h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

First, pancakes, American style (with streaky bacon... Should've gotten a round meat, but BACON)

Then, tournament for PaperKid's team. They went into the tournament undefeated, and left it the same way In the dreich, no less, after a full season of dry games.

Then, my fertile chicken hatching eggs that I swapped a jar of blackberry jam and a jar of green beans for arrived! 11 Marans eggs, and 9 Sulmtaler eggs. Photos of the eggs (and the packing job, with commentary) can be seen at http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1022588/chickens-in-ya-window/1820#post_15970550 I'll be splitting the eggs between my incubator and my broody hen after they have sat for a day, to rest (shipping is hard on eggs, even if they've been packed awesomely).

Then there was the team party--balloons, basketballs, skate wheels, , cookies...

When I have bacon I like to have it with a crispy round. I love to know what round bacon would like, does it look like anything like a gammon steak: http://www.stiltonbutchers.co.uk/uploads/images/products/product_100_2.jpg

well, if your doing round things, and with bacon.... nice round fried eggs and some slices of black pudding! MMM. OK. You've forced me. gona make an omlette for lunch that's round right?

If I get "a round to it" will that do
Polo mint any one

Bacon can be round if it is Canadian Bacon

Y'see, it'd have to be either Canadian bacon, or not-bacon-at-all to be round--sliced sausage or the like.

Anyone interested in following the incubation of the eggs (and the comments of the peanut gallery) can follow along at http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1036123/the-hatch-that-byc-built-warning-pic-heavy

Too bad the timing doesn't allow for me to do it during NaJoPoMo, though the hatch date should be November 8.

This looks like a second job for you, Amy.

No, not really--the incubator I have is pretty hands-off, even if I don't have an auto turner. If you mean incubating eggs for folks, my incubator only holds 10 chicken eggs (though I managed to get 11 in--if the eggs had all been the smaller ones, I could've gotten a full dozen in, I think).

And I meant to add that I changed the title of that incubating thread, which appears to have changed the url to http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1036123/the-hatch-that-byc-built-aka-frieda-vs-the-brinsea-warning-pic-heavy

Does incubating eggs make you feel like a mother hen?

Every time this conversation jumps back to the top of my list I can't help remembering a certain late 1970s Manchester band that I used to listen to. Their name was Spherical Objects

A memo was once to a mid grade civil servant, he thought it irrelevant so in the comments he wrote "round objects" and sent it on.

Later that week he received a reply asking the following 2 questions.

Who is Round, and to what does he object?

Civil service humour?

It was true as well

"Who is Round, and to what does he object?" [Bob Stafford]

A bit of useless movie trivia: In the film "Damsel in Distress," Gracie Allen happened to pass a display case that had the sign "Art objects." "Who is Art, and what does object to?" she asked, though I don't remember her exact words.

Not that it matters.

To me, the epitome of civil service comebacks is the time a man came to the local Social Security board and complained that he hadn't been receiving his checks.

"That's because you are dead," the clerk replied.

Sums it up nicely

I thought you'd like that

Oh yes
