It helps clarify my comments, especially when I mistakenly post under Princess' account.

sorry if i'm boring you once more, but it seemed like a good way to finish off the year.... so i'm sitting here listening to "wilderness of mirrors" by fish, wracking my brains to recount the events of the last two weeks.. it started by knocking off early to catch a flight to glasgow, on the 17th.
i normally catch a boat and drive down, but i managed to get a flight that was cheaper, so i went for the comfort instead.
mistake number one was forgetting to print off a map for the carhire place, though.
We made mincemeat of the target, firing between 20 - 45yds, braced, two-handed, one-handed, and rapid fire. We shot off about 200 rounds between us, and left feeling like real men - LOL.
Here we see the manifestation of Little Toe's alternate persona: "The Ventilator" (see pics)
You can see the ear to ear grin, but you'll have to fill in the whoops and hoots with your own imagination. By prior agreement, we conversed only in our best John Wayne accents during the shoot.
Testosterone tests taken after shooting would've been off the charts!
We thoroughly enjoyed your visit, Ross. 'Til next time,
Steve
i thought i'd pose a question especially (but not exclusively) for the girls regarding sexual harassment.
what would you deem as unfitting behaviour?.
is it appropriate for a guy to ask if you are wearing any panties?
Ross,
Keeping it "general"...
I like to approach an individual from the conservative side, conveying a sense of dignity toward them, even if they may not be projecting one themselves. My manner might change as I become more familiar with that individual, but I still maintain a conservative boundary toward the opposite sex, and any activity which might be interpreted as invasive, possibly stripping them of their dignity.
Most of the people I've met from this board, without articulating it, seem to follow a similar standard.

is there already a picture thread for the seattle apostafest?
Hey guys, this is Rachel too lazy to log Steve out...I'm working on it on my other 'puter. Bear with me, he took about a hundred (really) pictures that I have to work through.
Wednesday probably.
an mgb, an mg midget, 3 sunbeam alpines and an austin healey frog-eye.. 'course, some years back, the wicked americans put out a rumour that soft-tops were to be outlawed in the usa.
which meant that the uk sports car industry would take a massive body-blow to it's exports.
so, in true kamikaze style, the brits sports cars companies started producing absolute garbage with fixed tops so's they could continue with their exports... cars like the jaguar xjs.
Englishman,
I had an MGB GT hardtop, light blue with black interior. What a neat little car! It had incredible road feel, and a rich, throaty sound. I had quite a few dates with Princess in that car...
Tragically, the car met it's ignominious end at a kingdom hall. The parking lot of a kingdom hall, to be precise.
I was pulling in to the parking lot, just behind my future father in law, Big Red. Upon entering the lot, Big Red looked around, and decided that there was no space in the lot suitable for his Ford F-350 one-ton pickup. With no clue that I was anywhere near, he stopped, and began to back up, right into (and nearly over) my MGB. I barely managed to pull forward and sharply to the right in time to escape being crushed, but the entire driver's side was caved in, deeply gouged by the fender of the murderous Ford. I parked, climbed out the passenger door, and surveyed the damage. Front quarter, driver's door, rear quarter, all crushed.
I met Big Red in the foyer of the hall. He greeted me with a friendly smile and a "Howdy Steve", unaware that he'd just totaled my car. He never felt a thing.
Another one bit the dust.

christmas lights remind me, that we're closing in on the second anniversary of our disassociation.. two years ago, around this time, "gifts in men" from our old congregation paid us a visit regarding our christmas display.
we invited them in, ushering them slowly past our decorated tree, and seated them at our dining room table.
they said that it had come to their attention that we appeared to be celbrating christmas..."indeed we are," i saiid, "as we have for the last four years.
but this year it is right next to the sliding glass door with the blinds wide open.. it is a freeing feeling..
Way to go, Sassy! Looking forward to those pics of your Dad's display...
Driving around to see the best light displays has become an annual tradition for us. Last year, we did it while slurpin' eggnog milkshakes... I think we'll keep that up, too.
Steve
note: i appreciate everyone's comments, and i'll start replying to them at the end...but keep them coming!
episode iii: the badger starts digging out
?a good sailor never knows where he?s going until he gets there, and even then he?s not sure.?
1, 2 , 3...
Keep 'em coming, Badger!
I don't suppose you have time for a hand of "Dr. Pepper" wild, before the next episode?
Cheers,
Steve

Hey Doodle,
Well, here it is, the Egner family Christmas tree for 2004. These artificial numbers illuminate beautifully, but the natural evergreen scent is missing... so I'm going to take a tip from LDH and seek out a naturally fragrant Noble Fir wreath. Zoe tried to compensate for it's shortcoming this evening, liberally spraying an aeresol can of "The Perfect Christmas Tree" about the room. Sheesh, that's nasty stuff. We had to open windows and doors for air...

LDH,
I put some up yesterday, and the wreath on the door. We just got a real noble fir wreath for indoors to make the house smell great
I love that evergreen scent... I've been missing it this year, because of our artificial tree, but the indoor wreath idea sounds like the cure! Looking forward to your photos...
Travis,
eh make Steve come over and help w/the mischief..eheh
That sounds like a party plan. We might even actually get around to putting up some lights! Kind of a spirited barn-raising event...
Mulan,
Steve: Guess I had better be more careful what I am wearing as I walk around the house, eh?
Yup.
jimbob,
Wonderful display! When you drive home from work after dark, 'round that last corner, and see your home aglow, do you get a nice lift from that, too? BTW, I've got an electrician friend who would be able to help you with your panel, if needed.
Merry Christmas!
Steve
