Well, it's just me and my sockpuppet right now. I've learned not to try to feed it or give it drinks, it gets really messy. :frown:

Watch out, sockpuppets can hold there liquor! I once had one of mine drink me under the table...Wow, this is so sad..:rolleyes:

Evo said:
But with enough wine, I guess I could eat some stnky cheese. :biggrin:
AFTER enough wine I could eat some stinky soft cheeses, I guess, but I'd have to have a liter in me with more on hand to wash the cheese down. There is some pretty pungent sharp Vermont cheddar that a local market sells under the name "Old-fashioned rat cheese", and it's great on crackers with pickles, mustards, smoked oysters, and other toppings. The darned stuff is as expensive as a good cut of meat, but it's worth it.

You're killing me, that sounds wonderful!

What? More of these redrums?? This is getting better and better. :bugeye:

humanino said:
So, I'll skipped the end of work day and join for the party :smile:
I will bring stinky french cheese and heavy wine to drink with. :-p
I hope Red Rum makes it before we ate everything !
searching for stinky Roquefort, Comte, Reblochon and Morbier in the attic. Shall I take this Goat's milk one, it is really stinky ? :rolleyes:
Eating cheese during high temperature days is a real delight :rolleyes:

OK, redrum is nothing compared to the stinky cheese issue. :-p

Or to bring it back up. :biggrin:

Do you have an imaginary trebuchet with which we can pelt members? I think the trebuchet adds a little excitement to the tradition of throwing frozen broccoli.

Is there some more *hic* frozen margarita ? *hic* :redface:

Did anybody bring musical instrument ?
I have my grand piano in the truck of my car, hopefully it is still in tune :rolleyes:
We could make up some noise to go with the skunkapult festival :biggrin:

"Noise", that's the word. I can bring my old guitar. You bring a pair of repair jaws, we'll need them to tune it up, since the tuning pegs can barely rotate anymore.

That would be a good start.

Oooh, wonderful idea! This could be the first Annual PF Skunkapult Festival!

Perhaps tribdog will show up with his blow torch to defrost frozen sodas, but we'll need some nice carpeting for him to set them on after they're heated. :biggrin:

I have three guitars. We could make more frozen margaritas, and hand them around. Everybody has to play, even if they do not know how. We'll need the extra margaritas to make that bearable!

I vote for putting them in the Skunkapult.

I have an old autoharp that has the felt worn off the pads so that no matter which bar you press they all make the same noise. :approve:

Moonbear, care to join me and my pitcher of frozen margaritas?

Just a few more hours of working on this grant proposal left (I can't believe that I'm somehow ahead of schedule despite constant interruptions the past week or two...apparently I work better when multitasking :bugeye:) As soon as the final section is proofread and uploaded into this goofy software form thing, I'll take you up on that pitcher of margaritas! :biggrin:

I have lots of crude rhythm instruments, like an old metal screw-top 35mm film can (I have been shooting film for a while...) full of lead shot, and another plastic film can full of BBs for a more mellow sound. When I was hosting open-mike jams at local taverns, such cheap home-made instruments often came in handy.

Hehe, this is getting really interesting. I can bring some old pots. A pair of branches, and ta-da, the rhythm section is almost complete! :-p
 
  • #75
On Bonnie Raitt's first album (recorded in a garage at a camp at a lake, IIR) the rhythm instruments included a shuttlecock in a plastic cup and a stick on a plastic pitcher.

[Scatman Crothers impersonation]Still no-show. I think we've got a "Jack Torrance" moment going here..."All work and no play", etc, etc. It's time for the sisterhood to intervene and save Evo. You might need to apply the Portuguese Man-o-War. Hopefully it will not be necessary to employ the dreaded shrieking eels.[/Scatman Crothers impersonation]

Maragarita, por favor!

I missed seeing Phil Spector by minutes today. He was on our floor and some of the other jurors saw him. I got back from lunch too late and missed him.

Well its very late now, the only thing left is to scarf chocolates, drink rum and talk of things that might of been.

Dear God! what is that stench? Please don't tell me Phil Spector cut the cheese.

Ugh, jury duty! Are you stuck on any trials, or just sitting around bored out of your mind all day for the jury selection process to just keep rejecting you?

*Pours MIH another margarita*

Thanks for the margarita!

Nope - it's all over. I was on a panel today, but then they sent us to lunch, and when I came back they said it had been "resolved" and we wouldn't be needed. It was a really interesting experience because they asked us all for our occupations, and one of the guys on the panel said he was a professional psychic. :smile:

:smile: Did he already know how the day would turn out? :biggrin: It probably does keep him off juries...I'm pretty sure that thinking you already know the outcome wouldn't be very good for a fair trial. :rolleyes:

<sniff> No Red Rum yet.

Unless he comes in a truck filled with fish and with a shirt which says "Punish me", this won't be a fair trial. :-p

We were all wondering if he was telling the truth or just had come up with a good strategy for dodging jury duty. The judge had some fun with him during the interview, asking him at one point, "Didn't you see that coming?" about some event the guy mentioned. :biggrin: But then he really grilled him on whether he could be fair and impartial, given his "gift", and while he agreed to try his best, he seemed to really struggle with that.

Is this a real friend, Evo? Not a "pretend friend", right?:rolleyes:

That reminds me ... I had a neighbor who used to get TV and reality mixed up. Everytime she saw me she would call me Rachel. I never could figure out why she did that until one day she asked me how Ross was doing.

He might be hiding some cheese in that hair-do.

After seeing a picture of him, I definitely agree. Maybe he and Red Rum should come together. :-p

If it's any consolation, I had to google who Phil Spector is.

I haven't really been very enamored of Stephen King's movies, but have never read any of his books to know if I'd like that version better (usually books are way better than movie versions of them). The Godfather is definitely worth watching, especially the original one. The third one was pretty crappy; you could live just fine without ever seeing that one.

You people should be strapped into a cinema and forced to look at all the good movies out there. And yes, I'd pour a truck load of pop-corn on you, too. :devil: :-p

Yay! Free popcorn! Of course, I would be drowning in it.
What year was The Shining anyway?
