Message for Marcel

Gail wants to know when Marcel is back, however she has given up in despair. Here is her message (note there's only 4 CAPITALS in there):
hi remko,, i can't log on to the blog. i remembered manuel tried to help me ages ago but i ended up putting it in the too hard basket. i think it was a bit of a run around if i can remember. so i had a quick go the other day but other things came up. tell marcel i went to a huge ammount of trouble to leave a comment on the blog eventhough i am a techno dinosaur. that is how important he is to me. now i have to get back to my cave dwelling. see you next week. have a good one. GAIL

Gail, from the other side of the globe (not quite as far as the other side of the digital divide, but still) please know that I am deeply touched by your sweet message and by all the efforts you went through just to let me know you care. I would write more but honestly, I'm so emotional I can't find words to describe my feelings.
Also, I can't wait for September 30 when I will be back (and I may finally see the sun again).

ps: I spoke to someone form the Amterdam samba school yesterday. She just organised a trip to Denmark for the whole school: 30 members of the Bateria and 35 dancers!! Sounds good eh? (well, except for the boring Denmark bit)
I reckon we should do a meet up with them here in Amsterdam *(of course we'd lose Gail to the magic mushrooms)*

Hi all,
Marcel, what's the cat's name?

Remko said...

Do you mean, what WAS the cat's name?

Remko said...

Sorry Marcel, I told Paul about Schrödinger's cat and he couldn't resist...

Melanie said...

Werll the cat is only dead or alive if you open the box, until then it is in a all possible states, much as Gail actually in this contexts.

Marcel said...

I'm actually not confused at all.
I don't know Schrödinger, I don't know what meta-physicial box Melanie is referring to, and we don't have a cat! Unless we do now, of course.

The red tomcat is called Victor. Although typically he also reacts to "hey!" I don't know what all the other cats are called, but they tend to respond well to some non-heavy petting as well.

Paul said...

What a shame more locals don't respond the same way!
Thanks for that. Victor has been visiting regularly. He seems to like my car.

Paul said...

Having Googled whatshisname's cat, I would like to acknowledge that Melanie's comment makes sense in this instance.

I've never understood quantum physics, Star Trek, or why Boyle got to lay claim to Boyle's Law, which is stating the obvious if you ask me.

And I've never gassed a cat in a box.

I'm confused and disorientated ! What's this blog is about ?!?!

Marcel said...

Brian, you're not confused.
You only think you're confused.
