The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[Darn210]

Gianknit - The Reader.........my mum loved the movie.........must ponder........do you think anyone will mind if I show up with Weezee and Kit Kit?

Should nae be problem . . . as long as they get along wif the host's pet . . . I believe all but one of the ten have dogs and/or cats.

Janet, I am also jealous of yer book club. Sounds so fun and the book selections so interesting. Do you update on Good Reads?

Hi Jooleigh - Haven't updated on Good Reads in ages . . . . . . one of those things I'll get around to . . . I'm the one that started my book club. If I can do it, anybody can. My idea was to invite three people and then have each of them invite two people so that I wouldn't have to personally round up enough and I would also get a chance to meet/make some new friends. As it turned out, I ended up knowing everyone (except one) but I've gotten to know some a lot better than I did. Ten seems to be a good number . . . we usually have 6 or 7 at any particular discussion.

(did you guys know that I memorized pretty much the entire Les Mis soundtrack about 20 years ago? and this one's my theme song? And I have belted it out - in tandem with my niece or completely solo - in pubs, bars, dinner parties, family gatherings, anywhere)

Anybody else find this ironic???? . . . Suezzle's THEME song is from . . .*gasp* . . . a musical!!!????!!!!

I LOVED that book! Have you read "The Dogs of Babel" or "The Red Tent" or "Garden Spells"?

No, Yes(Really Liked It), No . . . I shall throw the two "No's" out to the group for potential book club reads.

Bevdearly - loved your poem for Joodeigh.

Buttercup on weed catnip -

Also loved the Dr. Seuss poem . . . who was that?? Geosse??

WHERE'S OUR DAMN RECIPE FOR CHOCOLATE PIG PIE????

*snort* . . . get it?? Funny? annnnnnd Pig?? Snort??

"This act is not unlike dances performed by football players after a touchdown." --direct quote from above

Is this like slapping yer mates on the behind? What will they think of next?

i must be really old or somethin--i just don't unnerstand kids dese days

I wonder if there's a support group for catnip users. Mayhap would go somethin like this:

Buttercup: Ok pee-pull, let's call this meeting to order. Now, who would like to start?

Simon: Hi every-bodee, I'm Simon.

All: Hi Simon!

Simon: I've been nip-free for a long time now, but it was bad, man, reeeeaaalll bad once. I even stole from my mom. Followed her around stoned all day, beggin for food.

Buttercup: Thanks for sharing Simon. Who'd like to go next?

"Tom" cat: Hi, I'm 'Tom'--

Buttercup: It's ok 'Tom', you don't have to use your real name. We understand...

"Tom": Catnip makes me happee. I Like catnip. It's...mellowwww.

Buttercup: Oh-kay. Thanks, Tom. And who's your friend? It's so nice to see a new face.

Tess: Hi. My name is Tess.

All: Hi Tess!

Tess: I've been off the wackl-weed for almost 60 days

Buttercup: That's great Tess! Now, please take your seat. Tess. Tess! Sit down!

Tess: What's in these Pounce treats, anyway? I feel cra-zee. Iz there gluten in this stuff, or what?

Buttercup: Alrighty, then. Group, who would like to share next?

Allo: 'Ello, guys. Allo here.

All: 'Ello, Allo!

Allo: I've been struggling with the cat-caine for years. Had me first taste when I was just a wee lad. Me peeps thought it would be cute to let me play with it, like it was all just a big joke or sumfin'! Now, I can't even sleep unless I got it on me head.

Buttercup: Ok, Allo. That's why we're here. It works if you work it! Next? You there, the shy one in the corner listenin to Les mis on yer mp3...

Kit-Kit: Uh, hi guys. I'm Kit (sniggers from the group). But--you can call me Nigel!

Lyle: Um, I'm Lyle, um and um, when the lady in the house shows me the tub, I, um stick my foot in and scoop out as much as I can.

and then I lay on it

and roll in it

and will do anything to protect my stash

and then I have the best nap

Buttercup: Look, group, a late arrival! Hi Lyle, and welcome. Yes, I think many of us here have had the experience of being kept in the cycle of addiction by our co-dependent enabling two-leggeds. (restless angry sounds from the group) But, that's ok. We're secretly plotting to overthrow our oppressors by slowly draining their wallets with our ridiculous gourmet food demands.

[Judyin Philly]

Oh MY god Bev

You just made me lose it.......can't even see to type

I'll be taking me sillies with me. how sweet of you to take the time to write that you gave me this smile

contractor was so nice and think he'll be perfect

i'm so out of it didn't even look at his thumbs, was too busy looking at his 'BIG' HANDS and he's so tall and rugged like a mountian man

I'm sure he can handle it all .

couldn't even read anything after Bev's poem

will be back

Thanks Bev

As me sister says WE FEAR CHANGE

I have to write a poem for Judith.

Judith's been working in the basement

All the live-long day.

She's been working in the basement

Just to pack her stuff away.

Don't you hear the wind blowing,

She had to rise up too early in the morn;

Don't you hear Jim shouting,

"Judith, pack me horns!"

Judith won't you pack,

Judith won't you pack,

Judith won't you pack Jim's porn horns?

Something's in the basement with Judith

Something's in the basement I know

Something's in the basement with Judith

making a dank wind blow.....................

[DingoGirl]

GAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: :lol: x 5,000

Mimms-o's CAT ADDICTION TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dear gawd - - phunniest thing EVER and no time to comment - must BE somewhere in 15 and am - not dressed and

no makeup and

PHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

more later

loved Lyle's drunken comments also - he seems quite stoned though

[elye]

Good lord, Raee-chull's Cat-nippers anonymous. . . . . . ....

Big Tom: It's taken over my whole life, man... . . . ..I rarely groom myself when I'm on the stuff. . . . . .... .my purring sounds like sitar music.... . . ..I crap in that box, stare at it, and the thought of burying it in litter just strikes me as hilarious, so I just leave it...... .I leave it, man!!!

contractor was so nice and think he'll be perfect

i'm so out of it didn't even look at his thumbs, was too busy looking at his 'BIG' HANDS and he's so tall and rugged like a mountian man

I'm sure he can handle it all .

Joooodie! This sounds suspiciously like OUR YETI!! Has he finally reappeared, this time as a handyman on Joodie's doorstep??!

[DingoGirl]

Anybody else find this ironic???? . . . Suezzle's THEME song is from . . .*gasp* . . . a musical!!!????!!!!

Yes. It's true. There are THREE musicals (maybe more, not counting childhood) from which I have memorized all songs. Well, 80 percent of songs. Les Mis is my fave book of my whole life, and not the condensed one, pholks, the really long one. Read it back when I had an attention span, in me twenties.

I'll never forget when I got to the ending, at 3 am........walked downstairs sobbing, and me mum was up still (I come by my insomnia honestly, and on both sides, you know). Sobbing and sobbing, she was so alarmed.....and I told her the story of Jean Valjean and Fantine and Cosette and Marius.

So yeah, I did see the musical in SF, was so bored I wanted to stab myself with a butter knife.....but sat through the entire three hours. Knowing. Every. Word. And. Still. Bored.

You just can NAE fit a 1200-word novel into a three-hour play. Crikey.

much, much more later.........must quote Mimmsy's entire Wackl Stoned Cat Capers post

(did you SEE that she had Kit AND Nigel in there? :lol: )

and put up the recipe sometime soon for Janie's Chocolate Pig Pie

HI JUDITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did they let you out of the basement???????????

[nikki-uk]

I AM SUSAN BOYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

AYe!!!, I've had ma suspicions for some time now......the hatred of all things musical?? (A COVER!!!)........the difficulty with the taming of the hair!! (on head AND eyebrows), .....,'nearly 48...never been married'

When I saw it this Saturday I KNEW!!!!!......she's a canny lass our Sooze ......( I think Simon 's her)

MIMI's catnip poem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOST EXCELLENT!!! (BTW...catnip has virtually NO effect on ma kitties ....I'm sure they got the 'antedote' at the vets )

JUDITH's released from the basement and the builder's got BIG hands???

OK see-leighs......am off on a countryside jaunt today to meet my friend who moved out there (HA! ..when you live in London anywhere that ISN'T London is 'the countryside' ....but this REALLY is a tiny village!!!)

She has BOUGHT A HORSE

I am askeert .... hold me... .....also allergic (taking goggles and a nose peg )

Hope everyone has a PHUNKY DAY!!!!!!

[elye]

Mornin', Peeps!

Dear gawd, this morning my inbox was full of messages - - FIVE of them from completely disassociated people, with the SOOOOOOZLE BOYLE youtube attachment in place.

AYe!!!, I've had ma suspicions for some time now......the hatred of all things musical?? (A COVER!!!)........the difficulty with the taming of the hair!! (on head AND eyebrows), .....,'nearly 48...never been married'

Like you, Nik, I was convinced after I'd seen the clip a couple of times that it was our Clovis Sooooze. Looking back, how obvious! How could we have not immediately known?? Same age, Les Mis obsession, flyaway hair, never married, quite erudite, brimming with emotion, looking like an individual who hadn't slept properly in some nights . . .... .. .....

Nik!! You must flood their phone lines with votes for our Sooooze! She is poised to win Britain's Got Talent!!

A PSILLY HITTING THE BIG TIME! GOING ON WORLD TOURS!

[flourgirl]

Mornin Psills! I just luv visiting Psillyville.....youse guys make my day! I really enjoyed the Suszle Boil video.....intend to pass that one on. So so nice to see someone who is not a Twiggy twin/ makeup Qween getting a chance at fame-dom!!!!!

OMG!!! We had a freeze here last night My poor tropical plants.....and many new perennials with very tender new growth are on my deck; getting acclimated to outside temps, getting ready to be planted or set in the gardens for summer. The forcast was for 40! HOW could they lie to me and let my plants get frosted!!! Hopefully they were wet enough (2 days of rain) to not get burned. Oh, the horror of it!!! Possible pots of wilted spinach!!! The weather is being very strange this year. Temps up and down like a see-saw. I want to start the veggie garden....but I'm tooo askeert to.

Lov the Kittay Nip-anonymous group!

Hang in there Juuude! Hope you don't find any monsters in your dungeon cellar! Selph imposed torture is bad enough.

Hope all is well in Psillyville.

[jerseyangel]

[blueeyedmanda]

Sillies!

Must announce the arrival of my neice this morning--just about an hour ago. My sister Tammy gave birth to her 2nd little girl. She was 8lb 4 ounces. Much bigger than Silvia. They have not given us her name yet. Last I was aware her name was Margherita. He is Italian and it is his mothers name. They were undecided by that, Victoria or Kiara.

Holy crap. It's POeter.

I just KNOW it. I've met POeter, and that is HIM. Hiding beneath a bald cap, then a blonde wig, wearing those tight dancing shorts.....and I am certain when we had lunch with POeter in the fall, I caught a glimpse of some intricate tattoo work on his arm. . . ..

And the way he moved.....taking his seat in the restaurant, walking out to the parking lot - - it was like I was watching a Riverdance afficionado, holding things back.

Now the boy. . . . .......kinda seems a little like The Ripper.. . . ..

[Darn210]

Congrats Amanda!!! (and to yer sister, too)

JoDog's out of surgery . . . she gets to come home tomorrow . . . poor girl The worst part is that she has to be confined or on lead for the next six weeks!!! They told me that when I picked her up tomorrow, I would have the option of picking up a sedative (doggie valium?) to keep her from getting overly excited. I told them that I don't need to think about it, I definitely wanted it!!!

Warm and sunny here . . . heading out side to rip out some old/overgrown landscaping. Haven't decided what to put in instead, just know certain areas are going to be majorly overhauled. I got a quote for some bushes to be removed and replaced wif sumptin differnt (ummmm . . . just because I don't like them) but that's on hold. We've got a bunch of pines at the back of our property. There were two struggling/diseased austrian pines that we took out last year and now it looks like we might lose a white pine. Now waiting to see if it "goes" . . . then small landscaping budget will be used on dead tree removal and replacement with two good sized trees. We wouldn't want our neighbors to be able to look into our yard and see that we haven't mowed the grass all the fun we're having!!

[Mtndog]

I have a new poem for all you working folk:

'I cannot go to work today, '

Said Jestgar, Em and blueeyemanada-may.

'The Twas won't clean my house ,

And my kitties left a big bad mouse.

Plus my head it hurts, my throat is dry,

A margarita would be better, sigh.

My husband had gall-bladder rocks,

My cats are high and the ferries won't dock.

And there's one more reason-that's almost nine,

And don't you think a mental health day would be just phine?

Jess's leg is cut-Amanda's eyes are blue-

And Susie has absinthian flu.

Poor Leesa needs tosleep and dream,

And Jianknit's ankle-biters make her want to scream.

I'm sure I missed you other working folk (Pieter, Susie not to mention all you MOMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!) but I'll get ya next time. I need to start writing more anyway- you know cause it'll help me when I teach :P
