JB

You have a girlfriend? So much for preconceived notions.

Don't be too quick to toss away your preconceived notions. After all, Elton John was married to a woman for a few years back in the 80's. Some people will go to extraordinary lengths to try to disguise that whiff of lavender.

Not that I'm making any insinuations here...I'm just sayin'...y'know - though I now I think of it, last year in Santa Cruz, JB was often seen in the company of an older gentleman with a striking blonde perm...

I, in no way ever thought that JB was gay. Although I did think he was Frankie Big Face for a while. (that is an old running ((RAN)) joke that should promptly annoy FBF into shaking a fist at me)

<b>starF</b> I got your pm, give me a day or too. I need to upload the latest versions to the web server. I've been lazy about it and I'm not sure which versions are where and I just want to re-upload them so *I KNOW*.

I couldn't care less if someone thought I was gay.

Hey, remember that one dude who thought that Hoblit's name was Allen?

Yeah, that sucks... I worked with that guy on and off for 4 years over at Atkin's Park and he can't remember my effing name? WTF? His name is Rob. I'll forgive him though, he is/was a major stoner.

how are you is/was something?

When you are confused by abbreviations, it helps to say the expanded version of the sentence out loud. For instance, if you read "he is/was a stoner," and you're unsure of the point being made, try saying these two, simpler phrases:

1) he is a stoner.

2) he was a stoner.

Both of these thoughts are expressed in the above, initially-confusing sentence.

Does it make more sense now?

jb wrote:My girlfriend Dorie...

Is Dorie pronounced to rhyme with "quarry" and "lorry" (do quarry and lorry rhyme in the USA?), or more like "Dory" from the movie "Finding Nemo"?

Has she ever been to Australia? Why I ask, is that if it is the former pronounciation and she ever finds herself out here - people above the age of about 40 will tend to giggle when they hear her name, as it brings back memories of the ridiculous charachter Dorrie Evans of the 'groundbreaking' TV soapie of the early 1970's "Number 96" (it was apparently 'groundbreaking' because it had lots of nudity and drugs and homosexuality and stuff). Dorrie was the nosy, interferring old woman in the show who would churn out silly catch-phrases.

So if shes ever wondered why middle-aged Australians giggle when they hear her first name - that is probably why

Dear Caravan Ray and Jack Shite,

A toast was made in your honor after Saturday night's show of Aussie Rum. Thanks!

Ken

We don't use the word "lorry" in the USA.

yay! glad to know the $30 i spent to fed-ex it wasn't wasted!

Yeah! It was damn good rum, and my throat was a little funky after all that concerting and it felt therapeutic. Therapeutic drinks! Who woulda guessed!
Thanks to both of ya.
-bill

edit: i lost a word in that sentence somehow

Had a great time last week and it looks like there's a couple of pictures of me rocking out home counties style so thats good. Its also been educational having learnt that everyone in america drinks cold tea and eats cake but calls it corn bread. All very confusing. P.S. Charleston is hotter than the surface of the sun.

Yeah, that rum was killer. Ken only gave me half a shot (because he's a gentleman) and it still cut to the heart of me.

Sheail -- How are you getting by without the nails?

I was scared of the rum, exclamation point.

Good to see it finally got drunk. Though thanks (or apologies) should possibly also go to Chad of Booty Chesterfield - because unless I'm mistaken, I awarded the Bundy to him as the star performer at Santa Cruz, then forgot to give it too him and left it at Jack's house. Oh well...at least the BC3 can get drunk on kudos

You'll hardly catch me drinking iced tea and eating cornbread. I'm just guilty of eating big naked weenies.
