Weekly Wrap Up (Aug. 30 - Sept. 5)


Hello Fellow GAers, or can it be GAyers? :unsure:

It is funny how some cities' residents names are made. For example I live in Calgary, we are Calgarians. When I lived in Lethbridge for 10 years, I said we were Lethbians :o. Needless to say my fellow Lethbians didn't find it as humourous. Jeez, its a joke :gikkle: The province next to me, Saskatchewan, their peoples call themselves Saskatchewanites. And then the city of Moose Jaw in that province call themselves Moose Javians. Hi, my name is Steve. First and foremost I'm a Canadian, then a Saskatchewanite as well as a Moose Javian :gikkle: 

Care to share what your community name is, or any that you have heard that are funny or a tongue twister?

Now if we look at the GA weekly blog this week, it is small. It is sooooooo small, I think I need to tell some jokes to fill some of the space :P

What do you call a kid with no arms and no legs in the ocean?

Spoiler

Bouy

I know you were thinking Bob, but you are wrong if you did so :gikkle: 

Okay, I have a trunk full of those but will spare you the rest 0:) 

The reason not much to report is that I messed up :( I should have done Prompt Friday this week, and we do have a few great suggestions left for the member suggested ones, but could always use more.

On Monday Cia was here with the CSR Discussion Day:

Then, as always, the popular Ask An Author 2.0 was hear again brought to by Carlos

And here would be the weekly prompts if I did them :( 

But Myr was on the ball all week, as usual, with the word of the day. You could say he dose them with alarcrity :P

And GA Students, shall we check on your grades last week? I'm going to have to decide if we shall start marking on curve or not :unsure:.

I'm currently a Washingtonian. I was born a Seattleite. Currently I live in Gold Bar and everybody around here call themselves Locals or Valleyites to distinguish themselves from the Tourists, Flat Landers, and F'n City Slickers driving their Escalades and Mercedes to our grocery store to buy up all the toilet paper, paper towels, bleach, sani wipes, cookies, peanut butter, and dog food. Come October 1st, I'll be counting myself as a Texan.

Well I did come up with a joke page...But I didn't find it funny....

Oh yeah, aarhusianer jokes were the thing when I was young. For some reason, people from Aarhus were supposed to be stupid - or maybe simple-minded. Such as:

Why do people from Aarhus walk in the middle of the road ? Because they're scared of the wild flowers along the edges.

But today you never hear those jokes, they're old-fashioned and outdated. Just like Molbo- historier.
