      *Even the pump ? *salivating*

      1. doug_hubbard | Jan 04, 2002 05:35am | #3

        1. Stray_ | Jan 04, 2002 05:46am | #4

          *"1- drill press I forgot I had"Salivating myself...you taking offers?

          1. Luka_ | Jan 04, 2002 05:52am | #5

            *Not hide nor hair.Yeesh, with all them vergins to spare, seems you cooda thrown one er two of them in as well.Maybe I should be more keerful in whut I ast fer. Be yust my luck that you'd intend to send a virgin, and all I'd find when I opened the box would be the kick of the mule.b : )

            *antique handcrank Stray-came outa grampa's shop- I'm keepin' it...

          3. doug_hubbard | Jan 04, 2002 05:56am | #7

            *I got a tracking number- I'll check.no mules...hey dat's my new thing- not my fault no more- "No Mules!"no mules

          4. splintergroupie_ | Jan 04, 2002 06:16am | #8

            *Hey, Luka! I sent you a 2001 commemorative yo-yo, sage, etc. weeks ago and two emails to follow up--whassup?

          5. Luka_ | Jan 04, 2002 06:40am | #9

            *Drop me an email and let me know what the tracking number is.UPS is terrible here. If there is any way for you to ask them to make it so I have to sign for it now, (after the fact that you already sent it), please do. Otherwise, it will probably disappear without a trace. Seriously.United States Postal is much better here.And thanks Doug, for whatever it is. LOLb : )

          6. Luka_ | Jan 04, 2002 06:43am | #10

            *Huh ? I'll be checking the snail mail tomorrow. There are problems with my email at the new ISP. I also recently changed email software programs and I lost some in there. Sorry.A Yo-yo ? What am I supposed to do wit dat ? Conk the bear on the head, and hope he chokes on it before coming after me ?b : )

          7. splintergroupie_ | Jan 04, 2002 10:45am | #11

            *i What am I supposed to do wit dat ? Conk the bear on the head...That would imply some measure of control, wouldn't it?

          8. Luka_ | Jan 04, 2002 12:36pm | #12

            *ROFLMFAOControl over the bear, control over the yoyo, or control over my own muscles when faced by a bear ?I suppose I could just make some mountain roasted apples covered in ketchup and hope he likes them better than your dogs do, and that gives me a chance to run away.b : )

          9. Tesaje_ | Jan 04, 2002 03:47pm | #13

            *You are throwing the 7 virgins on the fire? Sheesh, I thought we were done with all that human sacrifice stuff. And the poor mule too. I suppose you're roasting him for dinner?;-)Mary

          10. Chris_B | Jan 04, 2002 11:11pm | #14

            *Is the mule a virgin?

          11. splintergroupie_ | Jan 05, 2002 03:05am | #15

            *Which muscles?BTW "pommes frites" is actually "french fries", because the "pomme" refers to a "pomme de terre" or "apple of the earth" meaning a potato. No one knows why the French won't say "potato", but it may have something to do with the Irish having a prettier language than even French. OTOH Apples in France are called "flying biscuits of tree" -no one knows quite why that is, but the word "pomme" was already taken and les Francais don't like to use foreign words except in emergencies.

          12. Luka_ | Jan 05, 2002 04:31am | #16

            *The ones what keeps me from having to put on some clean pants when and if I get away alive.As for apples and taters and cow pies in trees... look lady, I don't make up the words, I just reads 'em off the monitor.b : )BTW : Got the box. I love it when my house smells like sagebrush. Thank you. Them funny shaped candies tasted awfully waxy. And what was the string for ? I'm saving the bar of salad seasoning for the next time I actualy have a salad.Cool yoyo. A bit too light for me, but it works. Now if I can just find a bear. Had a big cat come up over the new porch this morning. Chased Rufus over under the cabin, barking his fool head off. I haven't counted the girls yet today, but I saw Patches this morning.

          13. splintergroupie_ | Jan 05, 2002 05:23am | #17

            *Glad it arrived safely. I thought maybe one of your neighbors might have been enjoying it..Did the candies tend to foam a little? ...yeah, mine too, made me burp a lot.Burpalot...Sir Burpalot...has a ring to it...

          14. Daryl(Newf)_Ferguson | Jan 05, 2002 05:45am | #18

            *...splinter... what's shaking???......n..

          15. Luka_ | Jan 05, 2002 06:21am | #19

            *Mule was a typo. He meant to say Male. And everyone knows there ain't a male alive that will adnmit to being a virgin.

          16. splintergroupie_ | Jan 05, 2002 12:43pm | #20

            *Bear in the kitchen doin' dishesCoupla cougar tuning their guitarsSome major action over in the sugar bowlI forgot to turn on the Christmas tree lights today...that's how to tell When It's Time.et vooooooooooooo?
