Just a drive-by to say hi…too much work…can’t keep up with you chatty Cathys…
tarra, I really liked Ordinary People. Very Irvingesque. Speaking of books read recently, I never read A Tale of Two Cities until about a month ago. I liked it much better than David Copperfield which was the one I had to read in HS.
li-li, just be glad you’re only a little bit preggers in the middle of summer. You’d really hate it if you had to lug around a giant hot water bottle in July and August. 
Um, was nobody taken by the Darth Vadar hot sauce cover? I thought that was tres chic and humorous.
Appropriate responses to all. Don’t want to leave anybody out.
bear, when to you start at the brewery?
Tupug
Actually I’m a little more the Miss Muffet type ‘cept I’m the one doin’ the scaring, not the spider. 
Oh and butt bows belong on bridesmaids dresses only.
My sinuses are achy today. Nuttin’ pollinatin’ to my knowledge but it could be stormy later on, so maybe that’s why. Think I’ll Benadryl[sup]TM[/sup] up and nap for a bit.
“Luke, I am your Tabasco.”
“Nooooooooooooo!”
No delivery confirmation or insurance needed for me. Packages get dropped off at the apartment office so they’re safe.
I got yarn from **mika **yesterday! Yay! Thanks meeks!
I haven’t caught up yet so I’ll finish reading and post more later.
Pugs, I absolutely want a Vader, but I’m trying to decide whether it should go on the tomato sauce, the low-fat mayo or the BBQ…
They’re different brands so the sizing of the bottle is somewhat different, see.
Morning all! It’s hot humid, and I work today.
LiLi, you can use this for guilt trips on tinyninjachef. “You made me hornk like dogbutler’s cat for twelve weeks, can’t you at least pick up your room?” 
Haze, I hope you get this pay thing worked out soon.
HiRebohowareyoudoingdrivethoughagainsoon.
BBBobbio, you got hugged for being such a great rescue guy. Besides, it’s better to get a Fairy Chat hug than to be on The List.
Nava, thanks for sharing that image. In the future, please post these after my shift, so I can hit the beerverages and brain bleach quickly. 
Og, doggio, isn’t that indecent exposure or something?
[big brag]
I’ve had real-life Fairy Chat hug. I’m so lucky to be me.
[/big brag]
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I dunno, I think oso pantanoso* would look positively fetching as Goldilocks. Or Little Miss Muffett. With the blond curls and fluffy pantaloons.
Can someone please give me a few more hours in the day today? I need to get more work done than I have time to do it, and without cloning myself I’m not sure how I’m going to do it. So, naturally, what do I want to do instead of working? Go back to bed and pull the covers over my head. :smack:
Nice to know your rescue squad is in the Maytag Man business, BBBobbio. Seriously, though, you does good work. We appreciates you. We have an all-volunteer fire and rescue squad in this area, too, with a fire house just a couple blocks away, and I think of you every time I hear their sirens.
Mork, you Canadians are so law-abiding that they have to given you a special card if you want to SIN? <snerk>
Okay, back to doing something constructive. Or something.
*I get the “oso” part, what does “pantanoso” refer to?
Whoa, what happened to Monday? Yesterday afternoon was busy, and by the time I got home, I had to go to bed. At 7 pm.
Anyway, late yesterday I get a call about a job. It sounded interesting, a newly created position, one where I could basically create my own job. Except that it’s in the East Bay, and only pays, well, what I’m making at my current assignment. No thanks. I’m not going to drive for an hour one way to make the same amount I can make 2 miles from home.
Then I went to Michael’s to pick up yarn for the farting poodle. Sadly, the white yarn they had was grimy, so no white. I bought pink and black instead. A punk rock poodle! Or possibly a skunk or Darth Vadar, if I can find some non-grimy white yarn somewhere. Then I needed rhinestones and googly eyes. That was fun.
Oh, and I had forgotten to get gas this weekend, and barely made it to the gas station, as my car was choking on fumes. That was embarrassing! :o I’ve never before gotten so low on gas that the idiot light came on. I didn’t even know my car *had * an idiot light.
What!? When did this happen? Canada is supposed to be perpetually covered in snow! Meli and I have been talking about a 3 or 4 day weekend in Toronto, and I was hoping to be escaping this awful summer. Well, Canada, you had better come up with that cold weather soon if you don’t want anything bad to happen. You catch my drift? I wouldn’t want to see any of those tuques or universal health care plans have an… accident.
I’ll differ. They’d give ACBG something to hold on to… :eek:
The direct translation is ‘marshy’. I don’t like oso pantanoso , because cerveza is too tough to work in.
Unless he’s drinking it, of course.
“Pantano” is both a swamp and an artificial lake; “pantanoso” is the corresponding adjective. The normal translation of swampbear would be “oso del pantano” but then we miss the alliteration - that would not be right!
Now I got the notion of an artificial beer lake… do you guys think cholesterol deprivation may lead to misfiring braincells? Paging QtM!
:eek: My eyes!!
Thanks for the sympathy, guys. Moneywise I think I’ll be okay for the time being - my parents are still helping me out, and in July I’ll have a tutoring job which won’t be as anal about payment, I think.
My stupid ESL student (the only one in my Tues Thurs class) keeps calling me and asking me if I can move Tues class to Weds. I hate doing that because I have morning classes on Weds as well, which gives me an awkward amount of time between morning and evening. On the other hand, I don’t have any particular reason not to, and the guy works odd hours, so I’ve decided to be nice and comply.
Puggy I’m still waitin’ on the call from Miller. I guess they gotta get the results of my drug test back first. I figured it’d be a couple weeks when they called me to set up the drug test and physical cause I always figure everything takes a couple of weeks.
BBBobbio I don’t need no stinkin’ butt bow… there’s more than enough to hold onto back there.
Since some of you seem to have a burning desire to see me with blonde hair, here 'tis!
Hot. Hot and sticky. Humid and miserable. Sorry. It gets frigging cold in winter, and bloody hot in summer. Toronto’s still fun to visit, but I can’t promise it will be anything like nice weather.
We may be moving into another apartment in our building. Mr. Lissar went and saw it last night. It’s bigger than ours. I’ve still got to see it, but if there’s room for a washer, then we’ll take it. Moving within the building will be much less work than moving outside.
I am not looking at that pic.
I think the pom-poms are the icing on the cake.
Hee, I’m playing in this round of Mafia. Yay!
