Hiya Handsome

M>>>> Who /are/ you talking to? 
R >>> We go through this every year or so don't we... I'm talking to
R >>> the reflection in _YOUR_ monitor 
M>> All right, I'll stop.
R>>  OOOOOOHHHHHHH!!! 
M> Do I win? 

 Well you win more cheek from me or do you 
want to use your "spin again"??? ):-)

R >> gloat to about finishing the degree (even if the kid graduated from 
pre-school
R >>  before her mom did from Uni) 
M> The kids have to feel superior to the parents at least once. After that,
M> well...

I thought that was wot the teen years were about? I know she's been 
practicing being a teenager since she was 3.

R>> has a handful of punsters active & the rest are lurkers -
& as O-pun
R>> warfare is _not_ a spectator sport  these are the ones complaining
R>> about the efforts to keep the puns on topic 
M> Puns being on topic? That's like fishing being mistaken for a spectator
M> sport.

Well in OZ the TV stations have been experimenting with a variety of 
different hocks but I guess that's on a different scale );-)

R>> Woooo Woooo.... a rumor. Dr Who Telly movie with a female Dr. They've
R>> named .. goddess I can never remember her name .. it's Patty from
R>> Ab-Fab. & I think she's got the talent to pull it off - more in a Tom
R>> Baker-esque way than some of the more serious goes... It'll be
R>> interesting.
M> It should. I do hope they manage to keep the quality up. The TV movie was
M> all right...for a partly-American production.

Rumor didn't say which side of the pond was making it...

R>> & there's another rumor about another attempt & HHGTTG but it names
R>> that gormless Mr Grant as Arther Dent ...
M> Not /Hugh/ Grant. I don't know if he has the ability to look harried
M> enough.

Yep that's one one. Can think of a few better candidates without even 
trying...

M>>> Moebius, who feels slightly flattered.
C>>  Better than slightly battered - although I'd be
careful of
C>> the quality (& quantity ??? ) of eggs in
the batter or
C>> the yoke'll be on you..
M> All right, it's CODDLING TIME!!

 more like rotten gas once it gets over here );-)

M> Moebius, whose punishments are known for their unreasoning cruelty.

Did I tell you about a local pagan lass who's placed me on one pun an 
hour in her presence??
