OMG. I finally show up at the lounge and everyone has left.
But I’m back!
I like your tactic of leaving during the busy times and then coming back after someone opened the 24/7! 🙂
Well, I had an interesting evening…at the school fair, no less.
Did you win a goldfish in a bowl?
Not quite…But I did get to watch CBtE and his friends hanging out with the girls…very funny.
Was he trying to be really cool? I love hiding and watching my kids when they don’t know it. It’s fascinating.
Actually, he is pretty cool about it, in that he doesn’t try too hard. It’s also funny to see these girls (some of whom I’ve known for years now) be boy crazy. And even funnier when they all come over to talk to me.
I have to admit, it’s fun to watch them when they don’t realize you’re watching them.
Are you going to be a, no girl is good enough for my son, mother?
Hey, I was just surprised that all the kids he was hanging out with were so friendly to me. He has another friend who can’t string 2 sentences together in the presence of an adult.
I’m always amazed when I see the young girls who are sooooo much more developed than, say, 12 year old girls used to be. I remember my sons’ 8th grade graduations, the boys looked like Opie and the girls looked like Jessica Simpson.
I think it’s the hormones in the water supply…
Oh, and don’t forget to RECOMMEND this lounge.
Yeah, what is up with everyone slacking on the RECOMMENDing?
I’ll have you notice I recommended. 😛
I think every sixth comment should be a recommend reminder.
Hi SN and CG.
I was just off watching Dr Who.
Dr. Who? What’s Dr. Who? Who’s on first, isn’t he?
I caught part of it, but that was a rerun wasn’t it?
I’ve only watched a few episodes because it took me awhile to get over my ‘but it’s not Tom Baker’ resistance.
I never saw the old series. I’m really trying to get into this one, but it really hasn’t caught me yet.
I like it pretty well but I’m not making a commitment yet.
I was off watching the final minute of the Cavs – Pistons game peeking through my fingers. Gaaaa – lost by two points.
SN check you e.
Aww. You know, people are going to start talking about you and me.
You mean they already aren’t? 😉
I’m feeling very left out now… 🙁
Don’t worry, FM can only wreck one family at a time. 🙂
Yea I guess I’m not a multi-tasker.
You can’t satisfy all of us FM? 😉
Since I’m not a multi-tasker, I do one job very well and then move on and do the next job very well. 😛
I take as long as it takes. After all, now one likes a job half done. 😉
Now that’s the kind of attitude that will keep you from ever having to wear that helmet again.
Sigh.
CG you’ve never been left out.
Well, since you’re being a good RECOMMENDer for this lounge, I guess I’ll cut you some slack.
You mean you hadn’t noticed before how often they both annouce they’re going to bed almost but not quite at the same time.
I usually go a little before him so I can shave my yeti.
Not saying a thing. Nope not me.
What? you don’t like shaved yetis? Sorry, I’m being really gross tonight. But it needed to be said – it was just waiting there for me to knock it out of the park, dont you think?
… at A-blog. Anyone else see it? What an eye opener today was lemme tell ya.
Is a bro-ha-ha like a brou-ha-ha but for bros?
… maybe that was freudian on my part.
Are you talking about Alas, a blog? What happened?
…called Pat Roberts nothing but a big girl, which is apparently an insult in gay vernacular. Some of the female readers were offended and posted as such and it got very heated and then John deleted the whole comment section and he’s been selectively deleting comments all night. He deleted mine.
I just read some of it – very interesting. Funny when you learn something has a double or hidden meaning.
I’m a big girl. No, I mean I’m a Big German Woman and I can totally kick anyone’s ass.
… to insult someone by calling them a women/girl/etc. That’s not an insult to the intended target, but it sure as hell is to me.
It’s kind of an insult to both, don’t you think? The man (most likely target) because you’re saying he’s effeminate or wimpy and to all women/girls because it supposes that we’re all weak and ineffectual. Blech.
I think that they would consider it an insult speaks volumes about how we are conditioned as men and women. Why can’t we acknowledge/celebrate the differences w/out denigrating gender.
You want the short answer or the long answer.
If you’ve got the answer I’ll take either.
OK short answer – Human Nature.
The long answer would take me a dairy and a half.
I know that’s not the answer you want, but it’s the way I see it.
Should I get the helmet out? 🙁
You gained yourself a lot of brownie points tonight. 😉 You can put the helmet away.
Thank goodness for no helmet. My ears are starting to get calluses.
I meant that it’s intended to be an insult to the man. Of course, I think it’s a compliment.
Now that would be interesting. I’ve never seen Olivia tear into anyone. It boggles my mind.
Link plese.
[link]
But since he’s deleted the hundreds of comments a couple times over now it really won’t make a lot of sense.
Someone made a copy of the original (now-deleted) comments here: [link]
Thanks for the links Olivia. To much to read tonight.
My question is was it a flame war or something like that?
Here’s a link to the original thread without the deletions.
Oh that’s good. I know it’s wrong to say and it upsets me when I’ve seen it here, but I love to read a good flame war.
Ok, fun’s over – I have to go pick up Mr. Nature from the airport.
Heh. When FM heads off to bed shortly, we’ll know that this is just a clever ploy…
now that they realize we’re on to them.
You’ll notice it’s past my bedtime and I’m still up, er, awake.
I’m going to bed.
Night FM (heh, heh) and everbody else.
Night Andi.
I beg your pardon, but I’m still here.
BTW I saw in recent comments yours to dada about riley. The life of riley starring William Bendix. A role model for me. And what does chester refer to?
Right? 🙂
Well, dada and NDD are always bringing up Chester. And so, now there’s this Riley show and the guy’s name is Chester. Just wonderin’ why all these dudes are named Chester.
Is this Chester a slackerly dude?
I forgot. I watchted that show as a kid. His life revolved around getting out of doing work.
When NDD was talking about Chester I though he was refering to Chester on Gun Smoke with the stiff leg. Next door neighbor sunning and all.
… I’m only having fun w/ you, but if you’re not feeling well w/ your head then just tell me, okay?
And I’ve never seen Gun Smoke. I have no clue who Chester is … did he really have a stiff leg? Or was it something else.
was the actor Dennis Weaver, the character on Gun Smoke, Chester, did have a stiff leg. Image someone trying to run with their one knee locked up completely. And he used to say, “Comin’ mister Dillon, comin’ mister Dillon as he “ran” up to the Marshall.
I’m going to have a find a video clip of that soon for all the youngsters in the pond.
How’d it go tonight … Did you have a good time?
as far as pg goes, Gunsmoke on TV ran from ’55 to ’75 and was nothin’ but pg entertainment. The whole family used to watch every Sat night…
Yeah, Art gallery was fun, pretty much the younger gang here in town, art students at the universities, etc. Very interesting to see what they are doing.
I have photos ready if and when next 24/7 arrives.
… Give me a minute … or ten! LOL Stay tuned. 🙂
Probably should let this one rest…but…discretion has never been my strong suit.
“Chester” has many connotations, mostly humourous, and slackerific, as FM pointed out, but it also has bitingly sarcastic social/moral/religious implications. IE: “Chester the Molester”, or as a reference to the album “Aqualung”. a concept/non-concept album by Jethro Tull, c.1971
for those familiar w/ early Jethro Tull c.1971.
Aqualung
/Aqualung
Sitting on a park bench —
eyeing ittle girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose —
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun —
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck —
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Sun streaking cold —
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end —
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.
Feeling alone —
the army’s up the rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend —
don’t start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it’s only me.
Do you still remember
December’s foggy freeze —
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.
got that and many other Tull cd’s.
Was actually listening to Aqualung this week.
should get a cd copy of it, as the vinyl is pretty worn out…but I don’t play it very often.
One day I’ve got to get the cd’s for all my old albums. I hope by the time I can get around to it, they’ll still be in production.
I’ve got 2 TT’s and have, for the most part, a fairly pristine collection of vinyl. It’s actually getting easier to find vinyl and TT parts, after a long drought.
Still prefer the analog sound of an LP.
who knew Chester was so multifaceted!
I’m completely sated, and kicking back…got the doors and windows open again too…:{)
I think I envy you too — along w/ Andi and Jim. 🙂
Be careful. Don’t forget the yeti. 🙂
I don’t shave the yeti for my husband. Just special occasions.
That was fast. Did they land the plane in your driveway?
Well I’m off to bed.
All you late nighters have a good night.
Hi, folks. I’m arriving late as usual, you’re probably sweeping up the place and turning out the lights.
However, I”m going to do somethin likely unpopular (tho maybe somebody’s already done it.

Yes, it isn’t a link. Mea culpa. My fingers arent’ working well at the moment and I have a cat on my lap so nomorehtml.
It is extremely funny, all the way down (though so long, at this hour, sampling just a little may be sufficient).
There. If anyone is around, give me my Bad Numbers!
TGIS!
This one’s getting full.
