Threadkiller Fantastic Fifteen
 

Fab 14 was way overdue, here is a fresh start with Fantastic Fifteen.

so here we go again.

Is this the freshman 15?

What is freshman 15?

Will the dude with the poem show up?:D Cuz it was too high level for this Mother Goose Poem kinda gal! :o

Freshman
 

Gary, are you telling me you were a freshman at 15 ?? I was a sophomore at 15 , so there.!!
Sorta reminds me of Jeff Foxworthy,
If you refer to the fifth grade as your senior year, you might be a redneck.

I turned 15 in January of my sophomore year....

But, the Freshman 15 I know about refers to the 15-lb gain many people have in college - going from an active high schooler eating mom's cooking to being a college student, eating at a dining hall, drinking beer, etc. :)

Especially drinking beer !

Gary will understand the drinking beer part!

So, if we are apart of this thread we will GAIN 15 lbs? Oh NO, so it ain't so!!

:)

I turned 16 in Feb. of my sophomore year...and yes...having 4 kids go through college here starting in 2000 I have heard all the freshman 15 stories...luckily it didn't hit my kids....but I think my nephew gained 10 in the NAVY this last year....fast fooder that he is....

It ain't so...says Gary...it ain't so!!! :)

Mary had a little lamb . . .

Either Bill is starting another poem or giving us someone's dinner menu....

I got $5 down says it's the latter....

Good morning fellow killers.

Yum! Lamb! With garlic, rosemary and port wine sauce.
It's too darn cold out there to drive for half an hour to get some.

Shucks, Lamb isn't on my list of acceptable foods. I need to change programs. Neither is the wine sauce.

15 . . .
 

Mary had a little lamb,
a little pork, a little jam,
an ice cream soda topped with fizz.
My g*d, how sick our Mary is!

. . . 485 to go.

.

Bill you are my hero!

I found some lamb sausage deep in the freezer but it's not the same.

Great moon tonight and it'll be full on the 31st. It's a Blue Moon month!

Bill, you are determined to give us some culture.

And I am determined to take it away....

And you are just the man to do it.

My up-bringing precedes me....

Freezing my butt off up here. The furnace ran out of oil and the techie just poured in some and ordered more. It sure takes a while to warm up from 10ºC. (That's 50ºF for the metrically challenged.)

warm blankets on the way RUTH....

Burrrrrrrrrr! How long til it heats up?

Bill? Please finish the poem!

taking back the blankets RUTH....checked the temp outside here....48 degrees!

Where is global warming when you need it?

Mary had a little lamb
the doctor was suprised;
but when McDonald had a farm,
you shoulda seen his eyes!

Thank you Bill! My day can begin! <big grin>

Awww. See what I missed being off line for so long!?? Awesome, Bill!

Was it my imagination or did OPERATOR sneak in here on the last thread?

Blue moon tonight although it'll be too snowy to see it. :lol:
There's a song cue in there.

I'll check my Neil Diamond collection Ruth...

let's see...red-red wine...

no that's not it...

oh :carrot: I know....:carrot:

Forever In BLUE Jeans :)

I'm antique, Gary, so try Ella Fitzgerald. It's an oldie written by Rogers and Hart.

Did you see me standing there...without a dream in my heart?

I am pushing antique....I know the song RUTH

don't have it in my collection but I do have Billie Holiday's version

>.<!
 

Wah! Florida is not allowed to be chilly! *shivers at her desk chair*

Florida is chilly?

Colorado is frigid.............

I suppose California is balmy. Shut up Gary.

Blue Moon
 

Good grief, all you youngsters, try the wonder boy from Memphis,

Is it a blue moon if you can't see it?

.

I'll have you know that I am still a member of the It's Cold Here Club...

the guage outside says it is 50.....

It gets cold in Northern California , too. Gary, aren't you amused when people from other states and countries learn that we Californians wear winter coats and actually have furnaces in our homes, not to mention a heater in the car ? And I have heard a rumor that some people, living in California use electric blankets !!!!

Along time ago....I heard that winter coats are made different for different parts of the country...I wonder if that is true, or is that a piece of info I have been carrying around for years and years and years.

Gary, I told you you could not be part of the It's cold here club.
Here in Amsterdam it is -1 C, that's 30 F, and with a wind force 6 Beaufort that gives a windchill that makes it feel about 16 F. That is a different kettle of fish from 50 F...
