Radio Days: The MMP

You could always search youtube for him. :rolleyes:

Only tangentially associated, I got into DX and QSL collecting in the 70s. I was given a Panasonic RF2200 radio and a WRTH for Christmas, probably the greatest affordable receiver ever, and certainly the most appreciated gift I ever received – and surprising, since I’d never expressed such an interest. I was living in Newfoundland at the time, and had no trouble acquiring QSL cards from about 50 countries, just using the built-in telescoping antenna, including an AM station from Greenland.

The rain has cooled the temp nicely. Makes me want to sleep but it’s too early for sleepy time.

No rain here, but it’s only 85. I vacuumed, Swiffered the kitchen, and cleaned the fridge. Orange ginger chicken is in the oven.

Sari, I’d be worried if Flytrap was hearing voices. Just saying.

Time to crochet. MWAH!!

Ve are all very proud of you, that you have admitted to hearing the voices.
Admitting that there is a problem is part of the cure.
And oye, is it going to cost, already.
Please pay the nurse on the vay out.
Remember, if you don’t pay, you don’t get better!

Thanks to Flytrap I now have this stuck in my head
and it’s a sucky version at that

See this is why I can’t get an accent for Flytrap, how does one say ‘oye’ in Southern?

Oye gevalt, y’all!

Bill and Hillary Clinton sound to me as though they have no accent, so I probably speak as they do.

[Doctor Sigmund Fraud]Vait! Ve have only room for von quack in de MMP! Und zat quack iz me![/Doctor Sigmund Fraud]

I hear. flytrap as an educated, meshuge hillbilly.

shoe, does your snake have a name?

Ve are all very happy for you, zat you have also admitted to hearing zee vocies, already.
Please pay the nurse.
Remember, you don’t get better if you don’t pay zee bill!

Now, tell me vhy you zeenk you bin ein Doktor.

I have killed people for that.
A President of the USA and General McArthur were Arkansans.
Seriously, that is like calling a Black person a nigger.

[Doctor Sigmund fraud]Vell, because I vaz furst to claim ze title ov MMP Qvack. You are just a zick zad man mit delusions of planthood.[/Doctor Sigmund Fraud]

Please please tell me you don’t have the bill clinton squeak ::shudder::
and Hillary has no accent to me either

Why do you care what MMPers sound like?
I do not squeak. I believe that was something that happened when he lost his voice during the campaign.
When he was Governor, he came into the Library where I worked, and he never squeaked.

A cute little page, on of the kids who shelves books at the library, begged me to ask him to check his books out with her. Soon, she asked me to demand that he hurry up, for she was about to get off work. :slight_smile:

Once he came into the Library after jogging. I was at the front desk, and he insisted upon shaking my hand. I wiped the sweat off on my pants.

I tried to pick up a new toothbrush at the grocery store today but there was a little girl in the aisle with her father also looking at toothbrushes and she told him, “You should get one because in our family, you have the worst breath.” So I didn’t get a toothbrush because I had to run away before I fell over laughing. Maybe next time.

I think we are a fun bunch. We type in interesting accents anyway. :wink:

And of course, on the West Coast, we have no accents. :rolleyes:

Sunny-girl is doing sew camp this week. She’s making her first quilt. She assures me that she is doing her own pattern that they are all doing the same pattern but hers is her own colors and she will put he pieces together differently. Got that? :smiley:

I am still quite excited. We are a quilting family. And she seems to be having fun.

And then after sew camp, ce-ment pond!!

Since I know I will get up later than you Swampy

Happy Birthday!

Happy Big Birthday, Swampy!

There, absolutely no chance he’s going to miss that one, is there?

I am slightly disturbed that Sari may be misreading my posts, I am hoping they get heard in their correct BBC Home Counties English and not the dreadful bastardisation that is Estuary English. You lot should consider yourselves lucky I’m not a Geordie then I’d be all but incomprehensible.

In other news, we have a student protest going on in the building next door to mine. A group of protesters barricaded themselves in yesterday with the intention of staying put until at least Wednesday. There were a couple of protesters outside, very helpfully directing the Chinese summer school students who were supposed to be in that particular building, to the place their classes had been moved to. See, we have a protest but we don’t want to inconvenience anyone here.

There have been two security guards outside the building but they have now become rather bored with it so they’ve put a big chain around the outside doors, effectively locking the protesters in (which is surely what they wanted) and have now turned off internet and wifi access to the building. I expect by this afternoon the protestors will be fed up with not being able to access farcebook and they’ll be on the phone to security to come and let them out.

Happy Birthday swampy!!!

Up, caffeinated, off to work.

*Happy BearDay, you old fart!!*Welcome to the 60s! The nurse will be along shortly with your butterscotch pudding and to tuck the blanket around your legs. Supper in the Home tonight will be creamed… something. It’s *always *creamed something, since many of your co-residents don’t like to put their teeth in to eat.

MWAH!!!

This is probably more true than you think! :smiley: “I refuse to continue if I can’t keep track of the Khardashians!!” (or however one spells that.)

It’s a glorious 61° this morning and again, we slept with the windows open. Ah, bliss!! I’ll be futzing outside in the garden as long as the cool lasts, or until the fresh air and sunshine kicks my butt! :smiley: That’s about the extent of today’s plans.

Happy Tuesday!
