Kalley you crack me up! I agree on the ketchup thing btw. It’s ok in meatloaf and on hamburgers. Otherwise, it is an abomination unto high heaven. Mustard, however, is nummy on hot dogs and hamburgers. That’s yellow mustard. Good ol’ Amurkin Yeller (that’s the proper southern way of sayin’ it dangergene) Mustard. All other mustards also being an abomination unto high heaven.
Ex I hereby bestow upon you the TMI Post Award of the Week. I can’t wait to try that!
To code the superscript 2 one must put into brackets: sup (before the 2) and /sup (after the 2). It comes out looking like this: Ashes [sup]2[/sup]. Thus endeth the coding lesson.
blush That’s the best compliment I’ve had since Kalley’s compliment. Burly pool GIRLS? Hairy girls with bronzed beer bellies? Well, if that’s what does it for ya have at it. <snerk>
earthpuppy a “Dukes of Hazard” 25th reunion for real? Oh please do take lots of pictures and post em. That would just have to be a hoot.

Hey Ex old buddy, don’t sweat the not being funny stuff, you’re still a farily interesting person (MENTAL NOTE: DO NOT borrow Exgineer’s cell phone. Ever.)
My phone has all of the really anoying rings, but has the option to record something through a microphone and set it as the ring. Naturally, when I discovered this I had to play with it. (The phone, you perverts.)
I had the theme song to Halloween on it during October. This was great because my cell phone rang while I was in an elevator with a bunch of strangers. I wound up having an entire half of the elevator to myself for some reason. In November I had the sound of a turkey gobbling.
I put “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” during December. January brought Mr. T saying “I pity the fool!”
Other hits include:
“Soon Kali Ma will rule the world!” - From IJ and the Temple of Doom
“Dave’s not here, man.” a la Tommy Chong
A fart. This lasted for almost 2 hours, until welbywife heard it. Then it got changed.
Now if only I could record the sound of a soul being sucked from the body I’d have something to use as a ring tone during meetings.
Ashes, why on earth would you put corn tortillas in scrambled eggs? That’s freaky and weird.
Beware: all the sugar is packed, so I can’t have tea. This is probably balanced out by dangergene’s excessively caffeinated posts. I would drink Coke, but Mr. Lissar managed to drink the whole 3 litres that we bought yesterday. Why isn’t he 500 lbs? I think he’s living proof that carbs aren’t what make you fat.
My best friend says that if you haven’t used something in eight months, you should throw it out. This is wrong. You never know when you’ve going to need that second spoon rest! Or the fifty-first empty yogurt container! or that dress that you will be thin enough to wear again soon!
In other news, we may have discovered Aerin’s (our Loud Kitten) breed. We think she’s mostly Bengal cat. She looks exactly like the pictures. This ones looks just like my kitty.
The only thing I could find mentioned was talking. She chats to us all day and all night. All the other characteristics fit.

FOR REAL!!! Right now we’re not sure if they’re gonna be playing in front of city hall for the afternoon festivities (something about permits and such), but they’re definitely playing at Mickey Dee’s (a nightclub) that night. We’ll have to go see the Daisy Duke Short-Shorts Contest for sure. I’m sure they’ll have the General Lee there, and no shortage of rednecks.
Oh please. PLEASE! I thought The Dukes of Hazard died a natural and timely death years ago. I can’t stand it. I just can’t. I went to a high school with a guy who insisted upon sniggering just like Enis (I think that was his name) all day long, and I get a facial tic to this day just thinking about it.
Oh my how I’d love to float in a pool. I think I’m getting near to qualifying as burley. I’m certainly wider. It would take some of this gravitational pressure off my poor hips. If it doesn’t rain this weekend, the children and I will probably go swimming. Last time we went, though, the water was so COLD!
I spent several hours yesterday drinking in the beautiful Kentucky countryside. I was on a farm and greeted several friendly horses and dogs, and observed a deer and her fawn, also friendly (but who didn’t come too close). The fawn was darling, bouncing all over the place. I sat talking inside a 206-year-old cabin (restored) and traveled a road that has been used as a road almost as long. It was a day for history and beauty!
I’ve ridden English Hunt seat and Western, but never tried an Austrailian saddle. I’ve always wanted to – they look like the best of both worlds.
As to falling off, well, back when we had horses, I and my sisters rode bareback like, 90% of the time, so falling off was sometimes something you did for no apparent reason at all. One minute you’re up, the next you’re down. Luckily, we were young and boneless, and these were little horses; the Appy was only 15.1 and the Quarab was 14.3 – almost a pony.
I miss them. I was spoiled by being able to have backyard horses that were big pets, and who would climb up on the back porch and beg. I haven’t ridden in years, but what I miss the most is the way they smell. (If you’re not a horse person, you just don’t understand.) I love to throw my arms around their necks and bury my face in their manes and just breathe in.
No, he wasn’t a roan, he was just steel blue all over. I’m sure he’s just a gray who hasn’t dappled up much yet.
Yep, I was right. I did a little poking around and found him. His name was Imperialism, and if you go to 2004 | 2022 Kentucky Derby & Oaks | May 6 and May 7, 2022 you can see pictures of him. It was overcast Derby day, and I couldn’t see his dapples. Also, they cover his face so he looks darker.
Or, to make it even easier, just cut and paste this:
{b]Ashes{sup]{size=1]2[/size][/sup]**
replacing the curly brackets with square brackets where appropriate.
Remember, I was a programmer for 26 years before stupidity and politics (is that redundant?) took my livelyhood away from me.
And Kallessa we will not be discussing my perceived inadequacies in front of the children.
BTW, my wife, the one who loves oysters, puts catsup on scrambled eggs. It’s enough to put me off my feed, that is.
Earthpuppy, I like Mexican food very much, but shouldn’t be allowed near beans of any kind, just so you know.
If Bumba has beans, does he go
Bumba Bumba BOOM BOOM Bumba BumbaBOOM BOOM?
I personally also don’t like hot sauce, however, I no particular aversion to it, and so people may eat in in my presence. I’m just generous that way.
Because Ex has been so good about posting this week, I want to turn the discussion to earrings, so he gets his proper dose of girly-girl stuff.
I got a second piercing in my ears in November and I’ve had nothing but trouble with them! One of them gave me fits during the six weeks when you are not suppose to remove them for any reason–I was pouring half a bottle of antibacterial clenser on it every day. I finally took them out a few days early and that one was covered with black gunky stuff. It responded very well to the antibacterial clenser once I could remove the earring for cleaning, but they hav egone back and forth getting just little infections–no, not really infections, more like irritations. And then they itch. And there’s nothing funny about itchy earlobes. I don’t remember the first pair giving me this trouble. It’s not quite bad enough to make me want to just abandon the holes and let them close up, but I just want them to stop bugging me.
Dang, Kalley, you sure know how to bring out my inner eight year old boy.
Hot sauce and salsa on scrambled eggs. Yummmmmmm! Also good on baked taters. (Well not our Taters, the spud kind. Although our Taters might taste good with hot sauce and salsa for all I know. Of course, that’d be up to our Taters and her hubby to decide that.) I do know that salsa licked off of burly men is pretty good. Hot sauce licked off of burly men fingers is also good.
Dangergene, no MEAT??? Why, why…that’s UNAMURIKUN!
Swampy, picture link of the dude, please, please, please!!!
Lil Lestat[sup]TM[/sup] eats ketchup on pizza! :eek: 'nuff said.
Kallessa, <SNORT! Snerka! SNORT>
I got my second ear piercings about 16 years ago and they did bother me more than my first ones. Funny though, I seldom (as in almost never) wear earrings in them anymore and they have never closed up.
I, too, am double pierced (in the ears, that is.) Got it done 25 years ago. I never wear earrings in the second holes anymore, and they’re still there. I never had problems with infections, which is amazing since the first piercing was done by my mother when I was 5 years old with ice and a large needle with thread!! :eek: Back then, they didn’t have the guns they use now.
Just for youTupug. I wish it were a bigger picture.
I just noticed something. I have the first post on page two and three. Ain’t I special.
I get to eat at my second favorite Japanese place tonight. It’s a birthday celebration for a friend. Today’s the bday and he wants to go there, cause it’s his favorite Japanese place. See, I love my friends, even those with no taste. I don’t know what I want. The sushi’s pretty good (not as good as my favorite place) but I’m kinda in a beef mood. Maybe I can have a sushi appetizer and some teriyaki (that don’t look right but I’m too lazy to look it up, So there!) beef for dinner. Yeah, that sounds good.
OH MY GOSH!!! Sushi is my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite! Eating sushi is an orgasmic experience for me! And I especially love drinking sake while eating sushi sitting at the sushi bar.
Bumba, I would assume since you turn your nose up at oysters, sushi is totally out of the question?
Ahem. 117 posts, over 1300 views. You know who you are.
Good about posting? I haven’t posted much at all this week. Or maybe that’s what you meant.
Speaking of dinner, I have found another use for the cell phone: impulse gratification. A few of us were on the road to an off-site location today and in the course of the discussion I thought of exactly what I wanted for dinner, and planned on making a phone call when I got back to the office. Then I thought, “Wait, I have a cell phone. I can call right now.” So I did. I placed a dinner order with my girlfriend, who will be preparing kielbasa and pirogies because I SAID SO. I most definitely wear the pants around here.
Please God, don’t let her be lurking the board today.
<snerk>
If she is lurking, you most definitely will wear the kielbasa and pirogies around here.
<snerk>
Kielbasa and pirogies… mmmmmmmm… maybe this weekend. AARGH! Can’t. Going up to see family this weekend and it’s a cookout. Oh well, at least I’ll get some brats. Ok, Kielbasa and pirogies for dinner one night next week then.
Sake! I forgot about Sake! I get to have Sake tonight! Yay!
-swampbear (it might be rice wine to you, but it’s Sake to me)
