Ex I thought the whole Angel Pants thing was just so I could get hand dipped chocolate. The shrimp dip would be nice. And since Kn*ckers is already going by Wal-Mart, I’m sure she wouldn’t mind picking up some of those tumblers. They are nice. I have a UGA tumbler with a picture of Uga, the school mascot on it. It became mine when a friend left it at my house and I wouldn’t let him take it back.
Frozen candy bars…mmmmmmm… FCM in honor of Rue we could get some Snickers. HAH! I’m a laugh a minute.
Wintermute thanks for the gentleman compliment. Just please don’t dribble in the potato salad is all I ask.
Lissla glad ya liked the suck uppage. I can do that real good when I want to.
welby you’re more than welcome to the pool party but you have to stop tormenting the neighbor’s weiner dogs. And leave the squirrels alone fer cryin’ out loud!
Alrighty, kids, I’m returning triumphant from WalMart with ice, plastic cups and double-walled transparent tumblers a-plenty. Also a partridge in a pair tree. What should I do with it? They were 50% off in the crafts department, and I just can’t resist a bargain. The partridge is well-behaved, if a little peckish.
Heehee.
Yay for pool parties! Is there a lawn chair free somewhere? Soon as I slather on this SPF45 sunblock, I’m looking forward to catching some rays.
For some reason, this really cracked me up! I am so easily amused…
Ex, chocolates are not optional, as Wintermute has pointed out. Dipping your hand in chocolate up the the wrist is less than socially acceptable, but what you do in the privacy of your own home is certainly none of my business.
So, which bathing suit should I wear? The one with the skirt-thingy, the one with the bright flowers, or the one with the fakey cutouts? Well, I hate the skirt one. And the one with the cutouts looks so much better on the hanger than on me, so I’m thinking the flowers win. And my bright pink flip-flops. And a straw hat. And sunglasses, so I look like a movie star.
Here’s my lawn chair, I’ll just set it up here.
I brought some baked beans (I’m famous for these), some cheesecake bites and some chocolate chip cookies. I also brought some luminaries and tiki torches in case this is an all nighter.
Whoa. JeffB really came through. Who knew the platypi… erm, the platypuses… uh, those animals known in the singular as “a platypus,” had such a following? We’re still on for the 24th, yes?. Just don’t bring 'em to the pool party. We’ve been warned.
We’ve got daiquiri fixin’s, dip, chips, baked beans (yum), crackers and now cookies. I like gin and tonic, but I can be flexible. I have a bit of a problem with rum which stems from an experience with a bad cannoli, but that’s another story.
And we’re also soaking wet. Thanks a whole big bunch, Copper.
Oh yeah, I can see it now… picture it… Sicily 1942… no that was Estelle Getty’s schtick on Golden Girls… anyway, I’d be slaving away at the blender, pumping out daquiris like nobody’s business when a shower of sparks flies from the blender! Ah! It’s on FIRE! So what should I do? Need water! Hey! A POOL is loaded with water… Splash! Bzzzzzap! And the lights go out in Georgia. Luckily welby dropped his frozen Baby Ruth (at least that’s what I want to call it) in the pool and everyone hopped out. Except for Ex who’s just a little slow. Sorry Ex.
And shrimp? Ugh! Sea-worms! Blegh!
Heh. Ex said Lissla is “flogging the platypus”. Wait, that really doesn’t mean anything dirty, does it?
-Rue. (curséd cheap blender!)
I’m not too fond of daquiris. Might I have a mai tai instead?
Deep-fried Twinkies™ aren’t bad. The sponge-like nature of the Twinkie™ body however causes it to suck up more oil than my Mom’s old Dodge. I shan’t be indulging in them much methinks. I forgot to mention that my brother served them with a creamy banana-yogurt sauce. He’s like that.
My black kitty is currently hissing her head off at my orange tabby. I had to take him to the vet this morning for teeth cleaning. He had gingivitis. I tell him to be sure to floss, but does he ever listen to me? Pfft. I suppose he smells a little odd to the black kitty which is why she’s acting like that.

Well, dwyr, one might just say you’ve had one too many mai tais already. Or four or five:D
sugar britches it is, kn*ckers, as long as there’s chocolate involved.
I don’t like WalMart any more and, as a matter of fact, a lot less.
But I will send you all sunscreen for the pool party. But I won’t buy it at WalMart.
Copper_Moon, whom I shall now designate as my straight board crush, be careful with the cannonballs. The deep end is only 6 feet and there is no diving board.
Pool Update
It’s a done deal folks. I put half the amount down last night. They’ll start on it the first week in June, right after the tree guy finishes taking down the 6 pine trees that have to go first. I kinda hate losing the trees, but then again, yay! pool! and yay! less pine straw to rake! It’s gonna be so nice. The size of the pool will be 18’ x 36’, depth ranging from app. 3 1/2’ to 6’. Concrete around the pool will be 8’ on one side, 10’ on the other, and 6’ on both ends. Soon as the pool is in, I’m gonna have a privacy fence installed around it. Maybe next year I’ll put a privacy fence round the whole back yard, but it’s a big yard, so don’t know yet. Course now I want a walkway from the back porch out to the pool, a cabana, new lounge chairs, some of those cool lounge chairs for the pool, a couple tables and chairs… this is gonna be expensive ain’t it?
swampbear (all giddy with excitement over his impending pool)
The hot tub’s on the back porch. Being as it’s all wired in with its very own breaker box and all, it will continue to live there. Besides, it’s a lot easier to run back into the house naked from the back porch. [sub]was that outloud?[/sub]
I’m not “swiping your lame gimmick”, Ex. I just like platypi. Hmmph.
Cheesecake bites sound good. Can we deep fry them?
Oh, anyone want to come over here and clean while I’m at work? I have a houseguest who’s staying until Saturday arriving today at 5:30, and I get off work at 5:00. It’s pretty messy, owning to another friend with a cooking enthusiasm being here last night and insisting that we bake bread, make a complicated stew, and strawberry shortcake. Also, we still haven’t finished our laundry or put all our stuff away after last weekend’s trip.
So I can’t find the floor for the junk, and I’d appreciate help. ::echoing silence:: Come on, guys! I’m bringing daquiris for the pool party!
