I've been thinking of getting a life.

Getting a life is a good idea, Bill. They do take a lot of training though. The good thing is that they don't outlive you.

You won't find it here.

(Do you think Bill misses Gary?)

365 . . .
 

. . . 135 to go. Yay for numbers that are multiples of 5.


<sigh> . . . then why do I keep looking here? Perhaps I was Diogenes the Cynic in a previous life - back when I had one. He would have loved this thread.

I always get Diogenes mixed up with the guy with the dangling sword. Ya know? ... for all the times Diogenes comes up in casual conversation.

Don't tell him , but I miss Gary.

Gary is from California.

Quite.

how do you play this game?

So am I, is that a problem ?

Game ? This is not a game , we are dead serious.

It's lovely.

Glad you've joined us.

Long ago and far away, a thread started lamenting those times one is the last poster in a thread. That's the depth of the background.

Subsequently, it became a challenge to allow BillBlueEyes to post the 500th post in this series of threads. The idea was to boost his ego, male that he is. All users post - anything they want - up to post number 499. Then he swoops in and "wins." Everyone is happy. You may note that BillBlueEyes occasionally speaks in the third person.

To help the masses stay in line, the executive committee asked BillBlueEyes to formulate rules for posting. These appear, piecewise throughout the thread. We all love these rules and abide by them. They help to maintain order in what could appear to be a collection of pointless posts.

So jump right in. To test you, SOME people will post "opinions" that contradict what I've said. It's part of the game for you to ignore them. If you're really a normal, sane individual, you've probably wandered into the wrong corner of 3FC, but posting here can solve that.

Shut up, Bill!!!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Dear Ruthie
Happy Birthday to you
And many more !!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Dear Ruth!

I think Gary left so he wouldn't have to pitch in for Ruth's Birthday Gift.

Where's the ice cream and cake ?

Gary's back, let the rabblerousing begin !!

SHHH! BARGOO....they sleep in on the east coast.....don't wanna wake them before 9......

Um ... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We slept in here in the wilds of eastern Ontario. I didn't get up until a moose stomped on the tent.

OK, so no more chit chat about California. Apparently it costs $200 Million to be governor of that state and billionaire Meg Whitman still wanted the job.

Funny, here in Massachusetts after being governor folks leave office with more money in their bank accounts. Does that mean that Mrs. Schwarzenegger didn't know how to handle the egg money?

She sold her eggs? Fertilized or not? (It IS California and they are all nuts there, right?)

<sigh> . . . apparently the moratorium lasted a full 3 minutes.

We had a birthday party for you and you didn't come !!!!!:?:

I once went to an Eagles/Linda Ronstadt concert......

thought I walked into a Jerry Brown pep rally....

wanted my $$$ back....wink

but now.....

after feeling "Terminated"....

we have to deal with the guy that beats a Differnt Drum.....

I have seen his cartoon in the State Capitol in person....

This could get ugly....

or not...

Who let Gary back in? I thought someone was suppose to build a wall. Who messed up again? Geesh!

Speaking of seismic activity, there was an earthquake two of the first four times I went to California.


I am enjoying living in the only state in the USofA that doesn't have snow. I wore a long sleeve shirt out today and it was almost too warm.

Baby shower was a success for the ladies and the sports bar was the ticket for us guys!

Snow and record breaking cold up here. If you were planning to visit me, stay home!

Okay Ruth, I'll unpack my bags and wait for warmer weather.

Wake up ! It's Monday !

It's not Monday around here because it's a holiday for Martin Luther King day.

Tomorrow will be Monday.

Bill....word on the streets here is that your area says it isn't Monday today because trying to forget yesterday is just screwing everything up....

I wasn't shocked but I sure was surprised

Bill, just an update for you. California is a part of the United States and it is Martin Luther King Jr Day here, too.

400 . . .

Perhaps.

For now.
