We're gonna have a happy topic if it kills us.

Enough of these shenanigans, we need to have a little smiling spread through this board.

Not that I have anything good to type. Dang, should have thought this through before typing.

So, just picture good things like puppies, mountain climbing, a fast internet connection, the re-release of the movie “Hoosiers”, cash windfalls, and getting to work in the same office as your wife.

Or, picture things that actually apply to your life. I may get irritated if too many of you think about working in the same office as my wife. Particularly Wally, Unclebeer, or Coldfire.


We went right out there and refused to do accoustical versions of the electrical songs that we had refused to record in the first place.

The song that has kept me sane of late:
Night Swimming. (deserves a quiet night,)

My siamese cat-child, Tiki.

The fact that tomarrow, I’m taking a mental health day. (Or a planned sick day, depending on your POV.)

[gush] I have never felt so welcome among such a wonderful group of cyberbound intellectuals as I have here. Between the new SDMB Pyroto Clan, and my shinning new Wally sig, between my e-mail scrabble game where the Prince of Darkness destroyed me over 500 to less than 200 and my little tif with UncleBeer that broyught us, at leats I think closer together, You guys have made me feel really welcome, and I love you all!!

Thank you all so much for everything, and keep up the good stuff.

“I may get irritated if too many of you think about working in the same office as my wife. Particularly Wally, Unclebeer, or Coldfire.”

—Jeez, you mean I have to protect your wife from all THREE of them? I think I may need some back-up. Especially with Uncle lobbing beer cans at my noggin.

My boss told me I could leave at noon tomorrow and the afternoon would just be a freebie…I don’t have to use up vacation time or anything!

Tonight’s pizza night! Yay!

I lost one pound! (don’t laugh at me…it’s a start)

Awww, Eve. I couldn’t throw beer cans at you, my dear. At least, not full ones anyway. And the empties won’t hurt much.

My kids’ babysitter got really annoyed at me for getting home about three hours later than I expected last night.

If all goes well, after tonight she’ll probably quit.

Left side of Mully’s brain during the creation of this thread - “I wonder how long it will take Eve to reply to this once I mention my wife.”

Right side of Mully’s brain - “Not long. And it will be referencing the protection of our wife.”

Left side - “Yup. Ever post a reply you wish you could erase from the record.”

Right side - “I know what you mean. By the way left side, you are looking good today.”

Left side - “Thanks, back atcha big guy. Hungry?”

Right side - “Yeah, let’s go down to the cafeteria and grab a sandwich.”

Left side - “No, I could really go for a veggie pizza.”

Right side - “Oh not this again! I can’t take you anywhere.”
Well, you get the idea.

I’m sure this is grossly unfair to Mullinator’s Wife, who is probably an intelligent and savvy professional lady who may even be brunette, but after all this time I’ve developed a mental image of her as a bubbleheaded cartoon blonde with a pneumatic figure, surrounded by salacious, rapacious gnomelike males, and her clothes are always getting ripped off. Sorta like the old Wallace Wood comic strip SALLY FORTH, or Harvey Kurtzman’s LITTLE ANNIE FANNY. Hence her constant need of protection from Eve and Mullinator.

You wanted “happy images” ? Always glad to oblige!

{“Gnomelike males” line is NOT a comment on Unc, Wally, and Coldfire, who are suave and urbane and attractive and witty and who do not drool publicly}


Uke

How’s this, Mully?

Somehow, in the jest of all this, I think I’d rather have the puppies. A whole yard full of sweet, cuddly, puppies.

I’ve learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.

Mully, I think this is an awesome idea! Here’s my contribution to this happy thread.

My husband is coming home on 18 May for 2 weeks!!
My good friend pipefitter is coming to SA for some AF Reserve training,and I’ll get to spend some time with him while he’s here.
My dearest friend is getting ready to get the car he’s drooled over for some time!
I have made so many new friends here, and been treated so very well by all, that this has become my second home, and it has also given me laughs, insights, new way of looking at things, and so many other blessings, I can’t list them all.

Thank you, each and every one of you, for being here, and bringing some friendship and good times to what is right now a very lonely existence. :smiley:

That’s my name, not a description. I am neither purple nor a bear. Okay, so I’m purple.<a true Wally original!>

Yeah Uke. My wife makes more money than I do, is smarter than I am, and is pretty darn good looking to boot.

Of course, I now feel inferior.

Hey Mully, is it true that in the re-release of “Hoosiers” they’ve added a scene where Gene Hackman pulls a Bobby Knight and chokes his players?

OK, sorry, that wasn’t nice. Let’s see …

The most exciting time of year for many of us sports fans has just begun … the Stanley Cup playoffs. (That’s hockey, for those of you who don’t know.)

Some of us northern folk look forward to this for months. Woo-woo!

I don’t like sweet cuddly puppies. People can abuse them or steal them. Can I have your puppies after they grow up into fearless 100-pound masses of muscle and teeth? a whole yard full of Rottweilers. :slight_smile:

Where are the moderators? This thread has got to go.

Thank God I’m not diabetic.

::gag::

Happy Topic…yeah right…that would kill us!!!

Right here, go ahead…I’m ready…

If “knowledge is power,” why does stupidity reign?

Mullinator, do you have any idea how HARD I tried to fit a reference to protecting your wife into my little ‘You’re The Top’ parody? Alas, even my nimble mind couldn’t make it fit the meter . . .

—Eve (who delights in poking the lion with a stick)

Same here. Let’s go out fer a brewski, eye some bubbleheaded blondes, and commiserate. And the wives can pay the bar tab!

Yeah, I was kind of disappointed that didn’t make the cut.

Although, it’s not like it exacly lends itself to a short and snappy song lyric.
