Bear...
I always end up stopping and/or staying occasionally in the Hollywood area.
The high number of cute little blondes in Humvees with logos on em, ahem,... always gets my attention !
But those axles are never gonna get a real workout, heh?
That is certainly not pen is envy. Or is it!

tell you GUYS - as a grown up female, I would rather go straight for the HUMMER,
and not waste a second glance at the "missing link".

Well put Farasha, most gals would have a clue.
but still a waste of resources I think.

capt. mike: now that is interesting what people are associating with HUMMER ??!!
Want to talk about it?
Would be worth on doing an research/test WHAT do you think of when you hear HUMMER!!
Thing is - HUMMER in german language means -LOBSTER - so a different association takes place there.
Thats why I did check out the post, to find out.
And had some fun.
BUT for an AMERICAN I wonder!
HEY, what comes to your mind Guys and Gals if you hear HUMMER

Ordinarily I would have passed up this silliness, but the hummer-lobster connection was intriguing so I did a little research. As Farasha indicates,
"hummer" is indeed the term for the Homarus gammarus, or European lobster, in Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Check this link.

I'm about to laugh my socks OFF !!!
I just love it, to have this play on words, and how people are responding.
I missed some HUMOR last days on the board. And it feels good to be SILLY no matter what age we are, or what the situation is, makes LIFE bearable
-isn't it??
And working in an hospital for ages - you need humor to get around the hardships of life.
Okay will now reply to some Questions.
LARRY - I was - playing inocent gal
and I'm just about getting to understand AMERICAN or NOMADS sense of Humor. I'm used to the rather dry and sarcastic/black British Humor, which is
matching in many ways that kind of humor where i grew up.
And I like to use the smileys -they stand for my emotions, replacing the missing bodylanguage on this conversations - lack of any visual contact can
lead to misunderstandings (as I can see here many times on the BNF).
THANK YOU very much, for complimenting my english, and it is indeed my second language. My native is Austrian-German.
BUT- for the last decades I used to read/speak/study/teach as much in english as in german ( beside other languages). So english turned almost into my
first choice language - when I travelled/lived abroad. Until I could get into the local dialect/ language.
And I have no problem to be criticised or corrected if done in an constructive way - I appreciate to learn something new or different! (american and
british english IS different I know).
And I'll be asking in future many of you guys/girls, to explain certain (for you OBVIOUS) terms or whatever.
KATE : GREAT to hear from you, and that you joined in this silly thread.Might see you soon, going to visit friends in C, in 2 weeks time. Could give
you a call, before hopping on the bus. Will leave from Homebase next week, and move to Secondbase for a month.We could share a HUMMER/Lobster dinner
somewhere in Town.
NOW - Question: I know what hoovering is - BUT is it what I think what you are meaning?? if done on a parking lot?? Couldn't open your LINK from my PC at work (certain LINKS are banned )-will have to do that at home.
DanO : How nice of you to do a research on the Hummer/Lobster, great link - will use it for classroom work when teaching diving. Seems you are (like
me) a Fact Curator( I've been called this after doing an IQ test ONLINE -verry funny) Nice to meet you!!!

That would be bogarting, dude. Not that I would know anything about it.
Farasha, to flummox means to perplex or confuse. Happens to me all the time.
Now, not to hijack this thread or anything, but does anyone have any amusing nicknames for the Pacific spiny lobster found in Baja waters? The best
one I can think of is "bugs," which doesn't have the, ah, prurient characteristics of "hummer."

I'd rather not see the words "hummer" and "crabs" anywhere near each other.
