Are we still having a meetup on Oct. 15th?

[Mabus]

Because I've got people I want to bring along and I have to give them a firm date, time and location. I assume we'll meet at the Westport Flea Market around 7, as usual but I want to confirm the date.

[proud2BlibKansan]

1. YES!

I am so ready. :)

[evlbstrd]

2. Woo hoo!

And I am so broke!

[Mabus]

3. I owe you a few

and I got an unexpected (albeit small) paycheck the other day. A friend of ours has a small company and was in the middle of printing out some reports when his printer died. We were talking and I told him I could print the stuff out for him if he e-mailed the fiels to me. He did and I printed them out so he paid me.

[evlbstrd]

5. Cool!

Although I don't know why you owe me. And it'll be after the Chiefs game, so I'll probably be a little toasty to begin with.

[Mabus]

9. come to think of it, I don't think I owe you either

Too bad. I guess I get spend all the money on my own drinks. :evilgrin:

[evlbstrd]

11. Better not look away from them.

Or go to the bathroom.

[Mabus]

14. Just remember one word in my absence

backwash.

[evlbstrd]

16. Hmm.

The more full the glass, the better my odds. And I've got mouthwash.

[Mabus]

19. You sound like you've got some experience in this

Just to be on the safe side I'll try my best to keep you preserved in alcohol for the evening.

[evlbstrd]

23. Hey, I was a sailor.

(Mwahahahahaha! My evil scheme is coming to fruition!)

[Mabus]

25. Damn!

A trap and I fell into it.

[evlbstrd]

27. Ha Ha!

You have to get up pretty early in the afternoon to outwit me.

[Mabus]

33. afternoon?

Jeez, you're an early riser. I don't have to wake up until Oprah comes on to tell me what I should be complaining about this week.

[evlbstrd]

38. I have to get up

and go make the stuff ... you know. It leaves me in a stupor.

[Mabus]

39. Actually I get up pretty early

so the dogs don't pee in the house. After I get home from walking them I go into my zombie stupor for the day. I won't actually wake up again for another half hour or so.

[evlbstrd]

42. The odor of urine is a powerful motivator.

Maybe I should keep a jar of it on my desk.

[Mabus]

44. The little male

pees on the toilet if I don't get him outside on time. Last week I slept in and stepped in the puddle he left when I went to the bathroom. Not a pleasant thing to do first thing in the morning.

[evlbstrd]

49. He tries to do the right thing.

Get him a step-stool. My dog won't even go out some mornings. She's getting old an weird.

[Mabus]

52. He doesn't use the step stool in the bedroom

He barks and makes me put him on the bed. Then he barks and I have to go put him on the floor. Then he barks and I have to go put him on his favorite chair. Then he barks and I have to help him down.

The only time he uses his step stool is when I'm not home. He can get up and down on almost anything when I'm not at home. Otherwise, I'm his personal assistant.

[evlbstrd]

55. I'm Bear and Boogerhead's doorman.

And Boogerhead thinks he should eat every time he comes in the house. Yet, there's an uneaten dead bird in the yard. Bastard.

[Mabus]

58. LOL

These little shits start barking and all act like they want to go outside. Only, they really don't go outside. They go out on the back porch, look out the door and then come back in and expect a treat - which they get. I'm such a push over.

[evlbstrd]

62. I had evlspwn's pug here from Thursday to Sunday.

She's so hyper that it's hard to tell when she wants to go out. She knows a good trick, though. She's been taught to sit while you hold the little doll she chews on until the attack word: Republican. Then she rips into it viciously. I love my daughter.

[Mabus]

65. I love it

Good dog. Even better daughter.

[evlbstrd]

68. You'll have to meet Gup.

Especially while she's still a puppy and cute. Later she'll just be a pug.

[Mabus]

71. I think pugs are cute

then again I thought Ringo was cute too.

[evlbstrd]

74. Ringo was my favorite Beatle.

And gup snores. Loudly.

[Mabus]

77. I still have my Ringo doll

My shih tzu snores really loudly. My brother's girlfriend has trouble sleeping in the spare room upstairs because he snores so loudly. I can't tell you how many times his snoring has woken us up. When he gets going it is deafening.

[evlbstrd]

81. That's more like my brother.

I need to get a door for his room.

[Mabus]

83. One of my ex-boyfriends was on the debate team

His old teammates told me that they would try to get him a room on another floor - preferably the same one as their upcoming opponents- because he was so loud. He was loud but I was in love and his snoring didn't bother me until I wanted to break up with him.

[evlbstrd]

87. An excellent tactic.

For both the debate team and you. Better to keep a fault in reserve and use it to your advantage.

[Mabus]

90. By time I moved out

I had a long list of grievances to choice from. Enough for Festivus. Of course, to be fair, so did he. When it came down to it, I was totally in love with him but I just never liked him.

[evlbstrd]

93. Weird how that works.

At this point in my life, I'm being picky enough to keep myself solidly single until I die.

[Mabus]

96. Tell me about it

My house seems to be a way station for all my relatives. I think I liked it better when they didn't know where I lived.

[evlbstrd]

99. Mine have known for twenty years.

I've got my brother, my son is back, and my nephew moved in a couple weeks ago. In the past, it's been all but one of my in-laws and another brother. Some twice. All extended stays. I can't wait to be lonely.

[Mabus]

104. We've still got one of my brothers here

Two more are coming this weekend along with one of their girlfriends and at least one of my sisters. I was informed this afternoon that I should expect visitors on Saturday night as they have invited some of their friends over after the game. :eyes:

I'm thinking of checking with Rex to see if I can hide out there for part of the weekend.

[evlbstrd]

107. Here's an idea.

Why don't you and the Admiral come over for the game? You'll meet my friend and partner in home destruction, Bill, a sculpture major I met at the Art Institute long ago. He's my best friend, and his kids and mine are almost related.

[Mabus]

109. The Admiral's in a tournament this weekend

so he's abandoning me. If I can get him to change his mind you've got a deal.

[evlbstrd]

111. I'll betcha ten bucks

the tournament wins. Well, I'll see you that night at least. I'll try to drag Bill along.

[Mabus]

114. I'm not holding out hope either

That's all he's been talking about today.

[evlbstrd]

117. Hell, let him have his fun.

He might bring home more drinking money.

[Mabus]

121. I'll settle for him recouping the tournment fee

It's an on-line tournament so he's not going anywhere. He'll be firmly planted in front of his computer screen which means I'll get a non-stop play by play all fucking day long.

[evlbstrd]

124. He could use my laptop.

It's a sweet G4 17" Powerbook.

[Mabus]

4. I've got a meeting topic: In light of Foley, why should we make of Kline?

If Foley was "covering" his predilection for young boys by obsessing about on-line predators, what are we to make of Kline's obsession with abortion clinics and sex with young girls?

[evlbstrd]

6. No agendas.

That's the rule.
But, if it comes up spontaneously, that's different.

[Mabus]

7. I never mentioned agenda

but now you'll know the topic I'll bring up.

[evlbstrd]

8. Alright.

I won't tell anyone.

[Mabus]

10. Yes, please keep it quiet

Mums the word.

[evlbstrd]

12. Mums?

[Mabus]

13. LOL

The Admiral wants to know if I'm flirting again. He said I can do it as long as I don't go Foley. :rofl:

[evlbstrd]

15. What's the age of consent in these states?

Sometimes it feels like I'm still 12.

[Mabus]

17. but you act like you're only 10

and since I act a lot alike I think we're okay.

[evlbstrd]

18. Fair enough.

I get to slug you in the arm and pull your hair. Icky girl.

[Mabus]

20. You do that and I'll tell the teacher

and you know who that is.

[evlbstrd]

22. Fooey.

She's mean. And she has a secret camera.

[Mabus]

24. Plus, she knows where you live

:scared:

[evlbstrd]

26. I'm scared.

I need by blanky.

[Mabus]

30. you might pull out a pacifier too

and put it on top of a bottle of Jameson's.

[evlbstrd]

31. I have one ready at all times.

It's good for teething, too. Funny how well my kids slept.

[Mabus]

35. I figured as much.

I know the stuff helps me sleep.

[evlbstrd]

41. Oops.

Replied to the wrong post. Must be the binky.

[Mabus]

46. Whew

I was confused. Not that that's anything new.

[evlbstrd]

47. I caught it from you.

Quit sneezing on my stuff. Mom!

[Mabus]

50. You started it

Whiner. Wait til we get out on the playground and the teachers aren't looking.

[evlbstrd]

54. nuh-uh.

Meet me at the teeter-totter. And don't look inside your desk.

[Mabus]

56. Ewwwwwwwww

I looked. Why'd you want to leave that in my desk? You just wait. I'll meet you by the teeter-totter, second recess, be there.

[evlbstrd]

60. It was starting to stink up my backpack.

Can I borrow a pencil? Make sure it's sharp.

[Mabus]

61. Last time I lent you a pencil

I got it back with teeth marks all over it. And you left slobber where the eraser used to be.

[evlbstrd]

64. It was a math test.

I like art better. That wasn't slobber.

[Mabus]

66. Great, now you tell me.

I don't think I want to know what it was.

[evlbstrd]

70. Suit yourself.

You want half of my Twinkie?

[Mabus]

72. On one conditiion

only if you leave the creamy middle. Last time you licked it out and all I got was the sponge cake.

[evlbstrd]

76. And Twinkie backwash.

Okay, you get filling. Let me bite it off.

[Mabus]

78. It's a deal

Better than letting you rip it in half with your grubby fingers.

[evlbstrd]

84. Here.

[Mabus]

86. I told you I wasn't ready yet

but you tossed it anyway.

Well, it has been less than five seconds it should still be okay to eat.

on edit: Yum. Thanks. I needed that. It hit the spot.

[evlbstrd]

89. You're welcome.

I licked it and stuck my finger in it.

[Mabus]

91. I hope you're still talking about the twinkie

:eyes:

[evlbstrd]

95. Yeah, that too.

[Mabus]

97. You're just plain evl

[evlbstrd]

102. Thanks.

I knew you'd appreciate that.

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. No need to tell

The eyes in the back of my head are zeroing in on this little situation.

You had both better be glad I am fresh out of detention slips. :evilgrin:

[Mabus]

34. Yoiks!

:yoiks: We're in for it now! :scared:

[Mabus]

21. By the way,

what are you wearing?

[evlbstrd]

28. A wife-beater tee,

purple lederhosen, knee-high socks and Birckenstocks. And a cup. How about you?

[Mabus]

37. LOL

I'm wearing the same thing but with a saucer.

[evlbstrd]

40. Pics?

I'd post some, but my camera was stolen. Yeah, that's it.

[Mabus]

43. As you wish

I know, I look a lot like Kelly Ripa.

[evlbstrd]

45. Where's the saucer?

And those are funny looking lederhosen.

[Mabus]

48. I'm balancing it on my butt

It doesn't show up well since its so small - the saucer, not my butt.

Well, I washed the lederhosen the other day in hot water and they shrunk.

[evlbstrd]

51. Wow.

You have a prehensile butt. That's hot.

[Mabus]

53. Well the tail helps

:yoiks:

[evlbstrd]

57. As the Admiral can surely attest,

my tail was severed at birth.

[Mabus]

59. Probably the same time they cut off his

two extra fingers. He was conceived in Roswell you know.

[evlbstrd]

63. Another fine use for a jar.

Does he have antennae?

[Mabus]

67. No

We've got cable.

[evlbstrd]

69. Much better reception.

He can get the home improvement shows.

[Mabus]

73. I've blocked those channels

Don't want him finding out what a clean kitchen looks like.

[evlbstrd]

75. But what about indoor plumbing?

Especially a shower with 27 spray heads and a bidet?

[Mabus]

80. Interestingly enough

The indoor plumbing wasn't affected when I blocked the channels. Of course, I didn't point the remote at the shower when I blocked the channels. Now, I know not to.

[evlbstrd]

82. You have to install the sensor.

That way your implants trigger the water flow.

[Mabus]

85. Are you talking about the NSA implants

or the ones the aliens from Zeltoid implanted?

[evlbstrd]

88. The Zeltoids.

They're at least benign. The NSA implants make the hot water shut off unexpectedly.

[Mabus]

92. Really?

It doesn't seem to affect the water but it sure plays havoc with radios. Maybe we've got different implants.

[evlbstrd]

94. That's the FDA approved mercury fillings.

You need to bust your teeth out.

[Mabus]

98. But that will make the voices go away

and then what will I do? I need them to talk to me.

[evlbstrd]

101. Stop taking the pills.

You'll talk back to them more.

[Mabus]

105. Out loud?

or will I continue to just converse with them in my head like always?

[evlbstrd]

108. You might mutter a little.

That wouldn't be terribly out of place in Lawrence.

[Mabus]

112. Muttering is acceptable behavior

especially in my neighborhood.

Speaking of mutterers, I have to take the pups to the park for their nightly walk. If I'm lucky I'll run into one of the local homeless mutterers at the park. Most of the time they're pretty harmless. For some reason they give us a wide berth. I'm not sure but the German Shepherd might be the reason they keep their distance.

[evlbstrd]

115. Have a nice walk.

Doggies are great.

[Mabus]

119. Yeah, right

Have you seen the number of squirrels lately? Jeez, it is amazing my arms are still attached. They see (or more often, think they see) squirrels in every tree. Once they think they've seen one they start running at full speed. Between taking them for walks and moving the shih tzu around to his favorite spots I get a pretty good work out every day.

[evlbstrd]

120. Bear doesn't do that.

She's very good on a leash. She's a maniac in the yard, though.

[Mabus]

122. These little heathens are spoiled

I didn't discipline them when I should have. Now they walk all over me.

[evlbstrd]

125. Pushover.

That's why we get along.

[Mabus]

131. Story of my life

and one of the reasons I had so many dates 20 years or so ago. :evilgrin:

[Mabus]

126. Damn it

The shih tzu just peed in the bathroom. I better go and take them to the park before he decides to complete the rest of his nightly routine.

[evlbstrd]

128. OK.

126 messages on this thread is pretty impressive.

[Mabus]

129. I'm trying to overtake the Missouri board

Can't help myself. It's the rivalry thing.

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. Well since our rule is no agendas

why don't you write a report and bring copies? We could all use a little light bedtime reading.

[Mabus]

36. I just want to start a whisper campaign

that Kline's obsession might have its roots in his past.

pssst, pass it on. ;)

[evlbstrd]

79. Aw, not homework on a weekend.

Man ...

[Mabus]

100. Pssst

I've already finished mine. I'll run the thesarus, change a couple of words and put your name on it. She'll never know.

[evlbstrd]

103. Thanks.

I owe you a whole Twinkie and a pencil.

[Mabus]

106. I want the twinkie wrapped

and the pencil not embedded in the twinkie.

[evlbstrd]

110. God, you're so picky.

Want a hertz donut?

[Mabus]

113. What's a hertz donut it?

:scared: typing that out, I think I know where you're going.

[evlbstrd]

116. Whap!

Hurts, don't it?

[Mabus]

123. Ow!

That left a red mark. :cry: I'm going to tell the teacher.

[evlbstrd]

127. Crybaby.

Better not.

[Mabus]

130. I hope she pulls out the paddle

'cuz I'm gonna laugh and laugh and laugh if she does.

[proud2BlibKansan]

118. The new supt is ordering homework on weekends

And you know he da man.

[evlbstrd]

132. Yeah, well ...

he da jerk, too.

[proud2BlibKansan]

133. LOL Tell me something I don't know

[evlbstrd]

135. You really want me to?

I could go into postal requirements for various dircect mail formats.

[Mabus]

134. for you or for the kids?

}(

[proud2BlibKansan]

136. Both

[Mabus]

142. That sucks

As one friend to another, don't borrow pencils from evl. He slobbers on them. At least, I hope it was just slobber. :scared:

[ComerPerro]

137. I saw this thread and thought, "Wow, 136 posts. This will be huge"

then I looked.

Just you three....

[proud2BlibKansan]

138. Well, mainly just those other two

I was really more of an observer.

[ComerPerro]

139. yeah, you're blameless here, eh?

You missed it today, I had 3 "subthreads" delted, in the same thread in GD

[proud2BlibKansan]

140. I played only a very minor role

What thread? PM it to me.

[Mabus]

141. PM me too

I don't know why I'm still up and checking this thread.

btw, I'm trying to get more posts on the Kansas thread so we can overtake the number of posts on the Missouri thread.
