How the hell can it be the Norwegian Cruise Line when there aren't any dirty Scandi's on the ship.2

So we finish our snack and walk around the ship. It's a drizzly nasty day so we don't want to be outside in the rain as we sail out of the harbor past the statue of Liberty and the Verrazano Bridge. We go to the lounge which is in the very front (bow) of the ship and get a primo seat in front of the giant windows that face out. We start ordering drinks since they have a cocktail service. The wife orders some vodka as she doesn't want any cheap wine which is probably what they have going by the food (fucking turkey pastrami). So things are looking up for Trooper York. Then the lounge band starts to play.

First they start with the theme to the Loveboat. OK that was pretty cool. Ironic don't ya know. But then they segue into every cheesy wedding song you ever had to hear while you were sitting at your cousins wedding for what seems like twenty years. Funky town. Boogie Down. Play that funk music white boy. The Electric Slide. It was like being at giant floating wedding.

Of course the wife wouldn't let me dance. I am not allowed to dance in public. She says that when I get out there I turn into a cartoon character. Like the Mask.

I beg to differ. I always strive to act like a cartoon character.

The hell?? How sad to hear that you just CAN'T ESCAPE THOSE SONGS, no matter where you go.

We met with the DJ a week before our wedding, and told him we didn't want any of those "wedding songs" played. He played them anyway. During the reception, we kept going up there and telling him to stop. Played them anyway. *sigh*

It's a conspiracy.

Funny The Mask. Jim Carrey was funny in that.

You know you write so much and so fast and damn well too, a newspaper should put you on their payroll.

You'd get them readers I bet.
