thebes Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 So the hot weather starts rolling in at the first thing youknow The Twins start agitating for an in-ground pool. Since I live in a townhouse with a stamp-sized backyard,this presents some problems. First there is the matter of cost . This is soon solved when The Twins tell methat their favorite Uncle Bernie Mad-something-or-other has come up with themoney, and hopes to break out/break away and join us poolside when constructionis finished. There’s still the matterof getting an Olympic-sized pool into 30 square feet. So I approach myneighbors on either side. The guys seem suitably concerned about the need formaking sure the gals get a good even tan, and so they offer up their backyards. Sure, a certain amount of caterwauling and bleating is heardfrom their spouses but after a visit from The Twins Uncle Doctor Kerokorian, orsomething, domestic bliss seems to rule and the wives demurely fade into thebackground. Construction finished upthis week, the pools full and to celebrate were having a 60’s Astronaut Go-GoPool Party. The girls are enthusiastic and emerge from their dressingroom sporting a Bettie and Veronica look. Tawny has her locks worn straight and is wearing one of those bikinimesh bra thingies with tall sandals accentuating her marvelous pegs. Tickles, has her hair in a bow, and issporting one of those never go out of style teeny weeny pink bikini withrhinestone flip- flops and oh she’s sight to see. I, of, course have my hair shaped into a flat-top, suitablefor space shuttle landings, and am sporting my oh so smart black businessleather shoes, red knee socks, paisley shorts, and a madras short-sleeved shirt. So we are ready to party. We’ve squeezed in a Tiki bar andit’s loaded with authentic 60’s booze. We didn’t have any room left over for the Weber, so it’s on floats inthe pool. Tickles is besides herselfbecause Gary’s due soon and he promised to bring an inflatable trampoline. Ihad Craig mix her up a Tom Collins to calm here down, but it seems to haveconfused her: Tickles: “Why is itcalled a Tom Collins? Shouldn’t it be Tom or more properly Mr. Collins? Here’s the trampoline! Wheeeeeeeee!” Triceratops got hereearly is ensconced in one of those floating palm trees and knocking down HarveyWallbangers. Seti on his way and he’s bringing the Hi-Fi Girls. Sounds? Got it covered. There’s no room in the yard so I’ll just sink the whole system into thepool. I’m using Cornwalls, which I’mpretty sure are sealed and I’ve melted wax over the tube pre and amp to keepwater out and I’ll float the turntable on an inner tube. Hey, what couldpossibly go wrong, and besides Fini gets to be the DJ. I’ve only got a limited amount of astronaut music, so whenyou show up poolside you better bring us a song or two, and don’t forget totell Craig your favorite 60’s drink. He’s a genius at bartending and I’m surehe’ll fix you right up. First songs cued up and, of course, it’s “Telstar” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 The Tiki bar's starting to fill up. Better wend my way through the crowd and order up a Honolulu Cooler (1 jigger Southern Comfort, juice of 1/2 lime and Pineapple juice). After Secret Agent Man, I think I'll toss on Big Daddy's Twilight Zone version of "Star Wars". You'll love this song: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Things are starting to heat up, Seti's tiki tunes got the crowd moving. Yes it is a crowd, indeed,. Over in the children's pool, Tawny and Buz Aldrin are in heated discussion about quarks, mesons and something called the "funky chicken". This happens a lot when your girlfriends are rocket scientists and genius level mathematicians. Tickles clobbered OT for trying to untie the little pink bow that holds both halves of her bikini top together. Some of the UFO crowd is trickling in. Speaking of trickling, will someone get those little green alien midgets to hold it until they get back to their saucer,. Fer crying out loud they are turning the pool green! Time to switch over to the hard stuff. Better get a Bourbon Hardball, and make it Fleischmann's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 She clobbered me for actually untieing it, not just for trying. Another martini will help dull the pain, and spin the Doors Break on Through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennie Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I found it. It was filed with "The Beach Boys" for some reason.......... If Marty can get the "twins" splashing around enough, we can be "SURFING WITH THE ASTRONAUTS(1963)"! [] Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
