I realise that for most of the U.S. (and thus most DUers) it's Sunday afternoon which is rightly spent drinking, eating and doing very little indeed. So I'm wondering who is actually here to have some fun.

[billyskank]

1. I will call the register

billyskank?




"Yes, sir."

[tjwmason]

2. Well I'm here too.

Does that mean I have to call you 'sir'? :shrug:

[LeftyMom]

3. What's involved in entertaining Billyskank?

As long as this is good clean fun, feel free to count me in. :)

[tjwmason]

5. There's the very obvious suggestion

Which he's bound to enjoy ;)

But if you're after good clean fun - just being your usual charming self should be more than enough. :hi:

[LeftyMom]

10. Awwwwwwwww

:blush:

[billyskank]

8. No-one wants to have unclean fun with me

:cry:

Actually, scratch that, I just read khashka's post...

[tjwmason]

14. That list's a tad wee bit longer than just him as well.

:pals:

[billyskank]

21. ...

:pals:

[LeftyMom]

15. Sorry, I'm being a good girl.

I did start a rumor about you in the unfounded rumor thread though. :)

[billyskank]

18. I saw

:P

[khashka]

4. We have to entertain him????????

Isn't lusting after him enough? Good gods he's demanding!

Now where did I put the vodka? After all.... alcohol is a much better bet than a man who won't take his freakin' trowsers off! And it's Sunday, so why not?

Khash.

[tjwmason]

6. I didn't expect you to entertain him.

I just expected you to make snarky comments from the side-lines.

Hey that's what you are doing :wow: T.J. managed to predict snarkiness from Khash. :P

I've no idea where the vodka is, but if you know how to mix a good long-vodka that would be a splendid idea right now.

[khashka]

43. TJ predicts snarkiness from Khash?

No great achievement.

Babies in their cribs start cryind and yelling "here comes that snarky bastard!"

Sorry, bad day,

Khash.

[tjwmason]

45. How are you doing today?

:hug:

[khashka]

67. Umm not so good...

Last night I was told I'm fat. Normally, I weigh about 165. But I was sick and now am 6 foot and weigh 134. I lost 30 pounds! And I'm fat!

And, yes, I did break my nose. And it has to be reset. Which means me and a hammer. Not exactly what I would consider fun. Cuz I always flinch at the first blow.

And this Mafia dude I know said if I don't come over and eat lasagna with him he'll get his "friends" to take care of it. He said he hoped I had good health insurance.


So... I can beat me into a bloody pulp or let someone else do it. Or more likely both. So I'm not feeling exactly uhm positive. Now where did I put the hammer.......


So, TJ, having a happy Monday?

Khash.

[Mutley]

7. I'm here.

Been in and out most of the day. I'm not drinking, though. :)

[billyskank]

9. Mutley!!!!

:hi:

[Mutley]

11. Hey billy!

:hi:

Don't be silly, by the way. :evilgrin:

[billyskank]

12. You're too kind

:hug:

[Mutley]

13. Kindness has nothing to do with it.

:P

[billyskank]

16. Oh my

:blush:

[Mutley]

22. ...

[billyskank]

23. I had no idea you were so naughty

:loveya:

[Mutley]

26. I can be -- when the mood strikes.

:loveya:

[billyskank]

28. Hey!

That picture you sent me. It has become microscopic sized! It was huge before. What happened?

[Mutley]

29. That's weird.

Earlier, I was trying to make it smaller in photobucket. Guess I made it too small. :crazy:

[billyskank]

32. I liked it bigger

Like, big enough so I can actually see you. :)

[Mutley]

33. This one should be more manageable.

[billyskank]

35. That's much better

:loveya:

[Mutley]

37. Now it's my turn.

:blush: !!

:loveya:

[supernova]

17. I'm here...

I'll share my Spacehog with you both...

[billyskank]

19. Beautiful

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear tj!

I'm here.....but not for long!

My husband and I are leaving in about 20 minutes for a chamber music recital!

We LOVE chamber music....especially LIVE!

How are you today? Or I should say, tonight? It's nearly 10pm for you, isn't it?

:loveya: :hug:

[billyskank]

24. It's 9:40pm here

I hope you both enjoy your recital :hug: :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear billyskank!

We will, thank you!

And you have a great sleep, since I will miss your goodnight thread!

:loveya: :hug:

[tjwmason]

25. I hope that you enjoy it.

It is so much more intimate to see chamber music - I tend to prefer the repertoire of larger-scale works, but with chamber music one can really see the musicians working together and communicating.

What works are they playing?

Yes - it's about quarter to ten here. I've had a very good day, and as I'm off work tomorrow, I don't have to get things ready so am just relaxing with Herodotus and D.U.

:hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. I don't know what they're going to play ........

But if you like, I'll bring home the program, and tell you later! Of course, you'll be asleep by then, but I can still post it......

I love watching them communicate with each other, too!

:loveya: :hug:

[tjwmason]

30. A surprise concert

Even better - adds some expectation for you.

Unfortunately its a bit of a cultural wasteland here - London is close enough to get to, though not close enough to be easy. I'll be in there for several of the Proms though, that's for sure. :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

34. I'm still around.

But we are going out for a bit of shopping before supper.

[billyskank]

36. Hey Joani

:hug:

[tjwmason]

38. The world must be ok if Joani's around.

:hug:

[billyskank]

39. That's what I always think

:)

[tjwmason]

40. And as usual you're right.

It's odd, you always seem to be right - except when you disagree with me, I wonder why that is? :P

[billyskank]

41. There's definitely a pattern in there

:think:

[tjwmason]

42. You should investigate further

I mean - you might find a way of being right all of the time. :P

[In_The_Wind]

66. Hey tj! I'm back again.

[Mutley]

44. Does billyskank need entertaining today?

Or was it just yesterday? :D

[tjwmason]

46. I'm not sure if he needs to be entertained.

But I'm sure that he wouldn't turn down the chance to chat with you. ;)

:hi:

[Mutley]

47. I would hope not.

:P

:hi:

How are you doing tjwmason?

[tjwmason]

48. I'm doing very well indeed, thank you.

We get May Day as a bank holiday here - so I've been able to be a lazy git all day long. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

How are you? :hi:

[Mutley]

50. Aren't you lucky?

They believe in as few holidays as possible here. x(

I'm good. Sleepy, but good. :hi:

[tjwmason]

52. We get fewer public holidays than most of Europe.

A total of 8 each year - Northern Ireland gets 10 though (keeping both St. Patrick and the Battle of the Boyne to appease both sides of the sectarian divide).

[Mutley]

53. I'm not sure how many we get.

I can think of six for sure.

[tjwmason]

54. I can usually think of a good reason to have a new one

At least one per week ;)

[Mutley]

55. I apparently need a bit of your imagination.

[tjwmason]

56. There's so much history here

One can usually find something important which happened.

The problem isn't so much finding the reason for the holiday - it's convincing the puritans who run our government to make it a holiday.

Such is life.

[Mutley]

57. Or you could just call in and tell them you're sick.

:D

[billyskank]

58. Well, that's okay maybe 40 or 50 times a year

but after that you have to start finding another reason :D

[Mutley]

59. That's when you tell them you gave your neighbor your illness

and are obliged to care for him. :evilgrin:

[tjwmason]

60. That takes all the fun out of it though.

:crazy:

[Mutley]

62. Okay. A fun excuse to take the day off....

You leave your house only to find out someone slashed all four of the tires on your car. You only have one spare! What could your boss do about that?

[XemaSab]

61. We get very few indeed

New Year's, President's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

And some lucky fools get Martin Luther King day....

[Mutley]

63. I didn't think of President's day.

How about Easter?

Nevermind. That is a Sunday.

[XemaSab]

64. But yeah

that plus our two weeks of vacation here really RAWKS!

Not.

[Mutley]

65. Two weeks?

Not me. x(

Though I don't work full time. :P

I am, however, taking five classes.

[XemaSab]

49. Billyskank needs entertaining every day

It is at his pleasure that we are here, and I will willingly serve in any capacity he wishes.

[Mutley]

51. Where is he, then?

x(
