On A Slow Boat to China

Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser

I’d love to get you
On a slow boat to China,
All to my self alone.
Get you to keep you in my arms evermore,
Leave all your lovers (lovelies)
Weeping on the faraway shore.
Out on the briny
With the moon big and shinny,
Melting your heart of stone.
I’d love to get you
On a slow boat to China,
All to my self alone.

[:D]

Be thankful you're not getting the manuals printed in the middle east! You'd be waiting for the container X-ray exams (maybe an additional couple of weeks!) and who knows what else!

Are we there yet? No.
Are we there yet? No.
Are we there yet? I'll let you know when we're getting close.
Are we there yet? Didn't I just tell you I'd let you know?!?!
Are we there yet? NNNOOOO!!!!
Are we there yet? NO! NOW QUIT ASKING!!!
Are we there yet? NO! NOW SHUT UP!!!!

Dad, I have to go to the bathroom....

(Yes, I have kids. Can you tell????)

I hope "that boat" has better escorts than my damn cv's do!

Please, PLEASE read my replies above.

Sorry Erik, I was composing my message before your replies, above, were posted.

It would be classic irony if the boat was a Japanese flagged carrier. [:D]

Hay could we find out the name of the boat and put it in the database - perhaps as its own 'side'. If sunk both sides lose.[:D]

I got a card and a car charger for my iphone. Kinda sucks.

ORIGINAL: Graycompany

I kinda did to. I got ripped off for Fathers day, I told the family that is what I wanted, and so all I got was a card and a steak dinner[:(]

I got a kiss and a "Happy Fathers Day" from the wife and was quite content with that.

Rob,

you misunderstood me. Price does matter for me as well but I've said 'exact price'. Since we know the original price of WitP and that it will be somewhat less gives it away pretty much. For me that means that it will certainly be under 70 bucks, most probably less than 60. Is it pricey? Yes. Does it worth it? It seems at the moment it does indeed.

Then I don't see any point in teasing the Matrix staff if it's going to cost 56 or 61 bucks...you stated yourself a couple of times that your credit card is ready, so even for those who are on limited budget 5 dollars difference would not change anything.

No… no, they won’t be shipping by boat, it’s just terminology.

EDIT; Cool, new page never done that before.

The manuals are literally "on the boat".

Some of you have probably heard of the song "Slow Boat to China" ... well we joke that our manuals are one the "Slow Boat from China". But it is actually not a joke - it is the literal truth - truth is stranger than fiction!!!

But the good news - is that at least the manuals are finally ON THE BOAT! Now what about those port loading routines Don - is there enough capacity to load all the manuals before the end of the month? When will the boat actually sail!!!
