Thank you for asking -- I was also wondering.

And, thank you, Merion Mom, for posting the thread where it all started.

Look what else I found: http://www.gwall.de/MOS.htm

You guys are a blast!

 

What the heck am I doing reading all this now? I leave for Fort Lauderdale in THREE DAYS for my cruise on SATURDAY and I cannot focus at all!

hmm, ...

If I didn't have a headache before I do now. LOL

Not only that, but try reading the first few pages, and then last few pages and see if they have anything in common. Thats why I was so confused until I too read the pages (indicated by Merion_mom).

NO! NO, don't do it!! :p

You won't make it! After about 20 pages, your eyes will be permanently crossed, and you will miss your cruise.

Wait for the book or the movie. :D

 

Page 22 Post #425 and away it went to still more enjoyment for everyone

Yes, it's pure madcap mayhem! (but only if you GET IT) :D

What is Mustard of the Seas? I think people are referring to Jewel of the Seas maybe... but why? Thanks, sorry for the stupid question, I must have missed something :p !

:D No you aren't the stupid one! I just HAD to know myself, as we will boarding "The Mustard" ourselves this Sunday! I wish I had read it sooner. Where am I gonna find a yellow boa at this late date!;)

Mommabean - after reading 200 + pages, the "reader's digest" version is some people with a great sense of humor and a love of cruises, started a thread to joke about what is wrong with cruises. Things such as "why do they make us get off at the end, that's rude".

 

In the middle of the thread someone joked about going to the "muster drill" and thinking they were going to be served mustar"d" and pretzels. From there all sense was lost! They started talking about starting a business of selling mustard snacks. They said the whistle on the life vest is to call the mustard/pretzel cart, the light on the life vest is so they know why they have servered already, the yellow stains on the vests are obviously from sloppy people who ate the mustard, and so forth.

 

If you have a few days, it is pretty funny. What is even funnier is that some people who read their posts thought they were serious.

:D TRY! :D

 

 

First try:;)

 

There once was a cool bunch of cruisers

Who, fed up with whiney-face losers,

Created a thread

With fake problems instead

And came up with some absolute doozers

 

But in reading through page after page

I learn that it's now all the rage

To use condiment themes

For the Cruise of our dreams

And so mustard now takes center stage

 

Although I must sadly admit

I don't know how well I would fit

On a mustard-themed cruise

Since it's mayo I choose

I have greatly enjoyed all your wit

:cool:

A tribute...

 

A cruiser once posted his notion

Of pleasantly sailing the ocean

Free of those who would whine

At his favorite cruise line

Never knowing what he set in motion

 

His thread grew and grew

Splitting posters in two

Between those who did, and did not get it

 

Ten reasons gave rise

To enormous thread size

And a mustard hued ship to his credit

 

And thus our OP became Captain

With staff and crew ready for action

Come aboard, have much fun

Real complaining's not done

Or the cannon will cause your extraction

:cool:

After Gunnar started the "whining about RC" part of the thread, the original intent, we just got carried away.

 

One of the "fun topics" was the misuse and mispronunciation of common cruise-related words.

 

Steward..........Stewart

Captain Speaking ("This is your Captain Speaking")

 

Next thing you knew, it was Mustard Drill. Then we had to discuss what KIND of mustard, and how we would start up a concession to amuse and feed our fellow passengers during the boring drill.................

Those WERE very good definitions. It's more than just a meaning...it's a whole concept that must be understood. It is sinking in now. Thank you!

 

As for "Captain Speaking" - I do remember reading about him. Oh, how I wish I could meet him. ;)

 

So, is a MOS cruise one that consists of those who "get it"? The ones from that original thread where it is all explained in detail?
