BassoonPilot Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 (I asked if it was near Jonesport, because the first time I visited there, I stood out like a sore thumb, being the only person without dark hair and eyes. I stopped at the local gas station, and an old guy came out and said "You must be here to see ..." In fact I was; I soon learned that the person I was there to visit was the only non-native in the town. Weird feeling.) quote:Originally posted by brdad: Having never seen Dark Shadows, I had to consult my map and WWW on this one. Well, it's about time you catch up on your mid-1960's TV. This is classic stuff! quote:Originally posted by brdad:Collinsport does not exist, it is a fictional place, between Frenchmans bay and Logansport(which appears to be fictional too!). I know Frenchman's Bay exists. I've spent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours there. quote:Originally posted by brdad:Frenchman's Bay is the bay where ...

Maybe from NJ They were supposed to be one of Maine's oldest families. But every member of the family had a different eccentric accent. The most outlandish accent belonged to Roger Collins.

+The Leprechauns Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 So when God laid out the coordinates for the world, what datum did he use? NAD-0??? GOD-1??? When the Three Wise Men "followed yonder star," was this the first use of the WAAS satellite? And did they have a Garmin or a Magellan? That wasn't the 10 Commandments that Moses brought down from the mountain top. It was a yellow E-trex. And then he smashed it when he discovered that his people had built a golden idol in his absence. How else do you explain their wandering in the desert for 40 years? x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- I keep missing my ex-wife. But my aim is getting better. Quote Link to comment

Davros Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 For a topic we're not suposed to read it's topped off the replies and reads. the thread is holding a close second to the PA Cachers delema part 1.. Hmm.. What's next shall we start another Don't read part 2, this ones starting to streeeech out a bit! As far as Moses wandering in the desert for 40 years that must have been Selective availability. By the way BRDad, you look smashing in that dress! And speaking of Dark Shadows.. And classic shows.. Has anyone placed a cache in Grovers Mill NJ? The first city attacked in Orson Wells' War of The Worlds.. Which in the way history tells the story Orson held a pen and closed his eyes, then droped his hand on the map. Grovers Mill is where it landed and put a mark on the map.. As they say, that incident put Grovers Mill on the map! Even though it was there, nobody really cared before.. (Bit of useless trivia!) I actually have a copy of the transcribed brodacast around here somewhere.. Sorry for getting off the topic, but then again you're not suposed to be reading this anyway remember!! Randall J.

+The Leprechauns Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Hello brdad. I am writing a note for you to read, and maybe have some fun if you do what I say. Would you like to do that? Great! Then we will begin. There is a funny game that you can play. It is called the ant city game. You play it on your PC, in a web browser. To play the game, you first need to open it in a new window. To do that, you need to click your left mouse button on this different colored text which is called a link and then you will go to the ant city game. Once you are in your new window, the ant city game will load. You may have to wait while this happens. Maybe you could count to ten? Or maybe not. All of a sudden you will see the words "click here to begin". That means that the ant city game is ready for you. Click your mouse on the screen. You will see a big glass. Move it around with your mouse! You can make small things look bigger. And then make them catch on fire. I hope you will try this game, brdad. I would not do any thing to trick you. Or make you confused, or waste twenty minutes looking for something that is not really there. At least not on purpose. It is a real game and not a joke. Please let us know if you like the game. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- It's only when you look at an ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day that you realise how often they burst into flames.
