Thanks for the laugh viaggio!! We are still having storms here in the Sacramento Valley too. Getting a bit boring isn't it? Just keep dreaming about your trip to Italy!

Traviata Mar 16th, 2006 06:43 PM


" much ado about nothing...."

viaggio_sempre Mar 16th, 2006 06:45 PM

Can't stop dreaming LoveItaly.

What is it on friday nights?
The bad: wet, cold, grey day and couldn't get much done.
The good: I found that I smiled when I went to the BofA and purchased 300 Swiss Francs for $252 ($7.50 shipping included). Will have it tomorrow, hah!

Congrats on purchasing money :) First "I can put my hands on it" feeling of an upcoming vacation. I just bought my Euros at BofA too! I picked them up though, they charge me enough fees, they ain't gettin' that too :)

viaggio_sempre Mar 16th, 2006 09:17 PM

Too funny Tamara. I relish these times of excitement before a trip! Thanks,

Your pithy comment reminded me, nukesafe:

Frank McCloud: "I know what you want, Rocco."

Johnny Rocco: "Yeah? What do I want?"

McCloud: "You want more."

Rocco: "Yeah, that's right. I want more."

"Such much?"

Boy, what a disappointment! I just narrowed my eyes and scrunched my shoulders before popping into this thread expecting to see some poor newbie get his head taken off for a non-descriptive header, and instead I find a naughty poster just trying to stir up us old-timers. We all lumbered to our feet ready to administer a sound caning, and there you are, just a nasty prankster.

I'm going back to my map.

SuzieC Mar 17th, 2006 11:00 AM

if a little is good...more is better

wanderlust5 Mar 17th, 2006 11:02 AM

Less is more.

ira Mar 17th, 2006 11:03 AM

More or less.

laughingd2 Mar 17th, 2006 11:14 AM

More than last time but less than next.

Robespierre Mar 17th, 2006 11:16 AM

Much too much.

viaggio_sempre Mar 17th, 2006 11:17 AM

A little less would be more than enough.

Yeah, what he said........

Brazilnut Mar 17th, 2006 12:39 PM

Much more!

BabsB Mar 17th, 2006 02:20 PM

As my daddy used to say, "six of one, half a dozen of the other".

Ideally....more than I can spend!

nukesafe Mar 19th, 2006 09:28 AM

Robespierre,

MEGATONS! Yeah, now you are speaking my language. Nobody speaks in Megatons any more, thank God!

By the way, 28.3 is a REALLY big one, as those things go.

:-)

Robespierre Mar 19th, 2006 01:24 PM

That's the punchline from a duck 'n' cover-era joke.

The Civil Defense council held a public meeting to air issues that concerned citizens might have about nuclear warfare.

There were Air Force generals, and statesmen, and scientists on the panel, and each in turn spoke on the topic of his or her speciality.

A nuclear scientist was discussing how large "devices" needed to be to produce certain blast effects, and a member of the audience asked how big one would have to be to vaporize New York.

So the scientists got out their slide rules and calculated for twenty or thirty seconds and their spokesman said, "Somewhere between eight and nine megatons."

"So how about Los Angeles?"

"Well, that's much more spread out, plus you have the factor of the mountains..." and they put their heads together for another computation. "Something on the order of fourteen to sixteen megatons" was the reply.

"Thank you. How about, say, Moscow?"

Without hesitation, the Air Force general stood up and said...

brotherleelove2004 Mar 19th, 2006 04:46 PM

Without hesitation, the Air Force general stood up and said...

"Idaho or Russia?"

Robespierre Mar 19th, 2006 04:58 PM

Moscow, <u>Idaho</u>? A medium-sized IED would probably handle it.

viaggio_sempre Mar 19th, 2006 05:07 PM

And the winner is....

Brotherleelove, for his typical-of-a-real-regular-information-giving first response. You will receive a pie-in-the-face for your efforts.

Second runner-up will be divided between those that rode the nuclear bomb to the ground. You have your reward.

I have nothing to offer the rest of us.
