The view from the balconey!

This is the view from the balcony of our room. It was in the exact back of the ship so you could see the wake as we sped down to the Bahamas.

It was a lot of fun to sit on the balcony and have a cocktail while the sun was setting.

The aptly named poop deck. Or, as it is sometimes known, the shit-faced deck.

Welcome back to the fight. I know this time our side will win.

Keep those pictures coming.

Those are the rooms spouses pick when they want to push their mate overboard. Was it the Natalie Wood suite?

Nick, your train of thought is "Double Indemnity."

@Yashu: You are correct. It was my doing. I didn't mean to summon fiona and was shocked when s/he appeared.

MamaM said...

Good stories on that thread. Such was my tiredness and mood that El Pollo's chirp of "Are there any "tards" in your immediate family?" set me laughing.

yashu said...

Oh I know Chick, it was an accidental summoning. Like sometimes happens on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Maybe you could see Balconey Island.

I once got into a disagreement on Althouse over the origin of the term "poop deck." My adversary gave convincing evidence but never explained the equivalent Dutch term kak dek which is etymologically unrelated to "stern" or "poppa" or "pupus" or any of the words used in the OED reference. I explained link.

Either the Dutch term was backformed from the English (retaining the the fecal meaning of "poop." or the OED is full of kak.

I feel like putting this argument up at Lems to see if I can summon Queastor.

I would appreciate yashu's and MamaM's learned opinions on this.

The Dude said...

To which I say again: NINERS!!!

Sixty, It was a great game. I don't live and die w/ the Packers. My wife sort of does.

TPD could be an alternate term for TOP.

Fear of Flying - it's not just a bad book, it is a mental illness.

Lawnboy is slipping.

Re fiona mcfiddlefaddle:

Someone very near and dear to TOP regularly refers to the blog as "the Althouse blog". It's like a tic.

;)

The Dude said...

I remove tics when they get on me.

Or is that ticks? Either way, the fewer blood suckers you have in your life the better.

Fear of Flying is gawdawful, like most of the seminal (heh) literature of that era which I (to my discomfort) took a tour through in my youth.

Now, Regard of Flight, which is available on YouTube is hilarious. If you think you don't like clowns/mimes, I highly recommend it. 45 minutes of mostly physical/silent comedy.
