A FRIEND TO MAN?

It turns out there is a fly out there that causes lumpy squirrels.

(Thanks to Isabelle Briand)

(And, yes, this blog is well aware that "Lumpy Squirrels" would be a good name for a rock band)

*notices the sleeping blogettes suddenly smiled broadly and started shifting in bed*

OooOOhhhh....so that's why they've been having erotic dreams lately! Whoops!

*hehehe*

[insomniac]

Generic limerick: (though LTTG)
A young girl from somewhere exotic
Does something that's vaguely erotic
Counting sounds in each line
That's 9-9-6-6-9
And hope that it's not idiotic!

none of the efforts here could be described that way!

warning: as with most vices, writing limericks gets easier with time.

[Marvin]

's wack,
'niac!
Willable
Syllable!?
don't track!

[Joshkr]

Peri...I still want to be in one of the lil blank corner-days on the calendar!

Brat...how much for copies of Tamara's photo shoot?

I'm too sleepy to catch up the rest of the way...nite you wonderful people!

[¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP)]

*rushing in after a day of rushing about*

Lab - I would have guessed 42 of course, its the answer to many things.

Susan - even though I won't get to hear it, it would be fun if you played "Hit me with your rhythm stick" by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. I heard it the on the way home yesterday and it took me WAY back.

"Hit me with your rhythm stick"
"Hit me slowly, hit me quick"
"Hit me, hit me, hit meeeeeeeeeeee!"

Wohoooooo!

*rushes out*

[¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP)]

...and speaking of Ian Dury as I just was, I'm reminded of another hit of theirs:

"Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll"
(is all my brain and body needs.....)

[Kafaleni]

Hi... nice to see you all... caught up to about 30 mins ago and going again. See ya!!

[Marvin]

Day 1 went by too fast.

[Brat]

Joshkr - hmmmmm....how much for the photo of "Tamara, in jeans & tank with no bra"?

See the thing is, she didn't sign a release, and did I say before that she had just climbed up the MOAT ladder after geing thrown in. Did you know you can see freclkes through a wet tank top?

[ You believe all this right Joshkr?.....didn't think so ]

Anyway, that was all to provoke a reaction from you, buddy, so go back to sleep.

We don't want any of the MOATies to feel stalked or embarassed, so I guess I'll just send the MOATCam picture to Tamara and let her decide.

"Tamara, in jeans & tank with no bra" - here you go [hands Tamara the portfolio]. The camera does like you by the way. (see y photo)

[Tamara, with still-wet hair]

Good morning, MOATies!!

MOATies, I am struggling to keep up! I do try to read most everything, so my lack of response is usually due to a [temporary?] lack of wit, never lack of amusement. I guess what I am trying to say is:

{{Wys! "little spunk" and "bottomless eyes"--I am still giggling about that!}}

and

{{Brat, you are toooooo sweet/cute/all-the-words-guys-hate-but-chicks-use-anyway. ;) Thanks! *blushing!*}}

[wolfie]

Totally off topic, but relavant to what I'm working on this morning..
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUU to whomever it was that posted that link to the program download that converts pdf's into any other format and vice versa. I owe you. Big time. Let me know how I can repay you.
I took the link to my tech weasels here at work who absofreakinglutely loveeeee it. They have put it on several of our computers. Actually, they are hoarding it and just sharing it with a few 'special' people they like. Myself included. And since I've given them a new toy, I've earned serious suckup points. Always handy when one can crash a pc in ways they have never seen.

[«LabSpecimen»]

Anybody for some fresh muffins? I made lemon-poppy seed, blueberry, Jamaican Apple-Cinna Mon, and Banana-Rhubarb. Get 'em while I'm... er... they're hot.

[Peri]

I really had to wrestle my comp to get the MOAT to load so this may be my last post here.

I haven't been keeping up on a timely basis so by the time I read the painful things that have happened to some of my friends here it's past time to comment on them and I don't want to bring up sad things again when everyone has moved on. I did see them and I wanted to say...well...can we just have a big group hug? (((MOAT)))

Yesterday was the spring concert at Jamie's school and she had to learn 12 songs. She was great. She was allowed to wear make-up for the concert and she looked about 15. A fifth grader (who she has had a crush on since she was in kindergarten) said she looked 'hot'. Oh boy. I won a prize! The 'Movie Nite' basket - DVD player, DVDs, snacks and munchies, a big fleece blanket and other stuff. Not bad for $7 in tickets.

Today is the last day of my holidays =(

[insolentwench]

What no Chocolate chip muffins?? ..dang!

[Eleanor]

*zips in on sunshine*

Good morning everyone from su.so.ca. - temp will get up to 80F again today! Yay! This is why it's so expensive to live here - the weather! So we had better be getting it - or else! AND - unlike other states that have warm weather that I won't embarass by naming (Florida!) we do NOT have humidity to make us all sticky - UGH!

I know I'm LTTG on this, but Welcome Wile E! I didn't see you enter, I must have been busy writing my limerick :) In addition to all other services provided by the MOAT, please know that we also have here a branch of the KibEl Detective Agency (motto: we're armed and dangerous) if you need to have anyone investigated!

*zips out to get coffee in her new Starbucks mug with beautiful pictures of San Diego on it*

[Brian B]

Kibby and Lab,
Thanks for the hockey updates! Amazingly enough, I would love to see the Czech Republic win it all. So, it was good (in a melon collie way) to see them beat the US.

Eleanor and Jeff,
Thanks for reading! I haven't had a whole lot to say nor a whole lot of time the last couple days to do any updating. RL is kicking my ass (thus my infrequency of MOATing). I do agree though, the kid is real cute and obviously doesn't take after his father.

Graz,
Sorry to hear about the rough patch in the health department. Hopefully your ex will recover quickly and the doctors got everything. My aunt just had a full histerectomy (sp?) a couple weeks ago and she is still recuperating. It's major surgery and she needs to take it easy and draw strength from the support of her loved ones.

I can't believe I missed Limerick Day! Seriously, I'm going to have to quit my job and just blog all day. I think I should also build a solar death ray. That thing was sweet.

P has class all weekend so I've got baby-sitting duty. I don't know how often I'll be on this weekend. I'll try to get some more pics while I'm baby-sitting. Also, I don't know if it will work, but for Mother's Day, I took P and CMB to Sears to have their pictures taken. The pictures are online, but I think you need my username and password to view them. So, I don't think I can post the link, I can share them through the Sears website though, so if you would like to see them, email me and I can send them to you.

[Blogchik, with nothing particularly interesting about her clothing choices]

Welcome, Wile E./longtime lurker! Glad to have you! Have a coconut bra or penguin thong (depending)!

Request!Could somebody please collect my Russia updates in some manner of file and email them to me? Or just post'em on the Y? I would do this myself, but I HAVE NO TIME. And every minute I spend online here costs me a bundle....I would just rather not wait til June to tackle this. If anybody has the time/inclination, shoot me an email!

/Russia update
We're still having Marchy weather round here. The crocuses have bloomed, but they are getting rained on. We had a nice sunny day yesterday, but it's returned to rainy and chilly. The temperature is about 50 degrees, plus wind. Windchill of who knows.

I'm running out of time to do all my sightseeing things. And I have to study for my first level test, if I'm actually going to take it...anyway, I need a solid itenerary for the next month/month and a half I have left here. However, all I really want to do is go to bed.
/end Russia update

[«LabSpecimen»]

Wench! You're here!

No. Chocolate chip muffins are for people that really want a cookie.

[neophyte]

Hi, Insolent Wench!!!

[neophyte]

Dang. Now I really want a cookie.

[neophyte]

*rattles the fart jar in Fishair's general direction*

And just a tip, Mr. Fisher... if you want people to follow behind you, perhaps it's best if you at least blame it on Fluffy.

[neophyte]

Mr. Fisher, you certainly cleared the place out quickly. Even the paint is peeling itself off of the walls to try to leave. But Fisher's air is fine over at the freshair moat!

[Eleanor]

*zips in to pack up*

Susan, can you play Follow Me, by John Denver? Appropriate for our move, n'cest pas?

*eats a muffin to get energy for hauling*

kibby, where are you? Could you please help move our office supplies? There 's already a desk, 3 chairs and a couch in the new place, but we still have other stuff!

I'll send some e-mails!

*zips out*

[Brat]

Peri - "spoonfuls of fresh air" loads really fast. Come on over.

[Blogchik]

I go away from the MOAT for a half hour and everybody leaves! What????

[«LabSpecimen»]

FYI: I added a recipe for Jamaican Apples to the recipe MOAT. I'd post a link, but I closed that tab already.

[Bismuth]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The last friday before finals week is called Stop Day and there's no class. That means I am totally and completely done with classes (until grad school starts). I also have no final exams to worry about, though I do have a paper and a project to turn in still.

TO celebrate, Erin and I went to our first and quite possibly last house party. Not that we didn't enjoy it, it's just not our thing. There was a band playing there with a couple of friends of ours. It was their last show. One of the KU basketball players showed up... one of the really tall white guys. This guy

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[insolentwench]

Yes, indeedie, I am here...I'm there...I'm everywhere..*grin*

Hi ya Neo and greetings to everybody else..*smiling and waves*

[Mike "Mad's Dork" Weasel]

*dances a spry jig*

[Mr.Fishair]

ANYONE! and I really mean
ANYONE! who want to follow us to the NEW MOAT, please scroll up and read ten whole comments.

See ya'll there.

[Mr.Fishair]

oops. I'd seriously forget my s if it wasn't attached.
