way cool.  So grama and grandpa misspelled dad's 
middle name. :)
<KidLaLa> And it was....
<BabyRain> I was taking the bus home from work and as the 
busdriver let everyone off at their stops, he said goodbye to 
each of them and told them to take care.
<BabyRain> And most of them replied to him by name.
<KidLaLa> Um, BR, that happens here too.  Really.
<BabyRain> Really?
<GMonkey> We don't get bus service here in the boonies.
* BabyRain thinks she might like Oregon
<KidLaLa> Honest and for true.
<GMonkey> Drive or die!
<BabyRain> But what about drive-by shottings?
<BabyRain> shootings?
<KidLaLa> This is a very close community and people are usually 
super nice to each other.
<GMonkey> Only from buses. :)
<KidLaLa> Good one, MW.
* BabyRain is pretending to be the wide-eyed Maritimer
<KidLaLa> No drive bys to my knowledge.
<GMonkey> Nothing ever happens here in the sticks.
<KidLaLa> I don't usually even lock my doors at night.
<BabyRain> We had one in Moncton a few months ago.  They knew the 
victim, though.
<BabyRain> I think I'd like Oregon
<KidLaLa> Small town Oregon.
<GMonkey> Hicksville Orygun.
<BabyRain> Small town Oregon
<KidLaLa> You would love Oregon, I know you would.  Both of you.
<BabyRain> I think you'd like it here, too
<GMonkey> Well, if you'd find me a good paying job out there, 
I'll move on out.
<GMonkey> Same goes for you, BR.  Of course, I'd need to get a 
work visa for Canada.
<KidLaLa> Eastern Oregon is Hicksville.  Medford is an interstate 
town and we get cool stuff here! :)
* KidLaLa loves Canada very much.
<KidLaLa> We've got our own semi-pro baseball team.
<KidLaLa> Well, not in Medford.  Portland for sure.
<BabyRain> GM, become a citizen.  Repeat after me ... O Canada 
... terre de nos aieux ...
<KidLaLa> MW could move to Redding in California.  That's pretty 
close.
<GMonkey> No way, hoser. :)
<KidLaLa> Or perhaps, Weed.
<BabyRain> Weed?
<GMonkey> What did you expect from Californians? :)
<KidLaLa> Do they let feisty people become Canadians.
<KidLaLa> Weed, California.
<BabyRain> I'm a Canadian, eh?
<GMonkey> I can't sing in French, so I guess I can't be a 
Canadian.
<KidLaLa> Or Zig Zag, Oregon.
<BabyRain> Like I told you, your version of O Canada on my hard 
drive sounds a lot like an anglo mumbling his way through the 
French lyrics. :) 
<KidLaLa> They wouldn't take you, MW.
<BabyRain> We have a lot of weird names in Newfoundland.  There's 
Tickle Cove, and Heart's Content, and Dildo.
<GMonkey> I guess the USA is stuck with me.
<KidLaLa> Are you fluent in French, BR?
<KidLaLa> Dildo?  You have got to be kidding!!
<GMonkey> I knew LaLa would focus in on that one!
<BabyRain> Not really.  I can get by.  I understand French much 
better than I can speak it, and I read and write much better 
than I speeak.  I can't really pronounce things properly.
<KidLaLa> Excuse me?
<BabyRain> No, I am not kidding about Dildo, Newfoundland.
<KidLaLa> That should be illegal.
<BabyRain> It isn't. :)
<KidLaLa> Course the USA has Climax, and Dry Prong, and Cut 
Off...
<KidLaLa> That's too embarrassing.
<BabyRain> BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
<GMonkey> Hey, hey, hey!  We're logging here!
<BabyRain> We're just discussing geography. :)
<KidLaLa> But these are real places, MW!!  Facts!!
<BabyRain> I heard it snowed on Mount Fuji
<GMonkey> Oh no!  She thinks she's Princess Koji again.
<BabyRain> I don't eat breathing chopped-up goldfish.  Bleah.
<KidLaLa> Well, it's been fun, but I must return to the mother 
ship now.
<GMonkey> Yes, it's time to wrap this puppy up.
<BabyRain> Okay.  But for the record, I really mised you guys.
<BabyRain> missed
<BabyRain> :)
<BabyRain> I'm sleepy. :)
<KidLaLa> Bedtime for Babyrain.
<GMonkey> Bedtime for Monkey Woman.
<KidLaLa> Dinner time for LaLa.
<KidLaLa> Hope there's a postcard waiting for me.
<GMonkey> So, I'll talk with you girls tomorrow.
<KidLaLa> Sayonara, sweeties.
<GMonkey> Toodles!
<BabyRain> Let me know when you get your Christmas cards
<BabyRain> Bye!
<KidLaLa> Bye, Gidget.
<GMonkey> Okay.  Bye!
<BabyRain> night, ma.
<GMonkey> Gidget?!
