I OWE many replies ... but while OTHERS will have to wait ...  :-)))

Just being away for a couple of days ... I missed this juicy thread
which was fortunately capsulized here nicely by Viv da Krazy Kiwi, to
get you youngsters (I mean the likes of Strike and Mike :-) stirred up
and quiverin' with (would WET be Ob Scuba here?) dreams!  <BG>

NOT if *I* can help it.  :-)

What imaginations?  I've SEEN you with my own eyes in your Nighties. :-)
Come to think of it, how can one see with somebody else's eyes?

BUT (in my best imitation of the voice of Groucho, with thick-eyebrows
wiggling, and his cigar (no relation to Clinton's) flickering in his
mouth) I'll never tell what ELSE I saw or didn't see ... :-)))

Gotta throw in a little tidbits, as the Master Baiter, to keep you
sex-crazed NED youngsters' wild imaginations alive ... :-))

Hey, if Nick were here, he could have given me enough "strike"s (what a
"stroke" he is :-)) for my use of the term "Master Baiter" to do HIS
"ejection"!   ;-))

BTW, "Master Baiter" is was what the Cayman Aggressor Captain called
the DM (and the DM Kurt called himself) who carried the bag of squids
to chum the stingrays in the Stingray City dive.  <G>

BTW 2, I took a quick look at Week 2 of posts in Scuba-L before I left
for Chattanooga to see what's there (while SCUBA discussions were
SO PROFUSE in Scuba-SE that I didn't have the time to even count them,
much less READ them, during the same one-day period) -- I saw that
3 of the TOTAL of 7 short posts in Scuba-L were by Dan Crawford, talking
about hyperlinks and html, real ON TOPIC SCUBA topics, ya know.
Where were Hugh and Nick the "off topic" Cops NOW ??? :-)

But I digress.  When WE go "off topic" here, we are never really "off
topic".  We are having SCUBA FUN and CAMERADERIE, such as getting off
(ooops) on Viv's confessions.  <BWG>

With or without your Nighties, you can say THAT again!   :-)

Ha!  I caught you with your Nightie UP!  ;-)

Ah, but you had your NIGHTIE in THAT suitcase, so that you can DISCARD
it when you get to the liveaboard in Truk Lagoon, right?  Heeeeeheee.
Actually, I can IMAGINE you discarded it as soon as you got to Coz,
perhaps even before!  <BG>

>I collect swimwear like some gals >collect shoes

As Bjorn's now-BETTER-HALF Soyong?  :-)  I can vouch for the authenticity
of BOTH.  Viv's collection of bikinis (because of the miniscule sizes
of the material in VOLUME) could fill one SHOE with 10 binikis, and
perhaps had a "string" or two left to tie a few shoes too!   :-))

Carry on, Mates and Matette!


Here's a quickie report on my whirlwind Choo Choo trip!

On Fri, 9 Jun 2000 04:17:29 -0400 (that's 4:17 AM), I posted a note to
say in the "Ginger" thread to say I "lost a day" <G> and would give Jeff
a call some time while I was there ... to buy him a drink, or two, or ...

I was IN Chattanooga BEFORE 7:45 AM.  (It wuz only 233 miles away <G>)
I had a leasurely breakfast, picked up brochures at the TN Welcome
Center, and Apartment and House Guides elsewhere ... and was still too
EARLY to get checked into a hotel.  So, I started on looking at several
apartment complexes I had called the day before ... and VOILA, I had
signed a rantal contract before NOON, which I will not be able to take
possession until I return from Tahiti in mid-July.  :-)  Otherwise, I
could have claimed Tennessee residency NOW.

I don't beat around the bush when I KNOW what I am doing.  :-))
So, by NOON Friday, I had already GAINED back the day I "lost"!  :-)

I called Jeff and was intending to invite him for dinner/drink after he
finished w*rk, but he was out to lunch, so I told his secretary to tell
him that I had already FINISHED my intended business and left.

Jeff's drinks will have to wait till I MOVE to the apartment in July! :))

I'll work on a few follow ups in Scuba-SE before we leave for our week's
trip to Honolulu -- already got my FREE, confirmed UPGRADE to First
Class seat on Continental.   :-)

-- Bob.
