The Mad Chatters thread Part 17

[Squidrific]

Hi all my favorite hags and Rob! I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas. It has been such a pleasure getting to know you all. I would like to say that like Rob - I saw National Treasures 2 and loved it! I think it was even better than the first one.

Thanks Rob! It is much easier to see this way.
Did you notice the Mickey Santa hat on the mantle???
Hope you had a great Christmas!


Hi Bonnie!
Don't be too mean to those darling little princesses!


And just where are the rest of you chattery hags????
Having fun without me I guess... while I slave away at work.

Hope you come around to chat soon.

Hello Chatters!!

Sounds like you all had a nice Christmas!! Love all the pictures!! I took some too, just need to upload them.

I was able to move my neck a day or two before, thankfully! It's still sore, but not nearly as bad.

We had company on the 23rd and 24th, did brunch on Christmas and gifts then went to the beach! It was a beautiful sunset. I was sad I forgot to take my camera.

I got a GPS for my car, the one with the AAA tour book on it!! Some Beautiful perfume, a bottle of my favorite red wine, a Lolita martini glass, Disney dollars, car cell phone charger and a few other small items, I did well
Oh and Crystina made us a collage of our Alaska trip and a photo album, which was very creative and a thoughtful gift from her.

Rob, I would love that arcade game, lucky kids!!

Well, things don't slow down for us yet. I have to work the next few days, drive to Maimi to work the last pathetic Dolphin game, the work the Orange Bowl on the 3rd, which should be fun. My parents will be coming down from CT to spend NYE with us in Miaimi.
Then we go to Disney on the 4th to be with Kevin's family, staying at Bonnet Creek for a few days.
So, that's it for us.

Evening chatters!

Merry Christmas, Chatters! Santa was here and left Drew a bunch of fun loot. It was a LONNNNNNNNNG night as he kept waking up asking if it was time yet!

We're chilling for the morning and will head to my aunt's later today. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

We didn't have that issue but three of my boys were up before 6 and got the last boy and DW and I up around 5:45 (guess they figured they waited long enough).

Maybe if you turned the heat up?

Merry Christmas Chatters!!! Hope y'all had a great day! From what I've seen so far, it sounds like it! Sorry I've been MIA. No computer-- BIL is using it. Hope to get on later to post pics etc... but I have to go now. Burning the crap out of dinner!

You've got a lot to learn about ignoring your real life family for your DIS buddies!

Rob...the video game is AWESOME! How did your family like it??? Bet you all are fighting over who gets to play it!

They liked it. They still seem to prefer their PS3 and PC games and such more but they will play with it. Today, they had one of their neighborhood buddies over and they all mostly played with the arcade machine. I do have one gripe about it: when you turn the machine off, all of the high scores are reset (which, actually, is how the real arcade machines worked back around 1980).

[Rella Bella]

OMG!!!

WHERE THE HECK ARE ALL YOU HAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread is pathetic! PATHETIC!!

You're all acting like you have real lives or something.

How can you just leave me here all alone with Rob!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thank God I caught a few of you on MSN last night or I'd be thinking you'd vacated the earth!!

Ah well, my dear Hag-Os...
I hope you have a good Thursday...
and I hope I see you before Friday!!!!





Ummmm, Hi Rob... no offense, honest.

 

[Toot Sweet]

Howdy doody, Chatters!!

Happy Thursday! My condolences to those who have to work this week. I am enjoying the week off!

Trisha and Squid, Im sorry I missed you on MSN ealier, I was at the movies with Shannon!! Alvin and the Chipmunks was really cute! We all liked it! Even Heather, who in the beginning refused to see it, but then changed her mind cause she didn't want to stay home all day. I gotta quit leaving MSN on.

 

[LBelle]

Rella!!!

Has Santa made it to your house yet? He just finished up here. Here's a sneak preview before the kids have even seen (and destroyed, um, played with) it yet:

Everything on the floor in front of the fireplace (not the Snoopy's -- they are decoration) -- from left to right, DS6, DS9, DS12, and DS15

It will be interesting to see if we get any complaints because this year, for the first time ever, Santa split his delivery into two locations in our home. The big item is actually downstairs almost directly below the pic above:

Notice the Woody hand-painted on the wall.

Notice the Buzz Lightyear hand-painted on the wall.

-- Rob

Notice the cool pinball machine in the background!!!

Party at Rob's! Party at Rob's!!!

I just got this as an email...It had me ROLLING!!

Chili Cook-Off...... ​

This is an actual account as relayed to paramedics at a chili
cook-off in Texas.


Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you
pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction
of the third judge is even better. For those of you
who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is.
They actually have a Chili Cook-off about the time
Halloween comes around. It takes up a major portion
of a parking lot at the San Antonio City Park.


Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili taster named
Frank, who was visiting from Springfield, IL.
Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a
judge at a chili cook-off. The original person
called in sick at the last moment and I happened to
be standing there at the judge's table, asking for
directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call
came in. I was assured by the other two judges
(Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that
spicy; and, besides, they told me I could have free
beer during the tasting, so I accepted and became
Judge 3."


Here are the scorecard notes from the event:
CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI

Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato.
Amusing kick.
Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy crap, what the hell is
this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway.
Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst
one. These Texans are crazy.

CHILI # 2 - AUSTIN'S AFTERBURNER CHILI

Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight
jalapeno tang.
Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers
to be taken seriously.
Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides
pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to
give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in
more beer when they saw the look on my face.

CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI

Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium
spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting
Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me
more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the
back, now my backbone is in the front part of my
chest. I'm getting ****-faced from all of the beer.

CHILI # 4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC

Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice.
Disappointing.
Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good
side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of
a chili.
Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my
tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to
burn out taste buds? Sally, the beer maid, was standing
behind me with fresh refills. This 300 lb. woman is starting to
look HOT ... just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili
an aphrodisiac?

CHILI # 5 - LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER

Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers
freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very
impressive.
Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use
more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a
strong statement.
Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring
off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted,
and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant
seemed offended when I told her that her chili had
given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from
bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the
pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It
really ticks me off that the other judges asked me
to stop screaming. Screw them.

CHILI # 6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY
Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili.
Good balance of spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of
peppers, onions, garlic. Superb.
Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe
filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I crapped on myself
when I farted, and I'm worried it will eat through the chair.
No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that
Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my
butt with a snow cone.

CHILI # 7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI

Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance
on canned peppers.
Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally
threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment.
**I should take note that I am worried about Judge #
3. He appears to be a bit of distress as he is
cursing uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth,
pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've
lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it
is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with
chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My
pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least
during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me.
I've decided to stop breathing it's too painful.
Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I
need air, I'll just suck it in through the
4-inch hole in my stomach.

CHILI # 8 - BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI

Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice
blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to
declare its existence.
Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced
chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most
of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out,
fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of
himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor
feller, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot
chili?
Judge # 3 - No Report

Good afternoon to all.

I have been puking my brains out all night long. So bad, in fact, that I probably don't even need to do any crunches today cuz my belly has had quite a workout!!!!

Think I ate something that didn't agree with me. Could it have been:

A) the delicious turkey on Xmas Eve
B) the so-so Lamb
or
C) the DISGUSTING Rabbit!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm........golly.....tough one.....

Going back to bed now. Be back later on.

Buh Bye!!!

 

[Toot Sweet]

Yankee candle is having a buy one get one free sale!! Most are holiday scents, but hey, who cares?


I ordered a buttload of stuff. Even with the buy one get one free, my total still came to over $90! So that's like $180 worth of stuff, not too shabby. Most was stuff DH picked out. He likes that place as much as I do!

 

[Rella Bella]

I'm still reveling in the delightful "Sugar Cookie"
that my friend Shannon blessed me with at Christmas!
Ooooo it's so wonderful! Yum!

I love the Chilli story! Very funny.

Glad you're having a good day friend!

 

[luvmyboys]

Hellllllo Wankers!

Lisa- Sorry you're not feeling well! If that doesn't put you off of rabbit for a long.... well, FOREVER, I don't know what will! Get better soon lady!


Had a great time with Bon & the girls today! Only downside was running into ex-sister in law. AWK-WAAARD! Haven't seen her in the 2 years since she ran around on BIL while he was busy serving our country in Afghanistan!!! Nice chick.

Anywho, hope those of you still on vacation are having a good time! For those of you back to work... sucks to be you! (really, hope going back was as painless as possible!)

Later!

Or D) the massive quantities of alcohol Lisa consumed prior to stumbling out the door and passing out in the snow for hours with Jeff's underwear on her head.

Just kidding Darling. I hope you get to feeling better soonest.

That's LBelle for you.... she only shows up for a party!

Well... if that's what it takes to get you out of the woodwork arty:

Howdy, Chatters! My week off is almost over!

I had to get up stinkin' EARLY this morning, so's I could take DH to meet his car pool. So I went grocery shopping and got all stocked up with all kinds of meats and cheeses cause I am starting Atkins today.

Did ya hear that Trisha? I've already started, hag! I am eating my scrambled eggs, sausage and cheese as I'm typing. DH says he will do it with me.


Where has Squiddy been? I think I may need to have words with that chick... she is a fair-weather Squid, now isn't she?


Lisa, how are you feeling today? Any improvement?

Rella, how many more days, lady? Do you know?

Shannon, are you finished packing yet? All set for your trip?

Steph, I hope you are having fun in 'Bama!

Rob, how's it going?

Jay, any updates, my friend?

Cheryl, how is your neck feeling?
