Title: Al, do we cross the Florida Straits tonight...
Post by: Pigmeat on November 26, 2016, 1631 UTC
or do the decent thing and wait until the funeral is finished before taking over? If we're going to the funeral I'm going to have to take my charcoal suit to the cleaners. Remember, it's red tie and socks for the Jefe.

Tell Pedro I said hola, and he needs to fix his 16m transmitters.

This is a new world for him, and us. Perhaps they can get Belinda to read the newscasts and/or the numbers broadcasts.

We're using the beard code, Al. Mustache for Merkle, beard for Castro.

Raul's wife is said to be his "beard", but that must be some Cuban slang I'm not familiar with. How could a woman serve as a man's beard?

Why would anyone start a radio station pronounced Radio Laundry?

The proprietress of Radio Laundry will be happy to clean your dark suit in greasy wash water.

It might take an entire year, though, before you get it back.

And now we're back to the original point of this thread, what's Al wearing for Fidel's funeral?

Thanks Joe, I can always count on you to stay on topic.

Whew! This funeral is going to take all day. We've just got past the part where he decides to give up on the pencil mustache and go with the beard when Raul shouted out, "Not a neck beard Fidelito, it's not done!" and collapsed. He's still in hysterics.

Fidel never listened to his brother, the Tim Gunn of Cuba, when it came to fashion and grooming advice.

I haven't seen Al since he went off in search of the rumored Cuban Super Cow yesterday. Half the size of a regular cow and said to give twice as much milk. Fidel was working hard on it in the 70's and 80's. Al is sure if it's a real Super Cow, it will give chocolate milk. The only way I can keep track of him is his posts here. Arnie Coro wonders why I put up with him? He says Al's penguin obsession is the talk of the RHC staff who read this board constantly for broadcasting tips.

Oh crap! I just heard a "mooo" and a "Giddyup Bossie!" heading this way. More later if we survive this thing.

Heading back to Miami with 40 head of Super Cows in the main dining room of the SS DJT. Arnie Coro wanted to come but he refused when he saw the guy who was piloting the vessel. "De radar weel na work wit dat much foil on de bridge, amigos. Goot luck, ju are gonta need eet."

For the life of me I can't figure out why there are icebergs off the Bahamas? Al says not to worry, he relies on the same dead reckoning skills he learned at the feet of his Aunt Amelia.

I heard the old army jeep used to take Fidel to his final resting place broke down and a troop of soldiers had to push the thing to the cemetery or wherever. Fitting.

It wasn't a Jeep, it was a "Heep", the Cuban knockoff version. And it didn't break down, the President of Venezuela forgot to bring enough gas.

Al says we're off South Georgia, but it's awful hilly and cold. He say's his great-Uncle Adolph lives there. We're unloading the cows at his place before heading to Miami. I'm going to miss the milkshakes.

Uncle Dolph has a spiffy Oliver Hardy mustache, but he foams at the mouth a lot. You guys ought to see him high-step it around the barnyard in his gum boots.
