I am amazed everyday when I swing the creaky doors open to this place after a long night what I will find. WHO LEFT THE GREEN SLIME ON THE FLOOR? lol. I am not going to ask about the Cat poop and chicken bones under the table either. I will admit the animals and lights are welcome additions though the tiger keeps trying to attack my shoelaces as I walk by. All in all not a bad day though our friends out east are trying to uncover and our friends out west are trying to stay afloat. I hope I have done a good job sweeping up here and will bring some broasted chicken to the party this evening.

I've been cleaning out my gif collection here at AW in anticipation of the upcoming changes. I've never had the opportunity to use this one. I'll hang it here in this thread until it disappears on the 14th. Seems appropriate.

Well boys' and Girls' our Ship the US ROCKER is sitting on the edge of the horizon and ready to disappear. It is a sad day for us all.
I was there with Rocker on the first night and have been there everyday since, come rain, hail, snow (in Rocker's case) and shine, the Late Night Crowd has been here everyday for over a month now. We hit the AW record and all without a cross word said between any of us. We have strengthened international ties and had a lot of fun.
Let us drink to the continued success of our party.

Hello folks, well, I had just settled into
bed and was reading Reader's Digest had to
get up to tell a couple of jokes from Laughter, the Best Medicine.
Rocker for you: Recently a poll of
people in NYC showed that 80% of them wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the world. Besides, it was reported, it would
violate the terms of their parole. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!! (don't shoot the messenger-I'm
just passing it on)
Nettak thought this was kind of cute
for my Aussie Mates:Two friends lived in
Canada. They were sick of winter, so they
went to a travel agent & booked a trip to
Australia.
When the two friends got off the plane-still
wearing their down jackets, wool hats, & snow
boots they wandered into a pub and sat down.
The locals wondered about these strangers, so
one of the Aussies walked over to the visitors
and said, "G'day, mates. Where're you from?"
"Saskatoon, Saskatchewan," one of the Canadians
replied. "oh," said the Aussie, returning to
his table. "So, where are they from?" the other locals asked. "Don't know," replied the
Aussie. "They don't speak English!"
posted on March 7, 2001 09:04:24 PMNettak is it true that the word
Kangaroo is aboriginal for What?
Somewhere I heard that when asked about the
leaping critter the Aboriginal didn't understand the question and replied, "Kangaroo?" Do you know if there
is any truth to that or ith thith another myth??
Xardon Love that neat sign...looking
good! Reminds me of the Islands....singing
All day, all night Mary Anne, down by the
sea side sifting sand....All day, all night
Mary Anne, who the hell you think I am
Superman? All together now... Good night all!
Here I be, Jammun all by mahself mon.
sad, sad, sad,::::::sneaking off to cry in
my beer...Ginger (that is)

Hi Zilvy, yes you are kind of right, apparently when the British asked the Aboriginals what the animal was, they replied "Kangaroo", meaning what the heck are you saying. Or maybe not those exact words but something like it. LOL http://micom.asn.au/~bruce/Australianisms.html
Now if I have done this right it should be a link to a site called Australian Stuff. This will tell you some other Aussie things.

You are really getting good (er). Thank you
Nettak...tomorrow I will explore that site
a bit more, but right now I am off to the
land of Nod. Hubby has been home sick for
a few days and my days have been rather long.
Funny, they don't understand that they can't
have spicy food and beer when the have gastro
intestinal disorders. Sooo much for chicken
soup and rice. Warm ginger ale and black tea.
Not what he is used to that is for sure.
I think he is on the mend if not, kicking &
screaming he is at the doctor tomorrow.
Have a good night. Sweet dreams.

{{{{NETTAK}}}} I am very sorry about your mother in law. I know this is a hard time for you - remember you have friends who love you and you can cry on our shoulders anytime if need be, ok?
Zilvy - The NY joke is hilarious!!
Hello everyone I have missed you guys and had to stop in to catch up and say HI!!
I'm pretty wiped out so I can't stay tonight. But d@mn, all that food sure does look good. I wanna see a CHERRY RIPE!! They sound soooo good, does anyone have a picture of one???
And look at all those recipes... that's it, I'm coming over to all your houses with my napkin and my fork.
posted on March 7, 2001 10:59:37 PMRocker, what a funny thing for you to ask for today of all days, I went out and got some stuff for you today, and when I got home I found you email waiting. Part of what I got you was a cherry ripe. LOL

I just found something even spookier, Rocker, check you email. I said some things in it that are almost the same wording you put to me in your last post.

Wow Xardon, great sign! We need to install that one permanently
Evening everyone! Sorry I'm so late I actually cooked dinner tonight and I was so tuckered out I fell asleep in the chair after dinner! I guess that means I'm not all better yet

Nettak - Sorry I missed you last night. Hope you and your family are holding up ok...
Zilvy - When I was in high school our houses were named after Aboriginal words for Australian animals. One day we had an Aboriginal as a guest speaker for something or other and it was discovered that we had been pronouncing all of the names (except one) wrong all those years!

Hi Mouse & Pharlap, how are you both tonight.
My MIL is holding on, she is very weak, but she know who we are. It is each day as it comes. Not long now, I don't know how she has stayed so strong this long.
Pharlap, we also had Aboriginal house names, I think it must be a fairly common thing in Australian schools.
I like Xardon's sign too. It was made for us, and I think we should keep it. Haha

Oh my I think I have been very rude. I am sorry Midlife, I should have welcomed you to our party. I can only say that I have had a lot on my mind of late. I hope you will forgive my rudness and continue to party with us.

Ok guys - let me be the one to christen this thread with the first "blue" joke (looking around furtively to make sure Michelle isn't around...)
Little Lucy went out into the garden and saw her cat Piddles lying on the ground with its eyes shut and its legs in the air. She fetched her Dad to look at Piddles, and on seeing the cat he said, as gently as he could,
"I'm afraid Piddles is dead, Lucy."
"So why are his legs sticking up in the air like that, Daddy?" asked Lucy as she fought back the tears.
At a loss for something to say the father replied, "Piddles' legs are pointing straight up in the air so that it will be easier for Jesus to float down from heaven above and grab a leg and lift Piddles up to heaven."
Little Lucy seemed to take her Piddles' death quite well. However, two days later when her father came home from work, Lucy had tears in her eyes and said: "Mommy almost died this
morning."
Fearing something terrible had happened the father shook the girl and shouted, "How do you mean Lucy? Tell Daddy!"
"Well", mumbled Lucy, "soon after you left for work this morning I saw mommy lying on the floor with her legs in the air and she
was shouting, "Oh Jesus!!! I'm coming, I'm coming!!!" and if it hadn't been for the milkman holding her down she would definitely have gone, Daddy".
