Aussie... that WAS the whistle.

For those not "in the know"... this thread is now officially old.

Aussie! I was just thinkin about you.

Specifically, I was thinking about you complaining about the cold, but glad the shortest day had passed, and I realized its not light at 5am (4am sun time) anymore....

so I've been thinking...

PANIC! WINTER'S COMING! I'M NOT READY!

90 degrees plus predicted today, though.

Hi.

Grassyass a Maetenloch pero oon post mooey grandy.

Been brushing up on my Latin, because of all the Latin American guests.

Those names in the top ten sock list... they seem so... familiar...!

Oh no... ellipses running... out of control... must be... Shatner's Syndrome...!

Good... night... Gracies...

Cheese grits substituting quinoa for corn circumvents the Suthrun Sola Grits doctrine.

Like turkey "bacon" for those who can't eat pork....

S. Muldoon > I had a small case of the measle.

A measley, eh?

rickl > I just discovered that recently myself.

Oh, good. If I was stupid, I wasn't alone.

It's testimony to Panz's prodigious output being prominently impersonal statements, contributing to quality content.

Unlike those of us who sit here making phart jokes.

The first comedy club:

Thog on stage: *ffffrrrrrrttttt*

Audience bangs rocks on tables with wild, hoarse laughter

Thog: Thank you. Thank you. Thog be here all night. Tip waitress. Try baby Mastodon.

Since the days of BBSs and CompuServe, I have tried to maintain a liberal idea of the gender of text people if it's not evident. Measuring people by their character, not their gender, to rephrase MLK. And don't ask, because it won't matter, they could be lying.

Actually, though, our identity is part of our character. It really does make a difference, not about the points we make, but in getting to know one another, when reading, to know if someone is Catholic or Jewish, a blacque from Afrique or an Ango-Germanic boy from Okiehoma, and there's no character-shaping difference like Male and Female.

So while I try not to make presumptions, one has background operative assumptions, anyway. Which can be brought suddenly to the fore like this:

"...my due date arrived..." -panzernashorn

My picture of Panz just totally morphed.

Going slow here. Must be time to feed the herd. AFK

Country Tales

Two nights ago, I was following Milady home. There was a car between us. I see Milady slow, stop, pull over to the side. Other car speeds around her, then she pulls back out and goes on. When we got home, I found out what I didn't see. Milady says, "You know, deer look a lot bigger when they're right in front of you on the road!"

Respect the large mammals! Also, pro tip, don't pass a stopped car at night 'til you see why they're stopping!

Last night. First there was a doe right by the side of the road!. Just a few feet further on, as we approach a small bridge, an owl swoops down from high to our left, angling downward over the bridge, down into the gulley on our right. Figure he's using car lights to spot game. Cool, but we didn't get that great a look at him.

About a mile further on, creeping through that sometimes flooded stretch we call the bottomland, a major critter crossing, we see another owl. He zooms in from the right, lands on the road in the opposite lane, then takes off again, back across our lane, missing our windshield by, oh, a good ten feet or so. We got a magnificent look at him!

"I find that if I start by cutting up some with bacon... I can't really go wrong afterwards."

New fresh morning post. You dont have to leave, but you''ll have to clean up if you stay.

While JJS was waving his arms here, I was doing the same at the end of the ONT.

Somebody lost the corgi whistle.

At first I thought, look at all the comments. Is Vic unleashed?

Then I saw it was just a lonely, desperate Sefton grabbing comment slots like MO at an all you can eat ribs dinner.

NDH to the rescue again!

Morning, Glories!

Remember back when the worst we had to worry about was mutually assured nuclear destruction with the commies? Good ol' days...

GMB, the nose landing gear would not lower.

Wait, I smell rocket fuel. Rickl, that you?

@@@ BANGS SAUCEPAN WITH SPOON @@@

HALLOOOOO? ANYBODY HOME?

JUST ME! FRIENDLY! NOT MILITARIZED THUG SWAT TEAM!

You thank the good lord you got #666? um.. Which lord, now.

I took my time getting here this morning. Thought sure I'd be playing catchup on the day thread.

NDH not here to bail us out this morning?

Hi.

I found the kitty!

Thx, CDR M.

I got all confused and read the post instead of the comments. Now they're dragging me back to my cell.

Good night, Gracies.
