Patti- How is our Allo today? He reminds me so much of my cat growing up- her name was Popcorn and she looked like Allo but had a half mustache (no- never tried to wax it off She was comfortable with her femininity).

Bev,

Mornin', All!

Amanda! Any baby yet? Guess you're all off today, as well, with your Presidents' Day. We Family Dayers are to do family things on this new holiday, like paint the family room together.

Looks like Michelle's still in fourth...wish they had updates every half-hour, as she was only twenty minutes behind the third guy. Things can change so quickly......

...SUSIE!!......Have you been sleeping with George Clooney?!

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies!

How is everyone, I could have slept a lot longer. I am so tired today. I have a big meeting all day too....so I will be a stranger today..lol! I can feel myself going into withdrawls already!

My SIL had her baby, it was delivered by emergency C-section this morning, since her pelvic bone was in the way and they could not get the baby out. We will go see the baby tonight.

Congratulations Aunt Amanda! Have fun visiting the baby later!

Happy Holiday Monday, sillies!!! Mark was just happy he didn't have to follow the school busses all the way to work

It's so warm here this morning--I have the front door open. The sun is even trying to peek out and for once it's not windy. It smells like spring

Nikki and Bev - Have you seen your pets lately? Have you misplaced them? Have you loaned them out to some harlot skank celeb as some sort of weird hair extension?

No animals were harmed in the making of this av.

[Darn210]

From a friend:

In one episode of "Cheers", Cliff is seated at the bar describing the Buffalo Theory to his buddy, Norm. I don't think I've ever heard the concept explained any better than this . ..

"Well you see, Norm, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the heard is hunted, it is the lowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

OMG!! Do you really think Susie's got George Clooney over laying hardwood floor??????????

My SIL had her baby, it was delivered by emergency C-section this morning, since her pelvic bone was in the way and they could not get the baby out. We will go see the baby tonight.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

Boy or girl?? weight????????

Nikki and Bev - Have you seen your pets lately? Have you misplaced them? Have you loaned them out to some harlot skank celeb as some sort of weird hair extension?

I'll thank YOU Miss Janet not to hide kitty Will (& Angus) in Amy's bee-hive....it's just NOT sanitary (for the pets)

No animals were harmed in the making of this av.

Are you sure????? ........kitty Will smells now..........

BEV!!!!!!!!!

[elye]

We will go see the baby tonight.

Congrats, Amanda!! Yes, weight and name, please....

Nikki and Bev - Have you seen your pets lately? Have you misplaced them?

It's actually very subtly artistic and trompe l'oueil-ish....you must look carefully, and there's kitty Will! You could probably sell that pimped pic to an advertiser of some sort, Janet..."Finding strange creatures in your hair like Ms. Winehouse is? It may be time for a trip to our salon..." ....Nikki, put it in your front window!

OMG!! Do you really think Susie's got George Clooney over laying hardwood floor??????????

It had better be something earth-shattering like this....nothing short of George Clooney for the weekend is going to excuse this HEINOUS absence.....

BEV!!!!!!!!!

OMG......hilarious....I want this show over here. Must watch it online.....

[elye]

Mygawd, I cannot stand the stress.......Michelle has moved into third place, but the guy she's overtaken is only eight minutes behind her.....She could be only 36 hours from the finish line....enough room to catch the top two veteran mushers??!! GAAAAHHHHH.............

Go, Michelle, go...............!!!!!!

[jerseyangel]

And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Great av splicing, Janet You're taking over the reigns from Richard brilliantly! Now, can you out-do the now famous "Hollywood Squares/Sillie" avatar?

OMG!! Do you really think Susie's got George Clooney over laying hardwood floor??????????

Gawd--I had a crew here laying hardwood floor last Monday....and I can assure you none of them looked like George Clooney

Mygawd, I cannot stand the stress.......Michelle has moved into third place, but the guy she's overtaken is only eight minutes behind her.....She could be only 36 hours from the finish line....enough room to catch the top two veteran mushers??!! GAAAAHHHHH.............

Wheeee!!!! How exciting!!!!

GO MICHELLE!!!!!

Emily!!!! You have apparently NOT been spending enough time on the Yukon Quest site . . . The guy that is eight minutes behind her is the guy that's been behind her the whole time. They both overtook Brent Sass who has fallen to 5th and also apparently fallen off the face of the earth!!!

Go Michelle Go!!!!

You're right, Janet! My mistake...I'm reading about Mr. Sass now, and I'm a little concerned...where is he? Couldn't care less about him, it's his beautiful dogs that I'm worried about.

CONGRATS Auntie 'Manda & SIL!!!!!!!!!

She found caramels in the trash bargain bin?

:lol:

We Family Dayers are to do family things on this new holiday, like paint the family room together.

If only all businesses & workplaces were closed but schools were open - it could be Start a Family or Expand a Family Day!

" . ... And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

:lol:

I do remember this .. . ..well .. ... .w/ the extreme prompting I do!

OMG!! Do you really think Susie's got George Clooney over laying hard wood floor??????????

Yes, that WOULD fit the criteria.

Fun? check

Wondrous? well that's in the eye of the beholden, so I'd take her woUrd for it.

Amazing beyond belief? check

It had better be something earth-shattering like this....nothing short of George Clooney for the weekend is going to excuse this HEINOUS absence.....

Nooooooooo Kiddin'!!!!

If it's not something thread-shattering, we may be compelled to pro-Test by boycotting discussing Susie in her absence. :P

Anyway . .. .. .if it's not already apparent, I didn't go to Tahoe. Just didn't feel travel-worthy enough for the situation. It's not like I was going to be back on the slopes & Nic&Nat would be in school on the sidetrip days up by Reno.

GO MICHELLE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Realistically, I have to predict 3rd place & that's PRETTY DARN GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[~alex~]

Quite the mystery and intrigue.

My SIL had her baby, it was delivered by emergency C-section this morning, since her pelvic bone was in the way and they could not get the baby out. We will go see the baby tonight.

Congratulations! How exciting. Little ones are so exciting. Every time I see Ryan's newest nephew it seems that he is doing so many new things -- it's like they learn something new every day. Quite miraculous actually.

Go Michelle Go!!!!

yes! GO MICHELLE!!! I cannot even imagine doing what she is doing. Some kind of wonder woman I think!

My sore throat is starting to feel better and no fever and no puking in the last ~24 hours so I think I'm on the mend. But I'm still feeling incredibly sleepy . My brother is on the mend too and should be going back to work tomorrow which is great because routine is good for him.

Happy Presidents' Day/Family Day!!!

[blueeyedmanda]

The baby is a girl, Lydia Hayden

born 7am on 2/18/08

7lbs 8onuces

If only all businesses & workplaces were closed but schools were open - it could be Start a Family or Expand a Family Day!

Indeed....No expanding here, though. Closed up shop. Enough is enough!!!

Anyway . .. .. .if it's not already apparent, I didn't go to Tahoe.

That's too bad, Tom. Ah, well......our gain!

(Realistically, I have to predict 3rd place & that's PRETTY DARN GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Yep. Third it will likely be, if she can hang on there. Mackey and Anderson are too far ahead of her, and very experienced. I think it will be Mackey crossing first...he's still got twelve dogs. But a little voice keeps whispering, "but you NEVER know".......

Hey! What can we do here to take out these two guys?? Where's the yeti? Send him onto their tail, chase them off-course, terrify the men sufficiently that they break down emotionally and must be collected via helicopter......must get on this.....

[Darn210]

Perhaps this is what has become of Mr. Bass. Good thinking . . . start with the musher in third. It would be a bit obvious if it was the lead musher.

[elye]

Perhaps this is what has become of Mr. Bass.

....HEY!! Maybe Mr. Bass is with Susie....! They're both absent, unaccounted for....yes, that must be it!!!!

[Darn210]

And those dogs of his have POINTY EARS . . . you know how she loves dogs with pointy ears!!!

Damn you, Departing David Dalton!!!

Could be strategic....Michelle is letting her dogs rest a little longer than Dastardly David Dalton, knowing they will have to really turn on the jets for the final long stretch. DDD could pay heavily by not resting long enough...may have to drop a dog or two, or he'll have to rest again sooner than Michelle will, and she'll breeze past him. Stomach is in absolute KNOTS......mygawd, there's another full day of this ahead....

I suspect everyone's seen this before, tho hey .. .. .somehow *I* hadn't until recently.

My less-than-tech-savvy stepmother printed & snailmailed it to me.

It's the hysTERical Chili Cook-off story that includes the line "I need to wipe my ass w/ a snowcone"!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
