OK...fess up. Was it Uncle Cy's Jimmy in the lake? He could have left by now if his Jimmy wasn't so waterlogged.....

I hope Uncle Cy is safely on his way. Hopefully he won't need to resort to using his trusty Cutlass, the Supreme all-purpose tool, to fight through the mob getting to the airport for his trip to Monaco before the Toranado strikes, let he be become too Reliant on his ever-present Samurai powers.

I looked all over town and country for our trusty Baysider reporter today, who had covered this story. When we finally rendezvoused, I diplomatically asked, "Uno question for you.... Any insight on who left the Jimmy in Peggy's Cove?"

He adjusted his aviator glasses and ascot, "I thought this story was going to be a breeze and I've probed for more information, but I don't know who did it. Must have been a phantom or spirit. It beats me." There was an air of mystique to his voice.

I looked at him with empathy, "That's tough. I don't envoy you one bit."

Seriously... no name yet to the case. So the thread lives on....

chaseisland · 12-12-2008, 01:45 PM

I'm glad I didn't PILOT that JIMMY into the lake!

If this thread gets any longer, it might just start to get International attention.

Quilt Lady · 12-14-2008, 03:57 PM

(or waaaay too much time without power).

Jimmy was Endeavor(ing) to Impreza the Grand Marquis of Monte Carlo. Suddenly, a Galant Mustang Charger(ed) in front of him, speeding like a Rabbit, trying to Escape the Focus of a Fit Cougar. The ghostly Spectra of this Frontier Raider spooked poor Jimmy and caused him to Edge off of the Path(finder).

An Expedition to the Town & Country, on a Quest to Wrangle(r) the Raider back to the Frontier, failed to find the Rogue Outlander.

An Avalanche of publicity has caused poor Jimmy to Journey to Silverado or Aspen, without a Compass, to seek out a Sky Vue. Soon the Torrent will Passat and we will give Maxima Tribute to that great Patriot, Jimmy, for providing us all with such great entertainment!

Hello everyone,
I'm new on the forum. I'm also new on the lake and would you believe I bought my cottage in Peggy's Cove Estates! About 300 feet from the water. That is our dock next to the Jimmy in those pictures. I was there that day but I arrived just after it happened. It was my second time there. What a welcome ha?

RI Swamp Yankee · 12-14-2008, 09:51 PM

Welcome to the forums Mat. That must have been quite a Discovery seeing that in the water next to your dock.

I think my reaction would have been.. "Wow, look at that, there's a Jimmy in the H2. O, next to my dock. "

The new record for largest lure used in freshwater fishing goes to this guy who used the Jimmy Spinner. Unfortunately the fish caught with this new lure were crushed beyond recognition. Good news is the next bass fishing tournament from Ame’s will require the use of the Jimmy Spinner

tis · 12-15-2008, 06:30 PM

I don't think anybody has said Jeep ers!

Ropetow · 12-15-2008, 08:06 PM

Poor Uncle Cy, stuck here for this ice storm. Were he in Florida, Sidekick-back and relax, enjoying the warm weather. No, he wouldn't rub it in too much. That wouldn't be too Swift. Cy's the kind of guy who likes to Accentuate the positive in a Diplomatic manner.

Skipper of the Sea Que · 12-23-2008, 06:41 AM

How many MPG (Messages Per Gag)? Humm Err..., gee, oh,... that should be GPM, Gags Per Message. Don’t Balk at that Ernie, just Come On Down. Bring your friends, Lauren, Dee and Ann - they are hot and will get the Mercury rising. I like those pretty pick-ups.

Plenty of seating on fine Corinthian leather. Before we get going do you want to snack on some Rolls Roy(sss) before you Sit Roy an’ (Citroën) listen to this story

Every year we have a gathering like a Fiesta, at my friend Ed’s house in one of the boroughs of NY. His mom always makes fiery chili with plenty of Pinto beans. Someone who should know better asked who made the chili. The reply, of course, was, “ it’s Ma’s Duhhh” (Mazda). We sit on the front Porsche and Ed, the Rambler, goes on and on with stories. But wait, there’s more! Don’t groan yet, there‘s a real stretch just ahead...

He RECALLED the yearly MIT college prank - clandestinely putting something seemingly impossible and unusual up high on the roof of a college building. One year a big car, another time it was their scientific experimental submarine. The local paper headline that year read, “MIT sub is hi(gh)” (Mitsubishi). It’s enough to make you gNASH your teeth trying to figure out how they did that.

Ed worries about his job as a car salesman in this economy.
The mortgage wRANGLER at the bank wants to change terms of his CONVERTIBLE mortgage and Ed has zoning issues with the borough. The zoning dispute will be resolved even if he has to go to court and Sue Borough (Subaru) officials - those hot air bags.

Ed loves that “new” smell. New boats, new quilts, new car smell and even new toy smell. Nothing like a good ToyOder (Toyota) to him. As soon as you see Ed Sell a car you know how good he is. And every Sunday watch Ed-Sell-a-Van. (Youngs won’t get the reference but the Old’s will). This mental time travel is enjoyed by friends Dee Laurie Ann and Ed. (remember them? I introduced them up in the 2nd sentence). I know, it’s a big stretch.

Before I depart, A few items to ponder:

Why couldn’t the Italian tourist drive his rent-a-car? No Key-uh.
still speaking with an Italian accent, What do some research doctors do in Italy? Look for A-cure-uh.
When my Honey’s roots are really showing should I tell her? “It’s time now, Hun Dye it again“?
I was originally going to talk about my wife’s weight and mention Hun Di(et) but didn’t want to stay in the garage tonight.
Is a Marine Corps veteran called a Cor-Vet?
Do people still talk about belly buttons being an innie or an outie (Audi)?
Anyone have proof that when it gets wrapped around a utility pole, Mercedes-Bends ?
When man of few words, Mr. T, went to hock his axe he was asked why he was at the shop. “We‘re taking pictures for an advertisement“, they said. “Are you here to model T?” “No fool“, he replied, I came “To Pawn T Axe”.
What do most kids say when school calls a snow DAY. WOO-hoo

Gotta go now, Too much egg nog. Besides, I hear the carolers (Corollas as we say in Bahston) coming up the driveway and I still have decorations I MUST HANG.

You may groan now

Things are really getting bad at Eds' dealership. The economy is really causing problems. My wife took her car to their service department. She couldn't afford the repairs, but they said they had to chargher anyway.

Well I can't speak for you but I think it's been a Lada fun. Perhaps this summer Capt B will give us an excuse to do a similar thread for boating. I think that would be a Regal treat.
