I hear it is the "concierge choice" xkurchun :D

AL, that video had me fooled at the beginning!!

I have not done it myself, but I've heard that Bare Watching is an experience you will never forget!

Hmmmm looks like the BARE WATCHING xkurchun is for men only. :eek:

Dena, those are two OUTSTANDING xkurchuns (fight seeing and bare watching). Do include Gary and me on the "must do" list.

The list of xkurchuns grows.

I received notice the adventure grocery-kart expedition is a GO. We will learn about the history, culture and economy of Shop-Rite. We will have a 1 hour, non-private expedition through the remote backcountry aisles, where we can see salmon, tuna, shrimp and other aquatic species in an ice-filled environment. Each group spends 30 minutes in this pristine, yet rarely visited, locale.

In addition, our group cleared the waitlist for the paint time trials. Yep, it's hard to believe, but for a lucky few they can watch paint dry!

Don't delay in signing on to these exciting new xkurchuns. No expense has been incurred to bring such remarkable enrichment activities to our growing band of TUSHees.

Cheers, Anne

So much to choose from. We may need to do a B2B.

I'm so confused with all the fabulous xkurchuns that we can choose from. I might just wait until we board and then decide. However, I've heard that there is very limited space on these xkurchuns, I'll just take my chances.

Nancy

Denise, I've decided to sign us up for the B2B so we can take full advantage of everything and not miss out!

For some reason I have been having a problem
with the early buzzered xkurchuns web site. Every time I get on it says all xkurchuns are full. Wait list only. I sure am hoping someone remembered Jan B & I when they signed up and put us down too.

Oh I know a great store to get all kinds of fish! On ice of course.

Back to Quenn of Denial, I'm mixed up about who should be queen (sorry Denise). For some reason I thought it was Anne, you know, Queen of de Nile.

Got to go study my xkurchun list. Oh, what the heck, sign me up for everything!

Donna - looks like we have both a Queen of Denial and a Queen of de Nile. Like all aspects of TUSH, the TUSHees will be surrounded by high quality non-passengers and an incredible, all-inclusive non-cruise experience.

If you can swing it, the post TUSH excursion to Denial is not to be missed!

Cheers, Anne

I've arranged several vans to pick us up for the Denial post xhurshun. So, Jim/Jan, not to worry. You are added to the list.

I secured the services of T. Leary (What a) Trip. The vans should be easy to spot - 1960's VW vans with "Peace & Love" and flowers painted on it.

Oh Thank you.
You know how I worry about these sort of things.

Oh goody! I'll bring my guitar & keyboard for the T. Leary (What a) Trip trip to Denial. Anyone have any 8 track tapes? Should be a trip! - :) Michele

Bunch of "bratty" show offs non Mushers - guess no one interested in my car, my BIG house, my private chef, designer clothing, jewelry, trips to yada yada just my worldliness - you all have ruined LCT and my forum - spoofing of course

Well finally we have a MUSH'er who is owning up to the fact SHE IS JEALOUS of our non-MUSH/TUSH hyjinx, xkurchons, all inclusive food and drinks, high class entertainment, exclusive van service, the B2B cruise as well as the post trip to Denial! :mecry:

Hey, I already owned up to being jealous of the Peoria stalk!!!

OOops sorry Karen! I guess we need to start some type of list of you MUSH'ers who have owned up to being jealous of our non-MUSH/TUSH!

Gee I love this board! :lct:

Michele
Clay still has every 8 track tape he ever purchased. I'll have them ready to go. ;) I think he must have been going through a Carole King phase when I met him. I'll also furnish the ear plugs. Can't remember the other titles, but it's a suitcase full.

Joanna,

Just call us "Minimalist, low-maintenance, TUSHees." Our slogan is "It's the littlest of things that mean so much."

Karen,

Any chance of locating a Denial cam?

All of you who are jealous of us TUSHees - Please remember that the first step to recovery is admitting you're jealous.

You can't "own what you don't acknowledge" - so says Dr Phil...OK I will miss all of you non Mushers and your "little" lives - like mine the best kind ..Joanna ;) ;) ;) ;)

Joanna,

It's our little lives that will just have to sustain us through all those days you are MUSHing. :hug:

Welcome to TUSH, Betty! Tell Clay we need his 8 track collection for a very good cause! TUSHees rule! :) Michele

Betty tushing???? My kind of gal--008 great memories :hug: :hug:

Betty, glad you're TUSHing with us! Come on Joanna, you still have time to switch and join the "in" crowd!

I am crying buckets, Donna, over my Mush "status"...some of my favorites are non mushers... :mecry: :mecry: :mecry: :mecry

To all of you non mushers:
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa can you find me in the night?
:mecry: :mecry: :mecry: :mecry:

I was MUSHing & now I'm TUSHing. I change cruises more often than anyone I know. I think the new 3 change rule was Regent's way of saying - "Betty, it's time to stop. Pick a cruise & sail."
Although you MUSHers are some of my favorite people, this TUSH group is going to rock. :banana:

TUSH is THE way cool group, Betty.

Denise - Did T. Leary (What a ) Trip confirm the vans are the VW Vanagons with the pop-up tops? You know - the ones where they are piping in the "used pot" smell. No self-respecting TUSHee would recognize a "new car" smell. This xkurchun is only available if you can TUSH with us.

Keep up the hard work, girlfriend. I am following up this morning on another xkurchun possibility. Keep your fingers crossed the TUSHees can let loose one more time.

Cheers, Anne

Another xkurshun?? Be still my heart. I do have to count my pennies you know, so keep it simple....we TUSH'ers like it simple....of course if I win big on the Moose races I can splurge

Suzie .. Rest assured that TUSH is, indeed, all-inclusive. No extra charge for all these extraordinary TUSH xkurchun experiences.

We spared, and incurred, no expense in arranging for all interested TUSHees to enjoy them from the comfort of their home keyboards.

So .. I'll see you at the Bar-Fly Fishing Watering Hole, okey-dokey? If we see pink elephants at the watering hole, well, it'll be another one of those TUSH bonuses!

Can't wait to do the vocal reprises with you and Ms. Merlot.

Cheers, Anne

Anne, vans are good to go. No new car smell, as these are the original VW vans used during The Summer of Love in SF. In fact, T.Leary assured me that they were never so much as cleaned since 1967.

We're planning on meeting up with you all at the Bar-Fly Fishing Watering Hole. Hopeful for a pink elephant sighting.

Betty, I'm so glad you decided to go Tushing instead of Mushing. We can enjoy the fabulous weather on Tush and all of the wonderful xkurshuns!

Nancy

Denise - that is fantastic!

I apologize but due to time zone differences, I just received word we have confirmed another xkurchun:

ROLLER DERBY

Join fellow TUSHees manoeuvering hair curlers for outstanding hair style results in artistic and technical categories for EXTRA TUSHee Tokens!

TSA approved hair gel, chiffon scarves and babuskas are permissible for participants. All supplemental supplies must be placed in your non-checked luggage.

Cheers, Anne

Darn, I have to pass on the Roller Derby - Short hair! Can I be one of the judges?

Denise - Of course you can be a judge. Would you like to sit to the left or right of Simon?

If you'd REALLY like to participate, two possibilities come to mind:

One: use the Lilt home permanent rods. The end papers come in handy for any number of uses.

Two: hair extensions. Pick 'em up at Walgreens for a pittance. You'll be mahvelous, dahling.

Cheers, Anne

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

I interrupt this xkurchun thread to say please sign us up for anything we may miss being offered from now until Sunday as we will be out of town.

and now back to your regulary scheduled xchurchn chatter...

We've got your back, Sue. Have a good weekend xkurchun!

Cheers, Anne

Oh, I'm all twittery, now! I've been saving empty orange juice cans for weeks, hoping Roller Derby would be offered on Tush; my prayers have been answered! I know the competition will be tough with the Sistahs going head-to-head, but I have complete confidence in myself!

Sue, not to worry. We will sign you up for any and all xkurchuns that pop up while you're gone. Have a great weekend.

Anne, you are one smart cookie! Hair extensions it is. Making a trip to Walgreens today after work.
