Yes, but [Aroused Carburettor](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&safe=off&q=aroused+carburettor) gets 125. Which is more disturbing?

Bless you. Here’s a tissue…double quilted with aloe vera 🆒

And you didn’t have to scurry, a simple barrel, bustle, dart, dash, dust, fly, get going, hasten, hop along, hotfoot, hurry, race, rip, run, rush, scamper, scoot, scud, scutter, scuttle, shoot, skim, sprint, step along, tear, whirl, whisk and zip would have done. :eek: 😃

Well we will have to put **Draelin** through the “initiation”. And just because you sponsored him doesn’t mean _you_ get to use the bullwhip.

Me = 😃 **CandidGamera** = ☹ **Draelin** = :eek:

I was just passing through and wanted to say hi. It’s been a long night and everyone on the boards is snoozing. so-sshhhh, I’ll try to keep it down.  
I know I’m not one of you brats. Even though I was raised with the Sheen boys and partied w/ Rob and Allie…hell I remember when that Downey guy didn’t even drink…yeah I been around awhile.

Before I go, do y’all have some lime salt I can borrow? I’m kinda on a scavenger hunt myself. I got the Cuervo…but I need some limes or lemons. You see I have about three dozen big blue crabs and I’m gonna boil them up. Got plenty of seasoning and butter…maybe throw some ears of corn and red taters in the pot. What’dya think? Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to hijack y’alls party. I’ll just get the salt and burn off.  
Burn…I almost forgot there’s gonna be some smoke too. Sorry no cloves. 😉  
Have fun…sure glad I’m not in Florida right now.  
How ya doin **Harmless** safe I hope. 🙂

I have limes, lemons AND mango margarita mix. Which would you prefer? Oh hell, take all of them in case you change your mind while killing that bottle of Cuervo.

So when is the crab boil? I can bring some Cajun slaw (the stuff without mayo) or perhaps a big ole pot of clam chowda? OR how about some homemade french bread to soak up all those yummy drippings?

Just checking in real quick in case we lose power again.  
It was off for about 12-13 hours.  
Things have settled down for a bit, but according to the weather channel we are going to be in for a lot worse in a few hours.

**t-keela** I’m jealous!  
I wants some crab. ☹  
: grabs a net and steps out the back door into lake Tallahassee : 😃

Y’all have fun!

Crap. This is what I get for not going online all weekend. But I am here and ready, nay, _eager_ for my initiation!

This is going to involve an 18"DHIBJD, isn’t it?

**Hal**! The game’s still on! I won’t tell anyone I saw you…

So I was sitting in psychology class today, partly daydreaming (not that psychology is boring, but I digress) and I hear the term “random neural firings.” And of course, being a loyal Doper, I think to myself, “Self! ‘Random Neural Firings’ would be a sublime band name!” And Self agrees. And so I began to write down other tidbits my teacher said that could be band names.

So, in lieu of any other immediate BP events (and since I don’t want to open a separate thread), I propose a band name competition. Anybody want to judge? 😃

Okay, I’ve got a movie plot, kinda, in mind that’ll be perfect for Brats and any other dopers who want to make Cameos. I’ll get it written up for the 10th.

**Nightwatch** , since you so kindly volunteered to judge we will play your game until **elfkin** has finished planning hers. Then we will play that game. Then we’ll have some cereal. I recommend Frosties. Then we will plan an initiation ceremony for **Draelin**. Then **Draelin** will go :eek: .

That’s about it. Good plan, huh?

So back to the band name. I take it they have to come from day-to-day things.

My microwave says **"Hinari Lifestyle"**

My oven says **"Rangemaster"**

I’ve got two from a leaflet that just came through my door: **“Walk In Theft”** and **"Win Your Rent"**

On par with “Dogs Die In Hot Cars”, I give you **"Young Children In Play Are Unaware Of Potential Dangers And Hazards, Therefore Responsible Adult Supervision Is Required."**

I thought **Street Corner Goth-mocking session** was pretty good myself.  
Of course it has various variations 😉 such as  
**Bus Stop Goth-Mocking session**  
**Strip Mall Goth-mocking session**  
You get the idea.

I’m fine and dandy! 🙂  
Why? Did I just get wooshed or is that a reference to the fact that I didn’t make reference to your big blue crabs?

I thought I was just being polite! 😃

You know…I was going to post to the lock down thread: I don’t believe I’ve ever had tequila.  
Vodka - check  
Whiskey - uh-huh  
Beer - checkola and then some  
Wine - yech! but tried it.  
Champagne - 😃  
What am I forgetting? – meh – check it anyways. 😛

I liked the blue Aftershock. It tasted like Listerine.  
All I can find around here is the red. It tastes like a fire ball.
