NEW Game

[Martinscholes]

1029, and back to work tomorrow. Ah, well!

We had snow in Shropshire last night. Quite deep, it was, too, but the torrential rain soon put paid to the cover of snow!:D

[jabo]

1030
I need a longer vacation, longer that 2 days, well, wait, its not vacation, it was just weekend....guess that is better than going on a longer one(loosing a job)

[ctabuk]

1031 Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat. Yeah, the bloody thing found the freezer open and ate all our Christmas goodies.

[Dubbya]

1032 - Rotten geese, always eating the Christmas goodies. The same thing happens at my house.

[ctabuk]

1033 I actually caught it doing it. It replied - 'I was only taking a gander'

[jawn_tech]

1034

At which point ctabuk said, "nice try. Now your goose is cooked."

[WickedGoddess]

1035-- my tummy is aching.. I'm not hungry tho:(

[incrediblehelp]

I might as well get back in 1036

[ctabuk]

1037 Welcome from the artic north - I am sitting in my metal tub, having a bath in the artic circle. That's better. I see a penquin, Penquin suit on, microphone ready 'Good Morning Mr Penquin, what are your views on the Global Warming theory?

[jfrizelle]

1038.

How long should a turkey last in the freezer? A few weeks? I put one in last night and it was dead this morning....

:D

[jabo]

1039

^^^lol, never heard of that one before...

[ctabuk]

1040 - Cor, that's going to be a sod to gut. You need the book 'GobbledeDuck' by 'Happy Donald'

[Dubbya]

1041 - Now for the joke du jour...

"May I take your sunday lunch order?" the waiter asked.

"Yes, but first I'd like to know how do you prepare your turkeys?"

"Nothing special sir," he replied. "We just tell them straight out that they're going to die."

[ctabuk]

1042 - LOL - I always liked the Paul Gasgoine joke. Gazza was in France at an open air restaurant the waiter said
'Would you care for an expresso?'

Gazza replied 'No, I don't read that crap, nay tits in it'

[SIA]

Guy walks into a bar......he needed 1043 stitches.

[jabo]

1058

[TrafficProducer]

1059 "I am thankful that I'm not a turkey."~

I'm thankful I'm not a Google pigeon (http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html) :)

Mmm, penguin. Tastes like chicken. Yes but, penguins' are too hard to catch :)

[ctabuk]

1061 - Greetings. And now for my new number one hit 'The moon was yellow, and her teeth were too'

[jfrizelle]

1062

Speaking of penguins...

There's a fast-food takeaway near when I live called 'The Penguin' and their burgers are lovely - but when someone who doesn't know The Penguin hears me talking about delicious penguin burgers they always look horrified... :-D

[ctabuk]

If Nell Gwynne had a sister named Penny - she'd be known as Pen Gwynne

[jfrizelle]

1064

I was introduced to a guy called "Oh No Hair" at a convention - the guy doing the introduction was a friend of Mr. No Hair so I thought it was some kind of a private joke. Then I noticed the name tag - Owen O' Heir.

[ctabuk]

1064 My wife used to work with a guy named Phil Dyer - he answered his phone 'Dyer Here' :D

[jabo]

^^hey you doubled 1064
1066


im off to a long night of travel.. see you guys..

[ctabuk]

1067 Opppps Safe trip

[TrafficProducer]

1068;;; (1064x2=2128) 8)

When you get back the count could have jumped :)

[Dubbya]

1069 - All the numbers, counting, complex computations, counting errors and corrections brings the following (true) story to mind:

Shortly after we'd moved into our last house and set up a new phone number, it came to a point where "wrong numbers" were becoming a real pain. Instead of the standard, "Sorry, wrong number", I decided to take an alternative approach.

"Hello?", I said.

"Hayyyeeee, is Mary home?", the guy asked in a raspy drawn out tone. It seemed pretty obvious that he was well on his way to inebriation so I thought I'd ad lib and make the most of this seemingly golden opportunity.

"Naw, she's out walking the dog. Should be back in about 20 minutes", I said.

"Sheeez walkin the dawg? You guys got a dawg? Whut kind didja get?", he slurred.

"I got tired of listening to the ol' girl whine about it, so I took Mary down to the Humane Society and picked up a German Shepherd. She's two years old", I replied.

"Aw, I love dogs", he said.

"Yeah, she's a sweetheart, smart too! Best part is that now that she's got a dog, the ol' girl's not bugging me to go for walks anymore", I laughed.

I waited a few seconds while he recovered from a fit of "smoker's cough" caused by his respondent chuckle. "Yeah, ha-ha-ha, well at least they're gettin some excercise!", he sputtered.

"Hey, it's been a while, how about you pick up a box of beer and pop in for a drink?", I asked.

"Thassa good idea! I'll see yuz inna bit", he said.

"Don't bother knocking, just walk right in. We'll be waiting for ya." I said.

"Hokay, cool!" he said and hung of the phone.

My wife walked in midway through the conversation and seemed a little miffed when I hung up. Hands on hips, one eyebrow jutting up ominously, she launches into a diatribe.

"Why would you invite someone over without talking to my about it first? Can't you see that the house looks like a cyclone hit it? I'm running my @55 off, we've got a million things to do today and now you've invited one of your buddies over so you can sit around drinking beer all afternoon? Who the heck was that anyway?".

I was laughing so hard tears were rolling down my cheeks. The stupefied look on her face was priceless when I told her it was a wrong number.

[jawn_tech]

1070

That's probably one of the funniest pranks I've ever heard. Definitely in my top ten list. Nice one, Dubbya! :p

[TrafficProducer]

1071 I'll pop in for that promisted (slurd speach), drink tomorrow. (Hic-Hic-hic)

[Dubbya]

1072 - No problem, Don't bother knocking, just walk right in. I'll be waitin' for ya!

[Tubby]

1073

all the guys at the pub took turns to phone "hello is Angelelne there"
At the end of the queue using phone was the single girl. when she rang she simply asked. "Hello this is angeline, were there any messages for me"

[TrafficProducer]

1074... I'll give it a Miss, hic-hic, the dog may bite me... hic hic hic

[ctabuk]

1075 Classic:D:D:D

[Martinscholes]

1076.

I have a very, very nice colleague whose surname is Vile. She'd only been there a while when a client phoned in and needed to take her surname. She said: "It's Vile." His reply was: "I don't care how vile it is, just tell me what your surname is."

Her reply? "I am sorry, but that is my surname. Vile. V..I..L..E.."

Apparently he spluttered for several seconds! :D

[jawn_tech]

1077

I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if we reached 2009 by Jan 1st...?

[ctabuk]

1078 Yup, we can do it.

[jabo]

1079
hello guys, im back, how are you all... had fun this weekend?^^we can, maybe a few more months, or years.lol

[ctabuk]

1080 - Too bloody cold to type - Brrrrrrr

[jfrizelle]

Bloody freezing here too. Took me 1081 cups of coffee to warm up!

[ctabuk]

1082 That's a lot of caffeine, you should get us to the million mark within the hour.

[AMAmanda]

1083 lalalalala

[Dubbya]

1084 - Can't guess what's in store.

[ctabuk]

1085 Phone Father Christmas and see if he knows.

No, really. I did... LOL

Hi,

I live in Lincolnshire, UK and I l want to play guitar like my hero Jimmie Hendrix. He's awesome!

I've been good all year and always try my best to help others as much as I can. I've always wanted a Voodoo Stratocaster Guitar just like the one that Jimmie used.

Mum says you're very busy making presents for all the girls and boys right now but if you can find the time, please kindly ask one of your elves to work on my present.

I'd be ever so thankful for whatever you give me but all I really want is the Voodoo guitar or one just like it.

Daddy says you'd prefer a nice pint of lager to just plain old milk and cookies but Mum says no. She says you'd never drink and drive but Daddy says you wouldn't have to if one of the elves will be your DD, whatever that is. He says we need not worry because the reindeer know where they're going anyway.

Please be sure to let me know which you prefer and I'll do my best to have it waiting for you.

I promise I'll continue being good even after Christmas and that I'll be fast asleep when you arrive.

Your friend,

David.

Dear Santa: can your elves register on WPW to help us count to 2009 by the year 2009? That's coming up on January 1st, as you know.

Hey I have an Epiphone electric guitar -- though I'm not much of a guitarist.

It's an Epiphone. Actually piano / keyboards is my thing.

[WickedGoddess]

1090-- First to reach the 2nd 90's :)

[ctabuk]

1091 All I am going to say is that Dubbya and the rest of the 'countdown' posters remind me of how it used to be here in the breakroom, many thanks and early Seasons Greetings.

[jabo]

1092- advanced happy holidays as well... I wish it would be Christmas soon, though its not the same Christmas as before, we would be celebrating it without Grand Pa, it sure would be fun to be with the family.

[Dubbya]

1093 - Jawn_Tech, I think I've found the perfect gift for you! Think of all the fun you'll have!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v696/Booticon/keytarhero1.jpg

Ooh! And you'll look great in this awesome T-shirt!

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t91/michelledr/CWP001_LG1.jpg

Sorry, no returns!

[ctabuk]

1094 Cool - Think of the fans Jawn will get at his first live concert.

We got loads of Booze at ours! ( I may have mis spelt Booze)

[Dubbya]

1095 - Keep the dream alive.

[jawn_tech]

1096

Ok if anyone wants to see the band I've been playing with the last year and a half, check out the myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/x7project)... I'm the guy on the far right hand side.

Sadly, I've had to bow out as of late because of not having the availability anymore. So you can see me while I'm still up there.

[Dubbya]

1097 - *Squeal! Tee-Hee.. can I be your groupie??
http://www.myemoticons.com/emoticon-critic/hug-and-kiss/images/heart_glasses.gif

Being a responsible adult sucks. It takes the spontaneity out of life. I'm sure you enjoyed the heck out of it while it lasted though. Good for you!

[ctabuk]

1098 You should have stuck with it mate. I liked Eve - Good production:D:D:D

[jabo]

1099

what are you're plans this Christmas guys? planning to have a little vacation or a road trip or a dinner with someone special?

[ctabuk]

1100 My wife Leslie and I close the business for three weeks at Christmas. We go to Christmas fairs in Lincoln, Boston, Stamford. Log fires, loads of old movies, crash out time.

[frost]

1101

Christmas is looking like a lot of family this year :)

[Dubbya]

1109 - Christmas is a fine time to dine.

Triple One Zero - I feel like a binary number! I think thats 14...

[ctabuk]

1111 Legs eleven twice - So I went up to this beautiful girl and said. Censored.

[Dubbya]

1112 - Did you actually say "Censored"? The look she must have given you!

[SIA]

1+1+1=3 Hope nobody minds me getting creative with these, it's the only way I will be able to keep going. lol

[Dubbya]

33.3766385 * 33.3766385 = 1114

No worries, just so long as you're counting.

1115 Good Morning World - And welcome to a sunny day in freezing England - now is the perfect time for that barbecue that you put off during the monsoon season. Put on your bathing suits and get out there in the snow:D

[Tubby]

1116 father Christmas walked into one of the workshops full of Elves making guitars. "how many Elves are in here" he shouted,
"1116" answered an Elf
"Chop the heads of every elf over 6 foot tall" said Santa "then come and tell me how many Elves are left"

"1117" came the reply a few minutes later. "and one Gnome"

[jabo]

1117 hello guys, happy friday... its TGIF, what are you all up to? time for a nice party

[SIA]

1118 Getting ready for a weekend of breath holding. Got our birthing class tomorrow, but the wife has been miserable as our baby has been getting ready to get out of her dark cave. Wondering what the chances are that while in her all day birthing class, the inevitable will happen. Taking all bets. Her due date is the 12th.

[Dubbya]

1115 Good Morning World - And welcome to a sunny day in freezing England

They're warning us of -37C windchill tonight. That's with a low of -23C with a 40-60km/h wind.

It's always a treat when you're tooling down the highway at 100km/h and the engine coolant/antifreeze in the radiator turns to jelly.

[WickedGoddess]

1121-- Yep, I counted ^^^

[ctabuk]

1122 Greetings to you all. Well it's another unique day in England. At 3 am 56 guys and gals took over Stanstead Airport - It was a protest against Global Warming. They cut down the steel fences and no alarms went off. That really helps us fight real terrorists:rolleyes: - The police arrived and it was all 'Hello Mate, saw you at Gatwick last year' Yes they did it there too, and Nottingham.

The British - sometimes I despair. We are an Island how else do international travels take place. Or do they ALL take their holidays in England???? Somehow I doubt it.

[jabo]

1123
^^did you also went out to protest or something? lol...

[ctabuk]

1124 Yeah, I protest about protesters :D

[Dubbya]

1124 Yeah, I protest about protesters :D

[Dubbya]

1128 - Mmmm... Thanks for the Christmas cake Ctabuk...Any Rum in there?

Hang in there SIA, the first one is usually late. Must be a girl!

[Martinscholes]

1129 and counting!

Very busy at Christmas.

My online Christmas magazine, That's Christmas, is -as you'd expect!- very busy at this time of year. I'll be working at it right up until late Christmas Eve. Then I'll pop next door to my Lithuanian mate and we will drink my Vodka (Bison Grass, this year, Snow Leopard last year!) and his lager and eat Lithuanian Christmas food! :D

[Sadr]

1130 Next!

Merry HO HO!!

[AMAmanda]

1148- Merry Christmas everyone

[ctabuk]

1149 And a merry little yuletide to you to. Just think, right now up in darkest Lapland - Santa and all his little helpers are doing up the presents for the millions of waiting kids. I hope he ignores all those with plenty and gives only to the sick and needy. Now wouldn't that make a change.

[Dubbya]

1150 - Busy as he is, I don't know where Ctabuk finds the time to write or play guitar, much less dance.

Dance, you say?

See for yourself (http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/view/oqfkiZPZ61lzXsuIa489)

[SIA]

1151 Last year I bought a Christmas Tree that has everyone cocking their head to the side like a dog hearing a strange noise. It's an artificial palm tree with evergreen branches. Brought it to my office and it sits next to me with a plush lobster (a soft stuffed crustacean) on top. Everyone who knows me laughs and says that it defines me perfectly.

Wait.....is that supposed to be a compliment?

[Martinscholes]

1152! My, how time flies when we are having fun! Only another 29.whatever years left, and our task is done! :D

[Sadr]

1153! What task are you refering to Martinscholes? Just wondering.

[ctabuk]

1154 That took some searching Dubbya, by memory it's in my images at Google file, TNash meets me. HeHe

how about some help guys for some Kris Kringle gift exchange... whats something blue and sexy that only costs $1

[ctabuk]

1156 A secondhand condom ? Good job it's Christmas :D:D:D

[jabo]

1157
lol... and I'm gonna give it to my office mate? at the office. mmmmm, seems like a good idea

[Dubbya]

1158 - I'm always in deep trouble... Which reminds me, our 13th wedding anniversary is in May.

[ctabuk]

1159 Yes and you've made me soooo happy :D

[Dubbya]

1160 - That's just because I do as I'm told. Thanks for teaching me to listen. May I prepare a sandwich for you?

[ctabuk]

1161 Oh Boy, what will people be thinking. Yes, please prepare sandwich for me, the 5th Green needs rolling, and the winter tees on the 9th need setting forwards.

http://www.golflink.com/golf-courses/course.aspx?course=1799756

[Dubbya]

1162 - Yes m'lord. I'll have it done by the end of the day.

Oh, lunch is served. Mustard and a pickle with your Pastrami on Rye?

[ctabuk]

1163 - Mustard sounds good. In fact in his famous speech on why he killed Professor Plum in the conservatory with a pastrami is an all time classic. I birdied the 5th, hit a pigeon in mid flight.

[jabo]

1164
once again its TGIF
than god its friday, can't wait for the holidays. hopefully, this would be one holiday that I would enjoy

[ctabuk]

1165 Surely it's almost Saturday where you are.:D

[jabo]

1166
yes, its about 3 hours to go before saturday, 30 minutes to go before parties, and a few more days for the holidays.

[Dubbya]

1167 - Roast pigeon for supper then?

[Chris]

You all haven't even broke 2000 yet? Come on now. ;)

1168

[Dubbya]

1169 - Feel free to keep posting. We need all the help we can get.

[SIA]

1170 Wife had to pull the watch out last night to start timing the contractions. Sadly it backed off by bed time. I know what I want for Christmas, and I want it Early. lol

[Dubbya]

1171 - Hang in there SIA.

Bear in mind that the expected "due date" is little more than a "best guess" based on experience. My wife went through false labor for 3 days before they finally induced her.

Just make sure you get plenty of sleep before the baby comes. If you're like most parents, you probably won't sleep for the next 20 years. ;)

Don't forget to bring a good book to the hospital with you.

[jawn_tech]

1172


You all haven't even broke 2000 yet? Come on now. ;)



I was hoping we'd get the number to 2009 by January 1st.

How ya been Chris?

[ctabuk]

1173 Keep posting guys it's nearly Christmas 2098

[AreWeThereYet]

1174 - do you guys think we will make 2k by Jan 1?

Would be good haha

AreWeThereYet ;)

[jawn_tech]

1175

Keeping the count alive

[AreWeThereYet]

Oh go on then, I can do another 1176

[Martinscholes]

1177! Whoo-hooo! :D

Sadr, we are counting to 1,000,000! ;)

[ctabuk]

1178 Greetings everybody.:mrgreen:

[spiderbait]

1179 - Let's keep it rolling.

[AreWeThereYet]

1180 - Can't fault you spider :)

AreWeThereYet ;)

[spiderbait]

1181 - that's good, since I live on a fault line.

[jawn_tech]

1182

But is the line faulty. That's the true question.

[AreWeThereYet]

1183 - Lets hope not for spiders sake huh?

[spiderbait]

1184 - more than likely that it's my logic that's faulty.

[jawn_tech]

1185

You could test it by serving a tennis ball over the line, and see if you get a double fault.

[jabo]

1186
hello guys how are you all doing?
don't ask me, I'm in pain.. huhu... I'm never gonna play badminton that long again..

Something is very fishy because I did read an online article about that today. I just went back to get the link, and the article is no where to be found. I'm pretty sure it was MNSBC.com. CNN may have also had it, but I'm not finding it there either. They are the only two news sites I read during lunch.

1213 - Looks like Vegas is the place to go if you're looking for a white christmas...

http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/54354/thumbs/s-LAS-VEGAS-SNOW-large.jpg


The ongoing snowstorm has stopped flights from landing or leaving at McCarran International Airport, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

"No planes are departing for Las Vegas from anywhere in the U.S. right now," said FAA spokesman Ian Gregor.

Gregor said the airport doesn't have snow removal or deicing equipment, which means there's no way for snow-covered planes to leave safely.

"The forecast is not looking particularly promising for anybody who wants to fly into Las Vegas," he said.

[AreWeThereYet]

seems like we just making up the numbers - haha

[Martinscholes]

1222

You know you love it - Martin :)

I, do, I do!

However, got 1 1/2 days in, as my wife decided we and a friend were going to the Frankfurt German Christmas Market in Birmingham.

It was great fun. Lots of German food and beer on sale. We ate Frickadeller, fried sliced potatoes and fried mushrooms.

Then went into Wetherspoons by the Central Library for refreshments. I had a pint of Titanic Stuff it! (cranberry and chestnut flavour beer) and Santi Freeze, another Christmas ale.

The number is 1225.

Which time it will be in 11 minutes time!

[jabo]

1226
well, here it comes, Christmas...
I don't know which one I am more excited with though, Christmas or vacation off work..lol

[ctabuk]

1227 Happy Christmas to you all. ENJOY!!!

1228 Merry Christmas to you too CTA, and everyone else. Wife is going to be induced today at 2pm PST. So next time I log in I will be a very tired new Dad. So MERRY XMAS ALL.

[Dubbya]

1229 - Good Luck SIA!!

[jabo]

I think we are on 1237 now? I am a little confused!

[jawn_tech]

I think we are on 1237 now? I am a little confused!

Me too but you're right. At least that's what your post should be counting from the top of this page.

So this post would be 1238.





I know we skipped a few along the way, (this is post 1212 in the thread, and somehow the count got up to 1238 but when we get close to a million, what's a few miscounts or two.

[Martinscholes]

So, full of Christmas good cheer I bid you a happy 1239! :)

[jawn_tech]

Happy Boxing Day everyone!

this is about the same time last night when my bed hit my head and sent me to my very lovely spinning dream...

[SIA]

12:43am Is when the wife's water broke. 3:35pm the world's next great marketer was born. So I had a Merry Christmas with my wife and our new baby girl Lily Marie. I think today was the hardest day of my life, having to get up and come to the office.

[Dubbya]

1244 - Congrats SIA!

[SIA]

1245 Thanks Dubbya. Yeah, I can't believe it, but dang if she isn't beautiful. I'm not saying that because I am biased. I was telling the wife that if she was ugly I wasn't going to subject anyone to her pictures. But even the nurses came up to me and said she was the cutest baby on the floor for the week.

[jawn_tech]

1246

Enjoy these years, SIA! There may be some sleepless nights, waking every two hours to feed / change, as I'm sure you know by now. But those are the things you'll forget because all you'll remember are the milestones. First tooth, first word, first crawl, first step...

It goes by way too quickly.

Congratulations!

:D

[Dubbya]

1247 - I remember all my kids' milestones...


Baby's first exposive diaper
Wife's first "I'm a bad mother" crying jag
Baby's first trip to the hospital with a fever
My first ruined shirt
First time I got peed on
First time she poked me in the eye
Baby's first fall down the stairs
Baby's first trip to hospital for stitches in her forehead
Baby's first trip to the litter box for a snack
First time Daddy child-proofed a house
First time Daddy couldn't figure out how to open a childproof cabinet lock
First time Daddy broke a childproof cabinet lock
First time Daddy replaced a childproof cabinet lock
First time Daddy retrieved a toy from the toilet


Yeah, good times...

[jawn_tech]

1248

Dubbya -- you have kids? You don't look old enough to have kids. Good for you, way to keep your youthful looks and good shape.

One thing I'd like to add to the list:

All the things that came with "some assembly required"

and,

"batteries not included".

[Tubby]

1249
or the ones where your son puts the toy aside and simply play with the box...

[Dubbya]

1250 -


You don't look old enough to have kids.

It's probably just the hat that's throwing you off.

Where kid's toys are concerned, "Batteries not included" is usually a blessing in disguise.

[Martinscholes]

1251.

Congrats on the kid! Many happy Christmases to you and your family, SIA! :D

[emma2007]

1252

Happy new year to everybody. :)

[Dubbya]

1253 - Yippee!

Guess it's time to pay the bills then crack open a new set of books for 2009.

Be careful but have fun everyone!

[SIA]

1254 Thanks everyone. Happy New Year. Looking forward to all the milestones.

[Dubbya]

1255 - Don't drink and drive!

[Martinscholes]

1256! With every post we are closer to our destination! :)

[jawn_tech]

1257

Well we didn't get to 2009 by today. But for sure we'll get to 2010 by next year.

BTW, only three more years until Olympics in London. I've started a piggy bank for my plane tickets.

[jabo]

1258
hello guys, this would be my first post for the new year...:D

[Dubbya]

1259 - You know Jawn, if you double the amount of loose change you're depositing in your piggy bank, I can get plane tickets too.

[jawn_tech]

1260!


1259 - You know Jawn, if you double the amount of loose change you're depositing in your piggy bank, I can get plane tickets too.

Sounds good. You can just deposit the doubled loose change to my paypal account at ain't-happening@paypal.gov.

1264 Hi Everyone!! Happy NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year everybody.

Whoops. I meant 1265 ...

[Martinscholes]

1267, like I said before, even closer to the target! :D

1268

We'll get there in no time. Does anyone need to stop and stretch their legs?

[dmwcons]

1269

It’s -7C (19.4F) outside: too cold to fix the ridge bonnets to the roof of the project; too cold to apply silicon sealants to a couple of joints in conduit runs from house to project; too cold for gluing of joints in any outstanding woodworking; fingers get too cold too quickly for efficient use of time on first-fix of electrics. Also, the temperature means it’s too cold to wash the van. The household accounts are up-to-date. Clients have been in bed since the pre-Christmas office parties, hence no e-mails to which to concern myself. Live test cricket on Sky has just finished for the day. It’s too soon for my second coffee of the day. So, some time in hand to put my mind to good works … another number perhaps?

[jabo]

1270
how much coffee do you drink in a day anyways?

[ctabuk]

1271 Two cups

[Dubbya]

1272 - so cold I don't know what to do.



1269

It’s -7C (19.4F) outside

LOL.. -7°C??? That's like a mild spring day around here!

We enjoyed a balmy -34°C on the drive in to work in Winterpeg this morning. Could hardly see the car in front of you for all the exhaust fog. Took an extra 1/2 hour to get to the office.

It wasn't as bad years back but now that they add 10% alcohol to the gas, it creates so much more steam (water) when it burns.

[dmwcons]

Four cups, and a fifth when I am due on the ergo.

Good grief. I cannot begin to imagine what it must feel like trying to move around at that sort of temperature. You must be made of very resilient stuff.

Mine is 1276.



And as for coffee, I just save time and go straight for the caffeine tablets.
