Happy B’day again Brother F.
Is the day going better Manny?
I now have 21 minutes left of the day, I’m bailing at 5:00 regardless of how much I didn’t get accomplished. Work late today? Eff-That! How’s your day going?
It’s been so-so. I feel like I coming down with a cold, so I guess large quantites of alcohol should kill the germs.
Sounds like you’re both having a bummer day … 🙁
Hi Olivia. How’s you fact checking day gone?
Very happy to be home … I had to stay late, didn’t leave ’til 6:30.
as it is a cyclone. Things are just very busy, not so much stressful, which is a Good Thing™
the spirit(s)! A well-made Hot Toddy will send most germs fleeing faster than a congresscritter avoiding a concerned constituent.
sorry your week has been so bad so far 🙁
picked up a notch now that you’re here, maryb 😉
Random Drink of the Day, via WebTender.com: the Greazy Deigo
*Warning* May cause coma-like behaviour wherein the drinker becomes paranoid that Dick Cheney is chasing him/her with a shotgun.
Although you give compliments with one hand and you cause me to have delusions of the big dick with another. I’m concerned.
That makes me wish I had some brandy in the house.
Happy birthday, Brother!
Be well, Family Man.
Grit your teeth, ManEegee.
I just got to meet another pond dweller in RL! I’m not sure how much anonymity to protect, so I’ll play it safe and not reveal who it was. Nyah nyah nyah. Now I know that katiebird, Raging Hippie, MaryB, and one more frog actually exists in RL.
I was beginning to doubt that I actually existed in real life. You’ve seen me though, right?
I’ve seen a woman who claimed to be you. Damn, I failed to check ID. So, sorry, I guess I still can’t swear you exist in R.L.
I’m leaning toward the “I don’t exist” conclusion today. It would explain a lot.
Poor baby. Feel invisible today, are we? Are just wishing we were?
You didn’t know those four are the only ones that really exist. All the rest of use are figments of their imaganation. 🙂
Lol, FM! So that lawn of yours is imaginary, too?
Woe is me, it’s not. I wish I could imagine it away.
Lawn B Gone!
I’m not even going to look outside because I know it’s not there anymore.
Tomorrow when I get up it will be nothing but nice concrete everywhere.
Thank you Kansas. 🙂
Anytime, FM. 🙂
I only didn’t want my picture taken kansas, that way I could still say things like…”Who posted bail for the both of you.”
But acutally, how many times do you get eat in a Library without getting in trouble?
IT WAS AMERICANFORLIBERY!
Hey, afl, it was really nice of you to show up. And I’ll bet you didn’t even know there’d be food.
So, which of us did you like best. 🙂
Oh, you know how it is, when you’ve seen one frog, you’ve seen them all.
I will say, this pond attracts quite a good looking and witty crowd, judging by the four fine specimens of amphibiosity that I have met so far. The rest of you have a high bar to meet.
And if you keep drinkin’ like that, FM and ManE, you’ll never see over that bar. . .nyuk nyuk.
Well I going to do some real drinking here in a minute, but the only way I can get it is nyquill.
So I’ll take a swig and be off to bed.
Everybody have a good afternoon/night in the pond.
No, as an I attorney I can kinda sense when there will be free punch and food.
I don’t know about you but the food and drink section of the bar exam was the only part I came out of really knowing I’d passed.
So you’ve been one of the lucky few to really meet Kansas.
You’re so lucky. 🙂
And got her autograph too..
Sound a little like bragging to me. 🙂
If you can do it ain’t bragging…Yogi Berra
Makes sense to me. 🙂
Very little!
If we can convince kansas to come to the meetup will you come FM?
And by the way AFL, there’s going to be a midwest meetup in Chicago on October 7th. You’ll be there right?
Probably,it will give me an excuse to go see my sister and harrass her current boyfirend.
Excellent. We have a good group committed and I haven’t even diaried it yet.
sorry for all the misspellings but I’m in my office at it is hot as Tucson after 6:00 p.m.
don’t worry, there will be no spelling test at the meetup 🙂
invisible people not aren’t persuasive since everybody can see right through their arguments.
kansas did. People who don’t exist can persuade — characters in novels for instance, characers on television shows. Just because I’m persuasive doesn’t mean I exist.
on tv don’t exist?!? Yeah, right. Next thing you’ll be telling me that Santa Claus and the tooth fairy are bogus.
exist. Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist. They work through agents. Like corporations.
that Andrew Fastow is the tooth fairy?
the tooth fairy for his kids 😉
I understand that the Fastow children’s tooth fairy funds suddenly dried up though.
Damn, damn, damn, I really can’t go. I’ll have been out of town most of the week before that, and it’ll be too close to when I need to get my next book in. I like to entertain the fantasy that I might actually be needing to work on the ending. Please don’t burst my bubble, okay?
On the other hand, maybe you’ll get a big creative burst and finish early? Huh?
Kansas
the 27th floor of the Thomas F. Eagleton Courthouse is a nice quite place with a view…
In St. Louis? Or are you thinking the Daly Center in Chicago — great view of the lake from the law library near the top 🙂
Remember last month I was in St. Louis now you know where.
You know I’ve never been in there. I don’t ever go to court except to watch and I guess I haven’t watched anything in federal court since they opened the new building.
It is really nice building, but make sure you use the express elevator because the “other elevator’s” take you only to the 22nd floor. And I only went there for oral arguments on an appeal.
I need to get there. Since I work in Clayton, not downtown, it’s not like I can just pop in.
If I work there I would never leave, because you can watch the Cardinals play from the 27th floor..although I it is a “real” nosebleed seat, but free. (battery dying)
It would be a distraction 😉
Or maybe I’ll be hideously blocked and only a trip to Chicago will cure me. A much more likely scenario.
Some of us didn’t eat at the library. Some of us must go hunting and gathering now.
See you guys at the campfire later.
if you came to Chicago, we could all fawn over you and tell you what a great writer you are and then you’d return home brimming with confidence, energy and, best of all, ego and if you’d didn’t want to rewrite anything you’d be in just the right frame of my mind to tell your editor to go piss up a rope.
Oh, don’t let my absence from Chicago stop you.
Dinner. Really. Must Have Dinner.
cool that there was another mini-meetup today, it’s was a great morale booster to meet other frogs in skin.
maryb, upthread you’re complaining about delusions regarding big dick? hmmmm 😛
Manny, we’re going to have a midwest meetup in Chicago on October 7. It’s open to all midwesterners and honorary midwesterners. To be an honorary midwesterner you just have to have passed through the midwest. Airspace counts.
You should think about coming 🙂
Manny, remember Chicago in October the temperature can drop all the way down to 62 degrees..
my cousin and a childhood friend are getting married that weekend so I’ll be doing groomsman duties while yawl are wreaking havoc in the Windy City.
Who’s more important? Family and friends? Or fellow frog ponders?
have another drink, this one’s a Green Monkey
with alcohol to get me to shut up don’t you?
Manny, I know where you can get an endless supply of “homemade” tortillas in Chicago. No need to worry if you take the last one?
shields are starting to crack :-
And it doesn’t matter if you eat with your hands either…
Well folks..if those two post don’t make him change his mind nothing else will.
I just know it 🙁
on your part to let him think so.
if I could drink as much in R.L. as I can here in the cafe.
but expensive.
do the buying 🙂
That’s too bad, you’ll miss the possibly the following:
1.) ?(fill-in-the-blank)___________
2.) The greek restuarante run well by Mexicano’s and the Mexican restaurante run by some Cubans?
3) and if you miss their marriage…well I’m all out of childhood friends, but could loan you a few cousins.. I have a bunch of those..
I love this entry:
what can I say? hoosiers
Or not — this is a tourist area; it could have been what we fondly call IFOs (idiots from Ohio).
Ahem.
sometimes the truth hurts — something about Ohio impairs people’s thought processes when driving.
Are hoosiers, like Sooners??
are sooners like hoosiers?
What is a hossier??
someone from indiana
is that somewhere near Tulsa?? (a sooner)
Is Indiana near Tulsa — well that depends, if you’re standing on Mars, yes; if you’re in Norman, no.
Well..that is a sooner…did you know the sun circles Norman,OK
In Missouri a hoosier is a red neck. At least it is in eastern Missouri. In Indiana it’s just the name of people from the state.
I was subtly insulting her and her state.
Now I understand why Missouri is called the show-me state.
They were playing speed bump.
I got a surprise on my first day of work since my newbie boss had agreed to a 6 hour shift for the 30 hour week I signed on to. But, he called me into his office that first day and said that it was legally mandated that he had to give staff a 1/2 hour break after 5 hours, and that 1/2 hour would not be paid for. So without too much time to reflect, I agree to that and it turns out that it will cost me $5,000 annually.
So I work in the most god-forsaken part of the San Fernando Valley and there is nothing to do around there. But I am paying $5,000 for this 1/2 break and you better bet your ass I’m going to take it. Yesterday I walked around the neighborhood and saw a cool white picket fence with roses growing all over it.
Today I went back and took some pictures and got back to work with five minutes to spare, during which I did the Monday LA Times crossword puzzle, one of the easiest in the universe.
Time to start a new cafe yet?
Do you have any “extra” office supplies you might like to sell???
I will be thinking about it!
Hey, just think of all the time you’ll have to work on your novel.
Yup! That’s what I’m thinking about!
Head on over to the 06/06/06 Bloody Bash Lounge
I’m onto you guys. I know a conspiracy when I see one!
