So, how's the weather where you are? :)

[KitchenWitch]

1. We had thunderstorms early this morning

Now warm and humid.

[BikeWriter]

6. It only sprinkled here, and my grass grew a foot. :-(

[KitchenWitch]

7. hard to keep up with the lawn these days isn't it

Thank heaven for 14 year old boys, and riding lawn mowers.

[BikeWriter]

10. All my boys grew up and left!

I bought an expensive Toro self-propelled mower. I need the exercise. :(

[DouglasRussel]

53. gotta buy a lawnmower today

[BikeWriter]

60. Welcome to DU, Doug...

I hope you can buy a big enough mower you don't have to work too hard. :)

[LastKnight]

2. hot, humid.

very late august like. a few weeks early.

[BikeWriter]

13. We'll probably get more of the same here in Texas.

[MrScorpio]

3. Do you like puppies?

I like puppies.

[BikeWriter]

8. I love puppies! Expecially the big clumsy doofuses...

you know will grow up to be magnificent!

[Heidi]

4. Summer is fading

and fall is visible on the horizon. I had to wear socks with my mocs this morning, if anyone cares. :shrug:

[BikeWriter]

12. It's mid-August already? Where does time go?

[Elidor]

5. My hovercraft is full of eels

[BikeWriter]

9. Oh, crap! I hate it when that happens!

:(

[Elidor]

24. If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

I am...no longer infected.

[BikeWriter]

29. Thanks for the compliment, but I like girls.

:)

[BikeWriter]

15. Is that a frequent problem with hovercrafts?

[Elidor]

23. I will not buy this record, it is scratched.

[BikeWriter]

30. I'll see if we have it on stone tablet. :-)

[DouglasRussel]

54. are they progressive eels, or freaky republican eels?

[Elidor]

95. Very few eels are progressive. Most are republican.

Some are libertarian, though how they think they can wield a gun is beyond me. However, I have no scientific polling data to back up these assertions.

[BikeWriter]

98. I was wondering if you'd include some links for that. :-)

[Canuckistanian]

113. Oww! My nipples explode with delight!

[Greyhound]

11. I love children...

Thinly sliced and sauteed in a light garlic butter sauce. :rofl:

[BikeWriter]

14. Good, don't mention veal or the PeTa folks will jump you!

[BikeWriter]

17. Or goose liver...

[Elidor]

26. Fois gras is perfect...

After a hard day clubbing baby seals.

[BikeWriter]

31. Uh oh, prepare to repel boarders!.

[DouglasRussel]

56. what clubs allow baby seals in?

[petronius]

16. Cool, with a touch of fog in the marine layer

but it'll be sunny and clear tomorrow...

[BikeWriter]

19. It has been my experience those marines are often foggy.

They're damned handy in a fight, though. :-)

[petronius]

22. No marines around here...

...we do have the original home of the CA National Guard, although few of them are home these days...

[BikeWriter]

32. Whoa! I'll bet those bases and bars are bare!

:(

[kid a]

18. peanut butter on a spoon for dinner

[Heidi]

20. Congratulations on not choking to death

as a result of your meal-on-a-spoon! :hi:

[BikeWriter]

21. I've done that. You and I both need to go shopping!

[petronius]

25. You need some celery...

Even better, you need sugar and butter and eggs and some other stuff to turn that PB into PB cookies...

[BikeWriter]

27. I think I'll have a Martini for dinner.

[kid a]

33. i can eat ramen noodles for lunch and dinner all month for only $6

[BikeWriter]

37. If I did that I'd have to get out and kill something to eat...

I buy tuna, macaroni and cheese, sardines, and other snacks at Dollar Stores. They tide me over between trips out to eat.

[DouglasRussel]

57. ramen no, soba yes

mmmmmmmmmm......

[BikeWriter]

61. That is good stuff!

[UrbScotty]

73. I had ramen (nt)

[BikeWriter]

76. I like them if I have something to add. Fish, chicken, or something.

[petronius]

28. Some guys in Brazil just stole $68 million

makes my day look pretty unproductive :(

[BikeWriter]

34. Oh hell! I've only done petty larceny myself.

[enigmatic]

35. 10 men digging through a mountain...

one boy playing the piano..

[Heddi]

36. It's 1:30am and I'm not the least bit tired

even though I have to get up early tomorrow and run errands and go to a Dr's appointment AND do tons of school work.

feh.

[BikeWriter]

38. ACK! I hope you get some rest, Dear. I hate working tired.

[Heddi]

39. Well, it's summertime, I'm home alone...

(Hubby out of town for work training) so I'm in no hurry to collapse just yet.

At worst, I'll wake up tired tomorrow, get shit done, then take a nap during the hottest part of the day (3-7) and be refreshed for another late night of DU randomness

:)

[BikeWriter]

40. LOL! It sounds like you have a plan. :-)

[Heddi]

42. yeah. I'm lazy

and I know it.

And knowing is half the battle.

[BikeWriter]

43. Yes, my problem is lack of incentive. I'm retired...

No one else lives here, so I just hang out online.

[Heddi]

44. I hear ya. I hope to retire within the next 6 months or so

and that's only if I win the lotto.

Otherwise, another 90 years of hard labour for me.

My problem is lack of COMPULSION. I have always been lazy. Mom criticized me for it, and I said "well you raised me". Hubby criticizes me for it (jokingly half the time) and I retort "Well, ya knew it before ya married me" heh. At least I win all the arguments :)

Right now he's out of town. If he were in town, I'd be sacked out 3 hours ago. But because I *DON'T* have to go to bed, I'm like a child and refuse to do so even though I know it's best for me.

Last night I held out til 3:30. I think I can do better than that tonight (I mean, "today")

[BikeWriter]

47. I know what you mean. I worked shift work for years...

No more!

[DouglasRussel]

58. I retired at 29....

....kinda.

[BikeWriter]

62. You kinda retired? Well, if it works for you... :-)

[alarcojon]

41. I saw Air Force One yesterday!

We were on a plane, ready to fly out of Albuquerque, when the pilot said Air Force one was flying in. We saw it land. A cool sight, regardless of the main occupant.

Of course, we had to wait for about a half hour for the boy king to dethrone before we could take off...

[BikeWriter]

45. It's been years since I've seen Air Force One..

[NoPasaran]

69. I saw Air Force Two once

It must have been 1966

[Trigger Hippie]

46. It's very hot,

but it might rain today. I hope so. Maybe it'll get cooler when I'm trying to sleep with no air conditioning... :)

[BikeWriter]

49. ACK! I've done that in hot weather. It's no fun...

I hear thunder boomers outside here.

[Trigger Hippie]

51. I keep thinking the summer's almost over up here

in Boston, so I'm not going to get an AC. But it's sooo hard to sleep in this heat in a second floor apartment. :(

[BikeWriter]

55. I have windows on both sides of my bedroom...

on the second floor. I used a ceiling fan and a squirrel caged fan, but it is nice to have an AC in the window now. I use it rather than cool the entire house for just me.

[In_The_Wind]

48. I'll add a few

It's getting cloudy so my trike trip to NC has been postponed ... twice

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3820049&mesg_id=3820877

[BikeWriter]

50. That sucks, Dear. Here's hoping for pretty weather!

[In_The_Wind]

52. another case of 'everything is as it should be'

I also ordered highway pegs. You would have laughed your ass off if you could have watched some my last 75 miles home on Sunday night. I propped my feet on the top part of the fairing (almost on the pockets) at one point. I decided do something about that need for different positions.


Back when I was riding at the tender young (and crazy) age of 18 I did some awesome moves on two wheels.

[BikeWriter]

59. I like the extended pegs, too. I like to be comfortable.

I've never understood how those cafe racer folks tolerate the position you have to be in to ride one of those.

[In_The_Wind]

63. I think it's because they're not riding for long

distances or for any length of time.

Riding my Goldwing is like sitting in a favorite chair at home with excellent seat padding, built in radio and NOAA weather channel. I use my left fairing pocket to carry a bottle of water for the ride the windshield helps but I still get dehydrated after an hour or more of riding.

[BikeWriter]

64. Riding with Harley riders it's impossible to get dehydrated...

We always had to turn in at a bar at regular intervals. :)

[In_The_Wind]

66. hahaha ... yeah, yeah .... ya know how the saying goes

if ya can't hang with the BIG dogs

stay on the porch

[BikeWriter]

67. I know you're right! :-)

[In_The_Wind]

137. water or non-alcoholic beer ~ that's it

I don't drink & drive ... so ... I certainly don't drink & ride

[UrbScotty]

65. How is the sanctity of your marriage?

Have gays threatened it? If so, buy Rick Santorum's book.

[BikeWriter]

68. Not married. Gays don't bother me, either :-)

[TrogL]

70. Why not?

Did you want me to bother you?

[BikeWriter]

71. Not too many folks care to mess with...

someone who looks like Santa Claus on a two week binge.

[BikeWriter]

72. More thunder boomers outside. :-(

[Mutley]

74. We had thunder boomers last night.

They were fun!

[BikeWriter]

75. I'm glad you like them. I'm okay with them, unless...

They get close and I have to shut off my PC. We've gotten a pretty good soaking out of the rain. I'll have to mow within the next few days.

[Mutley]

77. You should get a concrete yard.

It's wonderful!

I love thunderstorms so having to turn off the PC is worth it.

[BikeWriter]

82. I've often threatened to concrete the whole yard...

I've just never gotten round to it. Maybe one of these days I will.

[Mutley]

83. Much easier than mowing.

;)

[BikeWriter]

86. I would think it would be. Children could skate on the entire yard, too! :

[Mutley]

88. Right!

And if you want a little greenery just get some potted plants.

Mowing makes me sneeze!

[BikeWriter]

93. Mowing makes me wheeze! I think I'll do that and get plastic plants.

[Mutley]

99. LOL! Plastic works, too.

[BikeWriter]

101. Maybe I could have a pool built, and then...

have the rest concreted. A few tasteful plastic palms here and there and I'd have a low maintenance oasis! :)

[Mutley]

103. Perfect!

Pools are always great. But a pool might be more of a pain to maintain than a yard.

[BikeWriter]

104. Hmm, maybe I could recruit a pool girl, if I had a pool...

:shrug:

[Mutley]

110. Pool girl...

Wait. I'm straight! The drool is for you to use when you hire your pool girl. :rofl:

[BikeWriter]

112. Hee hee hee! Oh, I forgot, that was your line.

[Mutley]

119. ...

:P

[BikeWriter]

125. ROFLMFBO! :-)

[BikeWriter]

126. I found a wav file. Is this the right one?

http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/bugfix/104/muttley.wav

[Mutley]

135. Close, but it's spelled wrong.

I am Mutley. And that wav file is Muttley. :D

[henslee]

78. flourescent socks.

[BikeWriter]

84. Flourescent socks? That's an issue I haven't studied...

Do they light your way?

[henslee]

79. Teen vomit... as opposed to teen spirit?

[BikeWriter]

85. I have experienced teen vomit... after exposure to teen spirits.

[henslee]

89. Is it obvious I am pulling these from my DU form/autocompletes???

It's kind of fun. And very Burroughs/Post Mod.

[BikeWriter]

96. No, it wasn't obvious to me. I'd never heard of DU form/autocompletes.

[henslee]

80. Nice lyrical film. Schnabel suprised me.

[BikeWriter]

91. Julian Schnabel? His flicks have been well received!

[henslee]

81. Give her a handlebar moustache... she's Geraldo.

[Abies]

87. I've been here 2 years and I have 60 posts to my name

That's 30 posts/year! :headbang:

[BikeWriter]

92. Here's your chance to up your average! Respond to a few dozen posts!

[Abies]

102. I'm on a roll! WooooooooooooHoooo!

:applause:

[BikeWriter]

105. You're almost a heavy-duty poster already!

:applause::applause::applause::applause::applause:

[Abies]

109. 3 closer to that coveted 1000!

Now I can go back to lurking for a few months...

[BikeWriter]

111. ROFLMFBO! You're easily pleased, aren't you?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

90. Cricket song is lovely.

No?

[BikeWriter]

94. Yes, if you can hear them. My hearing is deteriorating now...

The Tinitus' constant ringing is most of what I hear.

[NNadir]

97. I don't expect to acceed to the Throne of Lesotho.

Plus one post. How many more to 10,000?

[BikeWriter]

100. You're almost there; just post a few more! Lesotho?

Is that near Duluth?

[NNadir]

124. Well, it's sort of like Duluth...

except that it's in Africa and in the Southern Hemisphere.

However were I crowned King of Lesotho, which of course, I do not expect, I would probably move my kingdom to Wisconsin. This would make it much more Duluth like, or as Duluth-like as you could be without actually being in Minnesota.

[BikeWriter]

131. I'll take that as a definite maybe.

[Tikki]

106. Define.... Punk....

Tikki

108. Artist corrects her infamous spelling mistakes in Livermore (CA) mural

An EDUCATIONAL mural, no less
Paging Matcom...

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2005/08/09/BAspelling09.DTL
(SF Chronicle) --

“What’s in a name?” Shakespere asked.

Make that “Shakespeare.” Miami artist Maria Alquilar, much maligned for 11 misspellings that popped up in the educational mural she designed for the Livermore public library last year, spent today under the hot sun correcting her mistakes.

In addition to fixing the bard’s name, she changed “Eistein” to “Einstein,” “Gaugan” to “Gauguin” and more.

But Alquilar, who at first claimed artistic license....

[BikeWriter]

114. It's about time she got them right! :-)

[phusion]

115. Lizard cheesecake

and propane felt sticks.

:)

[BikeWriter]

118. What about profane tick pelts?

[bridgit]

116. wang dang doodle nice...

autumn approaches :thumbsup:

[Liberalynn]

117. Grapes, apples, Halloween,

and then the turkey. I love Fall.

Has anyone already started thier yultide shopping?

[bridgit]

120. we simply adore 'the high holidays' why shoot...

[nookiemonster]

121. The Shadow does know.

Really.

[BikeWriter]

130. What evil lurks in the hearts of men?

[AlGore-08.com]

122. It's a cold day for pontooning

[BikeWriter]

127. That depends on your locale. :-)

[wovenpaint]

123. How are the pandas doing this evening?

I finally saw the little guy a couple of days ago.......aaawwwwwww

:hi:

[BikeWriter]

128. Yep, they're cute little critters. :-)

[datasuspect]

129. so, what are we talking about here?

[BikeWriter]

132. Anything and everything.

[drfresh]

133. 67F but hotter inside.

And we had a nice double-storm this afternoon :)

[BikeWriter]

134. That's cooler than my weather. I'm in Texas.

[Montauk6]

136. MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!! ooooooh....
