Maybe Engineer Boy can help you build a reliable, safe set of wings.

Go with Daedelus instead  he made it back to earth safely though at great loss.

Ooooh you got me with another one I had to look up, although I was fairly close on guessing from the roots.

ALL HAIL THE HALLOWED HIGH PRIESTESS OF THE HEALING YET LEFT-HOOK YORKIE-HURLING HONEY HYPNOMELONS!

Still awfully stuffy but slowly better.

Honestly, I'm in shock. Just got the news that a good friend passed away, of malaria. Really hard to wrap my head around this one. Young guy, my age. I adored him. One of the guys who really helped me with that horribly difficult (to put it mildly) transition to Indonesia.

A man's work is never done.

If you listen closely, you can hear him inside your head.  

The trip to Bali, the Dreamliner leaves tomorrow.  No wait, they are grounded.  

Hey Yanti, can you have wine in Bali?

Ouch, sore subject! Good news, for my company, they haven't stopped production. 

I'm down for a COJ trip to Bali! 

I WANNA GO!

+1! 

And I don't think I'll ever leave, so just a one-way ticket for me, please

I can, but it would be a terrible idea

However, there's actually a winery that grows and bottles right here in Bali, and their product is not shabby at all. Hatten Wines.

Your company's performance has been considered excellent on the airframe.  I hope you are not impacted by someone else's quality control.

I think we will learn that software reliability is at the root of the battery problem.  I used to do software reliability for nuclear safety systems.  What I learned is that it is very hard to make completely sure that automatic systems will work under all future conditions.  

The Funny Farm is awfully quiet right now so y'all come on down and bring the riot!

Man alive I'd love to see you guys.

No it really isn't!!! 

I'm with Chris on this one.  I may never leave!!

Your dad might be a different sort of oracle.  Listen to him and then do the exact opposite.

I thought perhaps Bali would have some Saudi type of prohibitions against alcohol.  We are cool then.

Gotta sign off guys. This moveable feast is moving.  Destination is uncertain but probably heading north today.  The Mini Cooper is coming home from the hospital.

See ya.

I hope your back feels better TW.  Have a great day.

Bali's Hindu. We're Sodom and Gomorrah here.

Have a lovely one, T-Geeze ... {MELON SQUEEZE}

I can't think of much better than having you and Popeye here together forever.

Hold the Sodom, but I'll take a 2nd helping of Gomorrah, please!  

I am generally happy with my job, we are experiencing tremendous growth and they put me in the position I am in specifically to turn multiple things around.  I have been successful at it and when I see people hindering that change and long term success I voice my opinion.  Doesn't always make people happy, but they know they will get honesty from me which has served me well in my career.  My boss knows that I don't get upset unless it is legitimate and therefore listens when I do.  I have found throughout my career that what most executives lack is people being honest with them, so when they do get that they generally appreciate it.

And my little explosion has already created a positive change, so it was worth getting all spun up over I guess.  I had tried calmly discussing it for the last 2 weeks and nothing changed.  1 good screaming session with facts included and BAM we get desired result.  Shame it has to happen that way.

Me too!!!  (And can I bring Tony too?  Please?  I promise he won't take up too much room...) 

That kinda goes without saying, no?

We have the sex now, yes?

And dessert, can we have dessert too?
