Meeting Vol and other fans on a Cruise Ship

[BigOrangeMojo]

Generally losers attach themselves to a winning team and want everyone to know it at all times. Probably had a different team 10 years ago.

Ive got a neighbor who when I moved in (2005) was an UGA fan and flew an UGA flag. Urban came and he became a UF fan (2006) and started to fly a UF flag. The day after Urban faked his heart attack after Saban beat him down (2009), he took down the UF flag and replaced it with a Bama flag.

When Bama lost to Auburn this year, I (being the smarta-s that I am) asked him if he was going to replace the Bama flag. Of course, him and his kids have been lifelong Golden State fans since 2015 as well.

I call bs on your claim of what you said to the bammer fan. Makes for a good internet story tho.

Well what if I just thought it so hard that it was just like I really said it. Worst part is that he’s on my side of the cabin and I seem to always run into him....usually at the buffet line where he’s knocking people over to get some extra nanner puddin

On our last Cruise out of New Orleans. On the boat wearing my orange gear I get a go vols. To which I replied, yes sir! Then I hear it. "Roll tide!" To which I responded "roll tide roll, around the bowl and down the hole! Go Vols!!" Followed by multiple laughs and a quiet bammer.

It was one of my finer moments.

Now this is gospel.
After I said Go Vols to my Alaska crimson turd 💩, I said and, oh yeah, and I’ll also throw in......
Pause.....
Wait for it ......
War Eagle!
His sister wife even laughed at that one as she snorted out some salmon and diet RC Cola onto her crimson overalls.

Absolutely. All these douchebag Alabama fans in Murfreesboro to were 100% rocking Florida gear circa 2008.

The demographics are interesting.
Guests are mostly Asian, Canadian or from upper Midwest. -a lot of Michigan and Ohio
Crew almost all from the Phillipines or Indonesia...I’m told that’s because they speak English and will work for slave wages.
You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a Fillipino band sing Elvis greatest hits. You ain’t nothin but a hound dog with an Asian accent had us all roaring. Lol.

What cruise line employs mostly Phillipine crew? I have been on 16 cruises and each had a crew heirarchy. Captain and officers = Brits or Italian. Cruise director and his staff= European or Aussies, staff = Canadian or US. Wait staff= mostly European, deck hands/ laborers= phillipine or Indonisian.

So, I’m on my first ever cruise ship thru Alaska.
Something I never really wanted to do but it was a gift.
Anyway, I’ve worn the occasional Vol T-shirt or cap.
Gotten a few Go Vols and met some current and former Tennesseans. Talked a little football.
Met some folks that live it Chattanooga but grew up in West Virginia, so they say this is the only game that they will pull against us. They got $250 a night hotel rooms in walking distance of stadium in Charlotte.
As always, there’s a few Bammers to deal with.
One told me “so I guess since you guys couldn’t beat us anymore you had to hire one of our coaches”.
I said “guess so, and hey, they’ve got a dentist on board since you’ve obviously never seen one, you might take advantage of that before taking your 500 pound lardass back to your oversized cabin and sister wife”.

He mumbled Role Tawd or something incoherent.
Best part of my trip so far. 👌

I’m going to be honest... I don’t believe you on this one.

So you belittle him about his weight, teeth and insinuate he's in an incestuous relationship? OP not sure if anyone has ever told you this, but you're kind of an a-hole...

One of my strangest experiences was going on a cruise 6 years ago in the Caribbean. It seemed like half the guys were wearing SEC warm-up suits (high-priced jackets, matching sweat pants, hats & shoes with their respective logos, etc.). We'd all be waiting in line for lunch or whatever and you'd see the LSU guy doing everything he could to avoid the Bama guy, etc. I only remember seeing only 1 UT guy there. Anyway, I just thought it was weird seeing all these grown, middle-aged men walking around in their get-ups. Fire away!

 

[reecetn]

If one were to take a cruise down Choccolocco Creek in a Jon Boat during race weekend at Talladega you would find lots of Gumps with their sister wives on honeymoon.

Here is a crazy story. My wife and I love to travel internationally. We have been to Germany, Austria, and France. Our latest trip we took brought us to the beaches of Normandy, France. I am a huge history buff so to see these beaches was a great honor. So on the day we decide to go out there it is pretty chilly with some wind coming off of the water and I put on my Vols shirt under my jacket. We are on the beaches and I do start to get hot so I unzip my jacket and as soon as I do I hear a guy holler at me "Go Vols!". Of course I gave him a Ric Flair "Whoo" back and we had a conversation about the upcoming season right there on the beach. After we left the beaches we went to the National Cemetery for the troops that died in the invasion and the battles that were fought afterwards. It was awe inspiring. We had to go through security to get in and I had to take off my jacket so this French security guard sees my shirt and Frenchie gives me a go vols as well. I was amazed that somebody in France knew who the vols were. Just goes to prove that we are the most broad fanbase in the entire world.

Bud, this was all just funning.
I would never say those things to someone.
We just talked a little about Pruitt and the guy said he’s a really good coach. I did say Go Vols and War Eagle and he and his lovely wife both smiled and simply said Roll Tide.
They were both average sized people.
There.....what was more fun....my made up original story (that was obviously made up) or the boring one that actually happened that everybody says to everyone.
Lighten up a little and enjoy a Bammer joke between Vols
We sure can’t enjoy the games right now.

Ps ...every time I run into the guy he nods and smiles.
So, no Bammers were damaged during the cruise.

I have only interacted with the wait staff. Almost entirely from the Philippines. A few from Indonesia and India.

In other words,you lied and were called out on it so now you’re backpedaling.

Here is the actual convo..

VFL2407: Can I pole you?

Gump: Starts drooling, Roll Tide

VFL2407: I like poling

Gump: I like poling my sister, Roll Tide

VFL2407: Did I mention poling?

Gump: Let's find a Krystal. Roll Tide

Gump: Go Warriors, I mean Roll Tide.

Cruise Staff: Sir, please put on a shirt and shoes in formal dining room

Gump: Uhh, Roll Tide

VFL2407: Can I pole the cruise staff?

Cruise Staff: Security...

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

When I'm overseas, the last thing I want to see are a bunch of Gringos.

Nope. Almost all of my posts are tongue in cheek spoofs.
Most know that and take nothing I say literally, as they shouldn’t.
But, this thread has now been condemned to The Pub, I see, so no need to check it any longer with so few people seeing it.
Dear Lord, please bring the season on.
I’m bored as hell
Go Vols!

Excellent work. BOMO
BUTT there is nothing On this cruise worth a good poleing.
Fortunately, it ends tomorrow.
Glad I saw Alaska. Very beautiful. But ready to go home.
I still prefer my Smokies. 👌

Holland America Lines employs mostly Indonesian and Filipino as cabin stewards and dining room staff.
Every cruise line employes those folks as sailors to maintain the ship.

If you really want to shut a bama fan up, just learn a bit of their "history".

1) roll tide is basically a hundred year old celebration of a tie. Go mediocrity

2) the elephant mascot is simply because they needed one when they traveled on a plane for first time ever, and some kid on the team thought the airline logo looked cool. Yes this is the best way to choose the representation of your state.

3) their band is the million dollar band. The name comes from an interview of the Georgia tech head coach after he had just destroyed the tide. When asked what he thought of Alabama he said, "well your football team ain't worth a dime, but you have a million dollar band."

You'll be amazed how few of these so called lifetime bama fans have any knowledge to the above.
