OK, Hoops... I'll get the new fangled Rudie bus out of the garage and gassed up... or unless you want to pick up
Janis and Pat first and drop them off in the Galapagos ourselves (we'd get them there in record time), then on the
way back, pick up all our Rudie friends and get that house party rocking?

[hoops]

Mary, theye don't leave till the 6th so we have to sit still for a bit, but it is time for a call to arms, the kind that give rudie hugs. Randy PA, the roof seating is polished and warmed. DaveM, so you have your guitar guide book to research all of Janis's guitars... I hope they are all tuned. Sara, what can you bring to share foodwise? Who needs to be picked up? and who will meet us there? I have the "key" so you either have to break in or wait till i get there. who's coming and what are you bringing or hoping to see
peace
hoops

[Sara]

Yes, I'll definitely bring food and plenty of it, including some vegetarian goodies for hoops and Agnes and anyone else who wants some. I think a few steaks for Redjack to grill might be nice, too. (We'll probably need to bring along his grill, just in case.) Let me get back to you on the specifics; we've still got a few days left to pull it all together.

Any special food requests?

[TiminOhio]

Gotta get some photos of Rudies on her piano :rolleyes:- how many rudies can we squeeze on top of it - take a photo - blow it up & hang on her wall - wouldn't she love that;) - with a note on the bench - WE THINK YOUR PIANO NEEDS TUNED!

Alas, we have a sturdy regular housesitter... I'm afraid she won't let anyone in!

[coffeegyrl]

(we should have waited until they were gone before we started planning) :rolleyes:

[MARILYN/GEMINI]

Crap...can't slip anything by that JANIS !!! And I was going to offer to cook and walk and feed the doggies !! :(

[Mary6906]

Alas, we have a sturdy regular housesitter... I'm afraid she won't let anyone in!

Pssst, Hoops.... icksnay on Plan A.... time for Plan B :D

Hoops sweetie.....I think you got ahead of yourself a wee bit.....;)

Oh man, we are so busted!! :p

This IS a first, isn't it?

[MARILYN/GEMINI]

The RUDIE SURVELLIANCE CAMERAS ARE ON !!!

[hoops]

dang! plan B under way...Sturdy house sitter vs 50 rudies hmmmm...ok, Karen, cancel the hats...make em t shirts. I spent all morning fine tuning the rudie bus..what a waste hee hee. Sara, plan on extra food to bribe the house sitter. oh , right, we're not going, oops. take note all, we are not going to raid Janis's house...hee hee.

hoops

[DaveM]

I suppose it was too good to last forever....perhaps we can bribe the housesitter? I've got $17 in unmarked bills. And an old cordless telephone. And somewhere, a couple of Avon bottles.

[Wildflower Fever]

I've got $17 and a really nice watch...Casio, ooh ahh...

[Elliott]

I'll give them a free haircut... and if they are not nice about it, then I'm bringing out the wax... and nobody wants me to wax them! Well, maybe Eva, but that's another thread, on another board. I do love some blue eyes!

[Sara]

Sara, plan on extra food to bribe the house sitter. oh , right, we're not going, oops.
Psst - hoops, I've got a few ideas thickening. For now, I'm keepin' 'em on the down low. More later. Count on it! ;)

[Mary6906]

No, Sara, we don't need no stinkin' dynomite... that's ol' skool.

[sister rose]

All I can say is: :D

Hoops, have you ever known a housesitter we couldn't get around? ;)

[Eva]

Rudies... here is the plan...

1.
We will invade by night. When the housesitter and the dogs are sound asleep.

2.
Hoops & Sister_Rose will pick the lock. Bring those blasted glasses this time though! Not like last time at that big bank, when you were almost caught because you couldn't see the lock you were picking :mad:

3.
David, you go with them but stay outside to keep watch. Yelp if something goes wrong. If someone passes by the house everybody retreat untill the person is gone again. If the housesitter or the dogs wake up we will fall back on item 9.

4.
Then Gemini, you slip inside to appease the dogs. Redjack, supply Gemini with some big juicy raw steaks. She'll need them.

5.
While the dogs are eating happily, Elliott you go in with the wax and wait for me in a soundproof room. For instance the music room. I'll explain the rest when I get there...

6.
PA Randy, it's your turn now. You stay with Gemini and the dogs. In case the dogs are through with the steaks and want to eat some more. I know you will be eaten but we have to make sacrifices to reach our goal.

7.
Dave, it's your turn now. Bring the 17 dollars and the cordless phone to bribe the houssitter. Karen, you go in too. Take some of your handmade items along for the bribe. Redjack, go in with Dave and Karen in case she/he doesn't take the bribe. In that case you will have to gag and bind the housesitter. I'll supply you with some rope,

8.
Mary, send your spies in after the other thugs. When they are done the spies should come out again and warn the rest of us.

9.
Dave, bring your canon along in case all else fails...

Pirate Queen

[Marcia Drummergal]

Where do *I* come in??

Marcia :confused:

[Eva]

Where do *I* come in??

Marcia :confused:
You'll bang the drums. Loudly. After we're in. Or when we fall back on plan nr. 9.

Eva

[Marcia Drummergal]

You'll bang the drums. Loudly. After we're in. Or when we fall back on plan nr. 9.

Eva

OK...Kind of like a "signal" or something. I can do that! Thanks Eva!

Marcia :D

[Eva]

OK...Kind of like a "signal" or something. I can do that! Thanks Eva!

Marcia :D
Yes, exactly. Please study on two scenario's:

1. When we succeed to get it; play loudly and with lots of pleasure.
2. When we attack with a canon play sopmething threatening at first. Building up to something fast and loud.

Thanks you in advance for your hard work.

Pirate Queen

[coffeegyrl]

We need an exit strategy! The hard part is cleaning up and getting out in time. ;)

[DaveM]

And if a familiar voice shouts "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Everybody just yell back: "Nothing Mom....er, Janis!"

Does anyone know where we can get one of those tape recorders that self-destructs in five seconds?

[Marcia Drummergal]

Yes, exactly. Please study on two scenario's:

Wow, I guess we know for sure now who our fearless leader is!! I guess there was never really any doubt! Aye Aye Ma'am! I can do that!

[Elliott]

It seems to me like we will be burning some bridges here. How big is a house sitter anyway? Shall we bring the dogs from home... What's the plan if said house sitter calls k911? What would Janis Do? :o

[Sara]

Okay, Fellow Rudies, huddle up. [glancing around, making sure no one can overhear] Janis and Pat are scheduled to leave tomorrow, right? So it's almost time. I think the dogs can easily be distracted. I have some steaks all ready to go and Redjack may have some more.

http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq287/schoolcounselor4kids/Steaks.jpg

As for the housekeeper, I don't care how sturdy she is; we can take care of her. We're had previous offers of bribes, so I'm passing this basket and the bribes can all go in there. Heck, the basket, alone, is plenty attractive.

http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq287/schoolcounselor4kids/Basket4a.gif


I've got a couple items of my own I'm putting in:

For starters, I believe this will encourage her to look the other way --

http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq287/schoolcounselor4kids/SturdyHousekeeperBribe-1.jpg

And the pièce de résistance - I got the recipe for those ever-popular brownies we enjoyed at the Jimbies celebration and I've prepared a double batch. I think she'll be plenty happy and not too inclined to do a whole lot!

http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq287/schoolcounselor4kids/Brownies.jpg I think we're good!

[Dee]

I think we're good!

I think you're all heading for San Quentin prison myself. Or a nut barn. :p


What's the plan if said house sitter calls k911?

K911! Ha ha ha ha ha! http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k267/deemark/Emoticons/miniroflmao.gif

Dee, won't you be joining us? I think we can find a train from Canada to Tennessee. I'm sure you have skills that will help the cause, and you're sure to have a good time! :)

[Dee]

Pass. I have to stay home and bake a cake with a file in it to break you guys out. Or, if it's the nut barn, a Straightjacket cutter. :eek:

[Elliott]

That's our Dee; always thinking of others! I like that in a person! :)

[Amy in Vermont]

Redjack,

Will you bring 2000 feet of Cat 6 cable and a router. I'll bring a Cisco Web Cam with nite vision and my laptop so we can webcast this for those who cannot be in attendance.....

[lucille]

If it is any help, I have some very close and personal friends in the Pittsburgh Police and Fire Departments. I could ask them to help us remove the housekeeper, and keep party crashers from intruding.:D (Oh, and I think there was an ambulance we could call on too.)

[hoops]

piece of cake, we're in like flint. Anyone who needs a ride needs to speak up NOW so we can get you in time. BUT if anything should happen to go "south" remember we are rudies and we stick together...if all else fails and we need to run. sister rose has the "keys" to the rudie bus and I'll stay behind to cover you while you scram. also remember, once we get back to the board after "vacation' mum is the word. we don't want to leave evidence. Mary, i'm talking to you...no pics!, no costumes! no reports until i release the code. ok people, are we ready to do this? good! on my er..i mean, our Pirate Queen's command.

Hey, I drove a fire truck last week...have I got some new moves to try on the Rudie Bus this year!!!!! :D

[Sara]

Sara, what can you bring to share foodwise?
[Whispering] Okay, all, we're in the eleventh hour. Luckily, I had the day off work today so I was able to get to the grocery store and back home before the snow started and I spent the rest of the day preparing food. I've got some of this and that - a couple of snickeysnacks, a dessert, a couple of vegetarian dishes, some meat and meat dishes, and Redjack's grill. I prepared most of the stuff in advance so we can just reheat. I'll pack the steaks and other perishables in dry ice and we can grill when we get there. If you want to see, take a look now before I pack everything up. I'll have the snickeysnacks handy in my super deluxe basket, in case anyone gets hungry on the road.

Oh, and the brownies? :) ;) :)

Pick me up when you swing by to get Sara. I'm not missing this adventure!

[PattiP]

Wait a minute, is anyone else enticed with Janis's description of
her "sturdy, regular housesitter"? My mind wanders, can I be
in charge of this person, let's say, distract her? Would that be
of any help in these plans? Let me know, power to the Rudies!

LOL!!! We definitely think alike, Patti!!!.....but then I figured Janis wouldn't hire anyone with those "weaknesses".......

OMG Patti!! I had the exact same thought!! That is too funny! Actually this might be a job for Eva!

Am I too late to get on the bus? I'm in Appleton, WI so you can grab me on the way to Dave's I've got the cheese curds and beef jerky.

I am so ready, and all in a flap for this little operation! Can't wait to check out the attic!!
The food and prep looks delicious! When did you say we begin? You can pick me up anytime on the way north...Cinci is just a few moments flight time from Dave's...at least the way Sister Rose drives! I think Rose colored glasses has to be the thing!
Waiting for my Rudie Bus!

What is all this discussion about? What´s keeping you people from coming over? I´m allready in the house! The housekeeper was easy to convince letting me in .. I just told her I was a good friend from the Netherlands, travelled all the way to Nashville ..
So come on and get in :D

I don't get it. When Marjan does it, shouldn't it be called a Dutch dance performance? http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq287/schoolcounselor4kids/RollingEyesLittleGreenDude.gif

[Elliott]

Sara, I agree... it could get so confusing. What's my name again? :confused:

Elliott: Have you figured out the hot tub yet? Modesty prevents me from checking on you.....

Not to worry; this is a swimsuit optional tub... no modesty necessary. ;)

Crap! :mad:

errr.....I mean....that's good to know...:o:rolleyes:

[Sara]

I'm starting to worry - haven't seen the Rudie bus yet and I still need that ride. Hope there were no mechanical problems?

[Elliott]

Sara, key word here is "seen". I think the ladies who flyve the bus might be checking out a new option. Just go outside and check for negative ions. That's one indication the bus is at the curb waiting for you. :rolleyes:

[Sara]

Sara, key word here is "seen". I think the ladies who flyve the bus might be checking out a new option. Just go outside and check for negative ions. That's one indication the bus is at the curb waiting for you. :rolleyes:

Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments. Think mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.
Elliott, is the bus now invisible? I know it flies and all, but . . .
Learning never ends! ;)

Ok, got ya, Leslie, and the PA system is packed in the back of the bus.

Hey, when you come to get Elliott, can I come too? I know I work for 'the law' but I promise I won't turn you in.

[Sara]

Hey, when you come to get Elliott, can I come too? I know I work for 'the law' but I promise I won't turn you in.
Of course, Greener, all Rudies are welcome. We gotta stick together, you know.

One thing about Elliott - how is it he is simultaneously on the Rudie bus and in Janis's hot tub? :confused:

[KarenSews2]

WAIT! I can't sit in the back of the bus! I'd hurl all over the place!! Besides, why do I have to sit 3 in a seat!?!?! Elliott is hogging the whole thing with all of his "product!!!!"



ARE WE THERE, YET???

[Greener]

I must have missed a page..didn't know Elliott was in the hot tub already. Or maybe I just blocked it out because of the clothing optional part. Well, since we're making this all up anyway, the bus could be one of those rockstar buses and the hot tub is onboard.

[Elliott]

I know I didn't just read that... what's that woman talking about, making this all up? Didn't you read Harry Potter where Her Hiney could be in two places at the same time. I'm cool like that.... Besides most of the time I see two of you... sometimes three, but I just talk to the one in the middle. :eek:

[Dee]

This reminds me of one of those picture puzzle games. You know, find the whatever.

I have a few questions. For example, why is there daylight on one side of the bus and only a tiny bit of night on the other? And why is there a Janis Bobblehead doll in the back window? And the most important question of all, is this a bus or a plane? Because I am completely confused now.

[Elliott]

Well, after going warp the starlight tends to bend light. The JI bobblehead is always on the bus, but has been know to move on it's own, and it's one of them there air busses you always hear about, but with mods. ;)

[Mary6906]

Dee... sweetness, let me explain.

The darkness you see on the left are room darkening "shades" for our dear Bat (wanted to make her feel comfortable, even gave her her very own little black bag to rest in), we now have Rudie bus #2 the flying bus (think Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) ... (but lets see you trying to come up with an interior shot of a bus and still have wings on it, give me a little break here, buddy :rolleyes:)

And the Janis Bobblehead... well, wouldn't you rather have that than a dashboard Jesus?

I ban you for asking too many questions (oops, sorry, wrong thread)

[Dee]

And another thing, why is there an old hippie in a hat trying to climb in the window? Couldn't you let the poor guy use the door?!?

And another thing, do those two grey boxes contain Janis’ DNA (courtesy of DaveM) or lunch?

:p

[Mary6906]

No, Dee, those two grey boxes in the back of the bus are Leslie's PA system all packed up.... travelin' size.

Oh, RandyPA likes it up there.... he likes the breeze blowing through his long locks!!
and if he's good, we throw him a bisket, too! Plus, it's payback for making me ride to Nashville in his trunk last year!

[DaveM]

Oh, gosh....I'm not sure where the DNA is at the moment.

How many others think a Janis bobblehead would be a great item for the holiday sale?

Could we perhaps do some further modifications and make it a Stealth Bus? Might be easier to sneak in that way.

[Sara]

I, for one, think it's an awesome Rudie plane/bus.


Plus, it's payback for making me ride to Nashville in his trunk last year!Mary, I'm still trying to get the lowdown on that story!


Oh, gosh....I'm not sure where the DNA is at the moment.

Could we perhaps do some further modifications and make it a Stealth Bus? Might be easier to sneak in that way.
Janis DNA? Sounds like we're planning more than just getting access to her house! :confused:

Stealth bus? Well, Dave, it's already got a cloaking device. What more could we ask for?

Finally, as Karen so politely inquired, "ARE WE THERE, YET??"

[DaveM]

Oh, the DNA was collected at Janismania. Unfortunately, we have run out of cigarette butts, and I think I might have snagged one of the wrong ones. The last round of DNA testing revealing that there is a 27.9% chance that Janis is my father. Which I would not wish on anyone.

[Sara]

LOL, Dave!

Somehow that reminds me of the DNA testing revealing the parentage of Eric Cartman. But now, I digress. And mightily.

"ARE WE THERE, YET??"

[DaveM]

"i gotta go bafroom!"

[Mary6906]

WAIT! I can't sit in the back of the bus! I'd hurl all over the place!! Besides, why do I have to sit 3 in a seat!?!?! Elliott is hogging the whole thing with all of his "product!!!!"



ARE WE THERE, YET???


Oh, my Lord... stop your whining!!! I'm gonna have to move you now since you won't be quiet.

OK, Karen... you can now sit up in the front of the bus where Sister and Hoops can keep an eye on you.

http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg317/Mary6906/My%20stuff/Rudie-Bus-passengers-moved-Karen.jpg

[Dee]

I still think there's DNA in those two grey boxes! And mini Rude Girl seems to be guarding them so I take that as a hint.

[Mary6906]

Ok, Ok, ok.... if you must know... they ARE forensic kits (disguised to look like Leslie's PA kit ... albeit, not to well)
Here's what's inside:

PPpffffft! No problem! I think between them they might have 1 good eye!

[hoops]

you all need to stop your whining and talking, we've been parked in the driveeway since Saturday at noon. I went out once or twice to pick up a last minute person, but for heaven's sake GET OUT OF THE BUS, THE FRONT DOOR IS OPEN AND I'M INSIDE!

Patti, if she's running she's leaving us alone. let her go. if she comes back, we have extra food... ok, who threw the dogs in the pool?! Janis doesn't want them there unsupervised. and who dropped the glass of wine on the living room floor? it's gonna be a PAIN getting that out... and you could have picked up the glass at least, that is going to be a REAL PAIN getting out of my foot. is the food ready? I see hunger in people's eyes and it's making me nervous. Oh no, Sara, don't use that dish, it's 147 years old, from Russia. oh well, don;t drop it.
who's got the guitars? where is the music?

I need to get a nice LIGHT tan.... make sure someone turns me over ok?

Psssst.... skinny dipping at midnight.... (but make sure someone keeps the dogs away from me, not to mention the dogs eating all that 7-layered bean, guacomole, and sour cream :eek: )

[Sara]

Mary, I'm looking at your avatar and then at you, standing there in all your bikini-loveliness. So please tell us: how did you grow boobies just that fast?!

[Mary6906]

Does a girl have to give away all her secrets? Silicon falsies my dear.

Maybe instead of skinny dipping at midnight... I should change and do my drag act instead!

[hoops]

Hell Randy, do the moon walk!! :cool:

Somehow I think Randy has frequently been spotted in a space suit. What's that, I misheard, it was his birthday suit. Oh that's right, he like so many of us were in our prime during the streaking festivals of the 70s. Rock on Randy!

Marcia, let the people wearing the beer can helmets play that "pass the housekeeper" I LIKE what you've done with the guitars. It kind of looks like they are an audience surrounding your to hear you play.

It's spelled SKELETON ;) ) .... sorry Dee... I'll use that piece of plastic as my sled instead, your back will thank me .... :D

Someone get Mr Leslie off that hill! After volleyball in Pitt he doesn't need anymore concussions!

I think I can scratch it off of you with that big, sharp kitchenknife. Just sit still...

Somebody interested in Dutch applepie with whipped cream? I want to bake some. I'm not that big on brownies. Maybe the housesitter wants some too once she is done with playing penguin (= slide on her belly over the ice) with the rest of you.

Eva

[Mary6906]

Yes, Eva, I"ll go for some pie... you "owe" me some.... Make mine a big slice with whipped cream please.

[Mary6906]

Ok, today is the 16th... we better start cleaning up the house and putting things back in order, Janis will be back on the 18th, we cannot leave any traces that we've been here .... Eva you'll have to release the housekeeper soon.... anyone know some hypnosis, we may have to erase her mind!!

[hoops]

Mary, i can erase her memory, just a little trick i learned in my martial arts training...i just wish i could make it work in reverse on myself.
sister Rose, I think we need to break out the fire hose... what a good idea it was to bring that! we'll give the house a once over, twice. spic and span inside and out! anyone who might fear being hit by mega water at dangerous speeds, you might need to wait out by the pool. and with a day and half left, it's just enough time drip dry the furniture and the carpets. we brought the giant fan too , didn''t we Sister Rose?

[Mary6906]

I put a shop vac behind the last seat in the bus... I'll go get it so I can suck up any left over water or other remnants!! I also have some Oxi-Clean so we can get out any stains left by the dog barf.

[hoops]

thee dog barf will be easy, it's Redjacks special sauce I'm worried about, that and the stuff Dave put his hand in. and someone forgot what happened last time with the ceiling fan. I don't know what's on the ceiling, but ah well, it should be easier than the mac and cheese from last time.

Y'all, Eva has a big knife and a glint in her beautiful blues... I'm a scert! WWJD? If anything bad happens I want to donate my brain to science classes all over the world. I wish to leave my sense of style to Greener. And she can have my guitars too. To Dr. J, I leave everything else. She can figure out what to do with it. She thinks about things! WWJD?

[hoops]

Elliott, stop giving your body parts away, it's tacky. I've got it all covered, unless someone peeps, we're totally under the radar. so as long as you keep your lips zipped, we'll be back to "normal' by midnight and the rudie bus will go back to carting poor little children too and from ...I can't say it...I MUST!...back to school ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
