"I ask the crew to please not call an Aussie a "Limey" as it somewhat upsets them,"

The way to ingratiate yourself to an Aussie when you first meet is to say:
"And what part of New Zealand are you from?"

And was not designed to hold up a crowd of people. The aquarium knew this but wanted the extra dollars generated from the private after hours tours. I hope they sue their a$$es off.

What are they going to sue for, getting wet?

From Billie's explanation when she posted the Sonora Flag on The Finest:

"I took this photo near Sonora, Texas, on I-10, where the interstate cut through this mountain. The flag, flying so high above us, was just overwhelmingly beautiful!"

Okay, east or west of Sonora?

Do women still wear sonoras?

Never been to Texas except scuryying through in 1966!

You'll have to ask Cobby.

No, r-bert - the senora does not snore, nor even use a snood on her hair...:))

Yes. The aquarium was being shellfish...

What were those folks doing up there anyway? Were they perched up there just for the halibut? (Yes, yes, I know - BOO HISS!!)

From what I understand it collapsed just seconds after they were told it would be safe it it did collapse.

I have a fishy feeling someone might have said, "I wonder if this thing could collapse if I shook it. Here, hold muh beer."
