2008 PNW Chapter's Cle Elum Gathering

(Narrated by Quest-TD)

 

 

Day 1:

With Scouter Jan and yours-truly being the first team to arrive at camp Cle-Elum (Murff's summer secret little hiding place), Good ole Jan decided to do it the Aussie-way: take off all his top clothes and sun bathe behind his newly acquired ReadyGlow heater. Oh yes, some ale on his hand as well....

(Jan's face tells a million words when he has a beer on his hand....something like "...life is good...")
As Murff and co. gradually arrives and dusk falls, we decided that it is the time to cook dinner for the hosts and guests. Here we have Quest "da turd doctor" whipping up his famous pasta dish for the Friday dinner... (and Murff decides to pull back for a quick picture)...

In this picture, Murff is showing off his newly "bastardised" maroon coloured 220 lanternstein, with Quest on the right trying to scoop the insanity off of Murff's brain...

(Someone afterwards mentioned that he heard the turd doc murmured something like "...sweet sweet revenge..." the moment they took this picture together)
To the left we have Jan's newly acquired ReadyGlow heater unit that he acquired earlier that morning; to the right we have Jan's table lamp with glass shade (already glowing in anticipation for the wonderful dinner)

As darkness falls, we decided to have dinner with Jan's table lamp as the main center piece.

We are having turd doc's famous freshly made pasta, olive oil with sun dried tomatoes over salad, and garlic bread. Oh yes, don't forget the beers and ales we have on the table...

 

Day 2:

"Rise and sunny, and where's da dunnie?" sez Scouter Jan as he stepped out of the trailer with a roll of Tee Pee (toilet paper) on his hand.

And here we have a rather perplexed-looking Murff in the background staring at Jan's table lamp piece....I bet ya at that moment he was wondering if there's gonna be enough gas in the table lamp (or enough caffeine in the instant coffee) to last him through the night...

 
A picture worth's a million bucks when Scouter Jan (with a cup of instant caffeine in his hands) utters something about something on the picnic table as Murff stared at Jan speechless....
Much to our surprise, Murff's face glows like a little kid in the candy store as he polishes away the dirt on his newly acquired turd lantern vent...
A nice little smile on Murff's face (a sign of content) appears as we joke about him going to bastardise this poor ole 275A turd...
Here we have Murff lighting one mantle on his turd...with one hand!
And now, with his facial expression filled with anticipation, he proceeds to light the next mantle...

(*Apparently, there are 2 interpretations to this picture*)

 

[Politically-incorrect version]:

"...Ahh!! Stop filming me in front of da turd! I'm hideous....." sez Murff.

 

[Politically-correct version]:

" Waddaya looking at?" sez Murff.
