Nik doesn't know informercials??????? probably just an American bit of buffoonery.....

NIK! You absolutely DO have infomercials across the Pond....some of the best, I'd judge:

We could use some o' those in our next parade. . . . . ...

OMG - I don't know why this didn't occur to me until just this minute - - Patti's refrigerators are named after my dad and my stepdad

my dad's name was Steve (Stephen) and my stepfather is Wayne

what does it mean??? what can this mean?

WOW........ . . . . . . This absolutely HAS to mean something significant. . . . . ...there are no coincidences. . . . . ....

....But WHAT??..... . . ....

Soooozle's dad and stepdad..........refrigerators. .. . . .....

They both cool guys?.... .. . ..

Boris is playing football with an errant grape that Al dropped :-)

Jack flushed a live mouse down the terlet? WOT? poor, wee thing

Do you think it could swim??

WHAAAAAATTTT??????????

I have never seen owt like that!!!......entertaining buffoonery nonetheless

The Steve and Wayne connection HAS to mean summat, don't it??

[jerseyangel]

The Steve and Wayne connection HAS to mean summat, don't it??

Wow

If you remember, Em named Wayne and I named Steve--sillie connection????? I think so

I love this kinda stuff!

Hee! Late night buffoonery--have ya'll seen the guy wif the chamois cloth? I'll have to try and find it

[elye]

Do you think it could swim??

This was a huge concern for Jack.....he did NOT want to kill the wee thing, but he didn't think he could get it out the cat door without it squirming out of his fingers.....the toilet was quite close, so in a mad, stress-laden decision, that's where it went. . . . .....

I'm sure it could swim. . . .....just not fer too long. I think it's all kind of bugging Jack, now....post-traumatic guilt, and all.

"You did that mouse a huge favour, Jack!", I've been saying reassuringly, "He would have faced a horrid, long, torturous death at the claws of Bryce, had you not stepped in. He was probably half-dead when you got to him, anyway".

Jack is just looking sad and resigned , quietly saying, "I dunno......he was squirming pretty hard". . . . . ......

HEY! It's just a mouse!

[jerseyangel]

Poor Jack I understand how he feels, but I do agree that the mouse probably would have died as a result of the bite anyway--it just would have taken longer.

Pheel better, Jack

OMG....THE CHAM-WOW??

[jerseyangel]

OMG....THE CHAM-WOW??

Yes! That's so funny they made a song out of it!!

[DingoGirl]

WOW........ . . . . . . This absolutely HAS to mean something significant. . . . . ...there are no coincidences. . . . . ....

....But WHAT??..... . . ....

Soooozle's dad and stepdad..........refrigerators. .. . . .....

They both cool guys?.... .. . ..

cool guys?

okay well.......my dad was THE smartest man I've ever known - just tortuously and lethally smart, and hardly liked any people at all - introverted and quiet, he had just a handful of very close friends and, kind of worked himself to an early grave. Loved my mom, worked very hard and excelled in his career, and liked things very quiet and orderly.....he was only a tiny bit sillie, goofy with us sometimes but.....not much. My mom - now as you know Janie is wackl They really loved each other and loved all the same things, adn I always remember them either sitting in their room with the fire going at night, reading, chatting, watching summat on the telly, or outside in nice weather, sitting on the back patio, drinking wine and holding hands.

Wayne.......stepdad....polar opposite!!!! His parents moved to that rip-roarin' Central Valley stink town (dairy stink) called Chowchilla during the Dust Bowl and are literally Dust Bowl Oakies! He is quiet, amiable, simple, works veyr hard and is excelling in the career that he found later in life (real estate), is very kind to us and to all and very loyal, and has never read a book in the whole time my mom's known him (my parents devoured books together), and has not ONE SHRED of sillie. (drives me mum nuts) They love each other very much, but don't love the same things. He is, um, as far right a Republican that you can possibly be. We NEVER discuss politics But I like him quite a lot.

both are white men, average size, and, I don't think they make ice. :lol:

and there you have Soozle's history of the two father figgers in her life *snort*

WHAAAAAATTTT??????????

I have never seen owt like that!!!......entertaining buffoonery nonetheless

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

okay that is NOT the infomercials of which I speak. oh no. That was entertaining, silly, slightly wackl and tongue-in-cheek, no?

I am talking about......the Magic Bullet.....the Jack Lalanne Juicer.....The exercise videos...the fake talk shows, with a "guest" being queried by a "host" about some ridiculous product....the really, really bad ones with the fake audiences who make "ahhhhhhh" noises on command and stare at each other whilst smiling eagerly and nodding their heads

Hilariously boring

the cham cloth video fantastic.....they remind me of those two guys in Flight of the Conchords

Wow

If you remember, Em named Wayne and I named Steve--sillie connection????? I think so

I love this kinda stuff!

I just can't figure.......but what DOES it mean and.......

I'm more concerned that it took me.......two days to make the connection that both were named after me mum's husbands

poor Jack! yes, tell him the mouse would have had a savage fate at the hands of Kittehs

Hi SIllies

Just a quick poop in.....it's a blizzard here!! Lots and lots of snuagh.

Theresa, sorry about the cut backs. Hope evertyhing works out ok

Amanda, have fun with your college girls!

Nikki, did you survive your second attempt at quinoa (that was the black arts you were speaking of right? LOL)

Patti, that's right...you kind of are part of tornado alley there aren't you?? Stay safe!

Aww EM, how very traumatic for Jack

BUFFOONERY is now my new favorite word. Thanks Suze

[DingoGirl]

Jules! nice to see you, though you sound.....quiet. I hope you're feeling okay....a blizzard? we have almost 80 degrees here

Sillies - - some trauma in the orchard, and I don't know the outcome....

We walked into our sneak entrance, and at the very far end (maybe half a mile away) we saw a very large creature pass from orchard to fence, then just stand there....Weez approached cautiously, and I caught up.

Well, it was a very tall dog, maybe 150 pounds, mostly Great Dane, limping badly and...scared to death. Growling fiercely and hair raised at Weez. Very obviously in pain.

It took me 10 minutes to get close to him, very, very slowly.....and another five to get my hand near his collar. so, I finally was able to touch the collar - had to PRAY to read the writing on it as didn't have my glasses! pharking loss of vision VERY bad in an emergency!

I was finally able to make out the number, adn called......got a little girl with quavery voice who burst into tears when I asked if they had a dog named Louie.....

Louie had been hit by a car this morning, whilst out running with the dad, and ran away....they've been looking for him all day.

So, I met the dad out in front of the orchard, and we ran back to Louie, who freaked out and ran AWAY from his dad, clear out the other exit of the orchard! (is that normal? I can't imagine Weez running away from me in that situation?)

So - I never saw either of them again - they both ran, Louie's foot is mostly likely broken (according to the dad), and they both were running out onto the street when I last saw them.

Oh Sills, I am tempted to drive my car back out there and wait by the man's car, to see what happened but....my heart can't take any bad news. He was the most BEAUTIFUL, big boy, with fearful, solemn, light golden brown eyes.

At least he was running in the direction of home when I left......

gah! I think I'll make a fuzzy now..........

[elye]

Soooozle! What a sad story. .. . SO good that you were there at the right time, and got the family's phone # and called them......you know, there aren't a lot of people who would do that (can you imagine? ).....

Ya did all you could, Soooze!

[jerseyangel]

OMG Suz--it's lucky that you happened upon the poor thing and called the owner. You did do all you could, and more than a lot would. Hopefully, Louie's owner caught up with him and got him to the vet. I'm sure that when he was able to get on his trail, he would get to him sooner or later.

Em.....I saw you over on another thread organizing a parade!!! Are you two timin' us, er sumphin????

[elye]

Em.....I saw you over on another thread organizing a parade!!! Are you two timin' us, er sumphin????

Ya let me out, and look what happens. . . ... ..

I think we should just recruit all those posters over here into Psillyville. . ... .. ..

[DingoGirl]

Em.....I saw you over on another thread organizing a parade!!! Are you two timin' us, er sumphin????

WHOT? she woz? why that little minx

Well - - I went into "dialed numbers" on my cell and called Louie's family, I just can't stand not knowing........though I really don't want any bad news on that beautiful boy

left them a message to call me - we will see

I just had a glass of wine....no fuzzies today.....but might smoke half a clove in back yard - don't tell anyone

OH!!!!!!!!!!!! Louie's owner just called me!!!!!!! HE IS OKAY!!!!!!!! He ran adn ran and kept running, ran all the way home, got there and ran upstairs into his bed......they took him to the vet and, no broken bones, just a bad bruise and sprain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love him...........I love the happy ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥♥♥♥

YAYYYYY!!!!

Hey......How did Nikerler's Mission Quinoa execute? Have heard nowt. . . . . ...... . ...

[DingoGirl]

:wub: my heart is filled with joy that Louie made it home!!!!!!!!!!! Should have taken his picture on me cell phone........magnificent, he woz but just so scared.

I'm going to have to start carrying me magnifying glasses with me everywhere, for gawd's sake

Yes......Nik's second foray into the dark arts wondering how it went.....I am just worried that the wee grains will taste like soap?

I am quite intrigued by Bob's pre-rinsed quinoa and must find this........

Park Service is all in a tizzy. Lots of changes in Law Enforcement (which our department falls under), much of which we are not thrilled about, tho' the reasoning is understandable (I guess). We still don't know the extent of the fallout, so we'll see. Much staff cutting going on. Hours are being cut, re-organized, twiddled with . We'll know soon enough. Would like definitive answers so I can make decisions on how to best deal with it all. Hate being left hanging (Andy Rooney pops into my brain to whisper in his nasally voice.."don't you just hate that?" )

Glad to read you all, and am chuckling at the psilliness. Psuess....I love your happy ending! Pah-tay survived the tornado...yay! Knew you would!

Twilight zone mysteries....Steve and Wayne ...luv it! (My ex was Steve....not normal.....not black....did not make ice but used a lot of it in mixed drinks ......I've known several Waynes....did not like any of them )

Karry on all......long live the psilly!

Things are so much easier to handle when you know what you're dealing with. Hope they don't keep you hanging for long

[jerseyangel]

Suz--I enjoyed hearing the story of yer dad and stepdad

I've only known one Wayne--he is actually an old friend of Mark's. He's a good guy, but a bit of a wimp and pear-shaped at that. Not nice of me, but true

[DingoGirl]

PEAR - SHAPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

that cracked me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
