See the HMS Pottymouth

“Just three photos from the weekend trip with mapleleaf and her family are at Webshots page”

“The pictures I want to see are the ones of treebeard trying to get it in to the apartment and the audio that goes along with them.”

“Unfortunately, I was not in the Big Apple for that stellar performance.

At some point, the New York City Tourism Board will discover what an asset the tree family is to the Big Apple. Broadway, the Yankees and Mets, Madison Square Garden, Times Square, the Empire State Building, and the tree family apartment in Brooklyn.”

“I keep trying to find the proper song from HMS Pinafore to modify in honor of this fine craft, but can't seem to decide which one to hack up modify.”

“Ok, folks. The kayak from hell hath wrought some fury in it's path. It was placed on our roof on Sunday night. The fire inspectors came and saw it on Monday. I have a not-to-happy building manager as I was informed that the building got fined and may lose it's insurance over mismanagement by using the roof for storage. In the interest of fairness, this is not the only thing that the building was taken to the carpet on. But this was a prime contributor. I guess timing is everything. It was only to be there for two days.”

“heheh we had to put it in our niebghors apartment.
it is soo freaken long. it takes up most of there hallway.”

“Add this to my list of "Must Dos":

Meet tree family.

You guys are a riot!”

“I'm still trying to figure out what a "niebghor" is, and why the tree family has one...”

“You two lead such interesting lives. I'd love to hear the kids stories at school (as long as no one gets to hear my kids stories).

Rick”

“I'm smellin' a movie in this one.”

“Should be more like "A Kayak Is Fined In Brooklyn". lol....”

“NOT FUNNY BIT,

it's takin 2 days to have treebeard talk to me nice without that mean undertone he had!!


it was kinda like "I love you honey"

tree "I LOVE YOU TO" but gritting his teeth.”

“What?

Is he talkin' like he's got a kayak up his butt?”

“It's not destined for MY butt, Tom!”

“Oh, THAT's how you ride those things!”

“um i'm hoping that your not talking about MY butt tree darling.

LOL you trouble makers!!”

“How long can you tread water?”

“Lasciate Ogne Speranza, Voi Ch'Entrate...”

“I do believe Mr. Treebeard is a little sensitive on this subject, for good reason. LOL
Hang in there treeman, this too will pass.”

“So will the kayak! (Innuendo)”

“FYI
i named it

Miss Betsy”

“LOL SS.”

“The HMS Pottymouth is a fine craft, worthy of many many days on whitewater rivers. It would be such a shame if it were decommissioned.

One more time Mapes, I will be more than happy to store it for you (he said, wringing his hands in anticipation of Sundays on the Delaware).

Just trying to help bring about peace in the forest.”

“All of this angst over storing the HMS Pottymouth is taking away from discussion of its beauty and craft.”

“Love the station wagon "keel."”

“LOL did you know that its white under all that dirt

LOL”

“It must be getting serious if Treebeard is invoking Bill Cosby's Noah's Ark routine, LOL”

“Y'know, if you put the kayak on the car upside down, you can just flip the car when you get to the water. Voila! You don't even have to remove the 'yak from the car! Flipping it the other way when you get back to the shore is a little trickier, though....”

“You remember that one, eh Tilt?”

“Y'know, if you put the kayak on the car upside down, you can just flip the car when you get to the water


umm didnt ted keendy already try that and found that it didnt work very well?”

“"Hang in there treeman, this too will pass."

Passin' a kayak oughta hurt!”

“Pay the storage bill...”

“think they will let me sleep there tonight?”

“Let's see... I used to know how big a cubit was...”

“Riigghhttt!”

“Marrying Maple and living in Brooklyn, ... Tree, ya have my admiration. You are a true man.

But it is a nice kayak, you have to admit. And Mapes owes ya a lot of free rides.”

“thank you geo.
I do love it. and i do owe tree for alot of things. but the most i owe him for is how happy he makes me :)”

“ok, im sucking up


but i do you owe him BIG TIME,
time to send the kiddies to an early movie!”

“Geo, let me state my position. It is a beautiful kayak. And once the storm (plus it's possible residuals) blow over, I will once again desire to see it in my field of vision. I will want to play in it and enjoy it the way it is supposed to be enjoyed. Unfortunately, right now, I don't even want to look at it!”

“umm and what kind of mean things have you been thinkg about my Miss Betsy????

spill the bean dude!”

“Maple one other reason to flip it upside down on the roof of the car. It will noot fill up with water in a rain storm.”

“LOL i thought about that on my way home when it was raining. i got worried about the kayak getting wet.


thank you geo for posting the pic. i have yet to get my done.”

“Kind of hard sit in it and paddle the kayak when it's fastened to the car upside down! You couldn't see where you're going! Do I have to explain everything?

Jeeeeeeeeeez!”

“You just need a car with a sunroof, Geo...”

“Tree, it's opportunity time. Buy a marina to store the HMS Pottymouth and rent space to other boaters and you'll get rich and be able to afford Maple! Otherwise, your life will be a living hell.”

“I don't know if a single bean constitutes a 'spill'.”

“what ben?
and where did it come from??”

“I can make up the overhead by towing cars and storing them in the marina...


then charge $185 a car to get them out. The 'Car Motel'. Cars check in- but they don't check out...”

“The more stories I hear, I get the feeling that you guys are like a combination of "I Love Lucy" and "The Honeymooners".

LOL”

“Come to NY and you'll see...”
