Posting in all capital letters

[Dusty Road]

Will posting in all capital letters, eat up more bandwidth.

"... this one will haunt me for life. Geez!"

don't think of it as having been Zotted.

Think of it as being an electron boosted to a higher orbit. In this case, the Asteroid Belt. (The Governor of Caleefornia thinks that the Asteroid Belt is the prize you get for winning a weight-lifting contest without chemical aids.)

P.S. Sorry I was slow to respond. I was reading the thread.

I make one idiot post ( actually I’ve made many ) But this one will haunt me for life. Geez!

DR, I've already vetted you, though you will see some comments over the coming month. Not to worry, come 1/31 we'll move on and this thread will die. I bet within days after our departure it will be completely forgotten.

You are more than welcome to join us, even if only for the month, and at least one previous (live FR) host is also with us -- Frank Sheed.

"It’s going to be the end of the year."

I'm ready. I have a beer.

(And I'm not afraid to use it!)

I'm ready. I have a beer.
(And I'm not afraid to use it!)

T-C, be wary. Having been honored to be in the physical presence of NnBob I can confirm that he is completely without fear in wielding beer, and he can wield it with a truly mighty fist!!!

Everytime you post in all caps, an angel loses its wings.

HEH HEH HEH

[Dusty Road]

You should like these.

[NicknamedBob]

Indeed.

Many a beer has gone down to dusty defeat. (No relation to our thread host.)

Nice pictures!

The last one reminds me of why I don’t eat mushrooms.

[Dusty Road]

Couple of my little buddie's.

[Not A Snowbird]

I’m a city girl, so forgive a possibly stupid question... are those goats or sheep?

[Dusty Road]

They are an Ibex Sheep cross. These are Fallow deer. Whitetail deer.

[Not A Snowbird]

Beautiful!

Rocking Horse

I used to have a rocking horse,
Upon its back I sat.
And first I'd lean it this way,
And then I'd lean it that.

That rocking horse once took me,
Around the wild, wild West,
The mileage that I got on him,
Was some I loved the best.

These rocking horses that you see,
With no one on their backs,
The reason they are riderless,
Is because of Red Man's Tax.

No, not the Injuns that I shot,
They're peaceful now, at last,
The Reds that overran us, though,
On election days just past,

Our hobby-horse got hobbled,
Right at the starting gate,
For all the energy we'd command,
We might have slept too late.

Last poem this year. Probably. (Dusty's picture, by the way.)

I t5hink I will calibrate New Year your time zone unless there is somebody from Nova Scotia on here.

[NicknamedBob]

Well, either we’re all out partying hearty, or we’re all just a bunch of old duddy-fuddies.

[NicknamedBob]

Happy New Year!

I think I’ll get another beer.

[ThomasThomas]

I was in deep contemplation concerning this question. When is it officially the New Year? Can we celebrate every time zone that has a Freeper on line or are were bond to the Fresno time zone?

[NicknamedBob]

If you live close to a time zone transition, you can celebrate twice.

Larry Niven had a character try to celebrate his birthday for 48 hours by traveling around the world.

Like sand through the hourglass, so go the hours of our old year.

[NicknamedBob]

Then again, on the Flying Castle, we can celebrate three times. Flying Castle proper is the last, on California time.

Of course, in orbit out among the Asteroids, just when does the year begin?

[ThomasThomas]

Since time here on the home planet is defined by the relative location of the earth and the sun would time even exist in the asteroid belt?
