I'm beginning to think somebody's jacked into Ryan's account and is tormenting us.

We're inclined to agree...

LOL

Yhea, I heard about it. Ya'll got lucky. That, and there is a DESTROYER parked in the Hudson River off of the Point. We'll get that thing back.

-WINK

Take it from me - this is REALLY big!
I just heard from the green man and it's big - bigger than big!!

Mark (rubbing his hands in anticipation and counting down the days and hours!)

Ok. That's it. If you guys are gonna JOIN TOGETHER and tease us, that's just not fair.
At least give us a timeframe, or an actual countdown, or something!


You guys are so mean.

-Celtic Quinn

Should we all have a virtual countdown party for midnight tonight?
That would be fun...I'll bring the champagne and truffles!
......POP.......fizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......sorry couldn't wait!

Oh, I just remembered that I have another example of using stamping in theater:

There's a lot of painter-geek chatter that you can skip over, but the pictures really are cool! (If I do say so myself)

It would be no problem to "adopt" Music in the Park and Dragonfly in the Park as well if you would like since they are all at McDowell anyway.

Thank you so much! That is a much welcome offer! I will work on getting them linked as soon as I can!

It seems a little "strategically" close to the Nashville gathering date... ;)

Yeah, unfortunatly, I will be missing that by 1 lousy week! Oh well, I hope there will be leftovers floating around!!!

Ok... I need to know if it's just my computer/dsl being a pain in the uknowwhat or is AQ EXTREMELY S--L--O--W? if so, is it because there are alot of us on here now, or is it because of...... "IT". ????????????????????????????????????????????


hmmmm...

The Loud House box is back in place at Carrier Dome! Come and get it but be very very sneaky. :)


Lock Wench

Okay, I sure hope this BIG thing happens tonight! Tomorrow is December 1. I don't think I can read through all the anticipatory posts much longer. I'm going to reduce my AQ resources now, so someone else can use them (hint, hint ... pleading for an early surprise)

Good night, folks!

Go ahead and shoot me now BUT....

wouldn't these discussions be better suited for the "misc. oddities or food for thought" boards??? Seeing as how they really have nothing to do with AQ?

It won't be in Colorado Springs!!!!!!

Woo Hoo!!! Now that's something upon which we can agree!!!

Beat them zoomies, too!!!

That'll teach 'em for abandoning the Army Air Corps so long ago...close air support has never been the same since. ;)

I have noticed it lately but seems that tonight more than ever I am having a hard time with AQ. It is taking forever for pages to load. Am I the slow one?? I figured I was so I did some usual clean-up maintenance on the 'puter and still... like a m'lasses in winter. I browsed around a bit and most pages Yahoo etc seem to load up as usual.

I know you are working on something (???)...so I am trying to be patient...but I am going into WITHDRAWLS......AGHHHH!!!!!!

Texans considered a writing utensil and a small pointy metal object the same thing...both are pronounced "pin",

Both are pronounced the same here too but sometimes I will still say "Fountain Pen" which I got from Mer (granny). She always said that...this is from the old type that was a "fountain" but it also helped distinguish between the writing pin and the stick pen.

A stick pin and a straight pin is the same thing and a "fasten pin" was a safety pin.

It's funny the things we remember and that end up "meaning something" or being sentimental. Mer used to always wear these little safety pins on the pocket of this old flannel shirt she used to wear over her blouse or t-shirt (seems she was always cold in her last few years). If she didn't have her pins she would make comments about missing them and the habit of them etc. When she passed away her fasten pins and favorite old shirt was what she left here with.

And to Sprite and the Highlander, I just LOVE all your descriptive states of being in your posts.

Oh my gosh...me too!! I get so tickled. I am sitting here imagining Sprite sitting their with this quirky smirk on her face just typing away at Highlanders descriptions. Awhhh...if he only knew what she is doing as he... hogs the remote?? leaves the toilet lid up again??? makes comment about the unique charcoal flaver dinner had tonight???

ROFLMAO...

ice cream for breakfast....????
and everyone (away from my little creek i grew up on) tells me putting sugar on canned maters (stewed tomatoes) is weird...

almost as good as pickled green maters

BullDawg sounds like he's from my back yard. Soup beans and cornbread wuz what we survived on especially in winter. Summertime...big of fat slab of mater that hangs plum over the side of your "light bread" and miracle whip...makes yur jaws water up on ye. Ummmm doggies!!!

:~)

Where is it!! I wanted it tonight....

So much teasing and NO delivery!!!

Whatisitwhatisitwhatisit!?!?!?!?

GIMMIEGIMMIE!!!

What do we countdown to see?
Will it take a day or 2 weeks to be?

Tortuga likes to tease this bunch.
I say we'll applaud him, it's a hunch.

We will like or love whatever
cause Ryan is so sharp and clever.

Take your time but tease us not.
Work your magic, your site is hot.

Ok...this thread and the grits talk has been extremely fun for alot of people and may have even brought back some fond memories that just might cause some inspiration that might even spark some creative carving which could go into a cool letterbox series or postal ring that might burn some of our mental fuel instead of having our own versions of hissy fits and jealous outbursts while waiting on the flipping COUNTDOWN to END!!!

That's it. I think we need to do a funny talk ring or a regional dish ring. It will even have something to do with AQ then...

Casing = as in sausage (or hot dog) skin?

a fur piece = a ways down the road...or a long hike

poke = a bag...as in 'a pig in a poke'

Those are the only ones this Ohio girl knows....who grew up nearby Yella Crick

I had a friend in Montana who participated in the annual huge Day of the Dead celebration. She and her husband carved a huge wooden plate, inked it up, put a huge length of fabric on it, and used a steamroller as a baren to make the print! Now, THAT's Large Scale Stamping! The fabric had to be 6 or so yards of 45" wide fabric.
