Good Afternoon Class. Welcome to School!

[Slip18]

Vast, that was really nice of you! I was busy all day, sorry I couldn't get in. You are a true gentleman!

[Slip18]

I haven't read the thread, but MOUNTIES for Sea? You've got to be out of your ever-loving mind. They will die in her battlefield. LOL!

[SeaDragon]

Thanks for the picture, cupcake.

They look yummy.

[SeaDragon]

Oh but slippy, they won't hurt me and the look sooooooo tasty in the red uniforms.

[Slip18]

I figured you'd like those red uniforms, Miss Sea! LOL!

How large is that apple tree?

[SeaDragon]

Very large, very large indeed.

[Slip18]

Dang, Sea. That's what you are THE COQUETTE! You're the best.

[SeaDragon]

Well, thank you Slippy, I appreciate the vote of confidence.

[Slip18]

I'm obviously having my Scotcharoonie tonight. "What" should have been "Why."

[RikaStrom]

The new baby is teething on my desk, the coffee table and the latest victim to her musings was the instruction guide to the DVD player. LOL

[Robert A Cook PE]

", but MOUNTIES for Sea? You've got to be out of your ever-loving mind....

Wellllll, of course, Misstress Sea can get all the mounties she can handle.

Heck, I'll bet she can mountied any time she wants to ....

Hmmmmmn.

Somehow that sounds a little bit fishy.

Hobby, my boy - Help me out here. Did I say that right?

[SeaDragon]

LOLOL

I knew that................

[Argh]

Sounds aboot right to me, Robt.!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Butt, the one thong wrong is that she's already deep into the adoption procedures for these poor waifs from SOUTH of the border......

Is she good enough to take on even more?

I'd really hate to see her worn out by being in the saddle too long rounding all these up.

I mean, gee whiz, it's a hard job, but realllly. You'd think she'd share with the other coquettes sometimes afer being up all night......

[Argh]

If Miss Sea wants Mounties, she can have all the Mounties I can get my hands on.

I wrote the Mountie entrance exam back in 1976, then changed my mind and decided to stay in Montreal. They sent me a lovely letter practically begging me to join, but I figured didn't want to enforce dreadful customs laws (Free Trade all the way!) and didn't want to spend half my life in Igloolik or Tuktoyaktuk or Ellesmere Island or New Brunswick, Montreal was just too much fun. (Guess I should have figured that oot before I wrote the exam, eh?)

By the way, Mountie-ettes are pretty yummy, too.

[Argh]

Calling all croquettes! Calling all croquettes! I suspect you're going to want to go to Robt.'s link!

[SeaDragon]

Robert, my sweet, we need to talk.....................

[SeaDragon]

Trust me Robert, when I tell you that I will take very, very good care of them.

Oh my!

[RikaStrom]

Oh my... I could certainly find it in my heart to help those poor boys out! lol

[Robert A Cook PE]

Could you call a mountette a little mountain (no molehill here!) or "a quicky mountie"? Should we ask Miss Sea?

Or is "a fast mount" a more appropriate description of a mountette?

Do two of them make up a pair of Mountetwintitties?

Or does ette just means she has a little horse?

(A big horse, butt a small a*s?)

(Should I shut up before they shoot me?)
