OK, GUYS, LET'S S ROLL!!

I thought Maybe a good way to begin tonight's discussions would be for us to share about some of the best pranks and jokes that we either played on someone,(or someone played on us) when we were younger(or nowadays, for that matter)

Also, we could share about some of the crazy things we used to do, when we were younger(or perhaps still do) that were seen as fun at the time, but look foolhardy to us today.

I'll start things off, and share about one thing I did about 20 years or so ago, when I was 18-19. I would go on little "scenic routes" as I used to call them. (keep in mind that in 1986-87 gas was WAY less than $1.00 a gallon). Now, I did not just drive around aimlessly, but I had a friend named Paul with me. And Paul was a LOT more daring than I!! while I drove, Paul tossed bottles, cans, eggs and fireworks out of the car, mainly at road signs, but also at a few mailboxes. I egged him on, and thought it was a LOT of fun!! Paul conned me into believing that I was not doing anything wrong, since I was "just driving". (I just have to chalk that up to youthful stupidity...) In reality, I would had been the ONLY one to get into trouble had we been caught, because PAUL WAS ON HOUSE ARREST at the time, for a B&E that he and some others had been involved in , AND he was only 17!! SO, had we gotten caught,(and in early '87 we ALMOST did!!) I would had gotten the book thrown at me, for vandalism, littering, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and who knows what else!!

I'll reserve the stories about me messing with gunpowder, acid, gasoline,lighter fluid and fireworks for another time!!! (He....He... He..)

SO... Does anyone else care to share anything(that the statue of limitations has expired on !!) LOL!!

How's that mailbox looking?

[rzeznikj at stout]

Yeah...

The fact is that this coming after the Brewers beat the Reds yesterday 11-0, and with five home runs in the fourth inning.

[Rca2000]

Sounds like a plan!!

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

It's Silicon Valley...but is might as well be Planet Silicon.

[Rca2000]

Howdy do, Tulip!!

[pcottraux]

Man, that's a lot of silicon.

[rzeznikj at stout]

Howdy!

How are you?

[rzeznikj at stout]

LOL!!

[rzeznikj at stout]

Good choice!!

Looks like I'll eventually find myself mucking out the stables--but with where I'm headed, I believe I'd be fairly well-suited for such a role...;)

Pay-to-play is alive and well in Wisconsin government--something I hope that one day in the near future I can help rectify.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

I was thinking Associate Press!

[Army Air Corps]

Well, the nice things would be better income, better employment (no more uncertainty over availability of summer teaching positiions) and I can retain good contact with my dissertation committee.

[tuliptree76]

Hi RAS. I'm fine. How are you doing?

[Victoria Delsoul]

I need to get going, I still need to finish a couple of things for tomorrow.

Good night everyone. Have a great week all.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

Yikes!!! You sound serious!!! What happened!?

[Army Air Corps]

Them as well.

I am looking for an amie fix; I think that I'll rent Steamboy this week.

I recently discovered that some other grad students in my department are anime fans.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Well, but you are on the right track and that's what counts. Eventually, you'll get what you want.

Nighty night.

[Rca2000]

Yes you too. Have a good night's sleep, and a good week!! Ciao bella!!

[pcottraux]

Hooray! She's here!!! Jump for joy and deck the halls!!!

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

I am working late during the week. This weekend I was over at my sisters for a birthday party. We went bowling. I sucked to high-heaven...but I had fun!

[tuliptree76]

Um... no need to get excited.
