Red-Ringed Tupperware Party with (ineffective) Tin Foil Hats

[Woolburr]

Guess that depends on how small the house is....mooooooooooo

[puddlepirate44]

You think I could use that as an excuse for my lapse?...."uh honey, I was just sparing you...had forgotten to brush my teeth..." and all that? He might believe it but I don't know...

You did? :shock:

Can you remedy that afore I come to bed?

[wu_wei0]

The house is just the right size.

[Woolburr]

I'm guessing that indicates a party with a toothbrush first!

[Woolburr]

moooooo :)

Moooooooooooooo to you too.:D

[Woolburr]

The house is just the right size.

moooooo!

Time to go house hunting.....moooooooooooooooooooo!;) ;) ;)

[Maureen Souza]

The things you guys find to talk about, sheeesh!


Keep it up;)

[Woolburr]

Peter has put the lot of us on ignore...for trying to help him out. Poor guy doesn't know who his friends really are.:confused: :confused: :confused:

[T.D.]

Well, on that note, I'm off to bed! See ya on the morrow. Cheerio!

Got the Breve Extra Hot Latte ready? ;):cool:;)

[Woolburr]

Got the Breve Extra Hot Latte ready? ;):cool:;)

Is that really something you should ask a guy in public? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[misspix]

Moooooooooooooo to you too.:D

Consistency is important :) I shall henceforth announce myself with a mooo...

[Woolburr]

A good moo is good for you. Purges the soul....and assorted other things.

[T.D.]

Is that really something you should ask a guy in public? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Given the other things we've discussed about his "personal" situation, this is really nothing, don't you think?

[Woolburr]

You really want me to comment on this? ;)

Hmmm. Perhaps a 'moo at the moon' would be in order :lol:To awaken that inner wild bovine in us all :)

[wu_wei0]

Time to go house hunting.....moooooooooooooooooooo!;) ;) ;)

I have a couple nice properties in mind. Let me show you around a bit then I'll leave you to explore.

and on that note, I probably should go fluff my pillows and wrinkle my sheets a bit. early class in the a.m. Must be refreshed!

[wu_wei0]

A good moo is good for you. Purges the soul....and assorted other things.
one thing better for you than a moo- is two

[Woolburr]

Two moos is better than one?;)

[wu_wei0]

Two moos is better than one?;)
Depends on the mooo- but one good moo deserves another, don't you think?

[Woolburr]

Yes...much like any other form of mooooningful conversation....one good one does deserve another...mooooooooooooooo

[Maureen Souza]

Less than 2 blocks from my house is the College Ag farm. We hear mooing at all hours night and day. I can fall asleep listening to a few of them going on & on.

Mooing is soothing to the soul even if they are destroying the ozone layer from the other end;);)

Truer words have never been spoken! Are you listening Belmondo?

[Belmondo]

Truer words have never been spoken! Are you listening Belmondo?Great.....the last thing any of us will hear just before the big bang wil be the contented mooing of cows in Fresno.:evil: I swear......if my cat farts, I'm killing her.

[thomascanty]

What if she moos?

Now, what if kitty had the same thought? "If my Tom farts, I'm killing him."

Where would that leave us???

;-)

Waiting for someone to fart in CA? Or perhaps just farting around waiting for CA to pass an anti-farting law.

[Belmondo]

Waiting for someone to fart in CA?Well, don't hold your breath.


On second thought........:shock:

[T.D.]

Waiting for someone to fart in CA?

Good point!

Maureen?

(Hey Belmondo, thanks for taking us from the unsavory topic of mooing cows to this much more dignified discussion of flatulence!) ;-)

[Woolburr]

I'm sure that Dr. Wu will be happy to know that one good moo deserves a fart!

[Belmondo]

(Hey Belmondo, thanks for taking us from the unsavory topic of mooing cows to this much more dignified discussion of flatulence!) ;-)I do what I can.

[Maureen Souza]

Good point!

Maureen?

Okay, okay!!! I am regretting ever mentioning the posterior end of cows:D :D
If you want to talk flatulence, you've come to the right place. Skip's other name is "The Master Blaster".;)

We best be careful...Peter will be hosting a new challenge...post your best flaming gas attack shot.

Going out in a blaze of glory.

[theflyingkiwi]

so ya finished talking about cows? :)

I must admit, I really can't believe how much you lot talk about such a simple animal. All it's good for is eating and drinking the milk.

Anyway there are far to many cows on this planet. their fats are causing too many problems with the planets heath.

[Woolburr]

Cows are probably always going to be a topic here Mark...we have some fans of them! Cows give us more than food and drink...don't forget leather, fertilizer and now a source of energy. And as Maureen pointed out earlier, they provide a soothing source of relaxation sounds. Cows are cool!;)

[ChatKat]

On a trip up to Carmel we drove through Cow Country. As I was complaining to my husband that all he did was take me to see procreating cows, low and behold, they demonstrated the art of cow creating right as as used the expletive deleted. A moment not ever to forget.

[Lightstream]

I'll tell you guys a little story:

Today, Lisa and I went out to the Wildlife Refuge to try and get some shots before the next wave of rain hit the area. Up on a hill, where we were shooting, there was this old oak, and up in its branches was a bunch of missletoe. So I wandered over to the tree, did my best "come-over-here" look so as to get a smooch.

She looked at me, and said, "Oh, cute!" then took my picture.

"No," I said. "Look, missletoe" (hint, hint)

"Oh!" then she snapped a shot of the missletoe.

"No," I said, slightly frustrated. "I'm under the missletoe. That means you come over here and kiss me."

"Oh. OK." Then she made her way over to me.

Just as she got close, she uttered those three little magic words, "LOOK! A BIRD!!" Then she wandered off to shoot the wayward bird, leaving me kissless.

Tell me again why I chose this hobby??

You enjoy the abuse, same as all of us. :p


If I fart, or she farts, the outcome is the same.....she's dead.


We were hoping for a celebrity deathmatch.. Belmondo the Fearsome vs Belmondo's Cat the .. well.. uhh.. cat.

[Woolburr]

Hey Yoda....be sure to go back and check out the post dedicated to you. Permie accused you of being on a journey from Mars.

lets just hope that LS doesn't wear things like that round the home ;)

[Lightstream]

ROTFLMAO....

At times it feels like I'm that far from home, yes :p

And as for wearing stuff at home, the stuff that some on this thread DON'T wear is more scary.. at least I keep hearing references hinting at skyclad and soxless.. I don't want to think about it.. it's scary ;)

Home is where the heart is. I was sure I could never live any place but NY...then one day I packed up and moved to NC for the hell of it...Now NC is home and I couldn't imagine living in NY.

Now why would you think there would be a problem with the lovely ladies from here being skyclad? You might want to think long and hard before answering....unless you want them to hunt you down and mangle, maul and mutilate you!:p

I've been in close to 100 different countries over the years....some nice, some not so nice and some that were downright hostile. Saw some beautiful sights, met some wonderful people but would still rather live in my own country at the end of the day. So that part I understand. Travel can be fun...but it can get old too...the good news is that it sounds as though you are nearing the end of your stay in AU....harmony and balance will be restored eventually.;)

[Lightstream]

Yes, it's getting old for me too. I still have a year or so to go before I can wrap this up and go home for good.

I'll still travel, but not for more than 2-4 weeks at a shot. No more extended stays for me.

I did almost 20 years of living in hotels for 5 to 6 nights a week. That was worse than being on extended assignments....at least with an extended event, you had a place that was sort of home. Being in a different town or city...sometimes in a different state....and even occasionally a different country was pretty crazy. Factor in working mostly nights...it is no wonder that I am a dysfunctional sleeper. I really do understand where you are coming from.:evil:

Wow that is genuinely nasty... you're right, at least here I don't need to go through the learning curve all over again, and I have a semi-permanent or long term place to park my gear and arrange it the way I like. While neither is desirable, it still seems like you did have it pretty bad.

[saravrose]

As Perm said, we're due for a little snow here. And by "a little" I mean anything from 1-3 inches on the valley floor. Any minute we'll be starting Storm Watch 2007 on the Tube with dumba$$ reporters on top of every little burm measuring the snow and pre-empting all regular programming.

It makes me crazy....

boy am I out of the loop... my internet is down at home so very little time spent online these days but I had to comment on this one...

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :lol: :lol: ... I have about six feet in front of my apartments right now... that's six stinking feet everybody!!.. we are talking enough snow to get buried in, enough snow that everybody is wearing their Carhartts and snow boots.. and I am currently going stir crazy.. When you have this much snow you can't go off the road to take pictures, but the road is cleared of the snow which means there's gigantic piles of it pretty much over my head of where it has been pushed out of the way.... I don't think I like snow. at all.

Morning all,

It's snowing...nothing like Sari's snow, it's not even sticking so far...but it's snowing and that's nice....

Now why would you think there would be a problem with the lovely ladies from here being skyclad? You might want to think long and hard before answering....unless you want them to hunt you down and mangle, maul and mutilate you!:p

Take heed, then Yoda, our little green man! :D

Yes definitely take heed how you answer this! ;)

Wool, you're finally back ahead of me in post count here! Balance is restored once again!

[Woolburr]

Hell Permie...once you get over being sick...that little statistic is out the window!

[Permagrin]

LOL! You are probably right (and then again, I may just be very quiet...and you all can thank heaven for small favors :D ) however...we went out yesterday to shoot and then out to dinner and I felt just rotten last night. I keep thinking I'm well but this thing has a hold for sure...

My MIL called this morning and said "ohhh, sorry, I knew I wasn't feeling well when I was there...had a rotten stomach flu...guess I gave it to you...I was sick for 10 days with it.". Dontcha just love MIL's?

[Woolburr]

Sharing is caring!

I've been hanging back a little on my posting. I don't think it's fashionable for a moderator to be so near the top of the list---it brings my impartiality into question. It looks like nzl-g3user might pass me up fairly soon, and if Claire would stop sleeping on the bus, worrying about her love life, and get busy, I could have a couple people ahead of me before long.

[Woolburr]

Ah...but your postings here are most businesslike...keeping our merry little lot in check...so the total is not necessarily representative of anything beyond our questionable behavior...Amazing how much trouble those cows can cause.;)

Hey...the poor cat is probably getting bloated by now...from trying to retain all that surplus methane.

[Belmondo]

I'm trying to figure out a way to hook her up to the gas barbeque. I tried a direct connection, but the threads were wrong.:confused: Now, she's playing hard to get.

I read a kids book years ago that explained they time travel. I would guess they are in ancient Egypt 'bout now. Due to their royal status in ancient Egypt i suspect kitties spend alot of spare time there
I can hear the veterinarian now....."This cat has a severe case of cross-threading."

John, if you can ever catch up on this thread, you will have accomplished something that no one else has ever succeeded in doing...the easiest and safest courses of action are to just jump in with both feet and play along like you know what is really happening...or perhaps even saner...run like mad and avoid the silliness...unless you have a good sense of humor and need an occasional chuckle.

I call upon you to honor his request and point me to the photo so that I may post it for posterity.

Substantial reward available after the real photo is revealed. PM me for details.

hmm perhaps this deserves a separate thread.

hi all.. it looks like I have a connection for a few minutes.... and I almost didn't even bother to check.. I think it's cause I brought out the vaccuum and mop, out of self defense... soo bored without internet access... I broke down and ordered a home phone with my own internet connection... unfortunately it's going to take about two weeks for them to show up...

Hi lil sis! Nice to see you.

ack! why the wait?

[saravrose]

Hi lil sis! Nice to see you.

ack! why the wait?

because there's no guys that go around my town installing stuff.. so, they have to come up from Boise and they only do that every couple of weeks and I missed him by two days.. So, on the 23rd between 12 and 6 he'll come by and get my phone and internet turned on... until then, I'll be borrowing my neighbors which isn't exactly reliable.. wish me luck..

by the way, i'm bored. really bored. and feel like moving. San Diego sounds nice. I called my bestfriend and told her I was having a heck of a time staying still and that I feel like moving on... she suggested therapy... maybe that's a sign that i'm a bit compulsive???..

Oh, Pet-ums, why the angry words. You did suggest I ask my coven sisters and that is all I have done.
You have such persuasive powers.

I don't want to go to Africa with Connie :lol: :lol:

[PetKal]

I don't want to go to Africa with Connie :lol: :lol:

Good decision. The damn trip is likely to turn out into a total disaster.
Like....Connie and Sanity Rose falling in love and gettin married. Woo hoo !:evil: :lol:

[saravrose]

I don't want to go to Africa with Connie :lol: :lol:

I would have loved to have you along.... we could have given Dave a run for his money... as is I have Tommy and Beth as back-up so i'm fairly confident that a good time will be had by all.... besides, Dave is all bluster I'm convinced he's a nice guy.. funny accent maybe... but a nice guy.. ;) ;)

dirty dirty man.:rolleyes: . continental not to mention cross generation romances just aren't successful.. no matter. We're all going to take pictures.. not for romance.. and somehow anti-milaria meds, mosquito nets and being chased by lions just doesn't strike me as romantic... exciting, fun, definately something different but not romantic... ;) ;) ..

dirty dirty man.:rolleyes: . ;) ;) ..

I was talking about falling in love, my dear child. Love does not have to be "dirty".:rolleyes:

[saravrose]

dear child.. yes. that's me.. ;) .. okay, point taken. Besides i'm too young for the whole falling in love thing.. and a little jaded from watching my cousin's during their various divorces and break-ups and ofcourse the sham of a marriage my twin is currently involved in. I have a theory that I can wait out my youth and give the whole 'falling in love' 'commitment' thing a go when I'm older and wiser... :cool: :cool: ..

I wouldn't know whether to laugh, or to cry.

But the good thing is that the whole Africa crew will then have a new subject to shoot.... :mrgreen:

Bring them flashes, Gary Fong spheres, omnibounces and stuff*. :p



(* typically not associated with safaris, but who knows.. a strange turn of events..)

[Lightstream]

Speaking of Stuff(tm), my kit lens is finally back on the 350D and it feels good. Really good. Really light. Exactly the "fat P&S" feel I wanted. :)

All I need now is someone to spot me shooting and go "Shouldn't you use a better lens?" and then get the Gearlist of Doom busted out on them :mrgreen:

Sure I have better glass.. wanna see them Big Whites? Nawww.

I'm back from my shopping expedition, and my first temptation was to ask, "What did I miss?" Looking back over the last couple pages, however, I think I'll pass. I see that Lola's biggest fan has been engaged here, so that's about all I have to know.

No problem Tom, I kept the lid on this thread in your absence, as we normally always do.:cool:

Maybe Lightstream is a well articulated(sic) alter ego of Maria's.:rolleyes: ;)

marriage. yikes.. :evil: :evil: .. the only thing I can commit to is a cellphone and gas card.

I wish I can reciprocate with a similar compliment Webby.
However, your kids are lovely. They must resemble their mother, naturally.

You and I need to talk. I think between alien coworkers of yours and the POTN tupamaros crowd, you may not be getting requisite quality guidance in the matters of love.

I had to change the Santa avatar and have been too busy with work the last few weeks to create a new one. I thought it was time to recycle my favorite Lola shot.

Well, you know, especially with you finally professing your admiration for her in with your new title and all...;)

:lol: :lol: ... guidance. please. don't guide. I'll pay you not to attempt to guide me.. I will have you know that i've made a fair amount of half a$$ attempts to know it's just not for me. Not yet anyway.. don't worry too much. at some point I promise to have a golden retriever big white house with a porch and two kids... Just............ later. When I can't think of anything better to do... ;) ..
