Hey, is "oxymoron" -- oops, that's three syllables -- defined in there? As "intelligent ManU supporter?" Gosh, two more three syllable words.... If any of you have seen the Saturday Night Live skit starring Tonto (the American Indian sidekick of the Lone Ranger), you'll know he speaks in one-word sentences. "Bread. Good. Fire. Bad." Are ManU fans (well, except Raj ;-)) kinda like that? :-) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 11:20:34 -0500 From: "Amy Rupp" Subject: RE: seven-seas OT Rush in Rio > I didn't but having thought about it, they aren't as good as they were > > Ah but that's all the scousers have to live on, the past > > Do you include the Bunnymen in that statement?

Is all the scourers have to live on "the past" because everything nicked is de facto used? ;-) :-P ChrisA, I thought of you when reading about Liverpool.... people from all over Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England flocked there in the hopes of immigrating to the US, Canada and Australia. Not all of them made it, because of lack of money to pay fare, or lack of jobs at their destinations, but they were willing to pull up stakes in the hopes of bettering themselves and didn't stick around in a rut just because their family had lived somewhere for some depressing number of generations. Perhaps that's some of the spirit you feel there. While being enterprising and innovative doesn't justify "borrowing" things, I'm sure that it would not stop some! ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 11:20:59 -0500 From: "Amy Rupp" Subject: RE: seven-seas OT Rush in Rio > Peter, your wit is still hilarious! :-) And much missed :-) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 11:52:36 -0500 From: "Amy Rupp" Subject: RE: seven-seas OT Monosyllabic footie players > MORE than two?

A few months ago I saw a Mexican trucker stop, raise the hood of his rig and climb up on the fender to mess around in there with some small bundle. He climbs down and smiles at us and says, "I put my burrito in the manifold!". I know that sounds suggestive but in this case, I think he was referring to an actual burrito. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 20:48:46 +0100 From: "Matt H" Subject: Re: Re: seven-seas OT: =?iso-8859-1?B?oEhvdA==?= Hot Hot >http://www.aad.gov.au/Asset/webcams/casey/default.asp >and it doesn't even seem possible that this picture was >taken today, though I know it was! See that two-cab tracked vehicle in front of the building? That's a Scandinavian something-or-other (I think it's called the BV206) and I used to drive one in the Falklands, which don't look much different to that pic, i.e. fucking snow everywhere and minus dozens of degrees celsius....
