Hah! Me drinking? I wish. By on the groud I just mean there is no rest for the wicked... Off to RAAF Amberley next week (which used to be one of the shuttles emergency landing sites!) So I won't be in range to hear the fireworks when the 15th rings in the end of collectible madness. I think there will be beer however, only they spell it XXXX up there. I'll see if I can post a cool pic ;) ;)
Hi Jane, I hope I find you as well as can be! And hiatus SCHMIATUS! I've been as busy as a hillbilly lookin' up a hog's [rear] for a ham sandwich... Lord, I really must take a similie class! Oh.. OH.. and you want misheard lyrics? Well let me tell you, I mishear things to this day. Let's take Will Smith's classic "Boom shake shake shake the room TWEET TWEET TWEET TWEET BOOM". And as recently as last week, I was listening to The Police's "Every breath you take" and heard "Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace. I dream at night, I can OWN ESTE HOMBRE". I wonder if these messages have a character lim
Oh... misheard lyrics? As a kid growing up surrounded by at least 3 mutually unintelligible languages, I have ... detailed files! Remember these? "I can't stand Lorraine, upon my window", or "I can see clearly now Lorraine has gone, I can see Old Octopus in my way". I think the Lorraine theme is a coincidence. Srsly.
I was going to say that it was dogging my old bones all night so don't hound me about it, but good taste got the better of me. Ahhh well... you do know that up until a couple of years ago we had 2 conservative politicians called Mr Abbott and Mr Costello, so the leathery humour should be of little surprise ;) I can never remember who was on first....
I think you get extra credit for your charitable work in ichc collectibles, and knowing that we don't have congressmen. But... do you have the language skills? 8) Well you can get guinea pigs here if that helps. Dogs are overwhelmingly popular here unfortunately, not that I dislike them - but the inconsiderate owners can only be compared to parents with small children who think the world owes them.
LOL. Don't look at me if you sold your soul. It was probably Democrats. Hamsters are not illegal here but only if you are doing medical research... :-/ We have other rodents here for those inclined to keep them as pests I mean pets. Forrin critters tend to go ballistic here so we're kinda edgy about letting some of them in but sometimes I think that "courtesy" could be extended to hicks and dumb people too!
Ahh thanks for the tip. I will improve my collectible time and motion statistics hopefully. You dont like my new pic? I was FAUST asleep when I uploaded it!! OMG I think that joke rates as a felony... my therapist will need to make a house call with one of those comfy white jackets. I am jealous that you are retired.... oh, the lollygagging and loitering must be heavenly ;) ;)
I was obliterated last night... fell asleep in the lounge with the Discovery channel on and slept in until 10:00am! Strangely, I woke up knowing how to build an oil rig, understanding the migratory patterns of Canada Geese, and a strange urge to blow up some guy called "Buster" at the old Alameda Naval Base! Aaaaanywayyy.... I sent some spares but got bored with watching the page refresh every time I sent something, so please just holler if you need more. Hope all is well otherwise, Jane - do you take a holiday over Easter?
Why thanks ... twas a pleasant day here. I trust the collectibles trade is keeping you entertained and away from dangerous gardening! You know I once knew a Texan chick who was practically stunned to find that we didn't have congressmen but that we did have movie theatres here. Then again, the word "ham" had 3 vowels in it when she said it. ;)
ahhh... so you are the one to get vinnie and joey to come around if the "rent" isn't paid? gotcha. that landlord owes you. oh, wait, you get a discount. yeah. ok... well everything seems in order then! I haven't rented for years but never had a bad experience... I suspect you'd need thick skin to manage a whole complex though. I have visions of an oklahoma trailer park, but I hope you only have to deal with city slickers.
ohhh a gardening helmet!Useful for when I am barefoot up a ladder using a chainsaw with one arm and swatting bees with t'other! We had a 6.1 quake up north yesterday... mind you, thats more desolate than nevada so we only know because some bloke and his dog phoned in that a tree fell over :/ the end is nigh, NIGH I tell you!
Heh.. always glad to help the collectibly challenged. I am an engineer/consultant working for stratsec/BAE systems... so its a visit to our US cousins on a project. Frequent travel just takes too much energy... my idea of a holiday has turned into gardening and watchin' the game, sinkin' a budweiser!
