Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: PeadarOfPortsmouth Date: 19 Nov 07 - 01:10 PM Micca, Nice meeting you at the Press Room and hope to see you again...either on a future visit here or on my next trip to London. BTW, I'm planning to learn the version of "Not the Fields of Athenry" that you sang. It's just the song that a good Irish Catholic Bostonian such as myself should have in his songbook. ;-) Cheers, Peter |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Tinker Date: 19 Nov 07 - 08:24 AM I'm sitting here in a quiet house watching the snow swirl around the autumn foliage. And now I'm heading off for a little extra sleep myself. |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: ranger1 Date: 19 Nov 07 - 08:04 AM It is deafeningly quiet here, except for the kitten climbing the curtains. Glad you had a good trip home. |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Jeri Date: 19 Nov 07 - 06:43 AM Here's hoping that Micca survives the next... oh wait - time zones. My guess is he'll sleep for many hours. |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 19 Nov 07 - 06:30 AM Bet the little kitty will be glad to have you back. Get some sleep. I am off to work. |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Micca Date: 19 Nov 07 - 03:39 AM Honey, I'm Home..... and at work too arrived at Heathrow at 5.09am and at work at 8.05 am. but it is only until 11.30am so I should make it |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: katlaughing Date: 18 Nov 07 - 08:22 PM It is those hugs, Mary, I am sure of it! Spaw's got "warm fuzzies? I'm stopping off at Spaw's house!!! Micca, take care, darlin'. luvyakat |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 18 Nov 07 - 07:40 PM I put him on the bus to Boston. Then went off to Jacqui and kendall's for a romp on the beach with Seamus, a trip to the Christmas Tree Shop and a pre-Thanksgiving turkey dinner. Very nice, even got the makings of a turkey sandwich for lunch tomorrow. No Creamed Onions. Try to stay awake at wotk Micca or at least stay away from things that explode. My house is very quiet and very empty. Mary |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: catspaw49 Date: 18 Nov 07 - 05:41 PM I was happy to get in a brief phone call this morning before they left for Logan. This was probably his best visit yet.....a very happy man! One day he'll make it to Ohio or I'll make a Getaway some year when all the stars line up. Like many others here though, I've enjoyed following his travels and escapades. That's what makes the place so much fun sometimes. The great accounts, a combination of tall tales, assorted lies, and perceived realities, when combined with a few photos gives a warm fuzzy to those of us thousands of miles away. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: TRUBRIT Date: 18 Nov 07 - 04:59 PM See you next year Micca!!!!!! Stay awake at work tomorrow. |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: GUEST,Micca Date: 18 Nov 07 - 04:11 PM Here I am at Logan Airport Boston (it still smells of Catholics) waiting to board my flight home. My Heartfelt thanks to all the friends who have made this visit so memorable, SINSULL for her hospitality and friendship whose value is above Rubys (and Ruby is pretty tall) Kendall and Jacqui for just being such totally nice friendly people Tami. for the great Expotition to darkest Keene and just for being Tami Tom and Deborah for a memorable dinner and a chance to meet Becca,who is charming. Tom and Linn for the New Hampshire days and the times at the Press room and through them all the folks at the Press Room for the Sterling welcome. Jeri, what can I say, one of the most impressve songwriters.. etc.. I could go on...and on Tinker for the New Jersey stay and to her family also Chance and Suzette, always a pleasure to visit I will write a proper thank you when I get home but it seemed important to at least make a star, I shall miss you all in the coming months.......and...of course.....The Horse.... |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Jeri Date: 18 Nov 07 - 11:03 AM You just buy a leather coat, Spaw? |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: catspaw49 Date: 18 Nov 07 - 10:52 AM Well geez.....Damn thread is becoming depressive............***sigh***.............. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 18 Nov 07 - 10:49 AM No. It's not. Not even the leather coats. |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Nov 07 - 10:31 AM It's the eyebrows, isn't it? |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 18 Nov 07 - 08:02 AM I was thinking the same thing Kat. When Kendall, Micca or Sandy Paton arrive anywhere, there is a line of ladies of all sizes, shapes and ages waiting for a cuddle. Some just have it... |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Little Hawk Date: 17 Nov 07 - 05:17 PM They don't usually talk much about stuff like that in the Tolkien stories, Kat! Such matters are kept discreetly to the imagination of the reader. It was a much more chivalrous and courtly age than our own in that respect. |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 17 Nov 07 - 11:02 AM Word gets around. G |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: katlaughing Date: 17 Nov 07 - 10:52 AM That definition is very one-sided. There are whole other dimensions to our Micca...perhaps the fellahs never see it, but oh what he does for the ladies! 'twould make you jealous, guys! |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 17 Nov 07 - 09:59 AM That's him, that's the wee hairy person we all know and Giok ¦¬] |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Little Hawk Date: 17 Nov 07 - 09:53 AM Where is Micca????? Well, I just looked it up, and here is the answer... Micca is on page 630 between "Micah" and "mice". It says: Micca - Dwarf-like inhabitant of Middle-Earth in the Tolkien mythos, possessed of a stocky, powerful body, quite hairy, with extremely bushy black eyebrows. Miccas startle their foes on the field of battle by suddenly raising their bushy eyebrows, grimacing, and uttering a hideous ululating warcry. They eat watercress and haggis. They are unpredictable in the extreme. |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 17 Nov 07 - 09:27 AM It got a reaction. G |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Micca Date: 17 Nov 07 - 09:24 AM Depends on what you mean by Trainers, in the UK Trainers are worn on the feet, they are a sort of footwear worn when Training in a Gym!!!or when Running, and yes I can cook and I would invite everyone that has been critical on this thread to a meal (now what was that rule about never pissing off a Chemist?) |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 17 Nov 07 - 08:41 AM A wonderful meal and there was more than enough for you Jacqui. Followed by Black Russians and single malt. I am a little concerned - Micca wears "trainers" and insists on telling me about them. Guess he hasn't heard of Depends. |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Nov 07 - 08:19 AM No Giok - I let him out of the cellar to cook but then it's straight back down there again! |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 17 Nov 07 - 08:15 AM You have a kitchen in the cellar? G |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Nov 07 - 08:05 AM We stayed home and Kendall cooked instead. |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Nov 07 - 08:04 AM Micca can definitely cook! And he shops for it - we spent quite a time in Hannafords yesterday getting exactly what he wanted for that meal. I was tempted to turn up on Mary's doorstep for dinner last night! |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Fortunato Date: 17 Nov 07 - 07:58 AM micca can cook? |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Becca72 Date: 17 Nov 07 - 05:54 AM Sorry, Deborah. The 4th didn't make an appearance so I assumed there were only 3. Still, I think another cat would have just added to my detention time anyway. :-) |

Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: John MacKenzie Date: 17 Nov 07 - 05:44 AM The little scrote has his uses then! G. |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: TRUBRIT Date: 16 Nov 07 - 10:30 PM Becca - you miscounted -- we have four wonderful felines and one wonderful canine.... |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Becca72 Date: 16 Nov 07 - 06:47 PM Tom and Deborah have 3 wonderful felines whom I enjoyed very much but man oh man didn't I get it when I got home. My boys were not happy that they had been cheated on. |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 16 Nov 07 - 06:39 PM I could get used to this. Micca is in the kitchen slaving over a hot stove and filling the house with wonderful smells while I sit at the computer with a glass of chilled wine and play Poker. He does get emotional over chicken. Shouts of despair when he thought I didn't have butter or oil (I have both) in which to saute the onions. Peel me a grape, will you, Micca. Actually I think he has grapes for dessert. No wonder Deborah loves Tom. |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 16 Nov 07 - 01:38 PM Deborah, Isn't it wonderful to trust your friends so completely that you can fall sleep in front of them. The first time I visited Kendall and Jacqui's new home, I closed my eyes for a few seconds and fell sound asleep on their couch. I think they were flattered. Dinner with the Coward's is always an event. Sorry I missed it...and the floor show. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Becca72 Date: 16 Nov 07 - 10:58 AM It was a great dinner. My thanks again to our hosts. |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: TRUBRIT Date: 16 Nov 07 - 09:45 AM I hope I wasn't snoring -- I am so sorry to Micca, Kendall, Bacca and Jacquie for my rudeness -- I don't remember falling asleep but am told categorically that I did.......I can only offer the excuse of two brutal days and a long and nervewracking drive in the dark and the rain on roads that I am not familiar with -- not my idea of fun....! Good thing you all know that I love you....... |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Micca Date: 16 Nov 07 - 08:48 AM Mary, we wouldn't mention such a thing, My thanks to our very gracious Host and Hostess for a most pleasent evening in good company with delicious food and wine. It was a great pleasure to meet Becca, who doesnt resemble Kendall, but has a similar sharp mind and sense of humour!!! My sincere thanks to you all, I am having a quiet morning looking at the rain (theres this guy building a boat and some guys herding animals out back.....) before popping up to TJ Hookers for breakfast (Liz, They make Bacon Butties with REAL crispy bacon) and maybe a perusal of a few shops with Jacqui later..... |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 16 Nov 07 - 08:15 AM Was she snoring????? |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: jacqui.c Date: 16 Nov 07 - 07:56 AM TRUBRIT neglects to mention that she was curled up in a chair, sound asleep after dinner and didn't even know that we were leaving! A lovely evening, Tom produced a wonderful stew and Kendall made apple pie for desert. Micca finally got to meet Becca72 as well. |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: SINSULL Date: 16 Nov 07 - 06:50 AM A shovel? Oh dear. Found another penguin - in the fridge. SIGH! Micca is tucked away upstairs I suspect for the day. It is a cold and rainy day - perfect for a lie-in and I think he needs one. Alice pissed on the dog's bed and managed to include a quilt - SIGH! Tomorrow I get to sleep in and then the Press Room. YEAH! |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: TRUBRIT Date: 16 Nov 07 - 01:18 AM I work for a living too but I managed to be charming during dinner....of course, it helped that I did absolutely nothing towards the meal except turn up twenty minutes before it started.......I have been tied up in boring classes for two days.............. |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: katlaughing Date: 15 Nov 07 - 09:39 PM Hahahahaha....pooping penguins are nothing compared to what I *think* her Secret Santa is going to send her. Mary be sure to have a big shovel! Heeheeheehee! |
|
Subject: RE: Where is Micca????? From: Tinker Date: 15 Nov 07 - 07:51 PM He's gonna need a week to recover once he gets home. Well it seems Mary may need one too. At least the nuns seem to have traveled on... Penguins now ..must be the cold Maine winter coming on. Love Ya both tink |
