The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[celiac-mommy]

Gad's Shrooms you had quite an adventure!! I always wanted to go to Austrailia--until I heard about the giant spiders. The ones that hide in your shoes were what did me in. No visiting for this arachnaphobe!!

Ja-gnit, I will pile on all the new info and see if anything jives. Will let you know what I find out!!

Pateh, I'm afraid that the ice cream will push me off the wagon. I have not given it just yet, I did have some "non-dairy" creamer that I looked at the label later and saw it contained milk proteins in it, and now my face is all broken out, so at the moment, the ice cream does nae look attractive...however, the girl scout cookie ice cream is out and the samoa is my super-fave

What a trooper, Neroli!!! What wif yer arm swellin' up and poison coursing thru yer veins!!! . . . By the way, I still plan to go to New Zealand sometime!!!. . . and since it costs so much to get there, I'm planning on staying with you!!!

Couple of the places on my list:

Alaska

New Zealand

Scottland

Ireland

Washington State

White-tailed spiders are supposedly not poisonous, just slightly "dirty" with what they inject in you so cause infection, but the bite was razor sharp and it left three! fang marks (is this even possible with arachnids??) The only mildly poisonous spider we have is the katipo, a relative of the black widow, which likes to cosy up to you in the sand dunes. So you will be quite safe here in my guest room!!

Anyhoo, t'is my right arm (bicep) sore today from all that directing "Your next room is this way, ladies" indicating with sweeping motion of right arm. Shows how much I need to return to my weight training Talk about a lack of fitness!!

That is quite a globe-trotting goal you have there, although I suppose you could do Scotland, Ireland and Iceland in one go. Doesn't sound much like a beach holiday But New Zealand is hard to combine with much else except the snake- and spider- and crocodile-infested Australia. You could maybe add Antartica to the schedule, but currently unless you plan on working on the ice, excursions are run only out of South America. We just send down the supplies and the manpower during the summer only. The last of the summer crew will be returning this month; the rest will be wintering over, in the dark

By the way, I just learned from something Scott posted on celiac.com that there is a company that runs gluten free cruises and trips. One of the cruises is the Inside Passage this May; it was a bit late to book for it this year, but maybe they will run it again. Would love to do that.

[celiac-mommy]

Well, technically I live in Washington State and you're more than welcome to stay with me Maybe I can go to New Xeland, but Australia is OFF my list!!

The tops of my list are:

New York

France

Italy

Ireland

Enland

Actually, I think I just need to take a year off and see all of Europe!

A shroomie update:

Holy Toledo, Shroomie

Take care o'that arm--how scary....I woulda freaked!! Get some rest--you deserve it!

Being a hostess sounds like phun, though.

Hee!--did you notice I called you Shroom on a 'regular' thread?

It's phunny--I was off all dairy for years, and tried it last summer and found I did ok wif it. I normally stick wif Greek yogurt and organic fat free milk in me tea.....last night's ice cream not withstanding

I also can't tolerate legumes, and I recently tried peanut butter again but no such luck there--those made me phace (chin) break out! Bah!

Wif those two little chin feet?

Speaking of Jack . . . I hit every red light on my way to work yesterday when I was already late as it was . . . found myself muttering "no way in hell I would sign up for this!!!"

[jerseyangel]

the chin pheet!!! I phorgot all about that!

[kareng]

I have missed much as I have been away to the Robot Wars (FRIST Robotics Competition). Looks like our school will be in the finals today!

To summerize briefly as I haven't much time:

Ballcocks - Hee Hee

Major post - Congrats

Phlugue - get better soon

Cough - What the French Toast?

Skeeter - poor kid

PI Rachelle - good investigating

Herding cats - will stick with glow in dark sheep

ice cream -Devil's temptation

old houses - Ooooooh!

spider bite - Ouch!

travel destinations - no one wants to come to Kansas?

Chin Pheet - probably best I missed that one

Well off to battle

Mornin peeps!

Me son is coming on Thursday :D He's having hand surgery on Tuesday and wif his surgeon's ok, will be convalescing here where I can see to that properly. Me other son will be taking him to and from the surgery center, so he's in good hands...but I still hate that I'm not going to be there....

We phigured that instead of me going up there, he would come here where it is nice and warm. Must get shopping fer groceries and a "regular" toaster.....gave him ours when we moved

Can nae wait to see him

Have phun today, Khar-in!! robot guts

[elye]

How terrific, Patteigh... . .a visit with your son! And how great for HIM that his mom is on board to take care of him. Will he climb into your and Mark's bed to convalesce? I remember SO clearly as a kid, when I had the phloo, how it always felt somehow better when I went and snuggled in my parents' big bed, and coughed and sweat and threw up from in there.

Couple of the places on my list:

Alaska

New Zealand

HEY! Where is Canada in these lists?

'Tis true, we don't often make many tourist wish lists. . . ... . .....we're missing history, big-time, and this is an important element, as least for me, in choosing where we're vacationing. But that's all we ain't got! We have the most beautiful coasts, mountains, hockey players.. . . poutine... . .... . .

I also can't tolerate legumes, and I recently tried peanut butter again but no such luck there--those made me phace (chin) break out! Bah!

Dear gawd... . .I have often thought about choosing the absolutely WORST thing I would have to endure food-wise, and the banishment of PB would be it. However, I would absolutely be ten pounds slimmer, immediately and forever.

Speaking of Jack . . . I hit every red light on my way to work yesterday when I was already late as it was . . . found myself muttering "no way in hell I would sign up for this!!!"

Yes, I have muttered this a few times since Jack posited The Choice for us, as I sat, teeth clenched, fist tapping the steering wheel with my eye on the digital clock at YET another red light... . ....

.. . . . . . .....But eyes shut for four days?.. .. . . . ... .

the chin pheet!!! I phorgot all about that!

BA HA! Me, too! Jyaghnutt! (Feel like I'm calling a dog to come and fetch somefin').. . .. ...Here, Jyaghnutt! Go and fetch the quote of Jack's question about the chin feet! Canna remember what the other choice was... . . . . . . . .. . . .. . . ....a li'l bum on yer forehead, was it?

[jerseyangel]

Caan remember what the other choice was... . . . . . . . .. . . .. . . ....a li'l bum on yer forehead, was it?

That's it!!! I could nae think of it last night--the wee bum

[elye]

Shroomster! Phorgot to mention how I enjoyed your account of your New Zealand House posting. .... . ..can picture you swooshing your right arm in the direction where you wanted the tourists to go. Did your wires and plugs and cables become entangled a t all?

Wow......spider bite. Yick. . . . .......this is one thing to put on the Official List of reasons one would WANT to visit Canada - - no biting spiders.

Here is our scariest arachnid, the Dock Spider. Harmless but large....they hang around under docks, boat houses, etc. Rah-shyellle, don't look - - just skip to the next post:

[Darn210]

Well, you know I can't resist a challenge . . . you don't even have to double dog dare me . . . Emily's post that started the chin feet/forehead butt debate . . . GAHHHHH!!!!! You guys need to read some of this. Sometimes we are just brilliantly funny!!!!

OMG....

Okay...Jack has another tough question for us all to debate.

Another choice to make:

You must choose either option, or you will be dead.

Would you rather have:

A small (but unproductive) butt on your forehead....

OR

Two little feet dangling from your chin?

[elye]

OMG. . . . . . ...... :lol: :lol:

How did he COME UP with such a thang?

And what in hell did we all choose??

[Jestgar]

And what in hell did we all choose??

um......Janet.....?

[Darn210]

OMG. . . . . . ...... :lol: :lol:

How did he COME UP with such a thang?

And what in hell did we all choose??

um......Janet.....?

You know, I really shouldn't . . . I should make you go look for yourselves . . .

Apparently, a bunch of us should be dead since we never actually picked even though we discussed it at great lengths . . .

The only people who made decisions . . .

Chin feet were chosen by tom, Juliem and Nikki

Butt heads were chosen by Patti, Bev, and ~alex~

( missing Psillies)

I apparently need to kick myself in the forehead butt and change my attitude . . . I was much funnier two years ago . . . perhaps I should drink more.

[psawyer]

I was much funnier two years ago . . . perhaps I should drink more.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Cheers!

Jan-it, you are phunny--just as much as you were then!!

Why not opt for both--would make for a better-balanced phace A triangle of horror, so to speak, with some judicious chin hairs just above the chin pheet. Sounds like a good look

OMG. . . ..... :lol: .. . ....... . .Triangle of Horror.. .. . . . .... :lol: ..... . . . . ...

Indeed. Just picturing this requires me to sit down and take a deep breath.

Yes, Jyaghnutt, you have ALWAYS made me larf. Must go back and read, but I KNOW that I am no longer particularly phunny. Yup, kick in the arse needed! Hopefully 'tis something that waxes and wanes, and I'll find some phunniness again. SOON.

On my list for today - - will ask Jack for another stupendous What Would You Choose? question. Perhaps he is no longer as phunny now that he is suddenly a teen. Hmmm. Hafta kick his arse... . . . ..

[Jestgar]

I'm sure my funny is somewhere at the bottom of that never-ending laundry basket.

Must head out for the walk. I have to be somewhere at 10 and my walks take about 2 hours.
