Good Morning, Folks!

[Clintmax]

:donut: :hi:
I hope everyone is doing OK on this Thursday morning! I'm doing fine...I have coffee in hand and I'm ready to get this thing started! :rofl: Greekspeak and I ate dinner last night at "Golden Corral" and I ate so much I was just one big fat dog tick! :rofl: It was really good though!

[billyskank]

1. Morning Clintmax!

:hi:

[Clintmax]

2. Hello, hello Billy!

:hi:
How's every little thing?

[billyskank]

9. Things are ok

I could really use some more stimulating work, but beggars can't be choosers!

[Clintmax]

10. What...being a programmer isn't very stimulating?

Try retail sometime, Dude! :rofl: You are so busy all day long running at warp 7 to keep up with customers and tasks, you can't help but be stimulated!

[billyskank]

16. It depends on the program

Business software is usually so b o r i n g !

But I know what you mean. I worked as a trainee chef one time. That job really sucked, but it's gotta be said: on a Saturday night, once the checks started flying in, it certainly wasn't boring.

[Clintmax]

18. Chef...yes, there's another one!

I can certainly imagine THAT job being crazy at times too!

[Clintmax]

26. Hey, Billy...check out this picture...

Do you ever do this sort of thing?

Here's another one:

[billyskank]

30. I wish

I'd love to get into graphics programming. I intend to learn OpenGL, but when I'll find the time for it is anybody's guess.

I think my dream job would be to work for Id software or someone like that. :)

[Clintmax]

31. Yes, I'm sure THAT kind of programming would be fun!

The actual videos those pictures were taken from is FANTASTIC! You should see it! There is a clip of it right here:

let me know what you think!

[billyskank]

32. I'll take a look when I get home

Here at work we all share a 512Kbit line so watching videos is out of the question. x(

[Clintmax]

33. Ah, OK...

I can understand THAT! Just thought you might like it!

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Good morning my dear friend

:hi:

I invited a friend over for dinner last night. we didn't eat as much though :)

[Clintmax]

6. Morning, Miss Honey!

:hug:
You probably don't have "Golden Corrals" in Germany, but I'm sure there are places to eat that you've overdone it a time or two! How are YOU this morning?

[MissHoneychurch]

27. I am doing fine, thanks

no, we don't have "Golden Corrals" here, I don't even know what kind of food you get there. But yeah, there are some dishes I love and have to eb careful not to overdo it.

[NMMNG]

4. Hey Clint!

[Clintmax]

7. BUFFY!!

:hug:
I haven't seen you in FOREVER! Just where have you been, Missy??

[NMMNG]

11. Vacation!

I go back to work tonight though :cry:.

[Clintmax]

13. Ah, ok!

Well then that's good! Where'd you go?

[NMMNG]

15. First I visited my family for five days

Did lots of shopping, bought 12 books, went to a craft fair and a town festival. Then I went to the Peace Protest in DC this past weekend (no doubt you've seen all the buzz about it here). I've also repainted/redecorated my bathroom and done some yardwork, plus eaten more junk food than I care to mention.

[Clintmax]

19. Sounds like you had fun!

Greekspeak and I have decided we're going back to Rome, Italy again this year. I can't WAIT! :woohoo:

[NMMNG]

25. Now that sounds like fun!

I was supposed to go to the Netherlands, but that fell through. Nonetheless, I had a good time.

[Clintmax]

29. I'd like to go there sometime too...

We both fell in love with Rome when we went last year. It was the best trip I've EVER taken in my life! We have GOT to go back! We both threw coins in the Trevi Fountain, so that assures we'll return! You know...all roads lead to Rome!

[tjwmason]

5. Good morning greedy.

:P

I'm good - it's another sunny cool autmn day. :D

That said, it was quite a marathon effort to drag my lazy arse out of bed this morning.

[Clintmax]

8. Hello, TJ!

I laid there an extra 10 minutes this morning too, so I know how you feel! Anything exciting happen yesterday I need to know about?

[tjwmason]

12. Not much.

Poodle-boy has had to apologise after an 82 year-old heckler was arrested at the newlabour conference.

I was completely shockingly dense in another thread ("why is everone so testy").

I gather than a Senator has received some indictment thingy - he's a Republican so he's obviously totally innocent.

Edit - typo.

[Clintmax]

14. LOL!

Yes, I knew about the senator thing...who's "Poodle-Boy"?

[tjwmason]

17. the Rt. Hon and Learned Anthony Lynton Blair, Q.C., M.P., P.C.

First Lord of Her Majesty's Treasury, Minister for the Civil Service, and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

So called because he is Bush's poodle.

[Clintmax]

20. Oh yeah...HIM!

:rofl:
How could I forget? *smacks forehead with palm*

[tjwmason]

21. Unfortunately it looks like we're stuck with him for a while yet.

:(

Or so the commentary from the party conference suggests.

[billyskank]

22. He's turned into Thatcher

"on and on." Just give him a handbag and it'd be perfect. :(

[Clintmax]

23. LOL!

True dat! :rofl:

[tjwmason]

28. It would be very metrosexual of him

I can well imagine that he will be like her in that his departure will create it's own problems.

The Tory Party is still a train-wreck left over from Lady T., I think that it's perfectly possible that once Blair goes there will be a similar descent into anarchy within the Labour Party.

[billyskank]

24. Density loves company

I made exactly the same error! :dunce:
