Depends, can I have a and some instead of an absurdly big bird with dry meat?

is compulsory surely!

* opens lots of bottles to see who comes *

I'm up for some , even though, as a Canadian, I celebrated Thanksgiving Oct. 8.

Nothing wrong being ahead of the times!

I'm glad to hear it. My clock is set half an hour fast.

Doesn't prevent me from being about 6 hours ahead of you, paulh

and all on the same ship in the Lighthouse bar. Ya can't get a more interesting bar anywhere in the universe

"Doesn't prevent me from being about 6 hours ahead of you, paulh"[Pierce]

That only counts if time is your thing.

Is time my thing? Yes it is. I don't know how much time will be coming my way so I try to remember to be grateful for each and every moment

As for being ahead of you, I'm not really, of course

Actually we both live in the exact same time, paulh, but distance distorts our perception

It may take the sun 6 hours to travel from Nykøbing Falster, Denmark, to Boston, Massachusets, (or to be more precise for the to turn) and it would take me even longer. Depending on means of transportation it might even take weeks

But if I called you on the phone we could be speaking at the exact same time (well, more or less, anyway)

If there were polar bears they wouldn't

That's a big if. Polar bears and penguins don't normally come within 12,000 miles of each other, unless they are in zoos. Fortunately, I don't have a cellar anyway.

Where would they hide if there is not a basement ...

I just heard a strange noise from the cabin next door ...

On this ship, they might be frequent visitors to the refrigerator, taking care not to get trapped in it.

Bravo, paulh, you got it in one

We have holds for all endangered species in order to save them. Once is back on track we will set them free again, of course

No hold for penguins yet, they seem to be doing okay for now

go Pengu!

It's a good thing these fantastic swimmers are living near the edge. Antarctica is the driest continent of them all

you are right, PAL, this continent would not suit either of us, have an
