The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

Amanda, when Jacquie and I were in Orlando, we went to the space center. This was in 1996. There were two tours available, one of the civilian NASA-operated Kennedy Space Center, and one of the more historic Cape Canaveral Air Force Station where the earlier missions were launched. We did both. I would do it again. It was a much more enjoyable day than the one we spent at Disney World.

I read a lot of books, and am currently reading "The Mushroom Man" by Stuart Pawson. It is a murder mystery set in England in the south of Yorkshire. The protagonist is Detective Inspector Charlie Priest, and when the story is from his point of view, the narration is in the first person. I read this passage this afternoon. Charlie is speaking.

I grabbed my book of numbers an wrote out a few for Gilbert. After stuffing a few plastic bags in my pockets I was down the stairs faster than a lighthouse keeper with diarrhoea and an outside toilet.

That image was just so, well, celiac that I had to share it with my silly friends.

Where'd everybody go? Did Lisa show while I wasn't lookin'? ;p

Am I the only

One who sees

That you're the one

Who's asking please

Where did all

The sillies go?

Are you sure

You want to know?

So why did all

The sillies flee?

Look who's askin'

'Cause it wasn't me!!!!!!

[curlyfries]

<what's an a$$ cracker??>

Seriously?......I thought someone would have answered this by now.......maybe I've been hangin' around middle school kids too long.

She wants to know if he prefers dudes.

[curlyfries]

What the heck is "warn(0%)" doing under my posts count? Did someone not like my last statement?

Wow another poet! Well done

I don't see any "warn(0%)" by your post count btw, and never heard of such a thing. Moderators know?

[Daxin]

Obviously, this spammer must have nothing better to do today than to tell us about "pizzle enhancers????" Sounds like a personal problem to me!

Perhaps he should just go out and buy a sports car like every other guy who's trying to compensate for something. It's bad enough that we all get this garbage in our emails.

Well, g'night sillies.

[tom]

Such d%$#@#$ baggery!!!!! Now MINE says "warn (0%)"!!

That image was just so, well, celiac that I had to share it with my silly friends.

"Lighthouse D" belongs in the lexicon

In the context I'd always seen a$$cracker, it seemed more a combo of a$$hole and the southern usage of cracker, like an ignorant bumpkin.

[DingoGirl]

Although, Em may have somphin there with the other boob thing

'twas not the other boob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susie, you must 'fess up, my dear!

Okay...........here's what happened. and I am a compleeeeeeeeeeeet eejit.

We went to a restaurant where I have been at least a DOZEN times since dx, and eaten safely. There is a wonderful kitchen manager there, with whom I usually speak - no problems, EVER.

Well............Saturday night, after a coupla mojitos, this is where we went, and we had a new, young waiter. I told him about my issues, but quite briefly.............ordered shrimp w/ garlic/butter/white wine and asparagus. He assures us this is okay.

I ate my shrimp..........but noticed that there seemed to be a .........mealy? quality to the shrimp.......as if coated with something. I paid no heed and kept going.

Sunday, I was not well..........but attributed it to mojitos and - later - red wine. Yes, Kissey and I do like to get our drink on...........so I thought this, on Sunday, was the problem........more..... beverage than usual.

So - I ate the leftover shrimp/asparagus (which were so pithy and undercooked as to feel like eating a TREE TRUNK ) on Sunday..........and today.............. many, many trips to toilet and my BRAIN??????? As bad as it can be, my friends. Crying, emotional, dramatic, and thinking the darkest thoughts ever. I put it together..........our restaurant had failed us as there had been nothing else suspicious or not made from home.

Today's depression was quite dramatic.......horrible...very sad. Dark thoughts.

But - - I have gone to Save Mart and purchased ONLY safe, whole meats/fish/poultry/veggies/fruits - -have to be pure again and make myself right. HARRUMPH!!!!!!!!!!! Been living dangerously because I am trying to seem......normal..........going out and ordering things and eating other things that seemed....easy and right......but not being careful. BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!

I now know that I have to be more strict. Kissey can do his own things away from me and even with me but........*I* have to be quite careful as cannot afford to be this messed up.

and there you have it, phfriends. Susie is a careless, daredevil, gluten-brained, reckless eejit.

oh MOST excellent, Leighsah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHHHHHHAT? I had NO idea this is what this meant...........I think I intend a much more innocent and traditional meaning - - another word for a$$hole. That's all........ didn't know it got so technical.............

I swear Susie - I do NOT know how you can post all day seeming like your usual Dingo self (well, not 100%, but .. ..you know) under these circumstances.

:sadfaceunderraincloud: <-----Dingy

Reckless no mo' sounds very right.

I had the same shrink in Monterey for five years, once to twice a week. Loved her. She knew, if I ever lost my sense of humoUr (which is somehow a detached portion of my brain, and works better in writing than in person) that things were very, VERY dire......she considered hospitalizing me a few times.....and in hindsight, I wish I'd gone. Would have given more credibility to my struggles............but I fought like hell to stay out, because I had a wonderful mom, and dingo whom I could not leave, and would recuperate at the Janie sanitarium.

night, sillies. Bad day, but half the carpet is shamPOOed, tomorrow, the rest. :weaksmile:

I'm all for ya being more reck than reckless, but it's not like you scarfed a bunch of tollhouses or tried a new place w/out talking about gluten-free.

Hey Em, I just saw the Corner Gas w/ Brent losing his hair and the one where he gets his parents to make a will.

It just gets phunnier & phunnier the more I see it!!

Anyone else a Corner Gasser?

[nikki-uk]

Douche Baggery AND 0% WARNINGS!! to you all on this dull, wet, damp, wet rainy, non arrid day (did I mention wet?? )

<Yes, Nicola IS wearing her trainers sneakers WITH socks as she waits for the call for the feet transplant>

...but wait!!!....news in from Poeter

And soon it will be summer. Just 17 days, 22 hours and 41 minutes to go as I type this.

YIPEE!!!!!!

Actually here (or maybe with you too? ) the 20th June is 'Summer Solstice' or Midsummers Day.

...MIDSUMMER????????.......you mean half of it's gone????????? .....GADS!!..and it's still not warm enough to go out without a jacket?!?!

GAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies!!!!

Nikki-you said John's favorite word...d%$#@#$ Bag!!!!

How are all my sillies this morning.....you know its Tuesday and like one of my coworkers who just arrived said....1 day closer to the weekend!

[elye]

And... .. .Zero Percent Warnings back to everyone! 'Tis also wet and cool here - - but dogs do not care about such things.. .. .will need to take them out regardless.

Did I mention that Elsie has put on five pounds since we've had her? No more angular boniness to her frame, and her back legs do seem stronger. Such a happy girl.....

Elsie and Gus are currently sprawled out on the office floor behind me, chewing on each other's ears. When they are finished with each other they always approach me in a rush, completely covered in slobber (greenguy)......

Susie, what did you do about all the playful dingo slobber?!

She wants to know if he prefers dudes.

Gaaaahh! Teen trash-talk.. ...how very....graphic and.. ...ewwwww.

Hey Em, I just saw the Corner Gas w/ Brent losing his hair and the one where he gets his parents to make a will.

It just gets phunnier & phunnier the more I see it!!

I'm telling you, it becomes an addiction. It is the one show that I will make plans not to miss. Since you're a Gas Newbie, you're lucky to have six whole seasons' worth to enjoy. Last night's show was heeeeeeee-larry-us: Emma leading off a town council project - - a Senior Ladies of Dog River Calendar, proceeds going to filtration plant clean-up......OMG...

Emma and Oscar's estate planning! The couch!

I say we don our most hippyesque clothes, get down to Open Original Shared Link and party the night away!!!!!!!!!!

Now, all those blokes wouldn't be imbibing, would they?

Mornin' Sillies

Boy, this warning thing has people in a tizzy! I just logged on--can everybody now see their own, or does everyone see everyone else's? I'm confuzzled

Ah Suzzle--the restaurant meal Well, you tried to get a safe meal--that's really all you could have done. The safe foods prepared at home should have you back in the pink before too long. My last glutening (the dates ) lasted 10 days, so be patient

I see Judy!

Em--your two pooches nibbling each other's ears--so cute!

Nik--still soggy, are ya? Glad to hear you're keepin them feet in sneekers!

I had a dream last night about Jess Alls I remember was she lived in a cool loft and had lots of people around.

[elye]

I have no warning percentages beside me. I would think that not being part of this Visible Percentage Warning Club (VPWC) matters not, but by the sounds of things, it's currently de rigueur... ... .

I had a dream last night about Jess Alls I remember was she lived in a cool loft and had lots of people around.

Question: I have not as yet had any dreams involving Sillies, so I am curious as to how it will transpire when it does happen - - since we don't really know what Jess looks like, what did she look like in your dream, Patti? How did you know it was her? Did she have to tell you who she was? "Hey - - it's me.....you know.. ..Sillyville Jess"....

Others have had Citizens of Sillyville dreams....how do we know that we're dreaming of one another?!

Nikki! You dreamed of me being quite wealthy and b!tchy....What did I look like? Was I lovely? Did I start to run, and look like a cow?

[elye]

AH!... .... . .. ...There it suddenly is.... ... ... ...I am part of the Zeros... .. .....

[Jestgar]

I have to post just so I can see my warning level

Hmm, cool loft. I'll have to work towards that.

The new cats are getting weened off canned food. They are certain that this signals impending death by starvation.

[blueeyedmanda]

Sillies....it is supposed to be 90 out on Friday!!!!! Woo-hoo Summer is here!

[nikki-uk]

Now, all those blokes wouldn't be imbibing, would they?

....maybe .....

Boy, this warning thing has people in a tizzy! I just logged on--can everybody now see their own, or does everyone see everyone else's? I'm confuzzled

Patti's in a tizzy, quite confuzzled!!! ................at least she's not pizzled

Suzzle

OMG!!!!

Susiepiggle suzzle!!!!!!!!!!

Nik--still soggy, are ya?

Why yes Paddeigh, I am

Nikki! You dreamed of me being quite wealthy and b!tchy....What did I look like? Was I lovely? Did I start to run, and look like a cow?

Well now, you looked as you do in yer pics - frightfully stylish (absolutely NO mooing OR swinging of udders) in a black Yves St Laurent trouser suit

[Darn210]

I keep seeing that topic . . . Food Attachment Issues . . . and keep reading it as Foot Attachment Issues and thinking that Nikki is working out the logistics of her Feet Transplant.

[jerseyangel]

Sillie Em...I've seen Jess, she had an av up a while back taken while on a trip. Also in that dream was the man who bought our house last summer.....I wish to heck I could remember more cuz' it was probably a good 'un

I don't dream all that often, or at least remember them, but when I do it seems that everything is all there at once

Weird.....and quite exhausting

On to more important news.....I fit into my size 10 crop pants as of this morning!!! And not lay-on-the-bed-and-hold-my-breath-so-I-can-zip- them, either Stood there and zipped 'em right up! I kept them hanging in my closet for 2 years, never giving up hope

[DingoGirl]

Susie, what did you do about all the playful dingo slobber?!

Well, Em, dingos don't slobber!!!!!!! Annie does, however, foam at the mouth and have shoestring spit ONLY and I mean ONLY at the dog park. 'tis most curious.........

So glad your standards are enjoying each other, and Elsie, gaining weight and strength!

I have no warning percentages beside me. I would think that not being part of this Visible Percentage Warning Club (VPWC) matters not, but by the sounds of things, it's currently de rigueur... ... .

I don't have this either. OMG - does this mean - we're not even worthy of being told that we have no warnings?

YAYYY! Good news, Patteigh. I'm still hanging onto the 4's - but doubt I even SHOULD see that number again.......and know I won't anyway. <stupid absorption>
