Slightly to the right here; CET + sommartid; =UTC+2, I think.

I bestride the world like a Collossus. Sort of.

Actually, if that line is drawn to scale, I'm somewhere inside it.

ethylene, you seem to be externalising your inner dialogue.

posted by veedubya 15 July | 09:17

and here i was just imitating chat
you're a hard ass becuase your engine is in your boot

-700 West Coast Reprazent!

posted by matildaben 15 July | 09:28

You're almost right. At present, my engine is in somebody else's boot.

First it leaked oil. Then it leaked petrol. Then it leaked oil again. Then it exploded. Twice. Then it caught fire. Then it exploded again.

On the plus side, I think we've got oil leak licked.

posted by veedubya 15 July | 09:31

Ditto!

posted by Frisbee Girl 15 July | 09:33

yay, so you're not an old bug!
don't worry, i'll go irc or dress now
continue the time code stamping

posted by ethylene 15 July | 09:34

dodgygeezer means that's both of us. We're both on the line.
A more realistic answer to your question would be ... Neither Plus nor Minus. Because our ancestors invented time to explain the dinosaurs.

posted by seanyboy 15 July | 09:47

Man, and I thought you guys were all about the henges.

posted by Frisbee Girl 15 July | 09:51

No it's hinges. It was called stonehinge and all those stone things were doorways.

posted by dodgygeezer 15 July | 09:53

-7 and a little north of matildaben

posted by warbaby 15 July | 09:56

Left minus six.

That's pretty myopic.

+/-(x=hours difference)
hey i tried

posted by ethylene 15 July | 11:51

but at least i'm dressed and some what tidied
still calling dodgy The Line In The Sand

posted by ethylene 15 July | 11:54

I'm dressed in Friday casual, which I refuse to go along with.

Friday casual -- like I'm actually going to go buy a whole new uniform just to wear on Fridays. Mon-Thu I wear a suit, or at least shirt and tie. I take the word "casual" seriously. I'm sitting here in jeans, sneaks, and a Rt. 66 t-shirt (a lot like this). A couple of weeks ago I pissed my boss off by wearing my "Jack Daniels Official Field Tester" t-shirt (which sometimes gets me free drinks in bars).

If they're going to use the word "casual," they better know what it means.

posted by Hugh Janus 15 July | 12:09

-, like FrisbeeGirl and matildaben and wayyy south of warbaby (I assume), which means work has just started. Which means of course that I'm not working.

posted by muddgirl 15 July | 12:22

Left. used to be with matildaben and frisbee_girl on the west coast, but now i'm stuck in the middle...

posted by Schyler523 15 July | 13:26

Hugh: ever raising yourself in my esteem.

Schyler: come on back anytime you want; west coasties are a nice lot. You can help warbaby hold down the proverbial fort.

Haven't seen jokeefe here but she is north of warbaby. Frisbee is south of me.
