POLLING, PRESBYTERIANS, ETC
Last week’s column may tell of events to come, if we keep seeing this type of dire polling. Still, Kevin Rudd remains in the happy position of being able to promise everything to everyone (reduced carbon emissions! AND cheaper petrol!) - a situation that’ll change once we move into actual election mode.
In Presbyterian developments, last Sunday morning Mr Bingley actually lured me to his New Jersey church; possibly the first time I’ve been inside such a place for 30 years or so without anyone getting married or buried. Highlight: Bingley’s excellent singing (three hymns performed in duet). Lowlight: communion wine replaced by some kind of cranberry-flavoured substance. It burns!
Upcoming: midwestern antics. Stay tuned.
UPDATE. One reason not to be too sad at the prospect of a Howard defeat is that lately he’s become creepy greenish:
“Apart from the normal trade and economic issues, we’ll be talking a lot about climate change,” Mr Howard said.
“APEC will be the first meeting which brings together both China and the United States, and they are the principal polluters, they’re the two countries that have the largest volume of greenhouse gas emissions.”
Good luck changing that, pal.
1.618,
I was talking to a girl at work and she said (and this is an undoctored quote) : “If I wasn’t already married, you’d be a catch…”If it might help, I’ll ask her to write a letter of recommendation.
yours,
Col. MPosted by Col. Milquetoast on 2007 08 12 at 02:02 AM • permalinkHi 1.618,
Do you enjoy Sport?
By nature, I tend to be competitive. When I compete against a friend then yes. Otherwise ...sigh… I hate to say this but generally I’m more the “artistic type”
I grew up in a neighborhood where I was 4 or more years younger than any of the other kids. I didn’t have any peers to play with and I became a bookworm by default.
I’ve been snowboarding with friends a few times and it was fun. The first time I was a bit drunk and I spent the day alternating between falling down and rolling down the hill. The next time I was not drunk and I spent the day falling down and rolling down the hill. I’m not very coordinated.
So, I assume you are the sporty type (#2 and #5) What things do you do?

I don’t mind that. I admit it was funny. The people laughing at my sober snowboarding falls was what was a little hurtful.
Posted by Col. Milquetoast on 2007 08 15 at 04:08 AM • permalinkCol. I was first taking skiing by a dear friend. We went to a place which was a new skifield, so undeveloped it only had a rope tow. He was showing off his skiing prowess, to me, a beginner. He turned around to see if I was taking notice and fell flat on his face. I laughed so much it hurt. He laughed so much at his embarrassment.
I still loved him!Oh, I’ve been meaning to ask before this thread closes, are you into bondage? Might be an asset with you know who….
#6 laughs and points at Milquetoast’s druken snowboarding falls.
I think the only basic difference between my drunk and sober snowboarding was the drunk snowboarding had more arm flailing.
I’ll get better.

Basically the same thing happened to the guy who was showing me. Must be an instructor’s jinx.

It isn’t without some appeal. Maybe. It depends. Maybe not if her idea is to tie me up, tease me, leave to go shoe shopping, come back 5 hours later, tease some more, show me her new shoes while explaining that they are totally different than the very, very similar shoes in her closet.

In retrospect, talking about how uncoordinated I am isn’t likely to impress.This sounds more impressive : I used to run with a guy who did marathons and triathlons. (just don’t ask any uncomfortable questions who was lapping who)
Another of my
manyseveral fine qualities that I hope will impress 1.618 : I am an acceptable draftsman. cartoons (last year’s christmas card) or nudes (this could be you!)
You can be the O’Keefe to my Stieglitz.
You can be the Françoise Gilot to my Pablo (except I try not to be a jack ass)
You can be the ballet rat to my Degas.
You can be the model that I stare at as I sharpen my pencil (read that literally, not as something dirty) You can be my muse - it doesn’t pay well but the work is easy and it’ll look great on your résumé.Posted by Col. Milquetoast on 2007 08 17 at 01:44 AM • permalink
