The Eternal dilemma...convincing a woman that you actually have better taste.
Good luck with that one!

Yeah. Bummer. How about we take up a collection here?

SuperSneak · July 30, 2002, 20:58

I'll sell my nearly un-used AP Stylebook and send you the proceeds.

War4ever · July 30, 2002, 21:19

thanks guys...i can sell my works one day not the next computer.....if we give them to china, we should make a mint in no time

Alexander's Horse · July 30, 2002, 21:35

I just want to know if there is anyone in North America who can spell dilemna.

SuperSneak · July 30, 2002, 21:36

duh-lem-uh

Alexander's Horse · July 30, 2002, 21:40

My Oxford says its dilemma.

finbar · July 30, 2002, 21:54

It's from the Greek. As you'd know, Horse. Lemma = assumption.

Alexander's Horse · July 30, 2002, 22:02

We really need to get Sneak out to Australia - if he coughed for airfares, he'd have free accommodation and the like whilst here. Probably only cost him about $2000 usd to bring the family given exchange rates and the like.

finbar · July 30, 2002, 22:08

Mightn't even cost that much. Being on the West Coast, he's halfway here. There are very cheap flights available from LA to here.

War4ever · July 30, 2002, 22:12

horse your a picky one today..... sleep in the barn last night...no action from Mrs. Horse.....kids wet the bed???

SuperSneak · July 30, 2002, 22:21

Well, I actually speak of you all quite often with Mrs. Sneak. We have discussed going to Australia on our next vacation, and I know I can get good airfare. She'd prefer Italy, I know, but I think Oz would be exotic enough to placate her.
Question is, what are local travel times from Sydney to Canberra to Carrum, etc? I don't know that a week would be enough...I think we'd need at least two. Vacation allotments are criminal in general here, and downright sadistic at my current employer....
Give me an idea of the sights, and maybe I can start lobbying now.
Hmmmm...family time with Horse, culture with Fin and two fisted drinking with Hydey....three of our mainstays.

If you want to do some serious drinking you'll have to do it with me. From what I've seen of Hydey, his prodigious drinking was all in his imagination.

1. Water.
2. One can of VB.
3. Cordial.
4. One glass of red wine.

Horse's tongue was hanging out for daquiri the other night. Mrs finbar refused. I have no idea why. Perhaps it was the daquiri she made herself the week before. Blotto after one sniff.

Alexander's Horse · July 31, 2002, 00:44

No, Mrs finbar offered me the daquiri and got this wicked "oh please say yes" look on her face but I had to drive. I regret saying no now.

I offered Hydey some Black Label when he lobbed down here in Canberran but he declined (twice). I was completely flummoxed.

I've just reviewed the tape from the security camera. In fact, the scene played as follows:

MRS fINBAR: "Could I interest you in a daquiri, ******?" (*No, she didn't call him that. She never uses language like that. She called him by his real name)

HORSE looks around at the ASSEMBLED GUESTS:

HORSE: (wistfully, hopefully, verging on desperately) "Would a daquiri affect my driving?"

ASSEMBLED GUESTS & MRS fINBAR: (chorus) "Yes!"

HORSE looks at the floor, scuffs his shoe backwards and forwards disconsolately:

HORSE: (barely a murmur) "I'd better not then"

And sulks.

Alexander's Horse · July 31, 2002, 02:13

That was a painful moment for me

finbar · July 31, 2002, 02:16

Well, you were advised that the Hydey Suite was available. The sheets and pillowslips had been changed. Mrs finbar had even folded a fresh towel and facewasher on the end of the bed.

you forgot the green tea finny

2. two cans of VB
3. It was Mrs Hydey on the cordial.
4. you and I split the bottle of red and then Mrs Finbar, your good self and I split the other wine (crappy sweet stuff) .

If I knew you were counting on a big performance, I would have stayed another night and drunk a slab of VB, a cask of Red and then cleared out your top shelf.

Given that I had 1000 km drive the next day I tried to keep myself down to your meager standards.

I hate scotch, tastes like Shyte.

Yeah sorry about those stains on the sheets Finny, I hope they washed out ok. You should be glad they were much worse on the bed at Horses.

Horse only had half an hour - most of it through tunnels - and declined a daquiri.

We sent the sheets to the Police Forensics Lab for testing to determine just exactly what makes you tick.

You try and negotiate more than 10 kilometres of winding underground tunnels and freeway signs at 2am with half a daquiri mix under your belt.

Mrs finbar almost made it from the kitchen to the dining table the other week. When I say almost, I mean she finished the journey. On hands and knees.

I dunno - I see posts like this from you-know-who and I'm somehow transported back to a school playground covered in gobs of spit and full of loud, sweating, swearing, throbbing boys in about year 8.

I guess being a leading member of a country cricket club lets you extend your childhood almost indefinitely. I just wish he wouldn't extend their banal and crude idea of wit to our forums.

Speciel comments from Horse the master of banal and crude wit.
