> [@swampbear](#): > > **FCM** is my witness to the fact that I am acceptable to be seen with in public. Yeah, I can attest to **swampy** ’s couth and suaveness. He cleans up pretty good for a Jawja boy and he even kept his teeth in thru the whole dinner! No untoward scratching, no belching, just polite conversation. Plus he picked up the tab - how can I _not_ love him for that?!? 😉 Yes, I highly recommend an evening with **swampy** - even going Dutch! He’s good people. ---

**swampy** , escorting and announcing the family members isn’t just a Mid-Western thing. I’ve seen it done at two weddings down here, and they were all locals getting married. **scout** , mebbee a picture or two would help convince **Lissla** ’s spare husband to make the trip. Can’t hurt. ---

**Lissla** , I would like to make a bid on Dishwashing husband, he sounds absolutely perfect for my needs and desires. Like **scout** , I am generous in the boobage department, can make all types of gingersnaps and always have beer and/or ale on hand. Plus a sports car (convertble) for him to drive. I have no problem with good-natured disdain for America, as long as I can tease about mooses. Three hours to spring break! ---

I’d like some! (Garlic cheese bread that is. I’m afraid that if anyone offered me a helping of boobies it’d stop my heart.) **Swampy** , I think I missed sumpin’. When are you gonna be in Seattle again? Not that I have much hope of gettin up there, but I’d like to know, just in case, and assuming **Taters** is willing to share your company. **Ashes[sup]2[/sup]**, it’s a good thing you don’t have any problem with good natured disdain for America, ‘cause I gots some of that too, an’ I live here.

**Bumba,** of course I’d be willing to share…I’m just a sharing kinda gal. It was a couple, few MMPs ago that \*\*Swampy \*\* mentioned he was coming to Seattle. I was razzing you and **Kalley** about not wanting to come and share in a little micro-dopefest. I guess I’m just forgettable…sigh. I do believe he’s supposed to come around mid-May. I guess we’ll find out once **Swampy** makes his travel arrangements. **FCM** says that \*\*Swampy \*\* is couth AND suave. We get a two-fer! 😉 Well, I’ve finished my salad, so I guess I better get back to work.d ---

Psst **Bumba** , I’ve got a bit o’disdain, loving variety, tucked in a cubby hole, myself. And it’s just a little Miata, my roadster, but it goes vrooooom! If \*\*swampy \*\* goes to Seattle, he has to wave hello to my cousin. If you’re really nice, she might give you a massage (she’s a therapist) (the legit kind) (really!). One hour to spring break! ---

I descend upon the unsuspecting denizens of Seattle May 16th - 20th. Which means I’ll be coming in on the 15th and leaving on the 21st. I’ll finalize the plans next week sometime. Or maybe tomorrow. I just gotta get hold of the travel folks who make all the arrangement type stuff. I’ll be a busy bear during the week but would be able to sneak away for dinner a night or two and will definitely be free Friday night the 20th. **Puggy** dare we ask why you seem to know so much about coleslaw wrasslin’? \ **Taters** said a breast! \ ---

I think I’ve mentioned that I work at a pharmaceutical company. What I don’t think I’ve mentioned is that I work in Research and Development, Oncology section. So, one of my managers this morning asks me to go down to the medical library and look up some information for him. I spent my morning pouring over cancer textbooks. These textbooks have pictures in them. :eek: :eek: :eek: I am never sunbathing again. ---

I work in pharma, too. In the cafeteria (YES THE CAFETERIA OF ALL PLACES) they have some journals scattered around. Since we treat certain types of skin cancers, the photos in those journals would make your eyes bleed. My mom is a nurse, and her nursing mags used to freak the shit out of me when I was a kid. So yeah, :eek: ---

_crawls in_ I need a massage! Stat! I’ve been moving most of the contents of my work all week and my everything hurts. I worked 10 hours today and I’m still not done. I have to go to a neice’s wedding on Saturday and I don’t think I’ll be able to walk by then. _passes out_ ---

**Wile E** , I believe the massages are being given in the Seattle area. Not too far for you to crawl, right? Wow…this thread really got out of control since I last peeked in. How… how… ummm… what’s the word? Usual. **Lissla** , I would also like a slice of bread and a spare husband. Perhaps we could arrange an educational crosscountry trek for him. I have no personal impressive boobage, but an attraction I could offer here in Ohio is: [Toronto](http://www.torontoinfocus.com/). Just so he wouldn’t feel homesick or anything. Perhaps he’d be interested in joining the fireworks committee. Also there would be the amusement of tearing up my carpet, refinishing the floor and also painting. AND, most importantly, I could pay you in goods from Trader Joe’s. Another howdy to **Dangergene** from a relative newbie. I read some of your posts while I was still a lurker and was… intrigued…awed…(words seem to be failing me this evening). Oh…and the fire ant extravaganza is really something, **swampy**. I was particularly impressed by the beauty pageant. I mean, who doesn’t want to grow up and tell people that she was Little Miss Fire Ant back home in Turner County…? GT ---

I will try to pack up Lazy Husband tomorrow. I am totally open to being paid in Trader Joe’s cookies. Attacks Things Husband just gave me a fantastic backrub. He and Mr. Lissar are killing each other behind me right now. I have made Attacks Husband also Secondary Backrubber. I’m keeping him. All of my husbands beside Lazy Husband also open doors and carry packages. I have wonderfully well-trained men. 😃 ---

> [@Lissla Lissar](#): > > I will try to pack up Lazy Husband tomorrow. I am totally open to being paid in Trader Joe’s cookies. I could easily arrange this, as I am within 20 minutes of 2 different Trader Joe’s. (For which I am eternally grateful.) > [@](#): > > Attacks Things Husband just gave me a fantastic backrub. He and Mr. Lissar are killing each other behind me right now. I have made Attacks Husband also Secondary Backrubber. I’m keeping him. All of my husbands beside Lazy Husband also open doors and carry packages. I have wonderfully well-trained men. 😃 Now I’m picturing you with a constant entourage, never opening doors or carrying packages, and gracefully trailed by Lazy Husband, who looks somewhat distracted. I am highly envious. Perhaps you could open the **Lissla Lissar School of Husband Training[SUP]TM[/SUP]**? I would swiftly enroll Younger Brother, Local Best Friend’s Husband, Cousin of Local Best Friend’s Fiance (with optional Brothers and Dad), oh…and Emergency Back-up Brother (now with convenient College-Age Son). I’m not sure that Local Best Friend’s Husband needs too much training; he was easily persuaded to climb my roof last year despite his fear of heights. Fortunately it’s not a very high roof. And, in case you got lost back there: Cousin belongs to Local Best Friend. Cousin’s Fiance has convenient Brother and Dad accessories. GT ---

**swampy** , the honest answer (I swear I’m not making it up) is that a friend’s husband always goes and comes back with a report. Sides, I’m just not into biker chicks covered with mayo and cabbage. **bob** , course we’re interested in your progress. It’s a big step to take and you can count on us to be your cheering section. Looks like I’m gonna do Easter dinner for the BarbeeDoll[sup]TM[/sup] family since I have the new dining room and The Princess[sup]TM[/sup] has already ordered up the menu. Anybody else got plans?

I’m not really big into Easter (what with not being that much into the god stuff) but my mom and her husband are born again, so obviously they celebrate. They are coming down for Easter dinner. Not necessarily to celebrate the holiday, but it was just a convenient excuse for them to meet BSMF. I’ve been dating him since August and we haven’t been able to connect them yet, so it’s about time. ---

I have no idea what is happening at the Factfortess[sup]TM[/sup] Sunday. Probably nothing. The GF had to work everyday this week, (and will work Saturday during the day and Sunday night) and got swamped last night at the Drinking Hole (she was only supposed to be there for a couple of hours to help with an impromptu office party of about 100 people) but didn’t get out of there until 11. Being the good boyfriend that I am, I stayed there with her and made sure the Yuenglings were cold and tasty. I know she was pretty tired this morning, and I imagine she’ll be quite out of steam by the time Sunday morning rolls around. Our guy Paulie here at Technical Thingies brought his bass boat to work. Seems he’s in a tournament this weekend too, but in upstate Virginia, not Jawja. Is this some kind of bass fishing tournament holiday weekend? ---

She, needless to say, will _never, ever, ever_ live that down. 😃 Reckon she ever figured out where that Miss Sweet Potato Head “doll” somebody left on her front porch came from? It was cute. A sweet potato with Mrs. Potato Head parts stuck in it. Can’t imagine who would have done such a thing! :rolleyes: There are now 152 boats signed up for the big Bass Tournament. That’s 304 fishertype persons. More will sign up on site beginning this aftenoon. Tomorrow I get to hang out all day (well from bout 11:30 til around 4ish) watching people fish and stuff. I’m just so _thrilled_ at the prospect of it all.
