Hi Mike!!!

OK. Just testing, John. There are just so many jagular impersonators out there these days. :)

In answer to your question, moskuses are wannabe Norwegian musicians and occasional moderators. You can usually get one by leaving traps around your house baited with smoked herring and Bobby Vinton records.


(Be careful NOT to bait them with Java Boys, or you will catch an Argonaut instead.)
 
Finally...

The package arrived!!!

I'm talking about Sonar 4 PE!!! :D :cool:

WAAAY better than Sonar 3, I can tell... I mean... it's like comparing Limo and SUV... you know... :cool:

Now when will I get the shirt "Moderated by moskus" ?

Thanks guys!!!

I haven't been around much lately.. been pretty busy in my new job... Systems Administrator.. it's keeping my off the streets and it's sending me up to Brisbane next weekend.

I'm going to be putting up some tues VERY soon.. plus I'm working on a surprise that's going to take a while... if you are lucky I might show you a little of it ;-)

Yeah happy birthday Down there :)
I have a question. When you say "up" to brisbane, in the southern hemisphere is up still considered North like it is associated here in the USA?

Just kind of seems wierd to consider UP North with the warmer climate as well.
When you say, birds fly north for the winter, does it seem totally correct and taken for granted?
Do your drains really turn clockwise, including the design of toilets?
Are we down under to you or how do you refer to us as up/over/north whatever?

Up to Brisbane... well, if you look at a globe Brisbane is North of Sydney.. hence 'up'.. mind you, 'up' could also be the fact that I'm flying there.. hence 'up' off the ground.

Birds fly north/south? I don't know.. the birds here don't seem to fly a particular way.. just all over the place. I know that the Pelicans come in from Sea if it is going to rain.. does that count?

Drains don't turn clockwise.. well they don't actually turn.. if they turned you would worry about where the other end was going and would have more serious problems :) But if you are referring to the way that water runs down a drain.. yes it does. Design of toilets..

I believe they look the same.. the drains down turn, but the water goes the 'other way' down as in circles..

Down Under.. made famous by the song!! Again, referring to a globe and given the fact that we are in the southern atmosphere and you are in the north.. down under is applicable.. it's better than 'over the top and down further!' As for what we call the 'Americans' can I say it? (just kidding)

BTW, thanks for the B'Day wishes.. even though my day was half over before you started to celebrate it ;-)
