You could calculate how long you have been on Earth. For example, Dirt says, "While I've been on this Earth, Orangeville has swung past the Sun 21,689 times"
That would be:
59 years
139 days
6 hours

Your answer depends on the spreadsheet or pocket calculator that you use. When I did the above at work using excel I got Dirt's age down to the last pete-o-second (pete-o-seconds are 1000 times smaller than attoseconds.) Here at home I use Quattro Pro and it only resolved the age problem down to hours.

Since math is so much fun, you could work San's challenge at the end of the White Dove vs Jim the tank engine problem.

Or you could get out your collection of memories and reminisce.

Interesting collection Tramp.

Honestly , that was my first thought (an extra long used condum) but didnt want to say - wasn't sure I should say so to a serious writer such as he. However, you have set the standard now. Thanks for the guideline! :D

Seeing how it's Saturday night and all.......

There's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every breath I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler
who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path called "must we"
just before the son has come.

Jesus, won't you ****** whistle
something but the past and done?

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever.

I just want to start things over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.

I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down.

Trust me.

Mother Mary won't you whisper
something but what's past and done.

Trust me.


Now, I have a whole case of a good Scottish Black Ale - if you can see through it, it's not beer! So, who wants one?
What if lollipops moaned every time we licked them?

Yup, it's still in the process of leaving us, here, in NJ, and it dumped a huge amout of rain - heavy, constant downpours and plenty of wind, bending the trees significantly.

Jon,

Cool race.
But I want a locomotive pulling contest that would be similar to a tractor pulling contest.

Flattery will get you everywhere!
