Back in the Saddle

I have a copy of the yearbook which houses them, yes.  The only way to see them is to come to my house, or track down one of my former students.  So I suppose the question is, how badly do you want to see them?

Exotic candy for a happy belly! I'll buy in bulk. I know a lot of sweet people in bitter places...

Don't forget Pineapple Lumps! Damn, Swoop. Forget the teaching job, you could make a fortune exporting candy.

As a matter of fact, there are pictures of me wearing a Catholic School Girl's uniform out there.  Part of a stage show for a school I used to teach at in Toronto.  All in good fun.

Do you have these pictures?  May I see them?  ^__^

Jaffas are chocolate balls coated in hard candy much like Smarties or M&Ms but the candy is bright orange and tastes like oranges.  They are so yummy.

Swoop...  will you send me Jaffas?  I miss Jaffas...

You'll have to explain to me what Jaffas are.

Hmm...  Swoop dressed up as a lady, eh?  Take lots of photos!

Dress up a woman, or dress up AS a woman? 

LOL, I meant "as". Proof positive that a single typo can make a world of difference to the meaning.

I think it is a shame that this venerable tradition didn't carry over to air travel. ;)

And chocolate fish...  even Fanta is hard to come by.  Hokey Pokey, rasperry ice...  and unless you know someone who makes it, you can't get pavlova.  But you know what I really miss?  Passion fruit sauce...  yum!

Ummm, Jaffas, I was to busy bitching about the lack of MintSlice, TimTams and Dara Lee to even notice they don't exist here.

I just want to know if you are planning to do the traditional dress up a woman and get your ear pierced thing when you cross over the equator?

Dress up a woman, or dress up AS a woman?  Not that I have a big problem with either.  And since I'll be flying, not sailing, I'm not sure that the same traditions apply.

Aww man...  I missed out both times I crossed the equator.  I am so sad now.

And pirates would get new piercings everytime they crossed the equator!

(which is almost as fun as beating pollywogs.)

It's part of an centuries-old naval tradition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-crossing_ceremony

Are you supposed to do that when you cross over the equator?  I never knew...

I spent the $22 on groceries...  I am of no use to you now.

You'll have to do a little better than that.  I don't think $22 will get me that much closer to New Zealand.

I have $22 in my TNBC lunch box.  That's my starting bid.  ^_^

It seems that negotiation is quickly becoming a lost art.  $4,200 is the [b]asking[/b] price.  I'm willing to go lower if need be.  I only have a month and a bit to sell the darn thing... I mean [b][i]fine piece of automotive craftsmanship[/i][/b].  No, really.  It's a great car. :)

Gah, if I had $4200 I would be in school by now.  Oh well, too bad.  I guess I don't really need a car.

And stop offering!

I'm asking 4,200 or best offer for the car.  I would consider giving it away (especially to someone like you), but I need the money to finance the move.

As to me going away, my offer still stands ;)

Will you give me the car for free acuz you love me so?  I thought not...  what are you asking for it?

I am sad that you are leaving...  Not fair, not fair at all.  I hope you're happy there, though...
