Yes, I like this thread as well. It’s gotten me some new friends and adventures I’d never have dreamed possible before. 🙂

Do’h!! I knew it looked funny when I typed it!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! _screams as **JBERGES** and **John** peel out__runs wildly don’t the street after them to make them stop_

Cool! Now we have a Nothingman to go with our Nothing Post! Can I get a Nothingwoman with that order? Then I could lease this place to them and not have to clean up after you people!!

_ **JCoM** and **JBERGES** walk back in_ Uh, **ozonebaby** ; you know that creek down the road just past the stop sign? Your Jag is _in there_ . It looks kinda’ cool, really. Maybe you should call a wrecker or somethin’ though. I mean there are _fish_ swimming through the windows. Nothing’s damaged too much. No really, a few weeks in the shop and it’ll be as good as new. I think.

Clean this place up? Oh wow! This party’s not even over yet, and look at the mess. That baby oil is gonna’ be hard to get off the ceiling and walls. ( **RaCha’ar** is more athletic than I thought she was.) Somebody did some weird stuff to the mirrors, and what few windows the bottle rockets didn’t break were shattered by **Flamsterette\_X** ‘s sound system. I think your best bet is going to be to just burn the joint down and re-build. Sort of go out in a blaze of glory, if ya’ know what I mean. 😉

::Walks in right behind **John** ::

Yeah, technically there’s not a scratch on it. I don’t recall you saying anything about fish… But if you’re mad, **ozonebaby** , I suggest you blame **John**. How was I to know that the creek was there? And besides, he was supposed to be the adult, wasn’t he?

::Sees that his wheedling is getting him nowhere::

Ok…ok…

**Ozonebaby** , you get one punch to the face, but that’s all!!

::braces for impact::

Well, I’m not advocating any violence, but if **ozonebaby** isn’t going to come in here and do it, I will! I don’t want to do this, but I have to…

_slaps **JBERGES** so hard, his ears ring_

I hope you know that wasn’t meant personally, okay? I would never do this to anyone in real life. (no matter how badly they provoke me) Hope you forgive me! 🙂

**John** , are you saying that my sound system is loud dnough to shatter glass? I didn’t realize it was **that** loud! Oh well, it is a party, after all. Let the fun, games, revelry. etc. continue! 😃

Well, it’s either blame your sound system or my singing. I’ve got some ideas about which shattered the windows, but let’s just call it the sound system. 😃

I’ve gotta’ make a little run to the store. Be back about Sunday night. Y’all keep this party rollin’ 'till then, OK?

I’ll just go buy another one with my millions of dollars while you and John get it out of the creek and fix it up yourselves until it looks like new!!! _turns away and walks the car lot, still seething_

You know, **ozonebaby** , that would be excellent punishment for them. Make them fix it up themselves, instead of having them buy you a new one. _That_ would be too simple, really.

Re: Osiris’ post - held up a mirror to my screen… [thinks] “Hey, cool font.”

I ruined an omlette today, turned it into cheese and mushroom scrambled egg. Ugh.

I don’t think enough attention has been given to alice\_in\_wonderland’s post. I enjoy a good part salut myself. I used to get it because my kids called it ‘stinky cheese’ and wouldn’t touch it. It was the one thing I could count on finding in the refrigerator.

::Stumbles back inside::

Well, I’ve been underwater for two months, but I think I fixed the car. I _knew_ I should have brought a second air tank with me. I don’t know what happened to **John** though. He gave up a few weeks in.

**ozonebaby** , I believe we are even now.

Hey, did I hear Monty Python playing?

::checks TV::

I guess not.

Try my brother’s idea of a great food combo on for size. Tomato rice, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and BBQ sauce, anyone?
