| Don't ask me why but when I read posts I put voices and an image with each individual as I read. Some of it has to do with what I have read previously of their posts. If their posts in general seem to be a bit cranky for example. I just realized yesterday that I was doing this (actually assigning voices) I was reading a post by Aon when it dawned on me and I couldn't say why but when I read her posts I apply this laid back voice kind of low and soothing like a late night smooth jazz DJ. I realized I was doing this and I asked myself why, I talked to her in Chat and she was hopping around as a frog before she transformed. So I couldn't put my finger on why I asigned her a voice. As a sales rep who works primarily on the phone I find it interesting the images that I assign to my customers (quit acurately in many cases-as I will discover if we eventually meet at a trade show) and I can never tell you why I imagine them a certain way. I just used Aon as an example as the revelation happened when I was reading her post.(i'm not some sort of weirdo stalker) Anyway I was just curious to see if the rest of you have similar experiences to relate. Peace Mikel |

| Interesting observation. I tend to do the same sort of thing, assigning voices and pictures to people. It is fun to do here, picturing someone from their posts before I call up their profile to look at their photo. I have no way to check my voice selection, but it is fun anyway. I guess that hearing the voices is ok as long as they aren't saying: pick up the gun....shoot the sales rep..... |

Stop it Maisky....you're scaring me  Mikel |

| Interesting concept. I can't say I do this. Then again, I like to communicate with the mind of another. Partly why I love this medium for discussion. I often find the physical presence of a person, the visual of a picture or the sound of a voice a distraction to getting to the heart of a person. I often intentionally refrain from looking up a picture. For people's physical form or voice is usually incongruent with my image of their mind. I know, just as wierd as hearing voices...... I'd ask what kind of voice you assign to me, but I'm afraid to know!  |

| I hear voices, but it has nothing to do with the posts here . Seriously, though, for some members I do. Paul's voice is kind of authoritative, like a father's or a corporate suit's. Dave's is a normal guy's voice, except when he gets a bee in his bonnet about something; then he kinda sounds like Yosemite Sam. Mirri's voice is a very soft, feminine one. Maggie sounds like a supervisor at my last place of employment. |

I would say an image of the mind is a good discription of what I am hearing and it probably has to do somewhat with the character of what is said in the posts although the Avatar is probably an important factor. Your voice Elspeth is very proper and reserved yet somehow down to earth at the same time. Might be a combination of reading your short story on Christmas and the Avatar  Jason's voice of Barddas, whom I had the pleasure to meet in person was just like I read his voice. (twilight zone music plays in background) |

| I don't picture voices with a person's postings. I'm alot like Elspeth as I picture the heart of the person I'm talking to. The outside of a person is not really who that person is. I guess that's why when I talk to someone I always look them dead in the eyes...I think I can see into their heart and their eyes reflect who they are. This medium presents a rare opportunity to get to know who people really are before you speak or meet. There are many of us who talk by phone so we have actually put voices with the images of the person we have in our heads. But now when I start hearing voices it's time for someone to call the guys with the white jackets for me, not you, me! Annabelle |

There's medication for that Mike  Me I prefer the company of those voices so I can send you some of mine if you like Peace Mike |

| Everyone send their voices over to Raven, he's lonely! A |
| Posted by: Raven 08-Dec-2003, 04:28 PM | ||
are you making fun of me A? That's okay I'm used to it. And I don't start out picturing voices I just start hearing them in my head as I read the posts as if the person was talking. Make fun of me anytime, it makes me laugh. |
| Posted by: Elspeth 08-Dec-2003, 04:43 PM | ||
Hee Hee  He don't know me very well do he? Then again...... Sister A, Brother R... is he right? Heck I don't know what I sound like and it certianly depends upon who I am talking to and what mood I'm in. I have my 'company' manners on when I post here... usually.  |
| Posted by: Annabelle 08-Dec-2003, 04:45 PM |
| Hey Raven it's a heavy job but someone's got to pick at you cause you are a fun and pickable guy! I know you have broad shoulders and can take a little ribbing ok? dododododododo, do you hear what I hear? Go see Raven, he's in charge of voices. I'm in charge of flaky people. Flaky to the left, voices to the right...got it. Front and center Flakies! left , right, left , right Forward March Flakies Let's get away from those voice people. A |

| Elspeth Proper? Are you insane? Annabelle |
| Posted by: Elspeth 08-Dec-2003, 04:49 PM |
| Now Annabelle, honey, you know I can be. You thought I was until you read my joke! Miss Proper E |
| Posted by: Annabelle 08-Dec-2003, 04:52 PM |
| Oh no, been caught in the act! Yep, I thought she was prim and proper too until I spent sometime with her....Lucy Arnez would not be able to keep up with this woman. But I'd go shopping with her...now have to dig in the closet for my track shoes. A |
| Posted by: Annabelle 08-Dec-2003, 04:53 PM |
| Yea, I think about your joke and start laughing! A |
| Posted by: Aon_Daonna 08-Dec-2003, 05:10 PM |
| first, thank you Raven *smile* but I doubt I have a soothing laid back voice at all you might be disappointed. I couldn't describe my voice but I can tell you the way I talk. I stumble over words for example when I get excited, and my boyfriend says that I have that weird Scottish-german thing going with my accent. On my voice itself, I wouldn't describe it as either very high, nor very low, maybe a bit dragging words from time to time. I should get myself a microphone so I could send you a wave file *laughs* second: I see persons in front of me (not always looking like their avatars I have to say) when I read posts, but I read the words, I don't hear voices.. I think it would be something nice to actually hear people talk! |

OH Mike, That was too funny!  maggiemahone1 |
| Posted by: CelticRose 08-Dec-2003, 09:38 PM |
I don't hear voices, but I visualize all the faces from the posters. Then one day I went through and looked at everybody's profile to see their picture! That was great, but I was disappointed when I came across some that hadn't posted their pic. Oh well, I will just let my imagination keep rolling!  |
| Posted by: Raven 08-Dec-2003, 10:13 PM |
| I said that when I read your posts I hear the voices in my head that I have assigned (through what ever weird logic that my mind works on) I should have made a disclaimer about 100% accuracy it seems It's kind of like when I read books and then go to the movies (about the same book of course) and the characters are right on and other times not quite what I expected. One thing is for sure that I can see right now.----you are all definitely characters --ROFLAOJ Besides where I live it is normal to hear voices Peace to all Mikel |

| Ahil I've though I've heard someone speak to me when there is no one around before... I've also thought I smelled a perfume when the person that wears it is not around so I believe anything is possible. What do you think about these things? Annabelle |
| Posted by: andylucy 09-Dec-2003, 04:37 AM | ||
Whew, AD, I'm glad I don't sound like my Guiness bodhran!! When I read posts here, I can't help but assign voices to the people. I have a 5 year old who I read to all the time, and if I don't use a different voice for each character, he lets me know about it (we are reading The Hobbit now; you try to come up with voices for each of the 12 dwarves, that sound like dwarves, but are different. )Aon Donna- sounds like a German exchange student I first met about 15 years ago. The cadence of your posts remind me of hers. Catriona- OK, I know this sounds hokey, but you sound like Fiona Ritchie of "Thistle and Shamrock" fame. I know that y'all are from different areas of Scotland, but that's just how you sound in my head. Barddas- You sound like my little brother. I have no clue why. Annabelle- You sound like my sister-in-law. Southern as southern can be. A true southern belle. Elspeth- you sound like my old college composition professor. That's OK, though, I really got along with her very well. Mike F.- you sound like my old fencing coach. Maggiemahone1- you sound like Maureen O'Hara in "The Quiet Man." Raven- for some strange reason, you sound like Vincent Price. Maybe it's because of the recording he did of Poe's "The Raven." CelticRose- you sound like a young lady from my old reenacting unit, named Rose. Just a few of the voices that rattle around inside my gourd. Please don't take offense at my characterizations of y'all. It's just what pops into my head.  As alwaysJust my tuppence. Andy |
| Posted by: AhilissaMay 09-Dec-2003, 06:49 AM | ||
It's highly possible to do this, I believe in spirts and such so what you say could be true and most likely is. when I am quite and the house is quite I can hear music playing but no radio or anything is on so there you go. Your not alone Annabelle Ahil |
| Posted by: Elspeth 09-Dec-2003, 07:04 AM | ||
Man, I've got to expand my image! I think I've got all of you (or at least most) snowed. Take out that word old! And who says you don't sound like your avatar. |
| Posted by: maisky 09-Dec-2003, 07:46 AM |
| This thread finally convinced me: I have awakened in the locked ward! |
| Posted by: Catriona 09-Dec-2003, 07:51 AM | ||
Andy I don't know the lady at all cos I've never heard of 'Thistle and shamrock'! Should I be flattered, or not, I wonder? Cat |
| Posted by: Annabelle 09-Dec-2003, 09:02 AM |
| Maisky could you ask the ward to hold a reservation for 2? Annabelle |
| Posted by: Annabelle 09-Dec-2003, 09:05 AM |
| I have a CD from the "Thistle and Shamrock" radio program. They play very good music and a wonderful different selection. We get it on Sunday evenings from 1-7 pm and Wed evenings 6-9. When I think about it I try to listen. Annabelle |

| Posted by: Elspeth 09-Dec-2003, 09:12 AM | ||
2? Who you taking with you Annabelle sweetie? Should I get my white jacket pressed? Mikel, dont take us too seriously. No one else does. (now, what voice did I use to say that?) We'll have to 'chat' sometime and then you can tell me if I still seem proper. |
| Posted by: Raven 09-Dec-2003, 09:19 AM | ||
Cool Andy That helps my gothic self image Old Raven told me in Chat last night that he heres the guy from ZZ Top when I post (he might have been yanking my chain )My nickname in college was ZZ because of my afinity for the group and the first concert that I ever saw was Top on their fandango tour. I don't know if it's the tupence thing (which I really like by the way) but you get a soft voice with a strong Irish brogue from me Andy (I hope that's okay because you are stuck with that in my head ) |
| Posted by: Raven 09-Dec-2003, 09:22 AM | ||
Elspeth Don't take this wrong but I didn't say you were proper That is just an adjective that I used to describe your voice. Where is your book post I can't find it and I want to read more Slainte Mikel |
| Posted by: maisky 09-Dec-2003, 09:52 AM | ||
OK, everybody is invited! We'll have a party!     |

Oohhhh..... she said long and drawn out. Oh, so now I'm improper? (this is too fun. smack me when I need to stop)The link is posted on the second page of Celtic Hearts. The book is called A Week in Septmeber. I'll put ithe link below too, but sometimes it is tempermental and you might have to access it from the other page. http://my.core.com/~piascik/AWeekinSeptember-webversion.doc Hope you like it. Did you see I have two Christmas short stories and a poem I wrote for Richard burried somewhere in past pages. (nothing like self promotion) E |
| Posted by: Raven 09-Dec-2003, 10:08 AM | ||
Dear Lady *Bows deeply* I now see that I have deeply wronged you at every turn and I offer my most humble appologies (grovels on the floor for a while before slinking off) BTW your voice got a bit shrill there when you said "OOOOHHH....Improper etc.." I anxiously look forward to reading "a week in September" (Chuckles) Mikel |
| Posted by: Elspeth 09-Dec-2003, 10:25 AM |
| But I do like the bowing, groveling and slinking part. Nothing like a man who knows his place. (ducking as things are being tossed at me) |
| Posted by: maisky 09-Dec-2003, 10:32 AM |
| Groveling is an important part of training for any married man who plans to stay that way. Other important things. If I mess up, I apologize immediately. If my wife messes up, I apologize even harder. |

How does that go Maisky? "Honey, I'm sorry you are a complete dolt and really screwed up"? |
| Posted by: 3Ravens 09-Dec-2003, 10:41 AM |
| Ohhh, Maisky, you will have a long and happy marriage! Just remember to bring flowers and pick up your socks! |
| Posted by: 3Ravens 09-Dec-2003, 10:42 AM |
| Oh, in your case, the flowers should be orchids! |
| Posted by: Raven 09-Dec-2003, 11:16 AM | ||
Excellant advice Maisky!!! |
| Posted by: Danann 09-Dec-2003, 12:22 PM |
| after talking to a lot of you in chat and on here... I think we all sound just a bit looney! Hmm... Don't think proper is the word for Elspeth's voice... maybe cultured and refined? Now, where is my tea...  |
| Posted by: maisky 09-Dec-2003, 12:24 PM |
| Somehow I thought that the ladies would agree with me....and yes, in my case, the flowers are orchid plants. I may not be the sharpest pencil in the drawer, but I am well trained and obedient. |

I am finding this hysterical to read how others perceive my voice from my words. But I understand. A friend describes my writing style as elegant and brooding. However, that isn't how I speak. I am one generation out of the hills of Pennsylvania. Though suburban Ohio removes any accents, family makes sure you don't get above your rasin'. (or eat a buggy raisin depending upon who is hearing the lyrics) Sorry, I digress. Here is a description of my voice. It is low, rarely shrill, slightly lyrical as I am a singer, but my speaking voice is a bit too nasal for my liking- something that is exasperated by living with a smoker. Hear Karen Carpenter with a slight head cold. And my laugh is loud and boisterous. Something that has rang out often today reading the camaraderie in these posts. Dang, I do sound cultured, don?t I. What a hoot! |
| Posted by: Annabelle 09-Dec-2003, 03:21 PM |
| Oh Sister E, YOU are a hoot! You have a pretty voice. And let me tell you folks she had the power to inflict pain on me. She's not prim and proper. She's a very talented and well educated writer who's a lady that puts up with an older bar sliding sister. You are always so hard on yourself. I think you are the best sister I could have. And she has a great voice. Annabelle |
| Posted by: Annabelle 09-Dec-2003, 03:24 PM |
| Aon American's have alot of slang words and expressions and they vary according to where you live stateside. You speak English better than all of us put together trying to speak German. so we'll all keep plugging away. Annabelle |

Elspeth, You truly do hear voices.  For the voices in you head are telling you to duck |
| Posted by: Danann 09-Dec-2003, 03:53 PM |
OK, I needed this... I laughed real good, especially at Annabelle's southern-speak. I just got out of a seriously boring meeting... and the guy's voice just droned and droned... ugh! Had to come back on here so I could hear the inflections of people who can actually talk right!  |

My deepest grovelling apology, Elspeth. (By my quick resort to grovelling, does it give away that I am married?)Actually, she will always be cemented in my memory as the 26 year old freshly minted PhD that I knew her as in the early 80's. Just my tuppence. Andy |

| Maisky, MDF3530 and Raven I Thank ye Lads for your sage advice.  Maisky, I will be over shortly.  MDF3530, no worries about a parking space. With my Jeep, I can park about anywhere. And Raven, if it does get to wild at Maisky, you will be the first one I will PM.  It has got me wondering if this is what they mean by Hearing Voices? Hey did I hear something about the men having a party.  |

All right you Rogue, I'll play your game. (Sean Connery on SNL celebrity Jeopardy) Maisky has a mild scottish brogue and a very gruff yet playful voice. |
| Posted by: maisky 10-Dec-2003, 12:24 PM | ||
A serious Idaho accent rather than a brogue, but close enough. |
| Posted by: maisky 10-Dec-2003, 12:26 PM | ||
ARGHH! You are going to ruin my rep if you keep saying nice things about me!  |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 10-Dec-2003, 12:36 PM |
Ahhhhhh, what a little sisters for if not to ruin their sweet  brother's rep. Work really is interferring with play! |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 10-Dec-2003, 12:41 PM |
Just curious, what would a serious Idaho accent sound like? I agree that placing voices with names & personalities is a must.  |
| Posted by: maisky 10-Dec-2003, 01:18 PM | ||
Picture your students irritating whine. Your question tells me you have been in Idaho too long. |
| Posted by: Guest 10-Dec-2003, 01:51 PM |
| Of course I've been in Idaho too long. Anytime is too long. I'm waiting for my beach in Costa Rica, Belize, Honduras or somewhere else with nice sand and warm water where i can open Mary Jane's on the Beach or Mai Tai's on the Beach. Can't decide. You are lucky to be away! |

| I never think of anyone having a specific voice, rather everyone has a somewhat nebulous vocal quality related to the avalon. The voice tales on a character based on the tone of the post. Sometimes I imagine what someone looks like, without looking at their picture (if one is posted). This is true for everyone except Annabelle. I just imagine a redhead with attitude. T.  |

| Are not black birds actually a smaller species of birds than either Ravens or Crows. I've always had this idea since seeing a black bird pie on Popeye when I was but a wee lad growing up. It seems that the birds were placed in the pie while still alive if memory serves me. |
| Posted by: Annabelle 15-Dec-2003, 09:48 PM |
| Raven that is correct. I seem to remember them in the pie chirping alive and they were a smaller bird in the pie that was on Popeye cartoons. I wish they would play some of those old shows. They were so funny. Annabelle |

| Posted by: Elspeth 16-Dec-2003, 08:06 AM |
| We have crows that wake us up way too early in the summer and I'd like to shoot them all. And speaking as one who lives in NE Ohio, the home of the Cleveland Browns, the past owner of which took the team away to Baltimore and started the Ravens, a Raven in the part of the world isn't safe to walk the streets. So, beware...... If you set foot here, you will be hatched and plucked before you know it. |
| Posted by: Annabelle 16-Dec-2003, 08:12 AM |
| See Raven, Sister E is the quiet sneeky one of the family. And you thought I was trouble? Humm? Baltimore is a great town. Use to live close to it but worked in it. Great town. Very team spirited. Downtown is very friendly and you can walk the streets and not worry about getting jumped. Most of down town is row homes. Ethnic pubs in each ethnic neighborhood. Itlalian's, Greeks, Jews, Irish, Scottish and Polish mostly downtown. All the pub's have a personality like Pubs overseas. Good city! Annabelle |

| Potted Crow: 6 crows 3 bacon slices stuffing of your choice 1 diced carrot 1 diced onion chopped parsley hot water or stock 1/4 cup shortening 1/4 cup flour buttered toast Clean and dress crows; stuff and place them upright in stew-pan on the slices of bacon. Add the carrot, onion and a little parsley, and cover with boiling water or stock. Cover the pot and let simmer for 2-3 hours, or until tender, adding boiling water or stock when necessary. Make a sauce of the shortening and flour and 2 cups of the stock remaining in the pan. Serve each crow on a thin slice of moistened toast, and pour gravy over all. Enjoy Leo |

| Posted by: Raven 23-Dec-2003, 01:27 PM |
| Don't get mad Janie Sort of a cross between Aunt Bea in Andy Griffith and Martha Stewart. In other words the timber or tone of Aunt Bea with the cadence of Martha Stewart. Probably seems more precise than Aunt Bea because all that you say is written down as opposed to being punctuated by Oh Mys and Hoo hoos It really is a good stable voice in my head for you:unsure: Kind of reminds me of my grandmother who taught English and went to Canada fishing with my grandfather every year. ( I realize that you are not old enough to be my Grandma she would be 104 if she were still alive. |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 23-Dec-2003, 03:08 PM |
WOW!!! You are good! That's me, Aunt Bea! Not sure about the Martha Stewart part. Yuppers................. In fact last week when I was trying to get my last class of the day to quiet down I caught myself before I said just sit the f  down. Instead I told them to hush their mouths and sit on their pockets. Thought that was the better part of valor and would keep me farthest from trouble. |
| Posted by: Raven 23-Dec-2003, 08:01 PM | ||
Just for the record...(grins) I'm not saying or making any sort of assumptions about personality or demeanor of each of anybody. It's only the voices in my head (and they are mostly harmless) I will admit that I had not considered the thought of Aunt Bea telling Andy and Opie to sit the *Bleep*down and eat their *Bleep*n dinner. (chuckles to himself) |

Raven, Just for the record, I'd never tell a class that either Not to mention Opie or Andy. I told my husband that you had said that's probably what I sounded like and he really laughed. He wanted to know when you had met me to know that. I was serious when I said good call. *shaking your hand*Happy Holiday! |

| Maisky! Really cool avatar. Trying to figure out what it is though. Looks like someone sitting looking at the ocean? |
| Posted by: maisky 29-Dec-2003, 12:48 PM | ||
It is a jester, sitting and looking at the ocean. You can't see the Murphy's stout in his hand. |
| Posted by: CelticRose 29-Dec-2003, 01:01 PM |
| After looking at it more, I finally figured it was a jester! Saw the stout before I saw anything. That's what distracted me! |

Oh, alright I'll take the beer  Ha! A fellow teacher!  |

Actually, YOU sound like Connery. I preferred sounding like Aunt Bea. My voice isn't near deep enough to bee Sean. |

| Don't worry Janey You are still coming through loud and clear as Aunt Bea to me. (hoo hoo hoo ) |

| Raven I really really really like your new Avatar! It's great! Where did you get it from or did you design it yourself? Annabelle |
| Posted by: frozenrose97 02-Jan-2004, 12:42 PM |
| yes, i guess i do that too. it's seems more like reading a story than a regular conversation. so naturally i assign each person a voice in my head according to what they are saying. then again there are many things that you can't tell whether they should be said in a happy mood or a sad one. but for some reason i don't realize those until after i've read it and only consider it if i have the time, which is very rarely. |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 02-Jan-2004, 02:01 PM | ||
Raven! Thanks, I was really concerned *hehehehe* Love the new avatar! |

| My list, cont'd: JaneyMae: You sound like a former coworker of mine. She was a real nice lady. Maisky: you sound like former Chicago Bears head coach Mike Ditka. Kidclaymore: you sound like my Uncle Jim. Angel: You sound like another former coworker of mine. I just hope you don't laugh like like her (shudder). RavenWing: You sound like one of the anchors on the local news radio station here in Chicago. Mirri: You sound like Shirley Manson from Garbage. Will add more as I think of them. |

| I have 6 voices in my head at all times. I keep hoping they will go on vacation soon but i digress. these voices talk, sing, yell, whisper,admonish, and lavish praise as they feel. Sometimes they do these things to the other posters. On Friday nights they go to the bar and just leave me alone. Can anyone else hear these voices like I can? |
| Posted by: Annabelle 03-Jan-2004, 10:02 AM |
| There's medicine for that ya know? A |
| Posted by: Knightly Knight 03-Jan-2004, 10:10 AM |
| Annabelle, those medicines gave my voices their own voices and we were all confused. My voices asked me ts just say no to drugs. thanks for the halp. Maybe Music Therapy will help, the vouces just might not leave however they might be more sedate. Have a great day |
| Posted by: Annabelle 03-Jan-2004, 10:47 AM |
| But then again if you take the med's you turn the voices into a party! Party on fella's! A |
| Posted by: maisky 03-Jan-2004, 11:26 AM | ||
That would be Tillamore Dew. |
| Posted by: maisky 03-Jan-2004, 11:33 AM | ||
I LOOK kind of like Mike Ditka, too. Anybody who says JaneyMae sounds like Aunt Bea is RIGHT, most of the time.... But, they have never encountered the DARK SIDE....   |
| Posted by: Knightly Knight 03-Jan-2004, 01:07 PM |
| Maisky What is Tillamore Dew? perhaps an adult beverage? Well Cheers to you all and ALL OUR VOICES |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 03-Jan-2004, 02:14 PM |
| Tillamore Dew is a very nice irish whiskey. I have have some that is about 25 years old. Real good stuff |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 03-Jan-2004, 03:47 PM | ||
Yum!!!  I'll be right over. You can pour mine now. It won't take me long to get there |
| Posted by: maisky 03-Jan-2004, 07:22 PM | ||
I'm right behind her..... |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 03-Jan-2004, 09:18 PM |
| The Tillamore Dew that I have was given to me by old friend, It came in a crock with a corked spout. Tillamore Dew hasn't used the crock for about 20 years, so I have been told. I also have a bottle of scotch that is about 20 years old, its real smooth. . all is welcome . |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 03-Jan-2004, 10:12 PM |
| How kind of you, sir, to share such a wonderful treat! I'll be over |
| Posted by: Knightly Knight 03-Jan-2004, 10:49 PM |
| When I speak just think of Mr Haney on Green Acres. I dont really sound like that but i like that voice. Its a cracked up voice which cracks me up. Hmmmmm Tallimore Brew. It sounds good. I live in St.Louis and as a child we lived a few miles from the brewery. Anheuser Busch. When the clouds were low and captured the smell of the yeast it smelled like God had thrown up all over the city. Ive never gotten excited much about alcohol. I dont mind alcoholic drinks but tasting alcohol up front is not for me. I like the drinks where the alcohol sneaks up later and BAM. Knocks you out |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 04-Jan-2004, 11:23 AM |
| Near AnhouserBusch, huh? I'll meet Maisky at your place and you can take us on a tour. Do they serve Diet Coke there? I lived in Olympia, Washington for a bit and the brewery in Tumwater was near and still operating at full force. We experienced the same foul odor. Made me never want another beer again. But time and age changed that. Give me a Guinness and I'm happy |
| Posted by: maisky 04-Jan-2004, 02:14 PM | ||
We should get together and put the poor old thing out of it's misery.. |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 04-Jan-2004, 06:12 PM |
| Hey! whats happen to Raven, he hasn't been around lately. Did Annabelle put him in the pot.lol |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 04-Jan-2004, 08:09 PM | ||
Putting it out of its misery is the only humane thing to do. Let's Euthanise it |

You think I sound nice? Well, have we met ? I know you sound nice! Sean Connery. Every man here sounds like Sean |
| Posted by: Knightly Knight 04-Jan-2004, 08:40 PM |
| we can get you that Diet Coke. At the end of the tour they used to give out all the beer you wanted to drink right there. I think they have backed it off to 1 or two beers. Some people just cant behave.LOL |
| Posted by: Annabelle 04-Jan-2004, 09:04 PM |
| No, I haven't had Raven Stew, he's probably over worked like I am. I saw him on here a couple of days ago. The holiday's are almost over and we can all get back to some kind of normal again. I'm not sure I've ever been considered normal but I'll give it a go. I'm going to start concentrating on exercising to get back in shape after the holidays so I'll be posting late at night and during the work day when I get a break. Hope to catch up with everyone soon. Sure have missed picking at certain people here. They have some nerve having a life and all. Ha Ha! I'll be sure to get Raven when I see him. I've also got to catch up to OldRaven too. Gee, Raven's of some type everywhere. I could serve them up with fries. Oh yea, the diet thing, will have to be roasted. A |
| Posted by: Raven 05-Jan-2004, 07:58 AM | ||
Oh, I have been here watching and biding my time. (sips whisky and eyes Kid Claymore suspiciously, ruffles tail feathers at Annabelle) Roasted indeed |
| Posted by: Annabelle 05-Jan-2004, 04:08 PM |
| Since it's winter and I know how pail you are I figured you could use some roasting to give you some color, honest! So how's my favorite pretty little birdie doing? You being sneaky again? A |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 05-Jan-2004, 06:29 PM |
Hey Annabelle, I thought we had been roasting Raven all a long, don't you think he's tender yet.  |
| Posted by: Aaediwen 05-Jan-2004, 10:26 PM |
| Now Annabelle, youngin'... Yew'd behave yer self and leave the nice birdie alone. Don' make me send yun up da holler fer a switch! Kum help strip dis here 'bakker. |
| Posted by: Annabelle 05-Jan-2004, 10:45 PM |
| Guys can I pinch him and see if he ye'lls! Then I'll know if he's tender but done. Here birdie, come see the nice redheaded wench... A |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 06-Jan-2004, 03:35 AM |
I don't know about a pinch,Annabelle My mother always said to stick a fork in to see how tender your bird is.  .lol |
| Posted by: Raven 06-Jan-2004, 08:26 AM | ||
I like being pale! That's why I only come out at night. Whadda ya mean sneaky again. (dips beak in bird bath full of Jameson, eyes Annabelle suspiciously) |
| Posted by: Annabelle 06-Jan-2004, 09:23 AM |
| Ok I'm going to start putting Jamison into your water so I can finally tame the wild beast in you my pretty bird! You know you like being sneaky! A |
| Posted by: Raven 06-Jan-2004, 10:08 AM | ||
I prefer to think of myself as Stealthy What do you mean you are going to water down my drinking whiskey? |
| Posted by: maisky 06-Jan-2004, 10:15 AM |
| What an EVIL idea, polluting good whiskey with WATER!!! YUCK!! Spanking it is for her!!! Now, we just need someone brave enough to DO it... |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 06-Jan-2004, 10:23 AM | ||
A Diet Coke and a couple beers would about do the trick Can't imagine people abusing the free beer |
| Posted by: maisky 06-Jan-2004, 10:51 AM | ||
The only way I know of to abuse free beer is to put ice cubes in it. |
| Posted by: Raven 06-Jan-2004, 11:37 AM | ||
I feel the same way about diet coke |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 06-Jan-2004, 11:44 AM |
| Both Maisky and Raven have distinctive tastes. No ice in Diet Coke? Who would put ice in a beer? I'm really confused! |
| Posted by: maisky 06-Jan-2004, 12:47 PM | ||
I agree, I wouldn't put diet coke in the beer, either! |
| Posted by: Annabelle 06-Jan-2004, 02:30 PM |
| Spanking hua? we are talking some good stuff now. Who' s the winner that's gonna try....hua Bubba Bird? Maisky the Troublemaker? I never thought about the fact I'd be watering down perfectly good whiskey...ok, I won't water it down if you share with me... I'm gonna get this ole bird if it kills me. Here sweet birdie, got good whiskey in a bowl just for you.(no ice) ..come and sit next to me my pretty little thing. he he he (evil laughter) A |
| Posted by: maisky 06-Jan-2004, 03:27 PM | ||
Maisky may be a troublemaker, but he isn't STUPID! I think I will just stay safely out of reach..... |

Me too!! |

| Posted by: kidclaymore 06-Jan-2004, 04:35 PM |
| Who wants to mess up a good coke. anyway. If you want to put something in your coke, put some good rum in it. |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 06-Jan-2004, 08:01 PM |
| AD, a woman of fine? discerning tastes. No Diet Coke? Get outta here! Oh well, to each his own Coke and rum.......good. Coke and whisky......good. whisky and whiskey...better! |
| Posted by: Annabelle 06-Jan-2004, 08:15 PM |
| How about Diet Coke and Maker's Mark! Yea, my kind of girl JaneyMae! A |
| Posted by: Raven 07-Jan-2004, 09:40 AM |
| I am not really a fan of diet Coke either, I am a part of the Pepsi generation. Of course nothing beats a warm Tab for bitter aftertaste and all the enjoyment that goes along with a diet beverage |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 07-Jan-2004, 12:23 PM | ||
Diet Coke is always first class and goes with anything!!! Especially Maker's Mark Pepsi?  |
| Posted by: Raven 07-Jan-2004, 12:30 PM |
| I could teach the world to sing in perfect harmony if only they would all drink Pepsi |
| Posted by: peckery 07-Jan-2004, 12:35 PM |

Oh Raven! You sounded just like him! You really did that well!!! Question, What's Diet Bubba? |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 07-Jan-2004, 06:43 PM | ||
Raven is from the alien pepsi generation.  |
| Posted by: Annabelle 07-Jan-2004, 07:15 PM |
| Hey now Raven, "In the Heat of the Night" which by the way is one of my favorites was filmed in the town of Covington, Ga about an hour drive from here. Now Carol O'Connor only drank good Scotch or good Bourbon. Not diet Bubba....where are you gettin dat stuff fella....ya know we hang folks lik yu fer talken about da Sheriff! You know you're a redneck if your house is stuck in a traffic jam! A |
| Posted by: Annabelle 07-Jan-2004, 07:19 PM |
| Remember one and all, Coke is the real thing! Not a second best soda like Pepsi. I like lots of ice in mine please! Raven you'd better take off flying if I get my hands on you now....attacking a national institution like Coca-Cola. . . how dare you, you filthy animal you! My My My, I think i'm getting the vapors here. A |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 07-Jan-2004, 08:30 PM |

| I took a taste test between Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, and I refuse to eat at a restaurant that serves Diet Pepsi. |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 08-Jan-2004, 03:05 PM |
| How many of you has taken the pepsi challenge. Pepsi cheats  both the coke and pepsi are served hot and very stale. The one I did, you could not tell the difference between the two, both tasted like hot stale coke. |
| Posted by: Annabelle 08-Jan-2004, 03:24 PM |
| I only drink the real thing Coke actually Diet Coke! I've done the taste test in Washington D.C. and I could tell the difference between both of them and I picked the Coke. Pepsi, yuck~ A |
| Posted by: Raven 08-Jan-2004, 03:55 PM |
| I am a hard core Pepsi fan - the only way that I would not be able to tell the difference would be if my tongue was cut out. Annabelle are you prejudice because you come from the land of Coke he he he Pepsi rules it's the choice of a new generation Death to Coke |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 08-Jan-2004, 03:58 PM | ||
And away we go!!! I love to watch a bird -- er, man being tortured It's grand fun!! Oh, Raven, just think how pretty you will look after your "beauty treatment." |
| Posted by: JaneyMae 08-Jan-2004, 04:00 PM |
Pepsi makes me shudder! It tasts like deisal fuel  |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 08-Jan-2004, 06:34 PM |
| And the after taste, its almost as bad as tab |
| Posted by: Herrerano 08-Jan-2004, 06:42 PM | ||
kidclaymore Posted on Jan 8 2004, 07:34 PM
Oooooh, yuck. Tab. Double yuck. (shudders) The only thing worse is (practically retching) Dr. Pepper. Leo |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 08-Jan-2004, 07:03 PM |
| Now now, Dr. Pepper is not that bad. I will drink one here and there, like when I am in a restaurant that doesn't serve Coke, and all they do serve is pepsi products. Just say NO to Pepsi. |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 08-Jan-2004, 07:10 PM |
| How many of you like Root beer. And what kinds do you like. To me A&W and Braqs is the best, but I like to try all different types. |
| Posted by: Raven 09-Jan-2004, 10:58 AM |
| Just for your information....I think after taste gets a bad rap. I've learned to enjoy it, just like coffee, beer, liver and beets And from a conesouir of aftertastes (I hope I spelled that right) point of view, nothing compares to Tab. I also like Diet Dr Pepper and Diet Barqs |
| Posted by: Richard Bercot 09-Jan-2004, 11:06 AM |
| A Good Root Beer, that I cannot find anymore, is a "Frosty" another one that comes even close to me is an IBC But I still Prefer a good ole Doctor Pepper, I have been a Pepper for 40 years that I remember. Diet Doctor Pepper is even good. But when it comes to Diet Pepsi, that stuff is gross. |
| Posted by: maisky 09-Jan-2004, 11:25 AM | ||
If you put enough rum in it, almost ANYTHING is acceptable.... |
| Posted by: Annabelle 09-Jan-2004, 11:41 AM |
| Yes, I come from a land of Coke. What do you think we were given in our bottles when we were babe's. Prejudice, me? Never A |
| Posted by: oldraven 09-Jan-2004, 11:47 AM |
| Holy crap! This thread went to hell, didn't it. Richard, IBC is great root beer. Barqs is gross. I mixed it with far too much Bacardi Limon one time and haven't recovered. JaneyMae, what does Diesel fuel taste like, exactly? Do you partake of the diesel often? |
| Posted by: Raven 09-Jan-2004, 12:34 PM |
| Oldie having been an OTR trucker for 14 years I can say that I definitely know what diesel tastes like (having had to syphon fuel from my Thermo King to get my tractor going on more than one occaision) and I can definitely say that Coke tastes like diesel fuel So if you want to know what diesel tastes like drink a Coke. Also when you said Holy Crap I heard the voice of the original boy wonder, young Lord Grayson, I'm talking about of course Batman's side kick Robin. |
| Posted by: oldraven 09-Jan-2004, 12:49 PM |
Whenever I see the words 'Holy crap' in a scentence I keep hearing Strongbads' voice. "Oh, if you want it to be possesive it's just I.T.S., but if it's supposed to be a conjunction it's I.T. apostrophy S."::musicnotehttp://homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail89.html I think I've shown you all this one before. |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 09-Jan-2004, 04:54 PM | ||
They started selling Frosty here in Texas again, but it doesn't taste like it use too. I like IBC too. But the one Pepsi makes, I think its Mug rootbeer, its not very good. But then it is made by pepsi isn't it. Do you remember dads rootbeer. |
| Posted by: oldraven 09-Jan-2004, 05:04 PM |
| They still make Dad's root beer. And yes, Mug isn't that good. Back when Pepsi still made Hires they had the best RB, hands down. |
| Posted by: Annabelle 09-Jan-2004, 10:23 PM |
| I really like Hires RB. I haven't seen it on the shelves in a really long time. It was not bitter at all and made the best Ice Cream and RB floats. A |
| Posted by: single speed 09-Jan-2004, 10:27 PM | ||
Richard, there is a place where they still make Dr. Pepper according to the original recipe, with sugar instead of corn syrup. OH! it is heaven! Unfortunately they only sell it in a 40-mile radius of Dublin, Tx. Dublin is about 45 minutes West of Fort Worth. The Dublin, Texas Dr.Pepper plant is the oldest Dr. Pepper bottling plant in the US. In other words, you can get it th 7oz. bottles. If you are ever in Texas, it's worth the visit. As far as root beers go, I'm with you on IBC, It is the best. |
| Posted by: kidclaymore 10-Jan-2004, 01:02 AM |
| I have never tried the hires rootbeer. I will have to keep an eye out for it, I like to try different types from differrent places. |
| Posted by: oldraven 10-Jan-2004, 09:55 AM |
You'll have to use your time machine to find Hires. It was ousted by Mug.  |
