LOL @ beebs pointing. Now we know you’re just as TMI in real life. [QUOTE=eleanorigby] **Bobbio** is reading Barchester Towers? I’m reading Barchester Towers! What are the odds! [/QUOTE] _Barchester Towers_ is awesome. Have you gotten to the Dress Incident at the Proudie’s big dinner party yet? Speaking of LoLs… I took tomorrow morning off at Reference work. Hence why I’m still hanging about on the Intertubes. That and I had to pick some prizes out from the latest Neopets plot. (Don’t ask, it makes no sense even if you were there for it.) ---

home, dinner is being eaten, beerveages are being drunk. W00T! Vacation! **LiLi** , no one cries at our church baptisms. Do you think this is a sign of **Gnat** ’s budding Hitlerhood? :eek: **rigs** , congrats on son’s documentary. I think **beeb** ’s penis pointing is a sign of his secret crush on **da Bear**. Great pic by the way. {{{{Pie}}}} I have yet to meet **FCM** in person. ☹ ---

[QUOTE=Open Your Eyes] Haha, good pranks. Although I think I’ll stick to one I always wanted to do: switch the bags of cereal in cereal boxes. Just wait for the look on one of your loved one’s face when he sees Cheerios coming out of the Lucky Charms box 😃 [/QUOTE] Just popped in here looking for harmless pranks to inflict on my much deserving boys (who knows what they’ve got planned for me in the morning…) and I LOVE this one. Thanks! Last year they were treated to an “OUT OF ORDER - use the other bathroom” sign on their bathroom door. An identical sign hung on the door of the other bathroom of course. I also taped their napkins to the table – that backfired, they never use the darn things. [QUOTE=whiterabbit] I forgot to say that I think “Screaming Baptisms” would make a good band name. [/QUOTE] Probably a much better name than “Screaming Bris’”. :eek: ---

I thought a bit of screaming was a pretty common thing at a bris, considering what’s going on. And that does sound annoying as heck, **Taters** , but I bet the reason they wanted _you_ to give them an address was a security issue, so they hopefully wouldn’t tell some scammer about your credit info. I see no reason why we should wait for **Moooooom** to return to punish people when I know of a perfectly good punisher right here in this thread. You do _not_ want **MamaTigs** to give you The Look. And even now, she’s got a certain tone of voice that makes me jump up and do whatever she says to do if she wants to use it. I suppose that is a power you don’t lose once you have it. She once grounded me from _books_! This may sound weird, but if you knew me in RL, you would be gasping in horror at the thought. Really. _shudders_ (If it weren’t for the awesome local used bookstores and the library I’d have long since been dead from book withdrawal, being 80 miles from the nearest B&N.) I called my brother this evening to wish him a happy birthday, which he totally forgot to do for me, the little creep. He apologized for forgetting me straight off, and then said he didn’t have time to talk because he has a huge test tomorrow and piles of homework, but he’ll call me back tomorrow. The New And Improved brother strikes again! I don’t know what the Air Force did to him, but dayum, they did a good job. He’s all grown up and responsible and stuff. I think he’s got a better handle on that than I do anymore. Bedtime. It’s kinda early, but I’m kinda sleepy. ---

Thank you **Beebs** for putting that idea in my head … like I needed it there! 😉 {{{{{{ **CutiePie** }}}}}} I should be in bed … I’m glad tomorrow is Tuesday. And Thursday will be my Friday this week–I’m taking Friday off so that I can do some stuff that I just don’t have time to do on the weekend. Happy Tuesday all. 🙂 ---

Just went out for a drink with Capt Cheekbones, Minister’s Lad, and That Guy. Reunion! It was so nice. Played pool, re-lived old times, it was like Capt Cheekbones had never left. Aww. I am going to get no work done this week. Ack. ---

[QUOTE=swampbear] Are you thinkin’ no beard, short beard, goatee, what? I vote for some facial hair but then again I’m right partial to face hair. [/QUOTE] So am I. Just going shorter. Right now, it’s about five inches. At that length, it needs some fairly intense maintenance or it looks awful. ---

Good morning everyone, including Mt. Penis! Despite being up till nearly 11 last night, I awoke at 5:30 and couldn’t fall back to sleepy-bye, so here I am, amusing myself till the kid gets up and our day of fun and chores begins. Cute pic! Of course the one of \*\*Puggy \*\* and me is lots cuter, but you’ll just have to imagine it until the weekend. Then when you see it, you’ll gasp because of Teh Cute. Plus we’re both too classy to point at Mt. Penis. 😃 \*\*doggio \*\* - all you have to do is spend Sunday waiting at a pre-determined rest stop along I-95 and you could meet me. Assuming I’d remember to stop, because lately I don’t remember stuff too good. Like I forgot I was supposed to include \*\*TroubleAgain \*\* in the lunch plans. Stoopit brain fart. I think I’ll post this then go in search of caffeine. It’ll be an easy search, because I know right where it is. ---

Sadly, this is not an April Fool’s joke… Would you believe that a client called me at 12:45 THIS MORNING to order a lunch for today?!?! :eek: No, I never turn my phone off. Especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have the possibility of sleeping in I leave it on in case one of my employees needs me when they get to work. Grrr… Otherwise, I’d like to say that it’s a nice picture of the\* five \* of you. 😃😛 And… If **beebs** hadn’t mentioned yet another piece of TMI, I never would have noticed. ---

_Mt_ penis **Beebs**? :dubious: Cite! 😛 Are you flirting with me? Mornin’ Y’all! Up and, well, up. Remember I mentioned soreness on the roof of my mouth yesterday? Well, this mornin’, _OUCH_ Really sore. Hard to talk sore. Ick! I think I might stay home today. Ok, off to get all cleanded up, then decide whether or not to go to work. Later Y’all! ---

[QUOTE=eleanorigby] What are the odds! [/QUOTE] I’ve heard San Francisco described as being a place where “the odds are good, but the goods are odd.” Of course, this is the same city that is compared to a granola bar, because both are “mainly fruits and nuts…” 😃 ---
