Howdy Dave! Hope you are finer than frog hair. Or Dragon hair for that matter. The weather has finally cooled here and is quite nice, a bit chilly at night. Hmmm- a bit of chili might be tasty, with a burrito on the side... but I digress. Last night, Klingon the cat escaped, feeling a fine cool night to romp about , and so we had to leave the doors open- about 12 midnight, in walks a wild Javelina (our version of wild boar) into the kitchen, in search of a snack. I yelled at it, "Hyah pig! "and it wisely retreated from the kitchen. Now I have to decide if it was my Stentorian voice or my appearance that has the ability to frighten off wild hogs. I fear it is the latter. Klingon sallied back in about 4 A.M.

Dave Cripps replies: "Not a big chap with a little moustosh are you. Haven’t got a little dog called Dogmatix? No? Well Obelix liked wild boar too. Surely if you call your cat Klingon then you have to learn some Klingon to call it back.
Goch noch ne chock nee chach.... or something like that.

Still a bit crook as the Ausies say."

haHa! I like Obelix! Sorry, not nearly so handsome. We don’t get him here- rather culturally deprived we are. We do get "SpongeBob Squarepants" and other masterpieces of art and literature here, though. Excellent suggestion about learning some conversational Klingon- quite logical the cat won’t listen to us. Sorry to hear you are still a bit crook- hope you feel better soon. Always wanted to visit Down Under- imagine a country where nearly everything is poisonous! Simply wonderful! Even the world’s only venomous mammal- we only have rattlesnakes and scorpions and vampire bats, I am so envious.

Dave Cripps replies: "SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!.... etc

Actually I’ve seen a few imported cartoons and Old SpongeBob is much better 0

That is exactly why I will never get to Australia. Way too many little deadly creepy things... now New Zealand..."

Asterisk and Obelisk? Like Tom said, all we have is Spongboob Barfpants.

Dave Cripps replies: "Don’t underestimate SpongeBob. He’s like Top Cat only not based on Phill Silvers.

As long as it’s not that annoying one with the lab. But then Ren and Stimpy were nice and surreal."

You make one little typo...

Dave Cripps replies: "THis could be good..."

Just spent 30 minutes pointing a camcorder at a frozen curry, I Still don’t see how "Remove packaging and film lid" helps to cook it?

Dave Cripps replies: "Just as well it didn’t instruct you to fork it afterwards......



Appoloy not accepted Captain Cripps.... *Choke*"

Nice Prof pick Dave

Dave Cripps replies: "Nice hat with an Eagle Claw around the brim too "

Asterix comics! They were awesome- and Tintin!
Getafix The names were great though-Cacophonix.

Dave Cripps replies: "I liked the fishmonger.. Unhygenix "

Come to Michigan. Our weather is wild, but it won’t wipe out your house. We have one poisonous snake and it’s a wimp, and we have a really scary-looking spider that just wants to build web-sites in your house, but won’t bother you otherwise.

Dave Cripps replies: "Quick Google... Michigan... hang on all the mice have flick knives! Sounds dangerous!
I’m sorry to have to say this folks but making your house out of wood in Tornado Alley is just a recipie for disaster. Good job someone at Storm Celler Dot Com sold a load of Storm Cellars. We have a snake like that but I recon it’s just an old Hippie. It’ll leave you alone if you don’t annoy it."

wow haha nice.

Dave Cripps replies: "KK.. what’s nice I lost the plot.... again...."

We seem to do that all over the world, we build in areas that are dangerous. Houses on mud-slide prone hills, entire cities in flood plains, and cheap mobile homes in an area known for frequent tornadoes. And then we wonder why our structures get blown to bits and washed away when the storms come. My favorite is when expensive homes are built right on the beach. And later a big storm waves blows it apart and washes it to sea. Then the home is rebuilt in the same cheap fashion inviting disaster again. Duh!
