A Little Reminder Of Our Cruise
I finally got around to putting away my dive bag today after stumbling over and around it in my closet for two weeks. As I hoisted it overhead, I noticed it felt a little heavy. Checking one of the pouches, I found myself an unopened bottle of St. Lucian water. Think I'll chill it down and take it to Phins To The West.
But that's not all I have left over from the Parrothead Cruise. Yeah, we polished off that 6-pack of Piton Beer from St. Lucia, and killed most of the bottle of Guavaberry Rum from St. Maarten, but I'm talking about something else left over from the cruise. A nagging, hacking cough. And I've had it easy. TFMCD was much sicker than me and still has it worse than I ever did.
Turns out from the emails I've seen pouring in from all over the country on the Cruise's Yahoo Group that of the 450+ Parrotheads on the cruise, somewhere around half or more of us caught what has now aptly been labeled The Cruise Crud.
Of course, we all know alcohol kills germs. I think I drank enough to kill a lot of them, but the viral "hangers on,' the microscopic version of the Spartan 300, got me. I probably needed a bit more tequila in my system. TFMCD cleary did not drink enough. Rock was a sick, Steve-O seems to be OK.
Of course, The Pirate Captain and Unruly Julie seem to have avoided the Crud entirely. What's that tell you about their intake of ETOH?
And speaking of the Spartan 300, do yourself a favor and avoid that ridiculous movie entirely. I only went because my son wanted to see it, and I was his huckleberry.
