SO Long, Farewell, Avadalzane (SP?)
 

NO, I'm not quitting Flyertalk just to settle that question! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

But I will gone from Monday, December 11 thru Sunday, December 18th to have some wonderful Swiss adventures with my buddy and brother Wanderlust and see my dear friends RUdi and Gisela! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

SO I'm asking the bestest ACTING COMMANDER CATCOP BROTHER NEWSELF! To stop arguing basketball with essxjay and wear my badge proudly while I am off having fun in Switzerland.

Essxjay since your favorite sports buddy will be on the road December 17 and 18, could you and/or Geo1004 are free that weekend could you watch the boards. If not, Punki dear could you wear the badge with your tiara?

SO I hope when Wanderlust and I return that all the wars are over, the masks are pulled off and we can have some relative peace going into the holiday season.

Have a great week folks and see you all soon! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I am sooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooo oooooooooooo ooooooo ooooooo jealous!® http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Rudi, please be sure to warn Catman about Tripper the Cat!

PremEx: the window to Catman's sleeping room will stay open for 'Tripper' the cat ... and as you know, the stable with the sheep is right outside too.

Catman and Wanderlust: my email-server 'uitikon' doesn't work again since Saturday. Please use my alternate yahoo address while the server problem lasts: [email protected] and: welcome to 'my' Confoederatio Helvetica (see you at Zurich airport, terminal B, arrival area, after costums tomorrow Tuesday!

Sounds like a great trip so far! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I hope also, Rudi, that you did eventually receive my reply to your email last week. If necessary, I'll be sure to resend another note out to you!

Continue please enjoying your "visitors!" http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

mmmm sidecar at the Hotel Victoria Jungfrau Bar in Interlaken. Nobody does it better.

Now doesn't that bring back a flood of memories. I am soooooooo jealous.

Have fun guys. Don't earn too many double snoring miles.

Rudi, STOP! You're making me hungry!! Sounds like the Catdude and wanderlust are having a great time. <g>

Bratwurst..??? I dont get it... Rudi, remember how you ¨"scolded" me http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif in Germany for having a German version of this 'delicatessen' ??? Bernie, you surely remember this... (and you also joined in the scolding bandwagon... LOL)

Catman, Im all for Bratwuerste, they are my favorite, but, please tell me if your gracious host made any comments about your choice... or, is a Swiss Bratwurst so much different that a German one...?? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Have a great time in Switzerland !!!

the original St.Galler Bratwurst (from Rudi's hometown) that Catman ate: http://www.stgallen-i.ch/gastro/sgspeze.htm

experience/share online life the sights/views Catman and Wanderlust have in the Jungfrauregion http://www.swisspanorama.com/

Gee, Catman loaded up on bratwurst in Croton-on-Hudson last Saturday; I guess it was just for practice http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif Please ask him which he prefers, the Swiss version or the "Greek" variety from the Croton diner http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif.

I remember in the not so distant past, when Catman seemed like stable and sober individual. Now he sounds like kokolush after an all nighter at Murphy's with geo1004!

My, the influence we seem to have on him! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

So, has Catman met any of my ladies yet, and if so did any of them ask about me? At this time of year, it's probably a good thing they are wearing wool.

and yes doc - I just read today your email (back from Wengen, and my uitikon email-account now working again). I think the potential 'poster-problem' that you saw, fortunately, wasn't noticed by anyone else on this board - and so I think no problem = no trouble!

[This message has been edited by Rudi (edited 12-13-2000).]

I and several others saw it. Would you like me to post a copy?

Sounds like Catman must have been 3 sheeps to the wind. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

This thread just reminded me to post in another thread the name of my favorite travel movie, Around the Wool in Eighty Days.

geo1004: oh no, that was baaaaaaaaad! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Catman, not only is your IP being logged, but thanks to Rudi, your every move (and calorie) as well. Viel Spass!
