  | | Didn't I? I thought you said there was another one coming? I must have goofed-up somewhere along the line *^_^*
The thing with me is that I try to make my praise sound genuine, and not sound like butt-liking. I'd hate it to be misinterpreted that way 
But you deserve much praise, indeed. I just can't do you justice 
I'll give Irv a special birthday bash, yeah

| | DM float rocks. I can sleep well tonight  . Must remember to post it to Irv.
I got an article to update, plus two more to write. One's done up...hang on, I've just told you about this.
Well, the other is another jokey article. Something along the lines of "Gagging for a smacking".
The thing is with english, you can just make up words. Did this Japanese girl count "cheerzen" as a thank-you?
Slang does terrible things to a language

Methinks "cheerzen" may be universal. I don't see why not. Here's me going around exporting it! LOL
Yeah, I saw the posr. A while back I got an article about a song, and about 60-70% of it was lyrics. I accepted it cos because it was informative and factual, and you needed the lyrics to understand what the article was going on about, if not for the sake of completeness.
Of course, this was a few weeks before we all got this email, so I didn't put any copyright or stuff like that in *^_^*
Anyway, the editor that got it may have included it.

| | Lord knows! I know what it means, a munter is an ugly woman/girl/y'know, but I don't know when or where people started saying it.
Something I've asked myself is: where have I picked up my words from? All my swear words and slang or stuff. Actually, I could have a pretty good stab as to where I picked up basic swear words, but I dunno when or why I started using them. I know 'wanker' came pretty late, and my first word was something like 'bugger', and sticking up two fingers was rude...
Takes me back a long time!

| | Whew! I haven't been able to get on the internet for hours!! And then just before 3 the heavens smiled and I got a connection. If I don't seem to be responding in good time this weekend know that I am probably effing and blinding at my ISP for having more customers than infrastructure in this area. Anyhow, I just got latest installment of chart off to you and will write more tonight.
Take away my net and I FREAK!'
Irv actually started as a doodly with loaded palette knife and distorto impasto. I sketched the dace and lo! there he was. You can see the rapidity of the execution, and yet it all works somehow. So this is a galaxy-wide site. It simply turns out Irv is not a human, and neither is Bluebottle.
Man, hope I don't get thrown off while I'm posting. I probably won't get back on till midnight your time....
I'm really proud of the Indian statue of Rama by the way -- that was done freehand! I had a picture out of a book on oriental mythology and worked from that, but it wasn't a scan or clip art or anything.

| | I heard that Phil Collins had one of his albums end up not like he wanted, because he took -time- in doing it. Sometimes the best thing come out at the heat of the moment, before you have a chance to pause and reflect.
So, when'd you learn that Irv was blue? And Bluebottle, for that matter...
Must have missed the freehand statue *^_^*...so sorry.
My ISP has an annoying hobbit of not being able to load up my homepage, or a forum, for no apparent reason. And it disconnects me. It's not as frequent as it used to be, but it still bugs me.
Hey, u never heard SWLABR by Cream? Be thankful I didn't do NSU
