Smoke on the Water

[thefoolish]

I know you all know Richard Friedman, our own yachtexplorer. He is a fantastic guy and I thought I would share with you an awesome opportunity that he just told me about.

I've always loved being on the water, but never really had the chance to experience it to its maximum potential. Thanks to Richard, though, I might finally have that chance.

Check out some information about Richard's Pipers' Cruise here .

Just so you know, other than thinking highly of Richard, I have no business affiliation!

I enjoy learning, and I'm far from perfect--a good formula for improving skills! It's sad I have to point out my appreciation for correct usage these days. :lol:

As for your post, I wish I wasn't tied down with the opportunity I have for my work. Otherwise, I'd punk-rock it out, throw caution to the wind and add to my list of experiences yet again. Yachts with fine pipe folk? Sounds awesome!

Obviously, you'll have the chance. Timing is everything.

One day, I hope. It may be a while away, but I will do whatever I can to make it happen!

Sadly, speaking and writing correctly are becoming dying arts. I hope that someone will attempt to keep them alive.

I think "myriad of" is acceptable too. Both adjetive and noun forms are correct actually. Jus' sayin...

'Myriad' can also be used with or without an 'a' before it: "a myriad experiences" / "myriad experiences". Both are correct.

...I was taught "of" is irrelevant with the use of "myriad." It may have become so common that simply using "myriad" is an anachronism. Kind of how I suspect prepositions at the end of sentences will undoubtedly be correct by popular usage, and believe it or not, "your" becoming a double-use word.

A myriad of ways to put one's myriad experiences to use, lol!

I KNEW that was going to happen... MisterE strikes again... seriously, my thoughts:

"MisterE is now going to combine all possible uses and nuances of 'myriad' in one statement."

:lol:

Okay, back to the topic, this is worth the yachting expedition alone... that chef sounds like she knows her stuff:

Improper sentence structure... I'm the only one that can get away with that on this board! :lol: :lol:

It's called "casual," dammit. Ain't gonna lie and cover it up none, neither. 8)

LOL I don't know if you've ever noticed, but I use "..." in a majority of my posts... it just "feels" right. :lol:

" :lol: " <----- extra funny?

I don't know if you've ever noticed, but I'm the reason most threads get totally sidetracked. I even try and bring them back around again, and it fails. I'm totally that bad kid in the back of class, that means no harm, but certainly will get you in trouble.

SO.

Back to the menu:

...it looks delicious. Foolish, do you think you can chain together 12,000 smackers by May?

 

[MisterE]

Ok, back on topic! (I just can't resist grammar talk, lol)

Looks like a blast. A little out of my budget..... ale:

 

[Kyle Weiss]

I certainly couldn't raise $12,000 in four months, unless I lived in the back of my 4Runner and ate out of trashbins. :lol: Maybe a year, or so, sure...

I wouldn't rank it as the most likely outcome, but I will do my damnedest!

 

[Hermit]

I would dearly love to do the Alaskan Song,
but it's out of my range. It looks like a fantastic
trip. It's a beautiful boat and Richard has one of
the finest pipe collections I've seen. All things
considered, if I was spending another week on
the water, I'd prolly be diving in the Caribbean. :lol:

Just think, even if you get a nice pile of savings, the pipes you could get...and possibly a cheaper getaway with them and your lady-friend!
