Don’t Worry - There are Other Threads

Yeah, but you are a real-life talking duck.

That's an achievement in itself. Spelling, pah that's for the bees!

I wash my hands of all responsibility for this post.....

 Danbo. Nope, no unibrow either. As intelligent as Peter is, and he is very intelligent, he had many nicknaes but was never called the Professor,  . And I am not even going to get into his saggy drawers,  lolololol. I do trust Peter's musical knowledge, implicitly though. When we were younger we would play a game called "Who is it?" One would put on a tune and say "Who is it?' The other had to make a guess before the first lyrics, or, in the case of Jazz, or fusion, or any instrumental, before the end of the intro. that game certainly increased my knowledge of music. And I give Peter all the credit for expanding my musical horizons. When we first started hanging out, I was as close to a music virgin you could get. Peter, introduced me to sooooo much amazing music.

 WOW your bridge experience sounds scary. I have never even heard of that bridge let alone traversedd it.

Truly spectacular!!!  As for what Peter wears, lolol. I haven't seen him in about 5 years, but he never wore a pocket protector sinse I have known him.

Ah, the Northern Lights... I've seen them during my years in Upper Michigan. Truly something to behold. I used to drive along a road until I found a nice snow covered open field (not a lot of open fields in Upper Michigan, nearly all woods) and watch the reflected lights play on the snow. Permanent Waves (It was a new release at the time... cassette) pouring from the speakers.... Oh the memories. 

Once, traveling north across the Macinac Bridge, I broke through a fog bank into the brilliance of the Aurora Borealis and was so awestruck I forgot I was driving. If you've ever driven across that bridge, you'll understand how dangerous losing your train of thought can be. Over twenty years have past and it's still a strong memory.

No pocket protector? Wow, blows that image away. How about a uni-brow? Ya know, one eyebrow that crosses the entire forehead. I bet his trousers sag in back, kinda like carrying home the load in a pair of depends.

You really should have got a cab back from the pub that night,Quacky!

I lived in Upper Michigan for 4 long, cold, frigid, years. NEVER AGAIN, I say!

30 below for weeks on end, no sh*t. I was totally unaware that nostril hairs could actually freeze. Spit would crack. And that's if you could open your mouth wide enough to emit a stream or curve your frozen leathered lips into the appropriate "oh" shape to expectorate the liquid.  

The worst thing about living in the Great White North though, was the idiots from Florida who got stationed at the Air Force base, buy four-wheeel-drive trucks and think that makes sh*t difference on ice. I helped more truck drivers get unstuck then anyone else.

I drove a sh*tty little 4 speed Chevy Chevette in the early 80's and I never got stuck. That lil' car had balls.

I'm from a southern climate, I get really cold in NYC when it goes below 50F I used to think it was cold in the UK (and it is) but that was nothing compared to the xmas' I've spent in NYC. BBbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Britain! Ha! You weaklings  get the Gulf stream off your shores to keep it mild (and damp, eh Jim G?).

New Yawk? Ha! All those buildings & smog trap the heat!

Try minus 30-35 C. (also around minus 30 F., for you backward, non-metric Americanos) for days, even weeks on end!

COLD!

Time to put another log in the ol' woodstove....
