Uncharacteristically quiet for a person waiting or a Mini to arrive. Good drugs?

Ok,..that makes sense. Try hanging out a window from 40 stories up. Not only is it exhilirating, but it helps to put things in perspective.

<nabs keyboard out from under Zorg's head and proceeds to beat him about the head and shoulders with it, all the while singing "Just a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down...">

Oh,..never occured to me,..but you are right! I was getting ready to go right into Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious next. It has a nice beat to swing a keyboard by, thereby bludgeoning the unsuspecting person quite handily.

I can always fight back by removing my laptop from its docking station a the speed of light and hurling it into your direction. Don't mess with a man waiting for his Mini!!

Okay, car at port. Car awaiting loading on boat. Zorg waiting to learn what boat Mini gets on. Most realistically, Mini will go on Boheme on 8/20 and arrive in Cali on 9/10. With some luck, Mini will arrive at Mini of Concord by 9/15.

Unless the boat sinks or loses its GPS system. Hang in there! I am sure all will be well.

Romi was never listed to be on a boat. There was a 2 week period of time when she was lost in the system. No one had a clue where she was. It all got ironed out, and I took out my frustration with mutiple whines on NAM.

Like the first time I rode my bike without training wheels. That's what you meant, right?

Oh, that would be really good about now. Zorg, we re-installed the training wheels. Too easy to lose your balance when waiting for your Mini. It's for your own protection and the safety of others.

Any house of spirits that carries a proper Belgian selection.

YAAARRRR!!!!

I'm not generally much into stupid comedies, but the pirate bit from Dodgeball still cracks me up to no end.

Oh, but wait. I see you're in PA, where you can't find beer anywhere. I forget how that works. Are there state run stores?

We have beer distributors(independently owned) and state stores for liquor(no alcohol at all in the grocery stores), but we do have a great distributor nearby called the Shanghy(sort of sounds Pirate like)who stocks about 2000 kinds of beer. If anyone has it, he will!

Oh, thank goodness, it makes me nervous when there isn't good liquor availability. My PA experience has involved overpriced extremely limited selections at little markets.

Maybe this weekend it will be a good excuse to make a trip to NH, where they have tax free state stores!

Soooo...I take a 3 day road trip (with Bubbles and my kids) and look at all the stuff I missed.....all I have to say is....

".....do a deer a female deer, ray, a drop of golden sun...."

Whoops...wrong movie....but it is Julie Andrews!

Why are we putting training wheels on Zorg? Do they attach to his shoes...must be a USA thing?
