Hey Kids! I’m the new MMP! All bright and shiny. Early too! Ummmmm… why yes, I am slightly inebriated. Why do you ask? 😃 Thus, unlike last week when **Rosie** and I started simultaneous MMPs, this is not a durnkne one. Just slightly inebriated. Crown and Coke is a good thing. Hijack away! ---

First? LOL and an inebriated **Swampy** OP too! **GT** , I didn’t use any special equipment to make the cold brewed coffee but used a recipe from the Internet. It is a complicated process but the coffee brew was quite tasty. I’m just not sure if I want to repeat it again! Woo hoo! ---

I deserve inebriation. Since you’re drunk and cleaning, will you defilthify Casa Pero? I was too slothy to do it myself. And I have next week’s MMP written and saved(I’m efficient like that.) ---

Dang! I post all inebriated and bring 'em in out of the woodworks! **doggio** you efficiency astounds me. All my official like MMPs are written off the cuff with no forethought whatsoever. Oh, and I bowl like I live. Mostly in the gutter. 😃 I am also impressed with your durkn to English language skills. **Polycarp** since you are also Episcopal, I shall confess my grave sin. I didn’t go to church today. Instead I chose to do laundry, defilthyfy da cave and mow da yahd. You may now post for all the world to see, my penance. Though I am sure I have been shamed durin’ cocktail hour for missing church. And a big howdy and welcome for **Ruby, carnivorous plant (who I have deemed with a MMP nick of venusflytrap) and kopek**. The MMP is supposed to be started on Monday, Amurrkin time, but, since it’s already Monday in other parts of the world, it’s here now. Rah. ---

My we’re a chatty bunch this evening. I’m signing doggio up for next week (I’ll be…I know this is hard to believe…on vacation, with limited internet access) and CutiePie for the following week. BECAUSE I CAN. Bwahaaaahahhhahaaaha. Welcome newbies! Did you bring chocolate? I’m supposed to be asleep, but am…as per usual…quite awake. Off to attempt to fall asleep. GT ---
