Sounds like a good idea... I think I'll go lay in bed, read, and listen to the game.

Have a good night!

It's a faux funkle.

Bear, your funkle will go down in the books with an asterisk.

I'd kinda like to stop in at TNS every so often, but don't dare.

Is it your self-imposed exile? Or is there another reason you don't dare? All the regulars are really great people and we could always use another one. ;^)

But the ones that intrigue me are the millenium discussions. The Calvinists are sharply divided on that issue.

Yeah, it's kind of funny watching people who would gleefully team up to pile on somebody start airing their own "differences."

Nice cheese-wheel knives.

It's hard to argue with efficiency.

We only have about 5 or so DVDs, but Matrix was such a favorite that we made sure it was one of the first we bought. :)
We have O Brother and LOTR, too! :)

We have those three as well; funny how so many of us have similar taste. Do any of y'all have "The Long Kiss Goodnight"? That and the Matirix were the first two I bought for myself. The boys had bought "O, Brother" for Sir SuziQ for his birthday. Then we bought "Harry Potter" and "Jimmy Neutron" (a very silly,funny movie by the way). The last we bought was LOTR; clearly the most watched at this point!

Is it your self-imposed exile?

Yeah, it's my own rule. That's the part I hate the most about the FR "Forums." There are other threads over there where I think I could/would comment, but then they'd start pinging me back to that other garbage.

Maybe I'll read TNS for a while and see...Or is that like an alcoholic saying "I'll just have one glass of wine with dinner...."

Morning all. Grumble, grumble, grumble...

I'm sitting here at home hoping that my wife gets the message she has my car keys...She had an appointment across town at 7:30. I needed to be gone already to get the little one to daycare, get to the dry cleaners and get to work. I'm taking Thursday and Friday off (have to be out of town), so I can't afford to be late...

Yeah, I know, I know. We should have a second set. We did and we lost it. Then we had a new set made, but they don't fit and we haven't gotten back to have them redone. AND, even if I did have a second set, my key ring has my office keys...

Found this amusing sentence in Fingerprints of the Gods, which I am, weirdly, currently reading:

"For some curious reason that has not been explained, the Ancient Egyptians had a special liking and reverence for dwarves. So, too, did the civilized peoples of ancient Central America, right back to Olmec times. In both cases it was believed that dwarves were directly connected to the gods. And in both cases dwarves were favoured as dancers and were shown as such in works of art."

Although that part about dancing in works of art sounds suspiciously elvish.

Leaving this morning on an out of town trip, so will most likely be out of touch the rest of the week. I'll try to drop in, though. Take care, everyone.

Have a good trip Sam. I'll be going out of town myself tomorrow evening.

See you when you get back.

I hope you find your keys, I hate it when that happens.

I've lost mine so many times that eventually I ended up hiding a set in the truck chassis in a little magnetic box. That has saved me several times now.

You have a good trip also.

Is a "funkle" considered desirable?
