And when the news got bad the EDVs went on a road trip to "Gull Bay."


The EDVs walked across the meadow above Gull Bay ready for an all day picnic & some
serious snark. One EDV (not saying who) brought along her lap top, cell phone,
bluetooth, Newspaper, and radio. "Sharon, (opps) I will pitch that crap into the bay
unless you go back and stow it in you car." warned the Rev. as she fired up her Weber
Grill for the feast.



Bleever and Patsy had gone for a little walk by themselves and now were laughing
at everything. They get saying the phrase, "Groovy man groovy." and then started
laughing again. They had what that were calling their own "wild water filter." Just in
case they got stuck out in the woods and had to treat their own drinking water.



Other EDVs picked wild berries as Berry Bush slept on a Bay Air.





The day wore on and the EDVs spread blankets out to watch the stars and the northern lights
as a light breeze kept the bugs away. GK kept saying that such and such stars looked like
a man's unit .... and everybody laughed. Including the Raven who kept watch over the "goings on."

1. *snark*
Meanwhile, Botany and Ms Stephanie were nowhere to be found. But DG came running, swearing she heard strange noises in the distant cabin, and the familiar words "Uff-DAAAAaaaa!" echoed off the surface of Bleever Pond...

:rofl:

2. Please don't post "that picture" Rev
Please don't ..... I am begging you.



The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
When I saw some dancing EDVs.

3. I would never embarass you, Cuddles!
Before she left on the EDV tour, Stephanie was wearing this:


Shortly after DG's report, Stephanie came by the campfire wearing only this (and a smile):


And an enterprising web surfer found this on her laptop:

4. Thanx for not posting "the picture" Rev.
Edited on Tue Jul-25-06 07:00 PM by Botany
The EDVs awoke early in the meadow overlooking cooking Gull Bay. As they took
care of their morning needs Rev. was busy cooking pancakes w/ snark berries and
butter.



The EDVs gathered under the dining fly and drank coffee as the breakfast was being
served. Patsy and Bleever kept trying to sneak a special herb into the batter as others
gathered wildflowers for the breakfast table. Berry had brought along a friend for
breakfast.

6. Surprisingly,
the one saying, "Wow, the colors!" was bunny. Bleever spent the morning washing his sleeping bag in the pond, because he had accidentally knocked his special water filter and spilled the contents on himself and his camping equipment.

Sheridan barked at the sight of the bay airs, not out of alarm, but to count them as they ambled through the camp. CC took her pets out on a series of tiny leashes to ferret out more fresh berries.

Botany finally turned off his cell phone. The calls from Ms. Steph were coming in almost every minute, and yet he knew that he could not answer, for to do so would be to allow her to fall into his strong, well-informed arms, and thus deprive the nation of her desperately-needed voice for freedom and democracy. The Northern Lights showed as a tiny prism in the tear that no one saw, as he turned to face the blazing night sky.

21. Yeah, you are so right. He was the brown one.
When I discovered his true identity, I banished him (although he did make a fine mattress). The black Bay Air? The one who was conveniently available to accompany me to breakfast? Well...:evilgrin:

13. By the evening
Botany had thrown the phone in the lake.

Patsy and Sharon, since right after the breakfast dishes were put away, had been thinking about dinner. Unbeknown to Botany they had invited an all too happy Steph to dinner. She was ready to see what this new Lara Logan business was all about for herself. And she was packing a stiletto. Actually two -- and they were Manolos.

Provisions had been ordered from around the country and flow in by sea plane and carried by oxen. Whatever it took to make the perfect meal. Being two Jewish women, deeply rooted in their culture, they hired a good amount of help for the evening, including a celebrity Jewish chef. Then they set about relaxing with some Mojitos down by the water.

14. The goy help came back to camp w/ the fresh lox
Edited on Tue Jul-25-06 10:23 PM by Botany
"And to think how hard I work to keep this place Kosher." Said the jewish EDV.
"Good thing Rabbi Hersch, is not here right now, I would have to break all this good china ...
the help, sometimes it can give you an ulcer. The Bay Air means well but he got
the lox on the dairy plates. Oy! The help they are so slow .... but they do work cheaper then
the Solomon Brothers from the deli."

16. They do set a nice plate but $89.00?


this some, paper plates, napkins, and some salad? The Bay Air Boys are
a much better deal. And tell me that the one who brings the lox isn't 1/2
Jewish? I mean his back is so hairy and those brown eyes, please.

Bay Air-enstein I would have you know.

17. bleever lay dying.
He rasped out, in his gruesome condition: Bot...Bot...

Olney cried out, "He wants Botany!...But, you know, not in THAT way!"

The hue, along with the cry, was raised for Botany, while the EDVs who gathered around, ignoring the neatly set table with all manner of noshes nicely placed, inquired of the expiring bleever what had brought him to this too, too young end.

His throat dry, he gasped with undeniable valiance: "Tis better I die from laughing, than from tears."

A chorus (ralps and Olney, valiantly leading rusty charly and durrrty libby) cried "Behold, the html he holds in his dying hand! Read it, verily! Read it!"

The dying (and still waiting for Botany) bleever ("Where the heck is he, anyway?") handed up a small piece he had only barely been able to get into a text box:

Unbeknown to Botany they had invited an all too happy Steph to dinner. She was ready to see what this new Lara Logan business was all about for herself. And she was packing a stiletto. Actually two -- and they were Manolos.


They looked at each other and murmured, "Yeah, that was pretty good,' and 'Nailed that one,' and 'Woo Patsy,' and such things. It was little wonder bleever had coughed up a lung.


Finally, Botany arrived and bleever, after reading back through his post, remembered what it was he wanted to tell Botany before dying of laughing at something that even now was out of reach again, and that thing was...hang on, I got it...oh yeah: "Lara's eyes are filled with love. But her love is for her career. Steph's eyes show love of America, of its promise, and of the duty of each citizen to hold it to its promise, and dammit, Cuddles, when she hugs you and closes her eyes, it's the greatest compliment a woman can pay a man. She knows when she hugs you, she's hugging America."

bleever's eyes closed with the satisfaction of one who was now content to submit to his fate. He was still. No one could speak.

Suddenly, he coughed. Unbelievably, he summoned the strength to speak. The EDVs bent closer to hear, while Botany seemed somewhat distracted. bleever managed to croak out, very slowly, "All I want...is...my lung back..."

The EDVs broke into the kind of spontaneous and unexpectable laughter that had sustained them through some of the hardest years of their lives, years whose events they never had imagined possible in a post-Cold War world.

Even bleever chuckled, in a gurgly way.

18. Sadly, since this dreadful incident,
bleever became known as "bleever Cosby," and his voice was often used to flush out the quail during hunting season. However, it set the Bay Airs on edge, and they began growling and covering their ears.

Berry stirred, slapped her Bay Air in the rear, and muttered "shut up, BillO - I'm trying to get some sleep."

J.B.D.L. = The Jewish Bay Air Defense League

BTW on Lara :loveya: Logan v Stephanie :patriot: Miller, I can say only one thing.

CAT FIGHT
