LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[danwho]

Some people read the cereal box. I was reading the back of the Pillsbury you bake em cookie box. The one with the sugar cookies with trees on them. I'm not much for word scrambles, but some of you are -- so here's a quick seasonal challenge on figuring out all the words.

And a Merry Volkswagen in the Snow to you too !!

Too funny. I had trouble with that Volkswagen word, too...hahahaha.

Pat S (JET)


Congratulations, Pat S, on earning your Concept2 donation and freeing up a reindeer! Last year's reindeer's name was Apple...and it just wasn't a good reindeer name - although the area that Pat S lives in is known for apple festivals and good harvests. So....like a speeding jet, we are steering clear of the Apple name.

[Kona2]

Michelle's reindeer springs onto the team forum with antler lights ablaze....a pleasant surprise! Welcome back to Michelle....and congratulations on earning your Concept2 donation amounts and then some! Well done!



Michelle (ATHENA)

We'll call her reindeer Athena after the mythical Athena who sprung from Zeus's head fully grown, and who is the goddess of heroic endeavor.

I had trouble with that Volkswagen word, too...

So I think it's safe to say that your reindeer name will not be Snowflake.

[Kona2]

Wowzer, mates! We've got 53 reindeer trotting around in various stages of award levels...so if I miss one, don't hesitate to speak up! We've had quite a few meters posted today, and those reindeer are zooming through flight school and getting antlers....and Prancer has even got her tail wag....my, my, my.



Howard (TURBO) Turbo has passed the 200,000 m donation level, earned that Challenge pin, AND the antler lights.... and a lot of Concept2 donation $$$$. Good job~!



Kristine (SKY) Kristine has met the 200,000 m donation level, earned her Challenge pin, AND the antler lights.....whoop, whoop for SKY!



Marie (BIRKIE) Marie has met the 200,000 m milestone, earned a lot of Concept2 donation $$$, AND her antler lights and challenge pin! Way to go !



bg (PRANCER) Congratulations, Barbara, on zooming past the 400,000 m milestone, earning LOTS of Concept2 donation dollars, the antler lights, the flashing harness...and now the tail wag. Who knew?!

Hahahaha. Actually, I am inviting the team to name my reindeer. I should have enough meters by tomorrow....so let's see what you all think my reindeer's name should be!

I thought Astro short for Astrogation I'm sure Minnie will come up with a name

Too funny. Just now catching up, after a couple of days out of town. My immediate response to K2's reindeer's name challenge was also "Duh, Astrogator." (Duh, optional.) Astro, for her call name. Though ... "Adele" is also Kind-of-Kona. KOK.

Hmmm! How about Statist (short for statistician). This would be fitting since you are the mighty keeper of the numbers.

Thanks! I'm now affiliated and am working towards the 200k meter mark in the Holiday challenge.

Hi Doug - Welcome aboard the star ship Lunatic! "Working toward 200k meter mark in the Holiday challenge!" Now that's the spirit... just the kind of Luna-tic we need!

Kona, I think I found a reindeer name for our new teammate once Doug crosses the finish line. It seems the Johnson Space Center it home to a small herd of deer and a Mini Rover. I would think Rover would make a good name for a reindeer don't you?

Love it!
