Time to swim on to Jupiter.

*swim, swim, swim*

So, is Jupiter a chocolate bar?

Maybe we could get Joanna or Aendr to turn it into one.

*Bob ... Bob ... Float*
Now if chocolate bars were space type things, Snickers would probably be horrible, three foot high, horribly be-weaponed insectoid things that ate all the Opal Fruits. Bring back Marathons I say. Much better naming chocolate after classical battles than embarrasing diseases in my opinion.

I agree - and the last time I ate one, they were called Marathons. I didn't like them - too peanutty. I like peanuts, and I like chocolate. I also like raisons. But seperate. Putting them together would be like eating icecream and chips in the same bowl together. Yuk!
Very bad for the stomach - I better not go near the waterslides after thinking of that one.

One of my favorite candy bars is a Baby Ruth. And Almond Joys. Mmm, they actually brought a commercial from the 50's out of retirement and began showing it again. Very eye catching.
*floats on back, looking out big ceiling window*

So Lil, want to get onboard the ship and swim with us? There's more than enough room.

And oi! You! Stop that!

*E tries her best to halt her dive 1/2 way through upon hearing BB's shout...but doesn't manage and carries on anyway...*

Yes.

*lets herself gradually down into water, grabbing boogie board on the way*

Who let the life guard in? They always spoil the fun!

Munchkin, we are trying to swim in zero gravity, maybe having a few lifeguards on this trip ain't to bad an idea. WE are boldly swimming were no swimmers have swum before.

Hello .. o .. o .. o .. o
Is there anybody there? .. er? .. er? .. er?
We haven't had a sudden, catastrophic failure have we? .. e? .. e? .. e?
Have you all been frozen like Gil Gerard or Charlton Heston? .. on? .. on? .. on?
You can't leave me here alone, I don't know how to jaunt .. aunt .. aunt .. aunt.
Waaaah! .. ah! .. ah! ..ah!

I always say, there's nothing to beat the acoustics in an indoor swimming pool. More bands should rehearse in one.
*paddles along half resting on boogie board*

Yes - I can think of quite a few bands I wish would play under water where I can't hear them...

Well at least the Beatles took a nice acoustic submarine when they went underwater. Eh, BB?

Although I think you mistook my original meaning, I heartily agree with you!

The Beatles sounded good underwater - hence Octopus's Garden...

Unfortunately, if you fill the pool full of bands, their equipement, roadies, management and screaming groupers (Sorry ) there will be no space for people to swim. It's nice to know something horrible hasn't happened to you all, however.

Hmm... but it would make the swim more exciting...

...perhaps it would...but then we wouldn't be swimming to Jupiter any more...

...I'm sure there are ways around it though...
