Skyjim requesting billet title, Captain!

[skyjim]

Oops!  You beat me to it!  I stand corrected and honored!

Thanks for the kewl title....it's totally rad.  Always wanted to be a "hot shot"

How are things with you? Glad to hear that things are starting to settle down. When it rains it pours.  I know, I have 3 sons that manage to keep that a constant.

[yales]

"fun online"?

I never really pictured you getting into that stuff!

Hey, whatever floats your boat!

Dear Captian, I formily request an honorable title & position abord the Whack-a-nut. I'm a veteran of the U.S.A.F. & a big StarTrek fan...I think this qualifies me for something.

[Calli dances excitedly at her lovely title.]

Thank you very very much!  And please accept my humble apologies for having been too dense to notice it was already there.  It has been one of those days.

You've never been to Colorado?  I have -- I used to live there.

Anyone want to here my life story?

Well you're gonna anyway, at least it's short...

Or not...

I was born in Rochester, MN, and lived there until right after 2nd grade when my dad got laid off from IBM.  We ended up moving to Longmont, CO -- an ugly little town that's growing way too quickly.  Oh well, the mountains were pretty.  And anyway, after being laid off of the first job he got there, he found a second one in that town, so we could stay there.  Sometime during 5th grade, though, we decided we wanted to move back to Rochester -- lots of reasons, but one of them being that my older brother was a year away from high school and my parents wanted him to go to a Catholic high school (the nearest one was in Denver, but there's one in Rochester).  So my dad got a job here and we moved back.  And my dad, once again, got laid off.  Again.  Thankfully, that company that he quit from has a facility near Minneapolis, so he got a job there.  Whew.  So it's not exactly my life story, seems more like my dad's.

Oh, and guess what Calli?  My dad went to St. Olaf too -- a long time ago.

I'm sorry, I think I accidentally drank something at Peter's bar that I shouldn't have.  If you don't like me rambling on like this...then make sure that I can't get a hold of any of those, um, interesting concoctions they serve there!

[esk2]

sounds ok, but how about  Nieizschien

[calliarcale]

Your dad went to St Olaf too?  Neat!  And you're from Rochester originally?  I like Rochester very much.  It's a lovely town.

I'm actually a fourth-generation St Olaf student.  My dad was class of '72, my mom was class of '73 and my grandma attended for three years back in the 40s before transferring to the University of Minnesota.  (She wanted to go to the same school as her new beau, who is now my grandpa. )  So in honor of there being one other person on this forum who has actually heard of St Olaf.....

[clears throat to sing]

We come from St Olaf
We sure are the real stuff
Our team is the cream of the college's great!
We fight fast and furious
Our team is injurious
Tonight Carleton College will sure meet its fate!
Um ya ya, um ya ya
Um ya ya, um ya ya
Um ya ya, um ya ya
Um ya ya ya!

It's actually "Carleton College" in the sixth line regardless of who the team is actually playing.    It's also the only school song that I'm aware of which is set to a polka beat.  (Figures; them crazy Norwegian immigrants, donchaknow.)

Having fun ON the computer does not REQUIRE it being turned on, but that metal can be pretty cold.

I guess down in the steaming tropics of deepest Alabama that may sound pretty good!

I will try to fix it the way you want tomorrow. I'm getting an error message when I try to access my admin user functions.

yale:  considering the temps have been in the vicinity of 100degF in the shade, not counting heat index, and I just heard the weather report that we are 70% of air quality max poor, I just have one word for you:   YEP.

[apollo2791]

Yes, and actually I've been to St. Olaf too -- my brother had a cross country race there.  My dad was class of '77.  It's funny -- some people I'm (barely) related to from Kansas were making fun of the way we talk!  And when we went to D.C. for vacation, a waiter at Olive Garden asked if we were Minnesotans!!

[payloadcontroller]

It's lonely here on the Bridge. I am the only being here. <sigh>

BTW, esk, try your updated title. We can keep messing with it until you like it.

CQ-DX...CQ-DX...is anybody out there?
