POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

Pete - Of course we're flirting, but we are online you know, a certain level of decorum and restraint seems in order - 10,000+ views, not exactly a chat room. You just missed Susanne, and she does ask about you.

"We could go to something like Taz's "parting is such sweet sorrow""
Ok I'm dumb again, don't get it.

Being silly. He said that when he was leaving the other day.

August and October... best times to visit Reno, yes?

August is best because of 'Hot August Nights' - 10 days of 50's and 60's R&R and custom cars to the max. Mucho fun and things to do.

Are you leaving? NOOOO.

Noooo, not leaving.

Love looking at cars! You dress 50s for it too? Yeh, what fun!

Good!

Some people do, they really get into it with sock hops and things, a lot of live music with local bands doing 50's stuff, dancing in the streets, car shows all over town (very cool). Thousands of fans pouring into town, food, drink, casinos 24/7, it CAN be fun!

Skip the casinos? Is that alright? Not my cup o' tea. Do you like to dance? What's your favorite?

edit- Actually, I know part of the second ??. It's in my head now... really, it's on the headset.
Is it alright to skip the casinos? Or is it a favorite for you?

More than alright. I rarely go to the casinos, and never to gamble, only to go to the restaurants now and then - great places to eat but can get expensive. I do like to dance but have been out of the club scene long enough to not have a favorite, just rock, no mosh pits thank you, never liked them, even back in the 80's in San Francisco, when punk started in North Beach, I thought mosh pits were weird . Don't dance quite as hot as I 'think' I used to. Oh well oh well, not 20 any more.

edit - "Actually, I know part of the second ??". No, 50's is not my favorite (if that's what you mean). I think I could definitely get caught up though.

edit/edit - "It's in my head now... really, it's on the headset." You keep editing, I'm falling behind!

Great!

I don't even remember the last time I danced and used to love to. My favorite is something like that same song. Can't believe I didn't know what's a mosh pit. Never heard of it till Taz talked about it. Ninth, we're old enough to have earned not being Spring chickens any more.

edit- No, that's not what I mean...

HOT
Not behind at all!

edit- You know GMTA
*sigh*

Mosh pits started with punk rock back in the early 80's. I mean dudes jumping up on the stage and hurling themselves in to a crowd of zonked out freaks literally smashing into each other. Fun huh? That's when R&R started to get weird for me and I no longer could relate to a lot of it. Punk rock was just the start.

You're right, my 16 year old daughter (started late) calls me a geezer. I keep having to keep her straight on that one, at the same time I like to play along, but she knows I'm not(I hope).

Ok, what's a 'punk'? and what's on the headset? Help me out here. I must be slow.

I'm sure she knows you're not. If I know it, she's got to.

The thingies you light firecrackers with are punks... Berlin Take my breath away... Snow Patrol Chasing cars... songs to dance to.
No, you're not. I'm just not talking enough. (edit- rare occasion on that one. lol)

Good that makes three of us, because I definitely know it too, not a question in my mind.

I know about those kind of punks. and I kind of thought you meant Berlin (GMTA) but wasn't sure. When you hear that song do you really think of dancing? Not me.

Best you don't talk enough. We don't need to spell everything out. Miss M's going to whack us pretty hard as it is.

HOT yeh GMTA... Now what do you think? Both?

Yeh, she's gonna get us good. She'll think we deserve it but we don't.

edit- My daughters always talked about my youth as 'back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth'. They still do, just not as often since they're older themselves (25 & 29).

Go back and watch that 'Top Gun' scene again. ol Tom and Kelly weren't exactly dancing (in the literal sense anyway.)

Of course we don't deserve it, but we just don't get any appreciation for our subtlety and restraint. Rodney Dangerfield used to say 'I just can't get no respect! (I'm going to have to find some new smiley faces, they don't give us enough choices.)

edit - they'll get theirs someday, from their own kids

edit/edit - Actually dancing sounds very hot, now that you've managed to implant that in my wee little brain.

Oh I know they weren't, yet they were...

What do you mean, we don't deserve it? I do wish we had more choices for smileys. I need to put the links in a notepad though for like last Thursday and wanted that rotflmao one so bad. lol

The oldest is already realizing this. And she can't believe 30's right around the corner either. Youngest doesn't have kids except her li'l furbaby.

Yes, it does, doesn't it.

...and so are we.

Well ok, we do deserve it. Miss M, its just going to turn to steam the second it hits us.

...tingles

Of course we don't deserve it, but we just don't get any appreciation for our subtlety and restraint.

That's what we deserve. We're being pretty darn good, aren't we?

Time to switch places...

Ok, yes we deserve it from Miss M too. Or we could go out in the rain and save Miss M the trouble.

Mmmmm....

OMG, do you think we've entertained everyone enough for one evening? I think I hear those dreams of cookies a'callin me, what a sugar rush.

edit - you're right, she's probably getting tired of whackin us, maybe we should spare her

Never enough...

I suppose rest is a must. See ya in the cookie dreams.

indeed...

Yes, you will.

Good afternoon (UK) 'morning (US), how on earth do you two keep going so late through the night

Good morning Choo, perpetual motion so to speak, pure vibrational energy.

So if I keep replying to you for the next 12 hours you will stay awake then

Love too Choo, but slightly overstated, my clock needs a little rewinding. Check out the views - some kind of record? Who'd a thought?" Also check out TAZ, that dirty old man. (He better get his running shoes on.)

Have a great day. Time for a rest.

That's up to Taz, some say "you're as old as the girl you feel" (at which point I will duck when the girls come on line again, but remember girls you can replace girl with boy if you wish perhaps that's worse, ok I had better keep a low profile for a while)

Personally I think that when you both get older it is best you both disintegrate at the same time and rate as you can understand each others biodegrading predicament

Let the viewers judge, not me, Taz must have a lot of energy bit like his avatar.

Good morning,afternoon,night Ninth

edit - with view ratings like this thread has there may be a Tv soap opera contract in the offing !

A soap opera you say! Only if it is a nighttime soap and they can somehow get Tom Cruise to play me and Katie Holmes to play Nicole. I will accept nothing less, I at least have to have someone that slightly resembles me to play me even if he is a bit shorter than I.

I don't think his ego is big enough for the part, and does Nicole know about this thread assuming that is not just an alias to protect the innocent

Ok, a late night adult drama soap

You may be right Choo. Will have to rethink that part and sacrifice my integrity and play myself. Hey It could be a reality show like "My Fair Brady"
Well I am off to the dentist

Grrr, don't mention reality TV, hate it

An excuse for cheaply made programs, populated by big egotostical no brainers gabbing away about anything that will get the ratings up without being sued, e.g. Big Brother.

And far worse Celebrity Big Brother the master class of no brainer yap.

You and the rest of us aren't that bad, surely not, any viewer want to comment

Good luck at the dentist, like the visits worse than reality Tv despite having an excellent dentist.

I'll pop in again later

what the crap is this 68 page thread about? Someone had too much time on his/her hands!

Hi, well to find out what all this carp is about I suggest for homework you read pages 1 to 10 and follow it up with research on the "snow fairy" and 1001 things to do with a hose.

A quick review of the last 10 pages and away you go barmy as us, if you are from the USA, "Have a nice day, missing you already" or from the UK, "ta-ta for now" or anywhere else "bye" as I got plenty work to do, believe it or not

edit - Just noticed USA country don't show up on the e-mail notification, early start unlucky you

'Morning to everyone..

Ok. Shadeaux & Ninth,
I GIVE UP *sigh* What am I gonna do with you two! All the edits (and I'm sure deletes) I can't even figure out what you're talking about...except for cookies of course

Hi kbalona!
Glad you stopped by! This thread definitely went farther than anyone ever thought and has gotten crazier every day. Sure you will fit right in Pls post more often

Taz,
I feel so bad for you...the dentist is a fate worse than death (shudder). My teeth are perfect now, had them all capped years ago so they're super low maintenence...don't need no stinkin dentist (You all know I don't like needles)

Pete & Choo, where you guys been?? Especially Pete...been ignoring us huh? Shame on you!!

Oh man it's 63 here today in Chicago in January--we're really gonna be in for it now!

No Susanne, I'd never ignore you (I'm sure you know that ) - just been a bit busy. Anyway, it's quality, not quantity that counts (that's what i keep telling my OH anyway!)

Hi Kbalona, how you been?

Hi Pete,

I know what ya mean 'bout being busy...When all this started I was on vacation from work (but snowed in for a few days) and apparently Taz was off too. So it's a little harder to post lately but I still keep trying

Next month I'll be REALLY busy getting hundreds of auctions ready to start ... not looking forward to that, hate taking the pictures! I shoild peobably start now & do a little at a time, but that's not my way

~I really can't spell this morning

I really can't spell this morning

Yes you can, you just did:

t h i s m o r n i n g

see? Simple! sorry

OK, I'm outta here folks, got food to eat, beer to drink, and women to please (well, one woman anyway!)

Catch y'all later

Hello all just got caught up on the shenanigans of last night. Ninth and Miss with all these edits this thread is getting more confusing than ever!.Dentist trip was awful 6 teeth pulled!
Pete great to see you back again.
Thanks for asking on the date situation I had a very good date and a better evening Saturday. Victoria's Secret is always good.
This post has burgeoned so much I cannot believe it! Should hit 1400 posts by tomorrow at the latest and will easily hit 11,000 hits.
Gee I recall not long ago we were wondering when the 1,000th hit would register.
Do have to agree with you Ninth the mosh pit can be rather senseless but when I braved the pit I was a bit out of my senses anyway. These things will happen when you drink a half pint of rum mixed with a 20 OZ Pepsi before going into the show.
Well I am going to try to get a bit of rest before my face starts throbbing again.

Where have I been ?, practically nothing in my intray to start the day with, virtually on my tod handing out home work for Kbalona to catch up on all this carp. The cheek of the fellow/gal.

I take it Kbalona is a well known mischief maker like yourselves Pete and Ms M

edit - oh well looks like another quiet night again, I'm off to snooze ....
