I made chili for lunch, would you like me to bring some tonight **withaK** **sperfur** , I would just say screw work and call in and use my vacation time for the 10th, but there aren’t enough people to cover. Plus this way, both **withaK** and I can get it off. ---

Yes, bring the chili. I know enough not to say no to your chili. ---

No problem - I would have had to take a vacation day on the 10th, too - as would most of the M-F workers. So this should work out better for everyone. I was just being selfish… 😉 ---

Selfish for good reasons, though, so it doesn’t count as being selfish **sperfur**. ---

Fridays are not much good for me either. I’m the only person working the swing shift so it’s hard to get anyone to cover for me. Me likey chili. When come back, bring chili. ---

NOTED: Bring chili on the 19th. **Horseflesh** and **Marlitharn** and any other dopers who have children who maybe attending, let me know your children’s names so I can make goodie bags for them. Its so much more cost effective to bring goodies with you than to buy them. Plus I put in a variety of snacks, so there is something for everyone to enjoy. I wonder if someone should let **elmwood** and **Baker** and **Gary T** know about this. ---

Oh. I thought that had a kinda familiar ring to it, and yet I was pretty sure it’s something my mother’s never said. ---

[KC Zoo thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=214768) I did a ‘Manhattan is a Twinkie’ sign, too. That’s the one I put in the front yard. Everybody gave me crap 'cuz Manhattan’s no longer a mod (these signs were done over a month ago) and it didn’t _say_ Twinkie - there was a drawing of a Twinkie that looked more like a yellow windshield. So I had to explain it to everyone. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by UncleBeer \* > \*\*_UncleBeer spiked my monkey?_ \*\* Some Dopers will know why I find this hilarious, and not a little disturbing. The back of the sign read “UncleBeer ate my Buick.” **misstee** , the names of my children are: Great Googly Moogly, What Have You Done?; and No, Not Until After Dinner. (That’s what they answer to anyway.) AFAIK they subsist entirely on cookies, gummi things, and butter straight out of the tub. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Erika_ > **Horseflesh I _think_ the game was over, and you were writing the OP of this very thread when Cousin/Aunt Patty called.** Thanks for the easy out there, **Erika**. I knew I wasn’t a sniveling, drunken snob. So nyaah 😛 **misstee**. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by sperfur_ > **Your Master of Sinanju, young man, and don’t you forget it.** So you’re the master of a small coastal town in North Korea, huh? Funny, you don’t look oriental. ---

I didn’t say I was _the_ Master of Sinanju (you think I want Chiun pissed at me?). I said I was _your_ Master of Sinanju. ---

And here I was, trying to encourage **Mirror Image egamI rorriM** to turn 18 before the Columbia Dopefest so she could get a ride. I act like a child. (And lately, I’ve been feeling about **MIIM’s** age, dancing around my living room in my underoos with the stereo cranked up - 😉 ) Can I have a goodie bag, too? 😃 ---
