My invitation to you, fellow pirates

[Taffy Saltwater]

He's been on for about 20 minutes - missed the first bit, but so far:

Why don't we get drunk?
Homemade music
Fruitcakes
Pencil thin mustache

Five o'clock somewhere

Brown eyed girl
Cheeseburger in paradise - yum!yum!
One particular harbor
Come Monday

[Yrose]

Taffy,
I got my ROoL Fin and love it! But what is my Landshark #?

Thanks,
Yrose

[Taffy Saltwater]

I'm glad you rec'd your fin.  There's a little thought to it:

a.  a shark fin for LANDSHARKS!;
b.  abalone colored for the ocean; and
c.  a guitar pick for Jimmy.

Please feel free to embellish away - pics please!

I've been keeping a running tab of members on the first page - will cut & paste it so it's further down the thread. 

You, m'dear, are Landshark No. 37.   Thanks & fins UP!

[Yrose]

I had actually kinda had the same ideas on the fin! Sorry I didn't know of the running list. I've got to get some one to take a decent fair pic of me, as I'm usually the one behind the camera. Hopefully this will happen soon.

Thanks,
Yrose

Renee & Steve -- Landsharks # 42 & # 43.

And we are raising a guppy!  Our oldest son Tony who lives in Boston is going to a JB concert by himself in the fall because either none of his friends have heard of JB, or if they have, they don't want to go.

Both our kids could sing Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Octopus's Garden in the Shade, and Margaritaville before they started pre-school.  None of that "Wheels on the Bus" stuff for them.  Plus we lived in the Keys then.  Nuff said.

[Taffy Saltwater]

When my son was in grade school - after the DARE program - he heard Margaritaville while driving down the road w/me one afternoon.  I was belting, as usual, and he was just appalled that the singer was putting the blame for his drinking issues on someone else.  I had to tell him to listen to it all the way through, which appeased his little self righteous self.  Now, of course, he's not the least bit adverse to wastin' away in Margaritaville.  We've got three generations of Parrotheads in our family - my mom, myself & my son.

Welcome to the ROoL, Landsharks!  I know your son will have a blast.

Guppy #44 reporting for duty, mum.

OK so this is the sticker on the rear window of my Bug--



FINS UP!

Now thats my kinda board meeting!

[Once Debauched]

I got it!  I GOT IT!  I GOT IT! 

And have been wearing it about the office since it came out o' the envelope around 11:00 this morn!

Captain, the fin TOTALLY ROCKS!

I think this calls for a celebration.  Shots anyone?  lol

Oh!  That reminds me... If you like Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off I ran across a song on iTunes  Nancy Drinks Tequila by BarleyJuice.  I happened to listen to it while downloading Juice of the Barley (played on RenFest Podcast)  "Nancy" is a great bar song - quick beat and good Irish tune!  I must admit the reason the song appreals to me is I resemble  Dearest Nancy in many a way... but I use salt and lime and I'm more than willin' to shoot a whiskey now and then!  lol


Nancy Drinks Tequila (K. Swanson)

there's a bonnie lass from county bucks
i'm sure you've heard about
on the subject of the drinkin'
she is utterly devout
never had a dram of whiskey
never had a pint of stout
surely that is not to say
she's the type will do without

nancy drinks tequila
and she drinks it night and day
stronger men than old sylvest
i've seen her put away
her lips'll ne'er touch whiskey
beer or porter, punch or tay
nancy drinks tequila
and she drinks it night and day

when nancy's in the public house
there's sure to be a bloody row
she'll always drink a dram more than
the landlord can or will allow
if looks could kill it's sure that more
than one man would have up and died
hell it hath no fury as when
nancy's thirst has been denied

nancy drinks tequila
she's not like a normal irish lass
she'll even eat the worm that's lyin'
at the bottom of the glass
i dare you all lads big and small
if you believe you've got the brass
go head to head with nancy and
she'll drink you flat upon your arse

nancy drinks tequila
and she drinks it night and day
stronger men than old sylvest
i've seen her put away
her lips'll ne'er touch whiskey
beer or porter, punch or tay
nancy drinks tequila
and she drinks it night and day

we used to meet on saturdays
down at the pub the drum and fife
and after twenty shots or so
one night she said she'd be me wife
i can't complain about the pain
that's in me brain each sunday mornin'
i suppose this life i chose
it hasn't come without a warnin'

now we're a loving couple
tipplin' doubles down in dublin town
she's still as pretty as the day
i saw her in her wedding gown
as for me it's plain to see
tequila's cost me liver dear
i wonder if she'll love me less
if i go back to drinkin' beer

nancy drinks tequila
and she drinks it night and day
stronger men than old sylvest
i've seen her put away
her lips'll ne'er touch whiskey
beer or porter, punch or tay
nancy drinks tequila
and she drinks it night and day

I'm so glad you got your phin!  I'm not really crazy about the back (which came as a kit), so you might keep your eye on it.  I'll be making more phins as favors, but only Landsharks will have the abalone coloration.  Thanks for the song - I'll check iTunes for it when I get home.

For new members, I'll be getting your phins in the mail by - hopefully - the end of the week.

Fins UP!

[Welsh Wench]

FINS UP!
