See you all in three weeks.

[IowaMan]

It's time for me to get going. I'm heading out to visit my parents in California for the next three weeks. Haven't seen them in four years and I'm very, very excited and can't wait to get there later on today.

Don't believe I'll be visiting Pixies on their computer so you won't be seeing me around until I get back home. Who knows, maybe I'll run into Emily Deschanel on a beach out there, fall madly in love and the next you'll see of me is in the gossip rags. :p

Hey, I've been planning this trip for about six months now........ things like that are bound to creep into this pea brain of mine every now and again. :D

Hopefully there will be health and happiness for you all while I'm gone. And when I return I'm sure I'll be smiling because the Cubs will be in first place by then................ won't they? :wish:

I'm sure I'll be smiling for many other reasons as well. Most notably due to the fact that I'll also be making a little side trip before I head back home. :nod:

And hey, just in case you don't see me here at Pixies......... if you see a skinny, bald guy, with a bit of white in his goatee and a huge smile on his face and a look of complete bewilderment in his eyes standing arm in arm with the aforementioned Ms. Deschanel in the gossip rags.... that's probably me. :D

Now you knew I was gonna have to post her pic again, didn't ya? ;)

Take care everybody! :wave:

He's decided he wants a bird just like his mom's when he gets home :D

[cavegirl]

:rofl: he said that to me too, lol.

[sodaklostsoul]

Gee, he did'nt tell me about his mom's bird. :(

[Scarecrow]

Cubs win, Cubs win

[Coaster]

Did his mom give him the bird? :D

[dicksbro]

SInce we're talking about birds, did anyone ever hear the story about the bird in the turd? :confused: Best I can remember it from I think my high school days it went something like this ...

An ol' Minnesota farmer is riding in his one-horse drawn wagon along an old road on a cold winter's day when he looks up and notices a small bird in the road. Bringing his wagon to a halt, he climbs down and goes over to the bird and realizes the poor thing is going to freeze to death if left like that. Looking back at his wagon, he sees the horse has just deposited a large, warm turd onto the road and an idea hits him. Carrying the bird over, he gently sets it down into the turd which he hopes will warm it back up. Then, climbing back onto his wagon, he continues down the road.

Sure enough, the warmth of the horse dropping gradually revives the bird and it starts to chirp. Softly at first, but more loudly as it regains it's strength.

A fox, walking through the woods hears the chirping and goes to investigate. Seeing the little bird chirping away, the wiley fox darts out onto the road and gobbles the little bird right down.

There's a moral to the story.

The one that puts you into a mess isn't always your enemy.

And the one who gets you out isn't always your friend.

But, most importantly, when you're in it up to your neck .... don't sing.

:jacques:

[sodaklostsoul]

lol

[Scarecrow]

Boy I hope Iowaman hurrys back its getting deep in here




LMAO

[sodaklostsoul]

I dunno about a bird but he is seeing a giant mouse today.

[IowaMan]

OMG, I just read thru all of this.......... you guys take the cake. :rofl:

Made it home just fine, in case anybody missed it. Thanks for thinking of me while I was gone guys. It's a pretty good feeling to know you're missed. :D

He's decided he wants a bird just like his mom's when he gets home :D
:rofl: he said that to me too, lol.
Um now, I'm thinking there was some sort of misunderstanding about that. :D
