I went to :eek:Wally Jr.:eek: and have vacuumed and dusted da cave. I need to clean the bathrooms and kitchen as well but let’s not have all the fun in one day, right? 😃 I yanked some chikin thighs from da freezer. I am considerin’ makin’ death chikin tomorrow. Or not. Whatever will involve chikin thighs so at least one decision is made. **Peaches** there was a clown scare in ye olde home towne last week. The dumbasses that started it were too dumbass not to get caught. Glad for that. I really think people who want to pull hoaxes like that should be punished to the max extent possible. Personally I would put them on house arrest in a house full of clowns with access to axes. Then they could just giggle themselves silly over clowns with axes. OK, time to move on to other things. Maybe even nappage. I should rest up if’n I’m goin’ to be the perfect host for men’s night over to the church house. ---

Arrrrgh! Did someone say bacon? **metal mouse** , the bald guy cut, if you don’t want it down to the scalp, takes a #2 guard (thanks Dad and Grandpa! 😛 ) Getting routine maintenance done on one of my monthly projects. I go to get a haircut from a stylist that I haven’t gone to before tonight, so if I’m bald tomorrow, Mumpers will have to cry in your beers with me. ---

\*\*Red \*\*- when I was a kid and my mom was still a n00b with hair cutting, her standard line was “It’ll grow…” Quite the comedienne, my mother… OK, back to work. I needed a frustration break. ---

Last night I apparently made an unfortunate meal choice. I was up (and down) all night with food poisoning. I thought I was re-visiting my colonoscopy prep. Finally got to bed after 5. Didn’t get either kid to school. Not winning mom prizes today. Boy child, of course, does not mind. Girl child will be upset that she has missed talk like a pirate day. I feel that I should accomplish things today, but maybe in a while. Aaaarggh! ---

Then they could just giggle themselves silly over clowns with axes. If you put many people on house arrest with clowns & access to axes there’s a high probability of no more clowns but the possibility of more charges. Is “they are scary & eeevil” a justifiable reason for clownacide? :eek: ---

I took a little nap. ‘Twas nice. OYKW is here and in a little while we shall head over to the church house. For the present however, he’s havin’ himself a lie down. **Spidey** I want the asshats who perpertrate these clown hoaxes to be put on house arrest in a house full of clowns with access to axes. My reason bein’ since these people think cloan hoaxes are so funny, let 'em live with a clown hoax. **Peaches** why on earth would _Sharped Dress Man_ remind you of my hometown? 😃 ---

Holy Crap on a Crispy, Crunchy Cracker!!! My boss just told me this afternoon that this is his last week. :eek: :eek: :eek: That would explain the behind-closed-doors meetings he’s been having with the other two folks in the group and why I’ve been told to change who’s signing what. A week or so ago, \*\*FCD \*\*said something was in the wind at my facility, but he didn’t know what it was. I’m guessing this is what it was. I don’t know if he’s been fired or reassigned, but soon, I won’t be dealing with him. Suddenly my stress level has dropped. We shall see who the new boss will be. Pizza for supper because I’m in a pizza mood. Reason enough. 😃 ---

Well, I did summon up some ambition this morning and (1) picked up dry cleaning, (2) dropped off Gas bill (3) did some shopping (4) got a bank check for the roofing job this week and (5) dropped off mail at the Post office. Rewarded myself for all this activity by going to Jimmy John’s for a #7 with chips and a Coke. And that appears to be the highlights of the day. All else is Blurf. **Sari,** surprise money, in any amount or from anyone, is always nice. A couple months ago I got a settlement from some class-action lawsuit for $14.07. Didn’t matter that it wouldn’t buy dinner at the Olive Garden, I was just happy to get money for nothing (chicks for free were not included). Regarding clowns, they have never bothered me as they apparently do others, but hoaxes often end up with unintended consequences. **Sunny,** hope you get to feeling better. Can’t the kids get themselves to school? ---

Plus steamed crabs are NOT crab legs! \*\*sari \*\*- if you need help eating the crabs, you have my number!! 😃 I won’t get them around here because for some inane reason, locals insist on making them with a salt mixture instead of pepper. ick. Maybe I’ll buy some live ones and steam 'em myself! ---

Blurfage. Tahred. Left irk early and parked myself in front of the teevee to watch news of the bombing and capture of the bomber. We are going to live it up tonight with sammiches. I just can’t be bothered to cook and clean. Hubby is irking extra hard and he jumped at the chance for sammiches. I foresee an early bedtime with Ben maybe. And for good measure one more **Blurf** [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bacon-on-this-date-in-the-mmp/766339.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bacon-on-this-date-in-the-mmp/766339.md?page=3)
