It would be a great incentive to sign up on the website.

Thanks Pawly you put Ireland in your poll how cool is that, if i could get the cheap flights i would join you guys but alas i have been away from home working in London for nearly 3 months and the old lady would probably put the kibosh on my grand travel plans, never mind

Helloooooo Mr. Gadget! I thought you would get a kick out of that! If this year goes well then maybe next year you could schedule a Family vacation to Canada? We'll start planning farther ahead for the next Shindig! Ya know, I this DOES go well, the following years might get big indeed. HHHMMMM????

I hope it does, theres nothing like a good party, ask the Irish !!!

Well, I'm half-Irish, and yes, u r right Timmy! I can definitely vouch that the Irish certainly know how to throw one heck of a shindig LOL :D !! I wish I could make this year's picnic but things aren't working out that way as I've explained to Timmy & Pawly - that would've been so cool to meet some of the great people here But if there's anything I can still do to support it, I'll do it Like finally finishing that Boinc Picnic game LOL Hey Ray, did u see I put 2 of those animated gifs u sent me in the Rat nest LOL - thanks and your falcon is coming along great

Hey Splat,

I love your rat nest. I laughed for 10 minutes when I first saw it - he he. Glad to hear that the falcon is coming along fine.

Cheers

Mmm 2 votes for Ballybunyon, perhaps some people didnt spot the red herring !!!

HHMMMM??? Other that the Spelling mistake I made (and now fixed) I don't get it. Must be a Gaelic thing!! lol

@ Maltese Falcon

Well, if it made u laugh, then that made it all worthwhile cuz that's the point of it all - to have some fun

And yes the falcon is coming along great, but u know what, he is starting to lose patience with me and bites me sometimes - OUCH ! - LOL

My 5 year old daughter loved it so much too. She kept asking me "daddy, can I shoot the mouse down, please, please, please...."

I could NOT convince her that it was not a game and she even cried for a while......HELP!

You gotta help me here Splat.

Let's arm ourselves with some chunks of cheese amo to shoot at the mouse.

P.S. My daughter loves your avatar too. She asks me - "who is that mouse with the hat? Can we bring him home?"

Well Pawly what do you mean it is going to be big, and who knows, maybe even next year, the big dudes from SETI@HOME might come and be a guest speaker ant the next anual picnic cuase they WILL think its the greatest thing since slised bread to hit this world to make SETI@HOME the greatest project in the UNIVERSE:-D[hr] what do you think fellow BOINC'ers

Hi again Ray I'm sorry your little girl cried - but in not too long, the rat nest will be a place she can enter and explore (just by pushing the 4 keyboard arrows) and I promise to put in a nice surprise for her (send me her picture and I'll put in up on a big wall lol). The falcon is almost done - and he is behaving now after I bit him back LOL. Just adding some final touches - hopefully can get 1st draft to you by Monday or Tues - take care my friend :D !!

@ Flight - It's good to dream big my friend!

@ SplatRat - Dude, you are tireless and a great supporter!


Anyway folks, Looks like the voting is done (no new votes in a few days) And T.O. seems to be the clear winner. I will leave the voting open but shall we begin planning a little more in depth?

I like the idea of a campground, gives the option of making a day trip into an over night trip and if any BOINCers maybe party too hard then they can sleep it off.

Thoughts?

campping is good, pawly, i would have never tought of that lol, why would we party to hard, were all respectible men and women ( ya right )

ok then, Sounds like the' BIG SMOKE ' it is, now what i think needs to be done is pick a spesific place and what weekend, ( most weekends are open for me )

Sheesh, now were bitting each other ???

Heh - it's a bird- rat thing LOL - a long story

lol@SplatRat maybe one day ill find out

ahaha - u don't want to know the story, believe me - it'll keep ya up at night

Here's one for you Splat.



Most rats have poor vision, but they make up for it with the "whiskers on their snouts. They use the long hairs, also called "vibrissae," in the same way that blind people use canes. By whisking the hairs across objects the come across, rats and other rodents form mental pictures of their surroundings.

Cheers

Is this why you have a moustache Chris?

That's great, thanks! - never thought I'd see my cousin BratRat here LOL - yeah, he's blind as a bat - but not me!!.

Hey, I've got excellent vision, my eyes are 20-20, don't know what that guy is talking about LOL! Whiskers indeed Timmy! I don't need no "mental visions" of the world around me - I'm mental enough already

Ray, I'll email u later re the surprise game for Rebecca - it's half-done I've been so busy and we're probably gonna have to move to Sacramento . It is very hot and sunny here in Ottawa - 40C with the humidex. Rollerbladed to the dentist earlier ... about 40 minutes from here - oh, did I sweat, but it was wonderful - I love summer Cya !

ps if u wanna have some fun, move your cursor over my sig hehehe and see what happens !

SO the scorching sun is upon us ladies and gentlemen! We should probably pick a date. No? Don't leave it up to me folks! I'm a terrible procrastinator! I still haven't figured out my Canada Day Long Weekend plans!
