Thursday #80 Field trip!!!!!

[RICHARD]

I think we are on the road to Switzerland this week....

I do have a cold so I wanted to start the thread before I go home to self medicate myself.......

I can't think of a DOTD since we used swiss lemonade last week, so we will go for the standard hot libations w/your own twist on them..

-------------------

I was watching the news last night and saw that a monkey got loose in Youngstown, Ohio....


They tried to catch it with a banana, no go!!!

I don't remember exactly what happened to it, but it did get electrocuted when it climbed a power pole....Fear not, it did survive the ordeal.....He was shaken and then he stirred......

LOLOLOL, a little bar humor there.....

I thought of Mario and knew he wouldn't fall for the banana trick.....A beer???? THAT'S a different story....

So now, If you will all place your trays (NO NOT YOU, Tray!!) in the upright position and straighten your seatbacks....check your seatbelts and AWAY WE GO!!!!!


"this is you pilot speaking, You are now free to circulate about the cabin.....The bartender will take your orders and....

MARIO....THAT'S the auto pilot and that's the....NO, you can't hang your head out the window.........."

[lbaker]

we're leeeeaving on a jet plane
don't know when we'll be back again.....

Give the pilot a pigs foot and buy the monkey a beer on me! I brought a huge picnic basket with food because I don't dare want to rely on airplane food. Even if it is AIR THURSDAY

[trayi52]

Whew, I was wondering about this upright position! Wasn't quite sure what position that would put me in!! I thought I was going to have to sit on my head!

Great a trip, I have never been a trip like this before, this is going to be fun, and I know Mario is going to have a lot of fun too!

I'll start out with a Hot Buttered Rum and Mario will start with his favorite, a beer.

Thanks Richard!

Ooh! How about a mug of hot Swiss chocolate with marshmallows!

[lbaker]

Hot Swiss Chocolate WITH MARSHMALLOW of course and a hot buttered rum. DONE! hmmmm, something tells me I should fix up a batch of hot buttered rum. Beer for Mario of course. Look at him with his little flight attendant uniform on, silly boy Mario, you are supposed to OFFER peanuts, not throw them around the cabin

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

How about some good Swiss wine? Yep, they make wine there too, and Swiss Air - which is now just Swiss - used to serve it on their planes. Pretty good too I might add, especially when you're stuffed in the "not business" and "not first" class cabin.

Of course at Air Thursday we're ALL first class...oops, I mean in first class.

Yep, looks like Tray is upright, so away we go! I'm so excited! I LOVE Switzerland! Can't wait to wake up to the sound of the cow bells clanking in the hills!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

And here's the view from our hotel room. It's hard to see, but between and behind the two near peaks is a snow covered peak - Jungrau - billed as The Top of the World! I don't remember the name of the hotel we're staying at (across the street from this pic), but it's one of the finest historic hotels in Interlaken. It's a good thing this is a cyber trip because I don't think we could afford to stay there otherwise.

Since I'm playing tour guide here, these are some of the activities we'll be partaking of on this trip:
Trip to the top of some of the Alps
Bicycle Ride
Train/tram rides
Tour a "mobility" museum in Zurich
Hikes in the Alps
Fine dinners
Seeing an authentice Alp Horn Player and yodeler (no, the yodeler is NOT Gini)
And just partaking of the beautiful serene landscape.

[lbaker]

And for your in-flight entertainment ladies and gentlemen we have a brief skit... as Heidi, that little ol' yodeler herself Ms. Gini. As The Grandfather, well... seeing as how the bartender is also flying the plane.... The Thespian Mr. DavidP!! Let's give them a rousing welcome YEEEEAAAAAA!!!

[DJFyrewolf36]

Yehaw! I was wondering when Thursdays would open!

Two beers, Remus is feeling fisty today

I'm looking forward to the trip!!!

[davidpizzica]

Me?! A GRANDFATHER?! Well if you can get ma a big cup of hot chocolate with Plenty of marshmallows (if Mario didn't eat them all), I'll be the grandfather.

[gini]

O.K. - MIZZZZ BAKER! I WILL yodel for everyone IF I can be promised that we will have some honest to goodness Swiss Fondue! Ymmm, yum..........haven't had it for years!

Well, will you listen to Mario? He is trying to imitate me - errr, or am I trying to imitate Mario?

Where's that bartender? A cold - oh, like we really believe that...........he's up there learning how to fly!

Let's start making a racket back here - that will get him!

See, here he comes!

Oh look - Richard has on those cute leather pants with the hat with a feather. Whadda you call those pants? Leiderhosen?
Check out those legs girls (snicker)

[trayi52]

Now that woke me up, did you say legs? Where?

Nother Hot Buttered Rum for me and wheres Mario, is he flying the plane?

The plane, the plane!!

[Corinna]

Oh gooddy it trip time can we go to zermatt its a great place to shop,ski,and there are NO cars you walk or go by horse drawn sleigh. oh jingle bells jingle bells

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Zermott and the Matterhorn are definitely on the schedule Corinna!

And yes, Gini, you can have all the authentic Swiss Fondue you want! I agree - yuuu-mmy! By the way, did you know that you can buy authentic Swiss fondue at the grocery store? It's usually in the "exotic" cheese department in a box. Just put it in the fondue pot and melt - yuuu-mmy!!

Hey, anybody seen Slick lately? I hope she didn't take Mario and go hiking in the Alps without a guide!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]
