Morning! How goes it?
  6:03am

Morning Chuck! It goes insane, but from what it sounds like, you are riding the same crazy train!
  6:03am
Andy in Berlin:

we who listen in other time zones salute you
  6:04am
Meghan:

*salutes back to Andy*
  6:06am
Chuck:

Morning to you as well, Andy. You are correct, Meghan. Running 5 good sized molds at once and still doing Forton castings on top of it...
  6:11am
Andy in Berlin:

Hi Chuck!
  6:12am
Dave B:

Howdy, gang!
  6:13am

Andy in Berlin:

Hi Dave!

apologies go out to those in different time zones who might already be on the job, but I am going to bask in this theme in preparation for the day ahead of me.
  6:17am
Chuck:

I concur fully, Dave. Much bouncing around between projects for me today... and the next day, and the next...
  6:20am
Dave B:

Guten Morgen Andy, best of luck Chuck , and Meghan - thanks for the wake up music!
  6:25am
Meghan:

My pleasure of course! No place I enjoy better!
  6:25am
Chuck:

I knew B&S would make to cut no matter what!
  6:27am
Meghan:

ha! i had 2 two choose from..... I just love them.... so wonderful
  6:29am
Chuck:

This one is really good too. Any chance to get a 4AD artist in...
  6:44am
Dave B:

Can never go wrong with the 2 Tone family, can you?
  6:48am
Meghan:

Never! I am itching for the Specials concert in a couple weeks.... ska ska ska!
  6:49am

  7:03am

*cough cough*.... chuck, I think you are coming down with a cold that day.... *cough cough*
  7:05am
Dave B:

Predictive failure is how we refer to it at my job. Predictive failure...

:-D

(and the coughing is NOT related to 420)
  7:06am
Chuck:

Hehe... Wish I could get away with that. This client has been waiting for her stuff a long time though and she's got another piece for me to pick up...
  7:07am
Meghan:

ha! No, it's NOT! You could say that your shipment of rubber or what not didn't arrive... ;)
  7:08am
Chuck:

Oh, and she's HOT as well. I will be entertained...
  7:10am
Dave B:

"when he was black" could be a meme like Seinfeld's "not that there's anything wrong with that"

Thanks for the coffee through the nose Meghan!
  7:11am
Chuck:

That seems to have become a serious drinking problem on your part, Dave!
  7:12am
Meghan:

No problem. Glad to have done my part! hehe
  7:12am
Dave B:

Thursday Afternoon by Brian Eno. Running time for the song is 1 hour 56 seconds. Too long?

Yeah I know Chuck. I should have learned not to drink coffee between sets.
  7:14am
Andy in Berlin:

Eno sounds good. Two more of those and she's done.
  7:17am
Meghan:

hmmmmm i would have to agree a BIT long.... just a wee bit....
  7:19am
Andy in Berlin:

yeah, it's those 56 seconds....the straw that broke the camel's back

A states theme? There are plenty of New York City songs, but are there any about the whole state?
  7:31am

  7:31am

Meghan:

OMG! How did I not think of that one! Oh Ron! I guess that will come in next time I do this theme! No repeats! And no.... we are NOT doing the RUSH experiment! LOL.
  7:51am
jeff p:

then i guess you'll have to do the "sheep"theme after all
  7:51am
Dave B:

HA! nice one Jeff!
  7:53am
Chuck:

I find Jeff's fixation with sheep somewhat creepy...
  7:53am
Meghan:

It's not HIS fixation.... it's My father in laws.... that is WAYYYY more creepy!
  7:54am
kath:

Indeed I did have "Working Man" by Rush on my list!
  7:55am
Chuck:

That is disturbing!
  7:55am
Dave B:

Hey Kath - Thanks for the Fischer-Z - much better than Ru(bbi)sh
  7:55am
jeff p:

kath, i was talking to a friend yesterday about the girls/rush thing. she pointed out she liked the three stooges and a friend of hers said the same thing - girls don't like the three stooges.
  7:56am
Dave B:

one man's sheep is another mans....

Oh skip it.
  7:56am

ron:

Does Johny Cash I'm a worried man fit the theme?Willy and Toots have a version too.
  7:57am
kath:

that figures; I don't LOVE the Stooges, but I do appreciate them. I was more of a Bowery Boys fan.
  7:57am
Meghan:

That is the RU(bbi)SH
  7:58am
kath:

Well now I am obliged to put Rush songs on my lists.
  8:00am
Meghan:

I watched the 3 stooges the other day..... I just preferred other stuff, but they don't offend
  8:00am
jeff p:

I still want the sheep show. I'd love to hear "I got ewe, babe"
  8:01am
Meghan:

I might do it for Father's day.... for my father in law.... that would be a nice gift huh?
  8:01am
Dave B:

How about a theme based on the themes of Rush songs?

And the RU(bbi)SH thing was a jargon our little clique in H.S. used, called b'lingo - any recollection Kath?
  8:02am
