Mad Matt

Been th' same place I was th' last time ye found me. 'ere 'n' there..... So. How U doin'? Care fer a drink? Tis pretty dry at this end o' th' bar.

So. I am aware of U.S. Naval history that has a ceremony for crossing the Equator, the International Date Line and the Greenwich Meridian. I assume that if it is Naval tradition, that other cultures must have something similar. Is there anything written detailing the history of this horseplay and that may give us a date how far back it goes?

Watching 40 Year Old Virgin while trying to do laundry, dishes and clean up the house. "Hey, hey, hey, muthaf%*&a!!!!!"

I could see that.... :)

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight........ Cinnamon rolls with rum ball chasers for breakfast?

Awwwwwwww....poor baby. I hope you fell forward into the snow and not backwards on the steps. Here, it's a big 53 degrees outside. No snow, no wind. Now, when I get off work at 0130 - that's a different story altogether!

I salute you, Jacky. Can you guess how many fingers I am using to do so?

As gay or corny as this may sound, I LOVE snowglobes. But dang it, I don't have any. I'm not neurotic in the I need to shake the little buggers up all the time, it's just that on some of them there is such intricate details. 3 dimensions, photographs and sculptures all rolled into one small piece of artwork. Maybe the same reason I like the whole "ship in a bottle thing". Sorry to run off-topic, Bess...... I shall flog myself later in the day. Or at least ask for volunteers...

bird had palsy, too

^ Yes. (Can I be any more vague? ) < Trying to figure out exactly HOW I'm going to study tomorrow without slobbering on my textbook as I fall asleep. v Since PiP is almost here and gone, where else would you take time off to visit during the upcoming winter? (I'd love a trip to a summer Australia, myself.)

I was permitted to sacrifice my body to the heathen gods of "Work" for overtime. This, just after I did the full-body massage thing. Think I'll be payin' fer that t'morrow. Errrrrr, is that t'day?

^ Think it was "Zamfir". Isn't that the guy who had the Pan Flute album? < Am sure going to be sore tomorrow for all the WRONG reasons.... v Besides piracy, what is your next closest infatuation?

I would say a soapy woman. But that takes the thread in a WHOLE 'NUTHER DIRECTION! :) Seriously, Lilith. Stay around a bit. There's plenty o' knowledge t' be found in this place. If there's not a thread on it, start a new one. Knowledge is power, eh?

Well, in Egypt you'll at least be closer to the ol' stompin' grounds of the Barbary Pirates. I believe they were more towards Libya, but they were terrors of the Mediterranean. Hope you have a good time - and good security. Jordan and Egypt (like lots of places in the Middle East) have a high number of terrorist groups. Safe journey, mate.

Hey! Who you callin' "Fruitcake"?!?!?!?!?

You little hussie! As if ye don't like men t' look..... Now if I gets t' starin' and droolin' on meself, THAT be a diff'rent story.

Mate, I've no allusions of departure. I was jest attemptin' t' clarify Ms. Chole's response. I, fer one, like our selection o' wimmins!

Pyrates check in, but they don't check out????
