Another marine biologist at your service, sir. And since I'm afraid I can't be the penguin expert (eh?

), may I be the whale expert? I like them a lot too.

So you may put me down as a marine biologist, a whale expert, or even Pitchie's assistant (some sort of junior marine biologist?) who's just specialised in whales. Whatever sounds the best.

Okay, what exactly does that mean?

Never mind.

Well, you can be both whale AND penguin expert - you just won't be exercising one of the parts of your expertise here, that's all

I think this expedition could do very well with two full-fledged marine biologists, Lommy - after all, the arctic is just an ice-covered sea, isn't it? As a matter of fact, my special field of research is cnidaria and mollusca - you know, jellyfish, squids and everything soft and wobbly (plus a minor interest in echinodermata, such as starfish); I'll gladly leave whales, dolphins and other sea-borne mammals to you. (By the way, remind me to tell you that joke about the dolphin, the squid and the shark one of these days, if you haven't heard it yet and the exigency of our expedition leaves us time for such matters.)
Pleased to have you on board, anyway!

(Which reminds me -

Paleo-mathematician?

Waver Pythagoras, Plato, Euclid, Descartes, Leibnitz, Gödel... well all of you! Here's paleo-mathematics! L. Ron Hubbard might have loved it?

Heh, I think our characters should get very well together characterwise Mac - as impossible as it looks looking at our history of ww together...

Starting Night 1 on Saturday will work, for I find out we are actually returning Saturday. Instead of rushing back Sunday, we have that day for resting and recooperating from full stomachs of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and all kinds of deliciousness.

Okay, that sounds pretty good. I'd hope to recruit a few more people (or even more than few) meanwhile, but I can set the start date for the 28th, 9 PM GMT - and if somebody is not okay with that, there is plenty time to raise objections (and if possible, give better suggestions) on this thread.

Count me in. I'll be the mechanic who fixes all the equipment when you scientist-types break it.

satansaloser2005 · 11-20-2009, 08:36 AM

Actually, put me down with a question mark. I've been having internet trouble. I'll let you know though, and connection permitting I'm still up for playing.

Oh, you don't need to worry about them. I've got the market for breaking important techy-things cornered.
