Always nice to get gifts. Throw a barbecue for everyone.

Alas, we are all cast to the 4-winds now, so that's a bit hard... but you've given me another idea.

It's a bit wierd that I've known most of these people (except the children) a minimum of 15 years. Time sure flies. I met them all through my caving club and they've been my core group for all this time no matter where I've lived.

hmmm... is this a gift with a message?

You have a tendency to get lost?


Next time you get stuck down a pothole, you'll be really really glad to have that GPS, you'll know exactly where you are.

Actually... that's another reason I've never bought one. They're not a real replacement for a map and compass (which also don't need batteries).

I don't really get lost in the woods... my sense of direction is pretty well tuned due to work.


This thing is going to be cool on road trips for navigating though, because it can keep up with things like average speeds, ETA's etc.

It will also be good for bypassing traffic jams in unfamiliar areas. The maps in it are very detailed.

The dude obsessed with farts is weird.

Arky,

I am teaching this year. They gave me another class though, so I'm up to 5 preps now.

As for a pet pig, I don't think I could eat it after having loved it. I'm with Judith. What did you say to the person?

10895. tmesis - 8/17/2004 3:06:28 AM

What is Magoseph's native language? I first thought Mags was a male, native English speaker living abroad somewhere. I believe I was wrong on all counts.

Jenerator, farts are funny.

No, I was rather thinking of the odd and little known entity the Empire of Trebizond which emerged after the Crusaders sacked Constantinople in 1204 and survived until 1461.

That Trebizond should have been founded by Vikings is news to. I doubt that enough Vikings were present on the Black sea at any given time to found anything. But a share in the Viking glory is sought by many ...

Yes, tmesis, but we once had a poster here who excelled in vivid descriptions of his own flatulence so your feeble efforts leave us cold.

10898. robertjayb - 8/17/2004 3:48:51 AM

The old rustler...Is he posting anywhere these days?

10899. PelleNilsson - 8/17/2004 3:52:14 AM

Yes, in CalGal's place.

10900. Jenerator - 8/17/2004 4:59:30 AM

I miss Rustler Pike.

10901. Wombat - 8/17/2004 5:06:49 AM

His post-marital adventures were certainly something. What has become of my old pal Concerned?

10902. Magoseph - 8/17/2004 5:38:56 AM

tmesis, I am a naturalized French-born and raised woman. I am pleased that you post in the Mote, but as far as this thread is concerned, I have concluded that your posts regarding internal digestive affairs are more suitably displayed in the Inferno.

I have deleted posts 10884 and 10885.

There is a difference between being funny and being long-winded.

10904. Ms. No - 8/17/2004 5:59:26 AM

AC, you stinker.

10905. robertjayb - 8/17/2004 6:18:14 AM

Stop! Stop right now!

Hello Everyone. I feel like I'm coming out of a three-month depression after having moved. Started posting on our family site and then began grabbing a minute here and there at work to read the Mote a bit.

I have half a mind to jump in and start posting stuff. Unfortunately it's the half that can't spell and has trouble putting two sentences together sometimes.

But it's nice to see what ya'll have been up to lately.

10907. anomie - 8/17/2004 6:25:50 AM

I was wondering about concerned too.
