His last outing was ugly again, not real ugly but yuck

He's back on the mound on Tuesday from Denver. Given that place is a launching pad, we will see what happens.

But I'm happy

Kotik, congrats on VW. especially the 2 year part. Oh and by the way you said the next chapter of Selaya Hills was coming out when???? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

We had a s***load of fun at work today :lol: Every Friday we have a telephone conference with our team members in Nottingham in her majesty's empire. Our dear colleagues from the Island always mock us poor Germans for our alleged lack of humour or sense of such. So instead of hitting back at them that they fry everything that doesn't struggle anymore, we dared them to a game. We declared today, Friday the 26th of October to be insult-your-colleagues-just-for-the-f******-sake-of-it-day :mrgreen: So we spent most of the morning hurling abuse at each other, whenever one of us had to IM or phone one of the Tommies and they would insult the raw stuffing out of Jerry when the roles were reserved. Funny bit is, our team leader wasn't in on it. So at 2pm he initiated the TelCo and things went like this:

When you enter a Telco, you dial a specific number, then enter a code and state your name. I've become good friends with Jon from Blackpool (some pretty brilliant kid, who was hired recently straight out of university) and this is what happened:

Me: *states name*. (Beep sounds and I'm in)
Jon: Yeah, Mofo, 'S up old fart?
Me: "You're the one to talk, ugly."
Jon: At least I'm not the one, who said 'Cherio Mates', when the Romans left.
Me: "Yeah, but you're the only one of us, who couldn't get laid if he gave a woman of ill repute a Million quid."
Jon: "says the man, wo was around when that particular profession was invented."
Me: "sas the man, who's face knows what the inside of a meat grinder looks like."

By this time most of my colleagues had utterly lost it, while our poor team leader was just short of hyperventilating. It was a riot :lol: :lol: :lol:

Talk about happy,

Today my darling wife and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. Given that we're both really tired after last nights election disappointment, it will be a quiet affair.

Oh and I will be difficult to reach after Friday Nov 9 thru Nov 22 I be steelhead fishin' with a buddy

Congrats on the anniversary. But hold it there mate! Election disappointment ??? :shock: Don't tell me you voted for that blithering idiot Romney, who thinks that half of America's population is a waste of skin and organs :banghead: We Europeans still don't understand how you managed to vote a certifiable retard like Dubya into office TWICE!! How come that you guys only nominate people who wouldn't know their arsehole from a hole in the ground :crazed: ? And here was the next pollution to human genome, who couldn't catch a cold without written instruction. How in the name of all that's holy could people vote for a man who has all the intellectual properties of a bucket of horse manure?? :o

Well there are some of us who are not enthralled with social democracy ala Europe see Greece. Our constitution has saved from many of europe's experiments, Stalin, Hitler, Bismarck and the numerous other tinpot dictators.
I get a kick out of how Germany is stuck bailing out the rest of the continent. Keep paying those taxes.

This is an official admin announcement. Political statements, especially inflammatory and offensive ad hominem attacks on political candidates some of us might have voted for, are not allowed on this forum. Although it is perfectly acceptable to express your own feelings of joy, indifference, and/or disappointment regarding the outcome of the election, any further mention of recent election results in any manner which might be considered offensive by anyone at any point along the political spectrum will be grounds for administrative action. Let's just all get along, guys. This is not the way to do it. - Distracted

Happy Anniversary, Weeble! I hope the steelhead revive your spirits.

Kotik, bashing political figures here isn't going to help us get along. We are a very diverse group and we have a hard enough time even discussing fictional characters in a civil manner.

My predominant feeling today is relief. I hope I can stop obsessively following the news now and get back to some writing.
