Double wide...

[Mike Weasel]

*skeet shoots work monster*

*BLAM!*

Don't worry, Elle, I just winged it enough to slow it down. I didn't think you'd want me to kill it completely.

[Mike Weasel]

Wow, that's over 80 ramparts in Canada. They're really well...ah, fortified up there.

[Leetie]

Do they make melon baller angle lenses?

[slyeyes]

"mellon baller angle lenses" -- now those are four words you wouldn't think would be in the same sentence. Well, not in the RL anyway. Here, not so surprising.

[Higgy]

Leetie - I have a close-up feature on my digital camera... c'mere and let me show you how it works....

[rhealist]

I wonder if they will be doing the photo shoots outside? 'Cause it's starting to get a little chilly up here... and nobody likes chilly ramparts. er, well...I suppose they have their (not they're) good points *groan*

Would Chilly Ramparts BAGNFARB?

[Higgy]

*waves at Bangi*

I don't know when my buttooty first got mentioned, but I wouldn't nominate it for any awards...

I'd go see a band called "Chilly Ramparts"!!!

[rhealist]

Don't worry, Higgy. The women of the blog will nominate it for you. *wink*

[rhealist]

Congratulations, Higgy! You win this lovely penguin thong!

Now, once those photographers are finished with Peri and Zoodle...

[rhealist]

*waves to Bangi*

y'know, Bangi, Tina, Rita, Leetie, slyeyes, I think there's enough of us around to handle a MOAT photo shoot.

*smiles at Higgy* You're our first award winner, Higgy. We really should record the moment... for posterity.

sorry, I couldn't resist

[Susan]

I'm right here, Bangi. Trying to catch up on everything since last night.

On the subject of Higgy's hindparts, I thought it was patootie. But that could just be me.

*tries to get some work done with Aerosmith running through my head* (well, the songs, anyway. Not the actual band.)

[rhealist]

excellent, Tina. Now we just need Bangi to drink a coupla cokes and go for her rope...

I am waiting with all Joshkr's videotaping equipment... I had no idea there was so much of it!

Do you suppose Higgy is susceptible to stage fright? Perhaps we should ply him with Moataritas first?

[Mike Weasel]

I'm here! *waves* Ooh, look, butt butter!

[Kat]

me too susan.. but buttooty describes it beautifully

[Higgy]

This patootie (where do these names come from?) is off to a really snoozy 1/5 hour web meeting...

Thrill a minute....

If you're going to have a MOAT photo shoot, be sure to get several rampart shots and send them to Joshkr....

[Kat]

I have a feeling.. *grops around a little* that patootie, like so many other fantastic words,has Yiddish roots.. I will go see if I can find it

[rhealist]

It seems Higgy snuck out the back way when we weren't looking!

*looks around*

Oh, hey there, Mike.

*signals to Tina and Bangi to surround him*

Soooo, how've things been?

[Federal Duck]

We need some sort of moat-wide internet chat for this debate. We could all get completely snockered and make fun of the whole fiasco. We could play Elle's drinking game! That would rock. A few hundred of our closest bloggers getting drunk across America. That's what politics is all about.

[Federal Patootie]

I don't know what the conversations is, but I saw Bangi say lasso, whip, handcuffs, and then that her patootie was gone. I volunteer for the honorable role of substitute patootie!

[Susan]

Patootie may be Yiddish, Pennsylvania Dutch, something like that. One of those nice words to describe the rear end. Tuchas (tookus?) is a good one even if I have no idea how to spell it. You know what I mean. Heinie is a silly one.

[Mike Weasel]

Um hi ladies! Oooh you brought snacks?

[Susan]

And this is obviously a productive day, thus my contemplation of words to describe the hindparts.

Thursday, obviously.

And the fact that I seem to want to spell obviously ovbiously isn't a good sign, I'm thinking.

*subtly grabs a patootie or two in passing*

[Kat]

well.. i did find this for an answer. Looks like I was wrong.. no shock really, but this will be the something new I learned today

[rhea]

NOW TINA!

[Kat]

What time is the debate EST? I'm probably gonna be out.. time diffs are a b*tch

[rhealist]

darn it! I got so excited I left off half my name in my last post. I feel underdressed. *blushes*

*oils down deck with butt butter so Mike and FD can't run away*

[Kat]

anyone who wants to wear a thong as an eyepatch and go commando is also welcome to participate

[Susan]

Darn. Just as it gets interesting here, RL calls. Several commercial orders to somehow schedule. Including, *gasp* a political one. It's that time of year again.

And I think the debate is 9pm est, but I may be mistaken.

No I'm not. (I looked it up)

*subtley pinches a few of the male heinies before going to get some work done* They can't run away right? Just taking advantage of the opportunity...

[jamester]

Bangi, beauty of a move pretending to go off to be with a book and then sneaking up behind like that...
(Note to self: never but never takes off the beautiful Bangi)
(Notes that prior note to self was redundently unnecessary)

[kingw]

Kat I am not sure about the value of that etymology site. They don't have a listing for booger.

[Jeff Meyerson]

Hi guys. Just got caught up since yesterday.

1. Peri. Wow, we thought Christobol was good at cliffhangers but you REALLY left us hanging. Please report in!

2. sly. I too love banana bread, so if you get a good batch... just kidding! But then, you can't go wrong with Godiva.

If your (not you're) "friend" tells you that you have a purty mouth and asks you to squeal like a pig, call the law fast!

3. Polly, don't want to butt in where my opinion might be de trop, as Christobol might say, but you asked. All I'd say is think very very carefully before you make a major decision like that. From what you've said in the past it sounded like he wasn't interested in having your kids around. As long as that's changed... . Anyway, whatever you decide, good luck and you have our support.

4. Christobol, another great entry. I can't wait to see if you'll be able to tie it all together at the end (if there is an end?).

5. Bangi. Happy Holiday! If you're (not your) not fasting having a Coke on me.

[jamester]

"never but never take EYES off the beautiful Bangi"

Sheesh.

[rhealist]

*runs up with brain for Tina*

*slips in own butt-butter-oiled-deck trap and slides into wall*

*ouch*

[rhealist]

goodnight, Bangi!

[Susan]

*passes through on the way to more work*

Josh-if the cat is like one of mine, it wants to play.

Back to work.

Is it Friday yet?

[Kat]

king ... maybe they need contributions... just like the guy that compiled the OED... (anyone read The Surgeon of Crowthorne?.. fascinating book)

djt.. come as you are.. as you were.. etc etc

[Kat]

good to see that nobody's going anywhere fast

[kingw]

Joshkr Only the good stuff for the cat. Rachel will be glad to see that you are easily trained.

[Susan]

Well of course the cheap stuff won't do Josh, I'd say try the fresh salmon or tuna. Or maybe the cat is lonely. But I know with the two I have they like to be a part of whatever you are doing, preferring to lie right on top of the newspaper I'm trying to read, paw at the computer keyboard, get underfoot when I'm cooking. When I'm not doing anything the cats don't want anything to do with me.

[Mr.Fisher]

Pg Chest Compressions coming up!

Your supposed to perform compressions with your mouth right?

[Kat]

Josh.. there are very few cats for whom the cheap stuff does "do". I had one cat that could tell cat foods apart and he would only eat one brand.. fortunately it wasn't a gourmet brand. Any time I tried to buy him a special treat, he flat out would not eat it, no way, no how. I could have sliced up bird direct from the bird bath for him and he wouldn't have touched it

[Kat]

hey.. i finally got the chat page to load in the ReMOAT.. and I have to leave in about 15 mins!!

[Faydaralle Dook]

Blast it all.
I leave to do RL bullshneikey for about 30 minutes and when I come back, I've been propositioned, threatened with sadism, had butt butter references directed against me, and Bangi WENT TO BED. *gratuitous pouting*

From earlier (while I was gone) *grumble*:
*offers FD a legal document which says he consented to be [censored] on the Moat*

Where do I sign? *furious scribbling*
I don't know what being [censored] on a moat is like, or what it means, but I'm sure it'll be worth a shot.

ps. Penguin thongs?

[slyeyes]

I did a quick scroll 'n' scan and it sounds like a good idea going into the chat room during the debate...

*warns self not to rant during debate*

[rhealist]

Joshkr: Is it possible the cat wants you to follow her? Perhaps Petey's down the well!

FD: I've been propositioned, threatened with sadism, had butt butter references directed against me But only in the nicest possible way. *tosses him complimentary penguin thong*

I wish I could watch the debates and throw things, but I will still be at work. Although, probably better for my stress levels...

[Federal F#&%ing Duck]

I'm getting a little testy with this Yahoo groups thing. It won't let me past entering the code. That stupid trippy looking thing that they use for "security issues." I've entered it about 100 times (changes every time) and it won't let me in. *more gratuituous pouting and cursing*

[Mike Weasel]

*with penguin thong over eye* Arrrrr!! Who wants t'play "Walk the Plank?"

[Bismuth]

If she's MOATworthy material, ask for an email.

[rhealist]

sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you feel one up...

did anyone else ever learn that version of the song?

[Mike Weasel]

But I thought it wasn't the size of the plank, but the way it wiggles when someone jumps on it...

[Bismuth]

Rhealist- I think "Mounds" would fit equally well into that version of the jingle

[rhealist]

Bismuth: yes, yes they do.

[punky brewster]

Elle ... I had to come over here to respond to that post on the Main ... OMG, too funny.

Don't feel bad, hon. It was hysterical.

I've been reading the MOAT whenever I can so that I can keep up with everyone's lives ... I need to KNOW how my fellow bloglits are.

Hugs all around and a sneaky gropw here and there.

[punky brewster]

that would be grope ... not gropw.

*gives back elle's drink that I stole on the Main*

Clearly, I don't need anymore either.

[Mike Weasel]

*sob* (orders Austin Powers device)

[kingw]

elle Nobody is above a mistake or two not even a president as beautiful, funny and smart as you. If only Mirriam and dave respond it should be fine. You have my vote against the impeachment hearings. Perhaps you could use some help, maybe Josh could be Vice president, then you could delegate.

[Federal Duck]

Good evening L's and G's,

I wish I could join in the drunken debating festivities tonight. If anyone gets bored, maybe they could log it for Yahoo. I finally got on, and chatted with Joshkr for 8 seconds before something locked up.
That was funny elle; and djtonyb is right, it adds to the secret society mystique-like stuff.
*hands elle another moatarita, then rides off into the blogset*
Neener.

[kingw]

Peri you had us wondering. I wondered if you were going for a really dramatic departure from the moat. Maybe trying to top punky.

[crash]

HERE'S where all the fun is!

[rhealist]

*rolls out welcome mat and makes sure giant vat of MOATaritas is standing by*

[Higgy]

crash - here you go *hands over the welcome kit of grass skirt, moatarita and coconut bra*

Welcome!

And - before I run off to other fun things - thanks to elle for the Peri update. Had us nervous!!

[crash]

Sorry djt, I guess my brain is sliding into the wrong side of boogerdom.

[Mike Weasel]

*gasp* Crash has succumbed to the Dark Side of the Booger. *ignites nose saber*

[crash]

Oh yeah, and: YAAAAYY!!

[crash]

Do nose-sabers make the same "WOOOOOOUUUNG" noise?

[rhealist]

Welcome, crash! *hands over a MOATarita* A few of these, and everything will start to make sense.

Okay, has anyone ever seen this invention before?

Cool Toy

I'm thinking about getting one for the MOAT.

*crosses fingers and hope djt's HTML tips have made some impact on vapid brain*

[crash]

They're prolly green too.

[rhealist]

Darn it...

one more try

Cool Toy

[rhealist]

Yay!!!! Oh Yay!!!! This means I might actually have, like, a marketable skill!!!

*bounces up and down. Notices ramparts bouncing nicely... gets distracted*

Um, oh, yeah. Do I get a badge now? Please? I'll let anyone who wants to pin it on...

*looks around and smiles hopefully*

[Zoodle]

Just got home from work & caught up. Peri is fine.. I repeat... Peri is completely fine.

Film at 11.

[rhealist]

Joshkr: anytime *wink, nudge, sidles closer*

You know, with you around, who needs an audi-oh anyways...

Peri: by 'course all day' you did, of course, mean Playboy photo shoot, right?

[Zoodle]

Ok .. so I wasn't completely caught up. Sorry.

Anyway , I also heard the bangs but I thought it was firecrackers. They were fairly loud here too.

[rhealist]

djt - I nominate you for the BlogMaster Award for Arbiter of all things HTML - The winner gets a new-style velco penguin thong.

erm, Joskhr, I hope you don't mind that the videotaping equipment got a little buttery...

[rhealist]

*lifts up shirt* S'okay, the coconut bra is pretty tough.

[crash]

Gosh Peri that really sounds awful.

I can relate. There used to be gang fights across the street from my home. They would shoot the crap out of each other all night.

[rhealist]

Peri: I'm glad you're okay. And Hugh & co. don't know what they're missing.

On a WTF note, a giant, half-carved ham just appeared in our staff kitchen. Now everything smells like ham. I may have to leave. The smell is over-powering.

Besides, the only things I could use to play elle's debate game are 'unidentified liquid items at the back of the fridge'.

[Jeff Meyerson]

Welcome, crash & others (if they find there way here). I had a massive sinus headache much of the day due to 1000% humidity but it's moved on and so has the headache. Unfortunately, I'm stuck watching the debate but I'm hoping elle's drinks plan works. See you in the morning.

[rhealist]

Night Jeff, peri, joskr, zoodle, crash and anyone else around.

[crash]

night

[crash]

haha I guess a quasi intro is in order.
I'm an 18 yr old college student (sophomore). UCF. Art Major.
Born and raised in Miami, just north of Homestead.
My Dad works for Baptist Hospital (IT)
My Grandfather used to work for Eastern and now sells Carnivorous Plants.

Uh, thats it I guess.

[slyeyes]

haven't had a chance to catch up, but interesting thing...I noticed that the number of comments on this thread is now.....29.

Is that metric?

[Bismuth]

Welcome Crash! You're now the officially the youngest one here (I think... haven't seen Beanster on the MOAT in quite a while if at all)

[slyeyes]

now is says 1086...must have found more fingers and toes and other appendages.

A-hem...I have a confession to make.

I had a dream last night about one of our fellow Moaties.

DJTony.

Nice dream.....but wouldn't you know, as in life, I gravitate towards guys not suited to me. It was fun...we didn't even fight over the same guys.

And, no, it wasn't a sex dream. We were just dancing.

You're a good, dancer, DJT

[MrFisher]

Anyone....

I'm at home now and When I tried to click on chat in the Y group it kicks me out to the yahoo chat home page and I can't find the feking group........any suggestions beside taking my saw to this damn Puter??

[slyeyes]

well...I thought I was in the chatroom....but I'm getting nothing.

[slyeyes]

I went to the Ygroup and clicked on "chat", right?

[MrFisher]

There were a bunch of us in it earlier Sly and it worked fine, but I'm on my home puter now and it's acting screwy........Damnnnnnit, the debates started

[MrFisher]

Yep

[slyeyes]

booger, Chat isn't working for me!!

[MrFisher]

Me neither..........BOOGER

I guess I'm going back to work then.

See ya manana

[slyeyes]

have no clue what that means...I think it's because ;it says I'm offline, and it won't let me click to get online...grrrr

[Mad Scientist]

Caan't catch up read a little.

Weasel for you I will wave the house keeper and cook as long as you keep extra Godiva around.

Slyeyes - Godiva might work well to KY in winter but I was in school in Miami and my mom would send chocolate. It did not survive the trip to well. So Chocolate depends on the school. A tip on the banana bread stick it in a container with a couple slices of white bread and try shipping it. Should maintain moisture and taste well. this also works for cookies. Do NOT use RYE or Pumpernickle bread....

Mr fisher - it has to be on cervical vertebra I cant think of anything else.

Umm yeah ok Im off will try to catch up tomorrow maybe if I can...

*goes to work on Mr. Fishers idea of hitting computer keys for cures.

[Zoodle]

Just checked out all the pictures on the y group. Everyone looks great.

Higgy - You r definately a cutie patootie.

I also checked out Christobol's story. At the risk of pissing off punky..C-bol is THE MAN!

There were only 12 installments where I was. Are there more somewhere??

[Susan]

Getting caught up...

Peri-glad you're OK! Can't add anything on the vaccines, don't know much about them. I do plan to get my flu shot in a few days though.

Jeff-I feel your sinus headache pain. I woke up with a sinus headache Monday and nothing, absolutely nothing helped. Maybe using my neti would have helped, but I was afraid there was too much congestion to make it worthwhile. It does usually help though. I should use it regularly.
This will tell you a little about neti. Some people (ok a lot) are really grossed out, but it does a lot of good. And it doesn't hurt. Not like, say coffee through the nose...

Tina-I hope the trip to the dentist was ok (with my luck she posted right before I posted this...)

Crash-(and anyone else new) Hello. And welcome.

The chat room-I was going to try it a while back, but I had to load something on this computer. As this is about the only one I'm not currently fighting with I am reluctant to load anything on it.

*thinking* Was that everything I wanted to get caught up on? I think so...but there I go thinking again. Not always a good idea.

I think this has been quite long enough; I will be quiet for a bit and try to get a little work done...

[Susan]

Another rather humerous site with discussion of neti is here. The whole site has a lot of funny stuff too.

[Susan]

*leaving for a while after the, well, boogery thoughts I may have caused*

[slyeyes]

debate is over...I spent most of the time trying to get in the chat room. Not sure I really got there......I switched to a different computer and the chat room I went in had no one there.

Bummer.

I think my main computer has so many firewalls, etc. that it wouldn't let me get in.

On the mainblog....someone said they were kicked off because of their views....did I miss a smackdown or somethign??

[Tina]

I am offically drunck as shit...I faithfully played Elle's debate drinking game and now I am completly shnockered... Damn... Dentist went fine I have to go pee now,,,, damn the drinkng game made my head go boom,
Hi Crash glad to se eyou here...Ick I am drunck...

[Tina]

Peri- I will give you my opinion on the shot tomorrow, can'tthink now...

SO we added to the game "drink whenever anyone uses GOD" and I think that is what pushed me over edge... Think have to go get friends stomach pumped... see youall tomorrow AM @ about 7ish pacific...
