Posted by: Suzy Q | August 31, 2006 at 08:25 PM
Suzy, ya hadda bring that up, didn't ya. Couldn't take the High Road. NOOOOO!
good girl.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 31, 2006 at 08:26 PM
No Suzy, kicking implies, I think, that you're using your feet.

Hey Wyo, glad you opened the beer. I'm in Carolina, so you're covered.

Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2006 at 08:40 PM
Sioux, yeah, I guess my "We're [edited for content]" comment a few days ago was a little too early.
Posted by: fudthe"phhhhhhhhhhhhhhbtErnesto"man | August 31, 2006 at 08:42 PM
Avid, does that mean I gotta quit drinkin'?
Siouxie, wasn't that special?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 31, 2006 at 08:42 PM
oops.
Posted by: fudthe"OopsMeanttoChangeMyNameBack"man | August 31, 2006 at 08:43 PM
No, Wyo, I meant you actually know someone in SC so drink up. And I want whatever Siouxie got!!
Posted by: AvidReader | August 31, 2006 at 08:45 PM
Avid, you don't, I'm sure, but... is the sc.rr address the one?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 31, 2006 at 08:46 PM
Siouxie, you dodged Ernesto, too, right? He's pretty much passed us by now. But I'm all for hunkering anyway.
Posted by: AvidReader | August 31, 2006 at 08:46 PM
Maybe I don't....
Posted by: AvidReader | August 31, 2006 at 08:47 PM
Okay, I give up! Yes! I want to see what you two are making faces about! And sc.rr. it is!
Posted by: AvidReader | August 31, 2006 at 08:49 PM
Too late, Avid.
good music too, eh Siouxie?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 31, 2006 at 08:49 PM
OK, if it actually does mean something (as opposed to being nonsense anyway), that makes the whole posting funnier. So here's my theory.
The South Africa Springboks (national rugby team) have a monkey on their back (a losing streak long enough to disgust a lot of fans to the point of lacking interest in the team). So they've got to kick the monkey off by beating the New Zealand All-Blacks (that one, I can't explain) on Saturday at the Phokeng field outside Rustenburg, which is a city with an airport 50 miles west of Johannesburg.
Now if that's not Phokeng interesting, I don't know what is.
Posted by: Avon | August 31, 2006 at 08:50 PM
somebody hand Avid the puke bucket.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 31, 2006 at 08:51 PM
Lol, Wyo! Where do you guys find this stuff? [whipping out lecture to give young women regarding self-respect]
Posted by: AvidReader | August 31, 2006 at 08:52 PM
good Phokeng point, Avon
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 31, 2006 at 08:53 PM
I'll continue to be a fan of any woman who can, uhhhm, "kick the monkey".
Gotta have sexy (or at least clean) feet, though.
Posted by: fudtheman | August 31, 2006 at 08:53 PM
And old women too, Avid, look at the older one in the background in white.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 31, 2006 at 08:54 PM
fud, good thing it did!
Avid, yeah we sure dodged Ernie!
I'm so tired of these mothaphokeng Hurricanes!!
Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2006 at 08:54 PM
Did someone say
Spank the Monkey
Posted by: Juggler of Geese™ | August 31, 2006 at 08:55 PM
LOL Wyo that picture was phokeng phugly!!!
and no I haven't heard the song yet...I will in a min
Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2006 at 08:56 PM
Yeah, Avon, it makes a lot more sense after the translation.
Wyo, I survived 10 years in southern California. No puke bucket needed; I built up an immunity you wouldn't believe.
Posted by: AvidReader | August 31, 2006 at 08:56 PM
so as not to appear exclusive, This is the disgussed (ing) picture
Be cautious.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 31, 2006 at 08:56 PM
She wouldn't have to kick the monkey. That little critter'd be long gone.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | August 31, 2006 at 08:59 PM
*snork* @ "mothaphokeng"!
And yeah, the older woman's thinking "Gee, I wish *I* looked like that.."
Posted by: AvidReader | August 31, 2006 at 08:59 PM
I think the sharply dressed older lady in the background must be related...apple doesn't fall too far from the tree...
*puke*
Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2006 at 08:59 PM

Thanks for your efforts for us Carolinians, Wyo...keep up the good work.
Tropical Hiccup "I Wanna Grow Up and Be a Carolina Hurricane If I Can Learn to Skate" Ernesto is bearing down on me, but we have plenty of beer, wine and spirits, though I don't have any Cheez-Its.

Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2006 at 09:17 PM
I had a box of Better Cheddars which I left at work, and I'm off until Sunday. I hope no one eats them before then unless it's a matter of survival.
Posted by: bookworm | August 31, 2006 at 09:17 PM
Sorry, I just kept overlooking that link [note to self: get some *sleep*]. Hit 224 on the 4th pass with a mouse. Y'all with the touchpads must be smoking that poor baby.
Posted by: AvidReader | August 31, 2006 at 09:18 PM
I made 208 mph. The congratulations sign would not go away, so I guess 208 is my limit.
Posted by: foggiest notion | August 31, 2006 at 09:18 PM
*cleans up after spanking the monkey*
What? I knocked some stuff off my desk!
Posted by: fudtheman | August 31, 2006 at 09:19 PM

Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2006 at 09:21 PM
I learned a little trick last year. Click on the hand and pull it straight down, as if you were pulling it off the picture. Move the mouse over to just under the monkey and then back on to the brown part. It shoule make the hand move really fast. that is how I did in the high 600's.
Posted by: Juggler of Geese™ | August 31, 2006 at 09:22 PM
429 here.
