Coffee and doughnuts are now being served in the Grotto parking lot.

[Aristus]

:donut:

I'm baby-sitting my three-year-old grandson this morning, so in addition to the finest medium roast Mocha Java, maple bars and cream horns, we have chocolate milk, Go-Gurt, and juice-boxes! Help yourself!

[xJlM]

1. What kind of donuts?

I like whole wheat, but I can't handle those with all the fudge or creme filling :)

[Aristus]

4. Well, I've got maple bars and cream horns.

Ever had a cream horn? Yummmmm!

[GOPisEvil]

2. Got any Danish?

I've been thinking that it's been too long since I've had a really good fresh fruit Danish. :9

This would have been the perfect day to stay in bed, but alas, I am at the office, intermittently posting here and getting work done. I wish I could just chuck it all some days - this is one of them.

At least it's Friday. :-)

[VelmaD]

5. Totally agree...

it was so hard to get out from under the blankets today and face the world. (Was up kinda late decompressing after the Austin City Council meeting.)

This would be a perfect day for sleeping in and then curling up in flannel pjs and reading a good book. Something trashy. :-)

[Aristus]

6. Think I can rustle some up for ya, GOP, ole buddy.

Take your pick, apple, cherry, or cream cheese?

[GOPisEvil]

9. Blueberry/Cream Cheese!

Oh and VD, I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the City Council meeting. Worked late - again. :-(

We won, and learned that Will Wynn is a weasel. :-)

[VelmaD]

11. Yup...

but we already knew Will Wynn was a weasel. :-)

Hey, the ACLU chickie you like was there.

[GOPisEvil]

13. Did you tell her I was having naughty thoughts about her?

;-)

[VelmaD]

15. Nope...

I figured discretion was the better part of valaour. (Plus I'm scared of the highly classified blackmail material you have on me.) :-)

[Aristus]

17. I'd always heard that cowardice is the better part of

discretion. C'mon, Vel. Talk GOP up to her! :D

[VelmaD]

19. I don't the the woman...

and I just felt a little weird about walking up to a complete stranger and saying, "hey, I know this guy who really likes you". Seems a little junior high to me too.

[Aristus]

21. Ah well,

the course of true love, blah, blah, blah.

[GOPisEvil]

23. I hereby give you permission to talk me up!

Go to town! :-)

Blackmail material? Whatever do you mean? ;-)

[VelmaD]

25. Woohoo...a blanket permission

Wonder what entertaining lies I can think up to sell this woman on you.

Yeah, Dave, he speaks 7 languages, is close personal friends with the Dalai Lama and Dweezil Zappa, spent a year living in the African veldt helping UNICEF innoculate children, won an olympic bronze medal in luge. Anything else you'd like her to know? ;-)

re blackmail: As long as you say nothing, I'm saying nothing.

[GOPisEvil]

26. The more entertaining the better!

Oh yeah, while I was visiting the Dalai Lama, I climbed Everest. In my shorts.

:-)

[Aristus]

27. You made him an Olympic luge-er and the best you could come up with

was bronze? Come on! NOBODY remembers the gold medal winner of the luge! Give it a try!

[VelmaD]

28. I thought everybody knew...

Georg Hackel had won the luge for like 3 or 4 olympics in a row before 2002. *shrug*

Plus, he's an American. No one would believe he won the gold anyway.

[GOPisEvil]

29. Which Olympics?

Calgary in '88?
Albertville in '92?
Lillehammer in '94?
Nagano in '98?
Salt Lake City in '02?

:shrug: I need to know, so I don't get caught TOO off guard!

[VelmaD]

33. Albertville '92

Long enough ago that no one remembers it but still puts you in the appropriate age range.

Would you prefer it to have been singles or doubles luge?

[GOPisEvil]

34. Singles, please...

...double luge is a little homo-erotic in my humble little mind. However, this is to impress a woman, and I'd rather leave nothing to chance. ;-)

[VelmaD]

36. Unlike me...

she might not be the type to appreciate the homo-eroticism of a couple of guys in tight spandex laying on each other. ;-)

[GOPisEvil]

37. Correct.

I have no issues with the sport, or the nature of the sport, but it never hurts to have the bases covered.

[VelmaD]

38. BTW...

you have excellent taste...the ACLU chickie is lovely.

[GOPisEvil]

39. We're talking about the same one, right?

Tall-ish, dark hair, thin, geek glasses? Worked the microphone for the questions at the town hall meeting?

:loveya: Be still my heart (and other things).

[VelmaD]

40. I'm pretty sure we are

Sorry for my lack of attention to detail, the ACLU chickie wasn't the person I was paying attention to that night. ;-)

[GOPisEvil]

41. Heh heh...gotcha...

;-)

Lunch time! See y'all later!

[Aristus]

42. She sounds lovely, GOP.

Man, glasses are sexy! I can't remember when I came to that conclusion, but it's been a while. On the rare occasions when my wife wears her glasses, I just wanna jump on her and do really nasty things! :D

[Aristus]

30. Okay, Vel. Fess up. You've got an Almanac by your computer, right?

And me, I've got egg on my face. ;-)

Lemme go wash it off.

[VelmaD]

31. No, I'm just a sports nut...

and I adore the weird sports that you only ever see in the Olympics. I am a huge luge fan. And Georg Hackel was THE MAN.

[Aristus]

Kewl, GOP has the hots for an ACLU babe, huh?

I always picture them as being really uninhibited.......really, REALLY uninhibited! :evilgrin: You GO, GOP!

[VelmaD]

3. Ok, ok. I'm here with the keys

Everybody into the hot tub. I'm sure we've got some water-wings around here somewhere for the little one.

Mmm...forbidden donut. *smooches* Thanks honey. :-)

Edited for spelling. Are you happy now short bus? Sheesh

[Aristus]

7. *wipes off cheek and taps foot impatiently*

Vel? We need to talk.

Just who is running things in the Grotto right now? You? sbp? We gotta get coordinated here!

*relents, and returns cheek kiss*

I'm just givin' you a hard time, sweetie. :-)

Good Morning, everybody!

[TrogL]

53. Somebody call a staff meeting

Who was on last night? We never opened. I thought it was my night off.

I paid the power bill (ouch!! must every light in the place be on all night?) and the phone bill (who was dialing all those 1-900 numbers???) and the gas bill (I swear I'm converting the hot tub heaters to coal) and the cable bill (is it absolutely necessary to have subscriptions to EVERY porn channel?) and the insurance (why are we insured for the Apocalypse?) and Purolator (who ordered hand-made condoms from Botswana??) and UPS (yak feed??? there's a yak here??) and the bottled water people (why? nobody drinks water here - or is somebody dumping it in the pool?) and I think the health inspector's got the hots for me.

[VelmaD]

57. Ok, I'll take those in order

Yes, we like to do it with the lights on.

Uh, what 900 numbers? *sheepish grin*

No coal, not environmentally friendly. If you want to explore solar power feel free and bring it to the next staff meeting.

Yes, we like porn. PORN ROCKS!

Because our Grotto activities are, according to Pat Robertson, actively bringing about the END TIMES.

Talk to short bus about the comdoms.

Yaks! I did NOT approve any livestock in the Grotto. Somebody better fess up or the beating will begin.

Maybe if you hit on the Culligan man he'll give us a discount.

And of course the health inspector has the hots for you after you {moderated} his {moderated}. ;-)

[short bus president]

8. Mmm.... water wongs...

you sure you don't also want some water wangs with yer donuts this AM, Deevee? ;-)

[VelmaD]

10. Butthead...

I fixed my spelling error. *grumble...stupid fingers*

Do I go around pointing out YOUR fumble fingers mistakes? I don't think so. Meanie. :P

[Aristus]

12. sbp, you made it, man!

Good. Now I can serve coffee and doughnuts and let someone else be the host. How's everybody doing?

[VelmaD]

14. I'm good...

we won last night. The Austin City Council passed the anti-PATRIOT Act resolution. Woohoo!

There were lots of interesting and entertaining folks there last night. God I love Austin. Biggest bunch of weirdos you ever saw. :-)

[Aristus]

18. Yay!

What does that make now? Something like 150 towns and cities passing resolutions against the Patriot Act? There goes the Chimps grassroots support!

Thank you , Austiiiiiiiiiiin!!!!!!!!!!

[GOPisEvil]

24. Over 170 municipalities and 3 states!

:-)

[short bus president]

16. nah - you still need to host

maybe Deevee can hostess. We're busily plotting in another thread to bring a bunch of evilDUers here after the Will Pitt show tonight. It would help if the best directions I could come up with for how to find my house were not "look for the spotted cows and turn left." Ugh.

[Padraig18]

20. A maple bar, please

And could I trouble you for a cup of tea? :)

[Aristus]

22. A maple bar for you.

And what kind of tea would you like? We have English Breakfast, Chai tea, Darjeeling, and Orange Pekoe.

[Padraig18]

32. Darjeeling, plase!

:)

[Aristus]

35. Darjeeling it is, Padraig!

:donut:

How's your morning so far?

[Padraig18]

43. My morning has been wonderful, thank you!

And how has yours been, lass? :)

[Aristus]

44. Lass?........................................LASS??????????

Check my profile. I haven't been mistaken for a girl since I went in drag to the April Fool's Day Rocky Horror Picture Show celebration! :-)

[VelmaD]

45. Hee...he thinks

you're a girl Aristus. *snort*

[Aristus]

46. SHUT UP!

Hee-hee. It is kinda funny!

[VelmaD]

48. I wanna see the pics...

of you in drag at Rocky Horror. Pretty please. *bats eyes*

[Aristus]

50. Well, my sister has them, but I'll see if I can get them transferred to

picture CD, and then upload them. May be a few days, or weeks, or......

[Padraig18]

47. Shhhhh!

I'm angling for a second maple bar! :)

[Aristus]

49. Well, yer just gonna hafta do better than that, sugar!

I don't give my maple bars to just ANYONE. ;-)

*bats eyelashes crazily*

Ah, what fun!

[Padraig18]

51. LOL

What remarkably good taste you have in clothes! That (fill in the blank) you have on is terribly flattering, especially the way it sets off your beautiful eyes. :) *looks wistfully at the maple bars*

[Aristus]

52. Keep cool, tiger! Inside this dress and this ladylike exterior, there's

a screaming, macho head-butting MALE trying to get out! Just ask Velma. She knows.

It's a MAAAAAAAAN, baby! :D

[Padraig18]

54. It's safe

I'm gay. :)

[Aristus]

55. What a shame.

I'm not. And I'm married. Oh well. It's fun talking.

More tea?

[Padraig18]

56. *hugs*

Yes, please; another cup would be lovely. :)

[Aristus]

58. You got it, buddy.

I keep thinking of Colin Hay singing:

"My, my, my it's a beautiful world
I like drinking Irish tea......."

Another cup of Darjeeling for you, sir.

[VelmaD]

61. Have I mentioned...

how much it turns me on to watch 2 guys pretend to flirt with each other. Baybee. *thud* ;-)

[Aristus]

64. Nice I could find another way to make you *thud*

But, boy, my wife would REALLY hate this one!

[VelmaD]

66. I'm telling ya...

tie her up in a corner and gag her and just let her watch. By the time we're all done I bet we'll have changed her outlook on this kind of thing. ;-) She just needs a little...persuading. :spank:

[TrogL]

65. I don't have the patience for flirting

I just pounce.

[TrogL]

59. Where do we keep the sugar?

The sugar bowl's empty.

Do yak's like sugar?

[VelmaD]

60. NO YAKS!

No livestock of any kind! Do you want to see PETA raid this place?

Find that YAk and find it a good home but GET IT OUT OF HERE!

[TrogL]

67. I found the yak

It was eating the shrubbery back of the south-east hot tub.

I gave it some of the yak food (I'd still like to know who ordered it) and it seems happy enough.

I checked the health code and yak's aren't considered livestock.

Can we keep it?

[VelmaD]

68. Is it potty-trained?

If it can't be taught not to "go" in the hottub then it's outta here.

I still wanta know who ordered a yak without asking. Gotta stop signing things the staff bring me when I'm "pre-occupied" or drunk. *sigh*

[Aristus]

62. No, it's Padraig. He likes, like, six spoonfuls of sugar in his tea!

Frickin' Irish and their sweet teeth.

Guess I'll schlep off to the pantry for more.

[Padraig18]

63. We DO have insatiable sweet teeth!

:D
