Hey, cool, **gt** I would be very proud to have birthed an MMP secret code. šŸ†’ I am very bored. Not even all you gay guys posting titilating tidbits or **lissla** posting almost nekkit pics is helping. I need a vacation. Oh, good! I get to take the whole week off for Thanksgiving! Whoot! Stir fry was totally nummy last night. Too bad itā€™s such a pain in the arse to prepare with all the chopping and dicing and slicing, etc. (It ainā€™t stir fry iffen it comes outta a freezer bag. Iā€™m just sayinā€¦) This post is temporarily on hold while I go see what my boss wants. Tupug ---

**Lissla** , I really wish I had your friendā€™s stomach. (Instead of my own, just to be clear. I donā€™t need TWO of them. I have enough problems keeping my own at the proper size.) Thereā€™s rain in the forecast today. Weā€™ll see if it materializes - there are often promises of rain that justā€¦disappear. Iā€™m a bit tired this morning. Not inspired to work, either. (though is that really noteworthy?) ---

I got to experience being stiffed on tips for the first (, second, third and fourth) times. My gross intake, though, was enough to make minimum wage after adding in the 2.20 an hour. ---

It is a prestigious award, not awarded lightly, so we need a little more detail. I echo this. Heartily. Especially because I canā€™t begin to know the goings on at a bear run like you older folks, because Iā€™ve just assumed that the minimum age is 21.

I had some TMI gross outflow last night - my hand bumped against the side of my leg, and ā€œHmmmā€¦ whatā€™s that big bump? I dunno, letā€™s squeeze it!ā€ This thing firmly crossed the line from zit into cyst as a lump of gunk large enough to deserve a Social Security number squirts out. Blech! Unrelated to that, I got the generator repaired and maintained - changed the oil, spark plug and air filter, and repaired the choke mechanism and a crankcase breather hose that broke because the manufacturer violated the Primary Law of Positioning, which says two objects can not occupy the same space without one of them being damaged. In this case, the fuel line was stronger (thank goodness!) than the flimsy breather hose - otherwise, thereā€™d be a gas leak. I canā€™t re-route the hose, but I was at least able to replace it with a bit of fuel line hose from the auto parts shop, so it will at least be a meeting of equals and the two should be OK together. I hope. Aimed the garden hose at it, and the whole machine was bright red again. It had been camougflaged in Ren Faire Dust. Really not sure why I bothered washing it as it will only be brown again next September. ---

Doing the cut-and-paste to Word thing again ā€˜cause thereā€™s just so much material for me to be a wiseass about. **Kallessa** first: Some Musings When I Should Be Sleeping Can I throw away dirty underwear or do I have to wash it first? _Send it to the Mr. Kim c/o The Oregon State Correctional Facility_ Do Kali Catā€™s toys go where socks go? _On your feet?_ Come to think of it, Kali will play with socks, so could both socks and cat toys be escaping from cats? _Intelligent socks, what a concept._ Which leads me to suspect that Ambrose Bierce and Judge Crater may have also been fugitives from cats. _I got nothing_ Which means the Catbert may well be in control of the world. _Iā€™ve long held that belief myself._ Except that if Catbert, or any other cat was in control of the world, tuna would not have mercury in it. _The idea that tuna contains mercury is a lie perpetrated by cats so that we would share our tuna fish with them._ Would Hermes argent be another name for quicksilver? _Is that one of the dancers at Darcelleā€™s?_ Which really is quickest, zipper or five-button jeans? _Zippers are quicker, but buttons are quieter_ Who decided tweezing was a good idea and why? _It is!?!?_ Havenā€™t you always wanted to open the door of a front loading washer right in the middle of the wash cycle? _Go ahead. Iā€™ll be over here, on top of the dryer_ Whoā€™s spookierā€“Dick Clark or Bob Barker? _Dick Cheney_ There are fingerless gloves, so where are the toeless socks? _There are, in my sock drawer._ If there were toeless socks, would they disappear, too? _Only half of them._ Why canā€™t we lick our own elbowsā€“I mean, what harm could really come out of it? _Our heads would fall off._ **Norm!** are you sure your roomie doesnā€™t have another life you know nothing about? > [@SwampBear](#): > > His name is Snogiewogie.

That could be part of their problem, server rooms arenā€™t supposed to be sweltering, theyā€™re supposed to be air conditioned. The cube farms are supposed to be sweltering. I see that one of the google ads at the bottom is for gourmet cheesecake, did I tell you that someone who looks like a young Sandra Bullock gave me a cheesecake Friday night? It was a green chili cheesecake with mango salsa topping. It was very good. I guess thatā€™s all. ---

So anyway, they worked it out. Yes, the cheesecake was yummy. ---

[QUOTE=gotpasswords] \ This thing firmly crossed the line from zit into cyst as a lump of gunk large enough to deserve a Social Security number squirts out. Blech! \ [QUOTE] I think **gotpasswords** should use this as his sig line. And **zit to cyst** is my nomination for band name of the week. **swampy** , The pair of underwear in question has had many, many washings and has only a weak grasp of elastic left. Everytime I wear them I think to myself ā€œSelf, throw these awayā€ but they (it?ā€“a pair of underwear implies the proper indefinite pronoun would be they, but it is only one thingā€”my grammer nerve is fraying) always end up in the hamper and are so washed (not in a front loading machine), dried and bundled into the dresser with all my other underwear to be grabbed early in the morning when I am not capable of discerning its sadly saggy state. By the time my mind is conscience of the nebulous link between my underwear, my waist and my checks I am already someplace where I would prefer to continue to wear some sort of underwear. Plus, if I took it (them?) off then it/they would still be, more or less (less actually) dirty, so the question remains: can I throw away dirty underwear or do I have to wash it first? **Bumba** , 'scuse me but Cheney ainā€™t spooky, heā€™s full out scary. People, people, people, I know Iā€™ve been gone a while, but now that Iā€™m back letā€™s remember that this is not a thread exclusively devoted to gay match-making. The brawny guys are mine and we must all be looking for one to match with me. Letā€™s review: **swampy** = burly (although he seems happily ensconced in reality, the MMP is beyond reality), **Kallessa** = brawny. **swampy** would be in love with me if I was a guy and Iā€™d be in love with him if he was straight (not to be confused with us loving each other just as we are) so if thereā€™s a brawny straight guy who [b[swampy\*\* would love, heā€™s mine.
