That sounds like they play a lot of New Age/trance fusion on fancy synthesizer dealies. Which could work too!

If I remember correctly, I packed Shantypanties in my suitcase when I went to Buffalo to see my first show, but they never made it out of the hotel.  I chickened out.  (I could've sworn we had a chicken "smilie.")

I also bought a t-shirt to give to Seannie that I think he'll LOVE.  And yes, if I threw my panties at Bob and one of the other guys saw me and pointed me out, I jut might die right there.  But I think it's woth the risk.  I think Sean would hang them on Bob's mic stand for him.  Because, you know, he's a nice guy like that.

Not sure if I mentioned this before, but I also bought a pir of what I call my "Doyle Panties".  I saw them and (naturally, as a girl would when she sees panties) thought of him because they're green and they have a little crown on the front.  I've only worn them twice because it's a thong and I don't wear thongs.  It was too uncomfortable (sorry, Alan!).

Doyle Panites!! (sorry it's so big)

Hard to believe I killed this thread with a picture of the Doyle Panties!

I'll probably have a bunch of people telling me to let dead threads lie, but we were talking about this thread on Twitter, and I thought I'd dust it off and set it back on the coffee table and see what happens.

But in keeping with Maria's original intent, I have to ask a question here... hermmm...

If you could pick one of the guys (this shouldn't be hard for most of us) to go on a wholesome vacation with, who would you pick and where would you go and who would pay extra for two beds in the hotel?

Thank you for resurrecting this thread.  I didn't know about it before and it's hilarious.  I don't know how well I can contribute but I think it will be good for me to expand my...mind.

I am trying to think of an answer to your question.  So far I am definitely in the UK, on a road trip, and all the guys keep taking turns. I've never been able to settle on one.  An extra bed is handy for storage, if nothing else.  It's amazing how leaving out details can make this more interesting.

Aww, Squeezy, you didn't kill it! In fact, if I could wear a thong (I find them uncomfortable as well), I'd wear the Doyle panties too. *snicker*

Hmm, if I could pick one of the guys, I would pick Alan (no surprise there huh?). We would go to Montreal, and would take in as many Habs games as they were playing that week. And since Sean and Murray are not Habs fans, I'm making them pay for the extra beds in the hotel.

This is an excellent experiment. Like politicians, ugly buildings and whores, will this thread get more respectable with time?

(If it doesn't get impeached, imploded or infected first . . . maybe!)

And as for me, I'm taking Bob to Ireland. That Soundtrack of his is still my favorite. And if it's the kind of vacation I like to take, no one will be using any beds, 'cause ain't no one sleeping till the flight back home :)

I think the smile on my face right now actually surpasses the boundaries of my cheeks. 

I would love to go to Ireland with Bob as well, but not Scotland, because I imagine distractions abound there and we don't need Bobby feeling neglected.  And since I did not specify how long this wholesome vacation was to last, I would also sort of like to go to (this is going to sound random) Malaysia, because the mangosteen is purported to be the best-tasting fruit in the world, and I am exceeeeeeeeedingly curious about this.  I'm sure we could think of a ton of wholesome things to do with a fruit like that.

And gosh, where else would we go???

I have to think about this.........

Hmm, a vacation with the b'ys, eh? 

Well I'd have to take 4 -

 Murray -  We stay put in Ontario and I'd have him give me a tour of HIS favourite places in the province, talk music and old Frutimes. 

Alan - I'd have Alan spend a week with me here in WNY showing him the hidden treasures of the place and having a right proper BBQ with some good friends 

Bob - Bob and I could be "dangerous" two history buffs who love the violin, yeah that'd make for some interesting times and conversations. I wonder what book store we'd decimate first - my choice for venues would be Halifax or anywhere in the Maritimes. pity whatever tour guide got us.

 

Sean - Sean I would spend the time in NFLD with and I'd have him show me the province as he would want a Yank to see it.  and I'd likely drive him crazy with getting him to talk to me about music and how to deal with the problems I have learning it. 

 

I wouldn't take Kris because honestly I am beginning to like the man and don't want to drive him insane with questions about obscure parts of his province's history - or drag him on yet more trips around the province seeing all the little towns in it. :) (I'm just a bit of a nut about NS. )

Incidently, did you guys know that the world's biggest bookstore is located in Toronto, Ontario?  I suddenly feel the need to stay in Canada for a while.  Come to think of it, I'm sure being snowed in at a cozy cabin with a bunch of books would be an ideally Bobtastic vacation.

And some instruments that just happen to be there too.  I wouldn't play the bodhran in front of Sean, but perhaps Bob, if there were wine involved...

Wholesome wine, of course!

Because I'm a proper sort of girl.

Still on the world's greatest pub crawl in the UK - mostly bouncing between Glasgow and Edinburgh with regular stops in Stirling.  I've always wanted to go back for another visit and who could resist those traveling companions?  I might even drag them up to visit the in-laws in Aberdeen!  Wow this is distracting!

 My question is this...why does it have to be "wholesome"?  Because trust me, if I was allowed to pick one of the guys (Alan BTW)...what I would do to that poor guy would not be wholesome.  The hotel guests and staff (in Ireland) would think he found religion because he would surely be screaming "OH..."  

Well, I'm sure you get the picture

As for the extra bed, there would be no need for an extra bed unless we broke the first one...which could definitely be a possibility...

I'm am probably going Straight to Hell just for this posting alone....

My motto in life..."I'd rather regret the things I've done than the things I didn't do..."

That was actually the point of my original post.  I was hoping to elicit (or illicit, perhaps?) some responses that were plausibly wholesome but were in actuality completely filthy.  Also wondering who would be the first to leave that idea in the dust.  It took longer than I expected!

Of course, you wouldn't need two beds!  You'd only need them if this were really a wholesome vacation...

*wink wink nudge nudge*

As per the quoted part, yup been there many times. Stopped going because their staff got outright rude with me when  I asked for Canadian History - on more than one occasion The seemed to feel that as an adult I should know all that already . Heck, I am a history buff - my areas of focus are the American Colonial Period and Canadian History, particularly the History of the Arcadians and Nova Scotia. ON the other hand, Can you picture Bob dealing with rude bookstore clerks. *shudders*  That look of his would be enough to put fear in their hearts
