The Envelope, Please:
OK, the answer to yesterday's quiz is #12, "All of the above," but only if you accept the geographical/astronomical premise of #11, which I believe I have adequately proven. I could also have added the following:
1: Yes, I got my toenails painted, and they are quite fetching. They have a blue sea with a shark fin, against a pinkish sky. I have only a vague recollection of the incident.
2: Yes, but in my defense, I did look around my deck chair, didn't see it, and thought I must have already packed it. It should also be noted that .11 left his binoculars at the same bar. That's some tip them damned Frenchies picked up that day.
3: Completely out. We had to go back to Miller Light, which is generally my first choice anyway, but the Bud came in those cool aluminum bottles and stayed cold longer.
4: I think Vickie from Queen Creek had something to do with this one. It was a "If Lost, Please Return To...." thing.
5: The Islamorada Seafood restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale has a collection of iguanas who crawl all over the patio, including into the dishes and silverware. This big bastard (6' long or so) was hanging out on the tiki bar roof when we got there, but later came down to extort food from us. Even he wouldn't eat the shitty conch fritters they make in that joint, but he had a taste for lettuce. We figured the other lizards constituted his stable, hence the nickname, borrowed with respect from the true one and only.
6) Yes - a six pack of Piton, a bottle of guavaberry rum, and one of the three bottles of The Captain I hauled out there.
7) At a dive site a mile or so offshore on St Kitts, a wrecked freighter lies at 60'. There is actually a small bulldozer on the wreck, but I couldn't get it to start. I think it was flooded.
8) Hoser threw the napkin at me, hit me, and it fell into the pool. It dissolved and looked just like a load. Everyone that came by, I'd ask "You know what that is?" I thought Hoser would pee himself, he was laughing so hard.
9) OK, maybe that's semi-true. It was smuggled rum, but it was mixed into a cold concoction and in a water bottle provided by the cruise. It floated nicely, and could be seen for some time bobbing on the gentle Caribbean waves. Some Cuban now has a nice water bottle with my wife's name on it.
10) So sue me. I didn't have my GPS at the moment.
11) I think I've proven my point on that one. Prove me wrong, and I'll admit it. Sure as hell looked like the Southern Cross to me!
