Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

For the troll?

You’re weird, man.

142

“On the next Jerry Springer…trolls in Speedos!” :eek:

143

MY EYES!!!

144

I’m not that weird, well ok maybe I am. I couldn’t find a troll under the bridge though, must be to cold around here.

145

That’s what you’re doing wrong - you need to crack the ice, in winter.

146

Also, try baiting some traps with spam. They like spam.

147

That accounts for the appearance of my mom’s third husband and his spam fixation.

148

Spam huh? Ok I’ll check it out. I got the ice breaker today.

149

You guys are missing the most important point about troll hunting – they turn to stone when exposed to the rays of the sun. (Source: J.R.R. Tolkien; look it up.) So you must seek them out at night.

Anyone else thinking of Poly as the center of a Michael Jackson video now?

151

I was thinking more along the lines of “Maneater” by Hall & Oates. Saint Poly, 80s popster.

152

I bet he’d look good in a powder blue suit with a pink carnation in the lapel.

But does he have moves?

And I’m bringing an appetite and the knowledge that there’s a squished penny machine in the gift shop!

155

I’m bringing lemon bars. And possibly the wife as well.

I will leave it up to you to decide which is more important.

156

Anyone looked at the weather forecast for tomorrow? There’s a winter storm warning out for tonight and tomorrow; here’s the summary from Weather Underground’s site, which I’ve linked to above:

Perhaps we ought to have a backup plan, like postponing to Sunday or Monday if things get sufficiently messy tomorrow? If we just have a couple inches, I’m still good to go, but if it’s more like 6 inches and still snowing on Saturday afternoon, I’m staying home.

157

You’d skip it just because of freezing temps and dangerous driving conditions?

Heathen.

158

Heathen? Nah.

Just a wimp. :slight_smile:

159

Oh great, how the hell am I supposed to know then since I don’t have web access from home? I will just have to make the trek then, and Sunday is bad for me. :frowning:

160

We can’t do it sunday or monday. They need 2 weeks notice for the reservation for that large a party.

I’m going tomorrow. Anyone else brave enough please come. It’s all on main roads, so the roads should be clear.

Plllleeeeeeeeeeeeease?
