The 44th TPBM Random Chat and Leg Lamp Compactor

Things I'd like to do on a long plane flight but I know I never will:

• Halfway through the flight, pull down a big duffle like bag. Tell the person next to you that it's your parachute then ask them where their 'chute is.
  
• Create a rumor that the old lady that's sleeping in 4F is the Air Marshal.
  
• Knock on the cockpit door and yell, "Hey, what's keeping you so long? I gotta GO!".
  
• Build a nine hole mini golf course throughout the cabin.
  
• Keep staring out the window and tell people, in a William Shatner voice, "There's.... somethingonthewing!"
  
• Try to climb into the overhead compartment and ask the stewardess for a pillow and a blanket.
  
• Tell everyone you see that Bob Seeger is up in first class and he's going to film his next music video while in flight.
  
• Start a Karaoke party, but only play instrumental music.
  
• During the inflight movie, keep asking the stewardess for popcorn, Milk Duds and a large Coke.
  
• When it's the most quiet in the cabin, quickly stand up and shout, "Oh, Geez! Who cut one?!"
  
• While looking out the window, tell your rowmate that you would swear the plane passed that wave twenty minutes ago.... You're flying in circles! You're lost!
  
• Calmly stand up, get to the middle of the aisle in the center of the plane and yell, "It's DANCIN' TIME!" and start groovin'.
  
• Tell the lead stewardess that she shouldn't be scared, but Elvis is loitering in the bathroom. Again.
  
• If you're in first class, take a peek back into the coach section then tell your other firsties that the peasant class and the rabble are rioting with pitchforks and torches! Hide the silver!
  
• If you're in coach, take a peek up into the first class section and then tell the rest of the peasant class and rabble of the elitist scum and bourgeois pigs that are trampling the rights of us, the citizens of the world! Viva la Revolucion!
  
• Half way through the flight, put on a WWI pilot's costume, complete with scarf and pilot's hat and start heading to the back, explaining to other passengers that you need to man the tail gun as you're now flying over enemy territory.
  
• Tell the guy two rows back that it's his turn to go to the cockpit and fly for a spell.
  
• Start walking to the back of the plane. Start to laugh and say, "I CANNOT believe how easy it was to take those handcuffs off!"
  

Lol, I am sure Zane will appreciate those Dan.

Th cat just ran into the bedroom and vaulted to get on he bed, sorely misjudging and wonking himself squarely in the noggin on the side of the mattress, he then Turned and gave ME the evil eye like I moved the bed while he jumped!!!

Nevermind, LOL. I decided that joke might have been in poor taste.

Loved the swimming Baby video Cat!

My daughter likes river otters the best (after cats, of course - we have a Birman and an adopted tabby street cat; we recently buried our old faithful Norwegian Forest cat who left us after having a stroke at the ripe old age of 18).


I'm all over the interwebs like a rash - but am 'specially fond of the POTNers

Awww... I feel all warm and fizzy inside... Oh, never mind... that's just the alka-seltzer I swallowed.

But seriously... I can just feel the love!

I thought I saw this being passed around by someone from the TSA entitled "Reasons Puddle is on the no-fly list..."

That's what I want to know... no fair keeping it to yourself Cat!

She was right to take it down, but it was hilarious. Maybe she'll PM it to you if you ask nicely.

Hi Everyone. Hope you are having a good start to your week

I used a weed whacker on the weeds growing up around the heat pump unit outside our church on Thursday. The line got tangled up in something so I pulled till it became free. Apparently the wires I was tangled up with went to the thermostat control. Today at church I noticed all the windows and doors were open in an effort to help cool the place down. Weed whackers have their place, but sometimes they are a bit of an overkill.

OOps.......

So! A few photos from my Capybara encounter:

Lounging and relaxed in his bed. The light makes it look like Gari is enjoying some good TV, but it was from a reef aquarium.

Gari was hoping the smart phone was a treat. Eventually he got his treat.

Capybaras are semi-aquatic, so one of Gari's favorite passtimes is taking a dip in the pool.

Just as he popped up in the pool. Notice how everything is right at the top of his head. He can almost completely submerge himself leaving only his eyes, ears and nostrils out of the water.


That face. How could you not love that face?


Capybaras have rather unique feet. four toes, and at the end of each toe, a little hoof.

They're closely related to guinea pigs, btw. So you could imagine my total delight in meeting this guy. He was quite fun to be around; friendly, curious, and smart. Oh, and they have some impressive teeth!

(edit) Also, one more thing you may notice. There's a bald spot on his nose. (Actually, in person it's not really bald, but it looks that way in photographs, It's a bit of a raised area in reality) This spot is a scent marking gland. This is one of the ways he can mark his territory (or items you're holding, which he can make nice and greasy)

Cool. I love Capys. We have a baby Capy that was born a couple of months ago at the Zoo

^ what the Jefe said.

So when we had a few folks in the other day for quotes on putting up our moulding one said 450 and he's done a lot of work int he building so we say OK great. Today, after they have done a good portion of the work he reveals it is $4.50 a linear foot...uh, NOT what we asked him to quote. I got pretty bent out of shape, Billy was much more diplomatic. But they are coming back tomorrow to finish the common areas only, even that is 200 LF, but we are only paying him $700 bux, and that includes his supplies. serious miscommunication...hat​e that.

Ouch - that was not good. Glad you have someone else that can come in and finish for you

Good Morning Folks

Easy catch up today. Off to sweat and stretch a bit, then into another stupidly busy day I go.
