At my age my heart aint so good and when I see them girls running around in their wet shorts and wet tops and wet hair, well it just does my heart good and gets it pumping real fast, even faster than the drum, but not just as loud, and I can feel the blood going to places it has not gone for some time. Keep it up girlies and I will try to aswell, the support that is.

Well, you all have done it now. We were eating in one of the seaview restaurants tonight after dark and on the horizon we saw a dragonboat with its tiny lights coming into the harbor, I am certain, from another part of the South China Sea. In utter silence. No boom, boom, boom. No big tamasha. No shouting, shouting. No intricate rhythms on the drum. Like so many faceless seagoers paddling on a quiet communal rowing machine. I hope you are happy now.

Yes, the word has carried.
No doubt they were rowing in silence for atonement and have seen the errors of their ways. Perhaps the coxswain was chanting prayer for their redemption as in the true spirit of the lord they became as one, heads bowed in reverent supplication to the almighty. Yes, undoubtedly from the sth China seas, yet more dramatically, they have rowed out of the hopelessness of the belly of the whale into enlightenment. Hallelujah!!
No longer, the blood rushing to the private parts of unguarded innocent gentlemen or the morn's guilt ridden hasty washing of soiled bedclothes.
Now, all like nkrarraker can eat their stir fried noodles in Christian fellowship

Amen

That was a most entertaining sermon, Mr. tjungarayi!
If church sermons would ever have been this entertaining I might still be attending church nowadays... or at least listen in to the webcast...

The Lamma Ladies captain wrote that they "promise to deliver a devastatingly apologetic response." to your sermons soon, once they manage to pick themselves up from the floor laughing their (perfect) asses off, I'd guess...

Ah my children!
I hope that these ladies have seen the errors of their ways. Perhaps I shall some day see them attend confession.

Reply from the captain of the Lamma Ladies, in their blog and in the Lamma-zine today:

Some nine or ten days have gone by since the Lamma Ladies were chastised for their vulgar ways in the public Lamma.com.hk forum. [Apr 19: 'Enticing lustful, opiatic-like, sodden dreams on warm, balmy nights']

Since then, there has been some confusion over the activities of the Lamma Ladies, as we have been away racing (as we are wont to do), and Lamma-Ladies-spotters have mistaken the fishermen's night training for the usual riotous Pink Ladies. Nkarraker mourned what she believed was a silent Lamma ladies crew:

Well, you all have done it now. We were eating in one of the seaview restaurants tonight after dark and on the horizon we saw a dragonboat with its tiny lights coming into the harbor, I am certain, from another part of the South China Sea. In utter silence. No boom, boom, boom. No big tamasha. No shouting, shouting. No intricate rhythms on the drum. Like so many faceless seagoers paddling on a quiet communal rowing machine. I hope you are happy now.

We would hasten to assure Nkarraker that nothing shuts the Lamma Ladies up.

Those were, in fact, the Lamma Fishermen, who - we are delighted to say - won a spectacular traditional fishermen's race in Cheung Chau on Sunday, April 29th! Those fishermen's boats are FAST! So the Yung Shue Wan, Lamma North Fishermen were superfast! And victorious. And fantastic. And did we mention that they are the greatest?

Back to the Lamma Ladies:

We are pleased to announce that the Beast Master (known to laymen as the "drummer"), has taken on a new nick-name: Big Tamasha. She seems to like it.

...

In any case, we are very happy to say that our second-place medals [Editor: in Shatin and Cheung Chau the last two weekends] give us greater incentive to make Big Tamashas in the harbour, scream louder, and paddler harder!
