}Say, does anyone else know how much Link in the Zelda games looks like Peter Pan?{

Bob, float, bob, paddle, Dave, swim, Geoff, skull.

}We should let everyone know that this forum is still up!{

Well, I'm just bobbing about here, wondering if we are ever going to make it to Jupiter and, if so, will I ever get these wrinkles out

Guess what l just found out!
When we -do- get to Jupiter, it will have a new moon!

Well, not a -new- moon, l mean. lt's always been there. But they just discovered one they hadn't known about before. Only three miles across, so it's tiny.
Let's set up a cabana on it!

}Well I think we ought to let the other people here know that the forum is taking off again -- wait. Let's do it "Dogbert Style."{

}What we do is, take a piece of paper and write, "The people who had been posting to the Swimming to Jupider forum will return" fifteen times. Coincidences will build up and it will get done, or at least a "good enough" situation will occur. Some people have informed Scott Adams, who came up with it, that this will not work; those people obviously haven't tried. I'll do it in a moment, once I've gotten off the H2G2.{

*is still drunk enough from the jello shooter swimming pool to agree that this sounds like a good idea; nods sagely*

But all the paper will get wet from the pool!!

Also, has the new moon been named yet? I would like to call it Mabel.

How about we call the new moon Jupiter and land (& swim) on it. Remember, we're getting nearly there...

*awakens from vodka jelly induced stupor....* you know, I reckon that paper thing must have worked....

how far away are we?

Yay! I vote we land to celebrate this new look for the forums, with a last message button and everything

}Not yet. This is only Post #132! We have to wait until Post #200!{

Well said Mew. But don't worry, after that we will move to a new forum, and in that forum the actual *landing* on Jupiter, or where-ever, will take place!

*Swims around in the swimming pool.*

Hey, but we can't land on...on, um, Unnamed Jupiter Moon Number Seventeen! We're not swimming to Unnamed Jupiter Moon Number Seventeen!

}I forgot to write the experiment thing down.{

But I want ot land on Mabel. I can plant the flag and claim it in the name of his Sovereign Majesty and everything. Tell, you what, I'll nip out and do that now. I'll be back in a jiffy, one two mile wide moon richer. Tally ho!!

Could you put a waterworks flag down while you're there? Just so that the inhabitants know how far we have swum.

So, where exactly are we going to land this swimming-pool ship of ours?

Well, that is that moon annexed. I wonder if I can get myself invested as the Duke of Mabel?
Anyway, as to where to land, if we stop on that Black Monolith over there we would get a great view of things. Or perhaps find the eye of the storm in the Red Spot, ideal for picnics I'm told.

I don't know what you are taking, but I think you should take less of it

Cats, sacks, wives, how many were going Jupiter{cough}ives
