The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[~alex~]

Called my dad lat night, and told him of your brother's significant lifting of mood in the hospital when talking about the show. There was a pause, and he asked, "Uh.....is this a regular hospital?...what's, uh....the matter with him? This could explain much". So, I assured him that Colin is quite sane. But I do think that there is a certain kind of psychological...oddness needed to appreciate the humoUr in YCDTOT.

:lol: Definitely a bit of oddness required!!! Colin said that fact that the firing squad was our absolute favoUrite part of the show may have been an early sign that there was something a little off with the two of us.

And Something's Gotta Give w/ Jack Nicolson/Diane Keaton - I own it and have seen it about.......15 times. But here's the weirdest part....if it comes on TV - I will watch it also.

That's weird! (edit: You're not weird -- the coincidence is weird!) This movie is on TV tonight. I think I might watch it over at my brother's tonight. I think he's going to complain about the chick-flickiness of it but I'm the one making the hot jello so I think he'll relent to my TV choices.

Emily, when I was a little kid I had a buoyant bathing suit that had a little innertube built into it, so you might want to look for one of those if water wings don't do it for you! Patti -- I call them water wings too so it doesn't make you sound old! And I was a lifeguard so I consider myself an authority on this issue.

Amanda (and all other sick sillies) -- feel better! Stupid bugs making everybody sick.

The perfect solution

Hey all--I have no stove...I have one but it's incapacitated and has been since yesterday when the aforementioned gas leak happened.

Won't bore you with all the gory details, but I'm making due with a microwave, toaster and outdoor gas grill. We have to make a decision whether to reinstall the gas line or say the heck with it, get a 220 line installed and buy an electric stove. (We have to buy a new stove either way)

I love cooking with gas, but I'm ready to have them come and get the gas tank.

Meanwhile, it's grilled meat and microwaved potatoes.

Heh-heh-heh methinks Alex must just not be paying attn.

I'm just back from a little hoopin'. No game tho. No one else even there. Felt good nonetheless.

And w/ apologies to the snowed, iced or otherwise winterly-affected .. . .. .I'm in SHORTS!!!!!!!!!

Alex - I must warn you - - this movie has FAR more impact and meaning for the, uh, aging woman who wonders whether she'll ever find love again.... <um - we don't know ANYBODY like that now, do we? >

You'll like it, I think, but don't know if you'll luuuuuuuuuuuurve it......

OMG Emily MUST get one of those innertube bathing suits...... ha ha ha ha :lol:

oh Patti. Bah! But.....as we all know....too much gas really can be an untenable situation....

I just took Mojo and Annie on a walk through the orchard, in short sleeves......gorgeous day, high sixties and sunny!

Annie kept kissing and kissing Mo on the mouth - it's the CUTEST thing - - she used to try and do that w/ Tika, but T was not a kisser and didn't let her do it for more than a couple of seconds. Mojo not only lets her do it, but she slips her the tongue also.......quite cute.

While I'd like to try gas sometime, I really like the elecs w/ the flat glass-or-whatever tops. Both the look and that they're always flat. Somehow the plain old elec burners never stay close enough to perfectly flat, making my oil pool on one side.

Meanwhile, it's grilled meat and microwaved potatoes.

Grill some vegs like I've seen so often on the food porn shows!!!!!!!

They'll grill ANYthing! I've even seen quartered fancypants-lettuce heads look good! <grrrr can't remember which type>

(Not to confuse the metaphor but do you suppose Giada's contract has a minimum cleavage clause???? )

I love gas cooking too. I feel I have so much more control.

\And w/ apologies to the snowed, iced or otherwise winterly-affected .. . .. .I'm in SHORTS!!!!!!!!!

No offense taken...we will just remember we can curse your name tomorrow when we are trying to scrape inches of ice off our car so we can skate to work..lol

Awww....sounds so cute!

Gas stoves are a bit more expensive than electric but are great. My mom has a flat top she loves it, but I dont like that they do take a long time to cool so out of habit I lean on it and even though it is not red....you can get burnt. Plus her oven takes longer to heat up, there are no coils in the oven, so the heat element is underneath the bottom or something. They are sharp looking though.

[tom]

the word craptacular is a surefire LOL for me

No idea where I've seen/heard it before.

So besides the fluids assoc w/ rollover post #s, is there anything I should expect when my post# equals my member #???

I'm a mere 46 posts away!! :rolleyes:

It must be more special as it can only happen once.

Now, for the more mathletic amongst us, I'm wondering what type of equation would fit the frequency of a forum member's post# equaling their acct#.

Of course, there's a heavy cluster to start. But then there are so many variables. (i.e. I didn't post at all for a couple yrs)

Maybe a summation of probability integrals?

stop it!!!!!!! just stop that right now!!!!!!!! You can take that kinda talk somewhere else, mister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tom]

lol dingy!

Hey I prefaced it w/ "for the more mathletic" so don't go blamin' ME if you ignored the warning missy!!!!!!

Hey!!! Anyone know forum member Yolo?? She's in Los Gatos and it looks like we'll meet for coffee/tea soon!

[jerseyangel]

I've read some of her posts--wow, that's great you two are gonna meet

[elye]

Emily - I think Patti's water wings are an excellent idea. We've even still got some around here somewhere. Wish I could get them to you in time. 'Course they might not fit. They're made for a three year old. Do you have skinny little toothpick arms?

Gah! Definitely nuthin' toothpick happening here.

Well, did I kick @ss....surrounded by giggling 13 year-olds, terrified of getting their hair wet. Lots of roundhouse kicks and punches (did you know that one can sweat in the water?)! and now my legs are quite wobbly. No new bruises! However, the chlorine has made my hair look look Winehousish.....

Definitely a bit of oddness required!!! Colin said that fact that the firing squad was our absolute favoUrite part of the show may have been an early sign that there was something a little off with the two of us.

My dad has some great promotional photos of the cast. If Colin would like, Dad could send him one, autographed by a few of his characters (he's got signatures for each of them, particularly Ross Ewage (say that fast!) R. Sole and Auntie Histamine. You can PM me if he'd like one (and if not, totally understood... just gotta tell ya that Dad was delighted to hear how the show provided some happy memories when they were needed!)

Emily, when I was a little kid I had a buoyant bathing suit that had a little innertube built into it, so you might want to look for one of those if water wings don't do it for you!

Now wouldn't that attract some guys! Actually, there are often older ladies in the pool who very much look like they are wearing these....

And w/ apologies to the snowed, iced or otherwise winterly-affected .. . .. .I'm in SHORTS!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmm... Apologies accepted...begrudgingly.......

Freezing here today. Perhaps I should wear one of those inner tube bathing suits around when I'm out in the frigid weather..keep my midsection nice and warm. Why don't they sell those for winter wear?! Air Coats...

Annie kept kissing and kissing Mo on the mouth - it's the CUTEST thing - - she used to try and do that w/ Tika, but T was not a kisser and didn't let her do it for more than a couple of seconds. Mojo not only lets her do it, but she slips her the tongue also.......

Mygawd...necking dogs?...

[jerseyangel]

Emily--how nice of your dad to send an autograhed pic to Alex's brother.

Thanks all for the gas/electric opinions. Still undecided here--I love a gas stove, but hate the propane tank....I do like the looks of the smooth surface electrics, although I haven't cooked on an electric stove in many years.

God--I'm pitiful with decisions like these. Mark is no big help--he's like "whatever you want--I don't cook"

[jerseyangel]

And w/ apologies to the snowed, iced or otherwise winterly-affected .. . .. .I'm in SHORTS!!!!!!!!!

We had blowing snow and ice today.

Mojo not only lets her do it, but she slips her the tongue also.......quite cute.

Quite the little hussy

Emily maybe you found your calling, a Niche...tubular coats! I'll model!

God--I'm pitiful with decisions like these. Mark is no big help--he's like "whatever you want--I don't cook"

So does that mean you can get a top of the line Viking Stove, the kind the yuppies buy??? since you do the cooking and all...if so can I come over and try it out and pretend I am rich for one moment in time LOL

Quite the little hussy

Patti said Hussy!!!!!! ROFL!

LOVE this factoid!!!!

You just may need to send TWO pix in Alex's general direction.

particularly Ross Ewage (say that fast!)

She warned me that it hasn't been updated in quite a while, but that may only be relevant on the 'Showings' page, or whatever it's called.

[elye]

Emily maybe you found your calling, a Niche...tubular coats! I'll model!

Yes!! All-season Tubular Coats! They come fully inflated for severe cold, and air can be let out for warmer weather. They could come with a foot pump. No fussing with a zip-in lining, or several coats for changing climate...

One may look like a side-show act with it fully inflated...but man, you'd be warm!

Speaking of coldness, I keep, forgeting to tell you guys the exciting news going on: My SIL is running the Yukon Quest as we speak. One of the two huge, international dogsled races held each year up north. Very few women have ever entered, and last year she came in eighth. Took her fifteen days, driving up mountains and across frozen lakes, -40, utter darkness....craziness. But I really admire her; she's quite a woman. She's been out two days, and right now she's in 7th. Exciting! Here's the link:

Absolutely! Boy, would that ever tickle my Dad..."Okay, Dad, ya gotta sign a bunch of those photos for my forum buddies" ...That would make his month!

[happygirl]

Ok, I'm late to the party, but can someone provide insight to me on the Em's famous dad?!

Yeah you were right about that. We didn't see the whole movie but I got the sense that my tastes haven't matured enough to really appreciate it. But the beach house in that movie . . . now that is my dream!!! Jaw droppingly beautiful!

This amazingly sweet offer brought tears to my eyes. I sent you a PM.

Something kinda silly . . . I was organizing Colin's meds and I saw on the bottle of his sleeping aid prescription - May cause drowsiness WTH!?!?! Isn't that the point. Legal issue I'm sure. What's next? Antibiotics with the warning May kill bacteria ???

Well, isn't it now your duty to request pix . . .oh .. .maybe ~12x/yr at somewhat evenly spaced intervals?

I've become a fan just from the stories & avatars over these months in Sillyville. Wish the timing was different on the show. Didn't watch much tv in college.

Ok, off to Trivia Night, I think. Thought I might see Mei tonight but we kept missing each other.

I love her stuff!!!!!! thanks for the link.

Annie - a hussy - - :lol: OMG you have no idea. She's my little hedonist....all about food and love, I think I've mentioned. Literally THROWS herself on people, forces people to hold her hand, narrows her eyes in this dreamy love stare (I'll post a pic of that)....and she keeps trying to go home w/ Jenn....runs into her car every time and I have to PULL her out. She actually loves Jenn more than anybody - you should SEE those two together and hear the voice Jenn uses w/ her...I could pee my pants laughing: "Oh Annie............tell me all your hopes! Tell me all your hopes and dreams you precious.....loving......WEEEE-ZEL!!!!!!!!!!" and "you are soooooooo special! you're special, special, ssoooooooooo SPECIAL!!!!" but you have to hear the baby voice she uses - absolutely insane

Yeah you were right about that. We didn't see the whole movie but I got the sense that my tastes haven't matured enough to really appreciate it. But the beach house in that movie . . . now that is my dream!!! Jaw droppingly beautiful!

OMG - the house - really gorgeous! My dream home also.

and your SIL - OMG! yes, freezing and HEINOUS indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe you made that offer to Alex in public . . . now you must get us all one.

Ok, I'm late to the party, but can someone provide insight to me on the Em's famous dad?!

Well, just take a look at her avs . . . most of the time, it's her dad . . . sometimes it's her dog (or her dad dressed up to look like her dog)

What's next? Antibiotics with the warning May kill bacteria ???

Susie - love your Annie Av.

I had some phunny stuff to write up but now that I've got to this point, I can't recall a bit . . . tis late and I'm turning into a pumpkin. I must go to bed.
