[Dixonary] OMASUM: Time to Vote

[MICHAEL HARRINGTON]

Friends,

The following is a list of definitions only one of which is correct. Please
note that as an American who has been corrupted by the rebellion, I have
taken the liberty to change British spelling to American spelling so as not
to tip anyone off to contributed definitions from abroad. Naturally, my word
was taken from an American source dictionary, and spelling therein would not
be British. I apologize/apologise to my British/Irish/Australian, or NZ
friends. (My English grandmother will be rolling in her grave).



I have to announce that the voting will close on Monday morning 0800 PDT, 6
June 2011. The false start had pushed the game to end on Sunday, which is
unfortunate because I have many obligations on that day. First is my usual
Sunday morning church service, and then my siblings and I are getting
together for a patio party to honor our recently passed mother. Since my
brother is coming from Montana all the way to southern California, I cannot
re-arrange this event. Please bear with me.



Thank you all for being so pleasant and helpful to me in this round. Faux
pas or not, it has been fun.

Sorry to learn of your loss. I can't recall whether we already knew this, but I would rather express my sympathy an extra time than to fail to do so.

As for my votes, I'll go with the "Indians":

It was January of last year when she passed from an accidental
fall.Undetected internal bleeding caused her to die within twelve hours of
the fall. We were not able to get together on Mothers Day last month, so it
is a 'delayed' reunion.

I appreciate your concern.

Michael,

First, my condolences on your loss. An extended deadline is not at all uncommon, particularly over a weekend so it should be fine.

I’ll toss my points to the authors of 3 and 5.

I'll go for the biology ones... 9 and 17 for creativity.

Well, #1 would seem to cover everything, so it gets my vote, and #17 because if I had an abomasum I'd definitely want an omasum to go with it, however many plies it had.

another which has no meaning at all:

Hey all!

In regards to my mother’s passing, and for clarification purposes, I feel compelled to say that “recent� to me means within the last year or two. At my age that is recent! The years tick off quickly after you turn a certain age.



Nevertheless, I appreciate everyone’s thoughtful remarks.

7 and 16, please.

Sorry my participation has been erratic lately. Last weekend was the annual convention of the
British Association of Barbershop Singers, this week we've been looking after our grandchildren
every day during working hours, and for the next two weeks we'll be on holiday with only
intermittent internet access. No deals, please!

Best wishes,

Michael -- i certainly understand your family gathering, don't fret on
our account!
Also, the Americanisation is well taken ... i think there have been
both "Global English" (which i try to use, despite only a 3 week visit
to the UK) and "American" definitions in the past. As long as we
don't know the persuasion of the source, it works fine. But this is
good too!

Oh, yes, the votes. Well, slice me off a 16 and i'll have a 17 for dessert!

Yes, it's essentially the same, though we do sing some arrangements of newer British songs. The
style is the same, though, and our champions usually go on to compete in your Internationals.

Best wishes,
Tim B.

[—Keith Hale—]

Very good! I used to sing in a "SPEBQSA" chorus, and although
Baritone is the part i was best for, my range had me filling in for
Tenors in quartets. I'm sure with my 'rusty' pipes and rustier chops
- Bari is all i could manage anymore.

There is a world-famous group in Dallas, near me, the Vocal
Majority... but they really get "show choir" for my taste. I'm cool
with new songs, but these aren't in a Barbershop style at all. They
do the pop stuff well and the BS great, but that show choir stuff sets
my flesh to crawling. Maybe i'll find a suburb group with whom to
'woodshed'.

Tony,

Should I Google Pulaski Skyway or are you willing to tell me what that
means? Pulaski is a county in Arkasas, if I remember correctly, where I saw
the Pulaski Hustler that held the world's speed record for coast to coast
flight. ( Convair's B-58 Hustler Bomber). My first assignment out of
military training.

Mike,

It's the same Pulaski, the famous Revolutionary War General. The Pulaski
Skyway is a set of truss bridges at the upper end of Newark Bay in NE New
Jersey. Probably only locals would be automatically aware that the particular
section of the route of which the bridges are a part curiously bears two
numbers, 1 and 9, and is usually designated 1-9 on signs and on maps.

I see! What an interesting tidbit. I just thought it was a Polish name for
something in NY or NJ. Never occurred to me it was the same Pulaski.

I'm normally bass, but I sang tenor for a couple of years when we were short. U used to be a
stand-in for a quartet called "The Late Shift", singing either bass or tenor as required, and they
had a badge made for me: "The Make Shift".

I've heard the VM; they came to one of our conventions a few years ago. While they were here I think
they mostly sang straight barbershop.

Best wishes,

[—Keith Hale—]

Love it. I used to have a joke answer for a common question, but i
really had to enunciate to land it.

"What part do you sing?"

Me: "I'm BI-SECTIONAL. I sing both ways!"

(Really that was in classical and college choirs, because in
Barbershop i sang 3 1/2 \ 4 ways. Bass on rare occasions. Not
bragging, honestly, just reminiscing. I never had a dazzling solo
voice, at all, but i could bring any part needed to ring the chord.)

Argh. I've really got to get a performing gig - and soon! It was a
huge part of my life. Great to blow mental dust off some of my best
memories!

Cheers!

Not so curious. US Routes 1 and 9 are concurrent for some 30+ miles in New
Jersey and in some places also run concurrently with major highways such as
I-95.

Inasmuch as trucks are not permitted on the Pulaski Skyway, there is an
alternate designated Route 1-9 Truck.

Route 1 itself runs all the way down the East coast from Maine to the
Florida keys. I recall that along the way it is frequently concurrent with other
routes.

I use 1-9 driving to NYC to avoid the toll roads.
