[QUOTE=eleanorigby] Hey! I want some homemade fudge AND a thirty something MALE Brit. I’ve been sick, so give it to me, dammit. [/QUOTE] Sure, you’ve been sick, but did you have anyone slice open your abdomen and yank out an organ? ---

I am in a hotel with the s l o w e s t internet service ever. And I am hungry. “Hello room service, send me Page Three” That is all. ---

[QUOTE=SnakesCatLady] Haze - I’m in the Cult game, too. Hope you’re on my side! [/quote] Hey, anyone who’s willing to help me find a bar in that town is on my side. 😉 Good luck prepping for your show! **rigs** , have you ever read the Outlander series? ---

Oooh, the Outlander series is bad but fun. They’re comfort reading for me. Work was dull, it’s very hot, **Alastair** and **meli** coming to Toronto would be fun. I think it’s time for bed. I had a horrible dream last night that I had to go back to work at a previous place of employment, and wear a gas mask with plastic things that jabbed into my mouth. Better dreams tonight, I hope. ---

Sweet dream, **Li-Li**! And isn’t the Outlander series so much fun? Trashy, but pretty good for what it is. For some reason my skin is not happy with me today, so I’m being all girly and sitting here with a mask draped over my face, making me look quite horrific. Hopefully it’ll work. It smells faintly of tomatoes. I hate tomatoes. ---

Home from work, I had to do a shift at the old, slow store. Funny how not tired I am when I have to work at a store with air conditioning. **MamaTigs** , next time just release the hounds, it’ll teach the delivery guy to read instructions. **meeks** , I’m mid thirties, but I am not a Brit. Maybe **BooFae** will sell you 'im indoors cheap. 😉 **Kat** , there’s plenty of organ yanking in this thread. \ ---

Gee, I think a certain congressman had something other than legislation on his mind, when he says: > [@](#): > > Members will have all the necessary time to record any dissenting views, of which there do not _appee to beer_ any. \ Why are you in a hotel, **MBG**? Did you travel somewhere? Did I miss something? It’s vitally important, you know, that we all be completely up to date on every detail, no matter how minute or mundane, of each others’ lives, you know. ---

I just finished up with my second 100-count batch of price tags. Running total is $3088. Not including the $1, $2, or $3 bracelets. There is one set for $30, a couple for $25 and about a dozen for $20, but most are under $20. I’ll take pictures of the better stuff and the booth and all for ya’ll. I’m tahred. ---

[QUOTE=SnakesCatLady] I got to see puppies! [/QUOTE] Squee! And where’s the pics? I’m looking forward to the jewelry pics also. They sound fabulous. > [@MBG](#): > > And I am hungry. “Hello room service, send me Page Three” If you’re hungry, you don’t want page three. Although it did have homemade fudge on it, the pizza and PB M&Ms didn’t come out until page four. . . or was that on page two? **gt** , what book did you read for book club? I wrote this to you at the end of the last MMP, but you might have missed it. . . or you could have been ignoring me. Anyway, I’ll repost it in case you weren’t. > [@Heff](#): > > **gt** , what book are you reading for book club? I’m in a bunch of book clubs at the moment, so I don’t read all of them, but some of the books I’m supposed to be reading are Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris, A Conspiracy of Paper by David Liss, I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron and Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Last month, I enjoyed Angels and Demons by Dan Brown and sort of liked Kite Runner by Khaled Husseini. ---

Yoohoo - **Special1** - I think you need to weigh in on [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=426523). (the only thing I have to say about it - and I don’t think it’s worth saying in that thread - is, the OP mentions the KJV of the Bible - No Jews I know would ever reference that edition. ---

[/QUOTE] Thanks **Rosie**! Went over there and weighed in. It’s not as far-fetched as one might initially think, BTW – both the words “_nephilim_” and “_hapala_” come from the same root – NPL – which revolves around the act of falling (or … well, being pushed, I guess :D) Except one is biblical and the other is Modern. So I doubt there is any true connection. ---
