Another good meetup.

[evlbstrd]

Scratchtasia, proud2Blib and her other son, Mabus and her husband, Admiral Loinpresser and their pet friend Rex and Patrice attended. Needless to say, we managed between us to solve every dilemma confronting humanity, and then immediately forget what we were saying.
And as far as I know, Mabus didn't pee herself. At least not in the restaurant.
Pictures tomorrow.

1. Those Depends are working well for her

Hey Mabus says we can burn some freepers at Rex's bonfire. Should we roast the marshmallows before or after the freepers?

[evlbstrd]

2. Roast marshmallows fitst.

Otherwise you get a really nasty aftertaste.

[Mabus]

3. How about this compromise?

We can use the freepers for kindling to start the fire. Since the bonfire is near Lawrence there probably aren't enough freepers to get a really good fire going. We'll use them to start the fire and then throw on some huge logs to get a real fire going. That way they will "burn off" way before we get the marshmallows and hot dogs out.

[evlbstrd]

8. As long as they don't make a stench.

Add a little napalm to get it going good.

[Mabus]

10. I think their greasy hair and slimy bodies

will be enough to ignite the fire.

[evlbstrd]

12. Smoky.

[Mabus]

13. Think of them as mesquite chips.

[evlbstrd]

18. Not for my brisket!

[Mabus]

21. Picky, picky, picky

Okay, I'll try to get Rex to set-up a bonfire (down wind) for roasting freepers. That way it won't contaminate food.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Sounds like a plan

and a bumper sticker:

FREEPERS Make Great Kindling

[Mabus]

27. or FREEPERS = Soylent Green

My only fear would be that after a few years of using freepers as Soylent Green people would begin to develop Mad Condi Disease.

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. LOL

Mabus you are too clever.

[Mabus]

4. Revisiting Kelly Ripa

I think I figured out the Kelly Ripa "situation". It comes down to perception. For example, here's the image of Kelly Ripa that comes to the minds of most people.






Here's the Kelly Ripa that Rex sees:



I hope this helps clear up Rex's fascination with her.

[evlbstrd]

7. The first image never came into my mind.

The second one is a little grainy. Can you find a better copy? Strictly for research purposes, of course.

[Mabus]

9. To quote Son Number One

(of proud's brood) "God says, 'NO.'"

[evlbstrd]

11. I can't hear him.

He doesn't exist.

[Mabus]

14. That's not the issue

The answer remains the same, "no". If you want a less grainy photo then use your photoshopping wizardry. :P

[evlbstrd]

17. Nah.

It'll end up blurry instead of grainy. Garbage in, Garbage out.

[Mabus]

20. Then look at it late night

:beer: after a few Guinnesses, when everything looks blurry!

[evlbstrd]

22. Hmmm.

That's actually when things become clear to me. I have the most incredible insights that way.

[Mabus]

23. Yes, but do you remember them the next day?

[evlbstrd]

24. No.

But it means I can have it again, and still feel brilliant.

[Mabus]

25. Like "Men in Black"

Doing it again for the first time. I like that.

[evlbstrd]

26. Or like "Groundhog Day."

Doing it over and over again.

[Mabus]

28. Speaking of which

haven't we had this conversation? And how did you know who my high school English teacher was?

[evlbstrd]

32. How the hell am I supposed to know?

Who was your teacher again?

[Mabus]

33. If you're not the one reliving Wednesday

and it isn't me, then who is it?

[evlbstrd]

34. Oh shit.

We're stuck in someone else's deja vu? All over again?

[Mabus]

35. Sucks doesn't it

[evlbstrd]

36. Not if you turn it into a religion

and make a ton of money from it.

[Mabus]

37. That would take initiative

and, as I understand it, I would also be required to wake-up early at least one weekend day early. That ain't going to happen any time soon.

[evlbstrd]

38. All good points.

But that's why video exists. Except for the initiative part. Let's twist one and think about it.

[Mabus]

39. Okay

:beer:

Do I need to play catch-up?

P.S. You know what a light weight I am.

[evlbstrd]

40. I think so.

I have whiskey.

[Mabus]

41. Damn, I could use some right about now

Oh well, I checked the fridge, looks like the beer fairy forget to make her rounds today. I guess I'll drink my Pepsi and pretend.

[evlbstrd]

43. Stupid beer fairy.

Right now, I'm waiting on the coffee fairy.

edit to change beef to beer. It's a miracle!

[ComerPerro]

5. Ahh, and how is Admiral Loinpresser these days?

[Mabus]

6. He's taking a combat nap right now

but he's doing well. Thank you for asking.

He got up early and ran some errands. I had a follow-up doctor visit this morning. I got home a few minutes before he did and saw the OBL "breaking news". When he walked in the door, I looked at him and I told him "Osama's back". He rolled his eyes and said he was going to do what the pResident would do in a situation like this - he went to an undisclosed location and took a nap.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. Did he clear some brush too?

[Mabus]

19. No, but he did choke on a pretzel last night.

Okay, maybe he didn't.

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. Nah he was working on that Osama video

Had to get that English to Arabic translation just right.

[Mabus]

31. The Admiral does know some Farsi

Most of what he does know he picked up from some Iranian room mates back in the 70's. Unfortunately most of what he can say is impolite in mixed company. And you know me, I don't use that kind of language. :eyes:

[ComerPerro]

42. LOL
