Popeye,

 

I include the following as a public service... the recipe for a Pangalactic Gargleblaster.   It's possible that Sjors can make one for you.

 

Recipe

1. Take the juice from one bottle of that Ol' Janx Spirit.
2. Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V.
3. Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).
4. Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it.
5. Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qalactin Hypermint extract.
6. Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger.
7. Sprinkle Zamphuor.
8. Add an olive.
9. Drink . . . but . . . very carefully . . .

but........that's anit-freeze mark!!!  you expect me to drink that!?!?!..LOL!  I think Sjors is trying to give me a spoiler!  thanks for the list Keith.......is that  'in order'  ?   gee......it seems everyone has read this......am I in my own little world?  I will have to see what all the hub-bub is about 

[themadchemist]

Yea that the order Popeye

[themadchemist]

I need to dig my set out and reread them, its been over a decade. I just recently reread all of Nivens Ring World set and am planning on rereading Hamiltons Nights Dawn Trilogy. Maybe I should see if there audio books for that, the 3 books were over 3500 pages and I can't hold a book and build ships. Now thats great science fiction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Night's_Dawn_Trilogy

I'd also love to reread the 2001 set, 3001 was my favorite, and Clarkes Rama series.....uh-oh i'm rambling again

[Sjors]

Here you are Popeye,

 

One cocktail ala Pangalactic Gargleblaster. …….

 

 

 

 

 

[augie]

Make mine tea ..... Earl Gray.

[Sjors]

Here you are Augie…..5 Euro please!

 

 

 

 

[DSiemens]

You know Popeye the only problem with picking up this book is it will take up a portion of your build time which means less pictures which means you know what for you know who.  

[realworkingsailor]

Well.. I think in this case, it's an absolute necessity. And exceptions must be made. And if problems arise, Augie and I can distract the one who must not be named....

 

Andy

[captainbob]

You must read the whole set.

The part I like best is:  Flying is not hard. It is simply a matter of throwing yourself at the ground and missing.

 

Bob

[realworkingsailor]

Now everyone... we've convinced Popeye that he needs to read one of the greatest books every written... we can't keep spoiling the story for him

 So Shhh!!  

 

 

Andy

[popeye the sailor]

I'll let you know when I get it............ha...ha....the admiral just asked me what the importance is in getting it 

[DSiemens]

Just tell her it's for "research" or you could tell her the truth that your online friends will mock you relentlessly until you do.  

[kiwiron]

Great job on your boats Popeye,i like your details touches,real good.

[popeye the sailor]

thanks Ron.......now all that is left is the finish on the Phylly C.   these two turned out ot be quite a build......they look great together on the shelf

[realworkingsailor]

Hey Popeye...

 

Haven't heard form you in a while.... must be the book..

 

Andy

[popeye the sailor]

sorry....haven't got the book yet.  I've been working on the AmericA build,  as well as bogged down with other things.   the sooner I get the AmericA off the table,  the sooner I can get on with the Goth........I wanna do ratlines too!

[slagoon]

silly silly man no they aren't reallllly that bad - I felt a lot of satisfaction doing mine.

[popeye the sailor]

on the contrary Sarah......everyone is doing their rigging but me.  I actually enjoy rigging.  I'll be there soon 

[rdsaplala]

Splendid detail work Popeye, those bits and pieces really do a good job of sprucing them up, they both look so real

[popeye the sailor]

thanks Aldo.........only one thing left to add to the Phylly C.....that's it     after that,  I can post them in the finished forum.   these two were fun to do 

[augie]

Looking forward to the 'reveal' in the Gallery!

[popeye the sailor]

I want to get these skis done so I can do just that Augie.   tired to get barbie to drop by......but she's too busy......I gotta get someone to help me size up these bindings.   I grabbed Chester from the wharf....he was kinda reluctant to do it.........but he dropped what he was doing and helped me.

 

[realworkingsailor]

Hate to say it, but Chester looks a little clubfooted for those waterskis... You might need someone with more... dainty feet..

 

Andy

[popeye the sailor]

I would have asked clara......but she was bitten in half by a great white..........so we use her for her clerical ablilities.   I wouldn't have hired her,  but she's Chester's half cousin........literally

[mtaylor]

No bones about it, Popeye.  You have great helpers.

[popeye the sailor]

yepper Mark......they sure are!   they were just hang'in around in my closet......so when I started the hobby,   I putt'em to work.   I don't have financial backing,   so.......I could only hire a skeleton crew.

 

 

from left to right.......is Larry,    daryl.........and darrel  {he spells his name differently, so I can tell them apart}......makes check write'in time easier too!  of course,  you met Chester........he like to hover over everyone,  to make sure they do everything OK...........

 

 

 

I mentioned Clara......she didn't want to get in the photo shoot.......always says her legs were her best assets.  since she don't got them no more....she feels she's worthless.   I keep tell'in her that she has the best clavicals of them all.  hey!  what can I say......she can't blush...LOL!

[Jim Lad]

Man, you really have parred your operation down to the bare bones, Popeye, but your crew need more backbone - they're gutless - I wouldn't rib you about that!

 

John

[augie]

You better up the payscale Popeye.  You're working these guys to the bone.  You've gone from shipyard to boneyard

[popeye the sailor]

I assure you.....good sirs.....that I am not a slum boss.   they were in this  'condition'  when I hired them.   when I posted the ad for the wharf,  I specified that they have some nautical background,  and that they have no residual  'baggage'.   this is about as  'baggage-less' as you can get.....so,  I hired them.
