I'm an avid, but relatively quiet semi-lurker here.

Now I have two questions. What ever happened to NYCRR1 on this thread?

And should I be concerned that everything said so far on this thread makes perfect sense to me?

Based on the information, you have given us, it is quite
obvious that you are a normal Yankee and therefore are
not to be concerned. As far as " what's his name ", I do
not know, and certainly do not care.

Thanks for the re-assurance! Actually, I'm originally from Texas (got out before the guards made their 3rd rounds). The reason I understand what's being said here is that my 2nd cousin, twice removed on my mother's side of the family once saw Fats Domino dressed up as Santa at a department store in Baton Rouge where a Lionel train was being demonstrated (see? relevancy!) He was reciting "The Night Before Christmas on Blueberry Hill".

.....and a very touching moment, it was, for sure.

On the eight day of christmass little chiefie went out,
and went just back in, want het was koud.. (haha, means because it was cold in dutch, but it made a rhyme..)

This thread is getting an award from the ministery of silly walks, because it's wandering anywhere except any direction particular.
May be we get a bit of money from the ministery to deepen out this silly thread..
Whay not have a chat with the french?

S: You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a
silly person! Ah blow my nose at you, so-called "Arthur Keeeng"! You and
all your silly English Knnnnnnnn-ighuts!!!

A: (getting mad) Now look here, my good ma--
S: Ah don' wanna talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food-trough
wiper! Ah fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster, and
your father smelt of elderberries!

I can't begin to tell you how much I dislike synthetic midi files, talk about cruel and unusual punishment. Those should be played in Guantanamo Bay 24/7. I'm going to have to turn on the stereo with the original Fat man to get that sound out of my head[:)]

Wow - spent the day helping some friends move into their new house. We told them that building a new house would help with their fertility problem - they have had several miscarriages. Voila - she's pregnant and on bedrest so she won't lose the baby. She's at 14 weeks - 11 more and the baby will be okay - they could keep it alive if they have to do so. They closed on the house yesterday. There were 4 of us with trucks and an SUV and we made 2 full trips - still didn't get everything! Guess I'll have to go back again tomorrow and make a couple more trips. Luckily, I was off for Veterans Day.

To all you Veterans - Thanks!

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Heard on the radio someone, probably one of the pablim puking tree huggers want to sue the US for putting "In God we trust" on money. Bet if you gave him some money with "in God we trust", he wouldn't turn it down.

Am I the only person who doesn't watch today's sitcoms and reality shows?

I watched some Bonanza reruns the other night.

I must be getting old; living in the past. A relic. A dinosaur.

Discovery Ch.=fun shows not found elsewhere
Travel Ch.= Enjoying all the places I'll never be able to go to
Cooking Ch.=I love to cook, I've done all the cooking for 30 years except at Christmas
IPT=This Old House, Home Time and THE RED GREEN SHOW[:)]

Well, to be frank, the reason I wasn't on the usual menu of Paula Zahn's nip tuck (or whatever) and travel ch train shows and American Chopper, is b/c a mighty wind came up a week ago, blowing down my satellite dish.

I get home in the dark every night and haven't had a chance to resurrect it so I'm using rabbit ears fashioned from wires on a very ancient TV, which only gets 2 or 3 channels; Bonanza fortunately.

Excellent American Chopper last night, showed the life history of the Teutell's. Kind of nice not to hear all the yelling.

I do need to stop watching Miami Ink................ they never show anyone with a Big Boy on their biceps[:D]

Not a relic, David. I watch only sports - usually with the sound off - and some of the Disc. channel shows like Amer Chopper and Monster Garage. We only get the most basic of basic cable - for nearly $20 / month too - up another $2 bucks this month.
