Grandma Susie's House of FUNNERS 'N FLOOZIES (Volume III)

I thought about putting a couple of quotes from the book in my signature.

One sister: "There is no reason for us to accept the Americanization of words!"

Another sister: "Oh, shut up."

americanisation!

Tee hee!

*capers*

My favourite quotes are from the Sweeney (which John Thaw was in, before he was Morse).

ROAR

I think Thaw lived a lot like Morse . . . which is why he's no longer with us.

Probably.

Here's the best quote from the Sweeney. John Thaw played Regan.

[Carter pulls out a packet of cigarettes and puts one in his mouth]
Det. Sgt. George Carter: Sorry, Guv, I've only got one left.
[Regan takes the cigarette out of Carter's mouth and puts it in his own]
Det. Insp. Jack Regan: I only *want* one.
[Regan fumbles for his lighter]
Det. Insp. Jack Regan: You got a light?
Det. Sgt. George Carter: Nope.
Det. Insp. Jack Regan: Bastard.

I don't think they ever showed Sweeney here; if they did I don't remember it.

Is it a front-wheel drive car?

Ummm Yes? I know it is an automatic, that is the extent of what I know. I am going to take the bf's jeep to work this morning, then get some transmission fluid and put in a little bit, then see what happens Today has to be better than tomorrow. I mean really, it has to. OR ELSE

And good morning House of Cats and Muppets.

The bad news: If it is front-wheel drive and the problem is the transmission, it's very bad news.

The good news: Don't assume your dad is right, unless he happens to be an experienced mechanic.

I just bought an autographed copy of The Night Circus as part of my Christmas gift to my "little sister".

She is actually a member here, but I don't think she's logged on in a year so I'm safe mentioning it.

I just finished reading it this morning. What a wonderful piece of storytelling. Sounds like she's getting a lot of positive reviews, too, so it's understandable that she isn't logging on anymore. She's probably crazy busy. An autographed copy would be very cool, but I don't think I can get that on my Kindle.

I ended up getting an autographed copy of The Night Circus and The Passage by Justin Cronin.

You should watch it. I'm sure they'll put it on if you ask nicely.

I think the problem's probably arisen because you've been driving on the wrong side of the road. It's a common issue in Americaland.

*capers*

PS. Hope it's not too expensive!

I'll request it right away!

In return, we'll send copies of Miami Vice to the UK. Pastels are coming back.

Nice theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0MEtBQb2yM

ROAR

Good day, funners!!

Sydney, I hope the transmission isn't blown. I used to have a 1968 Mustang and when the transmission went, it cost a pretty penny to fix.

Whoa whoa lets not throw words like blown or wrong side around. We are all hoping all my little Winston needs is some fresh transmission fluid.

*prayers for transmission fluid*

morning came early to the house of fairy this morning.

Oh Lordie, we got shouting going on here already.

Fairy dust!

Hey, wait a minute . . . this is just powdered sugar!

dammit... that bastard on the corner of Ash and Willow cheated me!

Damn fae-shorting bastards...

Hi.

Well, this is the middle of November . . . and I have the air conditioning on.

'evening, funners.

I'm out of both chocolate and tuna.

I have tuna and brownies.

And bacon!

And chocolate.

I have...a broken car. I'm taking it to the mechanics. Poo poo. Now let's hope it isn't a million dollars.

If they give you an estimate with that price tag on it, I highly suggest going to a different mechanic.

Don't thank me. I'm just feeling helpful today.
