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

    (WARNING: There's joke potential there! DO NOT GO THERE!)

    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

    100 . . .
    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?

    Uhm...

    How do I bring this tactfully?

    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?
