Thread Drift...

[bepsf]

I love how our threads on the HAL boards change subject as we move along...

 

...anyone care to change the subject?

;)

[tomc]

Speaking of which...

[Old As Dirt Mom]

Quick, quick! Before this thread wanders its way into the Floataway Lounge, let's see if we can come up with a cruise-related detour:) .

 

The threads change as we move along because there is such a demographic diversity among HAL passengers. :) (Not to mention a disparity of opinion and a clash of personalities).

 

There, have I digressed enough?:)

There seems to be a rule on CC. All threads must eventually digress to smoking policies or ATAW dining. If not the Host must submit a hijack post.:D :D ;) ;)

For an anthropology project in college, I once audiotaped an entire dinner conversation among a group of my friends (with their advance permission, of course), and then drew a diagram of the various subject matters discussed, and how they were connected. Resembled a spiderweb when done (one constructed by a very imaginative - or very confused - spider, that is). Topic drift is just one of the pleasures of civilized discourse among friends, IMHO. Thanks for the thought, Brian.

Okay, I'll bite - I talked about this on the Cunard board, and was wondering about HAL. There was speculation (false) that the Cigar Lounge aboard the QE2 would be closed, and I was wondering if HAL might specify a lounge specific to cigar and pipe smoking to somewhat settle this problem?

I would still want my cigar at the midnight blackjack table, but I could settle for having a dedicated space on the ship!:)

And so what does everyone think about Park West taking over the Crows Nest:D :D ;) ;)

On Vista Class ships, the Oak Room off of Crows Nest permits cigar smoking.

 

Vista ships are Zuiderdam, Oosterdam, Westerdam and Noordam.

What a perfect space for a Cigar Lounge!

 

"Excuse Me - What are those little black dots on the painting?"

 

"That's "Art", Madam - Now what will you bid?"

[mmp13]

But the question remains...Can I wear my blue jeans with the black dots in the oak room while smoking my cigars???? but then... I digress;)

You have digressed in that charming and very tactful way that only you can do!!;) :D

Dearheart--

 

The Oak Room aboard Westerdam was recently obliterated in favor of the Exploration's Cafe.

 

Soon the same unfortunate "upgrades" will occur to Zuiderdam and Oosterdam.

Oh, shucks:o I've put my fat foot into my big mouth here more times than I care to remember......:eek:

 

Sher, you are the one with all the charm:) How did it go today with the Spicy Ladies at the market? (You see I'm doing my best to abide by the topic at hand, which is drifting.....:D )

Is it time for the evening show??

[Krazy Kruizers]

Is the water hot enough for you in:

 

The shower?

 

At the bathroom sink?

 

In the restrooms?

[ger_77]

The Oak room might be gone, but on the Maasdam I know the Hudson Room is still there - DH & his friend played their guitars in there a couple of afternoons.

 

Drifting along . . .

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

Ya know, if we don't stay on topic Host Walt might come in and shut this thread down. :eek:

Then waddaya gonna do? ;)

[mamaofami]

But, first Host Walt would have to figure what this one is all about! :D

[innlady1]

Is it time for the evening show??

 

I think it's almost time for breakfast!

[prescottbob]

Ahoy!

 

I understand (through the 'grape vine') that 'they' have shut down the Oak room due to 'sea termites' and lack of 'wine card' revenue.

 

Bon Voyage and Good Health!

Bob:)

How's the replacement pod working on the Oosterdam?

Before I "drop the kids off" or after?

You should look at the Noordam deckplans tonite and see what changes they've made!:confused:

 

(They've swapped the deckplans for Rotterdam this weekend...)

:cool:

This thread really reads like everyone hs ADHD issues of focusing and inattention. :eek:

 

Better be careful. There are meds for that.:D
