Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 14 Aug 06 - 10:55 PM Ya know Bill, you're a good man. It's not your fault you are tuit deficient. That's probably why you married the lovely Rita--to compensate for that lack. Now, I happen to know that Ebbie has tuit galore. But she didn't need to waste any of it on me. She just trusts me. Thanks, Ebbie. Bobad, he's just gullible. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 14 Aug 06 - 11:00 PM When I was in college I pulled into a gas station and was suddenly swarmed by attendants and a guy with a microphone in his hand who absolutely could not wait to interview me. You could say it was my first public speaking engagement. I was very articulate. I said "Huh?" Turns out it was a grand opening or something and the local radio station was there. They had just announced that the first blonde to stop for gas would win a free tank of gas and a six pack of Pepsicola. As it happened, I didn't have my radio turned on. But thet ain't what I'm talkin' about. Janie |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: bobad Date: 14 Aug 06 - 11:05 PM I never win anything, but I'm happy for those that do. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: JennyO Date: 14 Aug 06 - 11:35 PM Looks like I'll probably be the last to know if you don't tell us soon, Janie. I gotta go out in a little while :-( Sooooo........... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 14 Aug 06 - 11:42 PM Sorry---cain't say. I only won to the extent that nobody knows I won. As soon as certain shady characters figger out I won, then I lose. Janie |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 14 Aug 06 - 11:44 PM Oops. Shoulda read--I only won to the extent that nobody knows what I won. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 15 Aug 06 - 08:22 AM According to the subject line of an e-mail I received recently, I also won the Europe Lottery. But I never wanted to win Europe! My house isn't big enough. Besides that, I was concerned that the gift taxes would put me in the poor house. So I deleted it without opening. Since I declined that prize, maybe one of you will have a shot at it. Eh? But that ain't it either. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Bill D Date: 15 Aug 06 - 11:02 AM well, I am shore am happy for you, Ms. Janie. I won't feel so bad about being the last to know, if nobody else does either. (Ya' know, them tuits are funny...everyone wants a round one, but if I DID get one, mine would prob'ly be square! Mebbe I can borrow off'n Ebbie) |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 15 Aug 06 - 03:04 PM Sorry I can't say what I'm talkin' about. But I just had this need to do a little victory dance and didn't want all ya'll to think I was just out there dancin' fer no reason. You might think I was cracked er sumpin' if I were to do that. And if I were to tell, and then lose because of the tellin', why then the victory dance would be fer no reason. I once (and forever) lost my class ring in the Atlantic Ocean. That was for no reason other than fer bein' stoopid enough to wear jewelry in the water. That was 30 years ago. I reckon that is enough time for it to wash across the ocean from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to Europe, or even Oz. If any of yas finds a class ring with a topaz stone that sez Nitro High School, 1969, how 'bout givin' me a holler? I also lost my badly needed new glasses two weeks after I got them two years ago. They ain't never turned up. Can I blame typos on that? Still, all them losses are in the past. I can let 'em go. After all, right now, I'm a winner! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Ebbie Date: 15 Aug 06 - 03:51 PM Janie, we're all dancin' with you. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Ebbie Date: 15 Aug 06 - 04:31 PM hahahha Love it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 15 Aug 06 - 04:36 PM Whoopeeeee! Bow to yer partners... When I think about it Ebbie, 30 years might be enough time for that ring to have just about circled the globe. Would you keep an eye out for it, just in cases it washes up on the coast near Juneau? Oh, and let me know if I can keep a lookout for you for anything long-lost that could might pop up on Okracoke Island. More likely, I suppose, that it would be dropped by a migrating bird near the headwaters of the mighty Eno River here in Hillsborough. Good thing, that. I spend a lot more time in Hillsborough than I do at Okracoke. Yer odd's are much better that I'll find it if it got picked up by a bird. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 15 Aug 06 - 04:52 PM ...lessee....I coulda sworn I had a life around somewhere....Oh. Over there. Guess I best go get it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Ebbie Date: 15 Aug 06 - 05:00 PM Re things washing up, when I used to live at the Oregon coast I one day found in the surf a sealed bottle with a message in it. Turning it round and round I was able to read enough to see that it was written by a 16-year-old girl from Orchards-something in Michigan. She had thrown it overboard from a boat at some point- I couldn't see a date. Anyway, figuring it would come back in I threw it as far as I could into the waves. I hope some youngster eventually found it. So, sure, Janie. I'll keep my eye peeled for your ring. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 15 Aug 06 - 05:08 PM On second thought (or would that be on no thought), Bill, twarn't never no reason to fell bad fer bein' the last one to know. After all, you were the first to not know! Llaaaaadies aaaaaaannd Geennnntlemen. We have ANOTHER winner. Unprecedented though it may be....... (drumroll please) Wild Bill D. is the first to to Not to Know And is a winner and champeen in his own right! (trumpet flourishes) ...rats...misplaced my life again...huh? in the kitchen? |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Georgiansilver Date: 15 Aug 06 - 05:09 PM I just felt compelled to post to this thread to bring some length to the names....have you noticed how short all the posters names are? I suppose I must be a sad old git. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Bill D Date: 15 Aug 06 - 05:54 PM first to not know!!...ummm....right. Now why do I not feel inspired to dance? Somehow, I allus suspected that bein' first was not always.....'special'. Think about it..."first one out of the trench to charge the enemy lines"..."first to test the BETA software"..."first lemming at the cliff"..."first in line for turnip soup" Nope, I think mebbe "last to know" may have certain advantages! That way, the gossip may have been sorted from the truth, and I won't have to pretend to be sympathetic unnecessarily...... |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Bill D Date: 21 Aug 06 - 11:58 PM I do not make light of other's sorrows, heartbreaks and disappointments! I genteelly offered virtual tissues for virtual sobs! (Now, as a 'scholar', I might have reacted differently....but...) |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 22 Aug 06 - 12:22 AM Oh Ebbie (weeping piteously), how can they be so cruel? If Bill really meant to be kind, he would have offered a real hankie! (boohoohoo snuffle sniff) psst! How d'ya like them italics. I figgered out how to do 'em! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Peace Date: 22 Aug 06 - 12:28 AM Sorry for the thread drift--and I know this really is thread drift, but it's bottled up inside me and has been for years: BRING BACK EIGHT-TRACKS. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Ebbie Date: 22 Aug 06 - 01:45 AM My daughter had an 8-track player. Not so sure about the sound quality but the player was TOUGH. Janie, I remember the first time I saw a tissue. It is what a school teacher of mine used. Frankly I thought she was too poor to afford REAL hankies. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: ragdall Date: 22 Aug 06 - 02:58 AM "BRING BACK EIGHT-TRACKS." "BRING BACK"? I have an 8-track player in my car. It's sure hard finding any of new stuff to play on it. Do you have many tapes? |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: ranger1 Date: 22 May 07 - 09:31 PM Consider the pot stirred. Is there home-made chicken and vegetable soup like my gramma makes in the pot? |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Sorcha Date: 22 May 07 - 09:35 PM No, but there is leftover curry. Chicken masala. Tikka yourself. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe (The Old Won Too) From: Severn Date: 23 May 07 - 07:35 AM I'm just getting intuit a little late, but I'm overjoyed, with an excess of whelm thrown intuit to boot, that you are as won with the powers that be and won with a bullet on the same charts that you leave uncharted to the anxious MudMasses waiting for it all to hit the fan club. Won is always a good thing, 'cause LOSE is actually the lonliest mumber no matter what they sing on the aforesaid charts. I wish you whelm and hope at least some of your won-ings go to a good charity and that your won-ing becomes a streak fast enough that it can even become a blur. We are thankful that you were in place to show your won, too, though you choose not to, no matter how we prize with a sense of affair play into your affairs. But sooner or later in your trek, you must learn Toulouse, so however you carryout your life, may you come upon a good fortune at the end. Buy, for now, as I must be also-running. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe (At a loss, once a gain) From: Severn Date: 23 May 07 - 07:46 AM A lass, at lassed you ceased to win in the mere time it took me to go to the loos. But at least you finished first in the Miss Fortune Pageant. The swimsuit competition clinched it! I offer a genuine hanky cleansed of all panky, virtual or otherwise, to help you absorb the blow. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Donuel Date: 23 May 07 - 08:47 AM good sometimes winning sucks At the trade convention all us reps were in our suits and ties and making fun of the hokey exhibits that a multi billion dollar corporation felt obligated to fund for funding's sake. Momentarily lluminated by a trick of the lobby skylight was the holy grail, the goblet of fire, the ordinary fishbowl, in which we were to put our business card in for the sweepstake giveaway. Some guys were stuffing all the cards they had into the bowl while I put in my single card, "Aw comon, what are you a loser?...Gowan put in a bunch..." Not to appear as a loser by design I drpped a small block of cards in the fishbowl. With plastic smiles pasted over bored faces the drawing finally drew near, "and our first winner is (reaching into the bowl and fumbling a momment) Donald Hackpaw !" WeHoo I won some cash but had to walk all the way up there and give a arm pump or two. Unbeliveable, this must be my lucky day. Our next winner is " umm (the guy smiley announcer whispers to someone , just a second here isthimencpfkrnt? sorry we picked up the same card, so he reaches back in the bowl and gives it a food twirl of two and comes out with the next card AND THE WINNER IS DONALD um...did amy of you put in more than one card? I started melting into the angry crowd the best I could. Outrage and jeers were beginning to boil. The announcer jerked his hamd back in the bowl with obvious distain and jerked out another card, looked at it and with exasperation said, "Is this some kind of joke" I was heading straght for an exit when I heard the announcer above the jeers say "I'm giving this one more try... I was outta there |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 23 May 07 - 09:48 PM That funny, Donuel! Oh yeh....I'm still winning. Janie |

Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Bill D Date: 23 May 07 - 10:19 PM Well, I'm glad....I am short of hankies and tissues right now...(It's been allergy season, and Fair Rita has been a snifflin') (Durn, Janey...I guess we oughta get you a winners trophy, engraved with some vague sentiment, but no date or details, since, like CIA winners, no one can know what you won.....still it's nice to have something on the mantle) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 23 May 07 - 10:33 PM Well Rita needs some good hankies, Bill. Some nice, soft, irish made hankies. And she deserves 'em. Don't be handin' yer fine lady no Puff's, or worse, Sam's Club paper tissues. Go on out and buy her something soft and nice and cotton, with handstitched edges. Yep, Rita deserves that, if anybody does. (By the way, give her hug for me, leaking nose or no!) So I understand. If I lose again anytime soon, I'll know why you ain't makin' no gentlemanly offers to give me somethin' on for which to dry my tears. That's ok. don't worry about me. I can tear a piece off'in the corner of a paper bag to wipe mine weepin' eyes. And the corner of my shirt-tail will do nicely to blow my nose. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 23 May 07 - 10:48 PM Note to self: do not reveal tuits while blowing nose on shirt-tail. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Bill D Date: 23 May 07 - 11:05 PM awww...shucks! I was peekin', countin' on seein' some tuits! Nice round ones... "That's ok. don't worry about me. I can tear a piece off'in the corner of a paper bag to wipe mine weepin' eyes." I suppose you'll just set there in the chimney corner, too...like you're used to... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hehehe From: Janie Date: 23 May 07 - 11:24 PM Gee, Bill, how'd you know? That boy must have some tuit after all! Couldn't a been nothin' I said to make him think that. Janie |
