Good Tuesday Morning, Crew! (R_A edition)

[Random_Australian]

That's right, R_A is desperate enough to start his own thread without Clintmax bieng present!

We gotta say good morning or it isn't morning!

I'm well, had a math test that I knew nothing about until that day yesterday,x( so I had to memorise the EVT, MVT, IVT, CMVT, Rolle's Theorum and some other stuff in 5 only five minutes,:crazy: and I got it done! :woohoo: How is everyone today?

Just one more day until hump day, crew, how is everyone coping?

And also: Please send vibes at Clintmax to ensure nothing untoward has happened!

Time to say good morning, Crew!

Edit: Pic

And Song of the day is "Canticle" By Simon And Garfunkel

AND CLINTMAX IS OK, Just had a rough day!

2. Good morning R_A

or to you it is Good evening!!!

Maybe you should start your own "Good evening" edition :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

3. Good Morning, Miss Honey!

How are you?

[MissHoneychurch]

7. I am fine but lazy

these days I seem not to get myself in the mood for work. I love my job, no question but there are days when I rather be everywhere else but work.

[Random_Australian]

11. Awwwwww, happens to all of us, sometimes.

Well, at least you like your job, which is something, but when the sun is shining & the birds are singing it sure is no day for work!

[MissHoneychurch]

18. sun shining????

Not here. The temps are around 50 degrees right now!! Can you believe that??? End of May and it is so fucking cold??? :mad:

[Random_Australian]

22. Wow! Back home they got the first frost, which eqauls

:wow::(:shock: , as this is the earliest frost EVER by almost an entire month!

No sun? That sounds good to an Aussie, so if you ever want to get so sick of the sun that you will love your weather, travel out here!

(And there is that pesky hole in the ozone layer.... scientists! When will they learn not to mess with the four basic food groups????:rofl:)

[MissHoneychurch]

28. I love the sun

we never have enough of that in Germany. And if it really works out and I move to London, the sun will be even less in my life. Ah what aren't we doing for love.

[Random_Australian]

31. Well, it is for a lovely, and I hear somewhat huggable, cause!

Like I said, if you want sun sometime, holiday here! ;) Now that I have finished plugging my country, I say no worries about England - it sounds like a pretty good place!

Might even go there sometime for more education, seeing as I won't be going to America :( sad to see, but meh, we live as we live.

How goes your country? Awfully quiet in the news of late......

[MissHoneychurch]

34. Enough news within Germany

there is a big debate going on right now about the rising of Neo-Nazis (esp. in eastern Germany) and the image of Germany during the World Cup. And a big debate about foreigners in Germany and their kids. Immigration problems etc.
Next year our sales tax will go up to 19% (right now it is 16%). That is gonna hurt. The politicians are looking for more and more ways to get more money on the expense of the people. Soon we will have no money left to spend beside insurance and retirement. And even then the retirement money will be not enough to live from.

[Random_Australian]

37. Ow! Nasty! Sorry to hear that. Good vibes for your country, then..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, how is pomland (England) going? Better, I hope, but it also has been quiet.... the world is on for an unpleasant 20-60000 years, I tell you that!

[MissHoneychurch]

38. You have to ask tj or billyskank about England

I think everybody is getting ready to invade Germany next week :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

40. Did I mention the war? I did but I think I got away with it! Don't mention

the war!

------------------------------
them: "well, you started it!"
Basil: "No we didn't, you're the ones that invaded Poland!"

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: Are you a fan of Fawtly Towers, Miss Honey?

[MissHoneychurch]

41. OH YES!!

I love the show. I am a fan of John Cleese.

My favorite show of Fawlty Towers is with the old lady who doesn't hear anymore. And when Basil first speaks with no voice and then when she turns up her hearing aid screams into her ear. Cracks me up every time :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

43. That is so awesome! Or the one where the rat, 'Basil' is loose in the

hotel, and the real Basil finds out; walks up to Polly, who is under the table with a bit of cheese calling 'Basil, Basil' - He calmly walks up and says "Yes?" and *thwack* of the tanle she's under jumping up - or that time when he was after the duck, and his car breaks down and he goes COMPLETELY BATSHIT at it, and starts hitting it with a stick, holy cow that show was funny! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

45. And how - if he gets lucky - and wins a horse race

and tries to keep the money but in the end his wife takes it all :rofl:

I just LOVE British humor. And John Cleese is the best :rofl: :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

46. YES! And he goes to all that trouble to get Manwell on side, then

"I know nothing"

:rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

50. Que?

Manuel: Que?
Basil: There is too much butter on those trays.
Manuel: No, no, no, Senor!
Basil: What?
Manuel: Not 'on- those- trays'. No sir - 'uno dos tres.' Uno... dos... tres...
Basil: No, no. Hay mucho burro alli!
Manuel: Que?
Basil: Hay... mucho... burro... alli!
Manuel: Ah, mantequilla!
Basil: What? Que?
Manuel: Mantequilla. Burro is... is...
Basil: What?
Manuel: Burro...
Basil: Manuel, por favor...
Manuel: Si, si...
Sybil: What's the matter, Basil?
Basil: Nothing, dear, I'm just dealing with it.
Manuel: He speak good... how do you say...?
Sybil: English!
Basil: Mantequilla... solamente... dos...
Manuel: Dos?
Sybil: Don't look at me. You're the one who's supposed to be able to speak it.

[Random_Australian]

54. And the kipper as a tie! Too funny!

[MissHoneychurch]

56. My brother has the DVD box

he is a big fan of that show as well.

[Random_Australian]

59. I only saw some on TV, lucky I have a good memory!

This was a lovely reminisce.

Have you ever seen Dead Ringers?

[MissHoneychurch]

60. No, never heard of it

tell me about it.

[Random_Australian]

62. New sketch comedy, featuring a number of people who are excellent

impersonators, of a range of political and other figures, and let me tell you, when you have seen Dr Who asking the cashier if they have change for Gallifrean Zonk, or Parkinson interviewing people at random in a bus stop, or Tony Blair inspecting some random guys trolley for WMD, then you need to learn to breathe again, it is sooooo damn funny!

[MissHoneychurch]

67. That sure sounds really funny

unfortunately the German humor or what is supposed to be it you can't call funny.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

4. Good morning, mate!

[Random_Australian]

6. Hail, Starbucks!

Good morning to you, Sir!

[Callalily]

5. RA you are just too much!

Anyway, have been already sending good vibes for Clint. I'm just hoping that he's decided to sleep in, which is what I did two days in a row. Can get real used to that! Ah to live the life a leisure, wouldn't that just be grand.

[Random_Australian]

8. Hail SF! Certainly would, man, certainly would!

Ah, so how goes the life of (hopefully at least some) leisure this Tuesday?

[Callalily]

16. Back to work

after having four days off. Not really feeling too ambitious. Maybe it'll be an easy day.

I can just hear Clint laughing up a storm when he sees that you've hijacked his morning thread!

Gotta head out for work, ick! L8r . . .

[Random_Australian]

20. Sure! Cya! I can't say he'll be too offput, as I have gone to some lengths

to copycat accurately. :D

Except it is difficult to speak like an American, and he knows the minutae of everyone's lives.....

[tjwmason]

9. Good morning Random

(despite the fact that it's not morning where either of us are) :hi:

Sounds like you had some 'fun' with the maths. I can't say that I lament the ending of my maths study.

:hug:

[Random_Australian]

13. Hail, tj!

Certainly right about the not morning :rofl: puts the crew thread in a whole new light, that does :).

Anyway, how goes England? Still suitably Merry?

And oh yes, math was fun alright. (Almost as fun as going bungee jumping with dental floss for rope, tied around the neck)

[tjwmason]

21. England is crawling towards lunchtime

on the first day back after a long-weekend...round here we could certainly do with an extra day for the week-end :eyes:

Where is the song of the day?

It's practically never that I've heard of them, and I don't listen to them - but you should still post one.

[Random_Australian]

27. Doneity done done! And the pic too! Mmmmm, long weekend...

What for the long weekend? 'Royalty declares random holiday' day :evilgrin:

Just kidding! Anyway, hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Did you like the song of the day?

[tjwmason]

51. The holiday wasn't for any reason.

It's just called the Spring Bank Holiday - it used to be Whitmonday (though this year that falls in a week's time), but it was moved to the last Monday in May and thus signifies nothing at all.

I don't know the song of the day - so it will do perfectly. :D

[Random_Australian]

58. Wow, so I am not alone in never knowing the songs, that is news,

and good news at that.

Well, I think they should call the holiday "National day of just like not working and sleeping and stuff, because that is like pretty good"

Or "National day of just like not working and sleeping and stuff, because that is pretty good" for short. :D

A national day of sleeping! :woohoo:

[tjwmason]

63. That's because I'm totally divorced from most of popular culture.

I'm listening to Vaughan-Williams at the moment - that's about as populist as I get.

I'd prefer we had holidays which actually mean something - I do remember getting completely drunk on Australia Day once (I was in Scotland at the time), having something to celebrate, however tenuously connected with onesself, makes for a reason to party.

[Random_Australian]

65. gotta get going, but I must applaud anyone who gets smashed on

Australia Day, fine work man, keep it up & I'll see you tomorrow!

[tjwmason]

66. Have a great evening.

See you tomorrow. :hi:

[Cannikin]

10. I'm here! Have a great morning everybody.

[tjwmason]

14. Good morning Cannikin.

:hi:

Despite the fact that we've chatted elsewhere already...

:hug:

[Random_Australian]

15. Hail, Cannikin! Hope you have a great morning too man, thanks for

the well wishing!

How goes the great greeter himself, this tues?

[Cannikin]

25. I'm still out of coffee. I'm trying to wake up.

[Random_Australian]

29. LOL! Yeah that can be pretty tough, I think even The Captain can

sympathise with that today - poor Clinticles! Anyway, the best thing to have if you've no coffee is an atomic bomb, I heard. You wouldn't have a spare one lying about, would you? :silly:

Good luck with the waking!

Any plans for the weeeeeekend so far away?

[riona]

12. Good morning

It's dry and sunny. We're parched here. Sounds like you have a truly mathematical mind. Wish it could figure out how to get me out of this chair and on to my EFX.

[Random_Australian]

17. So I go to all this trouble to counterfeit Clint, even down to copying his

responses in earlier editions, and not even a check in? *sniff* .... ok just kidding man! :7 How are you? What is an EFX?

[riona]

30. Fl check-in

There! I'm doing fine, Thanks. Nice to wake up without my usual headache. That gets old. Anyhow, an EFX is an elliptical trainer. It's so hot here, I prefer to do my workouts inside. Thanks for taking over for Clint.

[Random_Australian]

32. It's fine, any time! If you want the motivation, get up for something else

, like a glass of cool water, and then once you are up it is much easier! :) (R_A handy tip #90)

Usual headache? Oh no! Whatever is the matter? Well, whatever it is, good luck in dealing with it!

Anyway, good luck with the training!

(What is the time there btw)

[riona]

33. 8:02 a.m.

[Random_Australian]

35. 10:05 pm here. So, did you get any of those storms?

[riona]

36. No - we keep missing them

This particular area is weird.

[Random_Australian]

39. Ugh! I know the feeling - back home, storms would form, come crashing

across the landscape (we were on a hill, so we could see a long way), stop raining just before us, pass over, then keep raining. We could also pick out where we were from the one spot of the weather map that did not have any rainfall. x(

Is this your rainy season or what? why are there storms about?

[riona]

42. No, I don't think

it has officially started. They say the spring months are the dry part of the year, (I'm a New Englander so I'm no expert) but we're getting close to the "rainy season." Florida is one of those places that gets lots of thunder and lightening when it gets hot - and we hit 97 yesterday. Looks like we're in for a very uncomfortable summer.

[Random_Australian]

44. Well, at least it is not 120 yet, thank the (somethings) for small mercies

. I must admit to loooooooving me a good storm though......

Hope the condos nearby are well built!

[riona]

47. They're stucco

the roofs are nicely pitched. I haven't seen the inside of one. They put in some nice landscaping just before going condo. However, they aren't paying the proper attention to the newly planted evergreens and they are dying. I'm afraid that hand watering would be required because of the sprinkler watering restrictions.

[Random_Australian]

53. People and plants! What is the point of planting what you are not going to

take care of? Oh well, it does not suit me to judge, so, do you have a garden? Any greenery?

[riona]

68. The landscaping

is taken care of by our HOA fees. It's a small subdivision with three units/bldg. I have put in a couple of things and will probably do more if there are any "deaths." Mostly my "gardening" consists of lots of plants on my screened porch. Time for my housework. Yuck (did the EFX between posts).

[Minnesota Libra]

19. Good morning Random_Australian and it sounds like you...............

.....did good on that math test too.:bounce:

:hug: Clintmax,:loveya: here is hoping all is well on your end and that you're just getting some extra shut eye time.:grouphug:

:shrug: If anyone doesn't believe in global warming:banghead: they need only look at our record temps for this :patriot: Memorial Day:patriot: weekend. We had mid to high 90's :cry: the entire weekend and absolutely shattered some old records of 90 degrees on previous :patriot: Memorial Day weekends.

:hug:Be good to each other:yourock: and be sure to edumakate one of those neocon/fundie :puke: types to what's going on in the real world.:cry:

[Random_Australian]

24. Morning Minnesota! How goes life? Good?

I will have to pass up the convert a fundie thing - I seem to have run out down here. WHAT A SHAME.:rofl: Keeps me up at night that people are acting in a generally reasonable fashion, it really does. :) :wow:

I did do good in math! Thanks for asking!

Any plans for Tuesday, or just to survive until wednesday?

[Minnesota Libra]

23. CLINTMAX is all right - he had a rough day yesterday at the store.........

.....and was just getting some much needed shut eye.:grouphug:

:bounce: :loveya: :bounce: :loveya:

[Random_Australian]

26. YAY!!! GOOOO CLINTMAX!! Good good news! Thanks MinnLib!

[crispini]

48. Good morning R_A!

What, no Clintmax? Sheesh! Edit: Oh, good, he's ok, just read the thread! :donut:

[Random_Australian]

49. Good morning Crispini! How are you this fine tues?

At least Clint is ok, that is the main thing. Everyone needs a break now and then.

Thanks for the doughnut, but I think I'll skip on the coffee!:rofl:

Any plans or specail events for this tues?

[crispini]

52. Work, after a three day weekend YUCKY POO.

Oh well, it'll be fun to get some decent coffee and see the coworkers. :D

[Random_Australian]

55. Yep, that is something at least, and I bet you were able to catch up on

some sleep during the weekend. Lovely, are long weekends! Anyway, why only decent coffee when working?

[crispini]

57. The corporate latte machine.

Yes, I could always go to the coffee shop over the weekend, but it's much more fun when the latte is free and you have people to hang with. :P

[Random_Australian]

61. THAT, I must admit, sounds pretty awesome!

Mmmmm, free er, whatever it was. I heard 'free' and that was enough for me! :rofl:

Anyway, so this is a tuesday of fun & frivolity? Not quite? Oh well then; only one day until hump day, then a short time after that until the next weekend!

YAY!

[Random_Australian]

64. Time to get ready for bed, my crew!

I hope you have a great tuesday today and I, and hopefully Clintmax, will see you tomorrow morning! :bounce: Take care of each other! :grouphug:

[bigwillq]

69. Good morning!

:hi:

[tjwmason]

70. Good morning will.

:hi:

As always, a delight to see you around today.

[bigwillq]

71. Hey tj!

Good to see you too!

:hi:

It's beautiful here in CT! Sunny and close to 80 degrees already! I love it!

How was your weekend?

[tjwmason]

72. Good week-end here thanks.

Yesterday I met up with some friends - unfortunately this involved getting up at 6 a.m. :scared: but was a good time nonetheless. As always, the week-end wasn't quite long enough...

Did you do anything special yesterday?

[bigwillq]

74. I just hung out with the man.

We did some yard work then some house work. He made dinner and we just relaxed. It was a good day! :hi:

[wildhorses]

73. morning R_A

nite R_A ....it is my bedtime
