hey pixi, how've you been? -- laluna, 11:23:52 05/22/03 Thu (168.169.89.28)
well, we're heading to my in-law's lake house for the weekend. But of course, since it *has* been so beautiful out, this weekend is supposed to be raining and only around 62 degrees. But being stuck inside is still so much better when you're someplace else, especailly on the water ;-)
So what's with the rejection letters? ((hugs)) to you if needed. Hey, e-mail me if you get a chance re: your son's Nick video thing...

Oh not my rejection letters - the firm is rejecting potential clients -- Pixiskater in the most boring legalese possible., 11:32:34 05/22/03 Thu (207.30.202.147)
Hi Laluna - do I have your email? I would love to tell you about it - got a contract today, he will definetely be on television. Once I found out the date I'll let the board know so they can vote for him. Your trip sounds fun - I am stuck in rehearsal most of the weekend. Plus filming new audition scenes for Nickelodeon. You can email me your email - I'm just Pixiskater at aol too.

Is this your alter ego, Badpenguin? Or maybe your yearbook pic could be -- Pixiskater, 11:37:41 05/22/03 Thu (207.30.202.147)
Your penguin in medieval armour. It is all your fault that I now have a mental image of a penguin in armour being hit with a giant spoon dancing in my brain.

Well, I'm not a regular, so no yearbook picture for me. But how about this one? -- BadPenguin of the Few, the Pure, the Paladins, 11:44:03 05/22/03 Thu (216.80.57.190)
This one's more heroic, but the other looks more like a penguin

Not a regular? Well, I'm sure the legion of penguin fans would all sign your nomination -- Pixiskater - having a hard time making up my mind, 11:57:51 05/22/03 Thu (207.30.202.147)
Well, the little secret service guy is more cute, but you are right the Medieval penguin looks very heroic. I guess it all depends on what type of image you want to project.

Splice means to connect two lines (ropes) together or in this case, repair a broken line. -- BadPenguin of the salty seas, 11:59:20 05/22/03 Thu (216.80.57.190)
It is also an old nautical phrase for let's have a party.
Because splicing a mainbrace line was such an arduous and difficult task, when it was complete the Captain would generally knock off work for the rest of the day and treat the crew with drinks at his own expense. Now the term "Splice the mainbrace" simply means the boss says, "Leave work, drinks are on me!"
There's an old tail of King George V in the 1930s visiting a British ship that had performed well. He arranged with the captain that during the tour of the ship, he would come across a broken mainbrace. He looked down at it, asked the captain what it was, and the captain told him. The King famously decreed, "Well, splice it!" to which the captain turned to the crew and said, "You heard His Majesty. Splice the mainbrace!" which was met with much rejoicing as it meant the King was throwing a party for the crew.

Slice the mainbrace then.I'm your minion so does that mean we throw drinks on you -- Gemma, 12:04:07 05/22/03 Thu (203.220.204.237)
But how do we drink them then? ;-D

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [>
Nah, throwing drinks on me would be alcohol abuse, yes? Better to drink them, I think. :-D -- BadPenguin, 12:29:36 05/22/03 Thu (216.80.57.190)

Hi TSOOP - I was wondering where you were! -- Pixiskater (gropes and hugs), 12:30:14 05/22/03 Thu (207.30.202.147)
It does get confusing jumping between all the boards. I said hi to you on the original morning thread. Sorry I missed you on the DSN yesterday.

Hey there Pixi!! Yes it seems we just crossed each others path. -- tsoop waving to Pixiskater, 12:49:43 05/22/03 Thu (66.103.248.171)
And the boards don't help, boy they sure seem to break easy these days. I had to run out to the store this morning, hubby decided last night we were going somewhere this weekend, so I needed to run out for supplies!! But I am here now, so gropes and hugs right back at you!

Yeah, Alpha's up but VoyDemon is fighting every new post. Grrrrrr... -- BadPenguin- Where's the troll hammer when you need it?, 12:51:08 05/22/03 Thu (216.80.57.190)
Big hugs & gropes for Pixiskater, tsoop, DistractoGirl, and Gemma (if she hasn't gone to bed yet. Shhhh... *tiptoeing out*)
By the way, DG, I enjoyed the Distracted Duo show you put on with J yesterday. *amused* Of course, I was highly amused by her Chosen review, too. I think the world would be in trouble if we ever teamed you guys up with Flan and Nibs from the General board. Hee!
