Svelte Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I'm from the most famous country on earth and the leader of the Scandinavian Alliance - Norwegia! *hums* I know it takes a few guesses, with my lush golden tresses.... I hope there's enough seats on the bus for all of us. I just went through a painful personal life experience and I'm not sitting on anyone's Lapp.
Siegfried Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Now, now Red, I'll have no Negative Nancy's on one of my tours. Fine. I'll think positive thoughts by ignoring you. *Continues research on her Pre and puts headphones on*
WesternOutlaw Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 So now we've got to listen to this guy droning on about local history and crap? What does he think this is, a train trip? Tough crowd! I'm from the most famous country on earth and the leader of the Scandinavian Alliance - Norwegia! *hums* I know it takes a few guesses, with my lush golden tresses.... Welcome. I once knew this guy from there, his name was Schmelt. -had a lot of that "Euro-wit". In any case, we'll be on the bus for a while so we might as well make the best of it. (begins making shadow puppets when the bus turns eastward). Fine. I'll think positive thoughts by ignoring you. (whispers in microphone) And that ladies and gentlemen is known as a "Grouchosaurus".
Hinckley Posted December 21, 2009 Author Posted December 21, 2009 I'd like to view this pamphlet.

The tour guide was late and thus was holding up this tour, and he then made light of my efforts to progress with the actual point of this tour. As I'm sure you know, time is money, so at the least he should be docked some pay. *Puts in pocket and starts muttering as she returns to her research* Hopefully his local knowledge is better than his social skills.

WhiteFang Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Great country and lots of history. Big Ben, Windsor Castle, White Cliffs of Dover, great history indeed. -the sort of stuff that LEGO fans would build & blog in a World Adventure over on that web site, Classic-Town.net. (looking strangely at William Falcon). Ohhh! I read about that before. I remembered it was featured in National Geographic and History Channel before, especially on the World Adventure. It was an excellent program. My wife and I enjoyed it very much. I can't said much for my daughter, January (DJ). She wasn't really into historic ancient stuff. Guess it will be a fun trip going upwards. How long will the journey take us?
WesternOutlaw Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 *Takes out form and starts writing* (whispers to Hector) Keep an eye on that one. The last thing we need is another Heleanor on one of our tours. If she turns in anything at the end, just shit can it and tell her that her feedback is important to us.

If she turns in anything at the end, just shit can it and tell her that her feedback is important to us. Sorry Jameson, I don't have the authority to keep an eye on anybody. You'll have to talk to Randy or whoever our security guard is.
WesternOutlaw Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 How long will the journey take us? That would depend on Hector's driving. Hector, how soon will you get us there? Sit back and I'll share some facts about Devil's Island with you: Devil's Island, or as the French say, Île du Diable is the smallest and most northern island of the three Îles du Salut located about 6 nautical miles off the coast of French Guiana. It was a small part of the notorious French penal colony in French Guiana. During its existence as a penal colony (1884-1946), more than 56,000 prisoners were transported to French Guiana from France. Of this number, almost one-fourth returned to France. Many of those who evaded death in the jungle camps did so by escape, a feat that became increasingly difficult as the years passed. If you look outside the right side of the bus, there's one of the prisoners now. (just kidding).
Dannylonglegs Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Oh, I am glad we are getting started and the rain forest on the side of the road looks beautiful, Isn't it William? although it's alittle hard to make out through the lightning storm Are you going to confiscate the peper sprey I keep in my hand-bag, because it could be useful incase of an animal attack, I'm not sure what Animals live in this forest but I'm sure there are some hungry ones I look out my window and look for any animals, but am carful not to touch the walls of the buss as I feel they are unclean.
Hinckley Posted December 21, 2009 Author Posted December 21, 2009 Well dude, with this lightning storm, it could take a while. We have to make it to the ferry and from the harbor to the temple. About an hour I guess. It's 9pm now. The eclipse is supposed to start at midnight. I do hope it clears up by then. No point in paying so much money for the eclipse tour if there's no eclipse. Well, maybe we just can't see it. If it's cloudy, does the eclipse still happen??
WhiteFang Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 That would depend on Hector's driving. Hector, how soon will you get us there? I supposed our safety should be his top priority. Oh, I am glad we are getting started and the rain forest on the side of the road looks beautiful, Isn't it William? although it's alittle hard to make out through the lightning storm Yes, darling. It's beautiful, but it's a pity that we are unable to see far from this angle. I wonder if there is a brochure on the Eclipse tour. I left mine brochure back at my residence. Hmm, I wonder if there is one at the front of my seat where the pamphlet is located.
fallentomato Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 My apologies for taking so long with the security check. There were an alarming number of knifes that needed to be confiscated. As it states in the pamphlet, there are no weapons allowed on this tour. I have padlocked all of the knifes away in the weapons locker in the luggage compartment of the bus where they will stay for the duration of the tour. I have the only key to the weapons locker so you needn't worry. Knives would do you very little good on Devil's Island. There are jaguars there that would eviscerate you before you could so much as swipe them with a knife. Not that you need to worry about them. That's why I always carry this, *Holds up tranquilzer gun* Guns, that's where real security lies. Are you going to confiscate the peper sprey I keep in my hand-bag, because it could be useful in case of an animal attack. I'll let you keep it, but I ask that you don't use it on any of your fellow tour members (not even your husband). What the hell? That security wanker took my knife. My lucky knife! I've had that knife since, well, it came with the jacket. You will get your knife back after the tour is over.
Siegfried Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 If you look outside the right side of the bus, there's one of the prisoners now. (just kidding). *Pulls out feedback sheet and starts writing* Makes lame offensive jokes. *Puts back in pocket* I'll be sending this to the head office. I doubt I can trust Chuckles. As it states in the pamphlet, there are no weapons allowed on this tour. It was a tool, not a weapon. If you have trouble telling the difference, use a hand mirror on your face. Knives would do you very little good on Devil's Island. There are jaguars there that would eviscerate you before you could so much as swipe them with a knife. Not that you need to worry about them. That's why I always carry this, *Holds up tranquilzer gun* Guns, that's where real security lies. Jaguars I can handle without my knife. Anything more than that I doubt a tranq gun will stop before your throat has been slashed. Honestly, do you have any experience or have you just been playing Tomb Raider? The average animal will take at least a minute or two to go under...
Dannylonglegs Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I'll let you keep it, but I ask that you don't use it on any of your fellow tour members (not even your husband). Thank you, but you will not have to worry about that...
WesternOutlaw Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 (taps on microphone) Is this thing still on? Devil's Island is a most remote and dangerous place. The dense jungles nearby are filled with quick sand and the waters that guard it are infested with sharks. Lucky for us, we know a safe route. Is everyone ready for some Adventure? (All remain silent) I said, IS EVERYONE READY FOR SOME ADVENTURE? Stop writing! Fred: please add pens to the list of contraband. EDIT: and pencils.

Dannylonglegs Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Oooh I can't wait! I'm sure this'll be very exciting! *smiles at DJ*
WesternOutlaw Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 We'll that's sort-of what I'm here for... (Makes the sound of phone ringing into microphone) Ring... Ring... Hello. (pause). It's for Red. Seems someone wants to know what mysterious reason she's here for. (calls upon other tour customers) Who else wants to know what Red means when she says "sort of"? Oooh I can't wait! I'm sure this'll be very exciting! *smiles at DJ* Seriously, the jungles of these parts are nothing to take lightly. A wrong step can mean sudden death. :skull: On that note, please keep all hands and feet inside the bus while moving. Once outside, please stay on paved areas at all times. We wouldn't want anyone to end up like some of the prisoners did during their escape from Devil's Island.

We wouldn't want anyone to end up like some of the prisoners did during their escape from Devil's Island. What is that supposed to mean? What happened to them (aside from the obvious; they died), I find history to be fascinating.
Siegfried Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Who else wants to know what Red means when she says "sort of"? You really are pushing my good nature here. You ask a question, I give an honest answer, you ask for more details. It's personal and we're not exactly best chums or anything so let's leave it at that for now. Thanks. *Pulls out feedback sheet and starts writing* Asks personal questions to people he doesn't know in the interest of crowd entertainment. *Puts back in pocket* What else do you know about Devils Island? What are we going to be shown?
WesternOutlaw Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 What happened to them (aside from the obvious; they died), I find history to be fascinating. [/font] Many died slowly as they sank in quicksand, some stepped onto mud slides where they slid to their deaths over ravines, while others were captured and tortured by local Indian tribes. :skull: However, some say that there are treasures to still be discovered within these dense jungles, like pearls of priceless value.
Hinckley Posted December 21, 2009 Author Posted December 21, 2009 I wonder if there is a brochure on the Eclipse tour. I left mine brochure back at my residence. Hmm, I wonder if there is one at the front of my seat where the pamphlet is located. *You find no more pamphlets there. If you did, it would just contain the information your Tour Guide is telling you...*
