Somehow Peter Lorre as Smeagol works.

Yes, he was perfect... I couldn't remember his name or I would have raved about him! - Glad you liked it!

Hullo!

Back from the fair!

Ate one GOP burger, one hand dipped corn dog, one triple-shot frozen frappe (espresso), One chicken kabob and a corn on the cob!

They are networking, aren't they?

Oh, yes... they actually have some Windows 2000 servers on their network. They also have an old IBM AS400 mainframe which maintains all of their databases, including the IT dept.'s trouble report tickets. They access it through a terminal-emulation program. It's supposed to be a "paperless office", but the interface to look up a trouble ticket is so klunky the only way to deal with it effectively is to print out the ticket. Gah!

I could go on and on.... :)

Haven't had a corn dog in a while. Liked them pretty much in college days. I used to wonder if Thomas Jefferson would have liked one.

Why did you wonder if Thomas Jefferson would like corn dogs?

hehehehe

For me, it's not the quantity of food that does me in... it's the combinations!

Sounds like you had a good time, though!

Growing up in the same town that Jefferson did kept him in my thoughts alot...he had many interests, as I guess most of us know. I've often been an admirer.

I believe I would like to build a potato gun, though I'm not sure it would work for deer hunting :-) But it sounds like fun, along with possibly being politically incorrect, which adds to its appeal.

Hullo *yawn* sounds like everyone's having a nice day! I gave up and volunteered to be the first one out tonight - I closed three times this week, I can get out early one night if I want to. Tomorrow we're rearranging rooms, but it's for my benefit; since I'll be sadly living at home from now until I'm done with undergrad, at least, they're giving me my room back - I've been sleeping on a bed in the basement, which is finished but not really a bedroom. The room I get is small, and a little hot, but it does have that most precious of items - a large bookshelf! My friends can come out of their boxes and be proudly displaced once more!

Man, it's only 9? I shouldn't go to bed yet or I won't sleep well.

Hullo! Back now and gonna go take a look 'round.

My farrier was here putting new shoes on the ponies. That is always a fun event. He's a good guy, and he is good to my ponies.
