15991. Marc-Albert - 8/3/2005 3:03:42 AM If Nun's Island near Montreal had been included, as it should have been, it would probably rank No 1. But No 2 if we include Key West or Sanibel Island. 15992. wonkers2 - 8/3/2005 4:46:02 AM All rigtht smartass! Just leave the small countries out and adjust. 15993. Macnas - 8/3/2005 8:39:00 AM Pelle, as long as you can control your nordic tendancies and resist the tempation to rampage across the country, I'm sure I'll shant regret it at all.
Alistair, you've been moaning and groaning about coming to Ireland for years. Get off your arse and get a good bike, then cycle from Wicklow through Kerry, taking the mountains in. That'll soften your cough for you.
Are things this good, GDP wise, in Ireland? I can't recall feeling anymore flush of late, maybe I'm one of those factored out in the statistics. 15994. Ulgine Barrows - 8/4/2005 3:19:04 AM Ms. No, I forgot to mention how your rendition of the KROQ countdown thrilled my little heart. KROQ was my favorite station when I lived out there.
Huh, Green Day seems a little tame for #1.
My checkbook is bleeding and I'm having petty snips at my son about things he wants to choose in the market. Halfway healthy gets a yes. Anything fried, canned, or prepared is a flat no. Decent bread is freaking expensive.
The online bills are instant notice that I don't have enough to pay them. 15995. alistairconnor - 8/4/2005 8:41:05 AM so, Gine, what are you selling this week?
Not the furniture yet, I hope? 15996. RickNelson - 8/4/2005 1:58:57 PM Howdy Speed55tx.
Mago is fabulous. This is the easiest forum to post to, that I've found on the web. That is, it's user friendly. 15997. Ms. No - 8/4/2005 5:14:33 PM Hi Ulgine,
I'm glad you enjoyed the countdown. I was perfectly satisfied with Green Day in the #1 slot. I was expecting Nirvana, but I have to say I wouldn't have been all that happy about it. I know, I know, Nirvana is the greatest most influential rock band of the last 20 years blah blah blah. I'm tired of hearing about it. Nirvana's okay. Yes, I can see their influence, but Grunge was a movement, not a band and I prefer Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and the Stone Temple Pilots all over Nirvana. Hell, I like HOLE better than Nirvana.
Just goes to show you what senseless, scandalous death at a young age can do for your popularity.
Where the hell are you again? Or can I ask that? "Heartland" or "Midwest" or PNW is fine, I'm just trying to figure a vague approximation of time-zone/geography.
15998. Ms. No - 8/4/2005 5:14:51 PM Hi Speed! Welcome! 15999. speed55tx - 8/4/2005 7:00:29 PM Thanks for the kind welcome. Y'all. (I just had to say that) 16000. Ms. No - 8/4/2005 7:12:29 PM Sometimes it just has to be said.
and thanks for the Milennium! 16001. Ms. No - 8/4/2005 7:22:26 PM Ah, I haven't had one of those in ages! Usually they creep up and are gone before I even notice.
So, Speed, what part of Texas are you in? I spent a lot of my growing up years in Dallas and still go back to see family --- and other Moties that live there, too. 16002. arkymalarky - 8/5/2005 12:36:21 AM I spent a lot of my growing up years in Dallas and still go back to see family --- and other Moties that live there, too.
And one of these days when she does that, she's going to slip a little further eastward and see us, I hope! 16003. arkymalarky - 8/5/2005 12:37:23 AM Hell, I like HOLE better than Nirvana.
Haha! I love that. I wouldn't take it quite that far, but I agree with you about Nirvana--except Smells Like Teen Spirit. I love that one in spite of myself. 16004. Magoseph - 8/5/2005 12:45:19 PM Hey, thanks, Roberts, for the Mago is fabulous.—every and any compliment are welcome.
Today, the weather is ideal, unlike the last few days when I was very busy with Flexy and Butch, catering to their every whim, I mean. 16005. alistairConnor - 8/5/2005 3:45:16 PM Just enjoying a bit of afternoon sheer laziness. Just sitting around having late lunch, glass of wine, following the cricket on the internet, nobody else here, no particular plans to see anyone all weekend, heaps of stuff that needs doing and no particular inclination to do any of it... and no feelings of anguish or guilt about all this.
That's quite a welcome novelty. 16006. PelleNilsson - 8/5/2005 3:49:42 PM You're on to something there, alistair, something I have perfected though years of practice - masterful inactivity. 16007. alistairConnor - 8/5/2005 3:59:18 PM I just heard, quite by chance, a very dear friend on national radio (France Inter), talking about her new one-man show, "Christine" that she's premièring in Thonon les Bains today.
Here she is, performing on the Brooklyn bridge
 16008. Macnas - 8/5/2005 4:00:27 PM Indeed, the charm of being idle. 16009. arkymalarky - 8/5/2005 4:17:33 PM Alistair, you sound like something straight out of Wind in the Willows!
16010. alistairConnor - 8/5/2005 4:21:33 PM Ah yes, I'm being a Toad!
Thank you arky.
