sorry Rune, had to do this.
As I wrote down my school memories I felt rather old, but under which royal highness did you serve ? Louis XIV or Henry 4th ?

MemberT'was merely an expository spoof on pomp & circumstance. The poster's name - Keymaster - hinted at prose adventure games, with kings, knights, wizards, and dragons, not to mention tempting wenches with bare midriffs and damsels in distress. I hope it didn't hide the serious point of my post... archival searches.
Truth be told, rather than serve at the pleasure of royalty, I would most likely choose the role of thorn in their side, burr in their hindquarters or pain in their neck. I hold no truck with petty tyrants nor do I trust any so-called leader who believes to be representing a deity.
Now that you mention it, though, the talk of grade school did make me feel old. "Duck & Cover", pats of REAL butter in the cafeteria, no drugs or guns being sold in the restrooms, actual booklearning going on in classrooms... ah, thems were the days.

Rune I love "Language Theater". We played it all the time with our children from their beginning, and are doing it still. They learned to listen
carefully, and to speak and read very young. - I don't think, the point has gone lost, far from it!
To the bare midriffs - Yes - hmmm , no not here...
feeling old - one thing is worth : being old.
Now we have the question : what is old ? hmmm, no not here...
Here and now I'm going to make breakfast.
Have a good bulk-download today ;)

The Word Keymaster reminded me of "Ghost Busters. :)

[Dana, possessed by "The Gatekeeper," answers the door]
Dana Barrett: Are you the Keymaster?
Dr. Peter Venkman: Not that I know of.
[She slams the door in his face. Venkman knocks again]
Dana Barrett: Are you the Keymaster?
Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes. Actually I'm a friend of his, he asked me to meet him here. .http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0087332/quotes

Membersomething to think about:
- Why is it that if someone tells you that there are 1 billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint you will have to touch it to be sure?
(or, speaking as a former waitress, if you tell someone a plate is hot- they will touch it)

MemberAs science takes a back seat to marketing, rumors abound that museums plan to dumb down exhibits so they're "hip" and thus attract youngsters weaned on public noneducation and commercial broadcast television. The strategy is said to have caught on after a jungle researcher described a courtship dance of the Manakin as the Michael Jackson Moonwalk". Now, under pressure from a major corporate sponsor, a treasured museum artifact will soon be relabeled:

Membergraylox-
i love it..i'm thinking of applying.
part-time sounds good.
------------------------------
i actually came to this thread to post this cute joke:A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep.
Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him about where he got it.
He told them to go away and let him get some sleep but they persisted until finally he gave in.
"OK, follow me" he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him.
Down through the valley they went, across a river and into a forest full of trees.
Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him.
"Now, do you see that tree over there?" he asked.
"Yes, Yes, Yes!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy.
"Good" said the bat, "Because I sure as heck didn't!"

MemberThings to Do When Your ISP Is Down
1. Dial 911 immediately.
2. Open the curtains to see if anything has changed over the past 2 years.
3. You mean there's something else to do?
4. Threaten your ISP with an impeachment vote.
5. Work.
6. Re-introduce yourself to your immediate family.
7. Get that kidney transplant you've been putting off.

Memberfunkymom - I'll get right on that. I'm almost certain I can get you a 25% discount!

maizeydaze, yes I was collecting black and white cows over years, and suddenly they became famous, and everybody had black and white cows.
It started, because there noses were all-around when I took hollyday pictures in our Swedish paradise; and so we got more cow photos than photos of our children. Now all my black 'n white stuffed animals go one by one to my grandchildren.

Membergraylox - I know what you mean about black & white cows becoming common. Several people I know have collections, especially in the kitchen. My 12 year old stepdaughter's best friend has a serious obsession with cows. Everything has to do with cows. For her 12th birthday party she insisted that all the children bring a b-day card with a cow theme. We had to make one on the computer.
Have you seen the California Cheese "Happy Cows" commercials? Here's what I've found but I've seen others on the television. They're very funny!
