Mornin' Silly Wenches & Knaves!!!!!!

(the King's a tad uncomfortable w/ blanket usage of the W-word ......isn't there a negative connotation in the Real World?)

Amanda!? Shouldn't the Wegman's flyer be due out soon??????

Wench??? How did you know????

I will get to preview the flyer before it comes out and I need to get my release of photo signed but it hasn't come in the mail yet. The photographer and I spoke on Friday and he sent the photos to Rochester last Thursday and he said they came out fabtastic. I will let you all know :) Tis Exciting!

My cats pound on the door, dancing with their legs crossed, for me to let them in to go potty.

My Cat pounds on the door because he feels left out when we go into a room and close the door.....we do this to him at night when he is making too much noise while we try to sleep. He has more human tendencies than cat....

[nikki-uk]

I really don't think I'm buxom enough to be called a 'Wench'

Doth thou dislike my dungarees?

Thou doth clothe thy naked villany in....DUNGAREES????????

The fashion constabulary WILL hear about this! <even if you are king >

My cats pound on the door, dancing with their legs crossed, for me to let them in to go potty.

Yeah ....he'd LOVE to do that

He'd also like all doors and windows to be left open so he could sit half-in half-out

Made some tactical moves today....

Placed litter tray on back step .....he DID use it there......tomorrow the litter tray goes further out into the garden......

DETERMINED to get RID OF THE TRAY!!!!!!!!!

Lottery and gambling winnings are tax free in Canada (pretty much the only thing the US taxes but we don't!) so we might be able to make it into a tax free million. Depends, I guess on whether Jack sees it as something being won or just a choice that one is making.

No, I'd wager he'd consider this a deal of sorts, and therefore the money wouldn't be winnings, but more like a salary for doing a job--wearing complete green every minute of every day. I had been explaining income tax to him a while ago, and he was sharp enough to say at the very beginning, "It would actually be, like, one million, five hundred thousand, and you would have to pay tax. So, you'd end up with a million". I did ask him about underwear and jammies...yep, he said, EVERYTHING...and no blue-greens or yellowy greens, unless the green part is strongest.

He said if that was the case, he would--and I think I would, too.

Me, too, upon reflection. And Jack has said that the clothes would be supplied. This saves us shopping big-time.....

Mornin' Silly Wenches & Knaves!!!!!!

(the King's a tad uncomfortable w/ blanket usage of the W-word ......isn't there a negative connotation in the Real World?)

Absolutely. But we're SO freakin' far from any Real World here, I think you can go ahead with this word.....

Let's see .. . ..small, green & free of financial worries? La Fee Verte?

That Maignan absinthe-related painting WAS titled The Green Muse!

Is Em raising the green phaerie??

<not that there's anything wrong w/ that>

I did not make the coincidental connection between Jack's Green Question and our simultaneous discourse on absinthe/Green Phaerie. Why did Jack choose green in his question? Why did he ask me this bizzare question AT ALL?

....Life with The Ripper....

LOVED all the music talk yesterday but phew! that was a LOTta pages!!!

And it all began w/ Larry King's guestlist!!

I know! Frenetic posting!! We need a new, equally explosive topic.....

[DingoGirl]

argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! emoticonally busted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BAH!!!!!!!!!

Kingy say Dingy go download that "By Your Side" (augh! you better NOT have some inexplicable gluten-brain disdain for Sade!!) for a dingoland snuggled singalong.

Such a sweet song of unconditional love.

Well. The sad news is, Mr. JR (secret agent freak man) used to play that Sade C D all the time in Big Sur, so it's ruined for me forever......

********************************

(I feel an overquoting coming & I pre-emptively blame Sue )

Plays too????? Thought it was just musicals.

Even some Tennessee Williams' et al classic w/ great actors??

(Or just Clooney as Brick?)

HATE plays. HATE HATE HATE musical plays. Whilst in London over 20 years ago, had to see Cats (nearly slit my wrists - and my parents went back to see it two more times - I thought I would surely go mad, counting the SECONDS to my freedom), Evita (better but still a challenge for me) and Amadeus, the year it won the - - Obi? The English equiv. of the Tony? It was OUTSTANDING..........and the only play I've ever loved.

Had to see DOZENS of plays as my oldest niece (now 24) was quite a little singer/actress, so I was constantly driving home from Monterey........excruciating plays, many of them, but pure joy and always made me cry to see her......she did win performer of the year in her large school district - played Evita and also Sandy in Grease - I was bawling........

Ptaum called me Sue.

p.s. I could watch George Clooney fold laundry. ha ha

im not twisting her arm to go to this musical! so she is either a closet musical lover or... she really does me !!!! im hoping its me !

Susie HATES musicals, so you know that that means. especially at the place we're seeing it...gads......I will surely go mad........Kissy will find this very funny..........watching me try to sit still and behave, while I watch everyone else eat and take wee, discreet tipples from me flask. (winky face)

right .. ..I neglected to count the wait-for-evil-aunts-to-DIE strategy (or Lotto)

ha ha - My cousin and I decided (one of the aunts is her mother) that they aren't evil at all, just very selfish. I hope to God that they leave it to the five grandchildren of the wonderful old Southern gent who bought it......then I would be part-owner. (huge smiley face)

Now that we are surfacing, I'll admit it: cannot stand Neil Diamond...

thank you. I surely don't get it........the looks, the hair, the voice, everything....just don't get it at all.......can't stand to look at him, sorry pholks (I hold him on the same level as Barry Manilow - wait - he's WORSE) Pre-emptive apologies to those I've offended. ha ha

Emily said Slattern.

OMG - I WOULD wear green every day for the million.......celadon, teal, loden.... good coloUrs.

Janet - how are the kids? any better today?

And I'm not sure Kissey would be considered a metal head per se, at least that's not the category I would file the concerts he attended into....Foreigner, Loverboy, Journey, Triumph, Eddie Money, Bryan Adams, Night Ranger, The Police, The Fixx, Madness, Oingo Boingo, and The Thompson Twins..........these bands are a little on the fluffy side and much too tame for HELL

*snort* this cracked me up........I fink she's right.........

UHM- hallo...I'm tired and trying REALLY hard here Did NO ONE notice that my intro to Squatty (aka Kissy) was a parody of Sympathy for the devil and I posted a VERY FUNNY video! HARUMPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the spanish nanny video. Believe 'twas I who sent it to you, in fact. Um......sympathy for the devil post? missed that one......does this mean, you feel sorry for Squats?

An official hi (and belated!) to SWD.

(PSSSTT-------We love Susie!!!!!!!!!!!)

Hi Laura. We love you, too.

Bev!! I missed you video post, somehow. Must go back....

Tom!! Missed your First Official Proclamation, as well. Um.....do all subjects need to be partaking in the Magic Phairie to partake in the ceremony? As token alehouse slattern, I suppose I should be pressing for this...this is kind of what we do. Like, all day....

Perhaps I'll wear green.......

token alehouse slattern

excellent proclamation

PART TWO COMING UP

[DingoGirl]

part deux

I'm starting to wonder if your Sympathy post got dingo'd er somefin

(Squats may need an explanation of the verb)

he's around me all the time......trust me, he knows what to "dingo" something means (he finds it charming - for now at least - how much time I spend searching for things I just had in my hand - he always knows where they are: "they're by the computer" etc. etc.) Wonder how long he'll think it's cute and quirky and funny?

Do you realize that was like 5 pages ago? We've had a really busy day here on this thread and we've already used up 5 pages of tom's reign.

I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop it! Tom's posts are getting too long and confusing again. He is tippling that phaerie every day, I can feel it.

pOeter - OMG - wishing you the best in the delivery today........

[Edit: ok maybe partly the alcohol, but more the picture painted of laughing sillies spilling & sharing a keybd]

You two!!!!!

'twas quite funny. Alas, when I logged on this morning, I looked at the bottom of the page, and saw that Squats wif Dingos was on.......very curious as I knew he could not be. and then - oops - realized that 'twas I, and I had not PROPERLY signed in. ha ha ha

Thou doth clothe thy naked villany in....DUNGAREES????????

The fashion constabulary WILL hear about this! <even if you are king >

she said FASHION CONSTABULARY. we don't use the word constabulary in the US, and that is why I snort every time I hear it.........

the tray!!!!!!!!! Good work, Will will be weeing in the bushes in no time.........

No, I'd wager he'd consider this a deal of sorts, and therefore the money wouldn't be winnings, but more like a salary for doing a job--wearing complete green every minute of every day. I had been explaining income tax to him a while ago, and he was sharp enough to say at the very beginning, "It would actually be, like, one million, five hundred thousand, and you would have to pay tax.

:lol: Well, I couldn't do it then, having such a psychotic strong aesthetic proclivity and sensitivity to coloUr, if there are no blue-greens or yellowy-greens, then phorget it.

Jack. mygawd, he is funny. I think Life with the Ripper was hit #4 by the Chicken Butt Cooties........

*************************************

guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my gawdd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONTROL Z really words!!!!!!!!! it brings back yer stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! see, I didn't know it - - but you can keep hitting it, and it will bring back more and more of what you erased.............................

BARRY MANILOW!!! ...um.....actually, I like some of his stuff

NOTHING (after a few drinks) will get me singing & dancing quicker than Copocobana

''Her name was Lola......she was a showgirl........''

Talking of cheesy artists...does anyone else like Michael Buble????...... again & I like to say his name

[tom]

Me, too, upon reflection. And Jack has said that the clothes would be supplied. This saves us shopping big-time.....

This new piece of info TOE-tully clinches it for me!!!!!

Can't deny I'm still apprehensive about the shoes tho.

Aren't women's shoes FAR more easily greenified than men's????

I did not make the coincidental connection between Jack's Green Question and our simultaneous discourse on absinthe/Green Phaerie.

Oh right ... ... .EVERYthing's a coincidence now .. . . ..

And on the very day of an Absintheteur's ascension??

Em needs to revisit my treatise on www.there'sareasonforeverything.com, particularly the "free will, free shmill" subtopic.

[DingoGirl]

Talking of cheesy artists...does anyone else like Michael Buble????...... again & I like to say his name

:lol: :lol:

OMG - guess what. this MUST be love, because I in fact agreed to go with Kissey to see Buble in concert, here in town, in May. I think it'll be tolerable, at best. I don't know a single Buble song, with the exception of any covers he does.........

gawd help us......................

[elye]

...how much time I spend searching for things I just had in my hand - he always knows where they are: "they're by the computer" etc. etc.) Wonder how long he'll think it's cute and quirky and funny?

About....uh....(thinking back).....a year.

`Well, I couldn't do it then, having such a psychotic strong aesthetic proclivity and sensitivity to coloUr, if there are no blue-greens or yellowy-greens, then phorget it.

I am also highly sensitive to coloUR combos, so this condition of "greenest green only" gave me pause, as well. But Susie...it's a million bucks!

BARRY MANILOW!!! ...um.....actually, I like some of his stuff

NOTHING (after a few drinks) will get me singing & dancing quicker than Copocobana

''Her name was Lola......she was a showgirl........''

BARRY MANILOW!!! BIG GREEN BARFY FACE!!!!

Talking of cheesy artists...does anyone else like Michael Buble????...... again & I like to say his name

I really did believe that I was the only one who thought that this very average singer is ridiculously overrated. Should've known you guys would agree. Whenever I hear a song of his, I just wish he'd SHUT UP so that I could hear the fabulous arrangement behind him.

This new piece of info TOE-tully clinches it for me!!!!!

Can't deny I'm still apprehensive about the shoes tho.

Aren't women's shoes FAR more easily greenified than men's????

Great guffaw, here, picturing the search for passable men's shoes that are, in fact, entirely green. Keep seeing the long, curled-up-and-over toes with bells hangin' off 'em...that may be what you're faced with, Tom. But hey, it's a million bucks.....

Oh right ... ... .EVERYthing's a coincidence now .. . . ..

And on the very day of an Absintheteur's ascension??

Em needs to revisit my treatise on www.there'sareasonforeverything.com, particularly the "free will, free shmill" subtopic.

Jack knew....he just knew....he could've said purple, or black....but no. Absentheteur's Ascention called for green, of course. It all makes sense, now.....

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!

There's like.......1000 AND 1 songs of his that could be 'your song' <gag>

<playing in London in July>

GO BOOB-LAY

Bucket anyone???????????

[jerseyangel]

Nikki said "boob-lay"

[blueeyedmanda]

Well. The sad news is, Mr. JR (secret agent freak man) used to play that Sade C D all the time in Big Sur, so it's ruined for me forever......

so funny you say this, I have Sade by my side on my Ipod....and I just listened to it at lunch.....feel free to bash!

***New post on Yahoo's celiacbayarea re: beer: ***

"BevMo stocks three, THREE brands of gluten-free beer now!

Redbridge, Bard's Tale, and a line of Belgian beers, Green's.

Green's is available in three types, ranging from stout to lager-like. I've bought but haven't sipped yet. "

THREE new gluten-free beers to try!!!!!!

I'm in heaven!!

What's next? A new WhFds opening around the corner???????????????????

(I've been meaning to mention this - there IS a new WhFds opening ~1/2 mile away!!! It's actually on the way to the nearest big-chain groc, a Safeway!! But they've had all sorts of delays, incl property owner dying , and now say "early 2009". )

For the time being I fill the void by shopping at Wegmans

Billy Joel is coming to Hershey Park arena this July!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Somehow I had the feeling there was SOMEthing barring a blissful "By Your Side" sing-along.

(I don't suppose there's any chance that song ISN'T on that C D?)

Susie HATES musicals, so you know that that means. especially at the place we're seeing it...

OMG this brings back the age-old paradox.

"If you love me you'll _________"

"If YOU loved ME you wouldn't ask me to __________"

ha ha - My cousin and I decided (one of the aunts is her mother) that they aren't evil at all, just very selfish. I hope to God that they leave it to the five grandchildren of the wonderful old Southern gent who bought it......then I would be part-owner. (huge smiley face)

Well then *I* hope to God there aren't that many other options.

excellent proclamation

Since the assigned day for the First Absinthe-Enlightened Royal Inaugural Event is decidedly dis-static, I deign that Dingy's & SquatsW/Same shall participate prior to The Play!!!!!!!

(Isn't there a BevMo in town??)

Just one or two tho - Oscar Wilde's quote is that "One drink & you see things as you wish they were. Two drinks & you see things as they are not"

I should think EYE-thur should suffice.

I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop it! Tom's posts are getting too long and confusing again. He is tippling that phaerie every day, I can feel it.

I knew I'd gotten a lil long-winded yesterday, but .. . .. .. .oh no! . .. .not recalling any attempts to be overly clever, which I've often blamed for past confusion.

And no daily phaerie, just nightly.

No no no not that EYE-thuh

I found you some Open Original Shared Link, Tom . . . and they are all the rage now, so nobody will be pointing and laughing. Howevah . . . 30 years from now when you are wearing them with your green tube socks and green shorts pulled up to your armpits . . . well, that's a different story.

Me, too, upon reflection. And Jack has said that the clothes would be supplied. This saves us shopping big-time.....

Actually, I think I would be out . . . do you realize that if you're not picking out your clothes, you have to wear whatever hideous clothing (color or style) that they give you . . . they could dress you up as a Open Original Shared Link . . if I got to pick out my own, I'd do it.

Squats - I like your new av. My MaggieDog used to sit like that on stairs sometimes. Always cracked me up when she did that.

Quit your braggin', mister!!!!

OK . . . update on kids. . . somebody asked, don't remember who . . .

Well, I sent him to school!!! Yes!! That's right!! I ignored the 24hr fever-free policy and sent him to school. I gave him motrin last night and he perked right up. Fever never came back. I told him to sleep-in in the morning and then we would decide at lunch if he should go to school. So he actually got up 30 minutes earlier this morning. Then he was playing his ds lite before breakfast (since he was up so early) and started singin' and dancin' around because he got past some gremlin or other. A little bit later I asked if he thought he should go to school this morning and he kept looking away and then said "I don't know" which here means that he feels fine but he doesn't want to tell me because he's trying to salvage his morning off. Every so often, when he has a cold (which he does now) he will run a fever (100-101) for about a 4 to 8 hour period and then it's done. I made the executive decision that that is what was going on. He's home from school now and is still runnin' strong.
