Their chief saleswoman, Glynness is having her 93rd birthday and they would like us to play. I've negotiated a $200 fee for us, plus a helping of birthday cake each. What do you think?

travel expense?

How much would it cost on the Greyhound?

Wolferz forbids me from putting my taps on my boots and clogging on deck. Last time I did it, someone thought we were under air machine gun attack and sounded off battlestations waking up Wolferz in the head... You know Wolferz, he hates being stirred from his slumber and running to the con fer nuth'n these days...and he never leaves the head when someone in there is giving confession...

well, all of us I don't think $200 will cover it, unless he gives us a discount for play'n during the ride..We can pack up a batch of bilge stew to eat on the way, maybe do a lil street playing during potty stops....Maybe try Hank's Used Used Car Lot.....see if you can get us a old station wagon for cheap.

and don't bring up hitchhiking again....

What potty stops ??? We're already using the communal engine room can so this is no big stretch. Of course this a 'break' from the pigboat generally, so I recommend a little expense for relative luxury-they actually have running water and light up when you enter; we'll let Wolfertz have the rear one so he's feelin' at right at home: I'll take charge as I generally handle 10-20 of these at a time on film shoots..."it's a dirty job, but..." And if we can find an old country squire wagon 239 V8-sleeps six- with a tow package we're set! I grew up car-campin' in these babies! The roof is for the Hamm's cooler(s):D; your moonshine goes in the console!:up:

You want us to drive in the country, Squire?:timeout:

I have a cure for that nonsense....

/heads for the galley in search of a large potato.

-20 F is sweater weather BBY
 
A potato won't work! There's so many holes in the exhaust manifold (Minnesota road salt) and we could see the road through the floor boards:nope: The things are like Russian tanks! I passed my driver test in one! AC was 4 x 60 ! ; and the concept of 'living' in a vehicle was no issue for me when Freightliners came along. There were 4 families we did this with and winter ski trips (studded snow tires?!!) to MN and WS lake cabins-(Ice fishing and ski places) I recall this 4 car convoy had 2 Walkie-Talkies too. Guess who got assigned to engine-start detail on frigid nights to insure arrival at the ski lifts-actually a good little money maker as other lodge guests would simply hand over the key and a $10 dollar-bill (in the '60'$:up:) to insure a quick start in the AM...with screamin' kids. At home there were resistance wire plugs to the water-filled radiators:timeout: to keep'em thawed-anti freeze...never heard of till the late 70's:nope:???!.

Reminds of the 65 Rambler my mom drove with I was a lad...The floorboards were rusted out in the back on one side and my brother and I would pee through it....wonder if we ever pissed anyone off behind.

Wolferz 01-02-15 07:22 PM

I guess I'll just have to go make the coil wire disappear.:arrgh!:

For spare parts that old, you'll need to visit an old parts store in Corydon, Indiana. The place probably still has spark plugs for a model T.

They did when the owner of our shop brought his dad's old model T in to get it running. Soaked the pistons with kerosene for a few days, changed the oil and plugs and she cranked right up...literally.

That's it then! no potty breaks required; just holier-than-thou floor-boards! "Some yellow always flows from the bilgemobile"-to misquote our 'fearless leader':O:! Of course we could emulate the murderous female astronaut who didn't want to be video'd at gas stations and wore Depends to avoid the issue entirely. We're all gettin' on a bit and need the practice... for the inevitable...just ahead.:dead: I'd reissue the Dennis Rodman Masks but our route takes us through Ferguson and similar redneck turf and I don't wanna die wearing an adult diaper on a trumped-up DWB:shifty: Armistead: pissed anyone off behind?!! You were lucky the revenuers/cops didn't think you were dumping the tainty moonshine out of you mom's rambler.

Hey! I can do the waltz with you!!; but I get to wear the blue dress with my bride's old Victoria Secret stuff; you already did the wedding dress thing; and Fireftr18 can really strut his stuff this time too, while we switch off at the cotillion punch bowl. Somebody's gotta shave my back though-I don't wanna look like a Sasquatch in drag. Maybe Tango can hook up a NoNo to the microwave! I can't do hot-wax anymore since I nearly ruined myself trying to look decent in a speedo a few years back...:stare: just for Armistead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaUWs63iBz0

swamprat69er 01-02-15 10:07 PM

I guess in North America we could call that 'shagging', it has a whole different meaning to the Brits though.:D

My point on the peeing through the hole was to keep us out of diapers to start with....I figured that was a given since Wolferz makes us wear them on patrol. Guess you weren't around when the US DD make a practice depth charge run on us, dropping a charge 2000 yards away and we all shat ourselves...They named our sub the USS Pamper...after that.

Aktungbby 01-02-15 10:36 PM

I thought it was the USS Pampernito:timeout: coulda' sworn I just saw that one too while out under the Golden Gate....http://www.maritime.org/img/pampbridge.jpg

You keep me out of this one. I was just sitting in my corner drinking, not bothering anyone, and now you have to drag me into it. I think I'll join Donna on shore leave. After conning the newbies into scrubbing the galley and pots clean, I'm now resigning as head chef of The Bilge.

I sent your request to Wolferz {slid it under the door} He sent it back after he peed on it. Not sure if that is an approval or not. You're to remain on station until further notice...

Aktungbby 01-03-15 02:22 AM

No dragging your feet...or your anchor

"drag" is what it's all about! Moreover, I give you Britain's First Sea Lord and inventer of the modern big gun navy, Admiral John 'Jackie' Fisher: "He was not keen on sport, but he was a highly proficient dancer. He insisted that the officers of his ship learn to dance. Fisher cancelled the leave of midshipmen who would not take part. He introduced the practice of junior officers dancing on deck when the band was playing for senior officers' wardroom dinners. This practice spread through the fleet. He broke with the then ball tradition of dancing with a different partner for each dance, instead adopting the scandalous habit of choosing one good dancer as his partner for the evening His ability to charm all comers of all social classes made up for his sometimes blunt or tactless comments."http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ohn_Fisher.jpgBlunt/tackless comments in the bilge!??
midshipmen??http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMD...UHfE1/$_35.JPG:k_confused::Kaleun_Goofy:WELL! There it is in a nutshell! You will be issued new Converse tenners to save the deck paint and you will only drink at the punch-bowl between waltzes with Swamp; instead of useless self-enabling debauchery 'in your corner'. And you will ooze Charm! Cutting a rug is as vital as climbing fire ladders and it will keep you in shape from all the nibbling you do while cheffing in the galley. You may of course change partners occasionally to avoid 'scandalously' dancing only with Swamp...good as he'll be looking in his tux...assuming he's wearing his girdle...I know I will, just to squeeze into that blue gown I've taken a shine to.:O: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXy7qYAKrfc

That's the transport sorted, good idea Aktung! What'll it cost in gas money?

We'll have none of that behaviour unless we find a ready supply of willing 'women of negotiable affection'.

You can't go on shore leave and abandon us, we need you on the tea chest bass!

Also, I've had a meeting with 'Putting' Bob and he said if we can supply a dance troupe as well he'll up our fee to $350. We'd best get practising our Waltz, Foxtrot, Jive, Jitterbug, Kansas City Shuffle and anything else we can think of.
