POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

But given the time of the month....
I'm not really too surprised!

H A P P Y ~ E A S T E R
T O . A L L !

Happy Easter everyone!

~~Hey Zeb, what will I do for lunacy now...you stole all my buttons

Sorry Miss S, gotta keep my rep as a Yankee intact

Ooops! Sorry Missy... I thought you were the OEM for those!

...I'll send them back to ya' (most of 'em didn't work anyway!)
~ There! How's that?

Zeb, whatcha mean they don't work????
Whenever I click one I end up lookin like this



NOT a pretty picture..Gonna stop clicking them

(I think that's a guy anyway )

Oh sure, that's what they all say

You really HAVE been busy not to even check your mail. Hmmmmm...Choo was going to start a poll (I think it was Choo??) about what you've been up to all this time. Might be interesting

Zebra is relatively new to our thread..no name change.

BTW, who's Roy?????

Sorry Susanne, I really didn't see it. The email account I have linked to eBay is one I only check now and again, so I didn't see it until I was able to sit down at my PC for a while. Nothing sinister or funny about why I have not been around (unfortunately), just sheer pressure of work. There's been some big things going on, and I have had to be involved a lot.

As for Roy, oooops, but I thought that was what we ended up deciding was Ninth's real name? Or is my memory playing up (not unusual) - I can't go back through 136 pages to check!

Wow, just look at all the tumbleweeds blowing thru' the ol' ghost town

Yep it's creepy alright...N O B O D Y around?? It was bound to happen sooner or later. I can't believe we lasted THIS long

And yes Pete, your mind is playing tricks on you
Not Roy, it starts with an 'S' (of course)

H'mmmm well I never knew that 'Roy' started with an 'S', the knowledge one can acquire here is staggering

For the last time...THERE IS NO ROY!

(kidding)...'least I don't think there is.

I seem to be turning into a lurker, gotta snap out of it

Well Ms Lurkeress if there was a Roy he must be feeling rather low and dejected now after that little outburst . . . .

Choo, are YOU feeling low and dejected???? You're not Roy by any chance are you?????

Nope

Wait! Wait! We demand a recount, there were hanging chad everywhere!

Honor America
Melbourne, FL

Ok now....WHO'S CHAD??????
And why are we hanging him?

Ooo that's bad, even for me

Fee, fie, fo, fum, I smell the blood of a newbie in this forum . . . .

Calm down Choo and leave them alone...Just because you're scared to pick on me doesn't mean you should pick on others. That's my job
Hee Hee

Now see there Ninth.... that's what I'm talking about. Poly-entendres are everywhere!

H_A is clearly proffering implication by reference to the issue of uncertainty attending the
ubiquitous Votomatic recorder...
but how many folks also catch the subtle ambiguity of meaning reflected with the use of
the participle "hanging" as a "dangling" modifier?

And since Choo so gracefully alluded to my own habit of "backside-talking" (pg.132)...
I'm at liberty to point out that only an 'Elite' Englishman might relate to a Giant sense of smell.
Isn't that right Jack?.... (or is it Blunderbore? )

Oh well... the drawing of distinctions when walking the razor's edge of Acute Scrutiny...
... is perhaps the daunting plight of all frenetic Zebras.

Not to worry H_A....
If no one has already done so... I will admonish you to maintain a strong and tenacious
sense of humor while traipsing in these parts. -- Welcome!
oh..and BtW... Semper Fi !!



Zeb

Good grief what sort of grass does our resident Zebra eat to exude such an oratory of incomprehensible verbal gymnastics

Ah, poor GodMother, feeling all alone, picking a fight with me over who should 'welcome' a new 'stranger' to these parts.

Good grief indeed Choo!!

Choo...
I see it's a little breezy out your way this afternoon. A bit chilly too! -- Watcha' think? Oxford gonna' pull it off in the 154th Boat Race this year?

Also, with respect to "incomprehensible" verbal oratory....
I suppose there's just no accounting for one's taste in words.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7320452.stm

Boat race, no idea, forgot it was anytime soon, never cared.

As for taste in words from your link above I quote :-

"George Bush gives me a taste similar to the crusty potato bit on top of a cottage pie."

The guy did not say whether that was a compliment or not I love cottage or otherwise known as shepard's pie, personally I would replace "the crusty .. " with "lemon"

quote:

personally I would replace "the crusty .. " with "lemon"

No doubt your choice of terms is widely understood. In this case however, I believe there's little risk to even an English Gentleman's reputation for including the term "crusty". My basis for this conclusion comes from observing numerous disgusting crusty phenomena continuously reappearing in our back yard. We assume the baking sun has something to do with it.

I too am quite fond of Shepherd's Pie. My two canine pets are also enthusiastic fans as well... but that's not so surprising for German Shepherds. They seem to enjoy presenting us with their 'gifts' on a regular basis...usually in the back yard.

Again.. it must be the hot sun...I've never seen George wear a hat.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHA
Verbal Gymnastics?????????
You guys are TOO funny!
Z, I went to college but I have NO idea what you said Must be Choo's senility creeping up on me

Knock it off Choo

Well Hi there Missy! Wow..you were up late last night! Don't you work on the weekends?

I was just basically telling Choo that I wasn't very impressed with Bush either. About as much as when my dogs leave their piles out in the back yard. Perhaps I shouldn't have included the part about the hot sun.

It's just that I have a little trouble with the idea of somewhere between $12 to $13 Billion per month (yes..PER MONTH) .. being spent to bring thousands of our boys back home in body-bags. I don't mean to whine unnecessarily. Maybe I'm just being a wimp. However, my closest (Marine, Air Force, and Military Intelligence) buddies seem to feel about the same. We've all collected college degrees as well...but those weren't necessary for recognizing poor judgment and the huge mistakes we believe have been made.

Sorry...I'll try to do better and stay on-topic here (whatever that is).

Hey all! Just popping in to say HOWDY! Finally got a day off with a bit of free time. I hadn't checked the thread since the 18th! Wow I was going through withdrawal I think????
I sure missed my daily serving of lunacy. Thanks fer da button Miss M. Of course Zeb had to turn it upside and just make it TOTAL craziness.
Well I am off to enjoy a bit of Q.T. with the GF.
Off ter da mall we go! Batten down da hatches and full speed ahead. Look out credit cards your gonna get a hurtin today

And there he was, gone again !

Can't take the credit for that, you're way ahead of me

Well it's one beautiful day out there for us today! Just now came back in from working outdoors for awhile. Had to get outside and try to mellow-out a bit from this morning's gritty start. Please excuse the rant. Not many things get me wound-up very easily...but there are a few.

Yes by golly...there he was Choo! Zing-Zang!...and gone again! Good to see ya' popping-in (albeit briefly!) Taz !!

I'm headed outta' here for the moment also. There's still a couple hours daylight left..and plenty of spring-prep chores waiting for me over in the boat shed. I've never understood how watercraft can require so damned much maintenance for such relatively few hours of utilization! Autos and trucks aren't nearly such a pita for all the usage they're put to. I'm sure there's a conspiracy at work behind it somewhere!

Cheers to all!
~Zeb

Rant, can't blame you at all on that very sore issue, feel the same about our political leaders action over all that.

Watercraft ... it's nature's way of saying keep off, I'd go along with that, I don't mix well with water

quote:

BWAAAAHAHAHAHA

ooooooooh! That's downright spooky Missy!!

hope that's not something you learned in college.

..makes me nervous to imagine you getting ready to throw out another eye-splitting graphic of some mind-boggling kind or another.

quote:

... it's nature's way of saying keep off

That just might be Choo. Certainly an interesting thought.

But I'm not so sure. If that were really the case...then I would think water would simply resist anything attempting to tread upon it. As it turns out, every time I've ever tried to walk on water, I've always been quite welcome to "come-on-in!". Invariably I've very nearly drowned in the attempt.

That's the limit of my swimming skills, straight down

Well if you do sink permanently you won't do it again in a hurry because the water consumes you.

The result on watercraft is the same but by corrosion and rot, resulting in sink and consume once more.

There's a link there

G'morning all (our 'all' is very small now)
I see I didn't miss much.....
Choo how can you not like the water??? I LOVE the water. I'm counting the days til it's warm enough to go swimming again. Don't like boats tho, wonder why that is?? Any ideas Z?

Wasn't there a movie about a monster that if you got him wet something terrible would happen?

Gremlins?

EDIT - almost forgot, HI TAZ!! Come back...we thought you forgot about us Wow you & GF have been together for awhile now

quote:

Really can't say...unless perhaps you had a previous unpleasant experience? (like getting seasick ). That might explain it!

quote:

Yeah Missy...I vaguely recall there was some kind of movie like that. I think it was about some gal on a road trip or something. Kinda' strange as I remember...cuz it also had a tornado, a funky little dog, and a wizard. The monster had a rather bad attitude... and was from the East I believe.

quote:

Choo how can you not like the water???

Well, I was always nervous of it, finally took the plunge at school, second lesson felt like I nearly drowned after finally get the courage up to pushing my self off the edge of the pool and got tangled up with an underwater swimmer. Frightened the life out of me and pool water tasted foul. Went back again the next week but I just froze in the water. Taken me years to get into a boat let alone into the water again.

Smallest boat I can get into is a river bus, not row or speedboats too small (too low in the water) as yet, swimming pools went near one a fews years ago where our lad was swimming just couldn't go through the doors to the pool, sad, silly, but maybe one day possibly I will get back in again

edit - yes 'Gremlins'

Yeah yeah, very funny Zebra I forgot about the wicked witch, I was thinking of Gremlins, but that was not feeding them after midnight (or something like that)

Well in about a month I guess I'm gonna be around ALOT...found out today they're closing down the hospital where I work (not a complete surprise)

http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/stories/2008/03/31/d...51.html?ana=from_rss

So I guess while I'm sending resumes' and collecting unemployment, I'll have plenty of time for swimming. Amd Auctiva Boards. Guess I'll have to amp up my Ebay sales too.

Pretty depressing tho...I really loved that place

I will be taking donations to keep myself out of the gutter
I'm afraid I'll run into Choo..
