It was a horse, it was an MMP

Okay, Papa Tigs MUST attend this conference. EVERY year. He brought home the finest assortment of swag I have EVER seen from a conference!

We’re talking the usual assortment of pens – including one that lights up blue – toys, travel cups, etc. Then we move into the better area – thumb drive, high-powered mini flashlight, and best of all, the newest fanciest BlackBerry out there! I’m talking his own personal BlackBerry (or, hopefully, soon to be MY personal BlackBerry) with voice recognition and GPS! Plus he’s one of only about 2 dozen people in a drawing for an iPod Touch, and he’s in a number of drawings for other goodies like a tablet computer. And there were other excellent swag options he decided not to partake in because otherwise he’ll have salesmen bothering him at work FOREVER.

But DAMN! We’re talking some FINE swag here!

Oh, and he brought me the cutest pin – it’s a Lady and the Tramp enamel pin, about 2" high, and best of all? The little holder thingy that slips on the pin on the backside? Isn’t your typical round one; nope, this one has Mickey Mouse ears! :smiley:

Back to drooling over Papa Tigs’ swag.

Heh heh. My work here is done. :smiley:

Just got back home after long day at work and hanging out time afterwards. Now PeterCat is telling me what a bad kitty mommy I am for leaving him home all by himself with nothing but the dog and NPR for entertainment. Looks like I wasn’t the only one spoiled with four days off.

Shower and bed soon. See ya Firday, y’all!

Go ahead, remind me of those crabcakes! makes very rude gestures at MamaTigs

Note to self: Never look up your symptoms on the internet.

Heading to bed now.

making very rude gestures back at her rude daughter

I felt it important to remind you of what you’re missing by abandoning us! And not only us, you abandoned poor FCM, too, making her lose her petsitter! So you can just suffer with the memory of those heavenly, rich, tasty, perfect crabcakes! Mmmm, crabcakes…

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

rigs I’ma be knocking on every door in your town tomrrah, there best be cookies.

Guess what i had for dinner??? Rib tips and BEER!!!

Hey, also, my friends’s band is on I-tunes!!! It’s a couple guys I used to mess around with, but they meant it, and I just liked to write lyrics and drink beer. They’re in tight with some of the Ides (of march?) and have been working on a CD. They’ve played a couple times around here and are now on I-Tunes.

Go there and search for “Tonellis” - buy the album and then say something nice in the reviews.

Yay tomorrow is Firday!

Then the day after I get to go write a test as the next step in possibly getting a new job! (And since where I have to go to write the test is near the farmer’s market I figure I’ll go there after and have some lunch and wander… maybe get some other tea or some sausages and see what people have to show since I don’t usually go in winter and I don’t know what will be there except for the ones with the permanent stalls of course).

I also got the news from a friend that a guy I met last week via her was asking after me. It’s got me strangely giddy since I’ve gotten comfortable with my single self, BFF keeps introducing me to guys in the hopes one will stick but none has in the last 3 years. Maybe that will change, it would be nice to actually date a guy for once, the past was always more… hanging out and hooking up.

Ribs tips and beer sound good for supper… I had squash, rice, and pork chops.

Mmm… those cookies do sound delicious, Rigs! I may try to make them this weekend, thanks. :slight_smile:

I am soooo glad tomorrow is Friday. One part of my job is to make changes in the employee locator, and this week I’ve been waiting for an office that had a recent re-org to send me their changes. OMG, it’s a -huge- number of changes!!! :eek: I can’t start working on them yet, though, because they forgot to send me the re-orged fax numbers (even though I specifically asked them to do that …heh). Plus, we had made some changes for one of the field offices last week, and the DB admin. accidentally mis-named the place! He did send a personal apology to the director there, though (but boy was the director pissed off about it … yikes!); I had to go in and fix the individual listings on them today. I really hate making these changes, because it’s working off of lists of names and numbers, which all blur togther for me sooner rather than later. Blargh! Not to mention that I usually have a headache later. Oh well!

Love the pics of your home, Taxi78Cab - it’s beautiful and love the colors too. :slight_smile:

Good to see you again Kai, but please come back and let us know how you’re doing!!

…Is it Firday yet?! :wink:

31 minutes till Firday. Canes lost, I’m working all day Firday and saturday, and have a giant truck to unload. Fuck

cookies sound good, rigs.

Neat walkway, Rebo

Nice house, taxi, I’m amazed by matching furniture.

{{{{Pie}}}}

Thank Fuck It’s Firday!

Morning all! Not much to contribute right now!

{{{Pie}}} I hope your ouchies get better soon!

Rigs, that recipe sounds great and reads really well! I bet if you put together “The Busy, Frustrated, Angry Woman’s Cooking Anthology”, you would sell millions!

I’ll Thank Fuck It’s Firday when I’ve finished this congressional [del]drivel[/del] idiocy. Talk about a circle jerk – a bunch of congresspeople testifying in front of other congresspeople. Otherwise known as, “Let me tell you about MY wonderful bill dealing the same subject you’re holding this hearing about YOUR wonderful bill on.” Aargh.

I was really hoping to get at least a couple hours of sleep and then finish up early – since this stupid thing is due at 8:00 am – but at this rate I’m going to just have to work straight through. My very comfy bed is calling me! Loudly! Aargh.

Why do I keep subjecting myself to this? Oh, right – because everyone’s under the same workload right now. It’s just crazy busy. i guess I’ll make the big bucks while I can. Sigh.

Sorry for all the whining lately, but I’m tired enough that’s about all I have the energy for!

I counted eight references to me in this thread, and I haven’t even posted. I NEVER get this much love when I post my usual innane babble. Are you kids trying to give me a hint? “Shaddup already and we’ll feed your attention whoring.” Rest assured I have seen your calling and was reading my MMP for the week, I just had a reason not to post before now. Of course it was due to my anti-MMP campaign, seeing how it related to one of the fundamental MMP tokens that I am doing my best to bring down.

Don’t believe me bout’ the reading? Well, long ago before I posted here I was also a reader. I’ve read long before I ever participated. Why? Because I really ain’t got much to say, life is pretty slow for me outside of work, and like mmouse I like it this way. There are two things that differentiate kai and me though; the first is that I am in no danger of being eaten by a polar bear, and the second is that when I’m bored I’ll just post for giggles.

Okay, I haven’t said anything for days, so that means I’ve got a lot to say.

::deep breath::

First of all, Flutter, I don’t see you on the map, want in? That always goes for anyone not on already. Rigs, have you tidied up the home yet? Oh, and Shadow, your OP was magical, A+! Lissla, upthread you mentioned that your baby was sleeping, odd, have you taken him to the doctor for this? I’ve seen a lot of new parents report that their babies never sleep. Move over MBG, if** tarra ** is making cookies I want some too. Morgyn,** brujaja**, Lucky, and SoapyStick, where’d you guys go? One and done? taxi, no Dunkins? For shame (also, note map comment again). How was the trip Spaz? Working all weekend doggio? that doesn’t sound fun at all. Sorry about your daughter Tag-free, with all the grumbling posters like LOUNE have been doing we seem a bit down here ourselves. Oy indeed whiterabbit, and hugs for mmmmmms ** and the crappy job. Pie, I never had a UTI, also, I’ve never said anything TMI, so you’re confusing me with someone else. rosie, in your dream you wren’t fucking Matt Damon, were you? I’m a schmuck? Oh no you didn’t, no1. No more jury duty for Taters, but unlike Dolores, she has to go back to work.Dotty, I like Puck as an abbreviation too. And I even like that her guy is labrat, even though that’s stealing my shtick. Flaming orange pee bob? Not for me. Ah, Mindfield is a mod somewhere else, someday you and me have gotta sit down and talk troll, I’m rather fascinated by them. And putrification swampy? I could do a very TMI post on this subject. Haze, you’re tied for most posts right now (more on that later). Mahna, “I brûlant votre chien”. Mom ** doesn’t like horses, don’t worry, I’m scared of them. ** SCL’s continuing saga continues to continue. MOUNE, is most creative as well. Kitty KwietTM eh, let’s market that Tupug**! Mama Tiger thinks I make no sense? How dare she? And** gt ** wonders where the heck I am. Right motherfucking here.

There, for those who get lost in the wave of posts and cannot keep up I have just summarized the MMP for this week for you.

Oh, I forgot one post by TroubleAgain, but I don’t remember it. I must have accidentally put him on my ignore list or something.
Top posters right now:

It looks like a pretty tight race more than halfway through the week. Considering the OP, I muse about wondering who the fastest horse will be this week.

Also, currently 331 posts from 40 MMPers (myself included). That’s an avergae of just over 8 posts per.

A few other things, well, two.

The spams filters here have been doing far to good of a job. Working the MMP night shift I could tell you some wonderful stories about what goes on here at night. I believe I’ve told you this story before, but it bears repeating. At night, when the mods are all sleeping in their comfy beds, every now and then a spambot would sneak in and post some spam as a thread. If it wasn’t immediately deleted a spam party would ensue. Basically it was a posting gree-for-all, because everyone knew that whatever they posted would be deleted anyways. You could say any ridiculous thing, lie, story you wanted; it was fantastic.
I was thinking about Lauren the other day. Lauren was a girl I went out with briefly, who doesn’t necessarily mean mush to me today. But every now and then I do think back on her fondly. The two of us didn’t mix for whatever reason, but she was a very silly-silly girl. We would play Battleship on Keno tickets while we waited for dinner, and I could not fathom how she never watched any TV. I still think of her everytime I’m waiting at a crosswalk too. One beautiful Boston night while we were out on a date, the walking signal changed from orange to white illuminating the outline of a pedestrian. In the cutest voice she stated, “The white man says walk!”. I’m not too sure why I thought of this, perhaps it’s all the dating talk in this week’s thread.

I wonder if there is a limit to the size of a post one can make?

Should I try to find out?

Hello?

Is this thing on? Hello?

Oh Christ!?

I think I broke it.

Success!

Not so fast, there, beebs. You’re not THAT all-powerful yet! :smiley:

Aw, couldn’t you let him twist a bit…?

Speaking of missing people – where are **Boo **and **Ivory **this week?

rigs is kinda like The Pioneer Woman without her meds. :smiley:

Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ here. YAWN Still sleepy. I’m up earlier than usual cause in a bit I need to purtify and get myself to work a little earlier today for a meeting. Woo and Hoo.

Ok, off for more caffiene and work readification.

Later Y’all!

Wait a minute… Shouldn’t we all be saying:

Happy Birthday beebs!!!

(hope i’m right)

Drat, did I really miss it by a day? Or are you just messing with us?

I was wondering about Boo yesterday.

Man, beebs, when you catch up, you really catch up!!! And make me giggle. Which is why I was missing you.

rigs, I believe that is the only recipe in my collection that contains the word *fuck *in it. You know that big Word documents can also be known as books, right? I’m sure there’s a market for an angry cookbook.

Gotta get ready for work. :mad: :rolleyes: :eek: I was up till 11 just cleaning up the body of our RFP. Now I’m going in to work on attachments.

Back later, hopefully not incredibly late.

I welcome this Firday with a mix of happiness and frustration.
I’m happy cause it’s Firday! Hooray!
I’m frustrated because I’m on day three of some intestinal thing that Pepto Bismol and Immodium seem to have no effect on. I’m almost afraid to try something else at this point, in case I anger it further.
I was also supposed to close my house today. All week long the underwriter was dragging her feet, then yesterday there was mixed news, then came the good news, we just had to get the heating contractor’s signature. Then came the bad news. My dumbfug realtor didn’t make the appointment at the title company. So now we have to wait until Monday.
Oh sure, you guys are thinking, three days? She’s complaining about three days?
BUT- Our closing has been pushed back four times now, all for such stupid reasons! I’ve had plans for showing the new house for several weeks now. Dangit! I do know once I’m over this, I’ll have quite the story to tell about buying this house, and it’s a good one.

Yay beebs you came back! And Birfday wishes to you! (If they apply.)

And Happy Leap Year Day everyone!

Oh, and I totally wanted to say that I would buy an angry cookbook. You could even have a series of angry cookbooks. Angry Holidays, Angry Dinners…

Oh yeah! Happy Firday and Happy Leap Day as well! :slight_smile:

Up and caffeinating, although I am running late this morning. Heh, one morning in a row is about all I can muster for getting in early, I guess. :smiley: Honestly, I woke up at 3 am yesterday, that’s probably the only reason I was able to do it, because I didn’t go back to sleep.

I am sincerely happy that it is Friday, though, and will try not to watch the clock too much today … :slight_smile:
