9th Corps

[Rocky]

I hear that Tom is not into yoga but he's into champagne....

Perhaps we should let the stRanger speak for himself. <_<

[notinKansasanymore]

I'm not even going to touch the "midnight" line.

I'm just imagining sand between my toes, and warm sunshine.

mr.niKa FINALLY returned yesterday, from two weeks doing science in New Zealand. Things are much easier in the niKa household today.

[Tom Strange]

I don't even know what they're talking about sweetniKa...

I don't even know what they're talking about sweetniKa...

Lyrics for: Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

I was tired of my lady

We'd been together too long

Like a worn-out recording

Of a favorite song

So while she lay there sleeping

I read the paper in bed

And in the personal columns

There was this letter I read

"If you like Pina Coladas

And getting caught in the rain

If you're not into yoga

If you have half a brain

If you'd like making love at midnight

In the dunes on the Cape

Then I'm the love that you've looked for

Write to me and escape."

I didn't think about my lady

I know that sounds kind of mean

But me and my old lady

Have fallen into the same old dull routine

So I wrote to the paper

Took out a personal ad

And though I'm nobody's poet

I thought it wasn't half bad

"Yes I like Pina Coladas

And getting caught in the rain

I'm not much into health food

I am into champagne

I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon

And cut through all this red-tape

At a bar called O'Malley's

Where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes

And she walked in the place

I knew her smile in an instant

I knew the curve of her face

It was my own lovely lady

And she said, "Oh it's you."

Then we laughed for a moment

And I said, "I never knew."

That you like Pina Coladas

Getting caught in the rain

And the feel of the ocean

And the taste of champagne

If you'd like making love at midnight

In the dunes of the Cape

You're the lady I've looked for

Come with me and escape

repeat chorus twice and fade out

Hey, are any of you truly former 9th Corps? I heard the guys in flying saucers came and took them all away. Now because the use of"user names", and Screen Names is so popular...one cannot be sure that the 9th Corps has been taken away or not.

Hummm...I sure Rocky will reply to this ....or is it really Rocky? Live Long and Prosper.

NaNu NaNu!

niKa I know, Rhino I know (and Simonzelotes, Fellowshipper, Excathedra, TomTuttle, etc.), BUT who are YOU?

[Rocky]

and yes... those of us who had been in the 9th corpse have owned up to it. ;)

yet, our fans are legion.

[doojable]

That's only because they're possessed as well.....

[Tom Strange]

That's only because they're possessed as well.....

...and your point would be?

[doojable]

Ask Rocky... he seems to know everything.

[Rocky]

Ask Rocky... he seems to know everything.

Oh gawrsh... you're tooooooooo kind. AND suggesting I, as if anyone, can read your mind? Now doesn't that seem to be quite absurd?

No Jood, I never claim (and do not act as if) I know everything. However, I do know how to GOOGLE. But even THAT has limitations.

Oh... while I do not KNOW everything.... I MIGHT have an OPINION on (close to) everything. :P

AND, I DO try to read TONE of voice in the posts people make.

You guys( Youins for Niki) talk about the spring coming on and all I see is the fall starting. Some of the trees are starting to shed and the english oaks are dropping their acorns but no squirrels to eat them. The pidgeons start pecking at them in late winter I have observed. How weird is that. Rats with wings, how clever of a statement.

It is very dry here. We are in stage 3 of water restrictions and the talk is going to stage 4. I am not allowed to water my lawn, basically, only the garden.

I just spent close to 6k for a new lawn. I removed 4 inches of soil had 4 put back and Santana bermuda put on top. It is like a golf course on our small lot only to see it burning up under the drought. Ugh.

Ater some thirty years of putting new lawns in for others and finally doing my own and basking with the beauty of a new lawn was well worth it, but it is losing color. I enjoy walking barefoot on it, as I did the work.

Maybe I will do a night move on some watering.

Rocky, you're so literal.......Or should I start calling you Ykcor?

[notinKansasanymore]

Oh, dang. Just when I've donated my Klingon Verb Conjugator to Goodwill.

Happy Friday, folks.

[Rocky]

Rocky, you're so literal.......Or should I start calling you Ykcor?

Ykcor? What's that mean?

[doojable]

Ykcor,

It's like Jood - but much more evil.....

[Rocky]

Ykcor,

It's like Jood - but much more evil.....

ahhhhhh! ok...

[Tom Strange]

man... have we been gone that long?

[notinKansasanymore]

We're all gone now.

[Rocky]

We're all gone now.

We're ba-ack! :blink:

[Tom Strange]

how long has it been since mine ears have heard the prophetic words of reverend2Ts?

the lyrical musings of simonzeeloaded?

the upside down because he's down under wisdom of the fellowsleeper?

...well I say too long! ...where's the commitment? ...where's the heart?

...Just look at those pelicans out there! ...waiting for someone to throw them scraps of fish...

[fellowshipper]

" WERE ALL GONE NOW"

[notinKansasanymore]

But Fellowshipper, it's not NOW where you are. It's tomorrow. So, if you are all gone tomorrow, where the heck are you today?

[Rocky]

How can you be in two places at once, when your not anywhere at all?

[fellowshipper]

The spirit moves in mysterious (Musterion) ways.
