You're going to get rain in the rain forest, count on it. You'll probably get warm rain, though.

*thaws out the first WIN if Spring!*

*Looking around* Everyone's gone into hiding! The WIN is now MINE!! Bwahahahaha!!

*chases Kavi to steal WIN back*

Nope!! the win is still mine!!!

*sashays in and out ... with the WIN*

WINded response

Mine! Mine! Always mine! I'm the WINner!

A man said to the universe:
"Sir, I exist!"

"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."

*snort!*

The mountain and the squirrel
Had a quarrel,
And the former called the latter “Little prig.”
Bun replied, “You are doubtless very big;
But all sorts of things and weather
Must be taken in together
To make up a year
And a sphere.

And I think it no disgrace
To occupy my place.
If I’m not so large as you,
You are not so small as I,
And not half so spry:

I’ll not deny you make
A very pretty squirrel track
Talents differ; all is well and wisely put;
If I cannot carry forests on my back,
Neither can you crack a nut.”

- Ralph Waldo Emers

*wonders what RWE was imbibing when he wrote this*

Said the mouse to the elephant,
"My, aren't you big!"

Said the elephant to the mouse,
"My, aren't you small."

Said the mouse to the elephant,
"Yes, I know.
I've not been well at all."

- Flanders and Swann

Reminds me of a poem I wrote once, for my LOTR parody! lol!

Grey as a whale,
With a thin pink tail,
Though I am nimble,
I make the earth tremble,
As I scamper through the grass;
Trees crack as I pass.
With whiskers round my mouth
I nibble in the South,
Though I am gentle as a waif,
No cheese is ever safe
Beyond walls of steel;
I shall find my meal.
Never run from a cat,
I am too big for that,
I don't even try.
Enormouse am I,
Biggest of all,
Huge, cute, and tall.
If ever you'd met me
You will claim something you ate
Has sickened your mind and
Made you hallucinate
But Old Enormouse am I,
And I never lie.

Eek!!

Yep, back in the days of the computer mainframes, a mouse just wasn't big enough.

yeah... what did they use... wombats?

Wombats were too hard to find. Hamsters were easier.

How long does this run - just 'til it gets old, or is there a set date?

This is a everlasting tug-of-war and it ends here and now with me, holding the WIN

... at least until someone takes it away from me again!

I guess you'll be asleep right now, so you won't notice me sneaking in and taking the WIN with me.

My, what a pretty WIN this is!
Even more so since I gave it a mullet and a bomber jacket.

Awww! Cute!

I suspect that this thread will still be a tussle when we're all too old and feeble to remember how to type an HTML tag. And them whippersnappers will be trying to muscle in, but will we let them? Hah!! Um, what was the question again?

Traveller, the WIN is very cute in that jacket. I hope you don't mind if I take it for a motorcycle ride.

I like that image a lot.
Err, I guess I'm already there, because typing an HTML tag??



And actually, I dó mind you taking the win for a ride. So get off that bike and give it back to me!

*makes an elaborate contraption using a garter-belt, a half-melted lozenge, and a strip of Velcro --
-- to capture the WIN and make a daring escape*

Um, Lothi, your contraption fell apart. You should have used more duct tape.

Mac, pass the duct tape, please...

All right, who gave him three rolls of the stuff? Now he's juggling it!!

Three rolls?! Ye gods! He'll have the whole world wrapped up before we can blink.

*sings* He's got the whole world in his hands . . .
