun. We have reservations and deposits to lock in the price. (did that last Christmas!) But DH didn't go on that cruise with us, so it's a hard sell.

BUT if anyone can sell him on it, I can. With a little help from my DIS board friends. Many of you I know i'VE SEEN AND HEARD FROM ON THE GENERAL board. (How could I forget the man who forgot the romantic turndown! -- Wasn't that on a most embarrassing moments thread. )

I may not be able to pop in daily, but I am hopeful we'll be joining you.

Welcome Jennifer-

Tell DH not to worry about hanging out with the extended family. Like Lampy said, the Turkeyday gang can be his new family. Willie can tell you about how he left his DW alone in the cabin on the night he paid extra for a romantic turndown service so he could go out and party with the boys.

I can't hang with Willie and Lampy, but maybe your DH can.


And what is with the lurking. Not allowed on this thread. We will expose all lurkers (we did it last cruise)( right Abel?- I'll bet you are lurking around here this year too), so you might as well participate.

TCD.....Willie did it *2* years in a row....poor Mrs. Miller......2 years in a row in their stateroom, rose pettals on the bed and in the bath.....and Willie was my "beer boy"! LOL

I remember the 3500+ posts.

Since were over 500 now, (for a cruise that's still a little less than a year away) does everyone think we'll set a new record with this one?

What are you guys talking about with 3500+ posts? There were 5000+ posts on the original thread, and then they had to lock down the live from thread because it would not stop.

Bill:

A couple questions:

1. Who is TDC?

2. What is the space bar?

I proudly stand behind each and every one of my posts. I have seen what has gone on on other threads- some people just post a smilie or a one word post to pad their numbers. Not the Turkeys.

And, in case you haven't noticed, I haven't even started posting the lawyer jokes yet. I have a bunch in the hopper, but I am waiting until things start picking up on this thread.

Have a great time on your Wonder cruise. The weather here in Florida is looking good through the weekend.

It hit 80 yesterday, and the high today is predicted to be in the low 80's! (Sorry Lampy).

Lampy!

You beat me again!

Actually, I didn't know that I finished ahead of W in the final tally!

There was some mad posting going on in the final days before we cruised, but I still couldn't catch Lampy. Story of my life.

Watch your backs, I had a late start on the last cruise.

One more thing, don't forget that the Turkeyday gang is very proficient with posting interesting cruise photos. As more people join this thread, I will have more material to work with.

Does anybody remember this great photo from the Thanksgiving 2005 cruise?

This is the fellow that Mrs. W was hanging out with when W went missing on his romantic turndown night.

OK, OK, Stop begging everyone, I will post one joke, but only for this one time:

This is not really a joke, it is actually a humorous true story from the 2005 Turkeyday cruise:

A cruiser wandered off of the Magic, and into one of the many quality shops in the beautiful port of Costa Maya. Picking through the objects on display he discovers a detailed, life-sized carved coconut sculpture of a rat. The sculpture is so interesting and unique that he picks it up and asks the shop owner what it costs.

"Twelve dollars for the rat, sir," says the shop owner, "and a thousand dollars more for the story behind it."

"You can keep the story, old man," he replies, "but I'll take the rat." Being a shrewd negotiator, he was able to talk the shop-keeper down to $11.75.

The transaction complete, the cruiser leaves the store with the coconut rat under his arm. As he wanders through the impressive shopping village, two live rats emerge from a sewer drain and fall into step behind him. Nervously looking over his shoulder, he begins to walk faster, but every time he passes another sewer drain, more rats come out and follow him. By the time he's walked to the exit of the faux village for his return to the ship, at least a hundred rats are at his heels, and people begin to point and shout. He walks even faster, and soon breaks into a trot as multitudes of rats swarm from everywhere! Rats by the thousands are at his heels, and as he starts to run as fast as he can back to the ship, skipping the trolley.

No matter how fast he runs, the rats keep up, squealing hideously, now not just thousands but millions, so that by the time he comes rushing up to the gangplank, the whole pier behind him is full of rats! Not knowing what to do, he runs to the edge of the pier, and hurls the rat coconut out into the sea as far as he can throw it. To his amazement, every rat follows, jumping in to the sea and drowning. Not a single rat survived!

Shaken and mumbling, he makes his way back to the shop.

"Ah, Senior, so you've come back for the rest of the story," says the owner.

"No," says the cruiser, "I was wondering if you have a coconut lawyer."

Thank you, thank you very much, I will be appearing live on the Magic next Thanksgiving. Make sure to book your cruise early.

OOPS!!! T..... what? Feeling accused?

Correction made, it is that automotive acronym of Top Dead Center that slipped in.

Anyway. I do enjoy your post and we got a chuckle from the coconut story.

It looks like a cool down is comming but will be warmer than the northeast anyway!

Andrew, I remember your lawyer jokes. And remember the 'dumb blonde' jokes some of us were posting too? I can't resist:

Three blonds on death row
Three women are about to be executed for crimes. One's a brunette, one's a redhead, and one's a blonde.

Two guards brings the brunette forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ."

Suddenly the brunette yells, "earthquake!!" Everyone is startled and looks around. She manages to escape.

The angry guards then bring the redhead forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ."

The redhead then screams, "tornado!!" Yet again, everyone is startled and looks around. She too escapes execution.

By this point, the blonde had figured out what the others did. The guards bring her forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She also says no, and the executioner shouts, Ready . . . Aim . . ."

The blonde shouts, "fire!!"

 

[WMILLER86]

You are right Andrew. 5135 posts to be exact. I just took the last one again.!

Hey! What the heck is going on here? No one has posted for 24 hours?

OK, here is today's Florida weather report (especially for Lampy)

1. Today is the last day of hurricane season!

2. Just drove in to the office, it is sunny and 84 degrees!

I was talking to a guy this morning who is flying to Chicago for the weekend tomorrow. He told me they are predicting snow! It's time for a photo of your back yard, Ron.
