Just because it's not in the quote generator doesn't mean you can't have it. palembic Senior Member Username: palembic Post Number: 2180 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Thursday, December 15, 2005 - 7:46 am:    Huhuhuhu ...a thermometer for Moder Dave saying "you're too hot ...cool down your playing!!!"

If your hands are cold, the mits don't work. Just get a new pair. Bill, tgo speicky Junior Username: speicky Post Number: 49 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Thursday, December 15, 2005 - 2:16 pm:    At least it seems to be a legit auction... not a "Conqueror mit Thermometer", LOL ! And with less than USD 40, you may risk a bid on YOUR next Alembic, folks ! ...well, that thing is not too far away from my home, and it's "mit Thermometer". think, think, okay still one day left to get my wife's permission on investing 40 bucks. Christian davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 2824 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, December 15, 2005 - 2:51 pm:    I don't have a mit for my Alembic either; neither an aftermarket mit nor a genuine Alembic mitten custom made for my S1. speicky Junior Username: speicky Post Number: 50 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Thursday, December 15, 2005 - 3:08 pm:    Now, that's having me scratch my neck: what is a "mit" ? It's a german auction on ebay, and "mit" simply means "with", or "including", but there seems to be the same term in AE or BE with a different meaning which confuses me... some kind of hand warmers, maybe ? anyway, mit ist meistens gut !

Ken speicky Member Username: speicky Post Number: 52 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Thursday, December 15, 2005 - 4:17 pm:    Aah, got it ! Thanks, Ken ! This is the "pool of wisdom" forum on the internet ! :-) you surprise me almost each and every day, it feels so great, hope I can reward that sometime in the near future.

A "mof" in Dutch is a fur sleeve that you can put your hands in from the sides to keep them warm (muffle?) - and also slang for a German. palembic Senior Member Username: palembic Post Number: 2182 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Friday, December 16, 2005 - 4:07 am:    A mit ...we call it a "want" in flemish. Now let see "want" in english is omething completely different but...in German it IS (also) a "mit". Ahlalalaaa ...funny to be part of a multicultural and multilingual community!
