Glad your back! Even though Ken is awesome and we understand why he blogged for you, we missed you.

I'm happy you had a great birthday. If anyone deserves it, you do.

I think the bulky wool is crying out for a dyeing and fulling project. Maybe a bowl? A hat? A bunch of fey little fishies?

I'm glad your birthday went so well! :)

Ok, please fill in those of us whose foreign language skills consist of one dirty German limerick as to what the Prime Minister might have said!

How could I forget a Harlot's Birthday? Someone must extend the birthday and say it one day late - alas, it must be me. Happy Birthday Harlot.

Let's just say, if it were on the SATs, Baisser would be to screwdriver as Abaisser is to lowdriver. That's still g rated, right?

Yes, that yarn looks likes it's dying for some colour and the excitement of a novelty project. Such a range of lovely gifts you received! I agree that #4 is a real treat - the aftermath can overwhelm a meal lovingly prepared.
That poor boring cardi - bad karma going on there. i hope you can make up with it before it's done or it will be painful to wear!

Lovely blue mohair loops! Yum. Glad you had such a wonderful day. Don't let the boring cardi mock you.

Happy belated birthday....sounds like your day rocked! The dinner and dishes are the best. On my birthday one year, the hubby was on the shores of Cambridge Bay, and the satelitte phone was down so he couldn't even phone me. My boys (15 and 13 at the time) made me spareribs, asparagus, and ceaser salad, and completly cleaned up the kitchen afterwards. Then I had to have a long talk with them about how when women cry it isn't always a bad thing.
Sounded like baisser to me too. Gotta love it.

Well Happy Birthday, Harlot. You are a must read for me but, yesterday I didn't have a chance to comment.
I didn't catch all of the debate but from the body language and the overall tone I believe the Right Honourable Mr. Paul Martin wanted to say, "Lowdriver you and the horse you rode in on."--with a nod to a previous post--and I think that coloured his debating language.

Happy Birthday! Glad to hear it was a great one.

So, after that debate will your PM have to "pardon his french"... sorry... (not sorry enough not to post it, though)

Oh harlot! A "nice rack" from you hubby and a flirt from the young, hot waiter all in a week's time... It is shaping up to be one hell of a year for you, my dear.

Posted by Gina at June 15, 2004 7:55 PM

Well, hell, we all know what tank top you were wearing, and of COURSE you got hit on. Did he, perchance, say, "Nice rack"? If not, I'm sure he intimated it. Very cool, I'd say. Very cool.

So glad you enjoyed your birthday! I'm noticing that there are more than a few Gemini knitting fiends out there . . .

Posted by Theresa at June 15, 2004 10:10 PM

Oh! I missed reading yesterday and missed your birthday!
Very Happy Birthday to you! It's nice when people go out of their way to make a birthday special. It sounds as though a lot of people helped make your day a special one.
Nice job on the blog Ken

Wishing you many more happy birthdays, Stephanie

liz :-)

A tank top, drinking Stella on the patio? Canadian heaven, man!

I concur with dyeing that lovely yarn. I'd select a favorite impressionist painting (perhaps, one by Van Gogh?) and use it as inspiration for the colors.

With 240 yards of bulky wool, I'd make either a scarf (show off those lovely hand-dyed colors!) or a hat. Something to keep you toasty!

Posted by Iko at June 16, 2004 12:49 AM

First, a belated Happy Birthday! Second, the newspapers concur that the PM uh, misspoke himself -- but since probably almost nobody watching the French debate was going to vote for him (at least according to the Quebec polls) it probably didn't matter, other than to provide us all with some harmless amusement. I missed the French debate (I was busy having far too much fun with my husband and my thesis adviser at a wonderful restaurant on College St.) but watched the English debate last night... which I think Duceppe "won", since he didn't give a damn about anything and knew he'd already won all the votes he needs.

Sorry, long and boring comment, I do apologise...

Posted by Aven at June 16, 2004 10:39 AM

Except there's the difference between "baiser", which is what you're thinking about, and "abaisser", which means to lower. As in taxes.

Party Pooper, aren't I? But then there was the moment when Gilles Duceppe said, wrt relations with the US, that you could be friends without getting down on your knees in front of them. Okay, I know what he *meant*, but it's much more amusing to think about the other meanings that could be drawn out of that...

And further to what Aven said, Duceppe wins because he's smart, has his arguments well thought out, can state them reasonably in both languages (did no one else cringe at Harper and Layton's French?), and actually *believes* in something.
