It would be like taking water to the sea.
I think the child's technique might be useful: "But where does that come from?"
Keep asking until they stop talking to you.
Hi everyone. I successfully defended my dissertation proposal this afternoon. Now I get to start collecting data.
"But why...?"
Thanks, IT. :-)
Welcome.
Excellent!
Oh, good! Did you know that 40o below in Fahrenheit is the same as Celsius?
I've got some more stuff too.
(No kidding, congratulations, Doc!)
Thanks, Bob.
When it's sprintime in Alaska, it's 40 below.
That's a bit chilly.
Yes, but it's Johnny Horton!!
Oh, I don't remember that song.
"I successfully defended my dissertation proposal this afternoon. Now I get to start collecting data."
Congratulations on your successful defense.
Gosh, it sure is a long and tedious process the road to Doctorhood.
All the very best on the Big Book.
Thanks. It will take me a while longer to finish the degree.

I mushed from Point Barrow thru a bizzard of snow
Been out prospectin' for two years or so
Pulled into Fairbanks the city was a boom
So I took a little stroll to the Reddog Saloon.
As I walked in the door the music was clear
The purtiest voice I had heard in two years
The song she was singin' made a man's blood run cold
When It's Springtime In Alaska, it's forty below.
(When It's Springtime In Alaska, it's forty below.)
It was Red-headed Lil who was singin' so sweet
I reached down and took the snowpacks off my feet
I reached for the gal who was singin' the tune
We did the Eskimo Hop all around the saloon.
With a Caribou Crawl and the Grizzly Bear Hug
We did our dance on a Kodiak rug
The song she kept singin' made a man's blood run cold
When It's Springtime In Alaska, it's forty below.
I was as innocent as I could be
I didn't know Lil was big Ed's wife to be
He took out his knife and he gave it a throw
When It's Springtime In Alaska, I'll be six feet below.
TAG: (When It's Springtime In Alaska, he'll be six feet below.)
"North To Alaska"
Good for you! Knock 'em dead! If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with ... baloney.
What's a "remera"?
