I just heard that there was another earthquake off the coast of Indonesia - an 8.2 - they're waiting to see if there's another tsunami - my brother's in Jakarta - I think I'll send him an e-mail.....

[slyeyes]

HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just tried to rent a car for next weekend when I drive down to Kentucky for a Mother/Daughter banquet that Meghan's sorority is having.

When I do that, I can usually get a car for about $50 for the weekend through Enterprises weekend rates. I do it to save wear and tear on my car since it's got over 100,000 miles. At those rates, it's worth it.

When I called today, I was told that Cavelier is $63.00 a day!!! I told them that was outrageous, they've never charged that much before.

They explained why -- It's Final Four Weekend. I'd been hearing that even hotels in the outlying areas are booked, but I didn't think how this was going to affect my travel out of town.

Guess I'd better break the news to the Saturn that she's making a road trip.

*dragging tired, sick, pregnant self into the MOAT*

*yaaaaaaaaaawn*

El - Got your latest email... I'll reply when I my brain is working enough to form coherant, witty replies. :) But thanks... it DID make me laugh, and snork, and do other delightful things short of spewing Big Red out my nose... ;) Hope your brother is AOK!

Everyone must forgive me if I don't reply to all the pertinent things I missed this weekend... I'm exhausted. No time to catch up now... Hope everyone had a fab long weekend!!!

[kibby F5™]

sly, have you considered driving to a place where you could pick up a rental at a decent rate? Sorta a "half way house" for rentals? I don't know how far you have to travel. You'd have to figure out a safe place to leave your Saturn too.

just a thought

[Joshkr]

Susan...Oh! Fine! I see how you are. Bump me to day two! Hmph! (Yay! I'll be able to hear it tomorrow!)

Also loved hearing Walking on Sunshine last night. My first crush was on Katrina.

*loves Sly's car a nice MOATer-oil-arita*

[slyeyes]

Kibby, good idea. Thanks

[Susan]

So much to get caught up on, and I'm only up to Sunday Morning.

Graz, happy belated birthday! You mentioned going somewhere wram? How was that? Never having been anywhere wram before...

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Yum. But maybe not the chocolate covered chicken.

The station being down, that is the second Friday in a row it's gone down, at the same time, 8:40pm. I'll have to keep an eye on it this Friday. I'm not sure what's causing it.

Yahoo chat, haven't used it. Tried it a while back and it wanted me to download something.

Books for a long weekend...didn't get to the library, but I found enough to read. Need something now, but I'll just have to find something at home to get through tonight.

Jeff, I'm glad to hear Jackie is doing better.

Mr.Fishair, I hope the Mrs. is doing well, didn't notice on my catching up.

Kaf, you have MINT creme eggs? *drool* I love the caramel ones, but mint sounds good.

*sigh*

As soon as I get almost caught up I need to leave. Oh just because I wanted a bit of a nap this afternoon...I got up waaaaaaaay too early.

[kibby F5™]

Susan Gilmore: Sweetcakes?

[kibby F5™]

or was itSusan Gilmore: Weekdays?

[Eleanor]

Susan - Joshkr said it was OK for me to download whatever it was to go into the Yahoo chat room and I did and so far I'm O. --zzzzzzzzzzzzxxxxxxxxxxxxxsSPLAT!

Just kidding!

No one has mentioned that today is Something On A Stick Day and I think if Joshkr goes to all the trouble to make these things up, the least we could do is mention it!

*going to get a Corn Dog when she goes to the Store*

[sandy beach]

Get me a popsicle while you're out, El. And a tampax with an applicator. And a roasted marshmallow--or a wienie would be okay too.

[Mike "Mad's Dork" Weasel]

Heh! Saturday Mad and I watched the riotously hilarious Alien Apocalypse. This baby had Mystery Science Theater written all over it. The best scenes were when the bugs would bite someone's head clean off. We practically fell off the couch laughing. If they replay that sucker, I recommend everyone watch it.

[sandy beach]

Oh yeah, Neo, thanks for reminding me. I want one of those, too.

[Joshkr]

Eleanor...actually I didn't make any of these holidays up. Not even Halloween :)

They were gathered from various websites such as this one. Bismuth found some awesome ones, too. And Neo also if I remember right (I'm sorry if I forgot anyone that helped).

Oh and MOATie Love Day on Sept 23 was inspired by the meeting of two very special bloglits. Who laugh when insects bite people's heads off. They're just like that.

[Jeff Meyerson]

Mike, I forgot to mention that we watched a lot (about half) of Alien Apocalypse too. Bruce Cmapbell has been in a lot of "classics" like this and the Evil Dead movies.

Kibby, it's Susan Gilmour.

El, I meant to mention Something On a Stick Day several times but forgot every damn time. It's hell getting old. And I didn't even get out to buy some meat on a stick from those guys on Broadway. Tomorrow's even better: Expulsion of the Demons of Bad Luck Festival.

Susan, Sandy sent Dave a link to Dog Condoms but he didn't use it.

"Do You Believe in Magic"

We saw the Lovin' Spoonful way back when.

Geezer bus about to leave. All aboard!

[Eleanor]

Get me a popsicle while you're out, El. And a tampax with an applicator. And a roasted marshmallow--or a wienie would be okay too.

Sorry sandy, you posted after I'd left! However - the good news is that as I walked into the store, directly in front of me was a shpping cart full to the top with Peeps - at 50% off! How could I pass up a bargain like that - and did you know they come in colors besides yellow - pink, and...Oh well, you can see the other colors when the shopping cart is delivered to your door!!

neo, thanks, but I'll pass on the squirrel! :)

[Eleanor]

I love caramel apples, Jeff - I just hate it when they ruin them by putting nuts on top of the caramel - and everyone knows it's the nuts that have the calories!
After all, doesn't the saying go, "A Caramel Apple a day, keeps the doctor away"! :)

[Eleanor]

*zips in eating a Cadbury Creme Egg that was 50% off at the store*
- how could I say no!

CCR - Who'll Stop the Rain? A subversive anti-Viet Nam war song!

Even though I am now zipping about, dial-up is still close enough in time for me to empathize with Jeff and all the other poor babies who have dial-up!

Jeff - it's even taking a few more seconds for my high speed to load! :)

*zips out to avoid being hit by a Caramel Apple*

[Zoodle]

I want to listen to Susan's station too.

Someone please tell me how to get there.

Thank you.

[slyeyes]

Zoodle, go here. Then click on "listen to Brave's football".

[Mad "about Weasel" Scientist]

Hi everyone.
Jeff-thanks for the heads up on the Alien Apocolypse. We also caught a bit of the other movie alien on board or something like that. Was a great laugh.

Waves to everyone and hopes to have time to play soon

Weasel-I'm ready to be on your stick... what? It is better for my diet then a corndog.

[ATG~*Transmogrified~*TAG]

If they have Squirrel on a Stick, are they going to make it into a 'Butterfinger BB's' type of thing, only it would be squirrel doots or something? I don't know.

Just a test: ~~~'~,~{@

[Susan]

*wandering in for a moment*

Hmmm...why is Kibby wondering about my sweetcakes?

Oh. weekdays.

Must have been the promo Mitch did. Yeah...that must be it.

He does say weekdays. Really.

On the loading, even with my high speed here, it can take a while, and sometimes I end up stopping the post, deleting what I wrote and refreshing to get my post to appear. On one of the other computers, I can't even get the page to load now, and that is still with high speed.

[insomniac]

back at work this week, and noon is lunch hour so no listening to radio from S.Carolina!

Jeff M. -never saw the Lovin' Spoonful ,but I did see John Sebastian when he opened for Steve Martin circa 1977.

sorry I led you, Eleanor ,down the blue-and-white, U of Ky. path.

I'm reading Straight Man by Richard Russo about an English professor in a decaying Pennsylvania town, best line so far: "..being promoted at (mythical school's name) was like being named the winner in a shit-eating contest"

[Eleanor]

*zips in*

I'm over it, insomniac -
GO ILLINOIS!!!!

How about it, insom - care to join me?

See y'all tomorrow!

[GAT ~Winefied~Tag]

Squirrel on a stick wbagnfarb. Did anyone say that already?
Also, I traded in my addiction to Cadbury eggs for Dove truffle eggs. *drools*
If you can find them, I highly recommend them.

[kibby F5™]

Has dialup at 28.8 and speed's fine for me. I don't mind.

*goes to shoot some squirrels while this posts*

[wolfie]

*whispers* bark um kibby. If you hit um direct they shred and you cant eat them.
*adjusts hair to cover redneck*

[kibby F5™]

BLAM!!!

[kibby F5™]

*looks at fluffy remants of ex-squirrel*

Direct hits with this here Howitzer's NOT going to work.

Need to do "air burst" and let the concussion get them.... yea, that's the trick!

*wonders what bark um means*

BARK! BARK! Na, only makes them chatter at me in discuss!

[kibby F5™]

Oh, here's the trick!

BARK! BARK!

See how the congregate?

BLAM!! ..... kaBLOOM!!

Ok, there you go. Two? Three? Go get em Wolfie!

[Susan]

Cadbury truffle eggs...yum. I also really like the Cadbury mini-eggs..the little candy covered ones.

I think I still have some.

Even with the nap earlier, 4:30 or whatever time the alarm started this morning was far far too long ago. Sleep awaits.

On the plus side, my daughter is out of school this week so I don't have to wake her up!

[wolfiedaredneckwannabe]

*hands kibby redneck dictionary*
*points to definition of barking*
*smax his hand for pointing to barking sound first.*

Barking *verb* to shoot with gun above target quarry so as to make their wee lil brains explode from the air concussion.

Bark um. (English translated from redneck chat speak.. bark um = bark them)

[steven]

For wolfie and kibby-skwerl recipes

[wolfie]

They forgot skwerl-sicles. My favorite frosty summertime treat.
And, it counts as something on a stick too.

[wolfie]

I like kibbying. Every time I do, it pauses at at a different moment in the reload. I get glimpses of days past. Just caught something about naked men in a closet. I might need to go find that closet.

[Joshkr]

ok, ok, fine...is it time to move???

Am I gonna have to play ringleader?

[Joshkr]

By executive order by right of having no rights

(Elle! Blog President? Where are you?)

I propose the MOATorture Chamber

[kibby F5™]

*gets out sticks and Mad's Liquid Nitrogen canister*

uuuh, Frozen Squirrel on a Stick!

[slyeyes]

Josh, The Moatorture Chamber would be good for a future time, but might be too close for right now since it's still March.

How about if we go one thread below this one. It only has 10 posts so far. The Moat Next Door

[Joshkr]

Sly...love that one!

New MOAT!

We can name it later...as soon as we come up with something involving the word beaver.

[neophyte]

*packs up stuff* dang, we're getting good at moving. *Heads over to The MOAT Next Door*

[Joshkr]

*Grabs Fluffy, Plisskin, and Pooky*

c'mon guys! Hey Pooky! No eating!

[slyeyes]

Hey, everyone!

We did a middle of the night move. (Did someone forget to pay the rent??)

Anyway, here are the Bread crumbs leading to the new Moat over --------------> there.

[RumorMill]

*Cancels lease*
*Stops paper*
*Forwards mail*
*Turns heat way down and checks to be sure windows are shut*

bbye MOAT-numberwhatever.

*Follows burly MOATmoving men pretty much where ever they lead me*

[kibby F5™]

*hitches Howitzer to Skeet Shooter, packs Slipe & Slide® with LN canister. Dry Ices Frozen Squirrel snacks and MOATers over to new digs*

Oh, mustn't forget my humility - in case Eleanor get's hold of it.

*returns, folds humility and puts into backpack*

MOATies come,
and MOATies go....

... and all things MOAT is irresistible!

[KibbysPenguinThong]

*sighs*
Left behind again.

[Eleanor]

*zips in*

*sees empty Moat*

echo, echo, echo

Wait for me guys!

*zips over to new Moat*

[Eleanor]

*zips back in*

*grabs kibby's penguin thong*

*zips out*

[KibbysPenguinThong]

[Crash]

*emerges from the shadows*

DAMN! They took the squirrels.
