They would all disappear from all the laughing that would be taking place on the ice. And it gets cold rolling around on ice.

I don't know if I could handle a laugh like that again. Plus the pics would come out all blurry and be of the sky. I laughed so hard the last time I read his last post. He needs to be in comedy for sure.

Now L.T. may be funny, but all of you are who make these threads so good. I will not admit how much time I have spent reading his threads and your posts. Took awhile, but I finally learned to put my water bottle a few feet away from my laptop.

So, which one of you is really this L.T. and is providing all of this entertainment???? I'm almost glad that my hubby is still in the hospital and can't hear/see me laughing so hard. You are hilarious. Thanks for the fun. Oh, need to tell L.T to beware of not only the Penguins, but the cats....

I think of him more as Wile E Coyote, looking up just in time to see the anvil coming down on his head.

I worked on a salmon fishing boat out of King Salmon, Alaska, back in the summer of 1995. I was in college, and a good friend of mine and me went up in the hopes of making a TON of cash.
It was some of the hardest work of my life. We worked 12, 14, 16 hour days of nonstop stacking of salmon trays on a rocking boat. We did eat really well, watched Seinfield episode tapes when there were no fish, and got to know a ton of sketchy, yet amusing, characters.
As for the money, we didn't make nearly as much as we thought we would. We wound up after 2 months, making around $3800. Yeah, that's it!!! With overtime and everything. Of course, we were only making like 6 bucks an hour. And we didn't work every single day, due to waiting on the fish to come in.
When we were finished, we had the choice of staying on the boat for another month, or coming back up for crab season and making "the big bucks." Everyone told us crabbing was one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. That's what kept us from going. I guess if you are up for extremely hard work, tremendous physical exertion, and have no major responsibilities, then go for it. It is a learning experience, and an experience of a lifetime, I'm sure!
