Gondolas and windmills.

dikes/dykes (both spellings are used it said in the dictionary) and wooden shoes

There are dikes in my wooden shoes?

Maybe that makes sense, though. They keep
out the slush and water.

Better than having termites in your wooden shoes.

True.

Dikes wouldn't keep *them* out.

I'm investing in little Dutch boy fingers, used to plug said dykes when they spring leakes.

I don't think leeks are as readily available in the markets until spring.

The markets are leaking?

I'd better stock up on watermelons,
then.

From another convo:

"While riding a big motorbike
A Dutch boy caught sight of a dyke
He knew that his role
Was to plug up the hole
But she turned him down just out of spite"

by lurking around i've just found this... not sure how to follow up that last post tho.

is there a dc meet on for spring? i'm at work and don't have time to trawl through backlog for details, could someone give me the short version?

The short version is that we've talked about the idea. No date or even a specific location has been set yet.

We're incredibly well organized, as you can see.

well... i'm subscribed now at any rate

If we actually make a decision, then you'll know all about it.

well I already made up my mind

I think I will have a glass of
what were we talking about?

You mean we were actually talking about something?



That's news to me...

There was a really nice hotel I stayed at in DC, and a really bad one I stayed at in Alexandria, VA. I must look up the names.

I do hope you'll remember to tell us
which one was terrific, and which one
was terrible, Mr. Christopher.
