Sounds like something my big brother once said to one of my old boyfriends! -->

Is that what we are? Dropped Corps? Well, they certainly screwed up when they dropped us. If they had been running the ministry honestly, they could still have had us working for them. Sounds to me like they dropped the ball. I guess we slipped though their fingers and rolled on out to freedom! Don't mind me; I'm only on the second cup of coffee this morning. love, niKa

Congratulations,Fellowshipper! Thank you very much for everything that you've done to keep us safe for these years. love, niKa

Thank you, Rev. Strange; we will keep our eyes open. There is definitely a reason that we have lots and lots of meterology majors here. They're kind of cute, with the little antennas and windspeed thingies poking up from the tops of their cars and trucks. The other day, we went to "touch-a-truck," where the kids got to crawl all over various kinds of police cars, garbage trucks, a street sweeper (the guy'd left the key in the ignition, and guess whose son turned the thing on?)and a storm-chaser truck. They had video going, on their in-cab monitor, of a tornado that they'd shot about a week before, and rock music. It was EXACTLY like the movie "Twister," which was, incidentally, made here. It was waaaaay coooool.

Pawnbroker has already guessed "Dogma."

Did Pawnbroker get it right? Who's on first?

If he fell off his ladder, it would be a long trip, indeed. I will now get off the computer and address the rather tall pile of laundry which is waiting to be folded. "Hello," I will say, "Folding you is going to be a long trip." Danger, DANGER, Will Robinson.

Mutiny on the Bounty?

Who's on first. IDunno is on second.

TomTheTuttle: Will your five-month sojourn bring you to the wilderness of Oklahoma? We have locusts and wild honey. And lawn chairs.

Snake? No, I don't think so. He's just thin.

Constantine?

Independance Day?

Fellownipper, Thanks for keeping me on the Word. Here, eat this. Looks like an apple? The heck you say. Hey, look. What's that, down the road there? Let's go check it out, man!

They're gonna tease you for that one, man! Highly recommend edit function. Danger, Will Robinson!

The Odd Couple?

Fellowhipster, Unfortunately, I have very little advice to give! I'm trying my darndest here. It could be that because of my Dad's genes, my children aren't afraid of anything and will try anything once (or more than once); it could be that because of my husband's genes, my kids are smarter than I am, and can sometimes run circles around me (now, I'm not stu-peed, but some folks are just scary). It could be that I need a little time in a nice, sunny lawn chair somewhere peaceful, with a tall gin and tonic. Hiiiiiiiii. Love, niKa

Simon notwithstanding (I can vouch; he still has a glorious head of hair) I'll bet that Hayward is not the ONLY fellow among us who's a little less shaggy than we remember. Beats the alternative, as my father-in-law likes to say. Funny, but with each year that passes, I understand that remark better. Happy Wednesday morning, everybody. You are excused from Corps Night.

Roses are red licorice is black to the top of the thread we now have come back

Only until Alaska melts, dude! Long Live Texas! ;)-->

Sharon (and husband Jeff) that was a good one! "Aw come on, Captain, it'll only take a minute, and it'll mean such a lot to the lady."

Dirty Dozen?

Ex, that's kind of scary; good luck with that. You could come to Oklahoma, where we ARE the gang. Congratulations on the promotion. love, niKa

Share hearts? I feel like I've been on Bless Patrol all night. It's almost Finals week, and I was up at 3am grading essays. Still have 60 or 75 to go. Summer, however, looms closely, tantalizingly near. I can almost smell the Magnolia blossoms from here. Where is Frank the Manasseri with the coffee?

The World According to Garp?
