Lost

Grandad October 24th, 2008

Damnit, but today is one of those days.

I keep losing things.

So far today, I have lost my keys,

my tobacco,

two passwords,

the manual for a Scud missile,

my cheque book,

and my address book.

Has anyone seen my marbles?

Can’t help you with the marbles, but if you’re needing the SCUD manual back, ok, I’ll drop it by after supper.

Thanks, Susan. I was wondering where it was. I launched one at the government, but hit Tallaght instead. The guidance is a bit off. But every cloud…………

So thats what it was .I thought it was Harneys chopper going down.
# Grandad on 24 Oct 2008 at 5:24 pm

Wolfy – She doesn’t use the chopper any more. Something to do with load restrictions in the Chinook?

I have lost a few pounds (weight) this year, but my wife found ‘em.
# Grandad on 24 Oct 2008 at 5:37 pm

Is she holding on to them for you?

I lose my marbles a lot
# Karyn Romeis on 24 Oct 2008 at 6:07 pm

Sorry Tootles. No marbles here at all!
# Grandad on 24 Oct 2008 at 6:12 pm

Flirty – May I be so bold as to ask where you usually find them?

Karyn – Never mind. Lost them a long time ago?

I have your marbles.

I’m holding them ransom.
# Grandad on 24 Oct 2008 at 11:31 pm

Maxi – If you don’t stop handling my marbles and send them back to me, I’ll set Herself on you. Few live to tell the tale.
# Maxi Cane on 24 Oct 2008 at 11:46 pm

Your marbles shall remain in my firm grip. The one known as “herself” does not scare me, I was in ‘nam.
# Spaghetti Hoop on 25 Oct 2008 at 12:21 am

You’re a brave one, Maxi. And I aint referring to your Nam days.
# Grandad on 25 Oct 2008 at 12:34 am

Maxi – Making a statement that Herself doesn’t scare you shows that you are truly delusional and probably quite insane. Herself was Nam.

S Hoop – I have sent the nice men in white coats around to Maxi’s place.
# Spaghetti Hoop on 25 Oct 2008 at 12:37 am

Ah, great. That’ll divert them from my place for the bank hol weekend. Phew.
# Grandad on 25 Oct 2008 at 12:41 am

I was going to say there are plenty to go around, but with all these fecking health cutbacks……. *sigh*
# Spaghetti Hoop on 25 Oct 2008 at 12:54 am

I remember working people’s fear of “The Sherrif” in d’eighties. Does he/she still exist or cutback to a letter with a harp?
My Halloween Costume ideas are growing all the more topical…..

Charlie, there was Charlie everywhere.

He got hit by a live round and there were bits of him all over the place.
# Spaghetti Hoop on 25 Oct 2008 at 1:09 am

Charlie don’t surf.

But I’d say Charlie McCreevey does.

you lost your marbles fair and square. If you had not want to lose them, then you should not have been playing with them.

The manual for the SCUD is on sale at e-bay, http://cgi.ebay.com/SCUD-MISSILE-TECHNICAL-MANUAL-“EAST-GERMAN’_W0QQitemZ330279973583QQcmdZView, for 26.95 USD.
# Grandad on 25 Oct 2008 at 7:19 pm

Jim C – I wasn’t playing with them. The last time I saw them they were in their special marble pouch. Thanks for the link, but it doesn’t work. I wrote to Gregor in the Ukraine for a copy just in case.
# K8 on 27 Oct 2008 at 12:52 am

I attatched a buzzer to my marbles with a button on my keyring so that when I lose them I can find them easily.

They’re usually down the back of the couch.
