Leica & Stylus Around the World: Round #9

[walbergb]

OK, so this sounds fun, anyone want to post one to Australia?

Depends?:confused:

I have such fun with misplaced pronouns

 

[k_jupiter]

We had a shooter from New Zealand in one of the recent rounds, but they bowed out of this one. We'd love to have you in the next one. Stay tuned!

They couldn't take the sheep jokes.

Is everyone signing the book included with the Leica?

Hmmm, didn't see a book with it. So, guess not.

You were supposed to write a 173 page book about The Thirty Years’ War: The Habsburg-Bourbon Conflict, 1635-1648, sign it and include it in the box when you sent it on

You did get the memo?

So the Thirty Years' War lasted for fourteen years?

 

[zsas]

I belive Shawn and Síle stipulated that we were only to write about the remainder of the Thirty Years’ War which concluded with the Habsburg- Bourbon conflict. If I have misread the guidelines please correct.

Someone should have stayed awake in math class

YOUR math sucks. We all know the 30 years war lasted 278 years.

That would make me 576 years old! Man, I'm old

Suddenly I miss the sheep.

Suddenly I miss the sheep.

We got a volunteer from Australia. Maybe that should be the price of admission into our group... ship the flatulent1 a sheep.

 

[Síle]

Guess what arrived in the mail today? (And no it wasn't a flatulent sheep!)

 

[Shawn Rahman]

:w00t:

Let the flurry of "it's about f*ckin time" posts begin. I am ready for the flogging!

 

[zsas]

You know that part in Apollo 13 where right after take off one of the 5 engines blows and they realize that they will be just fine, so Jim Lovell says, "Looks like we've had our glitch for this mission....". Let's hope this was this mission's glitch and all's square now. Glad it's at it's first stop. Hey good things come to those that wait (thanks Grandma for another zinger)!

 

[Shawn Rahman]

Let's hope this was this mission's glitch and all's square now.

Considering what we've put up with in recent rounds, this was HARDLY a glitch. At least we knew where the camera was all this time! That may not always be the case in the coming months. Let's hope I'm wrong.

 

[zsas]

For sure! Though I'm intrigued by the crushed box incident...but maybe some things are best left untold!

 

[k_jupiter]

What????

At least YOU knew where the camera was.

Okay...

Oh, you haven't received my 'friend' Amanda yet?

 

[Síle]

Oh, you haven't received my 'friend' Amanda yet?

First of all.. Shawn there shall be no flogging.. "sheet" happens and this won't be the first camera that went missing and it won't be the last!

I took the opportunity to go out today as the sun was shining (a first outing this year in Wicklow - for the sun that is, not me) and took my two shots.. It'll be Friday before I get to the Post office with it.. but it shall hopefully be winging it's way to France by Friday afternoon..

Then I get to sit back with a smug look on my face and watch the rest of the games... with my new friend Amanda... :wub:

 

[k_jupiter]

with my new friend Amanda... :wub:

Baaaaaaaahhhhhhh......

A rather sheepish smile there... I'm sure ewe wool be very happy. And here I thought you said you needed a man to keep you happy.

Like Fred, you'll always know what you're getting for birthdays or Christmas- a sweater, cap, mittens or socks.

 

[Síle]

Baaaaaaaahhhhhhh......

Humbug??

And here I thought you said you needed a man to keep you happy.

A girl has to keep all her options open you know
