It happens. My mother calls me Petunia. I have no idea why.
that’s **nothing even close ** to your real name!!!
And I don’t think I particularly resemble a petunia, either.
ARGH!!! The corporate IT people at my company are COMPLETE IDIOTS!
And of course you told them that this was A for ash producing (wood, paper, furniture, small kittens), B for burning fluids (oil, hydraulic fluids, used mouth-washing saline solutions) and C is electrical (TVs, electric pencil sharpeners, switchboards that don’t exceed 450V AC), right?
And your “congregation” area is properly called vindalooloo et spitzatti, which is pronounced, er, um, “congregation.”
I am lodging a protest with the nearest Chinese embassy. Why? I cannot get a real fortune out of a fortune cookie anymore.
Venture not all in one boat.
In bed! <snerk>
:dubious: 
:crickets:
Waiddaminit… Is this thing on?
Sean I hear ya about the lack of quality in Chinese fortune cookies lately. I mean, my last one said this:
You are highly regarded in your community.
So, ok, putting <snerk>IN BED!<snerk> after it is perhaps a teensy weensy bit amusing but, come on, there’s just little to no juvenile potential at all. Apparently QA within the fortune cookie industry is somewhat lax of late. Maybe I should pursue this as a career path so we can get some decent <snerking> back in our fortune cookies.
That’s the spirit. 
Okay, everyone. I’m a man on a mission. My task, which I have chosen to accept, is to venture out into the wilds of Suburbia, fending off the ferocious four-wheeled lighted metal beasts and the retail tax of death, and reach the promised land of the Shack of Radios, wherein, if the legends are true, I may find the sacred Ancient Artifacts of Cables, providing the missing link between my computer and my television.

Wish me luck!
I am so sure you are going to show this to ACBG, Mr. Funny Man, ain’tcha?
As far as cookie fortunes go, I’d much rather see the likes of the last two over something like
I see burning jet fuel and twisted aluminum in your future.
Naw, someone else answered the ABC question re: fire extinguishers. I answered the PASS question. PASS = Pull the Pin; Aim the Nozzle/Hose; Squeeze the Handle; Sweep from side to side at base of fire.
Don’t all of you feel so very educated in fire safety now?
Sean, your fortune cookie reads like the subject line of spam mail.
oooh look who’s home at 1 PM
and guess who doesn’t want to be.
I fainted at school today (go me. Even my body’s a drama queen.) so they sent me home. I’m mad. :mad: <-- like that. I’m fine! I can’t be home sick! That means I can’t go to rehearsal and I won’t be allowed to go to dance class! It also means I’m missing class, which means I’ll have to make up work. I’ll also probably have to call in to work, which is never a good thing to do. I wish people would quit overreacting.
So because I’m so bummed, I got myself a real membership. You can’t get rid of me now!! bwahahaha!
Bobbio that’s exactly why I never get Chinese food before boarding an airplane.
Yay, Dotty’s a member now! Or should I say, she said <snerk> member! <snerk> Hope you are feeling ok after your fainting spell. Why did you faint? [del]Nosy[/del] concerned MMP cool kids want to know.
Puggy as if I needed to give him anymore encouragement. 
what ever gave your fevered little mind the impression we wanted to get rid of you? gracious!
Glad you finally forked over the dead presidents. Officially **welcome ** (as opposed to the guest welcome we gave you the first time you showed your ‘face’)
Welcome! Have some… well, the danish pastry will be done in about fifteen minutes, but I would eat it immediately. It will be hot.
I’ve gotten the kitchen clean, and messed it up again. I’m thinking of making a tex-mex chicken casserole thing today or tomorrow. I have lots of shredded chicken. Not the chicken breasts I mentioned earlier, but the product of going through the freezer, pulling out chicken carcasses, and crockpotting them. Now I have shredded chicken and some nice homemade chicken broth.
And in a few minutes, strawberry and chocolate danish strudely things.
'Wouldn’t". I wouldn’t eat it immediately because it will be hot. Sheesh.
Exactly. At least that’s a fortune. I have no idea what you would call the last couple of ones I’ve gotten.
Hey, can anyone here tell the difference between Monel and 316SS just by looking at it? Well, we can’t here either. That’s why we had all the little Monel and 316SS bolts, nuts, and other peieces not clearly marked sorted separately in their own trays in the Vidmar. Until today. I went to get some Monel nuts, couldn’t find them in the old bin location, and finally found them all (316SS and Monel) jumbled together in one place.
And a bunch of pressure gauges that were marked 3-1/2" are really 4-1/2". And my co-workers wonder why I hate people.
Did Mandy the Martian or Roundboy have anything to do with either mix-up? Good reasons to open a can of whupass on either/both of them…
<snerk>
heh…
I work in a Chinese restaurant. I get to hear people reading their fortunes aloud every day- it’s the hardest thing in the worl (okay maybe not the HARDEST, but it’s pretty tough) to restrain myself from saying, “in bed!!” after every fortune I hear.
Lissa chocolate danish?? mmmmmmm… I’m a danish wimp- I don’t like cheese or cherry or lemon or anything interesting on my danishes. Only apple or, I imagine, chocolate. I’ve never tried a chocolate one.
rose-forking dead presidents? :o well I never!!!
Drae-
really? I think the resemblance is uncanny.
swampy I didn’t want to tell you this before becuase I didn’t want you to treat me any differntly, but I have a rare and deadly disease called… nah, I’m just playin’.
I don’t know why I fainted. It depends on who you’re asking. Apparently I’m on drugs- news to me. It doesn’t really matter. I’m fine as frogs’ hair- just peeved about missing school, rehearsal, dance class, and work. I need the knowledge/grades, practice, workout/practice, and money, damnit!
