Who made you queen smart aleck these days?

You know, when guzzling honey, you get bees. Just a fact.

Please check out the disclaimer in my siggie.

Is it Friday yet??

 

[lllovell]

You know, the problem with drinking bees is that their little wings can get stuck in your teeth.

Ok - I need a techno geek to come and hook up my new printer. I could do it, but I am all achy today and don't want to *pout* (and me not wanting to hook up my new toys is actaully a indication that the pains I am having are PRETTY intense. *sigh*)

Friday oh Friday, are you mocking us???

 

[wtpclc]

Laura - Feel free to pout. That sounds bad. If oyu had my luck, you'd go through the effort of hooking it up and it'd be broken. Let's hope you (or your techie geek) have better luck.

that is ALWAYS a possibility! I will get it hooked up soon (unfortunately - I am considered the techno geek here in the office, so its kinda like waiting for the laundry fairy....I can wait - but that dang woman never shows up! lol)

Those things are so easy these days, though. If the plug doesn't fit, you're in teh wrong hole. Can't you just supervise a peon for that?

LOL!!! I think I AM the peon!!! (one of the girls next door has offered to do the climbing under the desk ) The trouble with small companies is that there aren't peons around....I could use an official back/hip massager today.... wonder if I can slide that into next year's budget.

Although spork is indeed a fun word to say (let alone shout in public), I am afraid I am unable to accept suggestions. Each Word-To-Shout-In-Public-For-No-Apparent-Reason is carefully selected through a transcendental process. This process opens the portals of the imagination, freeing my analytical, structured psyche from it's man-made boundaries. Only at the end of this journey does the word reveal itself to me in all it's awe and splendor, usually at the bottom of the 4th or 5th Yuengling bottle.

So, what you're saying is that you usually need one little spark of inspiration... And a few bottles of Yuengling helps you take a journey into your imagination?

Imagine a Toon that has been out of touch for a few days and starts by reading at the end of the thread and seeing this remark! Fortunately, I put my eyes back in and arrive at the truth.

By the way, some mystical force overcame me just yesterday and I drove to my local grocery store in search of Yuengling. They had 52 different types of Budweiser (Regular, Light, Draft, can, bottle, 6 pack, 12 pack, 24 pack, Low Carb, Low Flavor, No Flavor...), 37 types of Miller Beer, Dixie Beer, Heinekin, Bechs, Guiness (give them credit for that!), Bass, Rolling Rock, Sam Adams, but NO YUENGLING! Excuse me, but this is AMERICA!
The land of life, liberty, and the pursuit of Yuengling!
Give me Yuengling, or give me death!
I have not yet begun to Yuengling!
Four score, and seven beers ago,
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask where you can buy Yuengling. I have a dream.
That's one small step for man, one giant step for Yuengling.
I hope we never lose site of one thing. It was all started by a mouse. (Hey, I can't misquote Walt, but Yuengling is important too!).

IGLOO by æ

If I had a truckload of Yuengling
I know what I would do.
I'd want it icy cold,
So I'd build a big igloo.
I'd drink it when I'm sober,
My freinds could all join in.
We'd run out by October,
Oh well, please pass the gin!

 

[lllovell]

LMBO!!! Sorry Tooneric!

My comments were actually totally 100% innocent this time and yet... LOL!!!

Good thing you weren't drinking a Yuengling or you would have spilled some of that precious liquid of life.

(btw Lefty - I have had the Figment song in my head all day now aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

wow - a spork song and a igloo song all in one day...we are getting so musical. (btw - toon ...if that wasn't a song you wrote, since I know you are best known for your bad poetry, blame gopherit! She has had me singing everything today after reading her HHI trip report! )

 

[idratherbeinwdw]

Woohoo the BP strikes again, another winner! BTW forgot to mention how good the BCV one was Tooneric, definitely will be nominated for the Nobel Prize for Poetry.

Now the bad lyricist has to get crackin', the Bad Poet is waaaay ahead.
Being in the city today at the seminar I posted about earlier, is to blame--how dare they want me to actually work at work, don't they know it cuts into my DIS board time? Tomorrow it's back to Manhattan, this time to teach a class. Then the rest of the week I'm back in my office on Long Island and I'll be able to join you all a little more often.

See ya soon!

 

[Tooneric]

Hi Mar'! It's good to see you!

I guess I'll never be known as æ. I guess I'm going to have to give in and become the Bad Poet again. I guess that makes me the Bad Poet formerly known as the Bad Poet formerly known as Tooneric. Hmmm, maybe I'll stick with æ.

I'm on my way out to a happy little town today, so I'll be away from the boards, but good to get a laugh in before I go.

Toon - We'd gladly call you by that ae symbol if you shared with us how to make it!

 

[lllovell]

WORK!!!! <----my best Maynard G. Krebs voice

I guess if no one is gonna be around to play much today, maybe I will try to clean out the old inbox. (how come we work harder now that we have computers???)

Hey - at least its not Monday anymore!

*ploping myself against the side of the Igloo* too hot (nuts - I think they turned off HTML in the posts as well as the siggys...can't make my smilies work )

Copying and pasting works.

Copying and pasting works.

æ --- hey - lookie there....it does work

 

[jnrrt]

Hey æ,

Just wondered, are you making a phonetic statement? Did you know in the International Phonetic Alphabet, used by broadcasters and singers to notate sound (yes, that geek would be me), "æ" is the sound for the vowel in "have" or "bat", and is considered by many singers to be the ugliest vowel sound we have to sing in any language, except for perhaps the French nazalized oe?

Just wondered if there was more to this than you were telling us. An international phonetic conspiracy? Anyway, everytime I read it, I hear someone shouting "æ"! at me.

Hey Rash! Maybe instead of a word, you could just pick one single sound, and have us all scream it in public. Although this particular one just sounds like ye old primal scream, not not very out of the ordinary, especially if done on a Monday.

 

[wtpclc]

æ

Yup. That worked. I actually thought about it just after I hit submit, but I was pushing it by being here while in teh corporate dungeon. So.....

æ - A while back you said your friends could still call you Toon, though. HAve we offended you and, therefore, been excluded from calling you Toon anymore?

I got a joke from dh today. I'll make the big decision tomorrow as to whether or not it's post-able. If not you may have to pm me for it, because this group will laugh (or at least groan loudly). Night Night all! Sleep tight. DOn't let the bed bugs bite!

(Can I just tell you how cute it was to have my 6 Yo dneph tell me the same thing my mommy used to say?)

A retired DVC member decided to take a vacation. Because friends and family always ride him about only going to WDW, he booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have a great time ...until the boat sank! He found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts.

After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day, when the most gorgeous blond woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief, he asks her, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?"

She replies, "I rowed from the other side of the island. I landed here when my cruise ship sank."

"Amazing," he says. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you."

"Oh, this?" replies the woman. "I made the boat out of raw material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove the bottom from palm branch and the sides and stern came from a Eucalyptus tree."

"But, where did you get the tools?"

"Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. "On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into forgeable,ductile iron.
I used that for tools and used the tools to make the hardware."

The guy is stunned.

"Let's row over to my place," she says. After a few hours of rowing, she docks the boat at a small wharf. As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls out off the boat. Before him is a stone walk leading to an exquisite bungalow painted in blue and white. While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck.

As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much, but I call it home sit down, please. Would you like a drink?"

"No. No, thank you," he says, still dazed. "Can't take any more coconut juice."

"It's not coconut juice," the woman replies. "I have a still. How about a Pina Colada?"

Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk. After they have exchanged their stories, the woman asks, "Would you like to take a shower and shave? There is a razor upstairs in the bathroom cabinet."

No longer questioning anything, the man goes into the bathroom.
There, in the cabinet, is a razor made from a bone handle. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism.

"This woman is amazing," he muses. "What next?"

When he returns, she greets him "Tell me," she begins "We've been out here for a really long time. You've been lonely. There's something I'm sure you really feel like doing right now. "

He can't believe what he's hearing. He swallows excitedly, tears start to form in his eyes, and says, "You mean...I can check the DIS boards from here?"

 

[lllovell]

I laughed and I am not sure if its because I am embarrassed to say this is one of my first stops everyday or just because I KNOW that I can't be the only one with this DIS board addiction

Carrie, has your replacement toy shown up yet? I finally got my printer hooked up yesterday so now I really look strange - two printers hooked up and sitting side by side on my desk. (one is an all in one....I was just going to use it for a fax but within 20 minutes of me unhooking it, someone already was wanting me to scan something so I guess it stays lol). After I was finished (with the help of my lovely assistant who graciously crawled under my desk and hooked up things), I was told it was the cleanest they have ever seen my desk I just gave them the raised one eyebrow look ---- just wait until I have been on maternity leave for a few weeks. HA!

*mumble mumble* messy desk...sheeesh...

Ok - only gained 2 pounds in the last month - whoop whoop - so back to the ice cream for me!!! yeah!!! (ok - been drinking hot chocolate....hubby rolls his eyes at me - but hey - its calcium right? )





Anyone else?

 

[wtpclc]

Laura - My replacement toy is due to arrive today. Of course, I have dinner witha friend after work, then I have to run (not a good combination), then I have to do form work. I am hoping I can get teh 3 letters I need to finish a layout done, though. I am also trying not to get too excited as I have a bad feeling that they did not send a new blade. We'll see. After the devastation of alst Friday, I really don't want to get crushed again.
