Strictly speaking, I’m not sure if the SCM would qualify as dessert, but they could certainly be an after dinner treat! 😉 They have volleyball nets–is that high speed enough for you? ---

She was a good witch and made sure that all the sand used to make sand castles was just wet enough, but not too wet. On the side, she sold Seattle seashells to shifty shills from Cheyenne. Try saying that (meaning the last sentence directly above, not just the word “that”) after a trip to Single Malt Scotch Island! ---

But you can’t eat kitties! Well, you could, but them you would have to look into it’s cute kitties eyes as… :eek: Nevermind. Looks like I’m going to have the chain of Boring But Necessary Islands; primarily consisting of Quik-Eez Islands, The Islands of Cholestrol Control, Magic Weight Management Land and The Land of Necessary Vitamin and Mineral Supplements. I’m going to charge access too. [rubs hands together with manical capitcalist greed] ---

Personally, I’m kinda counting on the Scantily Clad Men to help me keep my weight down. 😃 What? I thought we’d take walks together, play a little volleyball–yeah, that’s the ticket–walks and volleyball\*, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. \*And chasing kittens out of my area of sand! ---

Okay, I’m kicking this over to a second page because I’m starting to get aggravated. **FairyChatMom** , you may have received multiple e-mails, or you may have received nothing. I can’t tell because I’m having problems with yahoo for some reason. You and **welby** should e-mail me at my regular address (you both know what it is) if you want to correspond, because free mail sucks. I’ll try again tomorrow anyway. Short answer: I’m not dead, I was just in Maine. Vacations rule. And **dwyr**? If I ever find myself on Kitten Island I’ll saw my own head off with a seashell. I prefer puppies. ---

'Kay. My fiance kicked it over to the second page while I was typing. My aggravation (yes, I know, it should be “irritation” or something) still stands. Please excuse the spelling mistakes. I’m and enjinyer. ---

Party poopers. Puppies are too much work. Cats can look after themselves. They don’t like to, but they can. I was just trying to insert my little cutie-pie into the conversation somewhere. I’ve only had him since saturday, so he’s still got that brand-new aroma about him. Among other things… ---

**Ex** - I have no emails from you. I felt unloved and rejected. And now you blame Yahoo! But everyone else is able to contact me on Yahoo! Why would you be singled out? I smell a conspiracy… or it might be that the trash needs to be collected in this cube. I’ll let you know. ---

My actual problem with Yahoo! was that it wouldn’t let me stay logged on, so I’d get halfway through writing an e-mail and _blammo_. For the record, the powers that be on Incredibly Sexy Intelligent Woman Island canceled my visa and gave me the boot. It’s sort of a matter of finding my own level. ---

You’re the engineer, I’m just the idea guy. 3. I was thinking that, but it’s tough. I did my first one because I was giving **Eutychus** a hard time in the “Don’t post complete song lyrics or I’ll cut you with a razor” thread. I’ve run out of ideas. As you’ve seen, I usually put one together because someone mentions a song. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dwyr \* > \*\*All right, listen up! > > I hereby hijack this thread to my own special island, filled with [these](http://home.earthlink.net/imagelib/sitebuilder/misc/show_image.html?linkedwidth=actual&linkpath=http://home.earthlink.net/~dwyr/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/baby2.jpg&target=tlx_new). > > What do you think about that? \*\* I think that it would go well with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

It all depends what you want to cover with that pelt, now isn’t it **welby**. It could be just the right size for… an eyepatch or something. But it’s a real cute kitty **dwyr**. If you want to set up Pussy Island, that’s your right. And I think if you were to name it “Pussy Island” it’s just a matter of time before **Ex** stumbles around. Then you can throw coconuts at him. -Rue. (master of the coconut shy) ---
