You have good ideas. 😉 \*\* Oh, I’m just full of ideas, love. 😃 You know, I just realized something this morning. I had my blinds closed last night… **Newbie** , how exactly did you know I had my TV on? Were you looking at the folks across the street with that huge projection screen TV? (Hell, it’s like a drive in–if they gave us those little radios we could sit on lawn chairs and watch movies in our front yards.) ---

[sub]This is your brain newbie, you had better say something cleaver so mrblue doesn’t realize you’re stalking him[/sub] I’m stalking you! [sub]Doh![/sub] No, actually I caught a glimpse of a television screen when I pulled into my driveway last night. I couldn’t tell what was on it, not that I was looking anyways [sub]That’s it! I quit! No more brain for TheNewbie[/sub] What were we talking about again? ---

“something cleaver”??? OK, that does it. I’ve been thinking of buying a 12-gauge… What do you think, auto or pump? The pumps make that nice, distinctive “chunk-chunk” noise, but semi-auto’s are a wee bit faster… Do you prefer slugs or 00 buckshot? ---

Yeah, that’s right…cleaver! > [@](#): > > What do you think, auto or pump? The pumps make that nice, distinctive “chunk-chunk” noise, but semi-auto’s are a wee bit faster… I would prefer the air-pump myself. Speed wouldn’t really be an issue. It would only take one shot. Plus, there’s nothing like the “chunk-chunk” noise and a loud explosion. Wait, you’re not talking about using this on me are you? AHHH! ::runs off to work:: They’ll protect me! ---

Glad everything’s okay. 😃 But I was kinda looking forward to those hams. ☹ My emails probably won’t be there, either. They were returned. That’s what made me start this thread. Oh, and **dlgirl?** Take a number. Knowing what I know about the effect that **mrblue** has on the women that come in contact with him, your number shuld be somewhere in the oh…high triple digits, I think. 😃 ---

Um, **Persephone** … still no hint of that original e-mail. Did you forget what you wanted to say or something? Oh, and **Newbie** –don’t worry about the shotgun… I’ve decided it’s too noisy. [sub]I’ve dug a tiger trap instead.[/sub] ---

You mean to tell me you had time to dig a tiger trap, but you didn’t have time to rake your leaves! Geeze, what is this world coming to? Of course I’m just messing around with you, I don’t think I’ve raked a leaf in a couple of years 😃 Wait, I was just thinking about this…If I were to get a ride to Holidope from you, what kind of music would you pick out exactly? I may just want to drive down there myself… 😉 ---

And he was going to cover the tiger trap without the leaves _how_? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by TheNewbie \* > **You mean to tell me you had time to dig a tiger trap, but you didn’t have time to rake your leaves! Geeze, what is this world coming to?** I needed something to cover the trap with, of course.

**mrblue** , the good news is that I recognize the following bands/singers: Goo Goo Dolls Ray Charles Matchbox 20 Dixie Chicks Metallica Billy Joel Def Leppard Miles Davis The bad news is, I would only listen to the following: Matchbox 20 Metallica and Maybe Def Leppard Three out of 14, hmm I guess that’s not too bad. And it would beat driving down there by myself. So sure, count me in as a passenger if you’d like. I would list all of the cd’s in my car, but I don’t feel like typing up over 100 band names. [sub]Newbie, it’s your brain again… ::slap:: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TELLING HIM YOU HAVE OVER 100 CD’S IN YOUR CAR?!? ARE YOU JUST BEGGING TO HAVE THEM STOLEN?[/sub] Shuddup brain! I’m trying to sound cool by telling him I have so many CD’s. I know you wouldn’t believe it from the the bass that sometimes pounds your walls, but a good 80% of my cd’s are rock cd’s. I’m not a huge rap fan, so it looks like we might be able to compromise on some music for the ride… ---

Pssst… **Newbie** , I’ll send you some ‘Cebo, The Cure and Orgy. That should get you all rarin’ to go…::giggle:: **mrblue** , you listen to Dixie Chicks?

I mean, if you can’t tolerate country music in general, I understand (I used to be the same way–when I was very young and naive :p). They do play their own instruments and write some of their own songs… music is supposed to be fun, and I think they’re fun.

Do you know what **mrblue**? I used to listen to country…before I grewed up. Don’t like it now (although if I listen to it, I wanna go romp in fields in a summer dress. ::giggle:: ) Now I listen to Alt. Rock. I am savoring every last bit that I have. I commend the DCs for writing and playing their own music, though. It is hard to find anyone that does that. I would take a road trip with you though. The rest of your collection is fine by me. :)(But of course, I would end up bringing a lot of my CDs, so, you might have to put up with some of my music. And my dancing. Oh, and singing. :D) ---

What? You’ve never danced in a car before? Well, it’s not really dancing, you goof. I can’t stand in the car.
