St. Lou, MO Slippery Ice Storm Drive to Post #500

Well, now that there are actually FOUR of us, I'm thinking it's time for us to start getting our post counts up, so people will think we've actually got something going on in St. Louis.

Thread title is in honor of the weather that has postponed the law firm's holiday party until mid-January.

Read the posts if you insist, but believe me, worthwhile content is going to be optional, and rare.

We fired our guns but the British kept acomin'

We fired once more anda they begin arunnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

 

I just had to reply. Steph, you are crazy! In a good way of course.

 

Why, thank you, Meg!

Crazy is as crazy does, Mizz JediGemini.

 

Y'all are silly. I felt it important to say that.

Thom

 

Silly is as silly does, Mistuh Thom.

 

You better not pout.
you better not cry.
you better not shout,
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is Gunning you down!

 

Aw, you're very welcome, Steph.
Ya know, I think it runs in Geminis. Craziness and silliness, that is (and probably a lot more stuff)!

 

Well, we've got to reach 500 posts while the phrase "slippery ice storm drive" still might be applicable. I figure we've only got about 10 weeks to get there! So I have chosen this thread to post an interesting seasonal anecdote:

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year (the only members of the deer family, Cervidae, to have females do so). Male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to every historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, every single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen had to be a girl. We should've known. Only women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

 

Oh, what a femininely typical thing to post Jedigal. Uh, don't look at my screen name. Uh, okay I'm whipped. oh well. Nevermind.

 

She was going to drive the chevy off the levy but the levy was wet.

 

Just posting cause it seems like this board is having a hard time getting posts just like the Chicago board.
I think everyone got the new Star Wars game on N64 and decided to ditch us.
It could happen.

 

Maybe everyone got trapped by the slippery ice storm. Or are hanging upside-down in a Wampa cave. Or had too much egg nog.

Aha! Other people posting on my drive thread! We might slip to 500 before winter ends if this keeps up!

And hanging in a wampa cave is >not< a good excuse for not posting. they're supposed to use the force to call the keyboard and mouse to them! Heh heh heh.

 

Work bad! Working all but 2 days during break!!!!! To many days at work...

And never go to work with only 3 hours of sleep... It's not conducive to good work. (I kinda did that yesterday....)

 

Then you just sleep at work Athena. Oh wait, did I just say that outloud?



AHHHHHH, sleep.

Steve "Steel Lepp"

 

so, Steve, how bout tellin' us the origin of your screen name?

 

I would sleep, but since I'm standing the entire time... and selling tickets at a counter... well.. I really don't have much of a chance to sleep. I guess I should just be glad that on New Years day, I didn't show up at work still high, drunk, or with a hangover like most everyone else.
