Yes, I understand it's an automated system. I think it's set now to "Musician Mode," so it changes big words into smaller words.

It also posts random messages like "keep away from my daughter."

Let's just hope it doesn't get set to "Drummer Mode!"

Can it have its trial run in Boston?

Wait...only kassonica knows the true nature of Skippy. What if it's peanut butter? Wouldn't the musical be just another rehash of Peter Pan?

Speaking of web filters, did anybody see this article in the Washington Post?

Please forgive me.

So are mouse droppings. Never sweep or vacuum a dusty cabin, always wipe clean with a bleach/water mixture to kill the pathogenic micro organisms that can inhabit the mouse droppings and make you quite quite sick.

Hi all. First post,
Kassonica, Be embarrassed about Skippy, but we love you for letting us brits have Rolf Harris and his Stylophone.

(Actually some one said on another music forum that the Yamaha Tenori-on was the stylophone of today)

Skippy is a name I started using in this forum to address Nicky months ago...
about the same time I started "Brad?"...
Nicky is past the point of a trial anything...
Boston is just as good as anywhere for him not to show up....

Legacy second identity, nom de plum, alias for criminally inclined, your Mom's worst nightmare, Biff's collegiate gay experiment?
Nope...
Just overflow from the vault...
Welcome to the EE ticket ride...
Stand up against the sign to make sure you're tall enough.
Oh Toto! I wanted fries wit' 'dat...

bkshepard this kind of thing scares the hell out me. I lived in Salem Mass and the witch museum was at the end of my road so I have an idea just how far this sort of thing can go.

In basic training I had two room mates one was named David Gay; man did he get poo, mostly behind his back. I liked the guy so I stood up for him.
