Happy Non-Demoninationl Festivity Dy!

[samvara]

Did Christmas eve with neighbours, we were all sitting around outside chatting then caved to the inevitable and organised a dinner party.

Christmas morning at dog beach BBQ's with massive clan of dog lovers - oh the running, fetching, sniffing and shameless mooching for bacon.

I have a car! Yups, Me. For those who care it's a 1999 TOYOTA RAV4 SXA11R Wagon Cruiser 5dr Man 5sp 4x4 2.0i and is dark green with silver bits. The woofer has given it the snuffle of approval (which involves still being able to drop damp tennis balls down my neck when I'm driving). Toyota gave me wine and chocolate too - the things I have to do to be wined and dined. Sheesh.

Now taking suggestions for names.

Oooooo, now that is one serious slice of trendy internal combustion perambulation, m'dear!

If I wasn't 6 hours north of Perth I would insist on coming 'round and "oooing" and "aaahing" in person!

Very nice. Also shiny!

Why are you 6 hours north of perth? I've looked at a map of the region and it is mostly unfinished. Not enough there to bother with a map, just some vague phrases about "Here there be 'Roos". (-;

There must be /some/ good reason, either that or you have commited some horrendous crime, pray tell. Are you too frightened of injury in close proximity to Maia? (-;

Ha!

I am in fact 40 minutes East of Geraldton (lookit up in yo map; I'll wait) visiting the family's marron farm. It is quiet; perfect for doing nothing much at all!

I will "oooh" and "ahhh" at The M-Mobile when I get home.

I reckon she should call it Lambert.

Heh.

They farm maroon? Is it for export? As a pigment? (-;

So what is a "marron"? [really, I have /no/ idea]

Lambert as in Simnel? Or is that too obscure a corner of english history for you?

Did he really live out his life in the royal kitchens?

A marron is a little bit like a crayfish except kept in dams and having an unnerving tendency to go on moonlit walks.

It is also a tiny bit like a weta, given where you are staying atm you really should hunt one down and play with it.

[evilmattikinz.livejournal.com]

Kitchens - AFAIK yes he did. I think it was a royal practical joke.

Weta aren't recruiting at the moment and I'm not sure about the unnerving tendencies to wander around at midnight nor am I sure if they are a sort of reddish colour.

Actually it's spelled "Symnell" I believe.

Imposter/claiment to the English crown. Son of a joiner, if I remember correctly, and a pawn in the shenanigans to restore the Yorks in 1485 (after Henry VII's victory).

And if some of that ain't quite right, I blames my shenoggled old on-board meat computer.

I was thinking of Johann Heinrich Lambert (1728-1777) myself. :)

And I still think she should call it Lambert!!

Ha! Like spelling was anything other than a Black Arte in the 15th century!

To my shame I had to look up who your Lambert was (although it brings back very rusty maths memories) and I don't really see the connection between him and a hell hound transportation contrivance.

Lambert shouts to me in a doggy context says hyper-enthusiastic, wet tongued, face licking, big dog on springs with added bound. Being more of a cat person I'd venture a "Red Setter"? How do you reconcile Lambert and Vehicle?

[scotsnow.livejournal.com]

Spelling's still a Black Arte!!

Lambert+Mathematician ... no connection whatsoever. The only other Lambert that sprang to mind was Christopher. :)

As for Lambert=Vehicle ... well, I just took one look at the piccy and thought, "Oh, that's Lambert!"

My brain works in mysterious ways and I makes no apology for it!
