Ok, I caved-in and put a pic on the Yahoo site. I doubt I'll get around to another bloglit page of my own very soon... things will be crazy for me the next few weeks.
Can somebody please pass me a happy pill?

*tosses pill down and chases it with a beer*
Thanks guys.

Hey, what's this happy pill doing in the ex-lax box? Hmmm... if THIS is here, then.... uh oh.

Knights to see you again Leetie ;-)
I've been blurking on the Yahoo group, since I've never Yahooed. (Yes, slowlayne, my KS score is lower than Lee's...c'est la vie |-) Just tryna figure my way around it, no more than that!
I'll put up a pic when I can get a better pic of me mug. Along with the Kegel exercises, I been workin' on "wattles" exercises! Sorry folks, but I'm pretty good at being camera-shy ("Yes! There's eadn! The back leg leaving the room!" :-)
What sorrowfelled me was seeing my driver's license pic last month as opposed to 6 years ago. DAMN! I need all the help I can get in the looks department and didn't know I'd "fallen down" so far on the job! :-)>

Josh - nice coat I defintiely need one of those. I am also considering some of http://www.giantmicrobes.com for decorations in the lab.
Weasel - anything is possible dear. I bend the laws of physics and time.
Leetie - Shhh don't tell but I slipped you an altoids tin full of happy pills.
Posted by: MadScientist | August 09, 2004 at 04:40 PM
Ummm try these

Posted by: eadn | August 09, 2004 at 04:55 PM
Thank you Eadn and Josh. I think I'll be ok if I can get away from these chemicals for awhile and find some food. I need a house boy to cook for me - Weasel or Josh are you available? Just don't ever use anything in the crisper of my refrigerator - none of it is edible...Well not without creating major hallucinations and possible sexual side effects.
Ok I'm off for the night. Play nice boys!
Posted by: MadScientist | August 09, 2004 at 05:10 PM
Josh - you are in such high demand by all these women are you sure you can spare the time to cook me dinner everyday and do my laundry. Also there is a requirement to pet my kitties until the purrrrr.... (ok Ok OK Please don't comment on that one)
*whispers in your ear - the side effects are...
Posted by: MadScientist | August 09, 2004 at 05:26 PM
Thanks for not commenting and YES that can really happen, but it isn't a good thing...
Posted by: MadScientist | August 09, 2004 at 05:39 PM
Mad Scientist, I once read in some novel or other how if you pressed a guy's perineum at "that" moment. He'd cum but not. Therefore, according to the story, he'd have more "times" for YOU!
Bangi_Babe! Check this for me, Please and Thank You! Think it was a "blurb" out of the Kama Sutra, but I ain't gonna look it up! (Let alone let a Lass stop the issue in question! ;-)
heh heh OK, All, I might not have "read" in a long while and my memory might "be flat", but y'all call the ball! :-)
Posted by: eadn | August 09, 2004 at 06:23 PM
heh heh Joshkr, sorry I couldn't post an "example", but aside from lacking illustrations, my scanner doesn't acknowledge "some book, maybe somewhere in my collection" ;-)
Posted by: eadn | August 09, 2004 at 06:36 PM
*skips by and takes a happy pill out of the candy dish*
Don't worry, Mad, even the titans occasionally double post and have malfunctioning HTML (I've heard rumors that it even happens to His Daveness and Her judiness). I think it has something to do with the atmosphere in here being about 35% tequila, but that's just my theory.
eadn - I've actually never gotten a chance to peruse a copy of the The Kama Sutra. I wonder if that will affect my kinky score...
*takes a seat on the couch and waits expectantly for Bangi to start her Kama Sutra tutorial*

Brat's ego creeps up on the REMOAT
psssst. Polly, great advice. I'm gonna leave
those other dullards back in the sack catching some
zzzzzz's.
joskr - was something funny? It must have been
those "others". They creep in every now and then,
who knows what they'll do. I'll try to warn you next
time so you won't waste any suds.
edan - At least a 6 pack. I don't really know.
Every time we try to count, some of us run away
and hide, so the count is always bogus. Hell, I don't care
I've got this time TO MYSELF.....WOOHOOO
MadSci - you are a sweetheart. A 6 pack for me!
I don't know if I should after all those margs,
but "a dog's gotta howl" every once in a while. thx.
AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*** Hey! How'd you get over here! Don't go bugging
the bloblits with your boozing and howling.
Oh man...whatUgottaComeOverHereAndBumMeOutFor. Can't an Ego
have a little fun once in a while.
NO! You have no regard for others. Next you'll be giving
Polly and Punky and the other bloglettes wolf whistles and
making a pest of yourself. Don't you recognize quality people when you see them?
I can't believe a little jerk like you would give the rest
of us a bad name. And furthermore........................
Brat's SuperEgo drags the ego away from the REMOAT kicking
and muttering
The REMOAT is again ruled by The Titans
Posted by: brat | August 09, 2004 at 06:40 PM
Night, night, MOATies. Me and bun-bun are off to bed. I had a long day of debauchery and now I must sleep. Thanks for the advice. I'm all for giant margaritas and Riverwalks.
Peri: I'll email you later.

Posted by: Graz | August 09, 2004 at 10:26 PM
S#!t, I'm late...but Happy birthday, Slowlayne!
Punky, I like the other pic.....looks to me like the same woman. Same mischief in the eyes.
Glad to see ya back, sweetie.
No happy pills for me....I'm nearly manic as it is....anything stronger than alcohol makes me unbearable........
And ya know what? I have overflowed this thing with typos.......and had one link that didn't work......but I have never double posted......
Now watch, I just jinxed myself.....
BTW, the Kama Sutra is a good read.....but it should be read like an assembly manual.....read.... find part in pile....place part in proper position as shown in figure.
That also means it is best when not a solo read.
Posted by: Graz | August 09, 2004 at 10:49 PM
G'morning, cow pokes!
That sounds dirty.
Posted by: Polly | August 10, 2004 at 03:30 AM
What's for breakfast today, Slowlayne? Hows about having our own little Boston Tea Party?
*Polly dumps a few crates of Chai tea in the moat for Fluffy. Fluffy groans appreciatively as the moat water changes from green to brown.*
Posted by: Polly | August 10, 2004 at 04:08 AM
Polly - you're up early for San Antonio time...
Or are you STILL up and haven't gotten to bed yet? Or if you have gotten to bed - what time are you going back to your room? (wink wink, nudge nudge)
Enjoy the Riverwalk - great place for people watching too!
Huevos Rancheros and mimosas are now being served on the Sun Deck...
Posted by: Higgy | August 10, 2004 at 04:18 AM
Thanks Graz. Long time no speak, hon. Miss ya.
Slowlayne ... hope the rest of your birthday was fabulous, dahling.
Polly, enjoy the riverwalk.
brat ... the world inside your head must be VERY entertaining. How fortunate for you, love. Can I visit from time to time?
Off to hop into the shower and then to work. Happy day everyone!
Posted by: punky brewster | August 10, 2004 at 04:49 AM
Higgy:
I'm an early riser. Sucks sometimes. (Like when you're on vacation and could sleep till noon if you want.)
Punky: Off to work with you. Don't forget your lunch. I put a PB and banana sandwich in there for you and little fruit snacks shaped like men's torsos.
Posted by: Polly | August 10, 2004 at 04:56 AM
Morning yall,
Thanks for all the nice birthday wishes.
Polly, for breakfast I'm just popping a few aspirin and licking the remnants of margarita salt-crust off my face. I don't think I could handle a donut right now.
Punky -Très fabu.
Joshkr - Nice job with "Dick isn't good but he's quick." Reminds me of an ex of mine.
Uuughh the keyboard is loud this morning!
Posted by: slowlayne | August 10, 2004 at 05:26 AM
Out of the office yesterday, and probably will be out the bulk of today. I tried to catch up on the ReMOAT, but just ended up skimming. I'm still around, but will probably be more of a Blurker than Blogger. But at least it's good to be busy when you're a sales rep . . . .
Have a great day, all. I'll be with you in spirit.

Good Morning Blog!!!
I have had the crappiest past 5 days at the office, but I'm here today!
A belated happy birthday to Slowlayne and Judi!
**grabs plate of Huevos Rancheros and a mimosa**
Now this is what I call high class service! Thanks Higgy.
By the way Lab, lovin' the Yahoo group. Lots of fun.
See you all in a bit!
Posted by: Brian B | August 10, 2004 at 05:30 AM
Slowlayne:
Here's a nice piece of lab candy. Mad made some for me a few nights back. That's guaranteed to take care of any headache, backache, broken bone ache, severed limb ache...etc. Just remember not to drive cuz the hallucinations can be a b@#ch.
Leetie:
You're chipper today.
*Polly dredges up a cup of MOAT tea and hands it to Leetie.*
Posted by: Polly | August 10, 2004 at 05:52 AM
Do you know, I've had the wrong address up. Polly, if you tried to email me earlier, it didn't happen. It should be good now, though.
What am I forgetting? *thinks* Oh yes, good morning. Can I have some candy and tea, please?
Posted by: Peri | August 10, 2004 at 06:01 AM
Hey all,
Blogging will be limited today and non-existent for Wednesday and Thursday. I've got to go to Little Rock, AR.
I know that you'll all miss me, but I'll be back.
Posted by: Brian B | August 10, 2004 at 06:09 AM
Mmmm, thanks Polly! Yes, feeling a bit better... still kinda in a funk though.
Say, did anybody here know that Doug Brockmeier was in a car accident last month? Staples in his head and everything. No wonder he hasn't been snagging milestone MOAT posts! Let's inundate his email address with well-wishes, shall we? If you're not a blurker, you know where to find it.
Posted by: Leetie | August 10, 2004 at 06:17 AM
Lol, Punky! Didja get some from him at least???
Posted by: Leetie | August 10, 2004 at 06:26 AM
He's a nice piece of ass, but you wouldn't want to live with him?
Posted by: Polly | August 10, 2004 at 06:34 AM
Punky - it means that while you have an active fantasy life, you're STILL rooted in reality...
Either that, or you were fantasizing about being Demi Moore again....rrreeeowwwr...
As with Brian B - I'm off to Denver for business. Y'all have fun and I'll check in sporadically...
Posted by: Higgy | August 10, 2004 at 06:35 AM
BELATED BIRTHDAY POEM
We're celebrating Slowlayne's natal day
Just how many have passed, he won't say
But he's quick and he's bright
and his rhyme's out of sight
So we're keeping him younger through play!
Posted by: jamester | August 10, 2004 at 06:38 AM
Whoops! Almost forgot...
*gives Slowlayne a smooch on the cheek*
Happy Birthday!
Posted by: Leetie | August 10, 2004 at 06:42 AM
Sorry moatie gangster Titans of old.(not in the sense of age, but more of great wisdom and strength and moral guidance)(giggle)
oh sorry again *wispers from here on out, so as not to cause Slowlayne any undue throbbing*
That sounded a little dirty too. Anyway, Happy belated Birthday Slowlayne and her Judiness!
oops. Damn. It's useless, please forgive me Slowlayne, I never was good at staying quiet.
*HEY!!! SOMEBODY TOSS OVER A HAPPY PILL AND BREWSTER!!* After the day I had yesterday I'm ready to do some damage.
Speaking of Brewster, Punky! - Welcome Home (I think you'll find all your toys returned to their rightful place and properly sterilized)
Mad- I keep meaning to ask, What's in those beekers down in the basement? And more importantly, may I try some?
Ah crapola. Looks as if I am actually going to have to workagain today.
Think fast Joshkr! *tosses unopened, but still ice cold beer back to someone who can enjoy it, and leaves Moat waiting for that happy pill to kick in* (the one someone will hopefully throw me, but I already left before posting, so I'm pulling a little Back to the Future action)

Put your Tom Cruise mask back on, Bangi... everything's OK.
Posted by: Leetie | August 10, 2004 at 06:49 AM
And yes I know I typed workagain as one word.
(the first part by itself just plain scares me)
Posted by: Mr.Fisher | August 10, 2004 at 06:54 AM
Jamester - thanks for the limerick. Even my parole officer laughed at that one.
Bangi - You mistook correctly. But I'm still up for some stalking and margaritas!
And Leetie - WooHoo! Thanks for da smooch. Can I show my mother? She'll feel much better about all this.
Posted by: slowlayne | August 10, 2004 at 07:01 AM
Speaking of pictures (and yes Bangi, you need to get a pic up soon.), sorry about the hockey pic on the Yahoo board. Not very detailed I know. I finally broke down and bought a digital camera. As soon as it gets here I'll post something a little better.
Also, if anyone is in the Little Rock area, I'll be stuck in a hotel room bored out of my gourd tommorow (Wednesday) night and available for dinner or something. Just email me.
Posted by: Brian B | August 10, 2004 at 07:15 AM
Punky, *rumages through basement belongings* Here! I still have the instructions. They have pictures, really good pictures and so I uh, um kept them to fill out the warranty card. Just let me know if you need any assisstance. Remember, I'm here to help.
Posted by: Mr.Fisher | August 10, 2004 at 07:17 AM
Just a note on a few interesting web sites should any of you logophiles be interested in bloviating your vocabulary or finding rhymes for the times.
Inditing on this blog may cause mental atriphication
But I will not be spanceled to their scabrous objurgation
With some there is opprobrium
Still others think these gubbins fun
But most just think that it is floccinaucinihilipilification.
Posted by: slowlayne | August 10, 2004 at 07:45 AM
Although I'm sure I used "floccinaucinihilipilification" catachrestically

Good afternoon. Back from a whirlwind 4 days in NC and NYC. Just thought I'd announce myself before walking out to lunch. Nothing new and/or exciting to say and/or comment upon.
Posted by: Boo Augustus | August 10, 2004 at 08:08 AM
slowlayne, you're limerick has caused much tripudiatiation and conjubilation among the clerisy of the reMOAT.

Aarg Ya MOATies!
Sorry to be away. RL stuff been REAL BAD lately. Happy B, slowlayne and Her Judiness! My sons B-day is today.
I'll see about getting over to the Yahoo site and czech it out.
Punky, glad you had a good trip.
Polly, I'm still trying to figure out that 3rd law thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, and WELCOME Brat and Peri!
Posted by: kibby F5 | August 10, 2004 at 08:45 AM
BigD,
Apparently the closest I can get is Barkada, AR. I don't see why they don't have fictional places on Mapquest. The directions to one of those would probably be just about as accurate.
Mapquest query: From Cincinnati to Neverland
First star on right and straight on until morning!
Thanks Mapquest that was real f^&*()^ing helpful!
As you can tell, I have issues with Mapquest.
Posted by: Brian B | August 10, 2004 at 08:52 AM
With you on that one Brian B. I swear Mapquest would want to get me out on the freeway just to go to the local store not 10 minutes away!
Posted by: eadn | August 10, 2004 at 09:01 AM
Kibby, hope all is well now.
Joshkr, huh?
Posted by: slowlayne | August 10, 2004 at 09:03 AM
I second that. Huh?
Posted by: Mr.Fisher | August 10, 2004 at 09:09 AM
Na, slowlayne, still a bit hairy. I'm trying to get it sorted out, but RL Boss is difficult. (That's work boss.)
Should WELCOME Susan of whom I haven't spoken. Get well!
Posted by: kibby F5 | August 10, 2004 at 09:09 AM
Welcome back, Elle. Glad you had a good time in Cali.
Peri: It appears Judi is still in a drunken stupid.
Slowlayne: Sweetie...I don't process words that contain more than three syllables. When I was young and my brains were soft, I thought that "high falutin'" talk was sophisticated. Now my mind is an old push lawn mower that you have to repeatedly pull a chain to start. And sometimes it just ain't worth the sweat...
Posted by: Polly | August 10, 2004 at 09:11 AM
Anybody wanna pull my chain and make me sweat?

LA Elle - I want to drink Ritas with you on the beach. Please get me out of this lab!!
Josh - its ok I'll give you my titan crown since html screw ups seem contagious. Oh and please pull my chain...
Slowlayne - You are a true marvel. Were you straight I would propose marriage today.
Bangi - Try Kama Sutra exercise I bet you like that better. And use Eadn as your partner.

You can push my mower any day, Layney. ((Hugs))

Hello again Kibby! And also everyone.
My hand has yet to be splinted, maybe this afternoon. I saw the xray yesterday, nice fracture, next to the healed one from two years ago. I also got pictures of my car. I am amazed all I got was the broken hand. (and no ticket! Or warning or anything. I am so amazed, my boss thought I'd at least get too fast for conditions or something.)
SlowLanyne, that limerick made my head hurt as well. I couldn't even begin to figure out the pronunciations. Guess I won't read it on the air!

Then I found out about the "restore" process and now my baby is germ free again! It recreates whatever you had on your pc as of a date you choose. Tonight I'll install a firewall.

I caught part of a Dr. Phil episode this weekend (heck, it could have been Firday night for all I know, time moves rather slow at home in NC) that featured a young lady who spent 5 years on an on-line romance (moved to be closer to him, backed out of an engagement with a liver preson, etc.) with a guy she never actually met. Dr. Phil's crack investigatory (is that the same as "investigative"?) team could not find the person she knew via the on-line relationship but did track down some guy married, with kids, living in a trailer, etc.
My point. No point. Just thought it was a little sad. That, and I suspect someone on here was that on-line person that could never be found. So fess up. Come on. The truth will set you free.
Posted by: Boo Augustus | August 10, 2004 at 10:02 AM
I vote "Graz" as the mystery on-line romantic interest.
I heard he fathered some on-line children...you can see them when you play "The Sims." (where do you think all those "sim" people come from?)
Posted by: Deon | August 10, 2004 at 10:06 AM
I must confess, folks... I've done the online dating thing. And I even had a guy I was chatting with for a while fly out to lovely Kenosha, WI to meet me. It was quite pleasant. No nasty surprises, though he liked me quite a lot more than I liked him.
Granted, I can see how people can get hoodwinked. This is why a webcam is a good idea. (That and it'll improve your kink score exponentially.)

No offense intended, and I don’t mean to create factions in our happy midst (mist?), but is the generalization about AOL users accurate? I find (by rigorous application of the scientific method) some evidence to support the thesis.

Joshkr, I have a perl script that basically does what your "select" statement above attempts to do. That's how I put together the file of slowlayne's limericks. Also how I put together the list of good band names.
Oh yeah, hi all. I've been away from my computer - on purpose, even.

Lab and Josh - Stop with the geek talk it is turning me on and I have blood samples to infect....
Posted by: MadScientist | August 10, 2004 at 10:41 AM
Mad, that sounds like a cool thing to be doing "... blood samples to infect...", cool. Not everyone gets to do that, on purpose that is.....

Thanks for the beer, Joshkr - glad to see that Val didn't drink all of it last night er this morning.
Great lines, slowlayne, and now I can cross item #9 off my list of lifetime goals "be mentioned in a poem with a foriegn disaster for which you have a strong alibi" - have a Belgian White Ale on me.
I have a friend who married a gal he met online, and so far it has worked out well (except for that one time she cooked and ate his dog, but that turned out to be a hilarious misunderstanding the likes of which you usually have to watch "Three's Company" to experience).
Not ALL AOL users are stupid. Some of them just have a fetish involving overpaying for bad internet service. Usually involves a large amount of Crisco and a poodle as well, if memory serves.
Cheers.

Peri - Some of us are missing a great career opportunity. (Bottom of the page)
(I sent this to Dave & Judi wayyy before the auditions were to be held …but did they use it? Nooooo.)

Josh - starting to be thought of? We have known for a long time who the jigalo of the blog is...
Kibby - Yeah it sounds more fun than it actually is. And believe me if your gonna get this virus you would rather catch it the fun way than in my lab. Ok my timer is annoyingly calling me back to the biosafety hood....

Christobol:
You crack me UP, man!!
You can pull my chain any time. Just make sure no poodles and Crisco are involved cuz that's just a little too freaky for this girl.
Mr Fisher:
Glad you had a nice Moat break. Take the Speedo off now, darlin', and get back to work.

I can't believe it! Not only do I have my own costume, with bells on, but I also have my own bladder on a stick. I graduated from the Guild with honors and am fully qualified to be a jester (or a King).

Hey Christobal (& folks), did you read some of the hate-mail and replies the guy presented on his page about the AOL virus?
Peri-with-bells-on. WBAGNFARB? Certainly makes for a curious mental image.
Geek-talk from the whore of the blog? whoa! talk about cognitive dissonance (or one really whacked fetish deserving of an ebay self-sale).
Posted by: Deon | August 10, 2004 at 11:09 AM
For Polly no Crisco and poodles
That left us scratching our noodles
But ol' Christobol
He just said "Y'all,
I'll take the whole kit and caboodle"

Bangi is a little tease!
Posted by: slowlayne | August 10, 2004 at 11:14 AM
Bangi/Mad/eadn - Rita was the one discussing Kegeling in meetings. I just said I'd never look around a meeting the same again. Also, I once received a b-day present that was a 'pop-up' kama sutra...use your imaginations.
slowlayne, happy b-day dude! Enjoy the 'rita's!
Susan - hope you heal up soon! I can sympathize, I dislocated my pinky a few weeks ago and it's still far from normal. You seem to have a lot of 'activity' around your ramparts! Do they make steel tipped industrial strength bras?
Punky - infidelity sucks. True story, the girl I've been seeing for the last few weeks got busted hitting on one of my best friends via text messages this weekend. While he, I, his girl, her and a few others were sitting at the same table. Now we didn't have any exclusive arrangement, but how tacky and rude can you get!
Gotta go, I'm still a little sick and need to try to get something done before staggering home and going to bed. I'll catch up with ya'll later.

Hey Polly, if you make it up my way, I'll pull your chain in person! ;-) (I'm in Austin, about 1 hour or so north of SA.) State Capital, cool new museum, self-professed Live Music Capital of the World and beautiful lakes! Come on up, you'll have a great time!
Sounds like you've got SA pretty covered. If your into amusement parks, Fiesta Texas out west on I-10 is very cool. And there's a great water park in New Braunfuls (30-45 minutes north on I-35,) called Schlitterbahn. A great place to go to beat the heat!
Posted by: Lee | August 10, 2004 at 11:21 AM
Lee- sorry about the confusion on the kegels. And yeah that is pretty damn tacky of her. Punky's right defintely her loss. Here's a little test tube of something to make you feel better. (((HUGS)))
Punky - does this mean I am going ot have to start paying for the time Joshkr spends under my lab coat?
Posted by: MadScientist | August 10, 2004 at 11:32 AM
As you can see from my email I am an AOL idiot. I've had this damn account for almost 10 years now. Here's brightness, I pay for my AOL account, I also have a broadband Fuse account that I pay for, and then run my AOL through that connection. Couple that with the other 3 accounts I have (one work, two more free service personal).
Bangi et al in the pinky club, can I join?
I broke my pinky and shattered the knuckle on my brother's head when we were younger (we get along much better now! Damn "boxer's break").
