Arky, what's this howdy stuff? What's wrong with "Hi y'all?"

14004. arkymalarky - 3/7/2005 3:32:17 AM

I was feeling sorta Minnie Pearl today.

Plus, in the time it took to spell out Hi y'all, I'd have possibly missed the millennial.

Wimmens is always scheming something.

We like being mysterious.

Margie been around here lately?

I had the pleasure of speaking with two of her countrymen.."Sam" and "Ben", tech reps for SBC DSL....

At the end of my chat with "Ben" I told him how excellent their service was (sucked) and asked if they were Indian.

"Yes veee ahr Eeendeean"

"Well, I have no quarrel with you guys, such excellent service, but your company is another matter. They should let you use your real name"

"Oh..my name is 'Ben'"....

Yea right...pathetic..time to FREE MARGIE from her Bangalore Hell.

And while on my nativist tear...

Did you know that Sweden had a V-1 rocket operational in 1943...

"Wings of Sweden" - Military Channel.


Wonder where they got that one from?

And they've been at it ever since...

Why is the snow deeper on Monday mornings?

Because that's the day I get to take the kids to school. This time I got them both to their schools on time -- though I had to take the elder girl all the way to hers, we thorougly missed her bus.

There is one section of road that nobody seems to be responsible for ploughing, and because it's on a high ridge there is major wind drift. For several kilometres there is a narrow passage between walls of snow -- I quite enjoy it, especially if there's nobody in front so I can go fairly fast. Until there's someone coming the other way -- no space to pass, either someone has to back up or you just sort of scrunch up into the snow bank and inch past each other, hoping you won't stick fast.

Ali, I had a situation alike the other day and I backed up, intimidated by the big SUV that naturally waited for me to make the move. It is rather amazing for your area to have so much snow this year and I wonder why this is. I have to wait this morning to make an appointment with the dentist—I hope that I will not have to wait for a week or more. Hello, everyone, it was nice this morning to see that Neato and iiibbb posted this weekend in the other threads and that our beloved Jexster even posted in this one given that is a rare event.

Thank you, Won and Arky. Where is our friend Mac lately?

Sweden never had any V1 rockets of its own, jex. This was rocket science at the time, you know. Your source probably refers to (or is confused by) the V1:s that came down in south Sweden 1943-44. There was a V2, too, which we gave to the Brits for their perusal. They were also allowed to set up a monitoring station in Sweden.

Oh, hello, Pelle--I didn't see you in your corner brooding over your coffee--where were you lately, if may ask?

They showed film pelle...

I learned about the SAAB B17/18's..their innovative bomb sights then they showed the cruise missile...

Hey the dive bombers were Junkers.

Okay, let's get these margins back in order! (Mags asked me to do this!)

14021. judithathome - 3/8/2005 1:40:18 AM

Arky, we'll be coming to see you in the truck...better gas milage than my car...so let us know if you want a truckload of anything. ;-)

14022. arkymalarky - 3/8/2005 3:14:28 AM

Hahaha! Gee, let me think....

You may want to haul a truckload of jonquils back, though I don't know how they could possibly still be blooming--the blooms have been unreal this year. I should be taking pictures. But some varieties haven't come up yet, including the ones in front of our barn. I think it's really going to be gorgeous here that weekend, and I'm really looking forward to the festival since I've never been and I had such a great time with the kids at Old Washington this fall. We all had a blast. I'd been before, but I don't remember it being as much fun, though it's a really neat and interesting place.
