looks like a lot of people got Prey... I've liked most of Crichton's books that I've read... has anybody finished Prey yet? Is it out in paperback yet? :)

[Cypher]

Aw, who am I kidding? I can't read.

Is it available as a book on tape? Or would somebody come read it to me as a bedtime story?

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

I finished PREY!!! It is VERY VERY good. It reminds me a lot of Andromeda Strain but with current/future technology.

[LA_MERC_Mercy]

i concur dirgie...i also got it for christmas and i finished it in about a day...very good book, it will keep you interested in it the whole time...and yeah it is a lot like Andromeda STrain...but with a twist...if you dont have it, get it...

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

I'm about half way through and was thinking the same thing as I was waiting to get cleared off the stand-by list to fly back down here. Excellent book so far.

[fishsinger]

Maybe when santa gets your women issue settled she will read your book to you redrum!

[Cypher]

WOOHOO! good thinkin', fishsinger! Hope she can read.

And if Santa doesn't get his stuff together soon, I'm gonna go up there and cut off his ornaments and feed them to Blitzen.

[Cypher]

and I notice you said "women"... plural... do you know something I don't? Has santa got more for me than I bargained for? Oh, the possibilities!

Just wondering....don't they go in the water??? How do the other geese know they have big feet? Or is it like a stabilization thing....keeps them from tipping over.

Scott:D

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

Geese decoys don't go in the water, they go in fields. Duck decoys go in the water.

w00t

[Rooster]

Dirge, that's them California boys. The only geese they see is at the zoo

[Disorder]

i also got a shirt from my sister. this is what it says...

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

lol...That's why I asked. Rooster is right. Actualy I had a pet goose when I was a kid. It was all white with a orange bill. Had some African Geese too but they were mean as all get out.

Scott

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

Disorder, that a t-shirt h3ll tshirt.
Have you seen thier site???
www.tshirthell.com

Scott

[LA_MERC_eX1|eS' ch1|d]

There are goose decoys for the water too, but you southern boyz prolly don't know much about it. Mainly because you have so many ducks down there that there's no room for geese on the water. The Bigfeet decoys that I got are for land, but you can use them in the water too, just need some redneck problem solving skillz.

[LA_MERC_Heater]

I got a new Computer...Woot
