Brown Cafe Cruise Thread

[browndevil]

I think Klein is bragging that he can go to Cuba and we can't. Jk Klein. Wish we could go too. July is a little iffy for me with seniority at UPS, and me not being in the top 20, but it's cool if that is what the majority want. No problemo senor. Post responsibly??? Damn, Tony, there goes all the fun!

Helen if we worked in the same building I would secure a July week for you

Helen, I learned something new about cruises today.
Like, in your case it might be cheaper to book a family suite. It has 2 seperate large bedrooms, each with their on TV, etc, and both rooms join into the common living area, that is also connected to a large balcony.
Plus you get many bonus items, such as free fill of the mini bar, free unlimited internet access in the internet cafe, free use of the spa, and use of the embarktion lounge (one of the first to embark), also free laundry service.

Ofcourse, 4 bc/lers that get along could also take advantage of splitting a family suite together.

Klein, pickup, Upstate and rod.

Ditto!

 

[UPSSOCKS]

I will split a room with someone, as a matter of fact I will just pay for the room. In return, you will wait on me the entire trip. NOW go fetch me a coconut....

Klein, pickup, Upstate and rod.
Ditto!

I'd have a single room to myself once nightfall hits . Can anyone say "Man overboard"? If so, wait about 20 minutes until after the fact, willya?

Oh, didn't read the fine print, I would be left with rod and upstateny. Hmmmm......... perhaps I can suggest a dueling match between those two.

 

[pickup]

I'm in... I can't wait to meet all of you..

Now, that's funny!

I would love to but I was taught not to beat up elderly men.

I'm sorry, I thought you meant

Careful, rod is a crack shot.

My money's on rod vs the man who talketh much smack.

UPSSOCKS, I have a 22 year old son who would love to take you up on your offer to pay for his room. And don't forget to sign him on to the ship credit card that you will pay for, because he's got better things to do then find the key to the closet he locked you in after the first hour. And no, you ain't in no way going to get the best of this guy. He likes to use the phrase "mop up" with people that talk like you. Other than that, he would be a perfect addition to the cruise. : )

 

[helenofcalifornia]

BD, I know you got my back. Nice change in the weather today here in California, eh, BD?

So many things I could do with this one, but I am going to refrain. Eh, why not. I think it's a little strange that you have requested that I pay for your twenty two year old son to share a room with me on a cruise. I believe there was talk about a closet as well in your post. Are you attempting to set me up with your son? Listen Helen you seem very nice, but that's a California thing. Have your rainbow wearing son, share a room with a dude in California. Maybe some dude in California can get the best of that guy and then mop up. I still can't get over California having 54 electoral votes, all those goof balls responsible for so much weight in elections. I bet that Perez Hilton will be our next president.

I love that you underlined love, it was a nice touch.

I'm pretty sure YOU were the one offering to "share" a room. I'm thinking your a troller looking for a hookup and Helen, as trusting as she is, missed it. Your smoke screen to hide your obvious ....ummmm...preferences is a waste of time, anyone could see through the failed attempt. I guess all that time you spent under your bosses desk, paid off in promotions for you, but I doubt that ploy would work in the real world.

 

[moreluck]

no, just in congress!

Or maybe a STROLLER!

Though Hellen's son would probably put an end to UPSSOCKS shenanigans.

Are you jealous... You were my first choice to share a room...

I've actually met 555 in person, and buddy, you sure wouldn't want that.

why not

 

[stevetheupsguy]

why not

Because you're UPSSOCKS, of course.
