Well, here's the thing, you tell your mother that I am the Commander of those tanks and we are planning on making another run under her house in about an hour.

I dunno about tanks under the house but there are people who think I am watching them through their cable boxes.

oh scribe, she would flip. Like 10 years ago the paper posted something about the army having a cave in one of the hillsides, and after that she got the idea that there were tunnels under her house and they were driving under there to the river.

Her soil is so hard it takes me 10 minutes to get enough dug to put in a tomatoe plant. I'd give the army medals too if they could dig that stuff up.

I was messing around at work and there was a click when I was talking to someone and she was worried the CIA was listening to her. I told her when the CIA listens to you, they don't make clicking sounds. :pbpt:

so its better to purchase 4 single buttons from you than a 4 pack? :wink:

I always think my cat is looking at me....and occasionally worry that a hand will come up out of the toilet when I sit down in the middle of the night with lights out. NOW, I have to worry about OTiS watching me pick my nose while trying to question answers on Jeopardy...or would the guy watching me be picking his nose? :eek: :sillygrin:

yah yah, I know what your thinking...I was thinking it too - I really wasn't picking my nose :wink: :eek: :sheepish: :confused: :sillygrin: :pbpt: which I'm sure he isn't either! :eek: :smile: :wink: :sheepish:

I miss my old single port cable box when I used to watch OTiS play on the computer while at work all night. I think it was channel 548.

Now with my dual tuner, all I ever get are calls from OTiS asking me to put my pants on. That doesn't sound Comcastic to me. :confused: :sheepish: :eyeroll: :goofy:

Some of you posted earlier about sending in 2 registration cards to be safe......

That's not a bad idea. I thought of it myself. I work for the postal service and I noticed two years ago that the design of that years card was odd and they were getting stuck/jammed in the machines and alot of them were being rejected and had to be hand sorted. Not to mention all the people who send them in without postage or with "fake postage" - duh! I personally e-mailed the Pioneer Press about this (didn't trust the chain of command there to do it). Last year's post cards didn't seem to have the same problem.

Send your registration to "Map Guy" at Toro.

He'll turn them in for ya.

Tatergirl

Yeah ... you should see what postal workers do to their own mail to make sure it get's there in one piece. It's not that their sorting machines are bad, it's just that you tend to notice the few hundred that get torn to shreds and you forget about the million that make it through just fine.

I haven't seen this year's registration card yet to make a diagnosis yet.

No need to turn in a registration card if you're not going to turn in a medallion anyway. :wink:

hmmm.....now why am I do I have my undies in a bunch...

Actually, don't they also have contests that you want to turn it in for, even if you don't plan on turning in the medallion?

From what I can tell the card is close to last years.

One year I was afraid my registration wasn't going to get postmarked on time and drove down town and slipped it under the door at the address given. Isn't it great how optimistic we are to go to such extremes?

Correctamundo. I forgot why I actually turned mine in.

that way I can team up with Mappy and say...well i got a button.

You give these Winter Carnival people too much credit.

You think they would actually look to see if it was postmarked on time?

Oh! Well silly me. :ooh: Not that it matters all these years later, but do you mean to tell me that if I walked into their office and handed my registration to someone they would tell me to take it to the post office??

mr. medallion hunt cluewriter guy

bud light presents real american heroes

(real american heroes)

today we salute you, mr. medallion hunt cluewriter guy

(mr. medallion hunt cluewriter guy)

thanks to you, we'd are forced to do the unthinkable in the middle of winter: dig in a park at 2am

(picking up diapers)

but you, sir, give us bad clues

(como como como)

armed with your pen, you create rhymes,pray for bad weather, and the occasional anagram. and why do you do it? because somewhere some guy is hoping for a chance to find a plastic puck in a park

(No chance in hell)

so crack open an ice cold bud light oh crafty wordsmith of the great north, and know that when america is looking for a man to get the job done, you do confuse us.

(you do own us)
