I'm outta here as well. Everyone have a great night and weekend. I will probably be MIA for the next week or so, so make sure to behave yourselves!
Good nite!
GTFO – I want one!

me 2 me 2!!!
Wow! Cool! How'd you find that gem?
It was in the slides for my marketing class. Did you click on the release date?
Just now. WTF?
WTF is right! I am going to write I HATE NOVA SCOTIA in big letters on my exam tonight :)
I'm clearer now. Playing the vid w/o sound takes away alot of the meaning (if you can call it that) of the ads. I do like the idea of the coffee maker.
NOVA SCOTIA reeled you in dude. Ya can't hate 'em too badly. They got ya interested and that's the goal. :)
Sneaky b@st@rds. That's why I work in engineering. We're sneaky right out in the open. ;)
I like the video of the lady shaving her legs at her desk with that thing! I didn't see the coffee brewer yet. Time to head home.
whoohoo! i get to escape. G'nite everyone!!
Nite!
Soooo, let me get this straight... Jerv was Shirley? 'Cause if so, I need to thank him for calling me an autocrat... Though, that title really should go to EG or QoE....
I should probably apologise for my Happy Vegan comment, then......
I could be wrong, but I think the ladies were playin' about Jerv being SUJ. Don't apologise for anything yet.
Did you have a chance to talk with your SO yet?
My cousin Vito is on Business on the left coast this week. He comes from New Jersey,and I am sure can help you with this problem.
OK, I've been reading up on the moles vs. gophers thingy and here's what I've learned:
moles are 6-12" long vs. gophers at 3-4" long (I know I'm opening this can of worms!)
moles tunnel just under the surface and create mounds along the route where gophers are lower and only visible sign is the mounds they push out at the ends.
moles can have whole families living in one burrow where gophers are typically one per burrow.
I'm going to try to lay down some chicken wire after I dig up the dead grass, then lay the new sod on top of that. If that doesn't work we may just go for the astro turf!
You should first get mugshots so the Police can arrest them as they may be illegal Aliens!!
ive DEF got moles...all over my yard are these long mounds of dirt... some days when i'm cutting my grass i feel like Carl Spackler right before he pushes the button...
Hey! How did the testing go? Or are you still doing exams and you're on a break?
I finished one exam and am currently studying for the other which will begin promptly in an hour. I only took a break to come catch up on the days events and to mess with you :)
Confucius was a witty one after all :)
Well thank you kindly for messing with me! On late nites like this I appreciate the distraction. 10pm is a looong way off.
What's your next exam? Also, are you aiming for a degree in something? Or are you furthering your career ....possibly in witticisms? ;)
Marketing is next and last. Working on a double major ,accounting and information systems. Those fit right into my career since I implement accounting software :) I will probably aim for my CPA, since my employer is an accounting firm and they don't take you seriously if you aren't a CPA. I was fortunate enough to get into a career before finishing school, so now at least I know what I learn will be useful :)
Does implement mean the same thing as write when it comes to software?
How much longer do you have to go to get your degree – after you pass this round of exams?
Not at all :) I basically go into a client, analyze they was they operate and then set up the software to be tailored to their needs. The software comes as a blank slate and I make it work right.
Gee golly. 7:30 can't get here soon enough!
@Jaina – Thanks again! Best Thai food I have ever had :)
i've now a hankering for some phad thai.... mmmm..
Where do you go shopping when you're in that neck of the woods?
What neck of what woods?? FL? Food or clothing? Food = Publix; Clothing = Bealls
I'm sorry, I broke in and posted it wrong.
When you're down in the Sarasota/Bradenton area with your bestest friend, where do you do the shopping you were talking about?
I am out. Making grilled steaks for bride tonight and stydying fire supression and psychological response to disaster. Hopefully not at the same times...
Talk to y'all manana!
Have a Great evening with the Bride. Fire Suppression, try out our mole remedy!
G'nite!
ooooooo psychological effects of disasters... that's a process not tackled by the weak-hearted...
Girlfriend, you might as well put your diet coke down or chug it fast. Looks like it's going to be one of those nites. ;)
i would certianly concur!!
Good question tho a Dermatologist may have an answer. Ohhhh,you mean the animal mole–this I do not know.
does the human urine thing work on moles too??? i have a bunch at my house...dogs kill squirrels, but not moles.
If you really want to pee on someone's mole, I'd advise permission first. They may not be into that sort of thing.
OMG!! i just lost some of my diet coke through my nose!!! HAH!!!!
Hmmm...No mention of urine, but I guess you can substitute...
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/mexican-mole-sauce/Detail.aspx
My Brother,We were thinking the same thing as I wrote my answer...LOL.
LOL!!! That would certainly add a special tang to the sauce! Thin it out alot, too.
"Sick minds think alike" I guess. ;)
P!ss on 'em anyway. What's the worse that will happen? Your grass will die? Got that now, right?
I say it is better to be pissed off then to be pissed on.
You're not just whistling Dixie Bro! Unless you're into that sort of thang. ;)
I'm not into Whistling Dixie thank you very much! :)
Well, maybe that's true, but where do you stand on being treated like a mole or a gopher? I'm sure I could find someone in the dungeon to oblige you.
Dungeon you say? Gophers and moles? I think I may pass on that and go back to my mountain...or wherever the heck I live.
As I always say; It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. !
That's what she said.
LOL!! i likes me mole...but not quite sure on the thinning of the sauce... GRIN
Uhm, Bro, I think you should go check out 5@5...
oh!! did i tell you guys what my dogs got me for Mother's Day???? they're so sweet!!!! 4 (yes, that's FOUR – in ONE DAY) [dead] squirrels, two of which were ceremoniously laid oh so gently on my shoes by my boy weim. he was SO PROUD of himself...and then SO MAD at me when i proceeded to get the shovel and jai a'lai them over the fence into the ravine...
That's funny! And you sound so proud! ;)
Happy Belated Mother's Day to YOU! :)
Be thankful they did not try to fetch them when you pitched them into the ravine...That is a comedy skit in the making.
And for the record, I have had cats do that as well. It helps if you act all impressed, and thank them, and remove while he is in the box or sleeping or something...
Thanks!! All i could do was crack up...and then call my mom and inform her that her grandson was a serial killer.... GRIN
i did contemplate just leaving them alone and letting him enjoy his conquests...but he snuck two of them into the house...and nixie likes to carry them around... so they were def getting tossed. :)
Do you ever travel up I-75 through Sarasota/Bradenton when you do your FL run?? I'll be there the week of 5/23.
I'm northeast of there when I load my O.J. Got another conference?
No conference, we have an office over there so going to visit.
Office visit my Azz..I fore see an Florida office audit in your future. Pack the sunglasses,you should be good for 3 or 4 days.
My bestest gf lives there, so I get to go stay with her while on business! Her hubs is a good ole southern gentleman and a hoot! I'm going in the weekend before so we can shop! :)
Don't say that word around Hub's. You know how he gets. You girls have fun!
ohhhhhhhhhhhh flibbertigibbet!!
Need some aquaman soap for that potty mouth? ;)
What's wrong?
lol!! :)
i just severely dislike not being able to do MY job cuz i have to wait for the local idiots to do THEIRS.... and then I get yelled at cuz stooof isnt done yet. *-* so i'll just continue to sit here and twiddle the thumbs whilst ignoramus over there piddlefarts around.
I feel ya girlfriend! What do you do for a living? What info are you waiting / piddlefarting for? ;)
i work in the mutual fund pricing industry... my world revolves around the market closing and getting nav's to nasdaq. im currently waiting for some folks to save their reports so i can use that info to create mine for my client.
Got it! Forgive my ignorance: does that mean you work / live in NY somewhere?
no worries... :) i work/live in the center of the US. Kansas City, MO. yeehaww!
Soooo, how goes it this afternoon!?? LOL Kind of livens things up a bit though and I get a good chuckle watching the verbal boxing. :)
You are soooooooooo in trouble!!! Guess you found the hole in the backyard Hubs and I dug to roast the pig,Huh?
So that's how that hole got there!! I thought the gophers just got realllllly big. Speaking of which, any ideas on how to get rid of gophers?? They are ruining my grass, so we decided to let the grass die out, and hope they move next door to the neighbors... :)
My Ex-Brother in Law in Indiana had the same problem until I gave him this tip.He did not believe me until he tried it....Human Urine. They hate this stuff so party at your house this weekend and we will move the gophers over to Tazer and SeaBee's neighborhood. Yes,it does work.
LMAO! I was yelling at Odie last weekend to pee on the little suckers...he was out there staring down the hole at them, then stuck his whole paw/arm in the hole all the way up to his torso, I thought he was stuck. :) I've heard of coyote urine to get rid of them, but never human...hmmm maybe hubs has a new urinal to try.
HA! Nice answer on the other thread. I'm still chuckling.
Years ago, I went out with a lady who was a DJ for KSAN radionear Stanford University and we could throw arcane R&R lyrics and artists at each other all day. I get the feeling that you and I share a lot of the same preferences...
Oh Yea, I used to play name that tune on 2 or fewer notes. I love rock music and some country western. Grew up on Big Band music tho.
I'm off tomorrow and out of here gang. Tales from the Saturday concert are sure to be in order, however I guarantee there will not be a 3-day hangover this show.
Enjoy the weekend everyone!
Be careful this weekend Bro. Have fun and will talk to ya Monday. Have a Great Weekend.
Now how is that Jerv was able to predict things heating up around here!? And, voila, SUJ is back!!
Oh my gosh! Jerv is SUJ!!!!!!! I don't really think so but he could be...yep, he's SUJ.
SUJ is most certainly Stinkin Up the Joint....
My Lil' Buddy would not stoop that LOW. Besides,PeeWee would kick his Azz!!!
Okie dokie folkies, I'm heading out early. I'll be checking in from home tomorrow. I think I'll do cinnamon pecan sticky buns for breakfast.
Things are about to heat up in the lounge. Remember to be nice. Too bad it is time for me to go home.
"Until it's time ... to not be nice."
"and when will we know when that is?"
"I'll tell you"
As a good friend of mine says, "It's not fun until somebody cries."
Exam one down...4.5 hours to kill til the next one.
@sir b and jaina – know of any good places to eat in fairfax? I don't trust the google when it comes to these things :)
where in Fairfax? The City of or Fairfax County? For City of Minerva is really good and affordable Indian food. Byran's over at Uni Mall is good for burgers/fries/drinks. If you have ever been to the Cantina de Italia in Herndon their other location is in Fair Lakes and is just as good. Sakoontra Thai is also in that area, West Ox and 29, and is the BEST Thai restaurant in the area.
Sakoontra it is! My tummy says thanks :)
Good Choice! They have the most AMAZING Green Curry and their Drunken Noodles are insane :-D I am now really hungry for Thai food and wishing my brother wasn't coming over for dinner :-(
http://www.dancingveggies.com for a new recipe :-D
Nomnomnom....omg this food is good. Beef pad thai for me. Best I've had by a longshot!
I'm not good with really any NOVA eats. I know that sounds bad, but I rarely go out eat eat with the little guy now and if we do, we are pretty much on the Hill.
It's all good! I've lived in NOVA for 4 years and I know nothing about any good places to eat.
Sorry I'm a bit late with this, but I had to tackle a huge pile of paperwork and nearly drowned in it. Anyway, Jerv asked to hear some Robbie Robertson, so I found something...I think...
i just want you to know that i am currently pouting (can you see me? i'm the one with the bottom lip sticking out) as i cant see/hear the apparently good stuff you post. grrrrrrrrr. ;o)
Its "Somewhere Down The Crazy River." Definitely worth checking out when you get home. Thanks, DJC! This album is great as well. Not a bad song on it.
Sorry! There isn't much I can do about that. ;) But like Jerv said, when you get a chance and are in a place that doesn't keep a lockdown on the awesome stuff, check it out.
i'm supp to go to my brother's tonite... ima gonna ck it out for sure! :)
It's that time of year here at work. Employee Satisfaction Survey time. Woo-farging-hoo.
Here's a question I'm having a hard time answering:
"How often are you fully engaged as an employee?
Always Mostly Seldom Never
If mostly, seldom or never, please explain why? "
This makes me want to lie and answer "always" because I'm pretty sure I don't want to explain my life priorities in this survey. Plus I'm only 99% sure as to what they mean by "fully engaged."
Insights? Thoughts?
Is it anonymous?
I'm planning on signing my name.
I dunno about signing the thing. Be careful.
i'd answer always... reasoning: fully engaged translates to: present at work. :)
i think this is their 'wordy' way of asking you if you have enough to do during the day. sneaky devils...
I totally agree with Wendy on this...at work you are engaged (unless u are sleeping at your desk)
Understood. And thanks all for the help.
I'd still like to know your thoughts if I was leaving this A Nonny Moose. ;)
Hmmm. What would you say in either case? ;)
If you want to answer one of the other three, be honest as to why, but polite. Let the company know that they need to improve and that you are doing the best you can under the circumstances.
You're right. I'll consider that. I have no problem telling any employer that my health & welfare and BB's health & welfare come before work. What I don't know is do they consider that "fully engaged" or is that understood?
Thanks Jerv. I am. Very careful. [:-)
One of the best things about being in engineering is the mis-guided expectations of those who are outside of engineering. Within reason I can be as factoid-y and Spock-like as I want because once they find out I'm in engineering, they form a whole different picture of the answers I submit. It's so funny to see the change in people when they learn where these answers come from.
Back for some afternoon fun. Cleaning the house since there is company for dinner tonight...fun times!
As for the earlier polls:
a. Millennial – not a fan but better than the Me Generation which is my opinion is more for people about 10 yrs younger than me.
b. plastic and color coded for kosher :-D This way when I'm cooking meat for friends/family I know that my stuff is safe in more than one way
Howdy doody tooty frooties! Currently beginning a 6 hour voyage to my hometown Auburn, CA with 3 dogs in the car and one of them is having toxic gas! But madre and I are determined to see my little brother run his last high school track meet today so, onward! In other news, I miss you guys!
We miss you too! Hope the healing process is going well!
Miss you, too Sweet Lady! Is everything healing well? Good luck to li'l bro!
Hope the paw is healing and you're back and grooving soon.
Everything is coming along nicely! I had my first follow up yesterday, turns out both tendons were shredded so I got 2 zombie tendons instead of one, ana plate as well. I also had my 36 staples removed yesterday... uh can I say that was waaay more painful than anything else thus far! Next appointment is june 1 and I'll be startin g to walk! Yay!
yeowch!! when i got my staples removed after my back surgery they didnt hurt at all....but then again this is your foot!! take care of your tootsie!!
Is the cast signable?
Nope not sign-able, still the surgical cast. Guess I will never have a real cast!
Can we all tattoo your butt with our names?
Drats....
did you get my picture?!? :)
Good luck today and let us know how it turns out. I am an early bird and do not do well staying up late, never have...so I would probably have been asleep, but would have woken up to greet you or at least expect a good cuddle when you got there...just a different perspective.
Thank you. I was trying to figure out how to word exactly what you said. I'm in your boat yet again. ;)
I used to work with a guy who was the typical Baby Boomer...Loved The Beatles, claimed to be at Woodstock, very liberal, etc. I used to love hitting him with some of these...
Q. What is the difference between The Beatles and N*Synch?
A. Thirty-Odd Years
Did you know Paul McCartney was in a band prior to "Wings"??? Wow!
What is our best hope for a Beatles reunion?
– Shoot the other two.
At any mention of Ringo, just act all excited and say, "Wow, the guy who was in "CaveMan"...
Q. What do you call a dog with wings?
A. Linda McCartney
Both of my parents were Beatles nuts. My father especially would find these hilarious. Although he'd argue with you for hours over the first one.
Don't forget the classic:
Q: When did Paul McCartney write 'Silly Love Songs'?
A: 1962-2007.
I like that...!
And I always though the line from the song "Jet", where he says "Ah Mater", was something about "Life Savers"...
My baby sister is a huge Beatles fan, so I have alot of exposure to tidbits & factoids about them. It's given me a healthy respect for their music.
If I ever get the chance to go to Lost Wages, I will get tix to see "Cirque du Soleil's Love." She gifted me with the soundtrack and the story behind the music for the show. So I'm interested.
I agree...tehy were an unbelievable talent and definitely groundbreaking for their time. I just used to love getting this colleague all riled up...:)
Q: Why is Yoko Ono like a person from a third world country?
A: They both live off of dead beetles
Do you use plastic or wood cutting boards??
I have a red plastic cutting board strickly for meat (so it can go in dishwasher occasionally) and 2 other wooden ones for everything else.
I much prefer wood, as it is easier on my blades. BUT, the bride is a cleaning freak, and hates cleaning wood, says it never seems clean, so we have plastic in the kitchen, but all of my game butchers boards are wood, as I clean and store those in my shop.
Much debate over which holds more bacteria out there, but I have never spent much time reading up on it.
Plastic, always. Especially if cutting into raw meat.
Plastic and periodically clean with bleach to kill bacteria.
Plastic for anything; wood for anything but meat.
Good to know, thanks! I use plastic for the meat too and wood for most everything else.
And another little game to annoy the hell out of Taz.

@SeaBee – Miss Saigon finished a 33 hour journey last night, and while she was not her usual self, we did talk, have dinner and catch up. She was gone for six weeks. My best wishes for clearing this up.
@All – Never knew Superman hawked peanut butter. I guess that would make a NeoCon Corporate Shill. And for the record, any feminine product pushed by Paris Hilton would also be able to douoble as Draiin Cleaner. Just sayin'..."Tough on clogs, won't hurt pipes"...
Hahaha! Good one!
OMG! Liquid Plumr! LMAO!
Thanks for the well wishes and very glad Miss Saigon made it home! Thanks for the chuckle, too... Much needed this morning. ;)
Over the 1/2 mark into the Boomers here as well.
Tail end of the Boomers here...
Alright chums. I noticed there have been a lot of stories on the baby boomers lately. So here's a poll. What generation are you?
1. Greatest (born 1901-1924)
2. Silent (born 1925-1945)
3. Baby boomers (born 1946-1964)
4. Gen X (born 1965-1980 or so)
5. Millennial (born 1980-1999 ((apparently there's some debate over the exact dates)))
6. Generation-yet-to-be-named-but-designated-"Z" (born after the last year of the millennials)
Bonus question, what would you re-name your generation, or another generation if you could?
Millennial, though that seems rather one specific year... Last time that I checked, millennium was 1000 years, and, hence, should only refer to the year 2000. Still trying to figure out a better name, though.
I think it refers to those who came of age around the millennium to those who were born at the start of it. It is kind of odd, I agree. But it's better than "generation next" which I've heard a couple times.
Gen X here. Never really gave the name much thought, it was just X. have to think on that more.
Gen X here. I'm fine with the X, no particular reason why. I would rename the Baby boomers but not gonna say to what cuz it may pizz some Klatchers off. Wasn't Silent generation also referred to as the Lost generation? Are the Millennials also know as the Echoboom?
The lost generation came before all of these. They were the the age old enough to fight in WWI in 1914. So they'd have been born in the 1880s-90s.
X'er here!
Gen X
I'm a Millennial but only by a year. I've heard us referred to as the Me Generation. I'm not terrible opposed to that because, as Queen, everything pretty much revolves around me.
I thought the world revolved around the Royal Things.
Well, my world does revolve around the Royal Things but everything else revolves around me.
Who made you Queen of Everything?
Actually, the millennials have been such a force for change that the me generation label probably suits well.
I think we actually got that label due to the overwhelming proliferation of self-centeredness and entitlement.
I prefer the force of change theory. XD
I agree. That is definitely preferable to being known as the generation of shallow egotists.
That's what I'm going to go with. Another fun name is the Peter Pan Generation, because millennials have largely bypassed or delayed many of the traditional rites of passage to adulthood. Actually, millennials are redefining what those rites of passages should be based on, abilities and character growth rather than an arbitrary act – like buying a house.
Oooo, the Peter Pan generation, I like that. I've never thought about it but alot of us are delaying the former "adult" rites of passage like settling down, buying a house and having 2.3 kids...and a dog.
Millennial hear. I would rename it to "I really do know what i'm talking about so STFU and listen you silly Gen Xers" :)
*here....
Thanks goodness I don't have an english exam today...
@Jerv- I found the Buzzy kit at CVS, and I've seen it at Walgreens. Probably at other pharmacies too...
Thank you fine lady!
On to cup of coffee #2... Can't wait for the inevitable awkward conversation this morning.
Hang tough, CB!
HAHAHA! That's awesome!
Cheer up, chum! Perhaps there is a perfectly good explanantion for the cold shoulder last night. While you don't want to appear clingy and needy, you do deserve an apology.
Thank you, your Majesty.... The long distance thing is definitely been difficult and I was really hoping for a different outcome.
Thankfully I have a surprise party to plan for my dad, so that should keep me more than occupied!
good thoughts coming your way!!
BB & I have been thru issues like this. After you've talked it out, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll have the welcome you originally hoped for. I'm cheering for you!
Well someone over on the glue thread was shocked that I don't wash raw chicken before cooking it!?? Question to you all, is that necessary or did I just fail to learn this little tip?? I always see Giada, Sandra Lee, Rachel Ray, etc., cut open the package, pat it dry, season and cook...
No reason to wash chicken before cooking, you wouldn't wash a pork chop or a steak either, so why chicken. Washing it also increases the opportunity of cross contamination with other items in the sink, including the sink and the sponge you use to clean it.
But it's not a bad practice with any meat, necessarily. You don't know how well it was cleaned before packaging. I suppose some people were just raised doing that. It doesn't make it right or wrong.
Thank you CNN for moderating a harmless comment. Anyway, I agree with you, SirB. Been doing it for years and my cranky azz is just fine.
Would love to hear your take on this? Hope your busy day is going well!
Thanks! Occasionally I'll rinse it if it's extra bloody/slimy (gross I know), but usually buy boneless/skinless and just don't see the need. And I agree, I would never rinse off a steak or pork chop, so why chicken...
Never in my life have I washed raw meat or chicken. I have rinsed fatty ground beef after I've browned it though.
Why wash the meat if you're prepping with clean hands, clean utensils, clean cutting board, etc AND you're cooking it, too? Seems like overkill.
Agreed and I am a freak in the kitchen about washing my hands...have to stop several times to wash even if I am going back to touching it again!
Isn't that different? You're trying to not cross-contaminate the chicken bacteria to other things. From the post on the other thread, it sounded like they were trying to sterilize the chicken itself.
MORNING EVERYONE!!! the diet coke has kicked in – full steam ahead!!! scrambled eggs for breakfast...no vegan to be found here!!!
@SirB – my fave thing on the grill is 1 inch thick venison back strap marinated overnight in sherry and ginger. grilled to a delicious medium rare.
factoid to share with everyone – i used to play in Jeffrey Dahmer's front yard... my grandma's house was juuuuuuuust a few doors down....
@seabee – i dont care if it's 6 days, 6 weeks, or 6 months..i'm staying up to say g'nite!! that's why coffee was invented! life is short... sorry to hear that. mayhap a bad day was had and they didnt want to share the negativity?
Wow, and just wow on the factoid...
yeppers! didnt find out till after i moved here to KC... bleeecchhhh....
Good morning! Just finished painting the bathroom so can say I accomplished something during my week at home. I also have some oregano bread and some english muffin bread for anyone looking for a nice snack. For anyone interested new post up at http://www.dancingveggies.com –> Spring Bean Casserole
Your buddy Spike is getting a lot of negative press in the news lately for being too egotistical and the calling DC a second-tier food city.
I saw that and people are taking his quote way out of context. the original tweet (assuming it's based on his tweet) was something about for so long DC has been thought of as a second tier food city which if anything is being generous. Haters gonna hate I guess...
Well, well, well! Looks like the klastch has gotten off to a fine start this morning! Taking advantage of poor Kat with her wounded moderator finger?? Happy Thursday all.
LOL, step away for a few, and the convo goes into a super tail spin, straight to the gutter.
Really, with this group, you are surprised by that? Pretty sure that all of us deserve to be punished. Thankfully, we have Alee.... hehehe
LOL, not suprised at all, just caught off gaurd, was thinking lion chops, not "Paris Hilton sized" products.......
Zsa Zsa Gabor: Want to pet my pussy?
Jonny Carson: I'd love to if you move that damn cat!
Morning chums. Hope everyone is doing well.
Superman peanut butter? What won't that guy do? Had I been around for this, I would have bought that peanut butter – and destroyed it. All of it. Take that Mr-Look-at-me-I-can-stop-a-bullet-with-my-hand.
Good morning, sir. Might I borrow the minions for a day? Uncle Vinny seems to be busy and I need to put a hit out.
Certainly. I'll send Minion#2 and Minion#4 your way. I'm not sure how great the minions are at hits, but they are certainly the most destructive so far. Minion#2 thinks he's a ninja, so that's a bonus.
Excellent..... (Complete with finger tip tapping, ala Mr. Burns)
They can certainly keep your targets occupied while you wait for uncle Vinny to free up his schedule.
At least he never hawked feminine hygiene products on the tube.
I don't even want to think about that.
I can hear Stuperman now. "You can have a vagina of steel with my Stuperman FDS spray! Buy now and get the second one free to share with you best friend so you can be super twats together!"
LOL! Jerv: Super Tw@t! promoter! HA!
What an awesome plug (oh yes I did) that would be, Rich! "Super-strength absorbency! Shorten your special days by half! Now available in sizes from Super Small, for beginners, to our new super-large Paris Hilton size!"
I SAID I didn't want to think about this!
Wow.... I feel I may need a shower. Perhaps I will go use my AquaMan soap. (There are plenty of jokes that I could insert, here.)
"Paris Hilton size!" LM g DAO!
You're going to insert what into your Aquaman soap? ;)
Morning, Klatschkies! Got into the parents' place about 1 last night, watched some TV and finally fell asleep about 2. Woke up a little after 5, so, even though I have never had chickory coffee, and may not like it, at all, feel free to pass a BIG azz cup on over this way, Rich....
Not to be a complete downer this morning, either, but I have a quick relationship question for y'all...
If you had not seen your significant other in six weeks, is it too much to ask to say hi really quick, even if it's really late at night?
One Big cup coming your way. Glad you made it safely. As for question 2-It's never too early or late to say hello to anyone.
Thanks, on both counts... Was not hoping to start my mini-vacation on the right foot, but, apparently, that was too much to hope for.
I completely agree with Rich. It doesn't matter how long you've been apart either. It's never too late or too early.
So are you saying that it was really late, you were completey bushed, said a quick hello and hit the rack and now your significant other is pissed off cuz they feel slighted?
Uh, no, I am the one feeling slighted. The S.O. said they were too tired to stay up...... Granted, it was after midnight, but, still. Feeling really hurt by that. If the roles had been reversed I would have waited however long it took....
Damn, sorry to hear that dude. RicH and AleeD are spot on, never too late or too tired for a salutaion. Especially after a 6 week hiatus.
Good morning everyone! Wow... people are up and active early.
I just planted seeds for more herbs at my office (I picked up a Buzzy kit with Lavender, Oregano, and Thyme). Still have Sage and Mint to start, and I want to pick up chives at least.
Hey, how is it going Mil? Where did you get the Buzzy kit?
Good Morning,I purchased a Chia Pet that is a replica of the Queen and am growing chives on her head. I will trim them as needed to give her that Afro look. :)))))
Dude ..... ette, lemme know if you need help with that "oregano."
"I got dat gold! I got dat o-ray-ga- know!!"
Good morning everyone! How are you all doing?
Doing well, thanks for asking. Do you take Jukebox requests?
Depends... What is it?
I was thinking of some Bodeans or Robbie Robertson.
What's the wildest or your favorite thing to grill on the BBQ?
I likez legs and eyeballs in a stew with hickory chips for that backwoods taste.
Men who misbehave. WsssssCRACK!!
You do realize that when you brandish the whip, it's practically kryptonite to me.
Oh I'm crystal, Superman.
Now fire up that grille! People are hungry!
[I'll deal with you later.]
On that note, I have both the gas grill and the charcoal grill fired up and prepping as we speak.
Whoops! Name change Fail!
Get it together Biddle or you can drop and give me 50!!
WssssssssssPOP!
50 sounds just about right ......
Crap, alright, its like I am back in the Army again.
I wasn't talking about push-ups you bad, bad man. WsssssssssCRACK!
Peewee likes to grill his nut huggers before he wears them for that wholesome smokey smell.
Reminds me of the holidays!
In all seriousness, the most wild I ever got with a grill was porterhouse steaks with A1 blackpeppercorn. Think I'll do that this weekend. Sounds like MT has gotten the wildest with mountainlion. What was that like MT?
Mountain lion is essentially lean pork, looks the same as a pork chop raw, and cooks up white like a pork chop. When i was outfitting and running my big game hound pack, I had a constant supply of it, as 90% of my clients couldn't get over the "eating cat" mental deal, even though it is awesome meat. Kind of a curious fact, you aren't required to keep and eat lion meat, but you are required to keep and eat bear meat, the latter I find not very good at all. I ended up turning my bear from last year into slim jims, was a very old sow(19 years) that was in declining condition, was the only thing I could figure out to make it edible.
Never had Mountain Lion but it sounds good. Bear is a tough one literally and I wasn't too crazy about it when I had it. Way back when I can remember going to a wild game feed with my Dad at the local VFW. Kind of cool as a kid to have tried all kinds of wacky game. Curious if they even do them anymore.
They lion meat is nice and tender, unlike the bear. My all time favorite lion dish was to put a layer of very wet stuffing in a casserole pan, then lion chopes, then another layer of stuffing. About 45 minutes at 350 in oven covered, then a few minutes under broiler to brown top layer of stuffing, and walla, moist, tender lion chops.
The only way I found to make bear tender was treat it like a beef brisket, longgggg slow cooking.
Favorite is easy, bone on rib eyes, dry aged when I can get my hands on them.
As far as wild, hmmm, I have done about every game animal at some point over the years, from grouse to elk to bear and mountain lion, but really haven't done anything "crazy wild", mostly meat, few taters and of course kabobs with various veggies.
Good morning! It's prisoner day in dialysis. Nothing like having an armed escort into the building to get your day off to a roaring start. Must run to a couple meetings. Please behave yourselves!
Too late for that. Ha! Don't work too hard, Kweeny!
Morning all! Just stopping in before I head off to take some exams. Hope everyone has a great day!
@Truth – Glad Mrs Truth is back home safe and sound!
@RH – Glad the sinus infection is all cleared up. I have found that flushing your sinuses, while gross, is a great way to help the process along.
@Jerv – Flush your sinuses. It feels soooo much better when you have a sinus infection.
@AleeD – Ignore those stupid trolls and remember that we always have your back! (Even though you probably don't need it:)
@Sir Biddle the Great – I was in a funk the other day at work so I started a new project....the worlds largest paperclip ball! Not as simple as it sounds...
Thank You kind Sir,just one question...Which side of my head should I put the flush handle?
Support is always welcome – black patent bustiers or otherwise. ;)
Ditto! Cheers to the Chumarinos!
(FYI – don't forget to spell t with an "H".)
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated to be my llittle exam taking beotch.
What choo talkin' 'bout Biddle? Did the Queen have a bad case of gas yesterday?
We had a reappearance from an old visitor on Tuesday under a different name. An educated and sneak troll he is, but a troublemaker nonetheless.
I shall check out the thread. How's things in DC?
Things are good here in DC. Kind of in a funk at work, but what can you do. Taking tomorrow off and trying to get some stuff around the house done. Tough to do everything on the weekend with sharing the Lil' Biddle duties.
You going to be grilling this weekend?
Roger that on the grilling. WD deserves a very nice Tbone steak this weekend. Don't fall off the ladder this weekend–there's been enough carnage around here this week.
No ladders tomorrow, more about cleaning up the back patio and getting the table and chairs cleaned up. I grilled last night and now have the summer grilling bug in full force. Just did BBQ chicken and some thick tomato slices with parmesan. cheese, but when I came in and had the smokey smell on my shirt, the wheels started rolling as to thinking of things to grill. Ever done homemade pizza on the grill?
I have two rules about my grill...There will Never be any type of fish grilled on it,and unless it's in a pan of some sort,no exotic grilling allowed. Check out The BBQ Bible on the internets and he has a very good recipe for grilled pizza.
Why no fish on the grill. Because you don't like it or just don't want it funking up your grill?
Both–plus the last time it happened WD was dragging out the waders and the rods and reels.
Morning Crew!
Welcome back to the Bride, Truth. I'm, sure you're glad she is home.
RH – We pulled out the bloodhounds yesterday and sniffed us out a vaporous smell.
What delineates a troll from a non-troll?
1. You forgot to change your Depends and are leaking all over our nice carpet.
2. Unless you have been invited in..Wipe your ass,your shoes,and leave the Porch..Thank You.
Trolls, by very definition are best left like the puss filled, infected growth that they so clearly resemble, until such time as a proper lancing and disinfectation can be performed.
@Richardhead – Well, Dick, I didn't ask you this question – but since you have swung your helmet head in this direction I see that according to your response, it is the non troll (you) that makes unprovoked personal attacks Interesting switch up, eh?
Invitation..Invitation? INVITATION?!! We don't need no stink'n invitations.
That's Mr. Dick to you Numnuts. If you would be a NICE person,I am sure alot of us would welcome you into the Lounge. Yet,You always TRY to find fault with anything posted on this Blog,continue to find fault with two people that have brought together a very nice collection of people that care about each other and their passion for food. Since you have a yearlong case of PMS,please leave.
I see that we have immediate seating i the STFU cafe. Alas, there is a total capacity of one, which is to say, you shall be able to enjoy the company of all of your friends.
Good morning!
Morning AleeD. If you and anyone else up this morning have a chance, you really should go to "Can't contain-yer excitement – it's gardening time!" thread and read SirBs cork sniffing question.
I read it yesterday and I wouldn't have passed the test either. Don't give away the farm explaining it to me 'cuz I don't want to spoil anything. :) I'll catch up eventually. :)
Apparently the coffee just kicked in (from yesterday, too). I got it now.
Oh, by the way, the corn syrup in dressing. I found out that if I use those dressings larded down with corn syrup that it completely bloats the hell out of me, not to mention negates any good health a/effects for eating greens and veggies.
I figured it was something like that.
Either that or you were trying to stir up a corn-syrup-is-bad-for-you militant vegan-like hornets' nest. LOL!
Good morning guys!
Bride made it home and is home likely sleeping for the next three days. The trip always drops her out of commission for a few. uneventful trip back though with no lost luggage or patience. Always a good thing.
Rain in the MHC today. Lots and lots of rain. We need it though.
Good Morning Brother. I am picturing a slow motion run down the concourse as you run toward the Bride. Glad she made it home safely.
Truth, so glad Miss Saigon is back safe and sound. We'll be getting rain in the good state of VA this weekend.
Congratulations on getting your lovely bride back! Did she like the Bob Villa job you did on the house?
Good Morning everyone. Welcome home Mrs.Truth-I hope you had a fun trip. Chicory coffee for your enjoyment this morning,as I stopped in New Orleans last night to visit the Voodoo Priestess. She dangled a chicken butt over my forehead,said a little Hoodoo Voodoo chants and my sinuses immediately cleared up.I gave her an extra tip for not using a doll and stick pins. The Best part is...It's raining in Katy Texas-Finally.
Hey hows it going this fine day, RicH? I gotta see this Voodoo Priestess and have some chicken butts dangled over my head as well. At this point I'll try anything to get rid of this sinus infection.
Morning Lil' Buddy..The only thing that troubled me about the Voodoo Priestess was that she was wearing gloves when dangling the chicken butt over my head. There was no toilet paper in sight tho,just in case. Wonder if that is a health code violation. Anyway it worked and I no longer look like a chipmonk. How you feeling my friend?
I half thought that you were joking around but you are serious? You really saw the Voodoo lady? I just ate some Claritin so I should dry up in about a hour or so. Feelin' lucky so I'm going to get me a lotto ticket.
I'm just kiddin' with ya my friend. Somewhere around New Orleans tho,it finally broke lose and WD bacame a Kleenex runner. She is a Good Girl.
Hahaha! Got me! WD is a good girl. My doggie likes to use me as a kleenex. She's always snottin' on me.
