I have had several emails from "The Sheik" this morning & finally had to ask him if he had a Harem because he was a "hunka hunka of burning love." He refused to answer & suggested I ask the group - so here goes.....

Is this banter partner a "hunka hunka" or is this all in his dreams?


As I fly in to join the Margarita tour....

He's a hunka.

Only 1 hunka - what a shame!

As I recall, he is about 6'3", very trim(always working out), wears gorgeous clothes and has beautiful smile - of course, I saw all of this after many many Sambucas! Joanna

OK ladies - is he 1 hunka or 2 - & what about the burning love part????

I prefer not to answer on the hunka 1 or 2 question...burning love part, well, I have some definite opinions after spending much time with Erika. I'm keeping her in my prayers too the poor girl - Joanna

At least 3....BIG BURNING!

Marcie: You are sooooooooo funny and you do not tell the truth!! atleast 3???? Put your glasses on marcie....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha -

And what is his next cruise?

I think I need to look at the DDD photos to see if he is pictured.

He will be on MINT

I'm tempted to start a babe tread. <img border="0" alt="[naughty]" title="" src="graemlins/naughty.gif" />

Chip - My husband might be interested in participating on the board if I tell him there might be a babe thread - Joanna

We need a babe then. I have my thoughts but I get into too much trouble as it is.

Best to keep them to yourself - less trouble that way - lust in your heart not on LCT - Joanna (and I bet I know who your babe would be!!)

Eat your hearts out guys!!
Whether or not I'm a hunka hunka burning love is totally irrelevant - whats' important is that I have the most beautiful, feisty, articulate and intelligent ladies in the whole world in our harem. They are also the most loyal and true.
For you outsiders looking in, applications are available at your local Walmart store.

Betty, are you over 30 and under 90? We do have our standards after all. I really love the Margarita tour portrait! You may be a candidate - just make formal application, please. (There are going to be a few vacancies, maybe, due to smart-alecky mouth!) I'll keep you posted.

Chip - you want to be warned. Joanna's husband is known far and wide as the "Snake." Do you really want someone with a nickname of the snake to be sharing a babe thread with you?

oh boy now you have Vickie questioning your logic - you'd better just come on board and repent sinner - put the Aretha Franklin song Respect on and practice singing Repent instead of Respect - it is your only way out of big trouble - Joanna (I just sent this to silver tongue but as you can see he won't see the light) Martin's last burning love was the Chicago Fire of 1871

Yeah, lit by Joanna!!

Joanna. All the babes on LTC are spoken for and I learned a lontime ago not to go there.

Sheik. In my former occupation I had to deal with a lot of rattlesnakes. They made excellent hatbands

Chip, fried rattle snakes are the best & I think you just fried a few.

Sheik - check out my avitar & just guess my age. Is it my old soroity pix, a current photo, or the plastic surgeons computer image of how at 90 I could look with just a little nip & tuck! And another clue to my age - it is almost time for my afternoon nap. So guess away.

Dear Betty,
I like naps too. I will never try to guess the age of a lady. Too fraught with danger.

Chip! Atta guy! We have to stick together! Don't let them wear you down! Keep up the great work! (You know, I could use a new headband for my hat - wondering if Joanna is doing anything this weekend!?)

Isn't he a riot - you haven't lived till you meet Marty - such a way with words - and he always graciously accepts barbs he is just one secure hunk of - forget I am not going there - Joanna

Sheik,
Having met the lovely lady, I can tell you that Betty's avitar does not do her justice. I can also tell you that should you meet her in person, you will have met your match.

Sheik, I do highly recommend Betty, you haven't "lived" until you share a glass of wine with her.

Sheik...my God...your thread may become a hot topic soon! Who'd of guessed?????

I tried to take a photo of the Sheik at our last LCT Sarasota/Venice get-together but it was forbidden by guess who! Next time I'll just use a spycam and catch something to post.

I second Joanna's comments about Marty...lots of fun - Irish Wit and sense of humor. Couldn't ask for a better cruisemate! But DON'T buy a bridge from him!

Margo: I have a pix of him I think he is looking at me with adoring eyes - I will dig it out and let someone with computer knowledge post it - just so you all will know we are good friends - Joanna

Sheik,

I have been quite taken with your avitar for some time now. You mean that's not the real you? How disappointing. I can only hope the true picture of you does your dynamic personality justice!

Joanna, please post his photo so I can see what this hunk looks like "in the flesh." After all, I just got recruited to the harem. I'd like to see what "the merchandise" is before signing on the dotted line!

I will look for it tomorrow - you definitely want to know about the merchandise - Joanna

I just noticed - HE'S BACK. I think it is time for that afternoon nap again.

Yes, I'm back!! Wounded, lacerated, but intact!
My buddy Howie says you guys are too tough and that you shouldn't beat up on the old boy - he may be right, but a knight never walks away from a battle! I see that Joanna has jumped ship for poor Mark's collection - that's okay too - the real harem lives on! I hope Mark appreciates just what he's getting and that all of his shots are up to date.
Kimmi, Sheri, Suzanne, Ngaire, Claudia M have all been magnificently silent - I know they're laughing themselves into histerics about this brouhaha I seem to have fallen into! I want to thank Chip for his support - when we finally meet, the drinks are on me!! I know you won't impose like Denise, who is dreaming of my credit card and all those non-payments it's going to make!

The Sheik rides again!!!

Impose?

Sheik, you are the sore looser who has sent my treasured tea service, collect, because you had a hissy fit about parting with it!

I am a woman of honor and integrity. To think that my simple winning of the Chucky Tea Service, for naming the World Cruise, could create such hostility towards me, by you, is beyond imposition! And, I thought you were a gentleman! HAH!

Howie is a very wise man - Quit, to avoid further shaming by your dwindling harem!

Those, that you have mentioned as not chiming in, will do so in due time! Watch out for the second wave! I hope you got a good weekend's rest, Sheik, cause your gonna need it!

I hope you have enough saliva to lick those wounds!

WOW Denise you have been elevated to sainthood in my eyes - and you are smart, witty and very charming besides being a saint - I hope the bad older Sheik mends his ways....no chance though! Joanna

Ah, the carping of the little mind! Yes, I got a great rest this weekend and am ready for more fun.
I do hope the quality of opposition improves, because to date, it's really been no big thing!
I only sent the tea service collect, because the winner always pays the freight - or haven't you ever won before, and don't know the rules of engagement?
I hope Betty got in lots of flight hours this weekend - she'll need the practice if she's to fly to Mexico in Nov.! I understand the winds up there can be severe, so Betty, if you need a scarf, just let me know - I have one, used only once by Lizzie Borden just before they hung her.
I'd be willing to part with this if you think it might be a help - and I'll even pay for the postage!
Marty

Betty,

So glad you got that blurb about paying for the postage in writing and for all our eyes to see!

If Sheik is paying for postage, he must have hit lotto this weekend!

Shouldn't somebody write about now that this fun to-and-fro is pure enjoyment? For those lurkers (oops, learners) who haven't posted yet, please feel free to do so with full knowledge that I, and my attack friends Joanna, Denise, and Betty will not rip your face off! Our squabbles are purely inra-family and are written for the enjoyment of anyone who wants to read them. Some of us mental misfits just like a little fight now and then where no one gets hurt. We Irish types (Joanna and myself) just happen to like it more than most people!

So please enjoy the infighting, if you will, and post away! I, and all my buddies, really want to see your questions, reflections and comments.
Marty

Aw, gee, Marty. I see you spent some time taking sensitivity training classes over the weekend!

There's hope for you yet!

We'd love to see others chime in, as well! The more the merrier!

Chime Chime!! Welcome back Marty!! I hope you and your Saint had a fabulous weekend...are you returning for moral support or more verbal abuse?? (Remember what I told you last week...we only tease the ones we love!)

Thank you Marcie!
You are still a pearl beyond any price! Thank you for chiming chiming in...Yes, I had a great weekend Playing golf with my friend Howie. I hope you and Tom also had a nice weekend. There are those who consider it a great weekend when the zoo keeper throws a hunk of red meat through the bars for them to feed on - they know who they are. My wife and I prefer to dine, however.

My best to Tom Tom the Dancing Man.

Just read the entire thread........ Margo - I think you said it just right! :app:

Claudia

What is chiming chiming in???? Are YOU losing it old Sheik???

Marcie,

We're all lovers, not fighters, right?
