Wow!!! Did you hear Boat Drinks countrified?

Wha da say we open up another bottle of Captain?

Ooooooooo

My fave karaoke song is on right now...

I sure appreciate the fact you're sitting here...
Your voice sounds so wonderful ......
But your face don't look too clear...

So barmaid...bring another round of brew
Why don't we get drunk and screw...


Yes, Kit, that was a suggestion! <wink>
 
::returns to the roof with a nice fluffy, heated towel for Kit::Here ya go, Kit. Let me know if you want me to help wipe you down. I'm glad I could bring a smile to your face after such an icky day. Hang in there, kiddo. Tomorrow's Friday!

::waves to Chanaud quietly, not wanting to disturb her concert::
 
A quick nightcap, Turk.

My oh my it looks like a night of randy ladies...do ladies get randy?

Considering all the Buffet Buffs we have here on the Roof, taht we should pass the hat and raise some money for him to make a guest appearance...how much ya think we'll need?
four...five hundred, maybe?
 
Four or Five Hundred? Right?:rolleyes: Of course if we can pull strings and get Buffet up here, just make sure there aren't any lighting guys around, cause he hates 'em! Hahaha long story about a Buffet show I worked in West Palm Beach, perhaps I can share it with you at another time.

Star, you've out done yourself yet again! A romp and roll in the sand, very nice;)

OK Chanaud, Kit what are your favorite Buffet songs? Of course anyone else is urged to answer as well! As for me Come Monday has always spoken to me. That or God's Own Drunk holds a special place for me too.:D
 
Good morning all!

Dawg, a :kiss: OMG! You never told me you worked on Buffett's stage. You must spill and don't leave out any details. And I will tell you about the time I danced with him. Remember tit for tat. <evil grin> Choosing a fave song is difficult but I will say the song, 'One Particular Harbour' bites. Your choices are good ones, especially God's Own Drunk. Only a true Parrothead knows that song.

Thanks Kit and Mya for livening up my God awful week. :kiss: You girls rock!

Ari, of course girls get Randy. Btw, who's Randy? <grin>

Another busy day. I apologize to all for not posting. I promise to catch up sometime this weekend.

Have a happy Friday!
 
Searching for Buffet buff

I have been reading your posts and starting to wonder who or what is buffet buff ?

So what can a Tiger do other than use his Google to find the answer... and there it was

"Sixty pounds lighter and still on the losing track, Broderick began changing his eating habits at a snail's pace. In fact, he didn't alter the quality of intake at first, only the quantity. Once a buffet buff always a buffet buff. The main difference for Broderick was instead of mounds of mashed potatoes he filled up on molehills. Beef and chicken took a back seat to vegetables. Carbohydrates that once crowded his plate were replaced with better foods. And if dessert was a must, then it must be a small portion. Over time, Broderick discovered that less could be more." Susan O'Keefe


This just make me wonder .. Who the hell is Broderick ?
 
Lets see .. it is nawty friday today isn't it ?
Decides to forget his jeans and enter wearing a tie today... hmmm, i better join Turk in case some of the other guests will take offence.

Kit .. whats stopping you ? .. shakes his hips behind the bar.:kiss:

Star .. you sound just like the girl any man would like to live with on Bahamas... Even if i think i would need a ski vacation once in a while *grins*

Chanaud .. i think im as close to Randy as any man can get :p

Ari, what shall we do with Dawg ? .. just look at him we start talking about going away in the middle of july and he starts to celebrate allready

Jaen .. It's 4 months now since we started our adventure, does that mean its time to party ?
just in case :kiss: :kiss:

Turk ... here is a bowl of lemons .. remember to give at least 3 a day to Dawg while Ari and I are away... We got to try to remove that smile some way.

Have a great day everybody
 
OK so my Buffett story:

I was working freelance as a lighting programer and got a gig down in West Palm. This was several years ago, very early in my career. Turns out the gig was a publicity stunt for some Tequila or Corona or something. It was a stage for a mini-concert on the beach. OK sure stage on the beach MTV does it all the time makes it look easy. Well it's not! It sucks! Try making a moving light work reliably with all that damned sand and sea spray! And the stage? Getting it level? No way!

OK anyway the headliner was Buffett. So we spent about 18 hours straight through hot day into cool night getting everything fired up. We, the intelligent lighting team, had rented a generator for the event. Nice clean reliable power. The audio twerps decided they could use "shore" power. That is the power from the resort near-by.

Early in the morning we're all fairly toasty from working all night, Jimmy and his team show up. He strides right up to my Lighting Designer (LD) and starts barking at him. "I hate lights!" "Don't do any of that fancy shit!" "This is about me not about your lights!" Blah, blah blah. Whatever.

Show time rolls aruond and everything is going well, until the second song. POP the main audio goes out. The audio geeks start scurrying around. They've thrown their breaker and have no power. Jimmy handles it in stride as he pulls out his acoustic and starts to play for the first 4 rows.

Meanwhile one of the audio pukes crawls under the stage and snags his main power cables. Without evening pausing to think he attempts to plug them into our main feed from the generator. There is an eerie blue flash of light and loud pop from under the stage and that poor moron is literally ejected from under the stage. I've never seen an audio guy move that fast since.

The head audio guru starts barking about shutting down the generator so he can plug in the audio. After much yelling and screaming backstage, Buffett looks over and see us standing around the generator. He excuses himself to the audience and walks over adn tells us to get the 'fucking audio running no matter what! Fuck the lights."

CLICK!

Now all the lights shut down and about 5,000 people are standing on a very dark beach! We connect the audio up refire the generator and manage to get about half the lighting up and running. Of course the audio twerps get their entire system going. The rest of the concert goes perfectly.

After the show Buffett sought out my LD and dressedhim down royaly! Jimmy clearly blamed the entire night of blunders on the lighting team. He did sign a t-shirt for me though.:D

Dawg! Great Story...can I touch your t-shirt? Can I huh...Puleezeee!!!!

My favorite Buffett? Son of a Son...Pirate Looks at 40...those have memories of my father attached. Gods Own Drunk is certainly a fans song, kind of like Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw. I think that I just love Buffett!

HT, we're talking about Buffett, as in Jimmy, not buffet, as in all-you-can-eat...although a Jimmy Buffett buffet could be yummy! HT, you mean you really wouldn't mind if I slipped up behind you and rand my hands lightly up and down your cute butt...massaging the firm cheeks, scraping my nails over the denim...sending tingles through the fabric right to the center of your....imagination. :devil:

Chanaud, Mya....just want you to know that because of you I had difficultly sleeping last night. *grins* Thanks!

Star, the towel was delightful. I may go out and get wet again just so I can take you up on the offer of help. *winks*

Ari...I'll be the Manager while you're away. That means I can set policy, and give away drinks, and...PARTY TIME!...oppps I mean keep Ricks runnning in a smooth and professional manner...

(*in whisper* Mya...Chanaud...do you think he's buying this?)

Hugs to those here, and those away...and lots and lots of Kisses!!!
 
Would i mind ? .. turns my head around and looks at Kit ... mmm i just love the way you get my imagination going :p

Ari .. what do you think .. i suspect Kit is up to no good .. but she has a uniform already doesnt she ?.
 
Good Morning All!!

Tiger, Of course it is time to party!! ;) :kiss: :kiss: :rose:

Dawg, Great story.

Kit, Chanaud, Mya, Ari, Star and all I missed Enjoy your Friday!!
 
Wow! The roof is really rockin' with the early morning crowd. ::hugs and waves to all::

I loved the story, Dawg. I must confess that I'm not a parrothead but that's only because I haven't been exposed to Jimmy Buffet. . .but there's always the present. I have many friends that are as goofy about him as you all seem to be here.

Darling Tigger. . .I would live anywhere with you that included sun, heat and water. And I love both water skiing as well as downhill, so there ya go!

Kit, you know there's nothing I wouldn't do to make you happy. . .::winx::

Ari, I'm starting to get a complex about posting with you. Trying to keep up with you is like trying to tame a loose fire hose. . .I'm not sure where it's going. ::sigh::

Due to too many things going on on the homefront, I completely forgot about nawty Friday and dressed like a proper lady. Damn!

Mya, Jaen, Chanaud & Chele. . .hope you all have great days and even better weekends!
 
Hello

Hello, dear friends.

I was so hoping that the Rooftop would still be here and here it is--just the same. :) There is not much I can say to explain my abrupt departure in March except that real life threw me several curve balls that I did not expect. I apologize to people who sent me messages. I have not accessed these boards or my personal message account until today. I did think of all of you in these months, with the fondest of memories. There was just too much on my real life plate for me to handle any more than I had. I hope you understand.

I will be working full time in September at a local high school teaching English. I am tremendously excited. My brother and I are taking responsiblility for the care of my niece, my sister's daughter, and she brings me much joy. My sister is on the road to recovery and has the support of her family.

I ask only that you don't ask me too much about personal details right now. I'm only ready to share what I have written here. Summer is here.....vacation is here....and I am well!!

Looking forward to catching up on my reading. Hugs and kisses to Ari, Mya, Chanaud, Chele, Kit, Las, Taxi....I know I am forgetting people! Anyway.....

Cheers!

Welcome back, Morgana!

Although we may not have met yet, I know all those people you mentioned up there ::points the the post above her::
 
Welcome back Morgana .. Good to see you again .. and here is a warm hug from me as being an assistant manager on the Roof

There is something about vacation isn't it ?
And guess what ... My vacation has officially started now :p:p

Jaen .. The party starts within an hour for me, live music and beer .. for 3 days .. can it be better ?

Star .. how about next week ?
 
Morgana, your company is all we ask, anything else you want to share is a bonus. So glad to have you back with us!! You picked a good time too. Ari and HT are going to be out of town and there will only be one man on the Roof. Poor Dawg, all alone with all the Ladies. *grins*

Star...anything could cover alot of ground with my rather fertile imagination...better be careful...hey...what am I saying! Go ahead Star...commit to "anything" :devil: We certainly have to educate you about Buffett! You'll love him! Chanaud and I are addicted I think.

Jaen...we're plotting...errr...I mean planning a party to keep our spirits up while Ari & HT are out of town...poor us....so many women and only the one man...

Dawg...have you started on those vitamins I mentioned?

Ok, back to work you slackers! The weekend awaits us!

:kiss:
 
Welcome back Morgana. I scarsely remember you as a kind and talented contributor. It is good to have yuo back.

Star, no sexy Friday? Hmmm can we still do a Star-Dawg stew?

Kit, you can touch the shirt and so much more! :devil:

As for the vitamins, I've been working out 5 days a week for a month now. I'm all pumped up and ready to go!
 
Hi all!

Turk, a coke please.

Well, well, well...tell Dawg he's going to be swamped with amorous women and he seems to show up more frequently than usual, eh? You just want good licks and kisses, don't you, Dawg?
Well, here you go::p :p :kiss: :kiss: :p :p

Kit, too bad there were no takers on vignettes for you. The men just don't know a good super-model/writer when they see one. I finished my vignette in there, and am wondering if the thread will just die. :( Oh well.

Morgana, it is nice to meet you!

Chanaud...i like buffett, but i wouldn't say that I am a buff. However, this julyI am going to be stage managing for a concert in the park--Don Maclean...MY FAVORITE! I am so excited. But I won't have to mess with the lights like Dawg, unless the lighting people quit on me. Electricity and me do not mix well. I have been electrocuted three times in my life. Don't really want to do it again.

Seems like forever since we've seen Chele...is she on vacation? or has it not been that long? Time just seems to blend together.

Anyone else think Ari is too busy packing to come play at the roof? I'd help you pack, doll. ;) :rose:

Well, in the two days that I was gone from camp, they managed to leave one camper at the pool unsupervised, and to forget to pick one up from summer school. I was a bit ticked. These kids are my heart and soul, and the fact that people can be so careless as to leave a person behind sickens me. It's not like we ever have to be looking after more than three campers at once. How could they leave him? And then, they didn't even write it up in order to cover their butts. I finally forced them to write an incident report. Everyone's so eager to write one up when someone else does something wrong...sorry, my venting for the day. I just love the kids.

HT--your butt sure is getting a lot of attention these days...are any of your other 2000 parts being neglected?
 
Hey those are great licks and kisses! Right back at you!:p :kiss: :p :kiss: :p

Are you ready for the weekend? I know I am! I couldn't wait to get home and strip down for an evening skinny dip in the pool! I feel so much better now!

Turk a scotch on the rocks please!
