When I think of you and Reef Bay, all I can think of is this: "For gosh sake... Hydrate!"
Very funny and unfortunately, very true...but let he who has not bonked on the Reef Bay hike and been forced to ask his wife to carry his backpack, cast the first stone.

Wait.
You might not have phrased that exactly the way you wanted to.


Then again, you might have....

Touche...just in case I'm currently being reported for offensive posting...I want to assure everyone that the word "bonking" does in fact mean "running out of energy at an inopportune time" and not anything of a frank or explicit nature.

The Nation Park Service would also like for me to also remind you that while the Reef Bay hike is beautiful, it is not a motel...and the term Virgin in Virgin Islands is not a challenge to your virility.

Sometimes I like to sit on top of Peace Hill early in the morning and sip on a cold beer while wondering how the world would be different if Robert Oppenheimer had discovered Gibney beach before he discovered what happens when atoms collide. But then the atoms in my beer collide with the cells in my brain and I think, is the formula for calculating "villa gravity" the temperature of the pool water multiplied by the speed of light beer or is it [Vg = 1, 2, 3, floor]? And then I think, wait just a nanosecond here, I'm on vacation and I was told there would be no math.

Where do you come up with this stuff. But don't get me wrong, it's quite entertaining.

Would you believe that I have 1,000 monkeys and 1,000 typewriters...probably not, nobody uses typewriters anymore.

No idea where it comes from...I have one of those memories that sponges up useless knowledge and the ability to tap into it. Sad thing is I can't even remember if I remembered to close the garage door half the time.

Helps pass the time anyway and if I can make just one person laugh, then it will have been worth it. I figure every forum has an idiot, why deprive this one?

Okay, this is much more entertaining than your standard ticker which I can't figure out how to post either. I wouldn't be able to think your deep thoughts though so I will have to devise another method of counting down. For some reason thinking deep thoughts always makes me think of the scarecrow in Wizard of Oz.

You're not an idiot! (but, maybe an idiot savant ~ island style)
Love your deep thoughts by 54b . . . keep um coming!

Yeah, could definitely use that ticker...my wife informed me last night that we're actually leaving in 21 days, not 22...I'm off by a day. Probably have to do a two-fer now.

Won't be able to post this weekend, but the show must go on...here's for Saturday and Sunday.

I think that when you order a virgin daiquiri in the Virgin Islands, the bartender should ask you to specify whether you want a British Virgin daiquiri or a US Virgin daiquiri. Technically, the frosty beverage will be made the same way regardless, well, as long as your order it in English anyway. And should you forget and mistakenly order a British virgin daiquiri while on St. John, be advised that you will be asked to produce a valid passport and explain why you try to meet single women on the VIOL Forum under the avatar, Virgin_Gordo. Sure, it's a hassle, but it's the law and that's why they say, "Choose Made In America." At least you won't have to declare any alcohol on the customs form.

I think that if I were to write and record a public service announcement for St. John, I would title it, DON’T BE A DINGHY, and it would go something like this: "Hi, I’m 54b, you may remember me from such educational films as: Drinking and Driving on the Right Side of the Road Can Kill a Buzz and Mongoose Road Pizza – Delicious But Deadly. But today I want to talk to you about dinghy etiquette. Because where you put your dinghy matters. And while storming a beach via inflated raft is one of the best and laziest ways to experience St. John, please remember to respect those beachgoers who came before you and avoid making your dinghy encampment a permanent fixture on their horizon. And now you know and knowing is half the battle. The other half is being a ninja."

Dude, are you OK? Are you having pre-trip blender practices? We missed your blue a** at Chesney tailgating. Next party around August/September. Don't lose this buzz, you are on a roll.

No worries, RP, got my blender on at Buffett on Saturday and more than made up for missing Chesney...pretty sure I took at least 5 years off my life expectancy outside Pizza Hut Park. Gotta love it, it's like happy hour at Woody's as far as the eye can see for an entire day...

Onward...

I'd like to live in a world where the Cruzan people installed a whole lot more of those free rum shot sample huts all over the place...like down at the DMV, next to voting booths, at the Proctologist’s office, in the stands at little league games, outside the U.N., at funeral homes, and especially next to neighborhood lemonade stands. That way I could be like, "sorry little girl, I know your Brownie Troop is raising money to go to Washington, D.C. to learn about stuff, but your disproportionately-mixed lemon flavored swill costs a quarter and that scantily clad Cruzan Rum rep with the emotionally unavailable father right over there is giving away free rum. So maybe you'll never make it to see our Nation's Capital, but at least you learned this valuable lesson about capitalism."
