Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

WooT! Here’s hoping to hear good news!

[Lil'freeper]

Terrane is a cool word!

Iddn't though? It's in my bank of obscure scientific vocabulary from my college daze. Every now and again a synapse misfires and one those words pop into my head at random.

[Lil'freeper]

Happy Dancing at the 2J house! Wow! You guys need to celebrate - root beer floats or something!

[SuziQ]

Please Freepmail his name to me, and I’ll add him, by name, to our Parish Prayer List.

[SuziQ]

Outstanding news, 2J!! I’ll be adding Steve to the Prayer list for his job interviews, and his health as well!

[SuziQ]

Don't ferget the language of the Church...

Heh, there was that, too!

[SuziQ]

Steve gets the interview, and YOU gets the Precious!

[ExGeeEye]

A lot of our "bad words" are just the Anglo-Saxon for manure, urine, various body parts, sex etc. In context it would have been quite proper to say "scite" in church.

[Corin Stormhands]

[Lil'freeper]

I'm too poor for a map.

And stuff.

[Ramius]

LOL.

It sure is good that she’s pretty. Darn merciful, even.

[SuziQ]

Oh, by the way, since the time frame was wrong for trying to call and get together on our trip last week, I waved at you as we rolled by on I-95 near the proving grounds both going South a week ago, Monday, then coming back in the wee hours last Friday!

*snork*

[Lil'freeper]

That’s ok - I thought of you, too. We’re currently living in C.H.A.O.S. lately so it’s probably just as well. teehee.

[osagebowman]

Whoop! Great haircut and a great t-shirt; Maroon and White.
The car looks to be in great shape, congrats.

Wear comfortable shoes to the game - you’ll be standing the whole time. No setting down at an AGGIE game.

Good Luck to Steve on Friday.

OB & LSA

That’s great Corin. You know, she’s getting more air time than any other pagent contestant, could it be that she had it planned that way all along?

[RosieCotton]

I’m not sure I’d want my fifteen minutes of fame to be on account of being an airhead...

[Lil'freeper]

I had to step into the neighboring office today to ask a colleague a question. One of her officemates was conducting a quiz: "Why are so many American kids unable to find America on a map?"

Silly me. I hadn't seen the video, so I fell for the gag and gave a nice thoughtful answer. Then they played the video. I'm still stuned.

I'm printing out that graphic tomorrow and taping it on their door...

[JenB]

Uh... guess I missed that trivia. What was this airhead’s answer?

[Lil'freeper]

Something about being too poor to have maps.
