Like, the ones in a wax museum?:laugh3: I understand - I've had it with certain "roosters" as well.. Hmm.. what really grinds my gears? Oh, lots of things! Biggest ones are the myopic egotists - I guess the fake people would be one of their sub-chapters.;) Power hogs could come in a close second..

But you live in Beautiful, Exotic Chile!! :):angel::elf: And it's sum-sum-summertime!! :sunny: I are so confused!

Wow, public - private messaging!:laugh3: I can look on the weather satellite thingy for jolly old England, if you like??;) Oh, for it to be summer now.. that's like a dream! Here it's a lovely -7C (20F) with an equally stunning overcast sky at sunset..:dozey: The family tradition on New Year's Eve was to take out the old rifle ( an ancient 25-35, probably used by Anne Okley), fire one off into the night sky, and drink a little bubbly. I had to quite the first, since the bullet usually lands somewhere, and we have oodles of new homes (it used to be very rural). That could be a bad 'ting.;) But the bubbly? I've got some cherry wine - au natural, so it should suffice! What do you do, Lore??:)

OOoo, those are some very blues ones! For me, it would have to be: i. Moses:) ii. Highspeed:cool: iii. Trouble:)

And David saves the day!:builder:

Hello Laura! I'm so happy you have joined! I think their music, and equally so their causes, are simply the best. You know, it really is amazing - everyone's from all over, yet we're relatively familiar - one happy planet of creative, um.... human beings!:hat: (pardon me - but you might have missed alias day, where everyone who partook was someone else / or something else!:laugh3:) Hmm. Sub.Bionic? I'll have to have a listen later! And your English is better than mine, so don't worry! Besides, I have barely a grasp of Spanish, so you're way ahead! cc: Links - that's not my strong suit, but I'm almost certain you can get help here. If they're non-functioning, the techmasters should be able to help. Well, Happy New Year Laura, and good luck in your quest!!:) Sincerely, Chuck.

Modest mouse is good! Quite the dream-scape in the one video..:hat:

Coldplay's Christmas tune - I got the old sleigh bells off the walls, and had fun jingling along to the tune!!:elf:

Sunshine Land Oh what the hey! I'll sleep later.. It's summer in Argentina, according to my recollection of planetary science.. I'm spending my last days of 2007 replying to cards, and spending oddles of time on this board:laugh3:. (and watching videos on YouTube, and getting firewood from the woodshed..) And you?? :) (& gosh, I so wish it was summer here! You are so lucky, even with rain!)

I gotta go catch some ZZZ's too. :sleeping2::) Good night to all!!

I'm doing fine - thanks for asking!! How are you doing down in the sunshine land, Sofy?:sunny:

Language Mangleage That's a blessing! No Habla Espanol, but I do know some spanglish:laugh3: I kinda understand it, but it takes me a while to think of the root words, and the sentence structure is a bit of a leap for me..;)

Ola! Hi!:)

What's with you people! Either you all learn to speak English, or I'll have to learn Spanish!!:P:laugh3:

But he will have to paint "Make Trade Fair" on his hand!!:P

:rolleyes3::rolleyes3::rolleyes3::gossip:Q: You mean complete bedlam? How far over the coo coo's nest do you want everone to fly??:laugh3:

For some this could take time... Andy Kaufman syndrome, anyone??:clown::bobby::elf:

Holy Cats!:hat::smart: Some heavy-duty readers here, I see! An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire by Arundhati Roy:)

MOSES - cOLDpLAY:hat::egypt::sultan:

Alter-alter egos tend to be a bit too weird to me too. One step too close to total insanity, I would say!:stunned:

Surreal Surnames.. What?? Hmm.. everyone's not who they claim to be around here.. and then they pretended to be someone else who their not today.. or maybe yesterday, depending on you're planetary location. OK - I give up! Who are you??:)

Hmmm..:thinking: Emily Beatrice Potter? Emily Beecher Stowe?

Oh yea of little humor! OK then, be that way!:P

Oh,.. finally, back to normal.. (as though there is a normal around here!!):laugh3::joker: And ya know, when you look at it from the perspective of someone who might be visiting the site for the first time, I can only imagine the confusion!:confused::rolleyes::laugh3:

So basically he plays with balls?:P Soccer, because you 'soc' the ball! Football, because punting was once the only way forward through the air.. And then there's this Rugby thingy.. wherever the heck that one came from!:laugh3: ... played on rugs at one time, I presume?
