scoubidou

Scoubidou (pronounced scooby doo) seems to be the biggest craze since Pokemon cards. All the kids around here are busily plaiting brightly coloured plastic cords into...well, plaited plastic cords...for no reason that I can discern.

It appears to have originated in the Netherlands. See http://www.scoubidou.nl/
I rather like this scoubidou craze. It's cheap, it requires no batteries and it keeps the little blighters quiet on the buses.

works for me

1. The meeting time you proposed is not yet blocked out in my calendar.

2. The joke you sent me may prove offensive or incomprehensible to persons from other geographical regions, but because I am from California I find it funny.
1. Tuesday at 11? Works for me.

2. A guy walks into a bar in Alabama and orders a white wine. All the hillbillies sitting around the bar look up, expecting to see some pitiful Yankee from the north.

The bartender says, “You ain’t from around here, are ya?”

The guy says, “No, I’m from Canada.”

The bartender says, “What do you do in Canada?”

The guy says, “I’m a taxidermist.”

The bartender says, “A taxidermist? What in tarnation is a taxidermist? Do you drive a taxi?”

“No, a taxidermist doesn’t drive a taxi. I mount animals.”

The bartender grins and hollers, “It’s okay boys. He’s one of us.”
