Sorry! I turned my computer off early. Or I turned it back on late this morning. One or the other. :o)
"caboose" was killer. I ended up checking a rhyming dictionary!

Tsk, tsk. I have lost all respect for your ability to scheme.
The owl thing sounded funny though. One point for Slytherin.

And I expect the unexpected. That way I'm prepared for anything. I'll wing it, but if you happen to find out soon, let me know and I'll make some adjustments. :o)

MrA - have I told you lately that you amuse me? *grin*
I find your wit constitutive to my continued delectation of the LT forums.

Please tell Ms Donna that my package arrived today and all the gifts are very appreciated! Missie was entranced that she had something from Australia and I suspect now that she will be learning all she can about your fine country. Cole was tickled when I told him his toy was a wallabe. Mary and I love our candles. Thank you for going to all the trouble to send this to us!

Thanks for getting in touch with me. Your list is very interesting. I can see some books that I would definitely like to read. On the subject of "Dracula" -- I think it is one of the best books I have read. Have you read any of the Horatio Hornblower books by the way?
I think I will read A Private Cosmos next.
Cheers -- Charles

I was just thinking about you and Donna yesterday! I watched Australia last night and thought it was a magnificent film. I HAVE to go to Oz land one day!
I miss you too! No one makes me laugh like you do, Andrew. NO ONE!

I died laughing with the "Ms. Balthasar Short" line ... Thank you for enlivening LT with your belletristic wit!

Just wanted to thank you lots and lots and lots for the candles. The packaging was wonderful, you should be very proud of yourself :-)
If I can send anything to you guys, just let me know. (WITHIN REASON!! I know you...)

However, I have only points for one book now. I will mooch it, but you can delay the sending. For the other 3 books, I need to get two mooches. One of those I know for certain, as I'm going to send out a book in the beginning of September to the US. I will try to get people to mooch from me sooner though, so I can mooch the other books as soon as possible :)

I admit, I grew up with comic books and action figures. I never read Watchmen though. I did wait forever for Professor Xavier to invite my to come to his school and make me an X-Man, similar to how many people we know wait for their invitation to Hogwarts.
And gee whiz, MrA, how deprived were you that you didn't read comic books? I'm so sorry.

The secret of the inverted dates is the Top Secret strategy the colonies used to gain their independance. This also worked during WWII. What do you think D-DAY stands for?
Nun chuck skills... why does that sound hilarious? And why do I picture your practice sessions with such hilarity? I mean a girl tears up just trying to grasp that tidbit. Are you on U-Boob (U-Tube)? And do you wear the bear while you nun chuck?

Your collection defies neat categorization. Someone who reads science fiction and Iris Murdoch? Neil Gaiman and Jeanette Winterson? The Book Analyst must give this one some thought.

In my quest for regal attire, I found MsDonna's object.
http://www.englishmonarchs.co.uk/crown_jewels.htm
The Orb, a golden globe topped by a diamond encrusted cross dates to 1661 for the coronation of Charles II and is symbolic of the world ruled by Christianity, it is held in the monarch's left hand during the coronation ceremony. The jeweled cross which surmounts the orb reflects the monarch's title of Defender of the Faith.

That is so stuck in my head now!
And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'
