I only have two sets of sheets for the guest bed. I figure that’s a good thing cause what if somebody pukes or has an accident or somethin’ while staying in my guest room. They’ll need clean sheets. I also have two sets of sheets that fit the futon in my study for the same reason. I’m all hospitable like that. I don’t have any flannel sheets. I don’t like em and besides my house has central heat. Ok, and it does not get all that cold here often. Also, if need be, I can use ACBG as an extra blanket. Thus we have this week’s first TMI.
I think Joel Murray will work.
Nah. We need someone that’s funny.
Aw, come on. The part in Once Crazy Summer with the fat guy and the lawn chair? Comedy gold.
You mean <snerk> like him? <snerk>

I have two sets of sheets now, but I think we will be buying a flannel set for the upcoming winter soon. Saturday, I had to get the little lady’s van inspected. I inspected it myownself but the state of PA won’t take my word for it. They (PepBoi’s) passed it but they said that the front break pads were a little worn. I was like, yeah I know that. That’s why I bought brake pads, DUH! So after paying either Manny, Moe or Jack to inspect my van I went home and changed the oil and then changed the brake pads. I was pretty dirty and I had gotten the van pretty dirty too so I washed the van for her too. Now the van is all pretty and safe. Technically though, it’s my car this week because I’m driving the van until my new car gets delivered. I’m so excited I almost tinkled. Not about driving the van, about my new car. Speaking of new cars, I fixed the bump at the end of my driveway after all the van stuff. You see, before we bought this house they (PennDOT) widened the road and said they would soon be paving it. So we have this nice cement curb at the end of our nice cement driveway and then a 4" Cliff of Undercarriage Doom (aka The Bump) before you hit pavement. We didn’t notice it when the house was being built because of my SUV, but now in the van and Mrs.Maxx’s new car and I’m assuming my new car it is like “thump, thump, SCREEECH, thump, SCRATCH, thump.” So I bought 6 bags of blacktop repair stuff and shoveled and tamped and graded a wedge to span the distance between our driveway and the should-have-been-paved-by-now road.
It’s Monday. Nothing interesting happening here. Gas is still around 2.99 (going down very, very slowly).
I have three sets of nice sheets, plus a few mismatched but comfy sheets. I’m spoiled–I like pure cotton, with a very high thread count. My big dream in life is to have ridiculously expensive sheets. I don’t want a nice car or a big house, I just want gorgeous sheets. After all, I spend a lot of time in bed. Sleeping, I mean. What did you think I meant? Geez, you people have dirty minds!
I’ve never been on the wrong side of the Japanese Mafia, so I still have all of my fingers. Which is good, because it’s hard to play the piano with substandard amounts of fingers.
beckwall, does your titanium hip toast bread? For that much money, it should at least double as a toaster. Or a remote for your garage door opener.
swampy, beer brats and German potato salad sounds yummy! What’s for dessert?
Taters, your sauerkraut sounds faboo–I’ll try that sometime.
I was having lunch with some friends at Quizno’s, and they have Miss Vickie’s potato chips. So my friend Dave got two bags of chips, and he told me that they used to have them at the cafeteria at work, but they stopped carrying them because they didn’t sell them fast enough, and they had to throw half of them out because they were expired. I came up with what I thought was a really brilliant solution–if he bought twice as many, that would take care of that problem. He wasn’t impressed. I still think it’s a very good idea.
Joel Murray looks similar, at least. Not exactly like him (Stephen King or Dave Barry would be a better physical match, but I can see it). Now we just have to get one of them to change their speaking voices (Rue DeDay or Joel Murray). Joel Murray does speak much like a Cincinnatian.
A dollar says that he would have said ACBG.
I’m not especially happy that you ate a Quarter Pounder, swampy, because I don’t hold any interest in McD’s well-being, as long as they don’t go bankrupt. What you need to do is go spend some trillions of dollars at Wal-Mart, since i’ve got 10.xx shares of stock with them.
Or you could give me some trillions of dollars. And I’d give you a double Quarter Pounder.
This whole time we’ve been discussing Miss Vickie’s chips?! If I’da known that, then I would have mentioned how they sell them at the Quizno’s on campus here! And I walk by them almost every day! And don’t buy them, but I know they’re there.
What’s a good German dessert? I suppose banana puddin’ wouldn’t be the correct answer.
Quizno’s has me permanently creeped out between those freeze dried rats and that talkin’ baby. :eek:
Black Forest Cake, or Butter Cream Torte, or plum auflauf, or gosh I don’t know. I tell you what though, they do desserts up real nice in Germany. I love going to the German delicatessen and getting real german torte. Yes, I can make one on my own, but they are a lot of work, and it’s been a long time since I’ve made one anyway.
Oh, yeah. Duh. Sometimes I miss the really obvious things.
Butter cream torte sounds divine. I’d make one if I had a recipe. Auflauf sounds like an insurance company.
What’s for dessert?
Auflauf.
Insurance for dessert?
No, Auflauf.
Duck for dessert?
AUFFFFFLAUFFFFFFF!!!
Oh please! Quit doin’ the duck imitations and tell me what’s for dessert!
Lessee, what can I add to this party?
I filled up this morning - $2.499 at the convenience store right outside B-gate.
I have 4 sets of sheets for our bed, one set for the red guest room (and 2 more if I bring them home from the boat) and some mismatched twin sheets for the yellow guest room.
I sold my gazebo today, and maybe our old table saw, and I bought a color printer from a coworker for $40 - still new and in the box!
Um, what else? I think that’s all.
Try not to envy my jet-setting lifestyle.
And swampy, I don’t know if I’d vote really really gay or just somewhat obsessive about having enough of, well, everything… 
FCM has lots of sheets and y’all think she’s normal (well, sorta). So There! So it is ok if I have two big freezers and two big refrigerators. It’s all normal. Just normal. Nothing weird here at all. Nope. Move along. Nuttin’ to see. Just plain, ordinary normal.
Oh man sheets and bedding are my new obsession i just bought a new micro suede comfortor $89 vs $220 full price
I have 8 pairs of sheets on regular rotation :eek:
But then again you are talking to the girl that at last count had 48 pairs of shoes/boots in regular rotation
I also have to have two packs of TP in the closet at all times or I feel weird (see swampy is perfectly normal)
Sounds like a challenging course, scout. Don’t know how you do those distances, especially with the added charm of hills.
Rue, one does not get to select who will play oneself in the movie. It is much more amusing if others select for one.
I avoided buying gas this weekend, but noticed that prices have been going down. Gotta (not goetta/getta) buy some on my way out to my friend’s tonight… Speaking of goetta, I thought it was Scrapple von Goetta’s wedding that inspired the Oktoberfest, but no, the Oktobefest website’s FAQ says it was someone else’s. Is anyone surprised that you get the English-language version of the website first if you Google “Oktoberfest”? (By the way, the Oktoberfest dates in Munich moved into September because of the weather.)
One of my favorite German foods is Kaesespaetzle. The classic version is just Spaetzle with melted Swiss cheese, but I have friends who make it with Sauerkraut mixed in and that’s very good… Guess I’ll have to make some soon.
I will not admit that, if I counted sheets correctly I have the following number of sets:
1 - white jacquard
1 - off-white jacquard
1 - soft lilac jacquard
2 - light green
2 - striped soft lilac (almost pink)
2 - light pink with white flowers (old Marimekko pattern)
1 - mostly green geometric pattern
1 - black background with pastel paisley design
Also, there are two pairs of sage green flannel sheets, but these are used as futon covers in the living room, so they don’t actually count. Right? Does it help that I have (technically) three beds that these sheets can rotate among? Or that these sheets have been acquired slowly over the past 20 years or so?
melli,Here’s a sample dangergene post.
Lissla, there was a parrot you could cut out and staple to your shoulder conveniently provided this morning by our daily paper. If I’d known you needed it, I would have sent it to you. (Really, they did a whole article on TLAPD!). The paper’s web site is a pay-to-subscribe, otherwise I’d link to it…
Gotta go…
