EagleInKY 14 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Dang it, FOG beat me to it. I'm pretty sure he's right. Samantha Stevens often said "Oh my stars", especially to Darren and Endora. Link to post Share on other sites

scoutingagain 20 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Bumps to FOG and EVMORI. I'll confess I thought Elizabeth Montgomery was pretty hot in her day. Especially as the series continued and her skirts got shorter and shorter. Hey, I was an adolescent male teen. give me a break. At least, folks "earn" my bumps and I've never given a down bump....yet. And I'm back up to 5 star! SA Link to post Share on other sites
NJCubScouter 1389 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hey, suddenly I have 5 stars! Woo woo! The thrill of victory! (Of course we all know what follows right behind "the thrill of victory," that's what happens tomorrow, probably, when I plummet back down to a star and a half.) Oh well, I won't be around to see the ratings ping-pong around for most of the weekend, I will be camping with the troop on the battleship New Jersey. (I guess it's still called camping even though we'll be sleeping in the old crew decks on the ship. If I'm in a sleeping bag, it's camping.) Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 61 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Does one get preferential treatment on a battleship if one has five stars? Eamonn Link to post Share on other sites
scoutmom 10 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Well, would you look at that! I have 5 stars! How on earth did that happen? After all, I'm one of those "dangerous" women! LOL Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Scoutingagain, my obscure object of desire was Barbara Eden (Jeannie) although Agent 99 (airing at the same time) was also just wonderful. I couldn't get past the nose thing with Samantha - reminded me of a rabbit. Scoutmom, the dangerous ones are more intriguing. Link to post Share on other sites

Rooster7 11 Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 Its Barbara Eden hands downor any other way those hands might be turned. Truly, when I was a boy, "I dreamed of Jeannie"... ;-) No witches, secret agents, or stranded castaways come closenot even Susan Dey.

OldGreyEagle 5 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Melody Patterson as Wrangler Jane in F Troop or Deborah Walley as TV's Tammy were my picks Link to post Share on other sites
NJCubScouter 1389 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Eamonn, as it turns out, the answer is yes, you get preferential treatment on the battleship New Jersey for having five stars... but only if you happen to have been Admiral William Halsey. One of the many things I learned on my tour was that the New Jersey served as Admiral Halsey's flagship during a number of Pacific battles during 1944-45. They have his office preserved with his name and five stars on the door (which may be a bit of poetic license, as he was not awarded his fifth star until December 1945, after the war was over.) By the way, I know this is not the "Camping" topic, but what a neat trip this was! Anyone within reasonable distance of Camden, New Jersey (right across the river from Philadelphia) might want to consider it for their troop. (There were a few Cub packs there as well, but I don't think I'd recommend it for Cubs other than Webelos, for a variety of reasons.) Although the ship is now open for public tours, this was a special Scouting "encampment," which started on 5 p.m. Saturday after the regular public tour day ended, and we were off the ship by 9 the next morning, at which point the regular customers were starting to line up. One thing that some of our boys got to do which I don't think you get on the regular tour was serve as honor guard for the flag ceremonies in the evening and morning, and to dole out food to everybody else on the ship. (My son lucked out in being tabbed for the evening honor guard and not galley duty.) The cost (some of which was picked up by our troop) was $45 per person, which included dinner, breakfast, a 2-hour tour, free time to roam around (only in certain areas! For some reason they didn't want people visiting the cruise missile launcher unescorted) and of course, the deluxe sleeping accommodations. (Deluxe if you are a sardine, that is. I usually move around a lot in my sleep, but I had to pretty much stay put to avoid the guy above me thinking he was in an earthquake.) But, other than a bit of back and neck pain the next morning, a great trip! Link to post Share on other sites
Marty_Doyle 10 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Our Pack has camped over on the Battleship Massachusetts in Battleship Cove, Falls River, Mass. (http://www.battleshipcove.org/) approximately every third year. The Cub Scouts love it - in addition to the Massachusetts, there is a destroyer, submarine, Russian/East German(?) cruise missile ship, PT boats and more. The cost and schedule are about the same as the New Jersy. As NJ pointed out, back and neck pains, plus essentially no sleep all night long are the complaints from Scouters and parents. But the boys love it. Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Back and neck pain. You know, the boys in this troop have never whined about something like that. Oh, you were talking about the boys, right? Tee hee. Link to post Share on other sites

OldGreyEagle 5 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I never understood that big deal over the stars anyway, those with superior written skills and masterful rhetorical presentation were recognized while base cellar dwelling intellect was soundly rewarded as well.
