Well some of us are in uni. And working very hard!  
What? Ok, I’m going to do some work now…

Yep. Working hard…working hardly…hardly working. Right?  
Happy Thanksgiving, especially to you non-US Brats. I’m gonna go pig out now.

**harmless** , I was thinking of you yesterday.  
I’ve never cared for Bailey’s. Too sickly-sweet and (IMO) it has an unpleasant tang. I’ve also never liked anything Irish-cream flavored.

My sister and her husband just went on a trip to Ireland and brought back some Guiness Irish Cream (They toured the Guiness distillery). This is brand spankin’ new stuff - they just started selling it here in the US. I had some last night, and boy, was it yummy. Smooth and sweet (but not too sweet), and just delicious.  
I had two small cordial glasses of it, then we started putting it in our coffee. Oooh, baby. Me likey. Me likey _A LOT._

I’d just like to take this opportunity that, as a person who does not work in a retail store, working on the day after Thanksgiving is a crashing bore.

Thank you.

Still, I’d rather be really bored than work in a retail store today.

Also, it apparently makes you leave random words out of your posts.

It may be the copious amounts of alcohol but I can’t find any missing words in your post **Hal**.

And **Gemma** can’t either but then she’s just too tired to come over to the computer and check.

Yay for alcohol!

Ok, I was a bit quick of the mark. E-mail has now been sent. And I’m taking **Ilsa** ’s prowling privileges…for a week. That’ll teach you. I don’t know what because I’m too tipsy to think straight. 🙂

I, uh, picked up this AK-47 and 100 boxes of ammo at Wal-Mart. I’ll just sit here and look menacing. (You do know not to try to take guns from armed people, don’t you? HUH! HUH!!!)

😃

Hate to break it to you, **Ilsa\_Lund** , but that’s not live ammo.  
They are blanks.  
_But_, they are extra loud blanks in case you have to deafen someone to death. 😛

**BiblioCat** , about time you came around…can we still pour the Bailey’s directly on you though? 😉 Og willing, I’ll be posting your Brat today.  
**wolf\_meister** , looking good! I’ll have to pop over there a bit and post something.

Sure, if you’ve got Antonio Banderas somewhere around to lick it off. 🙂
