Okaaayyy.

I'm not even going to go down the road of asking what sports you'd need six nipples for. This is getting just a titchy bit weird.

Urrrmm, topic change, topic change, think quickly man...[/size]

So Moonbear! How about green olives stuffed with garlic and breadcrumbs?

:smile: I was thinking like cars come with standard equipment or a sports package, which is all the accessories. I really hadn't given it thought beyond that.

I've never tried those. I've been tempted a few times to buy a jar, but then if I don't like them, I've got a whole jar of olives stuffed with garlic just sitting around in my fridge for eternity. Though, I suppose if I stick them in a martini and drink the rest of the martini first, then the olive will taste fine no matter what's stuffed in it. :bugeye:
 
  • #405
Now I want some olives. I love the garlic stuffed ones.
 
  • #406
Oh my... So this is what happens when I get off line is it? :wink:

Evo, "too early to drink" is all in your head. All you have to do is realize that you are a responsable adult and not an alcoholic. Having a beer or cocktail midafternoon to relax is just fine. As long as you don't have any responsabilities to take care of that it may hinder ofcourse.

It's weird, if I drink at night, I'm fine, if I drink earlier in the day, I feel sick. :frown:

Also, I can't drink red wine, it turns my nose bright red and gives me a headache...only hard liquor for this girl. :-p
 
  • #408
Good things to know if I ever get out to have a drink with the Sisterhood. It's too bad red wine effects you badly. It's so very good.

Why is this thread dying? And why is SOS not here to help keep it going?



. . . _ _ _ . . . !
Though it's good to know I was missed, it appears the thread did not die. I've been replacing hardware--my wireless equipment, and now my modem. And I'm back like a bad dream. :devil: But...alas, I'm trying to get ready to leave for the weekend. I'll try to make some obnoxious remarks when I get back home (Marshmallows? Big feet? Flying kittens?). Oh, and Moonbear has a different avatar, and TheStatutoryApe is GOLD! :biggrin:

Gold for all of 10 minutes now lol. I was about to messege you too, to figure out where you went.
Hope you have a good weekend!

Glad you're back boss.

Yeah - Moonbear's avatar has to do with defending jellitivity.

I just noticed TSA in gold - way to go! Haven't seen him in the Crushed Velvet Lounge yet.

And SOS - your avatar is looking different.


So I've been meaning to ask - Is this establishment under one of the enterprises in the PF Sisterhood syndicate? :biggrin:

For some reason, I keep thinking she's Cronxeh with that avatar; similar shade of blue or something.

Yes, though we're negotiating a merger with the Genco Company (they've really diversified since the old olive oil days).

Lol.. Thank you!
I think I'll have to look for this crushed velvet lounge that Astronuc mentioned.
I have an Avatar now too. The same one I use most places but I think it goes well with the name.
I actually received that monkey as a gift because of this screen name.
 
  • #415
TheStatutoryApe-You're GOLD! :approve: Alrighty then!

Welcome to the fold. :smile:

Drinks for TSA for tomorrow are on me (since Moonbear already gave you free drinks tonight). Just watch out for those flaming umbrellas. :frown:

I had a rather interesting milk shake at a place called Rudy's Can't Fail in the bay area. It was a chocolate and espresso shake with Guinness extra stout in it. It was very tasty. Guinness and chocolate go rather well together.

I would have never considered it, but since you've given it your endorsement, if I'm ever in the bay area, I'll have to take a look for that place and try one.

I'm not sure if you have a taste for guinness but it's not a very strong taste in the milkshake.
I also found a recipe for brownies made with Guinness once that I still want to try.
Mmmm... Guinness.. :-p

Yes, I have a taste for Guinness. Actually, I want more than a taste. The whole pint would be more like it (darn, brewnog must be serving again if all we're getting are these thimblefuls at a time). :approve:

If you find that recipe, PM it to me.

I'd look for it now but I have to get going in just a minute or two.
I found it on the Godiva website.

Hmmmm... I think the pirates would probably fair much better selling that sort of thing, considering that they have those ships transporting, who knows what, from foreign countries and a lack of care for laws and all. :devil:

You know, I can't find anywhere near by around here to buy Godiva chocolate. Not even the Vons Pavilions has it. :confused:
I'm sure if I really looked hard enough I could possibly find it somewhere.


And Brewnog, I'm not sure what sorts of exotic ingredients Moonie here may be wantin' but after that plank walkin incident I'm none to sure she wants to be abuyin through the likes of you. :devil: :-p

One of the malls here has a Godiva store. :biggrin: It's a good thing the stuff is expensive or I'd never be able to restrain myself in there. When I go to that mall, I stop at the coffee shop for coffee, then head up to the Godiva store for two pieces of chocolate (two means I can eat one while walking out of the store and get far enough away by the time I eat the second to stop me from running back in for more :biggrin:). Though, they also opened a Cheesecake Factory there, so now it's REALLY hard deciding whether to get chocolate or cheesecake. Why couldn't they spread the good stuff out among a few different malls?

And Brewnog, I'm not sure what sorts of exotic ingredients Moonie here may be wantin' but after that plank walkin incident I'm none to sure she wants to be abuyin through the likes of you. :devil: :-p

Darn right! If I have any need for smuggling, it's Danger's Pirate Squadron I'll be contacting. :approve:

How I spent the 4th of July.

Gardening - expanded, weeded, and mulched the upper garden. Tomatoes and hot peppers (jalapeños and cayenne are just now coming in, and kung pao is still not flowering - recent addition :biggrin: ).

Finished the wife's herb garden - mixed in a couple of hundred pounds of organic material - top soil, manure and peat moss.

Dropped a 35 ft (10.5 m) tree, which was dead. Drop it just about where I wanted - top within three feet. I took too much off one side and the three twisted on the way down since the mass of branches was lopsided, and it had two trunks starting about halfway up. I hacked (with my pick) at the main trunk (halfway through the trunk) about 7 ft (2.5 m) from the ground so as not to drop the whole thing, otherwise the top would go where I was planning to put the shed. I then cut through to 2/3s of the trunk with a pruning. The tree was leaning slightly in the opposite direction that I wanted to drop it, so I used a 12 ft ladder on the side I was cutting to brace it. Then I used the ladder to push the tree over.

Way back when I was in university, as an alternative to being a scientist/engineer, I considered going to Alaska to be a lumberjack/fisherman or somewhere in the Pamirs/Himalayas to be a hermit/monk. Needless to say, I became an engineer. :rolleyes:

Finally moved the shed. :biggrin: I put it on a tarp (plastic/fiber tarpaulin) and dragged (by myself) the shed about 50 feet (15 m) from the side of property to a place slightly up hill (3-4 ft, 1-1.3 m elevation) in the back yard.

As Maxwell Smart would say - I loved every minute of it. :biggrin:

My Fourth..

I sat here at work and played on PF.
Did something stupid.
Decided to do something else that was stupid.
Wound up doing a third stupid thing.
Regret it today.
Fortunately none of it was THAT stupid.

Oh well, life goes on.

Yes, that one's okay. :biggrin:

I went to my friends' house for an afternoon BBQ and swimming. They live out in the middle of nowhere with 5 acres of wooded property, so it's nice and quiet out there...well, except for the three children. But they were okay too. Then came home and watched the neighborhood fireworks displays (people around here are crazy with the stuff they were setting off in backyards around so many houses!) Once I was sure none of them were being set off by anyone close enough that the fallout would hit my house, I got online while sitting on the deck watching (though some got pretty loud at the end). It was a nice relaxing day for a change. :smile:
 
  • #444
Hmmm... I was a bit edgy that night at work. It's not a very nice neighborhood and people all around were setting off firecrackers. I kept worrying about people shooting off guns and where the bullets might land.

If you don't mind my asking, what sort of work do you do that you were stuck working on the 4th, and at night no less?

College campus security, swing shift. The campus was pretty much closed but we have dorms and the dorm students are still here. Also plenty of expensive equipment in the computer labs. So we're here 24/7, 365 days a year.
