Oh . . . and here I was going to say it was a bloodless coup.

Well.......

There's always a first time for everything......

Jess, Grip fast....

[psawyer]

Queen Jess!! we need to ask you about a certain entrance exam!! hmph... now i'm interested... i think i wanna take it

wait, i'm confused. how did Queen Jess become Queen??

Well, you could look into the thread to find the answer.

Jess (jestgar) became Queen on January 4 of this year.

She succeeded Tom (tom), who became King on December 3, 2007, succeeding

Amanda (blueeyedmanda), crowned on October 27, replacing

Beverly (mtndog), who became our leader on October 8, 2007.

The answer is there to be found for those brave enough to look for it.

[psawyer]

Well...yes. But I wanted to bring up the metric system. It is actually quite a resource for comedic material. Decametres and milligrams...a scream! And, the best thing: I only weigh 60 kilograms!

Emily, you need to move to the UK, where you would weigh only 9.5 stones! I weigh only 13 stones myself.

For those of you wondering, the stone is a unit of weight used in the United Kingdom, mostly for the weight of people. It is 14 pounds, or 6.36 kilograms.

[cruelshoes]

Where to start. I had to force myself to stop checking in to monitor the hilarity. No thanks to any of you, I DID get my kitchen clean today. But then my husband came through and totaled the whole joint. Guess I'll have to start over on the kitchen and the silliness tomorrow.

1. Do humans have anal glands?

2. Would it generally be considered a positive experience if one is teabagged by a friend? How about a stranger?

3. In the space provided, draw a flowchart depicting the process of yeti inseam measurement.

I'm not sure, but I think the answers to 1 and 2 are "nice girls never tell." I can draw a mean flowchart with lots of decision points and data storage devices, but that is not nearly silly enough. I do know the airspeed velocty of an unladen swallow, and can recite the theme song to Gilligan's Island by heart. Any chance I could get extra credit for those? I hope there is a secret handshake that goes along with this sillyville nonsense. A handshake that is not accompanies by a teabag, thank you very much.

Babinsky is a nickname and I am several decades removed from teenagedom...but I was quite cute....darn these wrinkles

Donna, you just keep hanging about with us girls on the makeup thread. We think you are smashingly beautiful. A real fox. The people over here only like you for your silliness. We like you for things that are more superficial than that. That's what's great about us.

colleen, i insist you post a picture of richard as soon as his makeover's done. ooh, and if someone happens to take a picture of the courier, that will also suffice oh even better!! we would like a constant flow of pictures of the makeover-in-progress

I have come to the conclusion that we are going to make money charging for the makeover photos than we would for the ransom. We will be auctioning them off for, say, $500.00 each. Or you could just buy us some really purty makeup. And none of that Wet-n-wild crap either. We want the real high end stuff like the girls on the Jerry Springer show wear.

[nikki-uk]

GAH! The Magic Triangle, now a Magic Refresher...These buttons can transform our lives!...I just wish I could hit "insert special item" and into my life would suddenly appear a new car...Or how about "show all?" No! Do NOT want that one...

What about.....at a boring meeting with your son's teacher???.......hit ESCAPE... ...or crap day...everything going awry??...hit DELETE (start again).......RESTART is also good for crap days

<Plus, I tried F5 and it didn't work. Will require more magic than F5>

Me too ...it said..''LINES TOO DEEP''

We lost no urchins scouts in the process . . . will have to try harder next time.

Were they sea urchins???? .... ....try harder you MUST....take a hip flask next time

Emily, you need to move to the UK, where you would weigh only 9.5 stones! I weigh only 13 stones myself.

For those of you wondering, the stone is a unit of weight used in the United Kingdom, mostly for the weight of people. It is 14 pounds, or 6.36 kilograms.

GAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!.........of course now I MUST hate Emily as she weighs a full stone LIGHTER the meeeeeeeeee

Guess I'll have to start over on the kitchen

Colleen, Colleen, forget it - your HOOKED!!!!!!!!

We are far too slovenly & debauched for mere housework tasks

I do know the airspeed velocty of an unladen swallow, and can recite the theme song to Gilligan's Island by heart. Any chance I could get extra credit for those?

Maybe?....I imagine those skills are very useful in everyday life

And none of that Wet-n-wild crap either.

No idea what that is ....but I'm gonna say that to my hubby tonight

[elye]

Morning, all!

Jess (jestgar) became Queen on January 4 of this year.

She succeeded Tom (tom), who became King on December 3, 2007, succeeding

Amanda (blueeyedmanda), crowned on October 27, replacing

Beverly (mtndog), who became our leader on October 8, 2007.

For those of you wondering, the stone is a unit of weight used in the United Kingdom, mostly for the weight of people. It is 14 pounds, or 6.36 kilograms.

Our True Oracle...from every section of life, Peter knows the answer...

I do know the airspeed velocty of an unladen swallow, and can recite the theme song to Gilligan's Island by heart. Any chance I could get extra credit for those?

Absolutely. I believe there is a section for just such an opportunity to demonstrate one's own personal silliness quota...

Tryin' to muster up the silliness, guys...not a simple feat, today, I'm afraid. I'm worried for my DD. She and DH headed down to the big hockey tourney on Friday.

They won their first two games Saturday morning, and they had a third game last night, which they lost 4-2. This team was apparently very aggressive, lots of penalties....anyway, during the last minute of the game, one of their forwards shot on Sophie, she made the save, then it rebounded out and this player charged her, and in pursuit of the puck, smashed her into the net where she then sort of lay in a crumpled heap. Anyways, long story longer, they are wondering about a concussion and DH was going to be waking her up through the night. Sophie told me that she had a headache and felt exhausted. Don't like this. And I hate not being with her!

Soooo.......just waiting to hear this morning. Carry on, sillies... It's Sunday...hope your silly reset button's been hit, Tom.

[nikki-uk]

Poor Sophie ...when's she back??...tonight???.....{{{hugs}}}

[Darn210]

I do know the airspeed velocty of an unladen swallow. . .

African or European? If you know both, than that would make you an expert . . . a swollowologist.

Donna, you just keep hanging about with us girls on the makeup thread. We think you are smashingly beautiful. A real fox. The people over here only like you for your silliness. We like you for things that are more superficial than that. That's what's great about us.

Tis true . . . we do embody a certain juvenile intellectual humoUr.

I have come to the conclusion that we are going to make money charging for the makeover photos than we would for the ransom. We will be auctioning them off for, say, $500.00 each. Or you could just buy us some really purty makeup. And none of that Wet-n-wild crap either. We want the real high end stuff like the girls on the Jerry Springer show wear.

Tom, did you hear that . . . Colleen mentioned Jerry Springer . . . you know what that means? Won't be long and they'll be flashin' their assets over on the EM thread.

What about.....at a boring meeting with your son's teacher???.......hit ESCAPE... ...or crap day...everything going awry??...hit DELETE (start again).......RESTART is also good for crap days

If only . . . Twould be nice!

GAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!.........of course now I MUST hate Emily as she weighs a full stone LIGHTER the meeeeeeeeee

What are you complaining about?!? I'm more than . . .heehehehee, thought you were going to trick me, eh. Put in writing for the whole world to see how much I weigh . . . not gonna happen!

Anyways, long story longer, they are wondering about a concussion and DH was going to be waking her up through the night. Sophie told me that she had a headache and felt exhausted. Don't like this. And I hate not being with her!

Oh Emily, sorry to hear . . .keep us posted . . . hugs for you and Sophie

[jerseyangel]

Thanks Everyone, had my hair done last week. Cut and highlighted

Love the highlights, Amanda Very pretty style.

I hate the term vital wheat gluten...it always makes it seem like if you dont have it bad things will happen...like Vital Signs or like Vital Supplies...LOL

Plus--have you ever taken good look at the stuff? It looks like something I ate and lost

Tryin' to muster up the silliness, guys...not a simple feat, today, I'm afraid.

Oh Emily, you must be worried sick. Hope Sophie is fine this morning--let us know

[blueeyedmanda]

Plus--have you ever taken good look at the stuff? It looks like something I ate and lost

LOL---I remember seeing it in the freezer at Giant once and thinking eww gross!

[cruelshoes]

No idea what that is ....but I'm gonna say that to my hubby tonight

Ha - Wet-N-Wild is an ultra cheap brand of makeup over here in the states. I hope you have some luck using the phrase on your hubby, though. Good times.

BTW, while we're on the subject of America VS the UK, what is up with all the demented kids shows that keep coming over here from your side of the ocean? My daughter is totally into the Open Original Shared Link, which makes me want to take my own life. She also loves the teletubbies and the Flowertots. I think if I took some illicit substances I might be OK with them, but stone cold sober they are just weird.

Tryin' to muster up the silliness, guys...not a simple feat, today, I'm afraid. I'm worried for my DD.

So sorry to hear about your DD. Here's hoping everything is OK.

African or European? If you know both, than that would make you an expert . . . a swollowologist.

Nice try. You know if I say I don't know I will be whisked into the air and fall into the pit of despair. You people are just as sneaky as you are silly!

[Darn210]

Nice try. You know if I say I don't know I will be whisked into the air and fall into the pit of despair. You people are just as sneaky as you are silly!

One of my favoUrite all time movies . . . Saaaaay, would you trade Richard for a nice shrubbery . . . one that looks nice . . . and not too expensive?

[elye]

Okay, so they're home.

I think she's okay. Headache is there a little bit, no nausea, tired (but only because she was awakened throughout the night by her dad, and played a lot of hockey yesterday), pupils aren't strangely dilated. I'm keeping an eye on her. Gad, all you need is your little 'un to be far away and hurt, and the silly just vanishes...

But I'm okay, now, and thanks, guys...

BTW, while we're on the subject of America VS the UK, what is up with all the demented kids shows that keep coming over here from your side of the ocean?

Well, since we are all one big Commonwealth, I must ask if you lump us Canucks in with Nikki's "side of the ocean". (Jeez, do I really wanna know the answer to what I'm about to ask?)....Ever seen You Can't Do That on Television? Want your honest opinion if you have. Does it make you want to take your own life? And the token adult on the show....weird or WHAT?!

[jerseyangel]

Emily--I'm so relieved!

I checked here several times today to see if you had any news. I'm sure she's getting some rest now, and lots of TLC from Mom.

[blueeyedmanda]

John and I are sitting here watching Parking Wars on A&E, boy this is a funny show!

We are leaving for the grocery store in a little bit. I am thinking Taco's for dinner. I hear it is very chilly out there....

OMG update too! Best sleep I had in a long time last night. I bought a side sleeper pillow from Bed Bath and Beyond which was great. I also got this little neck thing you put in the microwave and it has lavender and chamomille in it....and that relaxes you. Not only did I sleep in my bed, but I did not wake up a million times, woke up rested and didn't need help to get to sleep. It was wonderful!

[~alex~]

Well that's certainly a relief! Just as a heads up, after I got a concussion playing soccer I felt headachey/queasy for a week or so afterwards when I exerted myself too much in games and practices. Just wanted to let you know that it might be expected that she doesn't feel well while playing hockey for a short while.

[psawyer]

Emily, thanks for the good news update.

[dlp252]

I'm glad to hear your daughter is better!

[nikki-uk]

Emily!!! Good news!!!!!!!

My daughter is totally into the Open Original Shared Link, which makes me want to take my own life. She also loves the teletubbies and the Flowertots. I think if I took some illicit substances I might be OK with them, but stone cold sober they are just weird

My kids are too old for those programMEs now (thank GAWD!!)...BUT...GAD!!!! they did like the teletubbies...UH-OH

Well now Colleen ....I think you know what you MUST do to make life bearable......enjoyable EVEN.

...can I just say I LOVE Donna's new Av!!!!!!!!!

[dlp252]

...can I just say I LOVE Donna's new Av!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so they're home.

I think she's okay. Headache is there a little bit, no nausea, tired (but only because she was awakened throughout the night by her dad, and played a lot of hockey yesterday), pupils aren't strangely dilated.

[tom]

Uh-oh certain overemoticonizing danger here . . .better split this into 2 parts.

Noooooooooo KIDDIN'!!

Hate that term.

........F5?.......MAGIC REFRESHER????.........will it work on these frown lines?

Howzabout on these white whiskers?

(Not all of 'em, but enough to feel oooooolllllld)

You know, we all may have to take Silly Re-certification exams at some point...must search for this...

Emily, you need to move to the UK, where you would weigh only 9.5 stones! I weigh only 13 stones myself.

But how many on the moon while sToNeD???? *_*

Or maybe just while moonwalking? <hair on fire optional>

. . . . and can recite the theme song to Gilligan's Island by heart.

".......a 3 hour tour"

Shouldn't 'tour' be pronounced 'tower'?

Dour sour flour are!!!

Then there's 'pour' . ... . .oooo and 'your'.

Hmmmmm

Our dour mood was due to your sour flour pour in the brownie mix?

---or---

Ower dower mooed was dew two yore sower flower poor in the br

[babinsky]

Glad to hear your daughter is fine....my son got into a car accident while I was at a convention with hubby (skiing...some convention ) I was sure I would never again be in the running for mommy of the year....He was fine but I could not wait to get home.

Donna your pic is lovely...my dogs are so much cuter than me so I will just leave them up.

Thought it was time to answer the all important questions

1.Yes, humans do have anal glands....some are just one big anal gland

2.I would consider it an honor to be teabagged by anyone.....just love attention of any kind

3.The yeti has been moving around far too much for me to get accurate inseam measurements and feel it is better for all to wait on the flowchart.

I cannot sing Guilligan's Island song all the way through but have been stopped many time through my life and asked for an autograph....I seem to resemble Marianne on that show....go figure, I couldn't be the sexy one, Ginger! Please let me know if I pass...would love to hang around a while

[tom]

Part deux

... It's Sunday...hope your silly reset button's been hit, Tom.

Eh blew it last night I'm afraid. No idea what the offending food was as I've used all the same ingred for years but got a vise-like headache while eating my BIG salad and there're always after-effects in these situations.

So, I think the brain's ~70% & the real silly - the cracking-myself-up-whilst-trying-to-type silly - starts at ~90%.

I'm good, but now aiming for tuesday. <crossed fingers>

African or European? If you know both, than that would make you an expert . . . a swollowologist.

Hehehe .. . . .. ... .

<Dana Carvey as Bush the Elder> "not gonna do it"

Tom, did you hear that . . . Colleen mentioned Jerry Springer . . . you know what that means? Won't be long and they'll be flashin' their assets over on the EM thread.

Uhhhhhhh .. . . . .. .see you sillies in a while .. . .. .I . .. ..uhhhh .. . . have . .. ....uhhhh .... .. <what was I talking about?>

One of my favoUrite all time movies . . . Saaaaay, would you trade Richard for a nice shrubbery . . . one that looks nice . . . and not too expensive?

I'm quite sure I SHOULD know wth this is about .. . . . ..

....Ever seen You Can't Do That on Television? Want your honest opinion if you have. Does it make you want to take your own life? And the token adult on the show....weird or WHAT?!

Speaking of "as sneaky as we are silly"!!!!!!!!

John and I are sitting here watching Parking Wars on A&E, boy this is a funny show!

We are leaving for the grocery store in a little bit. I am thinking Taco's for dinner. I hear it is very chilly out there....

While the undefeated N.E. Patriots make history?

OMG Amanda!!!! You MUST have a '1 game per Sunday' rule in effect, don'tcha? It should really be rescinded on days like today.

Ya gonna have'im hold yer purse for ya the whole time at the store too?

OMG update too! Best sleep I had in a long time last night. . . ..

. .. .. It was wonderful!

Yippee!!
