stupid, STUPID hamsters…

**roch** , what kinda joint you think I’m running here? Scratch that, I’m not running it. _I_ am lounging on the couch with the ferrets, drinking up all the wine. there IS no mafia, there IS no mafia.

**Psalex,** Wyatt is also the bartender. Luck.

\*\*Dreamer, \*\* you interested in a job in California? Lots of medical positions open, name your price

In other news, my darling 10yo (blond) daughter just asked me if they kill buffalo to get buffalo wings, or if they just put them to sleep while they take them off? Gotta love her.

Bwwahahahaha! LOVE that! Those terrific California Schools! _trys to picture How Many little wings that size it would take to Get a buffalo off the ground …_

"on the couch _WITH the ferrets"_ in California??? Didn’t you mean, “at my Tahoe Cabin, with the ferrets, on the Nevada Side where they are legal, and the ferrets are drinking all my wine”???

Mo\*\* … got a girl friend named Ravin?

No, **Wyatt** , **Dave’s** couch. **Dave’s** ferrets. He mentioned them on, I think, page um…5? or was it 7? Yes, ferrets are illegal in California, and we CERTAINLY do not do anything illegal here, now do we? 😉

Oh, **Wyatt** , I’ve been remiss in changing your papers haven’t I? I’ve been away for a few days. So Sorry. And to you too, **Dave**. BTW, Dave I was on the Cape, in West Falmouth, near Old Silver Beach and Long’s Pond. AND I got to eat at The Flying Bridge restaurant just like a grown-up! And The Clam Shack at the mouth of the harbour, just like a kid. Even went sailing. And best of all, I was with all adults. Aaaaah, life is good sometimes.  
I’d apologize for the hijack BUT…  
Now where’s the pony-tailed naughty boy?

Somebody tell me please, how this thread became a metastasized monster at 18 pages when it started out as a happy-happy back-slappin’ fest for **Davebear**. I don’t think I have the energy to read through this beast.

Sharp dressed certainly doesn´t apply to me. Being an engineer (almost) in a godforsaken town, I usually dress in jeans and T-shirts…
