The DIS-Functional WonderPeeps are Triple-Dippin' Castaway Cay! 7/20 & 7/24, 2008

[Soccermom-Cheri]

I'm with you Katie. Unless I have the kids - then the crowds make my teeth itch. (BTW - kudos to DS for making it thru the mass reading!)

So, oph, what'd ya buy?

**********
OK, I swear this was in the local paper: a man in Portland OR confessed to the local ABC news team that he in deed did put his pet rattlesnake into his mouth while he was drinking. Apparantly, he didn't think anything would happen if he only put the head in*. His airway nearly closed from the numerous bites.

Question #1: who has a PET rattlesnake?
Question #2: how much does one have to drink in order to feel invincable enough to put a snake head in ones mouth?
Question #3: is there really nothing else going on the world so that the paper had to print this?


* "put the head in" yeah, I know - that is so open!

K - Annie? You DO get the prize, but that was TMI for me anyway. Just hearing about it makes me want to .... ok, that's getting into TMI territory too Anyway, glad you are feeling before you have to go act perky AND eat with Daryl's family.

I'd ask where oph and GSD are, but I'm thinkin' they are on a couch in front of the tube watching 2 undefeated teams duke it out. Good luck to all in this week's pool. (My $'s on RJ)

Sorry guys. I am such a lightweight...but I am feeling much better now. I didn't do squat today tho. Such a schlump I was!

Redskins won ('tho barely) and then we went out for the crabs - the were delicious! First thing I'd eaten all day...I decided to pass on the beer & just had iced tea. Came about 15' away from hitting another deer on the way over there! The deer population is INSANE here and the "season" is just starting! CamColt - your guys CREAMED us last weekend so I'm not surprised they came out on top of the Colts today! Good job!

Cheri: Do we ever get the answers to the Who Da Peeps matching game??

...and btw, I need to know what "Barbara" is into these days. Xmas shopping to be done ya know

Mornin'

 

[tinkryansmom]

Hello all you people out there!

Enough of this Christmas shopping talk! Unless y'all bought me something splendid and then chat away... Seriously need to make a list to see just what I still need to go out and find.

The mystery fever has indeed landed here. So yippee - I am not doing anything interesting today. Guess I should take this opprotunity to do the laundry.

According to DH's conditional excel football spreadsheet - the DIS'ers have claimed the top positions after yesterdays games. All I have to say is GO STEELERS!! And go big - please. We need more than 35 points to overtake TZM. Beano I think is a lock for 1st. Nice.

Alright going to make coffee now that the contacts are in and I can actually see. As my friend Martha would say, "It's a good thing".

 

[BeanoC]

Beano I think is a lock for 1st. Nice

Nope. Only if Pittsburgh loses! But, TZM will win if Pitt. wins, so it's all good.

 

[tinkryansmom]

OK unless the text file did not convert to excel correctly - the excel sheet says - with a Pittsburg win Beano wins with 88 and Tim and I tie for second with 87 and Shawn M. will finish with 86. If Pitt loses Beano still wins, Scott Carlson finishes second and Tim finishes third. I fortunately fall to 5th.

So I say: GO STEELERS!

'course last time I needed Black and Yellow to win...they didn't...so I won't say that out loud here in case I might jinx myself...

I think that Neil needs to work on that spreadsheet a bit more. If Pitt wins, I will have only lost 14 points to Beano's 15.

Hypothetical:
TZM - 91
BEANO - 90 (Beano would win on TB since his weekly W/L is better)
SHAWN M. - 90
TINKRYANSMOM - 88
RJ - 86

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

As requested, MATCH THE PEEPS quiz answers. I hope everyone was at least able to figure out who they, themselves, were...

BEANO – KAZOO (plays the kazoo in the church choir)

SUE ELLEN – COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL (gave up punk rock and canasta. She started Susie’s One Stop Hair and Pasta Shop)

ANNIE – CARRIE NATION (the prohibitionist, remember? A picture of The Captain would have been too obvious)

RONNIE JO – EAGLE TATTOO (Beano exchanged their cat.1 for a cat.12 and she used the savings to get a tattoo of an eagle across her chest, and a tongue piercing)

SEAN – EXOTIC DANCER (He gave up macrame’ and took over for Linda)

TIM – HARE KRISHNAS (Stress of those 3 kids & being a shoe salesman drove GSD to join the cult)

So, oph, what'd ya buy?

Just a couple of ornaments for the nieces & nephew. We put the shopping on pause b/c we're not sure how much present-buying we're actually doing. We really need to watch the $. We're doing a lot of traveling in the next 2 months.

 

[ophie]

In honor of our upcoming trip to CA... this is my wallpaper.

[ophie]

TZM says he can't see the picture on the other computer... hmm...


Wait...

[Anal Annie]

Hi Ophie - I can't see anything except a red X!! (waaaa)

Cheri - I didn't know who Carrie Nation was so I had shown DH the website & he had pegged me for her tho! He was like - that HAS TO BE YOU! I was like OK if you say so! My education has some holes in it! OOOPS! (Hummm...we are over our Sangria affliction - tonites beverage is Pinot Grigio by Fish Eye...but I think I liked the Angel Juice Pinot Grigio a little better... I'm really thinking a 3 liter box will travel quite nicely next summer!

TRM - sorry to hear about the mystery fever hitting your house - hope you & Baby Linden don't get it too!!!!! Lysol wipes, Lysol wipes, Lysol wipes - get the 2 for one pack at Target!!

Can't comment on the football stuff...not my thang!

GO Beano! Enter the contest!

OK - I did not say the excel spreadsheet was infallible. But Neil will be devastated. And how come I have to finish outside the top 3 in your scenario? Me no likey your reality and choose to use Neil's.

Annie - I did just pick up Lysol wipes Darn germie kids.

OK dinner is ready - I must go now.

 

[tinkryansmom]

Mystery solved. The spreadsheet formulas are correct - it's just that Neils spelling is bad. Excel did not calculate point totals for the BUR team. Since it is really BUF.

Silly Neil. We stand corrected.

4th place for us. But in fine, fine company.

Congrats TZM. Ok - I have not been watching the game but based on the halftime score I figure I am safe to congratulate you a bit early.

Jockey is having a contest..they want video of you dancing in your undies..shirts are acceptable, as are NON Jockey undies..I think the dancing in Rockin Bar would SOOO win!!

Morning!! 68 here this morning...Wish I was sitting on my patio with coffee and a book rather than trying to run these jobs with my super and Proj Manager MIA!!!!

*sigh* looks like a long day!

 

[RonnieJo66]

Why is it that I am so stressed out over getting DS's college apps in...um, and he is not! "It'll be fine" he sez. Does he not realize that it's my job to nag him all the time to get it done!
