If my family is anything to go by, the main purpose of Boxing Day is to suddenly realize that we have enough perishable food to last us 6 months (and more than will fit in the fridge,) and devise a rota for consuming as much as possible before it goes green and starts to smell sometime in the New Year.

Goose and cold brussel sprouts for breakfast, goose and gravy sandwiches for elevenses, goose and parsnips for lunch, ham and stuffing sandwiches for afternoon tea, ham and goose for dinner, bread sauce with ham and goose for a midnight snack.

I swear next year it's quail for Christmas!

Yeah, well I think dragons have different months, too. They operate on a lunar cycle rather than a solar one. I'm not sure whether they have a leap month to make the seasons add up right or not. I'm not an expert in dragon. But one of my best friends is a dragon, so I hear stuff. Sometimes we chat "off transcript" so prob123 may not know everything we say. Canadians are just British people across the border.

The Clerk is right, dragons do have different months..There is Eatalot, Eatsomemore, Glupitdown, Pigout, Feastabunch, Feastsomemore, Pizzatime, Turkeytime, Candytime, Chocolateseason, Heartburn, and Peptotime.

Any clues as to the slowness crisis? I mean, I'm in virtual withdrawal and February is just rotting away in prison on grand theft auto because I can't get to her to bail her out.

It seems ok this morning.

February did upload just now, is all I can say, but it did take an act of God, I am convinced. The speed does seem to come and go.

Maybe there are more people around because it's the holidays? Whatever. Or the Y2K thing finally kicked in

Auld Lang Syne : Words Adapted from a Traditional Song (1788)

by Robert Burns (1759-96) et al

FIRST VERSE:

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And auld lang syne?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,

For auld lang syne!

SECOND VERSE:

And surely ye'll be your pint stowp!

And surely I'll be mine!

And we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

THIRD VERSE:

We twa hae run about the braes,

And pou'd the gowans fine,

But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,

Sin' auld lang syne.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

FOURTH VERSE:

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn

Frae morning sun till dine,

But seas between us braid hae roar'd

Sin' auld lang syne.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

FIFTH VERSE:

And there's a hand my trusty fere,

And gie's a hand o' thine,

And we'll tak a right gud-willie waught,

For auld lang syne

Here we are between Yule and Imbolic..

Alfred Lord Tennyson
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

William Ellery Channing
I will seek elegance rather than luxury, refinement rather than fashion. I will seek to be worthy more than respectable, wealthy and not rich. I will study hard, think quietly, talk gently, and act frankly. I will listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with an open heart. I will bear all things cheerfully, do all things bravely await occasions and hurry never. In a word I will let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common.

P. J. O'Rourke
It is better to spend money like there's no tomorrow than to spend tonight like there's no money.

Ogden Nash
Every New Year is the direct descendant, isn't it, of a long line of proven criminals?

Albert Einstein
I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play.
