Open Mike Night - Everyone is Welcome Part 3

[TwinkieMama]

I am the very model of a modern Major-General
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical

I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse

With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotepotenuse

I'm very good at integral and differential calculus
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
He is the very model of a modern Major-General

I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous

I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore

And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinapinafore

Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
He is the very model of a modern Major-General

In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat"

When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a better Major-General had never sat a gee

You'll say a better Major-General had never sat a gee
You'll say a better Major-General had never sat a gee
You'll say a better Major-General had never sat a sat a gee

For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
He is the very model of a modern Major-General

Morning All,

Mommy P if it was me I couldn't wait. I went though a lot of tests when I was trying. No they are better I think. I used to say to hubby is there a line may even a faint one.... Then when I was finally pregnant it was the blood test that told us and a doctor.

Twinkie sold her house Now you don't have to clean every second. House hunting how exciting. I love watching House Hunters.

Babynurse have fun are your tournament. Ny son is trying out for basketball at school today. Don't know why they are started this so late in the year.

Nice sunny warm day today, suppose to get to 21 C today. Now that is almost summer weather here. That is about 70 F I think.

 

[poly]

Twinkie- Congrats on the sale - YAHOO ! Have fun looking for a new home- should be exciting!

MommyP-
gotcha in my prayers. Hail Mary's work the best.

Nab-thank God no nightmares last night. He came from work this morning with a full head of hair and no leather gear

Marita- love the housecleaning song! With my husband's work schedule, I never have alone time and can't blast my tunes.

It is 48 out now,but feels much warmer- hopefully that's a sign that Spring is finally on its' way.

It has been more than 3 minutes!

I am on pins and needles here!

Reminds me of that quote from Pretty Woman.

"Did you like the opera, dear?"
Julia Roberts:It was so good, I almost peed my pants!
Richard Gere: She said she liked it better than Pirates of Penzance.

Twinkie love the lyrics!! Yep, its nice to read the internet and smile, and giggle!

"Plenty of sunshine today, in the upper 60's Tomorrow a high of 72, near 80 on Sunday" (weather report is on in the background!!)

 

[drebert]

Good morning everyone!

My next audition is tomorrow morning!

This is to be on a local talent show. A little like American Idol but not. KWIM?

Carry on. It's a great big beautiful Friday!

 

[eeyore45]

Dre - good luck!! Have fun... imagine the judges in their underwear!! (I hear that helps... unless of course you cant stop - which ones are boxer, briefs or thongs??!!)

 

[drebert]

Oh my. I am afraid I might choke.

I'm not too sure that I will have time to decide exactly what kind they are wearing. I only get 60 seconds.

 

[jw50]

Marita - I keep meaning to ask you if you are familiar with this German china:

http://www.rsprussia.com/

 

[MommyPoppins]

http://www.rsprussia.com/

I know what it is. It's in my family. I wondered if Marita knew because she is German.

Smarty Pants.

 

[UtahMama]

Nope. This was a musical play- an operetta even long before it was a movie. It contains "the best song in the pirate musical repetoire" according to Archibald on veggie tales....

Ah. I had a crush on Johnny back in the 21 Jumpstreet days.

I KNEW THE ANSWER!!!! no, really, I DID!


MommyP - Pee on anything medical today? WELL????

Hi BabyNurse, drebert(GOOD LUCK!), Joe(y), eeyore, Nab, and Poly.

 

[Kay7979]

Twinkie I'm glad the house sale appears to be official. Hurray! I think you're doing the right thing. Sometimes people play around with counteroffers and out-smart themselves by losing the buyer.

Dre Good luck. You have a great voice.

UMA Howzit goin with the contacts?

Hi to everyone!

 

[UtahMama]

Kay, thanks, it's a lot easier today (day3). Their EASY to remove since I cut off all the free edge of my finger nails.

I bumped your TR. I'm ignoring mine. I need to write it. But it'll be the end!!! We leave to Disneyland again in 17 days but are NOT writing a TR. We'll be taking comparison pictures to do a MK vs. DL mini- report. Also there's not enough dining reports for Disneyland and CA Adventure , so we may do one of those. This is a wing-it trip!

 

[poly]

I just spent one hour taking my Dyson apart . It wasn't picking up anything and I thought it was clogged. Took all the pipes,etc., apart - no clog. Got it back together- still no suction. I was just looking at it, trying to figure what was wrong when I noticed it was on the bare floor setting !?!~?!? switched it and it is back to full animal power- grrrr!

Wow, you're making excellent headway for only day 3. See, I told you you'd be fine! Thanks for the bump on my TR. I don't know when I'll finish my next segment as we'll be away this weekend to a funeral out of state. It's great that you're going back to DL again. Wing-it trips can be the most fun since you don't have so much of an agenda, and you have fewer expectations that must be met. Have a great time. I guess this means people will have to revise their UMA trip "day's since" counters.

 

[MommyPoppins]

Uma - How long will you be gone this time?

It would seem that I not only killed the thread, but I angered the Tag Fairy in a bad way.

 

[UtahMama]

YAY! I just finished my Disneyland Trip Report !!! It's the SDY instalment!

MommyP- That is so funny!!! I find it best to be VERY nice to the Tag Fairy.

This thread is so sloooow today! With my TR, I've spent entirely too much time here today, so I'll check back tonight!

Say something FUNNY!

 

[MommyPoppins]

The TF didn't pay attention to what I really said. I wasn't being mean to the TF.

That's it. That TF HAD to have been a man.

 

[NAB]

Mommy P you called the Tag Fairy a fraud....

You must have been on one of the fairy threads. Maybe it is the purple winged one. No one knows what to call her.

It is so nice outside I am in a t-shirt today....

Now I wish I didn't have a cold.

Eeyore dyson's are not suppose to get clogged don't you watch the commericals.

Poly glad hubby still has his hair. Sorry he didn't come home in leather...

Kay have a save trip out of town, to bad it isn't for something better. Like the beach.

UMA you got your contacts in. Just in time to go to DL and look cool in your shades.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Dangit, UMA, I just got caught up reading this board and BR, and was about to start working.

Now I have to run and read your report first!!!!!!

 

[NAB]

It's Friday Marita take a long break.....are you home?
