The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Garden Gnomen

Um, I’ve been watching Fargo so I’m a little oogied by wood chippers right now.

But I do like crème brûlée, and there’s a Laura Secord’s next door that has crème brûlée ice cream, which is some yummy. (I have to use the accents because I’m posting from work (coffee break - although I don’t drink coffee so it would be a Coke break, I guess) and they pays me (not much!) to be bilingual and do stuff in both English et en Français while I’m working.)

We had a BBQ & pool party a couple of weeks ago for the group I game with every week. Spouses/kids invited and one of the guys BBQs the meat and everyone else brings salads and stuff. I mixed up some green apple soda (good stuff, but bright poison green in colour) with apple cider (non-alcoholic) and got a brownish green concoction that I labelled as “Swampwater”. Needless to say, the kids were grossed out and polished off two jugs toute suite (more French - they’re getting their money’s worth out of me today).

I can come over and help you finish off the salad! It sounds nummy.

Bobbio, I’ve had a spilling-things kind of day, too. Fortunately, I didn’t spill on myself. Much. Mostly on the carpet. I have a Very Large Mug (the semi-official name is Tub O’ Coffee, but I usually keep it filled with ice water).

Bookkeeper, I’ll have to remember the Swampwater thing. It would be perfect for Halloweenie.

It’s so hot here, the farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs. It’s supposed to be cooler this weekend, but of course I’m going out of town, so it will probably be hot there and cool here, and it’ll be hot again when I get back.

So were they boxers or briefs? Don’t tell me you didn’t notice. I know better! :smiley:

You sent me a birthday card? Really? Ya know, I’ve been getting a lot of ecards this week. Everyday there are like a dozen or so! They come one at a time and are there everytime I check my email! :smiley:

And I get accused of asking TMI?

Yeah, I was gonna say you ovbiously need to get yourself a new SuperSoaker ™ or something.
And you need that Cream Brool, eh? kit. Every guy needs a personal blowtorch. Just ask DogDad! He’ll tell you! (He even got one in a tool chest that he got at an auction once and he had to of course try it out right away. And he didn’t even singe his eyebrows or nothin.)

A friend of mine once lived next door to a boy I lusted after mightily. I wanted him so badly I couldn’t even be sly about it; I was in heat, and everyone knew it.

So one night I had picked up an acquantance and we were headed back to where I was staying to watch a video or something when I see this boy walking down the road. I pull over, kidnap him and take him back to my house, but we still have our chaperone.

Once inside, I notice that he has a large hole in the crotch of his jeans. Not fist-sized, but larger than a silver dollar. Underneath, he was wearing red- and blue-striped boxers.

I don’t remember any more if we watched a movie or not, but I can still remember that hole.

And no, I never did get a chance to see anymore of those boxers.

The bet was in response to Shibb’s comment in the post above, except that Puggy snuck in and got between us. She does that sometimes.

Wow, it’s awfully chatty in here today… No spills to report, but apparently there was something on the bus seat this morning. I arrived at work with a spot on the back of my pantleg. Not removable, from what I could tell. But it matched my shirt. (Unusual fashion statement?) Rolled my eyes and moved on.

Other than that…I gots nuthin’.

Except…HAPPY DAY BEFORE YOUR BIRTHDAY, SWAMPY!

T’chuh! When am I not running through the MMP all nekkid? Waitaminute! Bumba, you specifically told me all MMPers had to be nekkid whilst posting back when I joined! Are you now telling me this was a false requirement of membership for the MMP? All this time I’ve been chilly and… You knew my desk chair pinches!

I have a gappy blouse too, taters. See usually I avoid the gappy problem by buying a bigger size and then sewing the waist and hips smaller, but this one blouse snuck past me and it’s gappy. I solve this gappy problem by just opening an extra button. That way everybody’s happy.

Rue’s boys are not strange about the torch issue. In fact, they seem wise beyond their years. Sure boys normally would love something like a torch, but you have to remember a very important fact. Their father is Rue. They know better than to let him anywhere near a torch until he gets a little older. I don’t have this problem. I should never ever been given a torch, but my mom lives far from me and so she figured she was safe. Also, I think a torch would work on flan. It would pretty much work on anything, but you might not end up liking how it worked out.

Poor Pepsi guy! I’ve been there, done that and it’s not fun. You get dizzy and nauseus and shaky and then you probably barf and even when you figure you’re not gonna die, you still feel like a deflated beach ball. I hope you didn’t give the Pepsi guy really cold water. We made that mistake once with a bicyclist. See, he’d ridden all the way from Boston that summer and the day he nearly got himself deaded it was at least 110 and he’d ridden about ninety windy miles with less than a gallon of water! He stopped at our place and we gave him lots of cold water since he hadn’t mentioned just how far he’d traveled that day. When we did, we were all ‘uh oh! this ain’t gonna be pretty’ and it wasn’t. Mom called the paramedics because if he wasn’t that sick yet, he was gonna be, cold water or not, that boy had heat stroke, he just didn’t know it yet. It took a good long time for the ambulance to get there and he had a chance to ‘exchange’ the cold water for some room temp water and re-think his plan to bike over the hills to San Diego. The paramedics took him away and we drove his bike into town for him and he caught a bus to San Diego. Which was good, but darn, he’d almost made it all the way from Boston only on his bike and when he was almost finished, kerplooey!

Of course it’s 1115 degrees swampy, It’s Georgia after all. I heard you guys buy all the extra heat from other states so’s to balance out the humidity. Won’t have tourists flocking to the swamps if they’re not properly hot and humid.

Taxi, you need to get your kitty it’s own bathroom, like I did. Now when they’re smellamous, which is always, I can just turn on the fan and close the door. Which reminds me; if I suddenly disappear, you guys tell the police that my cat Violet should be their number one suspect. I did a very bad thing today. I accidently vaccuumed up Violet’s most favorite toy in the whole world! RIP little piece of ribbon, maybe when I empty the bag I can go all coroner like on it and find the ribbon. This is actual proof that housework is bad for you. Stay safe, live like a pig instead.

So I have a giant jar of marinated artichokes and some fake crab chunks, do you think they’d be good together? Here’s hoping marinated artichokes freeze well, because I’ll never get through that whole jar. What was I thinking? Oh that’s right, I wasn’t.

So Bobbio, when you did the water splooshing thing, was it like in Flashdance when the stripper doused herself with water up on the stage? Tell everybody it was an hommage to 80’s films and then do a little dance. Nobody’ll suspect it wasn’t deliberate after that.

lightingtool, if the MMP hadn’t been threadspotted already, your poop-gap post coulda done it all on it’s own. Hee! Poop-gap! Thanks ** taxi! **

Just in case-- HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWAMPY!

And winnie, you need to work on those fake spoilers. I mean Yorrick? Everybody knows he’s the dead guy from a completely different story, which isn’t even a book, it’s a play. Oh, Bruce Willis’s character is actually dead! Ha!

Gardentraveler? AM NOT EITHER!

Are too!!! :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

I’m running away for the weekend, but I had to pop in to say

Happy Birthday, Swampy!!!

No internet access this weekend. :frowning: But at least I don’t have to go to any funerals.

Heh, and I’m here on the RIGHT DAY with happy birthday wishes for swampy.

VunderBob: Nope. Not in 4 years have I seen a streaker. I did have some old guy try to show me some porn once, (with females), and I responded by saying that showing pornography to a minor was illegal, and that he needed to leave. Which he did.

swampy: Briefs, I think. They were kinda snug.

I so got put in my place by a 12 year old girl. I told you that I’m a math tutor, right? I teach people calculus. Well, someone hands me $1.90 for something that’s 94 cents. (don’t ask why.) And I sit there like :confused: and give them 94 cents back, instead of 96. The little girl is quick to correct me, saying that she’s “an expert at math”, and I retort by saying that I teach people how to do calculus for a living (and stick my tounge out at her in my mind).

Hey, it’s friday where swampy is, you’re right!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWAMPBEAR!
I hear you’re a summer baby. I’ll bet you like the heat, hunh?

You shoulda done it for real! It messes with their little minds when grown ups do that kinda stuff.

That’s it gardentraveler! I’m getting my voo doo doll and writing ‘gardentraveler’ on it’s forehead and then-- Well, you’ll just have to wait and see, won’t you? Heh heh heh…

[sup]AM NOT![/sup]

So, everyone signed the Official Happy Birthday Swampbear thread, right?

But we can’t say it too many times, right? So:**
Happy Birthday!!!**

And Ashes

I’m telling Mom!
And swampy, since you get to have a birthday today…can me an’ Ashes borrow your “most juvenile” title today? Can we? Can we? Can we? Huh? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze?

I hereby convey (temporarily, I want it back on Monday) the coveted title of “Most Juvenile” to Ashes[sup]2[/sup] and gardentraveler. Use your new found (but temporary) powers wisely. The <snerk> is a force not to be taken lightly.

Oh, and thanks for the bday wishes all.

donkey I knew you’d know what kind of drawers he was wearing! :smiley:

Swampy, I don’t think it’s been said yet, so

Happy Birthday!

Crap, I’m late!

Happy Birthday, Swampy!!!

And guess what I did yesterday? I had my first-ever anxiety attack! That was very odd, and I have no wish to do it again. Someone talk to the powers that be and tell 'em to leave me alone, I got enough to do. sigh

Luckily for me, I don’t care what other people think. Donkey, Donkey, Donkey. He don’t like it, well it don’t bother me none. Unless our own Donkey, says it gets right up his nose. Then I’ll stop. I’m not sure what I’d start calling Donkey, but it’d be something different.
Happy birthday Swampy!

Happy birthday Punch! (She knows who she is. If she even sees this.)

Happy birthday Bear_Nenno! (I had to split those bears up. Don’t want them to fight.)
