Attention MMPers! I do believe we’ve just got **Swampy **all oogied… 
But a rainbow shirt, bowler hat, pink hot pants (with suspenders) and platform shoes with goldfish in them are apparently just fine.
Go figure.
The Boy and I went on an adventure at Fort DeSoto yesterday afternoon. We reviewed the troops, searched for buried treasure, watched people fish and threw shells into the water. We also watched some of the birds, saw a nice sunset and then stared down a racoon. After that we went for some chicken strips and a pint of Guiness, then finished up at the Treasure Island Fun Center. Nothing humbles you like a six year old whooping your butt at video games he’s never played before. Although I did win two free games in three plays on The Simpson’s pinball machine. I own that game. Ha.
bumba, try drawing his mouth open and curl those top lips around to meet his cheeks. That should make him look more smiley. I think it’ll be an adorable logo then.
Course you could always fall back on hooter-swampy as an alternative.
fcm, if your plan works, lemme know. I wanna try it, too!
I gotta work till 3:00 today and then I don’t have to come back till next year. Aw, jeese, now we gotta practice writing 2005 so we don’t goof up on our checks and such again. I hate that.

shibb, ain’t a six-year-old a tad young for beer???
He only had one.
There’s enough remnants still around to show what happened, but I’m glad I missed the action. You see, I caused it.
I was back in Indiana in time for the blizzard to hit, and there I was bitching to anyone who’d listen that I wanted to go back to Virginia for a proper green Christmas the way God intended it to be. After all, it’s been a life goal of mine to live anywhere south of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi where I would only have to shovel 1" of snow twice a year.
God, in his inifinite sense of divine comedy, heard all this, and dumped 12" on Norfolk and the Peninsula on December 26th so he could say “F*ck off, Bob”. That was the most snow in one shot that the area has had in about 40 years.
Well, now, that’s just style! The Hooter’s[sup]TM[/sup] outfit, on the other hand, oogies me cause it’s just plain tacky. I mean would you be seen at the mall in orange short shorts? I didn’t think so.
VunderBob howdy from the land of no snow.
Course, now that I’ve said that publicly there’ll be 12" of that ogforsaken white stuff on the ground within the next 4 days. I tend to bring curses down upon my head that way
Now he looks a little mad! Will you be selling your soap on ebay?
Isn’t the Hooter’s[sup]TM[/sup] motto something like “Delightfully Tacky, Yet Unrefined”? So the shorts are supposed to be tacky. Trust me, Swampy, you have to let out your inner Hooters girl.
- Shibb, who’s not touching any comments which include the words Swampbear, VunderBob and 12 inches.
As long as it’s not a floppy, wide brimmed hat.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
MissTee! Long time, no flirt, darlin’!
Inner Hooter’s girl? Well, ok, as long as I can wear my platform heels with goldfish and my rainbow shirt and cute little hat. For those of you who haven’t witnessed what a fashion statement that outfit makes, I will try to remember to post a link to it from home tonight. It’s lurvely beyond words.
Bumba, will you have a website for your soap? I’ll buy some when you’re up and running.
Hey, how come no one has offered to be my sugar daddy or to support me so I no longer have to be a fed gov slave? Well???
Swampy, darlin, I just gotta see the picture you’re making reference to. When are you going to post the linky-link?
Vunderbob, we had a proper green Christmas here…no snow fell at all, at least where I live. Actually, this is the latest that some of our ski resorts have opened. So, at any rate, if ever go west of the Mississippi, you’ll see green Christmases here.
I used to love Sugar Daddies and Black Cows, those were soooo good. 'Course, I got in trouble with my mom and the dentist because of a black cow. I had a sorta wire retainer on the back of my bottom teeth that was attached to two spacers where the dentist had pulled teeth in the back of my mouth on each side. At any rate, I was doing the pull and stretch thing and the black cow got stuck to the wire. I stupidly pulled some more and pulled the wire retainer almost right out of my mouth. The problem was that the wire was attached to those spacers in the back of my mouth, so it wasn’t going anywhere. Worse, it was a Saturday, at around 5:00 p.m. Boy, oh boy, did I ever get in trouble…
Well, I better get to work now. Maybe they’ll let me go home early today, I don’t feel like being here. At least today is my Friday, since tomorrow is a Federal holiday.
Work sucks today. I just found out that the industrial reports (saying how much total industrial-related space there is, what part of that is available and therefore what the vacancy rate is) that I did in Jan '04 and July were missing about a million square feet. That’s after I sat with more knowledgeable people before each of those reports and asked them what they thought of the list of buildings that I had. Both times everyone signed off, but now it’s still my fault that it’s screwed up. :mad: I mean I had a list of >800 buildings in 10 counties and I, as inexperienced as I am, was supposed to notice that we were missing another 100 buildings??
And now we’ve got to figure out how to say in the new report “although we made significant changes to the inventory on the last two reports, we still had it wrong and need to make more major changes this time” which doesn’t look good to the rest of the world. They’re going to start thinking that the old reports aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. (If anyone here is in commercial real estate in NY’s Capital Region, please don’t get me fired for publicly admitting this!!)
I like the guy who did this before me and I worked with him for a couple years before he left and I took over. But right now I’d like to strangle him for leaving it in such a mess!
Urk. Sorry I didn’t post yesterday. It was busy beyond words.
Other Quasi-Daughter arrived, was fed, put to bed, woken up, fed again, Quasi-Daughter came over, Friend From Work showed up spontaneously, Quasi-Daughter and Driving Husband came over, Mr. Lissar’s godparents came over.
I made them all dinner. The ham soup and chocolate fondue for dessert. There was much wine, cider and eggnog.
Somehow we all ended up at the godparents’ house watching Goodbye Lenin and drinking tea until very late. Good movie. I recommend it.
Other QUasi-Daughter hasn’t woken up yet. She had an overight flight here from Vancouver yesterday, and only got three hours sleep and a two hour nap in the afternoon. I just found out that a) she’s probably getting married in the next year or so and b) she wants me to make her dress.
Aagh.
Thanks for your opinions everybody. Yes, we would like to sell on-line eventually, but we have a great deal to do to get the brick-and-mortar site up and running first. I’ll let ya’ll know.
Swampy, there will probably be two bears in the tub on Valentine’s Day.
We want to borrow a slipper tub for our window display, and we have a great big (not Gund) teddy to sit in the tub. He’s kinda a stern looking bear though, but what can ya do?
But we might try to get a half of a wine barrel for a tub instead, this being wine country an’ all. :drunken smilie: Nothin’s set in stone yet.
We’ve also decided to sell bath oils (probably) and lip balm, 'cause we’ve got a recipe for it, and it’s easy to make, and other bath related products, like soap dishes. If I make some slumped glass soap dishes I can write off our kiln. And we’ll sell teddy bears if we find a wholesaler, just because. There’s a couple of big gift and accessories shows coming up that we’re going to try to go to, one in Portland and one in Seattle. We’ll see.
Does it seem like I’m obsessing about this soap shop? It seems like that’s all we’ve (Missus and I) talked about for the last few days.
For the record - no snow here in Orygun for Christmas. Though it did get down to the high 30s at night.

Bumba, if you make lip balm, you might want to think about Sugar Daddy flavored.
Just sayin’ is all…
Did you check between the couch cushions?
