Is this where the term "woodpecker" originated?

I know that, it isn't like I haven't seen one. I do have two children and my name isn't Mary. I just wasn't expecting to see one on my screen in the office. Thank goodness no one walked in when it appeared. :P

drinking hot chocolate and eating pepernoten.
Pepernoten (literally, 'pepper nuts', the Dutch equivalent of Pfeffernüsse) are a cookie-like kind of candy, traditionally associated with the early December Sinterklaas holiday in the Netherlands and Belgium. You will see the pepernoot in two varieties. The first is light brown, randomly shaped, and made from the same ingredients as taai-taai (flour, sugar, anise, cinnamon, and clove) and is fairly chewy, though it hardens gradually when exposed to the air. The other more common variety is hard like a nutshell, hence the name (nut = noot). It is made using the same ingredients used for making speculaas. This variety's actual name is kruidnoot, but people mistakenly call them pepernoot so often, that the distinction is not of much practical importance.
Speculaas (Dutch pronunciation: [spekyˈlaːs], French spéculoos) is a type of shortcrust biscuit, traditionally baked for consumption on St Nicholas' Eve in the Netherlands (December 5) and Belgium (December 6). In recent decades it has become available all year round. Speculaas are thin, very crunchy, slightly browned and, most significantly, have some image or figure (often from the traditional stories about St. Nicholas) stamped on the front side before baking; the back is flat.
You are a fount of Netherlandish wisdom today, Larry.
that reminds me: when is the infamous dutch test taking place?
I don't know. I would imagine that you're the only one qualified to administer it. Maybe you should set the date.
Set the date, j. We'll come to Groningen on the train.

right now i'm cleaning the books i bought at the thrift store.
Right now I'm making Thanksgiving dinner because I was puking-sick on the real Thanksgiving and didn't get to eat any stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, or red cabbage.
Right now I'm working against a 5pm deadline...entering the cone of silence.
What's that Jonathan? You voice is all muffled. Now I can't hear you at all. Speak up, man.
All I hear is "buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz."
for better concentration, i think i'm home alone at the moment.
I hear you. No ... really ... I do. I don't hear Jonathan, though.
Better the Cone of Silence than the Cone of Shame?

Those are two different songs. Are you doing a mash-up?
I Think We're Alone Now = Tommy James
Just What I Needed = the Cars

i didn't know that.
I remember Tiffany singing "I Think We're Alone Now" (her only song?).

Right now I'm trying to warm up after a looooong cold walk in the park with my dog. Boy does he love this weather. I'm settling in with a cup of mint tea and some ginger snaps.
Right now I am watching the clock, only 2 hours until Friday afternoon drinks.

Mmmmm and it's nice and warm in my parallel universe.
What if you lived in a perpendicular universe? Would that be better or worse?
Mod
It won't matter much to me. Mine is the real universe. You are just a figment of my imagination.

Larry wrote: "Things would stand up straight better."
So, which is it?
It depends on which universe you are in. I think.
That's the whole paradox of the perpendicular.
Right now I'm thinking of Barb because my stack overfloweth.
right now i'm half-awake, finishing up two chapters before handing them in. i have about an hour left (plus 45 minutes for getting dressed, getting to the university and printing).
