Kevin B (RPS Coach) Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Launch at 3:30 from the park and head out of the harbor to see what type of mischief we can get into Conditions have been more fun lately in the area so let's hope it continues. Typical SNG rules apply.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shewhorn Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Two questions... 1) Any other put ins close by that are free* (weekday parking is $10... not that I care too much but if there's something else close by, I'll take it). * If the "close by" involves walking through knee deep mud (not that I mind that too much either) $10 would be money well spent. 2) Where the heck is this place? It's apparently obvious to me that it exists, it's all over Google BUT... I can't for the life of me pull up an address 3) OK... there's a 3rd question. Do I need to bring a broomstick? 4) 4th question... there are 4 questions! If I float will I be burned at the stake? That's all the bad Salem humor for tonight (thank you, I'll be here all night (you can all groan and roll your eyes now) :-) ).

You could also just twitch your nose to get there >3) OK... there's a 3rd question. Do I need to bring a >broomstick?

Monty's response would be: Villager: We have found a witch, may we burn her? Crowd: BURN!! BUUUURN HER! Bedevere: But how do you *know* she is a witch? Villager: She looks like one! Other Villagers: Yeah! She looks like one!!! Bedevere: Bring her forward. (a young woman is pushed through the crowd of villagers to the platform. She is dressed all in black, has a carrot tied around her face on top of her nose, and a black paper hat on her head. She talks funny because her nose is closed by the carrot.) Witch: I'm not a witch, I'm not a witch! Bedevere: Er,...but you are dressed as one. Witch: THEY dressed me up like this. Villagers: No! nooo! We didn't! We didn't! Witch: And this isn't my nose, it's a false one! (Bedevere lifts up the carrot to reveal the woman's real nose, which is in fact rather small.) Bedevere: Well? One Villager: Well, we did do the nose. Bedevere: The nose? Villager: And the Hat. But she's a witch! Villagers: Yeah! Burn her! Burn! Burn her! Bedevere: Did you dress her up like this? Villagers: NO! No, no, no, no, no, no... One Villager: yes. Villagers: yes. yes. yes. A bit. yes. a bit. a bit. Another Villager: (hopefully) She has got a wart... Bedevere: What makes you think she is a witch? Villager: Well, She turned me into a newt!! (pause) Bedevere: a newt? (long pause) Villager: I got better... Villagers: BURN HER anyway! BURN! BURN! BURN HER! Bedevere: Quiet, quiet, quiet, QUIETA There are ways of *telling* whether she is a witch! Villagers: Are there? What? Tell us, then! Tell us! Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches? V: BUUUURN!!!!! BUUUUUURRRRNN!!!!! You BURN them!!!! BURN!! Bedevere: And what do you burn apart from witches? Villager: More Witches! Other Villager: Wood. Bedevere: So. Why do witches burn? (long silence) (shuffling of feet by the villagers) Villager: (tentatively) Because they're made of.....wood? Bedevere: Goooood! Other Villagers: oh yeah... oh.... Bedevere: So. How do we tell whether she is made of wood? One Villager: Build a bridge out of 'er! Bedevere: Aah. But can you not also make bridges out of stone? Villagers: oh yeah. oh. umm... Bedevere: Does wood sink in water? One Villager: No! No, no, it floats! Other Villager: Throw her into the pond! Villagers: yaaaaaa! (when order is restored) Bedevere: What also floats in water? Villager: Bread! Another Villager: Apples! Another Villager: Uh...very small rocks! Another Villager: Cider! Another Villager: Uh...great gravy! Another Villager: Cherries! Another Villager: Mud! Another Villager: Churches! Churches! Another Villager: Lead! Lead! King Arthur: A Duck! Villagers: (in amazement) ooooooh! Bedevere: exACTly! Bedevere: (to a villager) So, *logically*... Villager: (very slowly, with pauses between each word) If...she...weighs the same as a duck......she's made of wood. Bedevere: and therefore... (pause) Villager: A Witch! All Villagers: A WITCH! or for those who like the multimedia version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shewhorn Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 OK... so I can borrow the broom but I need to bring a duck (which is a migratory bird by the way, I still don't think that a duck could carry a 1 pound cocnut though)?

shewhorn Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I know ducks, I grew up around ducks. WRT carrying a coconut that duck is not going to cut it because that duck has a high cholesterol level and probably doesn't get enough exercise. I recognize her from the Burger King on Paugus Bay at Lake Winnepesaukee. Her diet primarily consists of french fries. (OK, I admit... that's a pretty fowl attempt at humor).

DeCourcy Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Methinks Kevin needeth refrain from watching Monty lest he becomes either a witch or a duck! Watcheth out for the waves! Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
