Loads faster.

Sneak! :)

Awwww, darn thunderstorm, kept me from the Precious....

I just watched Ann Coulter come apart on Hardball Oh, too bad. I had hoped she would be able to give them all what-for, but I guess there's a limit to anyone's endurance.

It was pretty nasty while it lasted... high winds (gusts near 70 mph) destroyed a couple of trailer homes; no tornadoes fortunately, although the potential was there, and lots of lightning, some hail, some rain. The whole thing, from blowing up to blowing away, took about an hour. It's quiet now, stopped raining, only some occasional rumbles in the distance to hint that anything happened.
But it was exciting for a little while.

No sneakin',, just stumbled on it in the dark.

OK, as near as I can tell from reading Appendix E in ROTK...
Bah'rook Kah'zahd
Kah'zahd I meh'noo
Accents on the first syllable, 'ah' = short 'a', 'eh' = short 'e', 'oo' as in 'too' not 'book' in both instances, 'I' as in, well, 'I'. Uhm, did that make sense?
If anyone can make clearer sense of JRRT's pronunciation guide, please correct me!

Good work on the sneak DonnerT, I went to get a shower and didn't notice how close we were.

Home for the evening? I am over talking about guns and dogs on the same thread.Hullo! At home, and only slightly damp from the trip (just beat a thunderstorm getting home.)
As for the guns & dogs thread, I can only quote Frederick Douglas...
Agitate, agitate, agitate!
To: Sam Cree
Not quite the quad O's,, but double 1 triple naught looked inviting.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Naw, agitating is not in my naturally sunny disposition!
To: Sam Cree; HairOfTheDog
Whoa... binary posts! I like numbers like 11010.
Hi friends. Hair, thanks for keeping the fires going over on the snob-thread. Nasty snobbishy person! I wonder if he's read anything other than From here to eternity. I'd be mad if I read that novel. It sounds like a great SF story, but it's about Pearl Harbor? No thanks!
Busy, busy Jen. I'm working hard. Hope to have time off again someday...

I should go check on that thread... It hasn't appeared on my radar for awhile... more happening on it?
To: HairOfTheDog
Naw, agitating is not in my naturally sunny disposition!Well, ok. I try to maintain a somewhat placid disposition myself, but that quote is still one of my favorites.
I'm not sure why...
To: HairOfTheDog
Well, I just posted. Maybe something will happen now...

I like "She gave him a look you could pour on a waffle" but I rarely get to use it.
To: HairOfTheDog
OK, you know I've got to ask, where is that quote from?
mmmmm..... waffles....
To: JenB
Not sure what a binary post is....but Hello.
Thought of another SF book I once enjoyed, The Wild Shore, by Kim Stanley Robinson. But everything else he (she?) wrote, I disliked so much that I wonder if I was wrong about the first one.
