My Favorite Martian - Guest MMP

Jello shots!!! With real alkyhol in them? Day-um! I want to work in a place like that.

Oh, I gave everyone a very firm deadline of TODAY. By THIS MORNING… right. Unless I can track them down, sit them down and make them work on it while I’m watching, they get distracted. I think this whole organization has adult ADD.

Thanks! We will. :smiley:

WHAT?!?
:eek:

                                                    Huh?  *Huh?*     :eek: 

But, but, but…
<wails> I don’t know the drill? When does one post? What does MMP stand for? If I have to get up at o-dark-hundred to start the ball rolling for East coasters, not to mention UK’ers…GAH!

<whimpers> help…please?
Now I need a topic. Thank Og that my topic comes ready made–Halloween! There aren’t any threads about THAT yet…

:wink:

Aww. I guess I’ll take it the week after then.

I haven’t made my patented Malibu Bay Breeze jello shots in a while–cranberry, pineapple, and orange jello with Malibu rum. The first and only time I made them, I made about 150–of which I personally ate 462. :smiley:

That’ll teach ya to go to the bathroom in the middle of a meeting! :smiley: It stands for Monday Morning Post. That’s all it is. A Monday Morning Post. You have some Mundane and Pointless Stuff You Must Share. You give it a title, followed by the words Guest MMP. Then everybody comes along and hijacks it. That’s all. It’s really not that hard. We’ll yak on and on about just anything. All the OPer does is get it rolling. You can do it Elanor. We know you can!

Ok, donkeybear has the following week’s MMP OP then. You have to get up early to post it young man. No lyin’ in bed til eleven AM! It must be up by 8 AM Eastern Time.

<revels in newly found power. Maniacal gleam in eye>
Now is the time to say> it’s Eleanor , baby! not Elanor.

Jeesh. Think they’d know the name of their fearless leader and all… :rolleyes:
:cool:
:wink:

I didn’t mean to step on toes, chaoticbear --if you want to do it this coming Monday, I’ll step aside.

Nah, that’s OK. Just remember this time, guys, that I have the following week.

One word of advice about being fearless leader of this bunch. Don’t look behind you. When you see the faces of the bunch you are fearless leader of, it tends to make you fearful. Especially when somebody has probably farted or made an armpit noise and the rest of us are <snerking>. Remember the height of sophistication for MMPers is pee, poop and puke stories. :smiley:

…and headlights, you forgot headlights. Of course, one can throw in the odd nasty zit or exploding bug too.

Sorry, bonkeyboy, you know what short atte…ooo, look! Shiney!! :smiley:

Yeppers, they even were considered using Everclear until that got voted down. But the truth is, this is really [hidden message]an asylum[/hidden message]

Mmmmm, Everclear shots.

I vote for Eleanor too (but only if elanor can’t do it.)

And I managed to poke my head back in here for a truly <snerk>worthy fortune:

Never underestimate the power of the
human touch.

<snerk> IN BED! <snerk>

Morning everybody! Maybe I can manage to actually post this today without some kid emergency interruptin’ :stuck_out_tongue:

:eek: That’s 5 AM my time - no way I’ll be starting it any time soon. Tho I have seen it not posted 'til a bit later…

We recently lost both our rats and our dog and thought one of the cats had met some ugly fate but he finally showed up after about three months wandering time. When Little Miss[sup]TM[/sup] found the new kitten, it was beyond my ability to say “no”

Both kids have decided to wear their costumes from last year - even though they’re a wee bit small now

I just love how my almost four year old son can entertain himself - complete with monologue, of course!

On preview,

:smiley: Tee hee! Another new name for donkeybear

Sean, you should frame that one!

Hey Idaho Red! Glad to see ya. You know, it is possible to compose a post beforehand in say Word then cut and paste it into a new thread. Voila! Instant MMP. Then you could get up at 5 AM, quickly make your post and go back to bed. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me! Or maybe not.

Anyways, we got our next two lined up which is pretty good for us.

Argh. Two more hours and I’m outta here. It seems nigh-interminable, to me.

Mmmmmmm, black cherry and vodka jello shots are reaaaaalllllllyyyy good. Now I gots a little Dove ice cream bar to eat and the party doesn’t eve start til 3:00. Oh, yeah, and cherry kisses are tasty, too.

NOT.

Thanks to the nearby refineries, there’s no oxygen at 5 AM here.

BUT! Come tomorrow, there will be new toilets. A card in the water bill invited me to apply for free low-flow toilets. I met the requirements, and tomorrow, I go pick the things up. I’m very happy about this as one toilet leaks and about evey hour refills itself, one works poorly and has a cracked seat, and the other apparently sucks so much water that the previous owner put a huge brick in the tank. Geez, what kind of hellhole did I buy?

I’ve just been occupied with everything else, and Faire took a huge hunk of time for two months, to do much other than use them and think “Gee, I really ought to fix this.” What really impresses me about this program is that they’re handing out complete toilets - everything from the wax ring that goes into the floor to the seat. They say I should expect an annual savings of around $75 for my efforts. They’ve also invited me to pick up other freebies like a garden hose sprayer nozzle that will replace the one that my dog thought was a chew toy and sink aerators that will replace the one that spits because the screen is gunked up.

So you’re gettin’ three toilets, a garden hose sprayer and new sink spray thingys. That’s quite a plumbin’ haul there gotpasswords! I got low flow toilets and such cause that’s what ya got with a new house. I do need a new shower head and I could use a new sink spray thingy. I also want to replace the tub/shower combo in the guest bathroom with a walk in shower cause nobody ever uses the tub anyways, so why not.

Speaking of house stuff, I have decided to replace the dining room, living room and kitchen floors with Pergo flooring. I think it’ll be nice. I further plan on doing it myself. I did it in the study and hallway and the house didn’t fall down, so I’m pretty sure I can do this too.
