Platform at aquarium falls, dumps people into shark tank

LadyX has prepared several packages of your temperance tracts for the natives in the local bars and, er, houses.

The distribution of the temperance tracts has always been my responsibility. If you turn that task over to razorback-bert, I'll be out of a job.

He should be assigned other duties instead of getting into my rice bowl.

Yeah well, what if one of those people happened to be drinking a bloody mary at the time....huh....huh....huh

[lsucat]

I agree. I don't think I would have taken my double stroller across a catwalk over a shark tank. I'm perfectly happy to stay in the public areas.

[Dallas]

Wonder what those contingencies are.......shark-mace, a shark-stungun, or perhaps a shark-muzzle would work.

[lsucat]

If they offer to take you on a behind the scenes tour don't go on the catwalk over the lion's cages.

Don't worry about that :)

If the aquarium doesn't stop these tours, I am sure the price of your membership will increase next year to pay for the much-needed additional insurance.

I'm sure if that happens we will no longer be members! Both the Aquarium and the Audubon Zoo are wonderful facilities and we are happy to be members. I'll keep in mind, however, to stick to the public areas when touring.

Fins up!

Ummm, beo - it is not exactly a poltice we fashioned.
Think prosthesis would be more like it, in case he ever goes to a nude bathing beach, donchaknow..
Of course it has to be replaced rather often, but it does the trick..:)))

Verily, oh wise one, we do not want a mutiny on our hands. You are wise in the ways of bars and the, er, "houses" and thus you must indeed retain your hard earned MOS. Razorback-bert, I am sure, will gladly recognize your rank and be glad to assist you in your chores upon your request.

To you chuckling others:
Command is a tough and sometimes unrewarding responsibility, a dirty job someone must do, and I retain command. Now, if you will excuse me, I have duties to perform.

Who ate the cottage cheese?
Where are the oranges?
Where are my steel balls?
Where is my palm tree?!

I said, madam, that we were not going to discuss Fred's unfortunate situation. It has been corrected, well, somewhat, at least, and he is a fine, usually sober, of our fine crew, which cannot be said for most others.

After the intentional fileting of Fred's phallus, it was interesting to note that the pole pruning piranhas suddenly became extinct!
Now we can surmise from that information that they either starved to death or died from gluttony.
Fred is the only member of the crew who thinks the latter is the case.

[princess leah]

Did anyone yell "Land Shark"?

[beowolf]

Cobby, the pole pruning, orchidectimizing, paranhas are not extinct. It was one of those weird instances wherein something gets coded into their genetic structure to avoid....in any case, Fred no longer has to worry about them thinking he is bait.

It is safe, I repeat...It Is Safe To Go Back Into The Water!-)

Getting ship in shape for the run to Australia early next month, through Bass Straight to fine ole Melbourne. Crew will therefore brush up on Aussie lingo and mores, which is much different from the Kiwis.

And, this time there, I ask the crew to please not call an Aussie a "Limey" as it somewhat upsets them, as much as the time Cobby caused a British fellow to faint when he volunteered that Prince Charles may be suffering from inbreeding. We must maintain our couth.

See above.

"It Is Safe To Go Back Into The Water!-)"

Well, if the water is the least bit cold, I don't have to worry about those darn piranhas anyway!

Bert, when you get into Laredo, just head toward Mexico.
You can't miss it.
It's right off the Interstate - I35, I think.
