I think you’re all quite mad. It just occured to me to wonder if any Toronto Dopers lurk in the MMP threads. I’m not sure I want to meet anyone who knows _quite_ as much about me as you guys do. I mean, if we had an MPP Dopefest, that would be okay, but meeting a bunch of MMP lurkers? Argh. Time for more tea. ---

> [@Bumbazine](#): > > Also, I must confess to being mystified by the reference to **Puggy** ’s breast(s). When I clicked on the referenced link I got a picture of what appeared to be a chocolate cake covered with chocolate icing. Now if it had been a breast covered with chocolate icing, well, I would have to say (one of) my prayers had been answered, but as it is… 😕 Well, see, **bumba** I was teasin’ **ashes** about her first attempt at a link…like the link went to a porno site instead. _Buuuuuuuut_ if you really want [chocolate covered brestases](http://www.sexydesserts.com/ladies.html)😃 ---

Uh oh, somebody get a net; **swampy** has Petty Power Poisoning. He needs humble pie, stat! So **bumba** , are you making that mountain out of Molehill brand foam? Actually, I would love to use some of that stuff, but my home despot doesn’t carry it. Or the guy I ask about it, once I track him down, doesn’t know chalk from cheese. But if I ever get my hands on some, I’m gonna make stuff. Until then I seethe with envy over your small mountain o’ foam. Plus, I recommend rubber cement type glue or silicone, or caulking. Stretchy sticky, not crunchy sticky. Right? Do I get a prize now? ---

I got chewed out by the Garbage Police at work this evening. Because our recycling bin has been stolen and we put out our recyclables in a cardboard box. Apparently, Blue Boxes (colloquial term for recycling containers in Toronto. Can you guess the colour?) have magic power. Y’see, if we put out a _regular_ cardboard box, after it’s empty, someone passing by might throw trash in it. And then obviously we’ll dump the trash on the streets. And then the streets will be dirty! But if we put out a Blue Box, _no one_ would _dream_ of throwing trash in it! Because they have mystic powers and can mysteriously kill people who try to misuse them! Or something! It was dumb. And I checked on the way home, and practically all the other businesses on the street use cardboard, too. Argh. ---

Awww… **Kalley** said I was “specific”. It must mean she loves me! Which is only fair since I love her right back. Not just the right side of her back, but I love her reciprocally all over. But it’s a Secret Love, so I don’t talk about it. I have a LOT of Secret Loves, but don’t ask, because, like I said, they are _secret_. It’s too late now, but: Go **Bob**! Get a paper to prove how smart you are! You deserve it. ---

This is going to be a long day. I’m takin’ some vacation days next week sos I can have the whole week off. That’s about the only perk I get here in this sweat shop, er, I mean, great company I work for. Loads o vacation days. So havin’ the whole holiday week off will be good. I’ll be doin’ some putterin’ and some bakin’ and some shoppin’ and all so it’ll go by fast. So, anyways, I’ve got short-termer 'tude real bad besides the other kind **ashes** says I got.

> [@Bumbazine](#): > > Unless you want to hear about how annoyed I am that I can’t find that glue for glueing pink foam, 'cause the Elmer’s just ain’t cutting it. Don’t use Elmers for foam constuction unless you have several days you want to waste, and have the contents of a small library to use for weights. Hot glue works best, and it’s almost instantaneous… Hey y’all, I’m checking in from my MiL’s computer in Indiannoplace. I got lucky yesterday (get your mind out of the gutter, **Swampy** and **Ashes[sup]2[/sup]**), because when I got to IUPUI, I found out my project professor isn’t going to require a demonstration of my project. Seems he couldn’t find all the pieces for me to put it back together :eek:. To close that class out, I have to give my presentation later today. For the other class, the one I’m trying to test out of, the final I took yesterday was a piece of cake. Because it’s a class on Technical Communications, the professors will also be in today’s presentation to grade the presentation itself. Then I’m done, and I can stick those sadistic bastards at my old employer with a retroactive tuition bill. 🆒 I got $2k in education benefits when they laid me off, and damn right I’m gonna collect. It’s also cool that I get to see the VunderKind while this is going on. ---

**vunderbob** invents the term _beer and cockies_ and then has the nerve to accuse **Ashes[sup]2[/sup]** and me of having our minds in the gutter? 😛 A little known fact (probably) about IUPUI: IUPUI has the only School of Philantropy in the US. Heck, for all I know, the world. That’s right folks, at IUPUI you can get a degree in badgering people to give you money! A degree in panhandling! A degree in how to schmooze for big bucks! How do I know this, you ask? I get mail from the IUPUI School of Philantropy at work at least once a week. Apparently they want me as a student. I don’t want to go to a school that’s pronounced eye-eew-pee-eew-ee though. 😃 I am not working on _The Evil_[sup]TM[/sup] today. I don’t feel like it. ---

Well, I had to go to Home Despot yesterday afternoon to get new faucet guts for a leaky faucet and I asked the guys there about pink foam board and they allowed as how Home Despot carries it in all their stores, they thought. So you probably were just asking the wrong feller **Ashes[sup]2[/sup]**. Also they told me to use Liquid Nails [sup]TM[/sup] for Sheeting, or Sheet Goods, or sumthin like that, to glue it, but I’ll try the hot glue gun like **Bob** said first. BTW, the mountain’s still pink **Swampy**'cause I’m not sure I’m through carving on it yet. **Kallessa** , have some chocolate.

It’s amazing how you can look up my skirt while I’m wearing pants. Quite a talent. I’d have worn nicer underwear if I’d known beforehand. Mr. Lissar phoned and woke me up from my healing nap to make sure I was napping. He’s so thoughtful. What is this ‘real job’ you speak of. **Bumba**? One where I can’t read Discworld books at work?
