So There I Was

 So there I was on our dive boat with my two workmates nicknamed Chewbaka and E.T.
Chewbaka was named after the wookie in star wars, after a few beer he's simply the Wookie.
I think it would be a great comic book; super girl meets the Sasquatch The creation of super wookie.
Although T has a quite a few nicknames it was I who named him E.T.  One day we were sitting on the boat sunbathing I mean working. I was looking down at my feet and for some reason out came, "Man, I have ugly feet",  him being a good friend responded with "there not so bad check out mine."  Mistakenly, I looked then stared I was staring at toe's that looked like mini E.T's, right there I started cracking up "I am never talking about my feet again", I giggled. His face went red and shouted at least I'm not a hobbit.  "True", I said. "Hey, E.T. Go Home.  After that the crew became the wookie, E.T. and the Hobbit, sitcom I think so.

  So there we were at work on the work boat at least.  We were sitting in the straight.  Yes, we were getting paid.  No, I don't remember which straight we were in;  Oh yeah it's coming back to me. Do you know that straight, the one with water going through two pieces of land, that is covered in trees, mountains in the distance, whirlpools everywhere, waves crashing, logs floating, salmon swimming, dolphins surfing, killer whales eating, sea lions on the rocks, bears on the beach and eagles in the trees.  Do you know that straight?  No, well that one.

  There we were with our long lines out beer in hand fishing for halibut.  Well, I had a beer in hand and a video camera in the other. They were fishing I was taping.  That day was a little different for us.  Apparently we had lost a bet. I didn't even know we had a bet going, except at the gas dock we were handed four dresses and were told that we lost the bet.  So, there we were fishing in dresses.

The wookie as captain got first pick; he chose the nice lime green one.  ET grabbed the neon orange one, and yes that left me in the oh so pretty hot pink one.  The fourth dress the violet one was raised as our flag.

  So there I was video taping the whirlpools, the waves, the logs, the dolphins eating the salmon, the killer whales playing with a seal, the sea lions baking from the rock, the scavenger bear on the beach , the eagles swooping and my two friends looking oh so pretty fishing in dresses.  
Do you know that straight the one
