The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and Tolkien - The One Ring

Monday again here. Gonna be another of those busy weeks.

But I ahve been watchuing the World from Above and now I want to go to Dresden, Germany. The amazing rebuilding they have done since the war...and that hunting lodge. Wow!

And I thought "razed to the ground" is an odd turn of phrase. I know what it means but it sounds like an oxymoron thingy.

Is is April yet? I needs to go to Hawai'i!!!

by **rowanberry** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:46 am

Yes, it's definitely Monday.

Where did the weekend go?

I've got a lot to do this week, so I won't be much around. I'll try to pop in at times though.

hee.

How about Bob the Alien's tour of the solar system??

:D:D

*removes astronaut gear*

Neat tour. Thanks, Tooks.

:D

Ok, who's got the next tour?
Hope all liked my Port Orchard Tour.

Have a good Monday.

Later..

Great "Lunch Tour" Calma . . . thank you! :thumbsup:

LOL Tooks, you slay me.

Not sure who had Japan, but I still plan to take y'all to Hawai'i . . . just need to set aside an hour or two to finish putting it all together.

The weekend got eaten up with Brunch and new-bed-shopping for my aging mom on Saturday and a 45 km Bike Ride yesterday in honour of my late friend Roger Tetrault and to support the Alberta Cancer Foundation. And while the ride was fabulously enjoyable, I was one tuckered Scribe when I got home yesterday sooooo . . .

nl, you'll be surprised how fast that flight to Maui is gonna get here . . .

which reminds us precious, must finish looking into dates and getting flight information / bookings, etc.

So much to do, so little time . . .

Hope everyone is at least having as good a Monday (or Tuesday) as possible.

:D:D

Boy, TORC has been really dragging today.
I hope tptb are looking into it.

Not much happening here today.
My tomatoes are coming in real nice.
I get about 15-20 cherry tomatoes everyday.
They don't last long... :wink:

Just waiting for Monday Night Football.
My 'Hawks are playing the Pack.

Have a good Evening/Afternoon/Morning

Later...

after that ending I almost feel bad for the Packers....almost. :rofl:

by **Calma** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 9:37 pm

Tie goes to the offense, t0bY... :rofl:

But really the real refs have to get back on the field.
The owners should cough up the dough and sign the contract.
There were so many stupid calls and reversed calls.
I can't totally blame the replacement refs,
It's not their fault they don't know what the hell they're doing.
But the game is not being played right.
I see the players trying to get away with stuff because the refs aren't up to speed.
It's a mockery, but all the teams have to put up with this sham.

But still, I'm glad the Seahawks won.

by **IrisBrandybuck** » Tue Sep 25, 2012 6:52 am

My mornings off to a roaring start.
Toilet at work overflowed on me. Fortunately I knew how to turn the valve off, but it's still embarrassing.

*runs in*

Busy day.

*runs out*

by **Calma** » Tue Sep 25, 2012 8:16 am

Iris, Tooks, it's days like this that makes me happy to be retired.

don't hate

by **Martin the Warrior** » Tue Sep 25, 2012 8:45 am

***Enters in via wormhole***

Man, I hate today, the reason: I have begun writing a cool comic strip (mainly for myself and I'm going to not tell details here because I don't want someone to steal the idea) in my spare time. I really like the idea of it but (because it's kind of a take on another character in a real comic strip) I wanted to try to sell it to the actual company. But, they don't accept unsolicited material. Oh well, c’est la vie (that's life).

***Opens wormhole salutes and jumps in.

MARTIN!!!

Bye hon!

by **Tookish_Traveler** » Tue Sep 25, 2012 3:24 pm

We need to get some more interest going for MoME if we want to do it this year. Should we start a thread under The Hobbit forum?

What say you?

by **Calma** » Tue Sep 25, 2012 5:23 pm

I concur... Start one in the Hobbit thread.

Could the slowness of TORC be holding people back?

by **notlistening** » Tue Sep 25, 2012 5:59 pm

Been a busy week so far, though I think I'm keeping pace with it all. Be glad when Kat gets back. I'm taking a week off and going to see a friend down south in Wollongong, photogrpahing a musical and then heading north to see teh folks and my nephew's 7th b'day! Can't believe he's so big already.

Scribbles, hope you don't plan too much riding in Hawai'i. I can ride but not that far...without collapsing and you needing to drag my corpse like body back home.

by **Calma** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 6:48 am

HEY!!!!111oneoneone

Wake up!

Wasssup with no one posting in this thread for 12 blinkin' hours?
How are we to get a bright shiney new TVM if you don't post?
Sheesh....

nl, have a good week off.

:D
My birthday wishes to your nephew when it happens.

:D

by **IrisBrandybuck** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 7:02 am

What annoys me is the slowness seems arbitrary. It will be slow loading, etc. and then everything will be find for a while...and then it will suddenly slow up again. :roll:

by **Calma** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 7:11 am

Word, Iris.

It also is slow when I post now.
It's getting worse, imo.
Has anyone responded to the calls for help?

by **Tookish_Traveler** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 8:46 am

gah. Yea. Right now it is slowish.

Even on an otherwise super-fast connection.

I will get a MoME post in The Hobbit forum later.

...meanders out...

by **Calma** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:01 am

So let us have just one more Limmerick.
Put words together and make them click
They are short
And can be read at Court
Or left on the desk of a hick.

by **SilverScribe** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:20 am

. . . rushes in . . .

Sorry, another drive-by . . . work is caaaaraaaaayyyyyzeeeeee!!! :shock:

nl, I promise not to drag you into anything that will cause you to become corpsified or gross.

The messageboard we know as TORC
has been slower than a mummified dork,
Sent mail to a Mod
to ask why the clog
and if someone can pull out the fork!

Heeee. Eeeep! gotta run again . . .

. . . rushes out . . .

:D:D

by **Vanaladiel** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:40 am

Are we there yet??? :thppt:

Okay you had to know someone was going to say that sooner or later on a road trip!!! :roflmbo:

Sorry it had to be me. NOT!!!!!

Don't make me turn this car around....

And you knew someone would reply that way, too.

by **Vanaladiel** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:49 am

Nah my dad always told us, we will get there when we get there and not a moment sooner! Or HOLD IT!!!

by **notlistening** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:39 pm

Great final limericks! :rofl:

So my day is going better today. I have caught up with where I should be. Phyiso beat me up last night and put my ribs back in place. Who knew those things could move so much??

Scribbles, you bringing the sword with you on holidays? We could scare some fish. Or skewer a pig and roast it...?

Love Jimmy Fallon. He's so funny.

Okay, almost meeting time...

by **Tookish_Traveler** » Thu Sep 27, 2012 6:42 am

Put your ribs back in place??? :shock:

Where did they go? :shock:

Poor notlistening lost a rib
And this is not a fib
Physio brought it back
By giving her a whack
'Ouch!' nl ad-libbed.

:roll:

by **IrisBrandybuck** » Thu Sep 27, 2012 11:18 am
