I think that the Dresden Dolls song Good Day would be appropriate....

Even if masses of drunk hordes are going to be descending on campus tonight because it is Trivarsity (annual competition between Rhodes and two other varsities. I think that the competition is who can drink the most, but there might be sport too....). Ah well, I have Lego Star Wars and Morrowind so I will be fine. :)

I think she does, yes. If they survived the move to Fishy, anyway. I'll ask her on Wednesday.

Lego Star Wars! Excellent choice.

Shame Lego Indy didn't manage to live up to it...here's hoping Lego Batman will manage, though!

Not that I want this thread to start discussing Batman, actually. We've already got a thread for that...over in the one supposed to be about Doctor Who...

I still think that the absence of force powers will affect things badly.

Have only played the Star Wars ones. Must see if I can borrow Indy from someone.

<wonders where Fishy is>

That is very sweet of you, it was very hard to find healthy young pullets 10 years ago.

Is a pullet like a mullet?

No idea why they are called that- pullet is a young female chook or hen. But not laying yet. No mullets here!

I was in the tea room making a cuppa the other day and the olympic water polo was on the tv. I asked the middle-aged man also making a cuppa which of us would say the old joke.
He looked at me quizzically so I replied:"I used to play water polo, but my horse drowned."

I don't think he got it.....

Yeah, that's the sort of personality you would not ask if they stopped tap dancing coz they kept falling in to the sink.

Those jokes live on forever, in every embarrasing 21st speech every father gives. I think it's one of the laws of physics- something to do with the curving nature of space/the universe...

Even amoeba frozen in ice on pluto make those jokes.

appreciated,

but change of direction due to quantum effects: did they reach a ground state?

Possibly mashed and/or jelly?

Ground would imply that they fell through a mincing machine on the way....

I always wondered about classical music composers and their penchant ffor ffish in their music.

Every composition included a mention of 'ground bass'.
