Who's Selling Ice: 2013

[Savannah]

The villainous poltroon!

THAT DASTARD!!!!!!

The sun-reddened scoundrel!

[Elliot]

I already used both dastardly and scoundrel. You have to come up with your own. That pernicious scallywag!

Did you?! How embarrassing for me.

. . . The ruddy rapscallion!

[Elliot]

Good one.

The felonious guttersnipe!

(Let's just see Felonious Guttersnipe, Esquire, dare ask me my camp address again!)

[FIGJAM]

Mooncalf Jobbernowl?

[Elliot]

Jobberknowl has a good sound to it, but what does it mean?
Now... Mooncalf is not even an adjective.... Maybe he's a moon-howling so-and-so? That seems to fit.

But we do know that he is a cantankerous blatherskite.

[FIGJAM]

Job´ber`nowl`
n. 1. A blockhead.

moon·calf (mnkf, -käf)
n.
1. A fool.
2. A freak.

[Elliot]

Ah... him. The scurvy rabble-rouser.

Now... who is it we are berating, again? And why?

[FIGJAM]

I don't wanna berate anybody.

I just like obscure words.

Those two were from W.C. Fields.

[Elliot]

...W.C. Fields.

*bows reverently*

Actually, we are berating Illy Dilly, that malodorous charlatan, for a prank he pulled on me while we sold ice last year. (All in good fun, of course.)

[Martiansky]

I sent a message to Bobcat Queen and Emerald and it turns out I hadn't been assigned onto Arctica so it they fixed it for me.
I just checked the sign up (works now---YAY!!) and Ice3 shifts are pretty full.
My sister signed up last night.

Are any of you, MDF, Elliot, Lucky, ?, ........ planning on just bringing extra people on your shifts where we could maybe slide in with you?

[Elliot]

I see a Slinger position still open on Thursday morning. As I understand it, we are doing both Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I'm Pushing Thursday morning. I don't know about bringing anybody extra.

[lucky420]

im not planning on bringing any extra people with me, but you can slide in with me if you want

[Martiansky]

Thanks, Lucky420!!
What kind of bottle should I bring?

[lucky420]

oh we're not particular at all...

[illy dilly]

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!
It finally worked! This is the third time today I've tried loading this post!

The villainous poltroon!

The sun-reddened scoundrel!

WOW, sounds like you lot know me pretty well!

Awesome Martiansky!
Tuesday 9 to Noon at Ice Cubed, Bobcat Queen said bring a few extra folks would be fine. I told her in an email just now that we're looking at about 7 to 8 extra folks. So there will be a total of 20 people. Which is fine, because a know a couple of the folks that are signed up to work, out side our group, and they wont mind being able to relax a bit.
Mayor will be sorta frustrated that we will have a handful of folks that he'll have to document, beyond just checking off/verifying, but that happens every year.

I don't wanna berate anybody.

Too Late Fig, you made me cry.

Is there a way to see the names of who signed up on the shift calendar?

There was last year -- all right there in front of us. But don't know about this year, since the system is completely different.

As for seeing who is volunteered for what positions (they've reformatted a little bit even since yesterday) if you look at the screen shot of the calendar I posted yesterday [page 5] at the top of the Calendar there is a drop down box that says "Shift View". If you switch that to "Share View" you're able to see who is working where and what shift.

i'm gonna go out on a limb here... ice cubed - ice 3?
thurs 9-12

CORRECT!!!
Official ePlaya Ice Shift is Thursday 9 to Noon.
Un-official Pirated ice shift is Tuesday 9 to Noon. (I plan to dress like a Pirate)

Do i get a sticker?

You sure do!
It will be with your WWWW Guide you get at Greeters

It won't let me sign in either.

I figured Illy will take care of me

I should be able to but, lets try and get you set up anyway. I'll PM you what I know about getting in.

[illy dilly]

As far as bringing extra folks to the Tuesday shift, its not like we need to go looking for people to bring. Its more of a way for ePlaya folks that didn't get "officially" signed up (me, Elliot, Martiansky, Tinkermom, Fishy, Asquared, VoiceintheDark, Mr.Potato...) to still go.

So basically all the folks that were on this list from way-back-when.

Here is what we have so far, please feel free to let me know if we should make any changes
Pushers:
1.Tinkermom
2. BillyBoy
3. Mr. Potatomoto
4. Illy Dilly
5. Elliot (Hopefully)

Slingers:
1. Lucky420
2. TamaraKay
3. Graidawg (G-Dawg)
4. Puppy
5. Asquared
6. Anonymous
7. VoiceInTheDark

Cashiers:
1. MyDearFriend
2. Adelle (Asquared's Friend)
3. _________ [need a cashier!]

Greeters:
1.Elorrum
2.Triken

Line Barkers:
1. SaritaSara
2. Cristina (VntDark's Daughter)

As I reread that list, I realize that not a single one of the Pushers got volunteered in time to get signed up official. Takes a special breed to stand in the back of an ice truck.

[Elliot]

Hey you yellow-bellied bushwhacker. I'm already signed up for a Tuesday 3 PM shift, so I will take a pass on crashing the morning party.

But on Thursday morning I'm with you -- signed up to Push.

[Martiansky]

Thanks for the welcome Illy....

Raises hand.....
I'm wintery folk.....I will help Push Tue 9-12(It'll help cool off those dang hotflashes)
You mind if my little sister Mohairs tags along? She's worked as a default world cashier before.
If we don't need her she can wander about......

[TinkerMom]

Blame the system on not getting us in on time to volunteer!!

Lol, ya I'm that special breed to stand in an ice truck!

But, Illy, you get to move the pallets and I will stand on them this time!!

And this time, some one better bring us more than a half of a bottle!!

[Elliot]

One of the Ice shift leads told me they often have trouble getting people to Push. For one thing, lots of perfectly normal people have never used a pallet jack. It really helps to have experience with that -- specially when you encounter a broken pallet. (There are ways, but they involve violence -- hydraulic violence. )

[Martiansky]

I use a pallet jack everyday at my job.
Print shop. We move stuff around all day.
Yes, some pallets are, as one of my co-worker says, very NAUGHTY!

Much fun "dizzy wrapping" pallets for shipping, too!

[Martiansky]

Why be "normal"?

And on top of that, using a pallet jack in a trailer, even worse using a pallet jack in a "wet trailer" with corrugated track floors not flat wood floors.

You're just special in general.
And thats fine, you can take a nap this time, its not like little'ol TinkerMom weighs enough to make a difference on a pallet of frozen water.
Right! To bad Pie Hole wont be there, after last year I think he understand the Booze as Bribes rule.

Let me figure out who all from the earlier volunteers is planning on going to the Tuesday Morning shift. But for sure tell her to come to the Thursday shift!!!

Speaking of which, who all is planning on crashing Pirating the Tuesday shift?

[Asquared]

amy out on tuesday, in (and signed up) on thursday (and will bring my pocket australian along...in my pocket)

[graidawg]

signed for both pirate and regular shift.

totally capable of working whatever role is required. Although if we dont get some booze supplied by the punters before 9.30 i am going to stop giving them the premium ice and they can just get the normal stuff like at the other ice outlets.

[Martiansky]

ePirates!
I'll bring the flag!

pirate crew flag.jpg

Anyone remember the movie...Ice Pirates?

.....give me a little hint on said bottle contents and I will bring it

[theCryptofishist]

I was going to hop on Tuesday. I did sign up for Artica, so I won't be a total unknown quality.

[illy dilly]

amy out on tuesday, in (and signed up) on thursday (and will bring my pocket australian along...in my pocket)

Sounds like a plan.
But what exactly is a pocket Aussie?
Could I use the phrase "is that an Aussie in your pocket or are you excited to see me?"

Fishy, you down for pirating on Tuesday?

[theCryptofishist]

yes
