- Thread starter Jorge
- Start date
I'm not sure who you paid off, But,,, Congratulations Mark!
If you plan to wear your pink to-too, I'm gonna demand a recount!!!!
After all, the Traveler is supposed to be "Representing" COG.
(a Marine is bad e'nuff, but our standards only go so low..)
Keep those Donations coming in folks!
or we're gonna have to find a really BIG box.
Ride safe, Ted (Fly Navy)
PS: I still want to know. Did the Ugly one win???

I think we should all agree (and hope) that Mark is one of those "inner beauty" types.
)And speaking of "inner" Mark, have the OtP organizers told you yet how they plan to have you smuggle some of those fear factor treats into Europe? Maybe time to practice those kegels! :nananana:
Congrats Old Man!!! :great:
I was with Hans last week....
He's already arranging the European delicacies' for Mark to eat...
This year, he's arranging some particularly {err} tasty ones. :great:
(Sed something about still having some left over from last year too.) :sign0137:
Hey Mark, do you remember those mornings in the Corp's "after" the night on the beach??
{Kinda felt like someone ripped your head off and s__t down your windpipe}
Don't want to scare you, BUT,, the morning after Surstrumming will be worse!! :rotflmao:

I'M BACK IN IT!!!!
As the OtP 1st Runner Up, I humbly accept this role as official tag-a-long. It's great honor and sacred duty to act as chaperone for the OtP winner. I will solemnly endeavor to be the adult in the room and to be sure that the SW AD doesn't get seduced by the Passo Stelvio and disappear into the Bavarian Alps.
Thank you everyone for your votes and for your donations to OtP. Please keeps those funds coming in, because Mark tells me that the winner eats first and I think Europe puts a limit on how many Powerbars you're allowed to bring into the continent.)

BOOM!!! Airline tickets have been purchased, and they are cheap beyond cheap. Cheap like close to the cost of a tank of German gas!
Low cost does come with certain small concessions though. Mark had to agree to help the flight crew in getting the propellers started and I have to help load chicken crates in the rear of the plane, but whatever! :great:

Hey travelers, I should know your wishes about the places you would like to visit because I can not plan the routes if I do not know.
Belleau wood is on my list, Swiss, Italian and Austrian passroads, also, and if possible, the King Ludwig's castles Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau in Bavaria.
We will stay overnight at HansPeter & Ria Heim's House in Switzeröland, close to the Viamala Canyon - this is an old trader's and smugglers path of the romans, across the alps, and they called the path: "Via Mala" , in english: Bad Road... If we can visit the canyon, you will see, why they give it this name.

Mebbe Daan/Marc can show them the Red-light district (and coffee shops) in Amsterdam?? (For viewing purposes only)
I have never been to any other place,,, where, I enjoyed the window shopping so much!!! :great:
(Don't tell my wife)
Ralf,,, do you recall the first "Twisty Mountain Pass you took us too?
Had lots of steep/tight twisties and a bicycle race was going on...
Take them there if you can. {Include the bike race}.....

This pass called "Hahntennjoch", it is located in Tyrol, Austria, and it winds up from 1000 m asl up to 1884 m asl over a distance of 15 km
but maybe, we will ride it from the other side as you have rode it..
it ia very dangerous road when the weather conditions are bad..
Ralf, You are the Man! Not being familiar with the areas I am relying on your best judgment. Very much like history and ancient architecture. WW2 areas I have studied and would like to see if possible. Twisty roads and great vistas. You can't go wrong in my opinion my friend. So looking forward to this trip. Good roads, good scenery, good beer, good friends = Happy OMC! :beerchug:Kawasaurus said:

Yupp, that's the one.... I think it's an excellent place to "break in" Mark and Dan.. <evil grin> >

Uh oh, I think Mark and I booked airline tickets in the same "Misery Class" as this United passenger... :-\

Mark: We have to start practicing our passive resistance techique -- 1. go limp; 2. Keep that seat belt tight, 3. try to hook your toes on passenger seats and carry-on items as they drag you down the aisle.

I'm all about passive resistance. It will take a few more to drag my 6'3" 280 lb sack of potatoe (potato?) body down that skinny aisle though. I have mastered the art of crying like a school girl and kicking like a 2 year old. Plus I can invoke my Vet status and swear at them as only a old Jarhead can. Cover your ears. Plus you shall be entangled on my right ankle right (not the left. It has screws in it)? It's in the runner up bylaws. :beerchug:SantaCruzRider said:

Ok,,,, Here's some free advice.
When you eat the "Surstrumming", and/or Ralf's "Bregenzerwald mountain cheese";
don't breathe thru your nose.
don't throw up.
if you throw up; don't breathe while spewing thru your nose.
try to make Mark spew thru his nose. :rotflmao:
(Do not get close to Mark during this process) :sign0137:
And,, we want regular reports and Photo's!!

When Mark gets back, I'll have him get my transformer back to me. I will hang on to it until the next American traveler is selected, and I'll set them up with it. Americans must have power when they travel.
