[prism {*RgR*1*}]

*laughing*


"woobies likes that sound.. do it again...* (as Kar smacked Rags for being bad in the car)

NO cheesy puffs for YOU!!  *evil laugh*... (woobie, as she kept her puffs from Ragnar)

woobie to Jamie at dinner: "Does it count as crab legs debris field if the person it landed on didn't notice?"
Jamie: "Nope"  (as we both look over toward Kitya at the next table and wonder where it hit exactly)


*HOWLS*

dee in the bathroom shower filling up water balloons for a game.. Most of the other women sitting out on the porch, but a few people in the motel room sitting on beds and talking..The women outside hatch a plan to steal the water balloons for the game and drown the Ubar with them instead...  woobie wanders in the room, picks up the bag of full balloons UNDETECTED.. and walks out with them to hide them... Rags stops her on her way out of the room..

Rags: woobie?
woobie: *freeezes*.. yeah?
Rags: will you get me more ice and wet please?
woobie: *relieved*.. sure.. *sets down the bag of balloons, and takes his cup and fills it up and hands it back, then picks up the bag again*
Rags: thanks
woobie: yeppers... *scoots on out of the room, stealing the whole supply of water balloons for the women outside...

NO ONE IN THE ROOM NOTICED ~~~~

and well.. Ubar got wet.. LOL

[kelsey]

woobie:..."i love you kels"
kels:..."we are so gonna get you for this woobie"
(during the Gorean Fear Factor)

Rags:  "Daughter!!"....that was directed to me and dee interchangeably...

Kar:..."lalalalala"  (hands over ears)

Rags dunking each one of us in the pool

woobie telling the story of Ubar Duffy stealing Christmas balls from the tree....(and lots of other Duffy and Dina stories)

Vala:  poking dee's tongue to see if it really was numb

Kitya and her red swimsuit....

[Buddha]

hmm well.. I remember a few things as well. I remember showing up and being made to feel like an immediate part of the Tuchuk family. I remember everyone's smiles and laughs and giggles and guffaws as we kicked back, made small talk, spun some yarns, and had a relaxed wonderful time. I remember the looks on the ladies faces as they, with closed eyes, put their hands and feet into bowls with some rather interesting contents. I remember the fun of putting faces to online names. And in one particular instance the sudden delightful shock of  "I know that girl" when my slow brain finally put two and two together with someone's identity. I remember sitting up all night for two nights talking about everything and nothing, the subject of discussion not really as important as the camaraderie.

And I remember that it was fun and I'd like to do it again.

[just me]

i remember recieving a phone call from kels and getting to speak to everyone, and immidiately being made to feel wanted, loved and missed, next year, i PROMISe it will be different, -hugs kisses and snifflin nuzzles to all-

[Thalia]

The very first thing Rags said to me, with arms open wide: "deeeeeee-mon daughter!!!!!!!!"

Ben, noticing that dee-mon and Rags are wearing the same bedroom slipper moccs for footwear: "Look down!"
Rags: "We really ARE related!"

Vala to Donnie, who was playing his guitar: "I want the pick!"
Donnie, before placing it between his teeth: "Come and get it!"

Rags to dee-mon after a difference of opinion: "You are NOT my daughter."
Then a drunken dee-mon accidentally lets one rip...
Devon: "What the hell was THAT?!"
Rags: "Yep, you're my daughter."

Kar dancing better than the dee-mon... and Rags covering his eyes, trying not to look at his daughter drunkenly shaking her booty...

dee-mon standing in a shower, glasses off, filling water balloons... and then, glasses still off and functionally blind, dee-mon approaches Devon and asks, conversationally, "Do you still have a book in your hand?" Devon replies, "Huh? No..." and dee-mon NAILS him with a water balloon -- and gets two swats and a brief hand-to-hand tug-of-war while Devon tries to administer more swats...and then he gives up, 'cause the dee-mon, braced low, won the tug...

dee-mon suddenly gets the hang of a self-bondage rope-tying demo under Buddha's proud eye and Ben... suddenly needs to leave the room for a cigarette... We do think that was FEAR in his eyes... Hehehehehe...

Devon approaches with a water balloon, all set to exact vengeance on the dee-mon, who is on her LAST change of clothes and must sleep in them... The dee-mon growls, "You do, and I'll KICK YER ASS!"  The balloon is not tossed... and Rags looks up wih eyebrows raised, knowing the dee-mon is TRULY his daughter, if ever there had been doubt...

Those long talks with kelsey, my roomie...

The way Vala's nose crinkles impishly when she smiles...

The way the whole world lights up when woobie smiles...

The way you just KNOW a dirty thought is going through ameeshia's mind when SHE smiles...


The way Buddha's serene smile makes his mustache spread...

The way the dee-mon discovered she really is fit for a collar and LOVES the smell of leather, the way hubby's eyes lit up, seeing the dee-mon that way, and the looks on the faces of all those who discovered the beautiful, sensual feel of rope...

And all those hugs I got before heading out, including this BIIIIIG one when Buddha leaned back and lifted me straight off my feet, and the way Rags enveloped me in those huge arms of his...

I'm sure I'll think of other things, but I wanted to share these moments now...

[prism {*RgR*1*}]

oh hell yessssssssssssssssssss

they wear the same shoes... they fart the same... they are SOOOOoOOOOoOOo related!!!

LMAO!~

[Vala]

Getting out of the car and seeing Rags with the most wonderful smile that touched Me deeply inside..

Vala

[Kitya]

hmmmm.. let's see...

driving in the rain most of the way there and discovering that Columbus peoples don't know how to drive

Rags INFORMING me to get my ass in the pool so he can give me a hug and then immediately dunking me and unzipping the zipper on my swimsuit.

Donnie asking me if he was safe around all these women

learning what a Carribean haze and a Blue Smurf were.... *chuckles*

talena and I teaching these city folk the PROPER way to throw a frying pan

the blush of the owner of the Motel when she told me she walked in on Donnie sleeping... *lol*

discovering that Kar hates being called a goddess even more in rt than she does in Camp!

Rags POUNDING on my door sat morning and INFORMING me that I'm going to breakfast whether I wanted to or not...

my wonderful back massage that I got sunday before I lefted...

and pretty much aaaaaallllll of the chics INFORMING me that Donnie was way too cute and that they wanted a clone of him and that they're totally jealous... 8lol* Never mind the fact that I don't get to touch him either!!

I'm sure I'll think of more too.. *lol*

[Amber]

-pouts- Worst memory...THE FACT THAT I WASN'T THERE.

[Ayelen]

And in one particular instance the sudden delightful shock of  "I know that girl" when my slow brain finally put two and two together with someone's identity.

~BOL~  Buddha, I thought you were MAD at me... coz everyone is mad at the bear some point in time... and I was trying to figure out what I done did now... coz the way you kept looking at me I was sweating bullets!!  ~licks~  That "clicking" hug was the best...   Course the best part was you getting me wet a few times... I needed you on the ride home dernit... them spank coupons have no expiration date too ~grins and winks~  ~leaves bear hugs~ 

~edits to remind self to burn off more spank-woobie-for-free coupons too~

Now to other stuff ......

Okay... ~wiggles~  Um, throwing the frying pan and nearly hitting my Cherished and thinking "I"m SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DEAD" and then getting it stuck in the ground and all muddy and watching the others go "EWWWWWWWWWW" touching it but hehehe... I won the toss... ~flexes bear muscles~  ~high 5s to Kitya though she threw her back out~

Finally getting there exhausted as heck but getting all those hugs that woked me back up ---- even though I lost my keys.... and it became a mad quest of looking for bear's keys...

Losing my keys a second time (in the pool) and not telling anyone and diving in for it when I found it (whew)

Locking my keys inside my room and having to humble myself before the motel dude...

Meeting someone I liked from the moment I met her online --- and liking her even more in real life --- Vala.  ~huggles~  I just LOVE how that nose crinkles when you smile!  I love ya much yanno. 

Watching Kar and deemon dancing and Rags just ... giving THAT look...

Watching the men try to start the cooking fires... (psst.. how many Tuchuk men does it take .... ~coughs and runs~)

Watching my a-s totally snockered and having a deserved good time!

Seeing my Cherished again and snuggling with him and my baby woobie too ...

Challenging my Cherished to the ultimate of Monopoly games...

The tears when I had to leave ....

I can't wait for next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ameeshia{B}]

The extended weekend for me was so refreshing. Everyone was "FABulous". A GIANT thanks to Ragnar and woobie for all their work they put into this as well as any others that helped. I flet immediately accepted into the Tuchuk family by one and all and completely enjoyed meeting each and every one of you.
I am extremely far behind in work and things around the house and am hoping to post more later. But i want to let each and every one of you know that I miss you muchly.

~snuggles her pretzel twin~

[prism {*RgR*1*}]

*thinks more*

not knowing what dee had in that big styrofoam cup but caving in to her "try it woob, try it, try it, try it, try it!!!".. and finding out I downed a poor little smurf.. LOL

ameeshia and woobie trading breakfasts halfway through cause we couldn't decide which crepes to have so we ordered one of each and swapped...  and Buddha, Rags and Devon just laughing at us when we did... then the whole .. one pie each for dessert or one piece of pie each .. and how long would it last... (mine only half made it to the car, I bet amee's only made it to the freeway)

beating down the connecting door till Kar woked up.. Jamie said to... *wicked grins and giggles*

watching Kar and realizing that Jamie was as perfect for her happiness as she has been telling us.. .. and listening to him do the "Swedish Chef song" so perfectly that you just had to crack up and Kar doing the little bouncy happy chair wiggling as she laughed at him doing it.

But, I think the best thing was watching everyone enjoy not having to be anywhere or be anything or come as they weren't... just relaxing and playing and laughing and being comfortable around each other. ..

[Thalia]

Another memory: Ben showing woobie the best way twist the end of a straw for maximum blow dart effectiveness -- and woobie shooting a serving wench ALLLL the way across the room -- in the ass. *LOL*
