    No, no, it's not me keeping you from going! It's Paul. It really is I swear! I wouldn't lie to you. [​IMG] He won't let me go either. Something about my appearance he thought might scare the Martians.

    BJ..
    You are NOT goin either!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hmmm.... so its Cochise,Uguel and Detox..... Paul.... Paul... ya now its really getting bad...
    Paul's the one that really messed it up for you. Cheaping out on the ship design and all. He said he couldn't afford that third seat and like a fool, I believed him. Come to think of it though, he's not even going to give any prizes for getting 10,000 members. I'd call that pretty cheap. It's probably because of all the wild parties he throws. :eek: Don't look so surprised Paul. It's common knowledge around the forum. He'd rather have his beer than let you go to Mars. Paul was too cheap to buy a decent camera. :rolleyes:
    hmm... thats a lot of... wat shud i say... unPaul like... or Paul Like??
    WHY CANT I GO TOO... LOOK AT HER :mad:

    Ok, shhhhhh!! Be really quiet. I guess we could steal the ship. I don't know how to fly it though. Oh, wait, I bet he can--

    I just hope he isn't one of Paul's cheap robots! If he is, we might be in trouble.

    Well? Am I lucky or what. The last time I was away from this place for a while when I came back I found I was Uguels' manager.
    Now I come back and find I've been volunteered to take a 6 month trip with Uguel in a Space ship to Mars!!
    I mean, how lucky can one man be?
    As the song goes, Idee Idee Idee I'd drink to that.
    So stand back you lesser beings, wimps, pukers and cry-babies and watch in awe as Captain Uguel and I reach for the Stars.

    Byee, WHOOOOOOshhh! We Gone.......

    Cochise, (Space cadet).

    :eek:

    Hold on ! Hold on!

    if Cochise and I go there, who's going to take care of Paint?
    We can't leave him on the ground without any care...That's too cruel! :(
    We should bring Paint with us.
    So that he will have the distinction of being the first Martian horse...And we could gallop over the planet freely while Spirit is taking tourist photographs.... :)

    Yep! Sounds good to me my Captain, so we dump Detox ( don't recall he was selected for this giant leap for Wilders kind anyway) and load good old faithful Paint, the best part about taking Paint.......(Whisper)....just on the off chance we run out of vittles......know what I mean? ;)
    On a project like this, especially as it's being run on a shoe-string, one has to cover all bases...... :rolleyes: :p

    Just two questions now, when is the big day and who's got the Map thingy.

    Cochise, :cool:

    I know "vittles". :) To save room we'll bring dehydrated ones only. Alas! the same for paint: dehydrated hay.
    When is the big day? Well, let's see... bj has gotten a flying saucer already (see reply 91) so let him have the honour to decide the day we are going to take off. :)
    The map? No need to have a map if we know how to use the telescope. (unless you mean the Martian ground) o_O Not bj though. His head spins too much I,m afraid he might lead us to a black hole instead. :D

    ANW, I'll see about it!

    Excellent map Sub, that one will do for my Kapitan Uguel and her two crusty...[Delete].....Trusty space adventurers, Cadets Cochise and Paint.

    Obviously all we have to do is keep the Airport and Pittsburg on our right, go straight on at the Moon for a couple of weeks and we're there, NO SWEAT!!

    Paints causing a bit of a problem at the moment though, well you know how is tum plays up when he gets excited. (I wonder if you could propel a rocket with that stuff, it sure smells like rocket fuel).

    Cochise, :cool: :rolleyes:

    Yes Paul, we're almost ready for launch.
    What?
    Did I tell them about that?
    Not yet. I don't think there's anything to worry about. As long as their guidence system works correctly.
    What do you mean? No guidence system?
    Oh no, you didn't?
    Refused to pay?
    But that's the most important part.
    How are they going to duck the meteor storm?
    You don't know.
    Well maybe the robot ca--
    Huh? The robot? Yes he's going.
    Yeah I know. Only 2 seats.
    Passenger roster? Yeah I've got it right here. Let's see?
    Uguel-Captian and Pilot
    Cochise-Co-Captian-Exploration specialist
    Robot Model B-9-Navigation
    subratam
    Ol' Paint
    Over weight?
    Well maybe a little. I had to remove their asteroid deflector shield generator to make up for the extra weight.
    Not enough?
    The robot weighs what?
    800 pounds?
    The lasers? Well I could I guess. But what if they meet up with some hostile aliens?
    They'll have to fend for themselves. Well OK.
    Yeah, you're right about that. Cochise will probably have his bow and arrows.
    Fit? Well, I'm not sure. 5 in a 2 person ship will be a little crowded. I'm sure they'll manage.
    What? Say that again? Who's riding outside?
    Well it can't be Captian Uguel, or Cochise.
    The robot? NO. I'm assuming that Cochise will be able to let him ride on his lap for 6 months. If his line were to break, we'd loose our navigator.
    What do you mean 12 months? Oh, I get it. You want the robot back, gotcha.
    What about subratam and Paint?
    Well, I guess that would be alright-if you think it's safe.
    Where would you like to put it?
    In back, because of what?
    Methane gas? Oh from Paint! Yeah it would be better to have it at the back. Then at least the whole ship won't blow up when it ignites.
    Seat belts?
    Yeah, it has seatbelts. OK. I'll get it done right away.
    Will sub mind? I don't know. I guess he can't mind too much. He wants too go really bad. What other choice does he have?
    Ok. Let me make sure. I'll take the backseat out of my car, bolt it to the outside of the ship, and sub and Paint can ride there. Right?
    OK.
    Ready?
    Probably in a couple of days.
    OK. See you at launch.
    Oh Paul? I'm really sorry I got mad at you for not picking me to go. Really with all of this uncertainty about the mission, and all the jury rigging and everything, I'm kinda glad I'm not going.
    OK. Bye.

    Wheeeew!!
    :D

    Hey bettlejuice tell Paul to send a little pocket change with you . The Hubble telescope picked up this sign on the surface of Mars.

    Hi Paul, glad you're still there. I neede--
    Name? Well I hadn't really thought about a name for the ship yet.
    What? Name it after a well known ship? Ok.
    How's Enterprise? Like on Startrek?
    No.
    Ok. Jupiter2 like on Lost in Space?
    Not that either. Well I can't think of anymor-
    What? Well, personally, I don't really think much of that name.
    Are you sure? Yeah it's famous and all but--
    Well OK. I guess it does kind of fit with all of the jury rigging we're having to do to make it work.
    OK Paul. TITANIC it is. :eek:
    OK, bye.

    Don't get mad Paul. Just calm down.
    Well yeah, I know,but I thought it would be the best thing too do. Actually, the test flight went really well.
    Problems? No. None at all. The guidance system worked perfectly.
    Took it out? Well that was before. I put everything back.
    How much did it cost?
    Err-umm-well you don't really want to know. It's a lot safer though. You wouldn't want anything bad to happen would you?
    Good. I knew you weren't that kind of guy.
    How much money?
    Are you sure you wan-
    OK OK. I had to sell the-umm-ah-new server.
    ~holds phone away from ear to keep from going deaf~
    Really, it will be Ok.
    I think you'll really like the new ship a lot.
    New? Well yeah, kind of.
    Are 5 still going? Well not exactly.
    What did I do? Well it's just a little bit bigger, that's all.
    How much? Well? Now it can carry 8.
    Why 8?
    Well we've got Uguel, Cochise, the robot, subratam, Ol, Paint and-well me.
    Well I kind of figured since I kind of rebuilt the ship and all-well I deserved to go.
    Other 2 seats? What about them? Who are they for?
    Well just in case we find any Martians, we can bring them back.
    Would you like to see a vid of the test flight?
    OK. Really, it looked good. See-
    http://www.gifs.net/animate/rocket1.gif
    Yeah. It's pretty isn't it?
    TITANIC?
    Well no. I scrapped that. It just wasn't right.
    New name? I thought I'd let Captain Uguel name it. I'm sure she'll come up with something inspiring.
    Ok. Bye.

    Your not going to believe this Space-fans but i've just remembered that the day we blast off (Whatever day that happens to be) just happens to be the day I change my library books, Pish! and I was so looking forward.

    So if any other sucker...[Delete].....volunteer would like to take my place, please feel free.

    Cochise, :cool: (ex. Space Cadet)
    PS. After reading the convs. between a certain BJ and PW Paint has also declined the offer and has now decided to take a College Grad. course reading the 'Beano'.

    No, No. Cochise. Don't drop out now. We (yes I said we, I'm going too) are all about to make history. I got mad at you know who and took over the project and rebuilt the ship and fixed everything and made it even bigger. Even though Paul's mad at me, (I had to sell the new server to get the money) everything's ok now. No cheap stuff for me. Shhhhh. Don't tell Paul but I really blew a wad his money on this ship. It even has "Warp Drive"http://www.gifs.net/animate/starship.gif
    Double Shhhhh. Detox and LWM also contributed. They just don't know it yet. We launch in the morning. See you at the launch pad.
