    Labatt's
    EWWWWWW! Do love the green bottles south of the border though...I grew up in the home of Labatt's and only drank it for fear of any friends of mine who worked at the plant seeing me drinking something else...they got PISSED. Anyhoo, we do have coats, but this whole 8 months of winter thing has to end...drives one a bit batty to be honest. Now back to our regular programming - I have lots of ice for our beer and maybe some for margarita mix! AND WE DON'T ALL SAY EH! (actually I do - seemingly only when I travel and people are looking for it, it seems to creep out...weird)

    suck it up buttercup
    I do not miss the stiff wind and ball-shrinking wind chill blowing onshore from Lake Erie. Eh, rrrrrgrrrr? The only buttercups ever sucked up was my ball sack into my body cavity. I say Eh? because I could see Canada most days from some point. The only difference between Buffalonians and Canadians is, well there is none except the accent. Eh? But, Labatts Blue is not considered an import there like it is here. I love your beer Canada! At least I don't have to deal with all those Canadian quarters in my pocket anymore. Does this have anything to do with SSD planning? By Friday, my mind just turns to mush. Sorry for the rambling. I think my frantic Friday ramblings scared clowns off the other forum. p.s. sorry ladies, I'm, pretty sure you didn't need to hear all that ball talk.

    Yeah true
    you kids in upstate NY have it sometimes worse than us - granted it is way colder where I am, but that is a function of the fact I live near the g'd arctic circle...f-you Saskatchewan (how do you spell or say that again?!?). Nothing sends a chill through the spine of someone living near the great lakes like the term 'lake effect snow' read - utter hell and massive accumulations. I grew up near D-town and typically got around 10 to 15 ft of accumulation every winter...just mother nature took mercy on us and got rid of it by say early May...Where I am now, she just flips the bird at us and says "suck it up buttercup"

(kidding - it will all be gone by at the latest late June)

Do you know who I am, that's right Homey D Clown....think throwin stones is acceptable... Well, I don't think so....Homey don't play dat! Ok so mayor Mike, where do we go....stay on the path you say, which one....there are so many roads.... Ahhhh the Golden road that Dorothy spoke of, the yellow brick road.... But to get there I have to go thru Detroit....aren't there Lions and Tigers there, yeah and then Chicago....bears? Oh my.... Hey Dorothy the meek remember if we get to see the wizard, aside from asking to go home to TO, I mean Kansas, you have to tell him that the Dead are only playing 3 shows, all in Chicago....and Trey will play Jerrys parts.....most disturbing though is that Donna won't be there..... Ooooohhhhhhhyahhhhhayyyahhhayyyyy...wait that caterwauling ....listen.... Playin like a wave up on the sand....ya here that....the Promised Land can't be far..... A little help here, I'm on this tightrope and there ain't no net....but if we stay on the path....I'm sure we will see Oz the Great and powerful, he's in the Emerald city of Bedrock..... Oh yeah brontosaurus burgers and pterodactyl stew for supper, hopefully the Great and Powerful Oz will bless the feast.....(hint, hint).... We're off to see the meister, the wonderful wizard of Oz.... Later kitties....

After addressing the poppy situation, 40 winks later, an ER visit and 2 amps of narcan, Homey wakes from his dream like state, steadfast on reaching the great and powerful Oz.... To his left he sees Dorothy doing the thriller dance with Michael...boy did Eddie Van Halen sell out...but for the sake of time we will save that thought for another day....

Those poppies are glorious, said Dorothy of the North, just the spot to take a slumber.What's that in the distance, a figure of rodent royalty. The queen of mice and rats in drain ditches is here too!

Having awoken from her poisonous sleep, Dorothy found herself being stared down by hundreds of field mice. Whilst she slept, the Tim man had chopped off the head of a wildcat who was chasing down the Queen of the Field Mice. "Off with its head", he shrieked! Wait that's a different tale.Oh well, off The path again and back down the rabbit hole I Goes.

As we begin the next chapter, Dorothy has just awoken from a DeLerious doze in the coCaIN fields. Tinman, by the stroke of his ax has decapitated a wildcat Who had been chasing the Queen of field mice. This brave feat has earned him A pledge of allegiance by the queen and the thousands of mice. No doubt this rodent help will come In handy for Dorothy and her crew on their quest.

Gotta change my avatar back....that was a sick joke....Mr T really?Not cool... Kitties... Follow your own paths... They are your own... There is a fountain..... If our paths cross in Chicago or Oz or Buffalo I am all in.... However I am taking a step back... To quote Roger Waters... Through the phish eyed lens of tear stained eyes I can barely define the shape of this moment in time And far from flying high in clear blue skies I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.... gotta get down to the Cumberland Mine, that's where I mainly spend my time.... If you need me, you know how to find me... Chicago or bust.... Happy April Fools Day... Thanks Tami, George, Totem, Friend...where's my money brah?, and Foghorn aka the chicken hawk... And especially Mike Langley...love you Klang.... rrrrrgrrrrr out!

All is right in the Dead.net City of Oz, except for the litter of meece, a headless wildcat, that barefoot lady with the house on top of her, and various characters in our play who might not ever look at a forum post under the Sundream Dayshiners thread ever again in the same way.... Thank you for imparting your wisdom on this thread, and showing it isn't just a great rock and roll band that can play "Space and Drums" during the middle of an otherwise structured set; characters like you can get pretty wild too. As you leave the theater of the mind, be sure to leave little crumbs so we can follow you safely out of the forest. Or, as the case may be, rescue you should you get lost. Take care, keep the stories coming this afternoon, know that the Wizard has your back, and you still have a few hours left on this April Ship of Fools Day to play your hand with us. We won't fold, we won't bluff, we won't double down, and we won't try to go all-in; that comes in July. Thanks one and all...as darkness descends this evening, fear not, the door is open, the fire burns steadily in the hearth, there is a snifter of brandy on the side table, and we'll leave the light on for you. Take care, don't ever forget your friends and family and be kind to all. Oh yes, one more thing...remember that you CAN dance as you listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock your soul, for you most certainly do know how these songs go.... Peace Geowizardfredmeister
