The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[elye]

So, Chuck and Camilla hit town last evening, and will be milling about at our National War Memorial tomorrow for all of the ceremonies. Thank goodness I found this article:

Now I'm clear on how to properly conduct myself should I suddenly be seated with them at a dinner engagement, or positioned behind them at the grocery store, aerobics class, etc.

A great article, full of vital bits of advice:

At a recent media briefing, however, the question of whether the royals had received a flu shot went unanswered in the name of medical and personal privacy, so it might be wise to always carry a jar of hand sanitizer with you, and don't hesitate to use it immediately following any physical contact with the Prince and Duchess. A mask might not be a bad idea, either.

Jeese Em, it's a good thing you got yer shot--just in case you find yerself rubbing elbows wif the royal couple

[Jestgar]

Members of the royal family, it is noted, enjoy eating the food and drink of the country or region they're visiting. So break out the BeaverTails, poutine, maple syrup and Bloody Caesars

[jerseyangel]

Hee! Beaver tails

I can nae believe Em has never mentioned this!

[Mtndog]

Hello me psillies- Yes, it has been quiet here! I don't know where I've been?

Ah yes, I know, staying away from all the vomit stories because I vomit at the drop of a hat (please- don't drop yer hats right now )

Heading out to see "The Men Who Stare at Goats"... .. .....looks phab .. .....

How was it? It looks great!

Raychelle- all your posts x 10

Mine had projectile vomit....it hit the wall and slowly slid down.

Egads! that's the worst!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I ever tell you guys that in my "letter of application" (I use that term loosely) for my preschool position, I informed the director that I don't gag at the smell (or sound)of vomit? I'm pretty sure that's why I got the job.

That and yer spelling abilities! I spell fo-net-ick-lee.

Silver lining on an otherwise crappy evening,

I bid on and won a romantic trip for 2 to Victoria BC to stay at the Fairmont Empress!! Think I should take the hubby or find someone worthy of a romantic weekend??

That rocks! Jealous!!!!!!!!!!

Morning Psillies. Cinnamon rolls are rising. They shall be ready in about 1 1/2 hours. That should be plenty of time for you all to get here. I shall expect you shortly.

Got any left? <drooldrooldrool>

Just a poop in. God, I miss talking about poop and vomit, not having to worry bout spellin and "Perfect English" and being uncerimonially un civilized! My computer crashed and I can't afford a new one. Just wanted to thank you all for the many times you've lifted my spirits. Hope to poop in now and then, but access is hard now. You all sound so good and I miss ya!

Sleezen

We miss you Sleezen!

When did Jesus become a psilly???????????

Ba ha ha! can you imagine greeting the royal couple in an N95 mask?

Yum....beaver tails!

Barack apparently grabbed one when he was here.... ...... . ..

Men Who Stare at Goats....... . ..well, the premise was funnier than the movie, methinks. Mildly entertaining, and staying power due to it being based on a true army regiment back in the 60's.

Actually, the TRUE staying power came, entirely, from the fact that George Clooney is in practically every scene, and I will sit and stare at him doin' just about anything for two hours... . .....

Not unlike the pizza fritte I enjoyed growing up in an Italian household.

AHA!!!

Everything I ever needed to know in one post!!!

(Beaver tails, George worth a look if only to ogle at etc... etc)

gluten-free Beaver tailz???...... go ON...you know you want to try......

_{<I think we should nominate Ray-shull for this task!!>}

[elye]

Yep, I just know Chaz (it's 'our' Chuck) & Milly will ADORE the poutine!!

Those two look, um, frightfully.. . ................alike. As in, close blood relatives. Quite arresting - - all the pics I've been seeing of them have their faces set in EXACTLY the same expression.......the same noses, same small, heavy-lidded round eyes, angular face shape and chin unbelievably similar... . ......

Whot in hell? Is they cousins, then?

Sooo Em, is it worth going to see George staring at goats??

YESSSSSSSSS.. . ..... .. . . he is quite splendid. I find him much more attractive than Edward... .. ....but then I'm an old hag.

I know! How do I do it?

Thank GAWD there are no gluten-free beaver tails around. . ....... ... .. . I do NOT wanna encourage this. ... . ..

My boss told me today that he cannot understand why they cast "that guy" to be Edward, as he is so ugly and has the grossest hair--God help me I almost backhanded him! But George is hot too

Our OSU team here are the Beavers, I work with 2 of them, LOTSA beaver jokes around here, however, you must check out the mascot to my sister's college-talk about vulgar--don't forget to read the fight song!!

Nothing frightful about fried dough in the shape of a beaver tail! Unless it's not gluten-free..........oh I want one. My mouth just got wet :lol:

Chaz and Milly? Sounds like me 80 year old aunt and uncle.

Why doesn't George do anything for me? Never has....I can appreciate him aesthetically but nope, not dreamy. He's aging quite elegantly though.

I much prefer rougher men like Anthony Kiedis (RHCP), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) and Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) and.........Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall

Everyone in that movie is beautiful. Julia Ormond is breathtaking! Ethereal.

Ok- must come clean. My name means "girl from the beaver meadow" in Olde English. Thus the nickname Beaverly :ph34r:

A solemn day here in Ottawa..... ...will be heading down to the War Memorial for 11 o'clock with the Ripper -- he's not so solemn, as his school has the day off.

Almost every Remembrance Day that I can recall has been cold, rainy and miserable here, something challenging but fitting to stand through at the ceremonies. Today, however, is beautiful -- bright sun and 9C.

My dad did not see action during WWII.....he guarded German prisoners at the Trenton base. Many of the detainees, young, scared kids like himself, became his friends, and I still have three beautiful wooden carvings that prisoners whittled away at as they passed the time in their cells, and gave to Dad when he openly admired them.

I will certainly look at them today, and think of my dad laughingly trying to translate a joke into German, or helping the young wounded soldier with a mangled hand write a letter home .

I wonder if he was ever dressed as a sumo wrestler, or an old, matronly lady, back in those prison-camp days. . .. .......

Your kids have the day off??

We just had Rememberance Sunday, where the Queen attends the Cenotaph

....I think people are more aware of it now... with boys dying everyday in Afghanistan

The 2 min silence was observed in Tescos

DOMESTIC CRIMES!!!!!!!!!!!........ having decided to strip ALL the beds my washing machine has refused to co-operate

...am up to knee level in dirty laundry and a machine full of sodden washed clothes that won't spin.

Fan-F***IN-TASTIC :insertsarcasticface:

Repair man is coming TUESDAY (wih???).....alls I can say is he better have HUMUNGOUS thumbs

I TOO am an old hag AND an old cougar

The man IS A PHOOL!!!! ...SLAP him!!!!!!!

The last line of 'let it all hang out' particulary appeals to me for some reason

...but really, 'GEODUCK????'...that is a weird thing

BEAverlee likes Brad!!!!!

Too 'pretty boy' for me (...OK, ok, I know Twilight's 'Edward' is pretty too..... I confuzzled meselph )

Thinking about you up there today, Em. Glad you have a nice day in which to attend the Memorial.

At the very least!!! Didn't you just have heinoUs laundry crimes?

SOOOoooooooooo, back to hand washing me smalls

Beautiphul day again here today Humidity has gone back down fer the moment and it's a cool morning. I have been doing Pilates, and thought I'd crank up the ole treadmill. As soon as I turned it on, it tripped the circut box Good thing my Pilates machine is equipped wif a rebounder (fer the cardio part )

<musing....> I hate getting old....it's all maintainance now.....

Good news is that Mark installed a TV on the wall in there fer me, but of course that got "tripped" too. I just did me routine and then schlepped out to the circut box....hoping no one would see me in me shorts and tank top I phigure that is not how I need to present meselph to any neighboUrs wif whom I have not had the pleasure to meet--and any poor innocent younguns who may be in the vicinity
