1 divided by 8 = 1/8

LOL! You know the old saying, "If it smells good, eat it."

Funny story: Last evening, watching Samantha Brown: Passport to China on Travel Channel. She was touring the Sichuan panda center, and Tim kept going, "Ah, look how cute." I got tickled and told him he had been acutelated by the pandogres. Then followed a long explanation... HA!

[QUOTE=pshrynk;226273]We can tell one another well enough to not acutleate someone already acutleated. Which should be the actual new word used to search on Ask.com, just to avoid confusion.

What's 1/8 of a man, like a hand or something?

And where's my chocolate this morning? I really need something good to help me make it thru one last day here. By Fridays, I am usually just a hairsbreadth away from walking out of here and never coming back. Only 4 more years, only 4 more years, only 4 more years.....

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

Of course. Don't you notice how the stripes run in different directions? And heres another question. Why do I insist on logging on here when I know I've only got a certain time before I must get ready to go places? Now, I'm late, the shower must be forgone, and no one will like me because I smell bad. 'sigh.

Barcey · 08-01-2008, 10:52 AM

I'm sorry. It has to be day/month/year or year/month/day ... unless you use minute:hour:second to be consistent. whoops it's 51:9:45 got to run!!!

btw pshrynk, I loved that eclipse in Siberia. We were able to kick 20 groins and they didn't even see us coming.

GeoffC · 08-01-2008, 11:01 AM

1/8th man, 7/8th panda. What's interesting or surprising about that? Amazing things those pandaborg laboratories. (Messy to have to escape from, tho').

Well, not until after several drams, and then I get them wrong.

Heaven only knows what information is being smuggled about by the Pandaborg. Won't suprise me if it is the secret plans to montsnmags latest re-education toy.

20080801, and I use a 24 hour clock as well.

Just in case anybody wonders (not that any of you will), I won't be here much over the next (probably two ... maybe three) few weeks. It turns out that there are no handymen for hire within several hours drive from here, so it is going to fall to me, by myself, to tackle several two-man jobs (including a lot of heavy lifting, and digging a 400 foot long trench -- Ive got to purchase a pickaxe today).

I have a sneaking feeling that I'm just going to be too tired to play with all of y'all, much less to debate silly questions like "Sony vs. Kindle ... which is more likely to be elected President of Panama in 2015??"

Heavens ... I'm getting cranky just thinking about how tired I'm going to be.

I don't believe that Panama has a presidential election in 2015, so Kindle.

That follows logically, of course.

Can you rent a ditch witch instead of digging the trench by hand?

No ... I wish I could, but I can't. I have to be a little circumspect about digging this thing ... no heavy equipment that might be "noticed." Yeah, I know, how do you dig a "secret" 400 foot trench?? (The answer is mostly at night and very carefully.)

I bought a soaking hose today, which I plan to use to really soak the areas where I have to dig. I'm hoping it will make the process easier. Really hoping. Luckily the trench doesn't need to be all that deep.

A secret trench?!

My lips are sealed. I won't tell a word.
