I depend on members to be way smarter than I am so thanks for making that observation.

Kit you got posting #1,400 so you win our top prize—Roger!

This posting belongs in the 2 Line Poem Game.
Posting it here is such a wasteful shame.

I'm very confused about what's happening right now. if I dropped the ball on find the truth, I'm sorry? I didn't receive a notification for it. I can go check.

No, no, it's me, Kit. I have to answer, but Rick got it already (cheat!) and he's right, I could never eat fish and chips ice cream…

so take it away Rick!

P.S. Sorry about the rhyming couplet back there. It won't happen again :)

Bwahahahahahaha! Roger got a demerit! ;)

It's Black Friday, so today I have big plans to:

1) Stay home and watch movies beginning with The Brood (Cronenberg, 1979)
2) Read, read, read.
3) Stay home? No Way! I'm a good American and I'm going SHOPPING!

#3

Btw, I'm curious, do Americans really go nuts on Black Friday? Because every year media here shows some kind of insanely long queues and people running into the stores and grabbing whatever they can.
Couple of years ago when my mum saw it on TV she said "People are truly insane. I thought that long queues in front of closed shops went away with communism..." xDD

I can't help feel that you are right Monika :) Otherwise, The Brood sounds so tempting that I think #2 is the lie.

Black Friday here seems to have been a damp squib as far as retail outlets are concerned, not like last year when there were violent riots in shops all over the country.

Sorry for lagging on this one guys...

@Monika, yes. People do go all kinds of crazy. I stopped doing it yeeeaaars ago.

Since I haven't seen a post from Rick in a while I'm going to go with #1

Monika wrote: "#3"

And #3 is the LIE! I worked in retail for years and years in the US and I will NEVER voluntarily go back out into the hellish, post-apocalyptic nightmare that is Black Friday. I suppose if Ben Whishaw (or Daniel Craig) enticed me to go with him to go shopping on Black Friday I would. But like that's EVERY going to happen. :P

You win Monika! I'm just staying at home where it's safe from the crazy conspicuous consumers that call themselves 'Mericans. I shake my head in shame at my fellow citizens. (view spoiler)[I then I remind myself, oh yeah, they but George W. Bush in the White House. This is a nation of idiots. (hide spoiler)]

That is actually very similar to what I said when I saw a coverage on TV... O.o


1. I baked a cake an hour ago
2. I baked some rolls with herbs two hours ago
3. I baked two loaves of bread three hours ago

Roger wrote: "Definitely #3"

And you're definitely right :)

1) Right now it's pouring buckets of rain

2) Right now the sun is blazing in a wintry sky

3) Right now it's dismally cold

Well duh! Of course that's the lie. It's raining and 47 degrees in Ludlow.

1 of course. It's England near the Welsh border what6 else would you have but rain?

It's a fair cop, Guv—there's been nothing but gale-force winds and horizontal rain for days, so of course Monika is right!

Roger wrote: "... so of course Monika is right!"

Yeah, only 'cuz she got there first. :(

I know, I know…

Darn your socks Monika! ;)

ROFL, why do I have a feeling you were pouting while writing this Gruncle Rick? ;P

You mean "Gruncle Rick"… ? ;-)

Yes, edited especially for you ;) but honestly that's the first time I came across 'great uncle' or 'gruncle'. Maybe because we don't use anything other than 'uncle' . New things to learn all the time ;))

Yeah, Gruncle Rick is good at pouting. As the baby in my generation for 17 years, I'm an expert at it. ;)

The scary thing is that with my newly arrived grand-nephew Ezra here, I'm also only weeks away (maybe days) from having a grand-niece as well.

Ah well, via Oliver I have three grand-nieces and two grand-nephews, and as far as I know they all speak only Schwiezerdütsch…

So now you'll have a competition. How do you feel about it mister gruncle?

That's a lot of kids... and no one really to talk to O.o'

Babies...Congrats, rick!

@roger, time to learn a new language ;)

So I'll stick to the theme
1. It was raining today a lot
2. It was snowing today for a while but now all snow is gone
3. It was surprisingly sunny today

Oh, I lost the "baby in the family" position when I was 17, that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Not an issue anymore. At least I keep telling myself that. ;)

I'll bet is wasn't "surprisingly sunny" so #3!

Macie got it right :)

1) I once got the MVP (most value player) award for basketball.

2) My daughter got an MVP award for basketball.

3) My younger sister got an MVP award in volleyball.

*smiling* No. You're right @Rog. My daughter & sister were the ones to get the MVP.

Roger wrote: "#1 (Oh… am I in trouble now…)"

See you did win. ;)

Natch ;-)

A lie, a lie, my kinkdom for a lie…

At school I was:

1) a freestyle winner in the swimming team

2) a top-scoring batsman in the senior Cricket XI

3) a winning cross-country runner.
