Don’t keep us in suspense, what was the one-liner? Finish the book? Did Remo spank anybody else? How’s the peanut butter/chocolate fetish coming along? I’m up for a Nov dopefest. I left a half full bottle of good wine there. And I’d drive twice as far to see you swish your hair around again. 😃 ---

Well, my Mom seems to like the idea of a trip to the zoo. I may be short the oldest mini-Marli, though; his father said something about taking him turkey hunting. **Horseflesh** , do the ostriches give belly dancing lessons? 'Cause I’m having a little trouble learning that darn belly roll… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Marlitharn \* > \*\*Horseflesh, do the ostriches give belly dancing lessons? 'Cause I’m having a little trouble learning that darn belly roll… \*\* I think the ostriches are strictly old school. Foxtrot, box step, waltz, etc. Belly dancing is taught by the giant pandas. For a really good time, head over to the monkey section for some good old fashioned squaredancing. Ah, it’s feeding time at my own personal zoo. Better toss the rabid ponies some scraps or they’ll start eating the furniture again. Hey, **misstee** , how are your kids? Still throwing groceries? ---

[QUOTE] \*Originally posted by Horseflesh \* **Don’t keep us in suspense, what was the one-liner?** Miss Piggy: Kermie, whisper sweet nothings into my ear… Kermit: Uh, motorcycle cop. Why does that make me giggle? Guess you had to be there. > [@](#): > > **Finish the book? Did Remo spank anybody else?** Yup. He spanked all the little brats that were trying to kill him. I was wondering if you were a fan of the books too, after your comment about the Master of Sinanju. Guess you googled it? > [@](#): > > **How’s the peanut butter/chocolate fetish coming along?** I’ve only eaten one today, but I made it last for several hours and savored every morsel. 😉 > [@](#): > > \*\*I’m up for a Nov dopefest. I left a half full bottle of good wine there. And I’d drive twice as far to see you swish your hair around again. 😃 \*\* You just want to see me land on my butt on the coffee table again… Awesome! And **Baker** is interested, too. I bet I can get those durn Iowans down here again (I’m just that good 😉 ), so that will make six of us. **Erika** , **Marlitharn** , **Rexdart** , **SkipMagic** and **auntie em** will make 11 if they’re available. I think **Enderw24** has something against me taking pics of him sniffing **Skippy’s** butt, so I may have to promise not to do that to get him here. Just don’t tell him about the hidden cameras… I’ll start a new thread once I get a little more interest and check with my Iowan pals on the date. Oh, BTW - the May 15th date we had planned isn’t going to work, so we’ll have to pick another weekend around that time. Music for **Skippy** : _You got to me, You brought me to my knees. Never thought I’d say please, girl. You got to my soul, You got control, You got to me, you’ve got to me mine._ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by sperfur \* > **I was wondering if you were a fan of the books too, after your comment about the Master of Sinanju. Guess you googled it?** Sort of. I remembered Sinanju as a city in Korea when I studied a map of it before I went over there. I’ve got a thing for maps, all the purdy, squiggly lines. Googled to remember where exactly it was located. Otherwise, no, not a fan of the books. But I’ve never read one either. Good reading? For those that don’t know, **Baker** ’s pies are good enough to warrant digging a tunnel all the way to Ashland to get a piece. I’ve got my shovel. Pssst, **Baker**. You still having Internet Explorer problems? I can burn a cd for you that should help out. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Horseflesh \* > **Otherwise, no, not a fan of the books. But I’ve never read one either. Good reading?** I’m re-reading the ones I have and plan to make a trip to the trade-a-book store with my list to pick up more. I’m really enjoying them. My dad is the one who got me into them (he just didn’t know it). They’re typical guy books, only with a fantastic dose of humor thrown in on top of the action. ---

Do any of the Iowegians pass near Maryville or St Joe on their way south? Im carless for a while, as I wrecked mine. If I could get a ride, I could almost gaurentee my attendence. ---

I am _always_ up for a dopefest. November sounds grand. :^) Which books are these? And I’ve watched movies with far less reason… and I think it’s funny. ---

If it’s a KC fest, or we take the KC route to Columbia, we wouldn’t be too far away. It would be a bit of a detour, though. ---

**Wikkit** , thanks for taking the time to look that up. I almost stopped by yesterday when I was in town. I thought it was to late by the time I got done with the game. Nice to see you posting to this thread. ---

It wasnt too bad of a crash. I worked a double shift, then went to a concert. I was tired, but not that tired. Highway hypnosis kicked in and I hit a utility pole. I was unscathed, my car didnt fair too well though. The engine fell off it’s mount and sheard the drive shaft in two. It won’t drive. But it might be fixable. When some of my gear head friends get around to it, I gave them permission to hook it up and fix it. So, we’ll see. Im in a small town, so it’s not a huge deal. Ill see if I can get a ride one way at least, but yeah, I could pay for gas either way, ---

So, really, I guess I’m up for anything. But if I go to the zoo, don’t be surprised if the zoo’s missing one tiger and one aligator by the end of the day. I’m not saying anything…I’m just saying is all…ya know? ---

I am awake because a Jasper decided to stab me in the face. Repeatedly. I was laying there, snuggled up with my body pillow (who’s name I shall not reveal at this time… 😃 ) and he placed his little paw on my mouth and pressed his claws into my lips. Isn’t that a sweet story? Purr. Stab. Puuuuuuuuuurrrr. Stab. Purr. Stab. No sleep for Mickey. ---

:::: bump:::: I need everyone who is bringing me kids to email me their names and genders so I can finish the goodie bags for the kiddies. I will also bring a few extras just in case someone decides to bring a niece or newphew at the last minute. I am looking foward to the zoo. ---

:::bump and grind::: I’ve politely been informed me that I cannot attend the zoo event naked. Even though the animals will be naked. I just don’t think that’s fair.
