Walk sideways? You have to walk sideways to make crossed fingers work? Rut ro. Why didn't someone tell me this years ago?

Fish ~ there is no p in Moat. We can't pronounce pMoat.

[Mad "about weasel" Scientist]

Fishy - my comment was that all the comments by other moaties you had you probaly didn't need my opinion. I'm not saying I agree or disagree just offering a hug of support for whatever choices you and Mrs. Fish make. I have been to many strip clubs in my day (usually where females are stripping). I see the usefulness, but from friends I know who thought it a good way to pay for school I do believe there is an emotional price that the woman pays. Maybe Mrs. Fish should talk to some of the "retired" strippers.

Jamester and SN- great to see you back around!

[Somewhere North]

DDi, I don't have a bunker. I like to stand out in the open and get hit with all missiles. But then, in my job I'm used to it.

At this rate, by the time hurricane season ends, you'll be living in a lovely coastal community.

[Leetie]

*TOOOOOOOOOOOOT*

I feel MUCH better now!

[Tamara]

I need a drink!

[Susan]

Good gracious Leetie! I go to lunch and come back to that...I think I feel a little ill...

Course, maybe I shouldn't have eaten so much at lunch.

[Leetie]

Musta been that double lacto milkshake with extra cheese I had for lunch.

[slyeyes]

Who pulled Leetie's finger?!?

It's gonna take a Cat 3 or better to clear that one out of the Moat.

[Eleanor]

sly - when I watched the news this morning I was so glad your sis had left, and now we find out otherwise -
Oy, indeed.
But I just took a peek at the news and rita's been downgraded to a Cat 4, so that has to be a good sign....

[Mad "about weasel" Scientist]

who pulled leetie's finger?!!!

[wolfie]

Don't drink the water. See fish's last statement.

[Mr.Fishaire]

Amen Jamester (you have been gone awhile hope everyone good and happy and healthy and Stery)

Hence my asking a group of friends that I do happen to know quite well, some of us do stay pretty well caught up on the Moat and talk to each other outside of the Moat.

I just like to go over the consequences as you said, with as many different scenarios and possibilities as possible from as many smart people (Suck UP!! thay said) as I can. I believe it could even fall under the category of Research. True, we kinda are already doing it, so I'm a little LTTG but I was still just getting a feel and would like to know.

And for SN, I was not offended at what you said, it's cool. I'm cool. I think I've even said this a few times now. I know not everyone is going to be all gung ho for it just because they think that's what I want to hear. I asked you guys for your honest opinion, and that's what I want. An honest opinion. It's like Leets pointed out, it was the way you said it.
Also, in case you missed this post here it is again.

I guess different strokes for different folks. eh?

If it ain't your bag, then it ain't your bag baby.

I knew some people would not be cool with it. So, that's fine.

But I will defend my position on the matter and my dear friend Wolfie.

So, when is this field trip anyways? I should probably get to cleaning out the fridge.

Weird, I just posted a post of myself.

Higgy cue the Boomschwack, no wait, I mean the Twilight Zone muzak!

[jamester]

The MOAT ate my last post, so now this'll probably be a double-post, but WTH.
Punky - life's good, all about soccer with the kids, work, and home repair with the wifester. How's yourself, and things at Punkyvision? I'm going to try to be a little more present, I miss you guys when I'm elsewhere.
HI Mad! Fish, I hope you will take my comments in the spirits intended and not see them as judgemental, just concerned. I'll need to peruse my albums to come up with any suggestions about music, although "Danger zone" by Kenny Loggins strikes me as a possible...

[Eleanor]

Leetie!!!!

Where is your decorum? the MOAT Standards of Decency must not be violated!

*tries to grab Leetie's finger*

[Mad "about weasel" Scientist]

heehee sly GMTA

Oh well I'm off for awhile try to hold the moat together and air it out at the same time.

[Lt. Woman]

Is 5 minutes up yet? This walking sideways thing is not as easy as it seemed when I typed it...

Reminds me of a joke though

(I know now that it's been more than 5 mins.. I had a phone call.. it's also quite strange to walk in a straight line when you've been walking sideways for 5 minutes.)

anyway.. back to the joke..

*Confession* I started typing out the joke, then realised I couldn't remember the punchline properly. If anyone can remember the joke about the fish who takes her crab boyfriend home to meet her parents, please insert it " here "

[DDi]

Lt, are you sure thats a joke? Sounds more like an STD waiting to happen to me. ;)

[slyeyes]

I saw a story on TV about evacuating a nursing home in Galveston. As some old guy is slowly making his way to a bus using his walker, the narration was "nursing home residents in Galveston run from Rita".

One man's hobble is another man's run.

[bangi]

*sniff sniff*
hey..whats that sme
*THUD*
*fainted*

[jamester]

I f****'n knew it!

[DDi]

Lt, are you sure thats a joke? Sounds more like an STD waiting to happen to me. ;)

[Jeff Meyerson]

BigD: A couple of years ago I read Erik Larson's Isaac's Storm: A Man, A Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History. It's about the 1900 Galveston hurricane. Wow. Talk about death and devastation. Unbelievable.

Whoops, still heinzing and I see Eleanor already mentioned this and how good it is. Don't want her to think I wasn't paying attention. Larson also wrote The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic & Madness at the Fair That Changed America, the Chicago World's Fair of 1893.

After all, she probably only has about another 40 years to dance naked.

Excellent, Rita!

And then Janice tells me to tell our parents not to watch TV because it will worry them.

Good one, Sly. At least she's NORTH of Houston and you already said it's in an evacuation area. My friend Bill is in Alvin to the south, actually between Houston and Galveston. He says there is a vault at the college he can go to, but now he thinks the storm has moved far enough north that he'll be OK.

But how do you know? And how do you know that tonight or tomorrow morning it won't suddenly veer to the south? Obviously, you don't, so you get while the getting's good.

He gave the same excuse - roads too crowded, etc. Surely there is more than one road out of Houston?

(*I know, don't call you 'Shirley'.*)

And to not find a way to board the windows seems stupid to me. Hire some teenagers or college students.

Laynie, the only Rod song that I like is (naturally) The Motown Song. Everything else makes me want to gag.

But...but...even "Maggie May"?

By the way, fyi Rod's "The Great American Songbook IV" is coming out October 19. Jackie (and Eleanor, I'm betting) will be in line to buy it.

[Leetie]

Fish: How about Alannah Myles' "Black Velvet"?

[Somewhere North]

Fish - I was blunt, absolutely. And I probably should have rephrased it. That is why I apologized. But as much as I joke and make fun of life in general, I don't joke or sugar coat something like that. It's not going to do you any favours not to tell you straight up.

[Susan]

Any of the music from The Full Monty has a stripper kind of sound to it. Admittedly it is guys stripping, but hey. Stripping's stripping.

Unless it's stripping paint, and I really don't need music for that.

Every time I hear "You Sexy Thing" I picture the guy very clumsily stripping to it early on...and crack up.

The playlist for today...

You know, I just posted something...or tried to. The playlist and all.

I'm gonna post this and wait and see if it shows up...

[DDi]

Woohoo! I'm back to doublin' my posts.

SCHWEET!

[Susan]

**sigh**

[wolfie]

DDi ~ The doubles make up for the ones the Moat eats.

I just read an article on cnn that said people stuck in traffic jams between houston and austin are pushing their cars to conserve gas so they don't run out and end up stuck on the expressway. Why do you suppose they don't open up both sides of the highway to relieve some congestion?

[Somewhere North]

Since everyone should probably be on their way either to visit DDi in her bunker or north of Canada to get away from this thing, I agree they should be opening both sides of the highway.

Of course, that means all the news crews wouldn't be able to get to Galveston in time to stand on the shore in the violent rain, propped up by a steel beam that's slowly drifting away in the storm surge and keep America updated by saying "Conditions are worsening as Rita comes ashore..."

[Susan]

For the same reason they didn't a few years ago in SC with storms coming...it would make too much sense.

[Jeff Meyerson]

Wolfie, don't know about that road but I did see the road leading north had all 8 lanes going out of town.

I'm afraid I had a real rooty toot Leetie moment this afternoon. We went to lunch at a Middle Eastern kind of place. I had vegetarian mussaka (their spelling) with eggplant, tomatoes, etc. Jackie had chicken couscous and gave me her celery, broccoli, cabbage & whatever else she doesn't like.

We came back here and got in the elevator and... let's just say it's a good thing the MOAT doesn't have smellovision. At the 4th floor, unfortunately, a woman got in and we just tried to look innocent. "Smeel, what smell? I don't smell anything. DO you smell anything?"

I don't think it worked.

Susan - I will DEFINITELY be home for tomorrow's show. Since you mentioned it, can you play "You Sexy Thing"? Thanks.

[Somewhere North]

Which I guarantee Anderson Cooper (who is very hot by the way) will do.... Him or the dark haired younger guy who made the journalistic mistake when interviewing a guy who was looking at the remains of his entire neighborhood of asking his opinion on a marching band in the background. The guy just looked at him and went "I'm kind of busy right now".

[jamester, not standing in line]

I always thought it sounded like Rod gargled razor blades. OK for rock, but those standards really point up that the man can't sing ...

[wolfie]

Jeff ~ at least you knew you were the real reason of the aroma. My favorite is when I get on an empty elevator and the doors close and then the smell hits me and *gag* it was there before I walked in. Then the elevator stops on another floor and someone else gets on and they look at me like I did it. And there is zero way to get them to believe I didn't do it.

So usually at that point I just let rip with whatever I've been saving up. I mean if I'm going to be accused of it, I might as well do it right? If I can arrange lean against the wall so it echos nicely and it gets good reverb it's a bonus.

[Mr.Fishaire]

SN- Oh ok. Well now it all makes perfect sense (not scents, Leets took care of that)

Mad- I forgot to put in the e-mail, crap, there was one more thing I forgot to mention that worries me about it, and that was the emotional toll it would take on her. I know she thinks she's tough, but doing that for too long (even I think) can mess up a good mind.

The plan is and has been discussed that it is just temporary. Sorry I may have left that small detail out of the Long post.

Although as Rita "the Wheelie chair Hurricane causer" said, she's probably got a good 40 years left in her. Kidding!

I'm truly just on the right side of the fence on this subject, I'm ok with it. For now. Money's good, she seems ok with it for now, nobodies getting hurt, she is in a place where they run a very tight ship, if not i wouldn't be ok with it. Neither would she. She really surprised the crap out of me by actually going through with it. She is not the type to typically do something like this. So, yeah if anything becomes the least bit unstable, we have and will protect our interests, which are our relationship and our kids. They come first. The minute it something doesn't feel right we pull the plug (so to speak). This isn't a life long dream of hers or mine or anything. Just a curren means to and end. Or something like that.

Yo Bartender!

*whistles ear piercingly LOUD!!*

We need another round for the Moat!! Rapido!

[Somewhere North]

That is why it is always a good idea to have a huge burly man and/or a dog with you that you can blame for the farts. The "yes, I fed him a T-bone today and his digestion is a little off" excuse works for both.

[Jeff Meyerson]

jamester - and each one is a little worse than the one before.

wolfie: hahahahahahahaha!

[jamester, not standing in line]

On another note, did any of you guys happen to bookmark the MOAT where we were discussing favorite authors? I lost it a while back and can't remember all of the names that were thrown about.

Jeff?

Ferris?

[Mr.Fishaire]

Jamester- Rod Gargled something alright, but I don't think I've ever heard it called Razor Blades.

Ladies? Have you?

Wolfie- Elevator Reverb WBAGNFARB!

Jeff- N I C E. The Moat Smells , WBAGNFAn Album or new single release.

[Somewhere North]

Rod Gargled? Must be a new band. Never heard of that one. I have heard of a band called Razorblades but I was in 11th grade at the time. Come to think of it, they sounded a bit gargled themselves.

[Leetie]

I heard that Mikey gargled with the pop rocks of 100 soccer players and died from the spider eggs.

[Somewhere North]

I heard that too! Only it was Sally who gargled clams shells with 100 goats with gallstones and she died from the snake bites. Okay, maybe it was a different story.

[jamester]

And when the hearse got to the cemetary, there was a bloody hook hanging from the passenger side door handle!

[Somewhere North]

No! And then what happened?

[jamester]

Well, they pretty much felt they had to wash the whole hearse, at that point.

[Tamara]

I just giggled! Oh, thank gawd! I'm still alive!

[Eleanor]

jamester, did you get my e-mail? I'm sorry I didn't ask permission first - I was caught up in the moment!

I just heard on the news from this very hot news hunk (I'm with you on this, SN!) that they're bringing in gasoline trucks for people stranded on the highway whose cars have run out of gas!

[slyeyes]

My Idiot Nephew has been heard from. He said he thought he'd never see the day when Texans would run from a little rain storm. He blamed all of the "running" on the number of Yankees who have moved into the area. He keeps forgetting his Momma is a Yankee.

However, to show that's a bunch of bravado, he offered to drive down and pick up Jessie. He was mad at Jessie's husband for waiting and also offered to "Kick is a$$"; A$$ kicking is one of his favorite activities.

Jessie is 10 miles away now. (YEAH!) -- which means about and hour and the traffic is getting better due to the lanes being opened.

Apparently, the sheer volume caught people off guard. Texan's DON'T usually evacuate at this rate.

No word on the python.

[Somewhere North]

Jamester - shame, you know. Bloodstains would add a certain je ne sais quoi to the next funeral.

Slyeyes - tell your nephew that Mother Nature kicks *ss better than anyone so get the h*ll out of there. Seriously, best wishes and prayers on your family.

Okay - I'm leaving now. Feel free to insult me at any time. You all know I don't bother to go back and catch up.

[jamester]

El - yes, shot back a reply. No need for any bloglits to ask permission before emailing me. We are all friends here (and isn't that odd, when you think about it?)
*Loves all present with a shot of whatever* Let the weekend begin!

[Eleanor]

jamester - got it!

I'm very far behind on my day, what with all the MOAT activity, the news on TV, and my daughter bringing sandwiches over for lunch, which didn't go too well - food wise:
Scene one on the phone
Me: Get whatever you want, you know I like everything.
Daughter: Turkey sandwich?
Me: No, no turkey. But anything else, I like everything.
Daughter: Are you sure?
Me: No jalapenos on the sandwich, otherwise (repeat previous statement)
Daughter: OK (I could hear trepidation in her voice but chose to ignore it.)

Scene 2 opens at the kitchen table where Mom and Daughter are opening sandwiches from Submarina
Me: Yuk, this sandwich has sprouts - I hate sprouts!
Daughter: You said you liked everything!
Me: But not sprouts!
(Daughter hand picks all sprouts off my sandwich and has to open it to do that)
Me: Peppers, eekkk!
Daughter: You said no jalapenos, these are pepperoncinis (sp?)
Me: There's a difference?
(Daughter hand picks all those off my sandwich)
The rest of the sandwich was fine, except for the roll, but I decided not to comment on that!

But she's wonderful - really! She just laughed at me instead of gettin p*ssed off, and then gave me a chocolate cheesecake brownie for dessert!!!

*zips out to read MOATies blogs*

[Eleanor]

Okay - I'm leaving now. Feel free to insult me at any time. You all know I don't bother to go back and catch up.

Great exit line!!!

[slyeyes]

Leetie, *snork*

JESSIE MADE IT!!

6 hours to drive 30 miles.

[MarieP]

Hi!
I'm two days behind with heinzing, and it's very very late so I won't give you a full report now, just wanted to tell you that tonight I had the pleasure to meet the wonderful MiB soon-to-be MiK, and a pic is in the "More Bloglits" folder! I still have to find out a way so that you can see a bit more of us and less of the Eiffel Tower *snork* but as you all know I'm technically challenged...
It was a great Bloglit Meet!

Buenas noches, more tomorrow!

[Eleanor]

I heard that Mikey gargled with the pop rocks of 100 soccer players and died from the spider eggs.

*snork*

[Mad "about weasel" Scientist]

What I want to know is why did she swallow that fly?

[Jeff Meyerson]

(*psst, Mikey had sex with 100 soccer players. Pass it on*)

LOL on idiot nephew, Sly. Still no word on the python?

Personally, I just don't get it. Galveston is on an island. Key West is on an island. Brooklyn is on an island. To get off an island you need to get over a bridge or through a tunnel.

Houston is NOT on an island. Why does everyone have to take the one same stupid road to get out of there? Why can't you go west and then north, or south and then west?

Can someone explain this to me?

[Leetie]

Note to MoatMen: NEVER offer Eleanor a turkey sandwich. ;)

[wolfie]

Jeff ~ lemming factor. IMHO

[Leetie]

6 hours to drive 30 miles.

Ugh... just goes to show that it's virutally impossible to effectively "evacuate" ANY big city.

[Leetie]

BTW, wolfie, you caught me off-guard with your "...I just let rip with whatever I've been saving up..." comment.

lol!

[Deon]

I agree, Leetie, she catches me off guard every time she does that.

G'night all. I'm out till Monday.

[wolfie]

It's all about the muscle control.
Someday I will induce actual spewage. In someone besides whoever is unlucky enough to be in the elevator with me I mean.
*grins*

[Susan]

*makes a note that I should watch out if I'm ever in an elevator with wolfie*

[neophyte]

You know, you guys are all nuts. Speaking of nuts... (like how smoothly I did that?) It is windy here. What does that have to do with nuts? I live under two big oak trees. Walking under them in the fall when it is windy is like walking through a hailstorm. I've got lumps on my head!

[sandy beach]

Hello all--I received secret intel that Fish's story was worth reading so I have been blurking.

Here's my take: What you are doing is not weird--in fact, I think a desire to strip in front of people of the opposite sex (if you're straight) is absolutely hardwired in most people. So there is nothing to feel guilty about.

Most of us fantasize about it but don't do it because of fear of consequences. And SN and jamester are pointing out some possible consequences. It seems highly likely that people you know will eventually find out and the repercussions could be horrible for you and your kids.

Unfortunately, we live in society ruled by the "moral majority" and to some extent they can make our lives miserable, even if we are not unhappy with our own behavior. Nothing you don't already know--just adding to the chorus.

A brief explanation for not showing up for about three moats. I feel guilty if I spend too much time in front of the computer. My back especially hates me when I overdo it. My work keeps me chained to my computer until I get it done--then I can go and do something else. So the more I blog, the longer it takes to get my work done and the more I have to hang around my computer. I predict that as the weather gets worse and it gets darker and darker, I'll be hanging around more--like last winter. Can you believe summer is officially over? Bummer for us northern hemispherites.

Fortunately, El makes sure I don't miss the really important breaking news, like the Fish story. So I will continue to stick my head in from time to time. I miss you!

[Bismuth]

nothing like strippers to deblurk all the MOATies...

[wolfie]

On the whole 'what if someone finds out?' thing. Since we are in fact a society ruled by the moral majority *twitch* most wives would not be impressed to hear that their husbands had seen someone in a strip club. Since chances are, they could not have been in one without their wives having sh*tfits all over the place. So the chances of a husband/boyfriend finding out and telling everyone, I think are fairly slim. They exist mind you, but even to spread good gossip, if a husband starts a phrase with 'I was in the strip bar down on elm and 64th..' and he probably won't get much further into it before his wife removes his wedding tackle. Possibly with a dull spoon.
Just my thoughts on it.

*waves* hiya Sandy. hiya Bis.

[Bismuth]

grrrrr... apparently I have been labeled COMMENT SPAM for trying to post a productivity enhancer.

[Bismuth]

perhaps this works...

[wolfie]

We can use CAR and BOOGER, but not ch at. I figured that one out the hard way.

[Blogchik]

Fish, I am sorry. I apologize. I was out of line.

I was feeling too tense/stressed/upset/miserable/on edge/ready to chew nails to catch such subtlties as 'teasing' or 'sarcasm.' So I apologize.

My big secret was that I hit on a guy and got very bluntly rejected and could not talk about it without crying. In fact, I still doubt that I can retell the story in full detail without crying, so I'll just leave it at that. I suppose it was just a blow to the ego, but I'm so new here, I really haven't built up a support network yet. And I haven't really been in much touch with the support network back home since I have such a crazily full schedule...honestly I've been meaning to call some people back since Monday and it's almost Friday and I've not done it. And I'm woefully sleep deprived, and I almost fell asleep in two classes, and all I really want to do is sleep, and I'm not going to have that opportunity until about 7 pm tomorrow.

So I guess I did the same thing with you, Fish, as I did with that guy: Open mouth, insert foot. For that reason, I daren't give any opinion on the strip club thing whatsoever. I should just stop talking, at least then I won't say anything stupid.

I'm going to go crawl under a rock now.

:(

[Blogchik]

I should add that this is the first time I've had the chance to get on the MOAT since my Idiot Post. I haven't been blurking, I just haven't been online. Went to the Apple Store for tech support two nights in a row. First night, went, and found out they had no slots left. Actually it wasn't just me. I got a ride from this guy who's a third year student. He is nice, but I have decided it's best if I just mentally resign myself to not having any boyfriend for the forseeable future.

Oh, also, on Tuesday night I left my keys at the library and wasn't able to get them back until today. I described them to this guy I had noticed in the library every time I was there (Mon, Tues, Wed to find keys but didn't find them), and asked if he'd seen anything like it. He said yes he had seen something like that and told me where. I went to the library and there they were! :) People sort of stake out study carols at the library. They just out and out leave their stuff there. It's not like anybody's going to steal it around here. If only we weren't in Yonkers, we'd never have to lock ANY doors.

Did I mention I was tired? Two days of five hours sleep a night is NOT good for me. Plus the flu is going around. God forbid I should catch it.

[slyeyes]

My niece was not on the only road out of town. She was on a side road that she thought wouldn't take as long. EVERY ROAD was packed. The mains routes out of town are I-45 (north) and I-10 (east-west). Then there are the state routes, etc. Trust me, those were used as well. The Houston area has 4 million people. Not all of them were leaving; but enough of them when they all decided to leave at the same time, you get a traffic nightmare.

My sister lives in a smaller community north of there and for her husband to take the side roads to go to the store to get toilet paper; a normal 10 minute trip was 2 hours.

I'm going to be a wreck Saturday morning. I KNOW they are far enough away to be out of danger and will just have goshawful rain, etc......but her phone service will most likely get knocked out and it will be awhile before I get the official okey dokey that they are ok. As I said, cell phones are already acting quircky.

I just noticed that the storm took more of a right turn; but may pick up speed tonight. As far as taking the right turn, my first instinct is to say "Good!"

But in situations like this, one community's fortune, is another's misfortune. This b!tch is gonna hit land somewhere and wherever it does, it won't be pretty.

She'll be fine she'll be fine she'll be fine she'll be fine she'll be fine she'll be fine.

[Mr.Fishair]

Blogchik

You are fogiven dear.

I hold no grudges. Or try not to. It's unhealthy.

Thanks for actually speaking to me. That helped alot.

Hug?

Wet noodle whipping?

I'm probably one of the, if not the, most laid back guy you could ever meet. But when I do get upset, well, it usually ain't pretty, and that really hurt. So I apologize for being rude to you. I was out of line there.

Hug?

Grope Hug anybody?!?!

SN?

I'm not above a threesome.

Or fiftysome. ;)

[Lt. Woman]

Woohooo!! Happy Anniversary Mad & Mike! - sorry.. hard as I tried,(okay, I googled some interesting word combinations..), I couldn't find a picture of a Weasel with a Mad Scientist. This was the next best deal.

In the library today, I spotted a video.. "Scottish Karaoke"... totally bizarre IMO.. including backings for "Donald, Where's Your Troosers", which my Mum used to sing to us when we were young.
Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low,
Down the street in my kilt I go,
And all the lassies shout "Hello!
Donald, where's your troosers?"

Mr Fishaire.. are you related to Frigidaire? If so, where do you keep your Popsicles?

Mad.. I don't know why she swallowed the fly.. I guess she'll die...

Sandy!! Great to see you back, sweetie. Also, your autumn is our spring, so on behalf the southern hemisphere.. thanks. *blows Sandy a kiss*
Not that you could tell.. snow most of Monday.. rain continuing intoTuesday.. Wed-Fri, cool but sunny. Warm and dry enough for kids to run around outside today.

Bis.. I may have to kill you for that HyperFrame link. I'm hooked. Tell Erin I'm really sorry about that and I hope it doesn't upset her plans for the weekend too much.

{{{Blogchick...}}} This too, shall pass. You've had a crappy week or so, but things will turn around. Focus on the positive, even the little stuff, and keep on keeping on. We'll be here for you.

Okay.. I remembered the fish & crab joke slightly wrong. Either that or I heard a slightly different version.. I did find it online though.. yellow for the f-bomb.

For whomever it was that asked... I did a little research.. the bookfest was quite a while ago now.. early- to mid-March. Somewhere around Moat 15, I think.. (this is from looking at the links posted in the file section of the Remoat). If you want a list of my favourites, just email me.. clicking on my name should work at the moment. I'm sure the other bibliophiles around here would be happy to help out similarly..

*tries to think of the last time someone tried to hit on him*

We were having this discussion at work recently. No, not hitting on Kibby (that discussion was last month), but women hitting on guys.

The consensus was, guys liked the CONCEPT of women being the first to ask them out; but when it came down to reality, it made them uncomfortable.

Along with that discussion was the definition of "hitting on". Was it flirting, or did it involve actually asking someone out.

FRIDAY!!!

No, not hitting on Kibby (that discussion was last month),

Crap, missed that one too!

WCRE's morning show's trying to line Susan up for a volley ball contest. WCRE Men -vs- WCRE Women.

And, Lt. Woman, I hope all went well with it being your last day with your girls.

I just briefly re-read last night and this morning and had to chuckle at myself re you too, Blogshik. I had just returned from a dinner featuring wines of the Rhone Valley. 13 wines. OK, we skipped wines 10 through 12. We had already been there 4 hours. But apparently the 10 I had slurred my typing.

Good Morning and Happy Anniversary Mad and Mike.

So what is new on the moat today? Hitting on Kibby? Hubby has issues with that.

[kibby F5™]

10 wines in one night!? I'm lucky to get past 5!

[slyeyes]

sorry

[slyeyes]

Each serving was about 1/3 to 1/2 of a regular serving. We could have more if we asked. Sometimes we did.

Quoting Punky.

"Must Hydrate"

[Somewhere North]

Kibby - I read that 10 wives in one night. I need more coffee.

[Peri]

Considering your rimsh!t typo, sly, Blogshik wasn't the worst you could do.

[kibby F5™]

SN, seems it's more like "Hitting kibby".

Line starts over there ------>

[slyeyes]

Peri, *snork* and {Hug}

*goes to stand in line to hit on Kibby*

[Mr.Fishaire]

FThirst! (to hit Kibby with a Brewski!)

Yeah, our Sly does do the greatest typos ever, huh Peri?

Oh no! they say he got to go

go go godzilla

*Dumps early morning earwig, since Deon donned me Duke I have no doubt dropped in my duties*

[Somewhere North]

Hit Kibby? That seems so violent. But if I must, I must. So what are the rules? Open hand slap, heavy objects, blunt instruments? Or soft cuddly nudges with stuffed animals?
