Agh!

This is definitely one of those days when I could use me a tousle-haired Newfoundlander with laughing eyes and a voice like whiskey in cocoa to come and serenade me, for lo, this day is deeply annoying. Or give me a shoulder rub. Or both. Extra bonus points if he brings his bouzouki.

Stupid automation system that doesn't actually work right. I have been spending pretty much every working moment of this day trying to babysit machines through what's supposed to be a painless automated setup process so that they can actually like, y'know, TEST STUFF. But does it work? NooOOOoOoOoooo...

I've gotten one of my two office mates hooked. He's been singing Mari-Mac for the last fifteen minutes.

[annathepiper]

Well done!

[framlingem.livejournal.com]

At speed? ;)

[annathepiper]

I'm not sure it's physically possible for any person new to "Mari-Mac" to sing it at speed without their head exploding.

[framlingem.livejournal.com]

It is so! It sounds like this:

muhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuh!

[annathepiper]

I'm dubious! I posit that even doing this, by the time you get to the last verse you're going to sound like an airplane propellor. ;)

[wingedelf.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. We'll work on "General Taylor" later this week, i think.

[annathepiper]

Yay, multi-part harmony! I'll look forward to your reports on this boy's ability to engage in Vertical Movement.

*has tousled hair and laughing eyes, and is sort of Newfoundlander-ish*

*would serenade, except voice is not like whiskey in cocoa. Voice is, in fact, more like cat in blender*

*hugs instead*

[annathepiper]

Hugs will do. :) *hugs an Em back!*

[technoshaman.livejournal.com]

/me doesn't have much hair at all, and has plans alreddie, or he would offer to come give you a shoulder rub.... and play a Wicked Tinkers CD...

Perhaps a rain check...

Besides, if I do it now you're just going to get all tense again until it works.

*virtual hug*

[annathepiper]

*smiles!* Thank you for the thought, anyway!

One of these days, when I have extra bucks again, I shall have to check out the Wicked Tinkers. After I buy the Carbon Leaf CDs on which I am backlogged, and some Young Dubliners and Seven Nations!

And, of course, the GBS album due out this fall. :D

I didn't think you could get those big dogs to do anything but drool.... :-)

[annathepiper]

GAH, I have no brain tonight! *giggle* Let's try this comment once more, this time with properly formatted HTML:



Newfoundlanders that sing, rather than Newfoundlanders that bark. ;) Credit to seimaisin for the pic!

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

I was gonna say, I saw a a tousle-haired Newfoundlander at the dog park the other day!

[annathepiper]

Geez, all this gushing I do over GBS on my journal and you people haven't figured out which Newfoundlanders I mean when I say "Newfoundlanders"? Clearly I'm not gushing loudly enough. ;)

[kaseido.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

[annathepiper]

I blame those gents in the picture. They do that to my brain cells.

[(Anonymous)]

Heh, I was thinking down those lines too. :-)

[sarekofvulcan.livejournal.com]

Oops, thought I was logged in. :-)

[annathepiper]

Looks like I'm not the only one with misfiring braincells tonight. I blame Mr. Doyle and Mr. McCann, what's your excuse? ;)

[sarekofvulcan.livejournal.com]

Lack of Doyle and McCann? :-)

[annathepiper]

That's pretty impressive, considering that last I checked you had not yet converted into GBS fandom! ;)

[kathrynelaraine.livejournal.com]

Settle for a girl trained in massages? :)

Iggg, I hate days liek that!

[annathepiper]

Mmmm, trained massage! Yeah, I'd take that. :)

The really annoying part of today was having to reset the exact same computers two or three times till they actually consented to work right. GAH!
