Its possible when there is no alternative. I would say we have an outhouse too but that would be stretching it!;)

Ok ok so maybe I could get satellite, but that is like $70 a month :eyebrow:

bastards.

we had a nasty multi car accident here; killing several young people who were friends; leaving the driver alive. The news channels have been all over their facebook and myspace pages, noting the driver said "I hate being sober" and saying there were drug references and incriminating photos.

--one, I just hate to think of people trolling the deceased kids' pages for shit like this; and
--two; how dumb are people? perils of ze interwebs, people
maybe I should have put this in the "upsetting" thread

The Flying Monkeys have always been scary as hell!

I'm thinking about developing a fear of monkeys....

I just saw Steven Chu at a Chinese restaurant in my neighborhood. I wouldn't have recognized him, but my dad did and was really excited. He knew him from Stanford. Well, knew of him, actually.

Chu is the kind of guy who waits until the revolving door is empty before he tries to use it. Just so you know.

I wait til the revolving door is empty...

As an aspirated spit.

:) I'm not sure how to do that, UG.

hock a loogie

k'THOOL-hoo.

Gesundheit!

I did not. It was the dog.

The shoe is gone :(

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

That shoe that was there forever? :(

.......since February. (Too inept to quote myself from another thread.) Pretty sure it got whisked away in the last downpour of snow.

Rest well, My Dear Shoe.

(Perhaps he's off in search of his sole mate?)

:lol:

Well, he had a good run. I treaded the day he would take a hike, and I stride to make him stay longer.

Goodbye, old shoe. :waves sadly:

Heel be fine.

I never liked him - he was a heel from step one.

No need to stick the boot in.

Well, it was a tongue-in-cheek comment, laced with a hint of sarcasm.

Arch ya gonna laugh?

he was being callous if you ask me.

And his breath smelled of bunions.

He's a slippery character indeed, we should sock it to him.

Well.. was he a loafer? If not he could be seeking work. I just hope it doesn't wind up with taps.

He couldn't toe the line so he took a hike.

Minor rant (very minor):

When wearing a formal gown, the proper way to lift your skirts for ease of walking is with ONE hand, delicately, from the center front of the gown.

Ack! It always bugs me when I see girls lift their wedding or prom dresses with two fistfuls of dress. Not stomping grapes there, ladies.

So, if your nose still hurts like a bitch a couple hours later, but isn't swelling, is it possible it's fractured? And if it is, there really isn't any remedy but to just let it heal, right? There's not some weird chance of bone infection or anything crazy like that if I don't bother going to the doctor?

Omg! It's going to fall off. Run, don't walk, to the doctor, now!

really. seriously. your brain will rot. just . . . fall right out your nose.





the above post represents a feeble attempt at humor 'cause I'm weird, and is not a flame. kay?

I have to ask these things, because my default position is always "meh, it'll be fine I'm sure." (And that is how Mr. Clod once ended up taking me to the clinic with a 104 fever as I continued to insist I felt fine.)

a bone shard will make it's way up to your brain.

I'm just tellin' ya.

You can Google as well as I can, but when to seek medical care.

Looking on the bright side, has anyone else noticed that not only can our new friend not debate her way out of a paperbag, but she also hasn't found her way out of Home Base, so we could just post more sensible threads in Nothingland for a while. If we come up with any that is.... ;)

well almost, anyway...... I'm looking for the silver lining, people, looking.....

oh and here's something to amuse yourselves with while waiting for the dust to settle. Spot the cast of the emmadrama......

http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/

(it's been posted before but iirc, the thread that ensued if better left buried.... :lol:)

Heh - I've decided to stay away from Home Base for the duration. Let's hope she doesn't ever realize there's more to the Cellar. This old liberal coot feels safe in Nothingland. They can't find me here. Pssst! Are the mods here yet? :ninja:

I think she does a vanity search -the only posts outside of homebase have been in threads where her name was already mentioned. Voldemort time?

Voldemort ... bwahahaha, Monnie you crack me up.

Just do this.

It's so funny how many of us she's sucked in with her AWing - we're like mangy old dogs protecting our fire hydrant.

My lawn - off - now!

It's silly season, we're allowed...

Thank you for your permission........

Shouldn't that be "you're permission"? ;)

I feel an apostrophe attack coming on. Gaack! :rolleyes:

H'agg""is!''!

Happy Thanksgiving my fellow Cellarites! Off to my SO's who deosn't have internet, so I'll see you Friday! Be safe, and enjoy whatever it is that you have to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Queenie! Bring us back a leftover drumstick, eh?

Just a reminder:

It's time to watch Jim Gaffigan on Holidays again...:) (Still funny)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_BLmuxqYS0

I can hardly wait to watch the "you'll shoot your eye out" movie AGAIN.

Them's awful bad hiccups, Queensie.

I have left over spaghetti for lunch.
Low fat and saving money and not going into landfill and all that.

But I have such a bad craving for a cheese and onion bagel!
Ungrateful child.
I might wait until about 14.00, because by then I'll be hungry enough to eat just about anything and I'll be grateful for it.

I blame UG for talking about Cheddar earlier.

I had a poppy seed bagel with cream cheese, lox, red onion, and tomato our last vacation day. Had to be over 1000 cal. Soooo freakin delicious though....

gale force winds and blowing dust here today. woo.

Rowr, Rowr!!

Beware, lest I begin to talk of... Stilton.

Which I don't know very much about. Wae's me.

Well that was wierd.

A student who has just finished his final exam just came to see me.

He said he has told his mother about me. And his (female) cousin. Now his mother is interested in inviting me over for dinner so I can "meet" the cousin. He asked if I have any "preference" regarding the race of potential girlfriends.

Woah.

I think ethically, this is in the clear - ex-teacher, ex-student's cousin ... but it is kind of weirding me out.

I was non-commital but said he could email me with a follow-up.

Homecooked meal, convivial company... I wouldn't turn it down, since as you say it would pass ethics muster.

I think it's a compliment.

I think they want your money :D

This is clearly a plot to steal your liver
