Funny. Saturday night my wife and I went a party. We brought the kids, but because there were going to be mostly adults at the party, we brought a small TV/VCR combo in case the kids got restless and wanted to watch a video in one of the back rooms. So, at the end of the party, I’m walking out with this TV in my arms, and, naturally, some of the partygoers were commenting, “Oh, nice party favor”, and stuff like that, and I said, “Oh no, this is my TV. I carry it everywhere. 'Course it’s 20 minutes to Wapner.”

Big laugh. 'Course, they were all drunk at that point. 😃

I’m profoundly confused. Lady **Ghanima** should have sent the email to me, but my email address wasn’t public; therefore she sent it to **AngelicGemma** , who sent it to **TiggrKitty** ; next on the list was her assistant, **mlerose** , but she sent it to **Ilsa\_Lund** instead. He sent it to me, and I sent it to the Doper below him on the website - **Rufus Xavier**.

Now I’ve gone and made m’self dizzy.

You did fine. Here’s where we went wrong:

**Tick** skipped **Cluricaun** , **harmless** skipped **FilmGeek** and **Tiggrkitty** skipped the others. I’m just trying to get this back on track.

Well obviously **Rufus** I skipped **Cluricaun** because, like you said, there hasn’t been any posts in a while, and obviously **harmless** skipped **FilmGeek** for being outrageously drunk from (ahem) testing and obviously **TiggrKitty** skipped the others in her experiments with psychological torture…  
…and obviously I’m talking out of my arse. Way to keep us on track Rain Man.

::purposely drops box of toothpicks, walks away whistling innocently::  
ATTENTION **HARMLESS**!

Poor old **AngelicGemma** is sad because she doesn’t have a brilliant rendition of herself yet from a talented and skilled artist. If **Cluricaun** were around I’d have him kissing your butt right now. Could you please make hers a priority so she thinks I’m the greatest? 😃 Thank You.

I can’t remember if she gave a description so I’ll email some help over. Thanks babe, you’re a star.  
As of this post I, your humble leader, am butt nekkid. Yes, really. I decree we should all be butt nekkid.

I also decree that **Hal Briston** shall no longer have to endure the ridicule of always being called “Number Two” and shall recieve the title “Minister of Child Production”. Along with this his wife, **kittenlm** shall now be recognised as “Official Bun Oven”

:smack: Okay. I have no excuse other than I was having a “blonde” moment. I will punish myself for being a nitwit.

Obviously not, or you would not have _all caps_’d me. :dubious:

ahem. 😛

That being said… I pass into evidence [Charter Brat Minutes from the 20[sup]th[/sup] of October, the year of our Og 2004.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5391925&postcount=73)

Also, it’s **BiblioCat** ’s birthday and I’ve already started on her.  
So I sayeth unto thee: _neener, neener; get in line._ 😃

ok,ok, oKAY! I’ll do **AngelicGemma** after her.  
Does she know you called her “old” though? 😛  
: strips buck nekkid :  
Well, looky here…I’ve found my pussy. 😉

HE’S HOME!  
We were out putting up fliers, and had stopped off for some bbq and a pitcher (to kill the pain, of course) when our neighbor called and said he just saw the cat in the middle of the street and had run around the building when he tried to grab him.  
We ran home and after a few minutes of searching and clarifying that “the middle of the street” was actually our parking lot :rolleyes: I spotted him peering at me from around the side of the building. **Yepmas** came around the other way and we cornered him by the a/c units.  
Jesper got chicken and lovin’s and groomin’ and all the spankin’s he could handle. 😃 He wouldn’t let me put him down for a good 20 minutes.  
: sniff :  
I love my kitty. 🙂

Drinks for all! 🙂😛😉 ;j 😃 :o :eek: 🆒

Yay for VodBulls on Friday!!

If you need an explanation for that you’ll have to wait until tomorrow, or later today rather because it’s nearly 4am and I need sleep.

I should actually get up for my 9am lecture but I have nothing else for the rest of the day so why the hell should I? 😃

And congratulations should go to **AngelicGemma** who isn’t actually old at all and who managed to stay of the Dope for an entire night to do her homework. Good girl. It’s just a shame you missed that excellent quip between **Rufus** and **Nightwatch**. Unfortunately it got deleted somehow never to return. I’d try to explain it but I’d never to it justice.  
Oh well… 😃

Now that harmless’ cat has returned, we all can relax and enjoy some laughs.  
This link is GREAT !!!  
[http://dubyamovie.com](http://dubyamovie.com) /

I already posted that in “The Pit”. (I figured posting it anywhere else would get lots of replies such as “the election is over !!!” and so on.)

Great casting choice of Don Knotts as Dubya !!!

Really, indulge me on this one. It will be worth your while to visit the link.

Oh yay!!! That is so cool you found the little furball so quickly. I am so happy for you and Jesper. Is he grounded now? Sabrina certainly is, for the rest of her adult life.

Nice one **wolf\_meister** I was a little concerned that he played the part a little _too_ well.

> [@TiggrKitty](#):
>

Are you kidding? She’s got a taste for the outside world now. No doubt she’ll be sneaking out to go out [drinking with her new friends](http://www.whataboutcats.com/movies/bacardi_party.html). One day you’ll find catnip hidden in her bed. You’ll call her a tramp, she’ll call you “FSSSSSSSS RROOUW!”

I’m afraid it’s all downhill from here. I recommend you watch the film [Thirteen](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328538/). It could prepare you for the worst.
