Slow, but sooo graceful, balletic, calming and innocent. (hmmm, never
have met an innocent server tho...) Anyway, lemurs arent slow!! Dont go
pressing your newfangled hectic stressful frantic instant gratification
pace of life on us already flat out sloths:-)) Did I mention i upgraded
my pathetic 14.4k modem to a 56.6 today? wheeeeeee!!!

Dang dang dang dang!!!!!!! I *meant* to say 'anyway, sloths arent
slow' otherwise the rest of my spiel would have been completely
nonsensical (and that would never happen....)
> There, I ran rings around ya logically!!!!!!!!
umm, that wouldn't really be too much of a feat:-))
but are the rings you're running running around a fluffy questionmark
shaped tail??
nooo, it's just that the nasty lemurs are improving their mind control
techniques by the second, and therefore are managing to make my brain
insert 'lemur' wherever possible. This would also explain why i found
myself eating an entire 200g pack of twisties in a mindless stupor last
night, till i made myself feel sick(if someone explains what twinkies are,
i'll try explaining twisties, but i guess you already know) when i can't
even stand the taste of them. ergh...isn't it enough that they're trying
to take over my mind, why can't they leave my body alone (sob)

Twisties are...how does one explain Twisties? They're a sort of
chip/crisp thing. They look like really really tiny neanderthal man
clubs (honestly) and they come in cheese and chicken flavours. The
cheese ones are *very* yellow. I like them :-). And I can still
remember the Twisties ad where someone sang:
Twisties...put a sparkle in your day. Hummmmmmmmmmmm :-)

Twinkies are mock cream filled cake finger thingies that I'm sure have a
negative nutritional value. They taste cool though :-). They have
something similar in Australia now but I can't remember the name of
them. Bakery Treats I think.

Twinkies are very sweet cake bars from America.
Twisties are cheesy chip things from Australia (where all the good

Shouldn't the sex of the frinking lemurs be as important to know if you're
trying to answer my question!!
sniff...puts nose up in air... i thought that one could have a platonic
relationship with a lemur these days without people making suggestive
comments all the time...hmph..
anyway, I thought it was blatantly obvious that i'm a talking black cat

called cheese balls in the U.S. but have a *lot* more colour and flavour.
possibly artificial.....and are shaped like exactly like annette said...i

Cheese Maltesers?? That's gotta be the best description I ever heard!! ha ha

Contrary to popular belief you can actually do it with any packet... some work
better than others though... I had a friend who had over a hundred different
crisp packets, all shrunk to about half their size...now THAT's what I call
anally retentive...

Did you ever do the Twistie packet shrinking trick? Twistie packets
used to be made so you could hold them with a peg on each diagonal
corner, over the stove hotplate, and they'd shrivel up to become perfect
little packets about one tenth of their original size [1]. We used to
use them as keyrings :-). Mind you, if you weren't careful and dropped
them on the hotplate, you'd better hope for understanding parents :-).
Annette
[1] There are kid's toy sets that have stuff in them that does this.
You put thw item in the oven though and it shrinks.

What does NBL stand for (pick the net newbie) I always thought it was the
national basketball league (equivalent of the NBA, in oz) what does
basketball have to do with lemaurs taking over my body. I'm not *that*
round (to be used as the ball) or *that* loopy (to be used as the hoop).
i'm guessing 'Not bloody likely', but I do like to get these things
right. anyone?? :-)

We used to put them straight in the oven, on the rack (i think. my memory
could be affected by plastic fumes(see below)) Preferebly when parents
werent home, so when they returned and asked what the funny burning smell
was(lost count of number of times put packet in oven, found something more
interesting to do,and reremembered that the oven was on, too late) you
could feign ignorance and say the neighbours must be burning off again.
:-) we used to use them as earrings by stringing them onto a pair of
sleepers. lol!! they were keeewlll.
dumb twistie packets are made of foily plastic now arent they?? thats no
fun. never mind 'packed in foil to keep in the freshness longer' or
whatever. Bet they wouldnt shrink proper if you put them in the
oven...i'd try, but after my last foray into 'fixing' the oven door, i'm
staying well away from it...

Well you see, one of the lemurs is actually the third cousin seventeen times
