Dutch is keeping us alive. What was the name of that little Dutch boy who stuck his finger in the dike?

That is a very silly story and it is written by an American!

That explains it then.
Good morning - afternoon in your case, Dutchgirl.
Try to keep the noise down today. My dog had a bad night and is trying to catch up on her zzzzz's. She got stuck under the couch tying to get away from a low-battery chirping smoke detector and is pretty tired. Poor thing is sleeping ON my feet which was not a good choice as I'm going to be outta here shortly.
Happy weekend!

Good Morning, everybody!
Operator, glad to see you back. I was hoping that you would at least be having too much fun to hang out here!
Now we just have to find the rest of the absentees.
I know EZ is around but he is just ignoring us

400 to go.
Of course Hans Brinker was real. I've been told that story all my life. Are you suggesting that my parents lied to me as a kid?

Remember what they told you about Santa Claus?

No, it was NOT Hans Brinker. He was the one with the silver skates. I bet Bill is relieved that his parents didn't lie to him - about that anyhow!
I guess I need to Google - I have no life!
So... http://www.pantheon.org/articles/l/l...dutch_boy.html
Looks like the story was included in the Hans Brinker story by an American.
Sheesh! We nearly had a topic! Gotta watch that.

Fun, what the **** does "Fun" mean?
Are you sure Hans didn't stick his finger in a pie?
At least he didn't have it up his nose. Speaking of which, where is EZ?
