Hey you! How's life at Spilt-Ink?

Ever get those desultory ramblings I submitted? Perhaps not a good idea to
host them-- I'd be a disgrace to my country...

"This is the best that the Americans can do for creative writing? No wonder
they need someone in India to tell them how to use their own software!" :-D

Anyway, with regards to TR-- haven't really done much googling for TR news
of late.

I reposted Snark^'s report from the E3 convention and Crystal D. was err....

Conspicuous by its absence?

Wish I had a crystal-- ha ha pun intended-- a crystal ball and perhaps some
spare money for the stock exchange...

For some odd reason we keep ignoring them, so they yell.

Yes! You're absolutely right! My Mistake! What did our helpful vermin

A thousand apologies!

Horse whipping might be very nice either.

How about "Orcish slime balls"?

I've got to get that series on DVD.

That and Xena just because when I'm not dreaming about Claudia Black
(Farscape), I'm also in love with Hudson Liek-- such a wicked smile!

Nice pair of gams too...

Ah! The open road!

*Ice cold* rain trickling through your slicker...
The taste of dust in your nose ...
The smell of bugs in your teeth ...
The satisfying aroma of freshly burnt flesh on the muffler guard ...
The spritely tingling sensation of denim and asphalt being ground into
the lower dermal layers of your thighs and elbows...
The brilliant christmas bell crash slash hammer of Thor as helmet meets
rear windscreen ...

Ah, the *good* old days!

Well, no that's why you don't ride in the rain, and you wear lovely AGP coat
jackets.

AND A HELMET! which is governed by Australian Federal law, btw....God, who'd
ride a motorbiek without a helmet...oh. oh PW, no. oh no.

Try an Jet Helmet - you always will know an happy biker at the flys on his theeth.

Nothing can beat the exitement of an encounter with an an big fat bumblebee at 200 km/h ;-)

And you have cool words we don't have like "bloody" and "lorry" and
pronounce things in that nifty way of yours like "*vit*-amins", and
"al-you-minium"

Phonetics would indeed be a nightmare.

Last time I called India for tech support (not) I had a bit of fun with the
guy, and really laid it on thick with an imitation West Texas accent.

"Whar ewe frum boy? Ewe don't sound like yore frum 'round here..."

(we don't really talk that way of course, but it was worth it just to hear a
moment of confused silence on the other end of the line...

Then I switched to a nice William F. Buckley "Boston Brahmin" accent, and I
think that he knew I was having a little fun with him...

Humor is an international language, and he lightened up after we'd both had
a chuckle.

(still didn't get anywhere with "tech support" tho....)

Would you believe that law has expired without renewal here in Florida!
It's true, and the Florida Congress says they have no intent of
reinstating it!

All I can say is ...
we must have one *h*ll* of a Brain Surgeons lobby here!

"Yes, brilliant! We'll get them to repeal the helmet law! *That* will
perk up business."

No, ahhh...think you're getting a bit confused there. Lorry is very big, as
indeed are '*vit*-amins' and 'yogit' (yoghurt) in the UK.

But we do have bloody...and shitcan.....and thunderbox....and emus....and,
uhm....rubbish bins, torches etc. Our vitamins are just plain old
'vightamins'.

Lol...ahh poor tech support...there was a doco on that a little while
ago....explaining how the 'cadettes' even learn unique grographical and
social particulars, such as what a wombat is, 'gi'day', and what a sheila
is.
