h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Not relishing the idea of being lobbed overboard ambles inconspicuously away from the edge of the deck...*

I vote we build Coely a pool!

*Picks up skill saw*

Where do I start?

ok, we will build the pool just be careful and keep an eye on NM...he tends to get a bit carried away when it comes to power toold
*throws her hair in a ponytail and grabs some spare planks and nails*
monsy

*Nods knowingly and remembers her hubby and how he goes "power crazy" with his DIY "toys"....*

Boys and their toys, hey?

How about that big area of deck over there?

Picks up more bits and pieces and staggers over.....

*smiles and nods back*
yes, they will never grow up...their toys will only get larger and more dangerous ...
looks like a good spot to me
*moves her lumber and tools over to the construction spot and begins setting out women working signs*
monsy

*Ponders over the "women working" signs*

Err, does this mean we have to follow the labourers' tradition of wearing trousers that expose the crack in our bums while we work, leer at passing males, whistle and pass rude comments about them?

*Hopes this is a "politically correct zone" unless, of course that cute guy from the Coke advert wanders by....*

Does this mean I don't get to add my expertise to this project!?....Cumon' I won't break anything!

Women working in trousers!? That's no fun. Now a pair of denum cut-offs and a tank top......much more comfortable to work in, I would think!

NM

*looks around in excitement*
did someone mention that hunk of flesh from the diet coke commercial??? where is he??? oh my!!!
monsy

Thanks to the 'women working' on my pool. Don't care if it is a PC zone or not - on a nautical note, have you seen Captain Birds Eye?

Monsy....I'll go get the "Coke Guy" if ya'll will hire Nichole Smith to help ya' with the pool!

NM

Just hurry up and build it! Please can it be heated? I would not want to be a cold fish.

*aims nailgun at NM*
what did you say???
monsy

*ambles over to monsy's deck chair and gets comfortable*

now this I gotta see.

or...

maybe not.

*pulls sporty skipper's cap over his eyes, reclines and proceeds to
engage in the ever so subtle sport of 'ray catching'*

wake me up when we leave...

~Greebo looks on in disgust..~... Will someone please tell me why we need a swimming pool... it's not natural to get ones fur wet you know????

*swims under the boat and calls out from secret hideaway*
The pool is for me so that I can join the trip. Feel free to keep your fur dry!

This reminds me of what my old Pappy used to say...."I can't stand to watch a woman work, I just have to turn my head and walk away!"

Besides.....Monsys' gettin' a little dangerous with that nail gun! Think I'll see what's in the bar!

NM

*Passes Monsy a diet Coke*

Sorry, couldn't find the cute hunky type chap, *sighs* but will this do?

*Pulls an inflatable cute hunk from behind her back*

I dropped in to our local Ann Summers shop... but watch what you're doing with that staple gun... *winks*

We could always use Mr. Inflatable here as an air bed once the pool's finished....

*sets down the neail gun but keeps one eye on NM just in case*
thank-you for the diet coke, i was getting a bit parched and the inflatable man hehe!!! just like the real thing (full of hot air )
he will make a good float when we are finished here......
*takes a quick drink then begins with the structural framing of the swimming pool*
monsy

8wnaders in*

Ah, I see you are all having fun. I am still busy in the real world, so I wish you all luck. I don't know what has happened as I haven't got the time to read the whole thread, but I would just hate it for the boat to crash.

Don't worry, Garibaldi, the boat's in good hands....the women are running it!

NM

Success!! At last... a man who acknowledges what we girls have known all along
*passes round cool iced drinks, trays of inviting snacks, and specially imported food for Coelacanth*
