That sound lovely. If it wasn't for the snakes, scorpions, spiders and other Texan fauna, I would invite myself along to help you paint things, Ricky. Alas, I am not fond of arachnids and snakes, though like cats a lot. So Im probably happier in Northern Europe, where the spiders are smaller, and the scorpions non-existent |

My father-in-law retired a while back after being with the same company for over 46 yars. Less than two months later he was knocking at my door wanting help in writing a resume to get another job. He was that bored (or just wanted to get away from my mother-in-law.)
So Mr. "I'm About to Retire", where will you be working next? Starting your own on-line bookshop? Designing Ricky's "trench warfare" constructions? Tending to ZeeZee's shum problem?Getting botox injections to play poker with Taylor and keep from"smiling" too much? |

Perhaps they could show up with pandas for all of the SHUMS. Mass acutelation just might be effective here.

that sounds like an excellent plan to me. nobody has ever been tormented by loud pandas, to my knowledge, except perhaps for the occasional sneeze, and i really think i could take that in my stride.
this may be the best idea yet. yo, shums ! resistance is futile !!! |

Cute they are, but did you notice the teeth and claws? (shudder)
Don't get on the bad side of a panda! |

In rebuttal to this I will only refer you to one of Leonard Cohen's songs - "The Future" and what its says about children. Besides I already made a suggestion to ZP. And in addition, the only French word I know (but can't pronounce) is m--de.
