Hi crowd! In case you were missing me (bats eyelashes), I'm doing fine.. Can't wait to see the Cutty Sark on wednesday.. Life is good, hubby and me are spending our evenings hanging out at a friends', swapping movies, mp3's, videos, games etc etc.. And playing Counter Strike, and other link games

Home at 7-9 am, sleep until 3pm, and voila! you've turned the day upside down What a great way to spend a holiday.. aaaaaahhh...

Oh well, this was a status report, will go offline to play some more.. gonna do RPG tomorrow.. I love vacation! (did I make that clear?)

Lots of summery smiles,

Someone having a good time? Not allowed! You will be hunted down and killed!

But before then, hope it continues to go well...

I thought the Cutty Sark was in Greenwich or am I making a big mistake here?

Thank God someone else said it. So did I.

The Cutty Sark, Tall Ships Races, is in Aalesund 18.7-21.7 2001 The city is counting on 50k visitors daily, which means it'll double in size those three days!

Yay, I love boats with huge masts! (ok ok ok ok, that ALMOST came out wrong, but I'm not gonna edit it after I wrote it like that!)

So, we are talking about different boats here then...

So, is it named after the ship at Greenwich, which is a tall mast ship.

Yeah, it's the name of the race, not of the singular boat in this case

Comprehention dawns - Thanks Supa!

*takes a bow, enjoys a small amount of applause from one person in the crowd*

*dang it's hard to see off this stage and into the dark rows... Anyone out there?*

well cutty sark is named after its sponsor cutty sark whiskey.

Huge masts, eh?

You're talking about the race now then?

yes I am and its named after their sponsor the cutty sark whiskey.

Who probably took the name from the big ship in dry dock at Greenwich.

Have we cleared that up now? It's so good to put the world to rights first thing in the morning.

I guess they did at least its a picture of that ship on the label of the bottle.

Is this the beginning of the Cutty Sark battle?

NOt at all. Actually Finti and I were just finishing up here....

Okay. *puts up closed sign*

*Turns out lights.*

*locks door*

One time I was at the drive-in and took a bite of a Flavo's shrimp roll that was real hot inside and I grabbed the soda from the guy next to me and it turned out to be 1/4 soda and 3/4 cutty sark whiskey.

Does anybody want to hear more ? Like what happened next or why I was at the drive-in that night with three guys and my parents didn't know ?

BUt did you get laid........ out by all that drink?

Is that a trick question ?

*grin*

Rather an impolite question to ask a lady I'd say?

So, Gundy, better spill it.

Did she spill it? I think she drunk it.

So she definately swallowed then?

hmm nice subject you all talk about here

We are talking about cutty sark whiskey!!!

I know and you have to swallow to drink it

Not me, can't abide neat spirits of any kind.

Neat spirits? Here? All I see is you guys.

*sigh*

This could get messy.

WHAT?!

*double sighs*

WHAAT?! WHAAAAAAAAT?!

Well I just didn't expect the cup to have THAT much whiskey in it. The shrimp roll was hot, I was just trying to cool the burn in my throat.

It did start out as a legitimate date, though.

Yes. Sure.

I had a similar experience with chillied octopus and ouzo when I was in greece a few years back. Looked like water, but sure didn't tatse like it. And I hate aniseed as well!

I'm baaaack! Well, almost.. I'm still technically on holiday, but with internet access once more

I'll go read all the new posts once my eyes stop watering and I can stop yawning... past 3pm and I'm not awake yet....

We're not that sad and boring, are we?
