Joyce & Jim;

You have definitely been exposed!!!! You two are definitely "comedians" and not "health care" devotees!!!!

Too funny...."Lion hunting can be so monotonous"!

Sounds like a plan. Give me a holler a few days before.

Looks like you guys had a great safari Jim! Also watched your interview with Andrew after the lion hunt and was cracking up at all the beer cans strewn about below your feet! Sounds like you guys had an absolutely hilarious safari in addition to an extremely successfully one!

Cheater!! You must have found that on the You Tube site. I wasn't going to link it here until after the Lion story is written. I'm still working my way through the other events on the hunt report.

That "interview" was a well laid ambush by the Madam. Andrew and I started drinking quite early that morning. After walking side by side on a Lion follow up a little adult beverage was in order.

Joyce waited until we were perfectly "altered", not so much as to look overly drunk but certainly tipsy. She put those two chairs in place and encouraged us to talk about the hunt. The beer cans I can't remember how they all got there. I think she planted them.

I LOVE that interview. There was no script, no rehersal, it wasn't staged.

She ambushed us.

I love the beginning with me imitating the Lion call and Andrew saying "No it was more like...." Then me disagreeing and finally he says, "You would know better than I".

Man I laughed!!

On the lion hunt celebration video, I kept expecting ya'll to break into the long version of "Layla" as long as that went on.
I'm still laughing!

Good humor, what fun this whole safari was! As well as hugely successful in all respects. Happy days, this is what it's all about. I am working through your clips and report Jim, but I must say I think Medem Joyce's report is better... Only joking, all highly entertaining. The post lion slaying interview is a hoot!

Long grass there Jim, did you have to use a ladder at any stage?

Trying to turn this thread into a 6 page argument eh? The Sitatunga Machan didn't even have a ladder when we first went to it hunting Bush Pig. They added one after they saw our lack of climbing skill

Whoops! Didn't mean to spoil the surprise! And I also cracked up when you and Andrew were making the lion noises and he said "You would know better than I". Brilliant and even better that it wasn't staged (you could tell it wasn't by your reactions).

I actually got a message from someone wanting to know if Joyce shot that Dove using a mirror.

That would be a negative!!

It's called a joke.

You were part of the Safari by default. I saved and took The Shangaan Song with me and had to limit myself to only one chapter at a time so the book would last.

You are an exceptional story teller with many stories to offer.

If anyone hasn't read David's book you need to do yourself a favor and get a copy. I wish now that I bought it in hardback.

Cheers

Personally I liked Andrew's cliff note version of the morning...... "We had a cup of coffee & toast, shot a Lion, back for a cup of coffee & toast, and 46 beers".
