“Somebody had to do it, what with that other thread tricking all of us.

LOL! :-)

Hey Ruby so are you in or out for the canoe extravaganza? Luv to see ya there, but I know you and that crazy love slave of yours have that other pending trip right afterwards. hahahhahaha ;-P”

“A little danger is appealing.”

“Innuendo Queen strikes again! Ban her Matt! Ban her!”

“Neither of you mooks look like Ruby.

“Leave it to the liberal media to rip off their headlines! LOL!”

“I am glad I wasn't the only one who kept reading ruby instead of rugby”

“It's a good thing I am blind or I never would have seen it!



HUh???”

“I kept seeing "Ruby" too! Funny. : )”

“Was it Dion who did the song, "Ruby, Ruby"??”

“Echoes of reggae comin' through my bedroom wall
havin' a party up next door but i'm sittin here all alone
two lovers in the bedroom and the other starts to shout
all i got is this blank stare and that don't carry no clout at
all

destination unknown
ruby ruby ruby ruby soho

he's singin and she's there to lend a hand
he's seen his name on the marquee but she will never understand
once again he's leavin' and she's there with a tear in her eye
embraces with a warm gesture it's time, time to say goodbye

ruby's heart ain't beatin cause she knows the feelin' is gone
she's not the only one who knew there's somethin' wrong
little lover's in the distance as she wipes a tear from her eye
ruby's fading out, she disappears, it's time, time to say
goodbye”

“I never read the rugby thread
The rugby thread I did not read
But when I saw the rugby thread
T'was Ruby's name I saw, indeed.

I started once to make THIS thread
I didn't finish what lizs completed,
Her sentence one, "it had to be done,"
Was word for word in the post I deleted.

Remember still, despite the thrill,
Of TT trips when Ruby comes,
The hazard's real, that's the appeal,
So run for your livers and lock up your sons.”

“lol
Good one Fritz”

“Yes, Mark! Great song, too!”

“Ruby Baby

Dion And The Belmonts


Ah now said I love a girl and-a Ruby is her name
This girl don't love me but I love 'er just the same

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)
"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)

["Hey-hey " interspersed with "Oh, oh, oh, oh"]
"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, baby)}
Well, I tell ya

When this girl looks at me she just sets my soul aflame
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, I got some hugs and-a kisses, too
Yeah and now I'm gonna give-a them all to you
Now, listen, now Ruby, Ruby, when will you be mine?

"Hey-hey " overlaid with (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Ah listen, listen, listen, now
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby will you be mine?

“Treebeard, am not sure you're acknowledging this -- although I think your are, but your "huh" threw me -- LOL! -- I said those words in Post No. 6 on the Rugby thread. You said them in Post No. 9.

Liberals indeed!!! >8-O'

OH WAIT, I am one!!!

Now... back to RUBY... don't take your love to town!!!

(and anyhoo, bitpusher started this, :-P )”

“Go ahead, blame it on me.”

“Ruby is dangerous? WELL DUH!!!!! I coulda told you all that...as one of the first TTers to hike with her...duh!!!”

“Damn, Lizs! I stand corrected, humbled and no longer hungry from eating my own words! How about if I blame it on age and poor eyesight, huh???”

“Oh, Tree, you stand forgiven. Anyway, you are so cute "corrected and humbled." I think Mapes needs to put on that dominatrix getup and get you "corrected and humbled" more often. MOOOOOOOOhhahahahaa!!

...and we thought RUBY was dangerous! LOL! :-)

(nyah, nyah EDIT FUNCTION, spirit coyote... and like YOU don't spell words wrong... lol!)

“nummbled?”

“Yeah! Now you talkin'!

“FREAKS!!!!”

“The whip comes down !!!”

“Whatsamatter, Spirit? The old folks too much for you youngins?”

“ugh........all I can imagine is a bunch of old peoples walkers clashing...”

“You should live so long, young lady”

“Holy crap...

I've been a little busy lately. =)

So I leave you guys alone only to find this when I come back for a moment?

What in the heck?”

“LOL, I wondered where Ruby was.

Well you see, there was this thread, "Rugby is dangerous." And many, many people (OK, at least 3 or 4) thought it said "Ruby is dangerous."

Take it from there. You know how strangely TT minds work. ;-)”

“Yeah Ruby, where the hell ya bean?”

“Jon is home on leave. So I've been so busy playing with him that I have barely even sat at my desk to turn on the computer.

Over the last week and a half we have rented a Harley for a few days, gone to a couple parties, spent a fun but cold day at Wrigley Field at a Cubs/Mets game, spent a day trout fishing (I learned how to fly fish), shopped, hung out, and lots and lots of grocery shopping. ;) It's been good to spend time together after nearly 10 months apart.

I'm supposed to be working today, but it's so hard to concentrate.

Nice lyrics/poem/ditty, Fritz! And I never knew there were so many songs about Ruby before?!?!?”

“In third grade I once kissed Barbara Ruby! She said that if I did it again, she would not let me be one of her boy friends. I did date her some during high school. Wish I had married her. Her father owned the largest car dealership in Chicago!

BTW, TT Ruby looks pretty very good, too.

BTW, those lyrics at the top of this post were a song played over and over on Chicago radio stations.

“HOW MANY FREAKING RUBY THREADS TO I HAVE TO BRING UP? HEEHEHEHEHE

HEY...WE ARE GOING TO CALI!”

“I just saw Ruby, nyah, nyah. Check the cabin hos/strap on thread. there you'll find our Ruby. LOL!”

“I liked this Ruby thread the best.....better than all the other "Hey Ruby" threads.


I managed to get my telescoping fork down to three sections so you should be able to do the same with your spoon as well. Just pop the cap off the end (doesn't matter if you damage it because you won't need it anymore) and then close the spoon all the way except for the end section. Grab the very end section and carefully slam it closed. The end of the next section should pop through and expose the shims that keep them from separating. The shims will fall or pop off and you can then remove the outer (end) piece. Perform the same move on the next few pieces you want to remove. It works great and you'll have a shorter, lighter telescoping spoon, but the handle is a pretty small diameter. Still good enough to use though! I think a small screw can then be used to plug the open end.


The fork also went from 1.3oz down to .8oz.

“Wow! Cool!


Thanks, NC!


I had forgotten about this thread. Hmmm, might have to read it.”

“Shoot me an e-mail if you have trouble.”

“Hey Rubester, did you ever get your spoon shortened? If you haven't taken it apart yet, be extra careful: if you save the three pieces you remove, you can then reassemble those pieces and make a second spoon.”

“Noncon, what would you know about spooning?”

“Nope, not yet. I'm not sure I'm going to do it after all.

However, the prospect of taking two spoons and making them into four....why, isn't that what can happen when you spoon?


Hmmmm...perhaps it is a good idea after all.”

“Actually I keep my spoons protected.....an unprotected spoon starts mingling with the forks and the next thing you know you have a house full of little sporks. That's a whole lot of new mouth feeders.”

“LOL”
