Well, we’d also have to work in the obligatory topless pillow fight between Maria and Louisa. Perhaps also a scene of the shirtless guys splitting wood for the fireplace, to keep the wimmin and BWLBs happy.
Oh, and instead of the nuns stealing the distributor out of the Nazi staff car, they rig it to explode…
At one point this morning, Nava became Navel, which transmogrified into Umbligo, Spanish for navel. I didn’t post it, because I didn’t want to have to explain it at the time…
Yes…the streets of Cohoes were heavily fogged over, and it was an interesting drive. And all the trees look really pretty.
Missing us yet? 
I can totally dig that. It reminds me of Ouisa from Steel Magnolias. One of my favorite movies. Oddly enough, it’s where I got my singing whore name…AND where I stole my signature line from for the show:
“Well, you know what they say: if you don’t have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!”
Score for swampy!
Quit Laughing!
Gah…
"Ouiser
I said I don’t sleep. :smack:
But do you all thing it with a lithp?
A cookie to the first person who can say what a BWLB is. I got it on the first try. Good one Bobbio!
They will, of course, all be oiled up first. That’ll get ‘em to buy the DVD too. Keep those royalties rollin’ in!
This could be the version of TSOM I could actually sink my teeth into.
Oh, and glad you like it Uiza. I was thinking about Ouiser too. I am sooooo gay! 
what’s with the coding hamsters today?

Oh YUM! That sounds so good! As soon as I finish my run of antibiotics I’m gonna have to try that! I played around this summer and found that pineapple/orange/banana juice and pineapple flavored rum with a bunch of ice blended together makes a fantastic slushy drink. Frangelico I have on hand, the Chambord will have to be fetched from the local jug store! Orange flavored vodka, peach schnapps and orange juice would make for a nice Hairy Navel, it seems to me. (I think I know too much about alcoholic drinks, maybe!)
That was a beautiful description of a sunrise nava, I could ‘see’ it clearly. We had a nice one this am too, but as it heralds foul weather I suppose the least the skies can do is offer us those beautiful moments before the clouds move in and open up.
I am halfway through my antibiotics, and am feeling much better. If the weather holds I may drag the skiffman outside and move a flower bed! Oh, he’s not gonna like that, but I have a big bulb order on it’s way, and it’s already October. :eek:
Or I might take a nap. I have been staying up far too late at night, but I was re-reading The Talisman and once I reach a certain part of that book I just have to keep reading to the end. sigh It was marvellous. Next is The Black House, while simultaneously reading Midnight In the Garden Of Good And Evil. Which I am enjoying very much, thanks for the recommend!
rosie wins the cookie! Boys Who Like Boys. You may collect your prize the next time you are in south Jawja. What? Did I say anything about mailing it? 
Yes, Taxi, Swampy nicknamed me when I whined that I had never had a nickname here or in real life.
kai - you have me <snerk>ing over that Hairy Navel! Especially when MBG just nicknamed Nava Navel! Nava has a hairy navel! LOL - ahem. Sorry about that.
And I adore The Talisman! I was disappointed in Black House, though.
We went to lunch at some Mediterannean grill. It was this co-worker’s last day and that’s where he wanted to go. I never know what to order in these “ethnic” places (read: unfamiliar food.) The chicken was ok, and I loved the pita bread, but… eh.
Is it Friday yet?
I am booked every Saturday through October and some in November. Fire 1 class, ya know. Go ahead without me, though, and I’ll make one some other time.
It is good, but don’t make it too Chambord-heavy. I’ve found that a little weaker is better. YMMV, of course. I like the taste of the Frangelico better.
I have class tonight. We’re getting fit-tested for face pieces and will be getting ‘bottled up.’ Yes, I know it sounds like we’re hitting the bar and getting sloshed, but what it really means is we’re practicing putting air bottles on. We’ll be learning ‘skip breathing’ and ‘buddy breathing.’
Saturday we go up to the big training center in Aberdeen and get to do the big maze with all our gear on. They’ll smoke it up and we have to find our way through. I can’t wait.
The good news is that I’m left-handed and it’s my right arm. But the bad news is that this is a right-handed world anyway so I end up using it a lot more than I want to.
To add further to the delightful day I’m having, Papa Tigs came home early to watch baseball. As soon as he changed out of his work clothes, he asked me to look at a rash on his back. At which point I insisted he go straight to the telephone and call the doctor – it looks exactly like the rash I had when I came down with the shingles last year. The good news is that because I got to the doctor quickly and she got me started on an antiviral immediately, mine never moved beyond the “itchy and uncomfortable” stage into the “so excruciatingly painful you have to be hospitalized” stage, so here’s hoping that if Dr. Mama’s diagnosis is correct, he won’t have too bad a time, either. So he’s seeing the doctor tomorrow. I was pleasantly surprised that he made the appointment without arguing; usually it’s like pulling teeth to get him in to the doctor.
What is it with you men not wanting to see a doctor, anyway?
I now return you to your rewrite of TSOM. I like the sound of oiled-up boys. For the BWLBs as well as the GWLBs.
And when the heck am I supposed to get to Jawja? I have a friend in Hetlantuh who can’t wait to move back north.
Now, I might (I say “might”) be in Birmin’hum next summer (don’t ask) - How good is your throwing arm? Do cookies have to be checked at state borders?
All the earlier talk of musicals made me change my iPod playlist over to my showtumes collection.

How’s that for ecclectic?
This has been an extra annoying day today. Everytime I think I’m near completion or having something completed, someone comes in and says, “Oh, hold off, we’re missing some data because it hasn’t been input yet”, or “I can’t use the form I was using to enter data on the new DB” or, any number of things. Grrrrrrrr.
I just want them all to LMTFA and let me actually COMPLETE something!
I think I’m just slightly irritable today. Plus, I just hurt all freakin’ over. I must be fighting something, but it seems to be winning.
Nava, I hope they find out what your ailment is. My SIL was diagnosed with MS when she was around 23 or 24 years old. In the beginning, her symptons included loss of balance and weakness. I’m sorry to say she didn’t survive. Not really because of the illness, but because she DID NOT FOLLOW HER DOCTOR’S instructions. She ate and drank stuff she shouldn’t have, followed a lifestyle she shouldn’t have, etc. In the end, we had to put her in a nursing home. A month later, she was gone. The coronor said she been in a state of “euphoria” for the last year. This means she just didn’t give a damn any more.
On the other hand, I’ve known people with MS that lived with it for years and years and are still going strong.
I’m so glad I have a three day weekend coming…
Best Things To Order At Ethnic Food Places (Greek Edition):
Saganaki (sauteed cheese)
Skordalia(potato/garlic/olive oil dip)
Souvlaki
Tzatziki(yogurt cucumber dip)
Hummus
Yummy Grilled Veggies with Lemon and Olive Oil
Baklava and Loukomades For Dessert
I love Greek food. On the other hand, we never go out for Mexican, and Attacks Husband has never been to the authentic barbeque place. So many decisions.
I have a zuchinni-rosemary-potato crumble thing with cheese in the oven. It’s based closely off a Nigel Slater recipe. You saute an onion, some chopped potatoes, and rosemary in a lot of butter, toss in the zuchinni, then put it in a casserole dish and cover with cheese/breadcrumbs/walnuts/rosemary. And bake it. I’ll let you know how it is after it’s out of the oven. It smells really good. I’m hungry.
nah. To be really eclectic, you need Spamalot AND Sweeny Todd in there…
