Two cats are having sex right now, just beneath my window. Do you know what two cats having sex sounds like? Does the phrase "Painful murder" mean anything to you?

What other sounds of spring are there, hmm?

Spring has sprung
the grass is ris'
I wonder where the birdies is?
Oh there's one flying in the sky
Dropping whitewash in my eye
But I'm a big boy I won't cry
I'm just glad that cows don't fly!

two cats having sex...I'm not trying to imagine that.

Hehe. Any furries in here?

The only sound of spring i've heard is the constant fall of rain that has poured for the last week.

Actually, if I was to say what exactly I was hearing now as being the sound of spring, I'd have to say that Willie Nelson's "Maria" and my mother screaming bloody murder as being the first sound of spring for me.

Thunderstorms indeed rule. Esp the ones in the Mid-West.

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Thu Mar 21, 2002 9:32 am

Why especially the mid-west, Cash?

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Thu Mar 21, 2002 10:13 am

Imagine a place that is pretty much flatter than hell. Now imagine a sky to ground strike. It is very damn impressive. When visiting my relatives in North Dakota, my uncle and I would drive around, away from the town, when there was a storm just to watch in complete darkness.

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Thu Mar 21, 2002 10:22 am

Sounds magnificent.

Oh, it is so Fucking YODA! to see.

Jestyr · Post by **Jestyr** » Thu Mar 21, 2002 10:58 am

When is the storm season, and can we go there then?

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Thu Mar 21, 2002 11:21 am

You know, I guess it must be nice there, because it's clear and all, but I would kill to be somewhere in Borneo around the monsoon time for a few days as well.

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Thu Mar 21, 2002 11:46 am

If we're lucky, we'll catch one.

I agree that:
1. Cat sex sounds horrific.
2. Thunderstorms fuckin' rock!
3. Yes, we must get the thumbs-up smily.
:cool

Post the suggestion in the Embassy then.

I remember one Thunderstorm from when I was about 14 or so, it lasted for about eight hours straight, and it had constant thunder and lightning. *sigh*

A girl-friend (who lived near me) and I would sit on the porch all of the time during Thunderstorms, it would be so cool to listen to the rubbling so far away as the storm approached.

Yep, the Mid-west is a reallllly nice place to be sometimes.

The number one sound around here that shows spring has arrived...

Jackhammers fixing the streets.

Next?

Tornado sirens.

Gotta love this part of the country...

Thorn · Post by **Thorn** » Fri Mar 22, 2002 8:17 am

Dammit! Lightfinger stole mine!

Definitely the sounds of road construction.

The one thing I'll miss about living in Bloomington was the thunderstorms. We get some decent ones here, but in Bloomington (central Illinois) we had tornado alarms going off about once every three weeks from March-May and August-October. Shweeeeeeet.

Sounds of spring... drunken revellers shouting outside at night; it's finally warmed up enough.

Damn kids at the nearby high school coming around and acting "tough". Damn wankers.

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Wed Mar 27, 2002 1:38 pm

Ferking leaf blowers.

Lektrogirl · Post by **Lektrogirl** » Wed Mar 27, 2002 1:46 pm

Leaf blowers???! What the hell kind of diseased trees do they have in California!!???? It's pring, aren't the leaves supposed to be on the trees?

Or is leaf blower supposed to mean something totally different?

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Wed Mar 27, 2002 1:59 pm

Leaf blowers meaning anything hand held that makes a lot of noise, designed to blow shit into the neighbor's yard or out in the street. Weed whackers fall in this category for me as well. Esp when I'm trying to sleep in the morning.

Argh! *has a coronary*

I am not referring to my day time job. that is completely on the up and up and I'm mostly quiet.

voz · Post by **voz** » Wed Mar 27, 2002 2:00 pm

The sound of spring in DC = the noise of tour buses idling.

About leaf blowers, Magnolias up here lose their leaves in the sping.

Lektrogirl · Post by **Lektrogirl** » Wed Mar 27, 2002 2:04 pm

voz, DC has a lot of Cherry Blossom trees doesn't it? If so, are they blossoming yet? My friend in Tokyo says that ones they have there (imported from America) are blossoming like mad now.

voz · Post by **voz** » Wed Mar 27, 2002 2:21 pm

No not yet. There is a web site. http://www.washingtonpost.com/cherryblossoms

Peak starts this Sunday.

Yes they are really beatuiful. My commute is along the river, I can look across at the trees, as I drive. When you walk under them after they peak it is like a pink snow fall.

It is a great romantic walk.

Thorn · Post by **Thorn** » Thu Mar 28, 2002 4:34 am

Wow. Trees blooming? Lake Monona still hasn't thawed yet.

I love Wisconsin, if not for the names, for their pure unadulturated cheese.

Thorn · Post by **Thorn** » Thu Mar 28, 2002 5:45 am

So far my favorite Wisconsin town names are Oconomowoc and Wauwatosa.
