Keep A Close Watch on The Big Cheese

[Hastings]

Let us assume there is merit in the Albany news from Joceito and subsequent analysis by Comrade Stingray, the Master of Intelligence.

Place this against the backdrop of Ernesto's oft-repeated claim a BOR victory in Albany automatically leads to a DOG-Fight.

I do not believe Ernesto when he speaks like this.

But, for the sake of this thread, assume he sometimes speaks the truth.

If so, the DOG-Fight moved closer today.

Which means both sides have to start paying close attention to their respective DOG-Monsters.

BOR Dogzilla is off to the shed for surgery.

But what about the Big Cheese?

We now need another round of spy shots.

Could our Swiss members again swing into action?

Even a crowded parking lot would suggest the forces of darknesses are getting their cheeses in a row?

Or will they wait for the official verdict?

What do you think?

I am so keen to know what the hell is going in in Villeneuve that I have emailed several companies close by asking for fresh shots of the Decision and Alinghi facilities. Nobody will respond, lol, even the friendly Scuba Shop up the street.

I've watched head cams on sky divers, foot cams on paragliders, Red Bull Vertigo film, seen photos by hikers that overlook the town, feel like I've been there a thousand times. But the industrial area those facilities are in are not the scenic and photogenic parts of Villeneuve that most people capture. It's a beautiful town in a beautiful area, I encourage someone to stop by and click some of the manufacturing too

Anacortes is a special place in it's own way, they have nice marinas, good boat builders, excellent sailing waters, great scenery of islands and mountains too. But Villeneuve really is a gem. The industrial zone that probably houses AZ's monster parts includes a good variety of healthy businesses, many of them high-tech fabrication companies, it's as if owners in the trendier Montreux have their businesses located in Villeneuve (which means "new town" - despite it dating to back to a Roman settlement and probably beyond) and despite the slopes being mostly north-facing the vineyards produce well respected grapes. But even if it's not it's not Montreux or Vevey, it's still not cheap. There's a lot of money, rents and prices on apartments, houses and buildings are high.

I've been through Lugano a couple times but never over the Alps to the "Swiss Riviera" on Lake Leman. After reading about it I want to. Definitely a cool place and I expect we'll be learning a lot more about it soon.

For now,

Could our Swiss members again swing into action?

If Ernie knows Albany is set to rule for BOR, and there is no action in Villeneuve, it suggests there will be no DOG-Fight.

Deep down, does EB know the next AC is a multi-challenge show?

In the meantime, spy shots please!

Not necessarily - it just means he'll try to buy more time by suing for the CHR the following day. That will take six months, at least.

I've got the time to go over there if we can take a collection to get me there, and maybe some bail money just in case EB has some goons keeping guard over things..............

How much for a flight from your place (Tampa?) to Geneva?

Add the cost of a few trains and 4 nights in a backpackers and bob's your uncle.

Do you have a camera? And a map?

I'll have them before I leave........................

Maybe some funds from the SAAC account would cover it, since espionage is a part of any real AC challenge!

Expedia says anywhere from $1050 to $2500 for round trip, hotel, and economy car to Geneva from Tampa.

Wow - I bet it could be done for around $500 from Seattle at this time of the year. Expedia must be giving you the full-meal-deal..

As clean already proposed using challenge funds to sponser his key west trip, I'm sure the guys who sent in their money to support an SA entry into the AC would have no problem with sending you on a jolly to the land of toblerone to check on a boat that may never be splashed, as it's a pretty expensive place you had better get a good per diem deal done before you go.

What happened to the Ed getting around to giving us details on the sa challenge funding? ..too busy getting the trash and trinket deals done?

Speaking for myself, I want my little donation to stay Anarchy Challenge focussed for now. But if HHN can figure out something economical then I'll happily contribute a little to that good cause too. It would be a riot even if he can't find anything.

We might have to send Fuzz or WL from Seattle .....

They both know what is required

That was a first pass at it, just threw it in after you guys asked. I can research further if this is halfway serious.

I'm sure a NC/FL redneck going around asking these Swiss people where 'CheeseZilla' is would raise and eybrow or two................

"Hey feller, can you direct me to the CheeseZilla boat? What? No speaky Engy?"

I suck at reconnaissance.

No doubt Maguah has some lawyer friends heading over there (UBS), maybe a couple are sailors? Perhaps well versed in detective work and investigations?

well, there is a UBS office in our little town outside Tampa, maybe I should go ask them about 'CheeseZilla'?

Achtung Swiss Anarchists !

Borrow the camera from aunty and post some spy shots.

It is to expensive for us to relaunch Stingray's spy satellite.

kerrist Hastings, don't wet your pants on this ... yet ... ain't nothing to see overthere... yet

hey HHN , when you take the "and economy car to Geneva from Tampa." option, don't forget to go Google and let those funny people tell you where you have to drive off the dock in NY and where in London or so you'll surface (and add in another charge of those $$$$-lusting Swiss, from the moment you dare to cross their border they will charge you for the use of their highways, whether you use them or not is not even a concern to them... maybe evil Ernie has a deal with them huh ? :lol: )

 

[Hastings]

Hastings, ... ain't nothing to see over there... yet

Alright !

Could you elaborate please?

There is nothing to see !

Why?

Or why not?
