You know, considering all the crazy possibilities, things have gone remarkably smoothly so far.
I hope nobody jinxes this. We’ve come too far to have any setbacks now.
So far, so good, but we’re getting to a critical point here.
Did I just hear a goat?
SO what’s the status? Are we on track?
Ok, fine! It’s a crazy idea, and I have serious reservations about if it’ll work or not, but I’ll play along for now. So, lesse…
Goat? Check.
4,300 packets of assorted condiments stolen from various fast food joints? Check.
200 helium balloons of varying shapes and sizes? Check.
I think that’s about everything…now, as long as everyone remembers what they have to do, and nobody does anything incredibly stupid, then maybe this’ll work…

You know, Shreveport Dude*, Grandpa Lager*, and their ilk have come in for some well-deserved abuse for shutting down such fun threads as “Predict the Previous Poster” and “SDMB Attention Whore Tryouts”, but I would agree with their decision to close down this thread as a mere post-padders’ paradise if we keep getting “contributions” of this sort:
- actual names of mods changed to foil vanity searches
<Junior Mod chapeau DOFFED>

Lol
Funny, I knew a guy once whose last name was Lipop. Three guesses what his first name was.
The use of those sweets to lure the mice under that weight has reminded me of a guy I was at school with - his name was Phil McCavity - we used to laugh because his name sounded like he had a sweet tooth.
You know, cavities, fillings, sugar etc?
Of course now I’m older, I realise it’s not funny at all. There’s nothing funny about the name Phil McCavity.
Do you find it amusing, legionary, when I say “Bigguth… Dickuth”?
proudly puts Junior Mod chapeau on head
watches it be stolen by Sternvogel Hey! :eek:
Whoa… that’s going to get someone over here with their Junior Mod chapeau at the ready. My money’s on Kythereia - she started it, after all 
Hey, who died and named you Junior Mod? Gimme that!
<snatches hat off head>
Let’s give this to someone who’ll be a bit more unbiased. Ummm…lesse…ah! Kythereia will do nicely! Here ya go…
<tosses Jr. Mod hat Kythereia’s way>
Don’t you think that kind of behavior would be more appropriate in the Pit?
(What language were you cussing in, anyway – Etruscan?)
I’m sure the duck didn’t think so.
I was in the middle of watching the Cubs season opener and my pager went off. Really, this had better be important.
This is going to be the Cubs year!!

You know, I was watching those car ads from the 1950’s and '60’s at that link Tuckerfan posted in a Cafe Society thread, and it got me to thinking about how auto commercials have become less information-oriented and more likely to be silly and/or excuses to rip off anti-materialist rock songs for the sake of commerce. Then I realized that although cigarettes are still around, nobody born after about 1970 or so and who’s lived his/her entire life in the USA has seen a commercial for Winstons (“Winston tastes good like a cigarette should”), Salems (“You can take Salem out of the country, but … you can’t take the country out of Salem”), or Marlboros (“Now everywhere is Marlboro country, everywhere in the USA”). What are some of the other jingles and tag lines you older Dopers remember?
I took the kids to the park to do some good old fashioned duck feeding. My youngest, who isn’t nearly as sweet as she looks, decided to chase the ducks around. I guess they were just happy to be fed, because they put up with it a lot longer than I’d have expected. As coordinated as 3 year olds are, she tripped and fell behind a duck and let out an ear shattering squeal. Have you ever seen a duck jump?
Funniest thing ever.
Bet it didn’t echo.
