My dinner was one of those stuffed thingies from Taco Bell. Buffalo chicken, very very spicy. Sah-dog begged and begged for a bite. I told him it was hot and he wouldn’t like it. He wouldn’t quit so I gave him a little piece of chicken. I told him he wouldn’t like it. He didn’t ask for more. ---

Howdy Y’all! Home from Holy Week Agape Supper. ‘Twas wonderful! Great food, great people, great service all around. All the rotissed (is to a word!) chikin got et. The Colonel aint’ got nuttin’ on da bear when it comes to finger lickin’ good. 😃 One of the highlights of the evenin’ for me was the fact that five month old Julian, who is teethin’, found the middle finger on my left hand worthy to be gnawed upon. I loved it! His moms (that’s right moms) were worried he’d bite down too hard but like I told 'em, he can gnaw to his little heart’s content. **{{{gotti and DH}}}** just cause it sounds like y’all need a hug. Now I shall snoop teh intartoobz a bit more then go beddy bye. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > **ShinyCat** - you’ve done all this from your imagination? Is this for your novel? I am, at once, impressed and envious. I might eventually use it as background for _something_, but it’s mostly just for fun. I cheat a lot and use word generators (you set the parameters and then pick out words you like). And once you have a bunch of affixes and words you can just combine them to make new ones (which is the origin of all the ones I shared today). (Think like ‘skyscraper’, ‘babysitter’, etc). I’m getting close to my goal of 500 words, but I’m going to have to put it aside for a month once April starts, so I can write for Camp Nanowrimo. ---

w00t. I did it. Finished up all the marked lexicon entries. Just 75 more entries to do (a lot of which are marked as CHANGE THIS IS TERRIBLE). I got nothing else done. My kitchen is dirty and my clothes that I washed this weekend are in the hamper getting wrinkled. Well, that’s not completely true. When I made dinner tonight I made enough to have for lunch tomorrow. So there’s that. ---

Morning, all. Up, not yet caffeinated (soon) and unfortunately off to deal with a very heavy pre-Easter workload today. Ugh. Couple days off coming soon; can’t wait. Got stuff to do around the house outside. Then again, it’s snowing lightly this AM. ENOUGH. Good luck on your Thursday, y’all… ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > rotissed (is to a word!) chikin Of course it’s a word - I’ve been using it for ages! Don’t you pay attention to my posts? 😛 Among today’s laundry chores is a quest to find the pink bunny suit. Not Playboy - think Energizer… 😃 I made it 20-some years ago for Halloween - \*\*FCD \*\*built a cardboard drum and he wore it to work back when the Energizer Bunny was new and exciting. Anyway, the HOG chapter suggested all members show up at the dealership on Saturday in animal costumes, and \*\*FCD \*\*intends to ride up in the pink bunny suit and his leather jacket. This assumes, of course, that I can find the pink bunny suit and that it hasn’t dry-rotted over the years. Synthetics don’t dry-rot, do they? Idiot dog wants to go out and bark, but she’s gonna be disappointed. I have no idea what she saw out the window - it’s still pitch dark. It was either her reflection in the glass or perhaps tail lights of a car going by. In any event, she’s staying put till it’s light out. \*\*BBBobbio \*\*- you invaded my dreams last night. You invited us over for Easter dinner and I was ticked of that you didn’t remember that my mom is hosting us. Let that be a lesson to you - pay attention to the minutiae that fills my life! 😛 Happy Thursday, day 4 in re-retirement… ---

Blurf. **Mooooom** , it’s just as well that you’re standing me up for Easter dinner. I was planning on smoked rabbit for the main course. 😛 Besides, I had a dream about you, FCDad, and his bike a couple of nights ago that was rather innocuous, and now I don’t remember anything else about it. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! up, caffienated, brekkied and at irk. Bet y’all thought I’d forgotten didn’t ya! I met OYKW for brekkie just cause we wanted to go to Pearly’s. Or is that Pearlie’s. Never can remember. Good place for breakfast though. 'Tis a chilly 34 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 67 for the day. The slow warm up beginneth. This is Maundy Thursday. Google it cause I can’t be bothered. Thus we have Maundy Thursday services tonight at the church house. Thus, dindin tonight shall be eaten out prior to that. Probably not too shabby Chinese buffet cause it’s easy to get in and out quick. Ok, that’s all I got. Soon I have to get on the road cause I have to go over to the west forty for a little while. I intends to be back in the orifice by noonish. Happy Thursday Y’all! ---

It’s not yet 9 and I’m showered and dressed more-or-less presentably. I’ve run the dishwasher, the first load of laundry is on the line and the second is in the washer. When I take the second load out to dry, I’m going to look for the pink bunny suit in the basement. And sometime today, I think I’ll play in clay - I’ve got to mix up some colored slips and I may try a new slab technique. I should probably pull something out of the freezer for supper - maybe fish? I hope they need me back at work soon - this is going to get boring, unless it warms up and I cna work outside… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-the-heck-s-the-new-mmp/653891.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-the-heck-s-the-new-mmp/653891.md?page=11)
