Mazda MX-5 Miata Forum

Thanx everyone for a nice lurcher year…

I’ve been lurching in this group for a year now, until I got a
connection from home instead of work, and now I just want to say
thanks for many good laughs, enjoyable discussions, nice flaming
barbecues et cetera.

ObMiataContent: Miata Experience

It was in the beginning of Januari here in Stockholm, Sweden,
and the weather was, well, wintery….
But it started to thaw and one day there was no snow, about 8
degrees Celsius and not a cloud on the blue sky. I could here
"lilla röd" call from the garage, she wanted a ride. I thought
about it for a moment (very short moment) and put the top down
carefully, and, wearing gloves, cap and a heavy woolen sweater
under the leather jacket, with some warming music blasting out
all it could take, drove onto the freeway west of Stockholm (
E18 against Enköping for the Swedes).

I really enjoyed the drive and I think that I succeeded in
spreading a litlle glimmer of hope of spring in all the vary
minds on the sad grey people sitting in their family cars…
Or maybe they just wondering who the lunatic in the red Miata
was ? But I got more smiles from familyfathers that day than
on any other summerday! So if the Miata normally lures smiles
out of people in the summer, you should try it in the winter,
with top down and a happy (froozen) smile on your lips.

    Jason, I was thinking the same thing.. <grin> I actually yelled at him
    the other night to get off his lame ass and do his )(*!)($@@@!_@* job
    for a change. He just gave me that blank "what? ME?" look he’s so
    famous for. Btw, the Jacuzzi crowd was back tonight, with a fever to
    boot :)
    Where were ya?

    That it is, Tume, that it is.  Identical spellings can be pronounced in
    as many as eight different ways depending on what word they are in.  Even
    native speakers often make mistakes.  But ‘Lurch’ was a character in a
    movie, who was very tall and very strong, but not very intelligent, and
    Jason and Myk were making jokes about someone (not you) they knew.

    Aye, Lurch is the huge Frankenstien looking butler in the Adams
    Family.  The joke we have is about my security guard.. He’s about 6’4,
    never says anything and tries to look menacing.. alas, he ends up
    looking like he sat on a broom handle and is afraid to show
    emmotions.. "You Rang?" has become the running joke around here. :)
    Wasn’t directed at anyone in the group.

    Btw, the best run on the English Language has to be by Gallagher. I’ll
    see if I can’t dig up that tape and transcript it to the group. :)

    Correction, replace transcript with transcribe. My mind is evidently
    on vacation again.
