the sheep won't stand a chance wit you, Susy Q.

[Wyo Cowboy]

It is a well known fact, that Wyoming was the first state in the union to offer women the right to vote.

It is seldom admitted that this was merely a plot to lure the fairer sex to the state.

sad, but true.

*picture sheep, leaping over the fence, yanked-back by the neighbor's kid, then sleeps anyway*

[Annie Where-but-here]

btw - almost forgot - Paris will get 23 days, not 45. Discuss.

[Moving to Wyoming]

WYOOOOOOOOo!! wrong SusyQ ;-)

[Wyo Cowboy]

methinks, perhaps, when considerin' Paris, a sheep might not be such a bad idea. (disease-wise, leastways)

both are great arguments for celibacy.

[Siouxie Moving to Wyoming]

better??

Annie, Paris will get 3 hrs jail time. You heard it here first.

[DeskDiva]

Not sad, Wyo - savvy.

*starts packing*

Nope - don't need those frilly curtains... definitely want those shoes and these boots... and then there are the costumes....

[Wyo Cowboy]

Once again, off topic. sorta.

we have an 18 month old cat. female, as yet not spayed. she's in heat. Right now, she's tryin' to get out of the house. she's got herself stuck between a partially open window and the screen. I'm thinkin' I should close the window, and leave here there for my wife to rescue later. Any suggestions?

[Wyo Cowboy]

sneaky Sioux.

no wonder I love you.

;)

[pete]

Wyo,
Could you mean heelers? Or are you looking for a vet? Or Oral Roberts?

[DeskDiva]

Yet again - I show up only to be ignored. :-(

*sniff*

[Siouxie Moving to Wyoming]

Sometimes I get mistaken for SuzyQ cuz of my email addy. (susyqe@hotmail.com). That's always been MY nick...I changed it here for obvious reasons.

[Wyo Cowboy]

[pete]

[DeskDiva]

*perks up a little*

Thanks, Wyo! You are a darling. :-)

*drops a curtsy*

I'm still thinking about moving up there....

[Dr. Rickenstein]

[pete]

I'm in the Nebraska panhandle, by Scottsbluff.

[DeskDiva]

Siouxie Qxie - I'll take anyone funny and smart. That's where it all begins. :-)

BTW - where'd the Doc run off to?

[Dr. Rickenstein]

Whats up there DD? You moving somewhere? K.C is lovely this time of year.

[Siouxie]

*pours a shot of Johnny Walker Blue Label for Joey*

best in the house!

[Just Ducky]

*Flaps in, feathers flying*

I'm back! The girl duckling officially has a Master of Science degree in Geological Sciences! Had great fun in AZ, but I'm a droopin' duck!

*pops cork on champagne*

Anyone care to share in a toast to the duckling?

[DeskDiva]

Speak of the devil and in he walks....

Whatcha up to tonight, Doc? You still in a, um, good mood over Jack's return next year? ;-)

[Wyo Cowboy]

I spent a year in Scottsbluff one summer.

1966

[Dr. Rickenstein]

No way, shape or form DD. I am kerput in the energy department. Hell of a way to start a weekend

[Siouxie]

Thanks pete! I'm the token "latina" on the blog...

Diva...I keep telling ya ...I'll do ya but Punkin will KILL ME!! ;-P

Dr. Rick - finish up and I'll serve ya another round quick like!

[DeskDiva]

Congratulations DUCKY!!!!

*flaps arms toasts with champagne in honor of the duckling*

Only planning to head off to Wyoming, Doc, where the men are men and the women are few and far between.

[pete]

That's been a while ago.

[Wyo Cowboy]

sincerely toast the duckling. well done as well, momma duck.

[Siouxie]

YAY for the Duckling!!

*pops open a bottle of DOM PERIGNON* (da good stuff)

[pete]

One of my old high school classmates lives in Thermopolis

[DeskDiva]

Well, Sio - you do fit the requirements I laid out. Can't fault you there. I'll make a refinement: MALE. Single and MALE.

Wyo - have a high school buddy who teaches extreme sports in Jackson Hole. I've always wanted to get up there to see him. I think I'd like it there.

[Dr. Rickenstein]

Siouxie, might as well just leave the bottle and keep the Mastercard Tinfoil card. It's the good Doc's Friday night. Might need quarters for the blog juke box as well. Feeling the need for some ZZ Top.

[Wyo Cowboy]

pete, I was back in Scottsbluff in '81, got smuggled into the girl's dorm at Platte Valley Bible College. That's a long story.

[Just Ducky]

Thanks, y'all! Wyo, thanks for the mention! Sometimes being the momma duck is a little tough. We're very proud of her accomplishments, though.

It was 105 in Tempe the day she graduated. First time I've been happy to attend an 8 am graduation, because it was still early enough when we finished to avoid expiring from heat exhaustion.

Siouxie, I LOVE Dom! Thanks!

[Siouxie]

Seriously, Ducky! Congratulations to your daughter. YOU must be SO proud!!!!!!

*gets up on the blog bar and dances*

[Wyo Cowboy]

ok, pete, who do you know in T'mop? I think I know just about everybody there.

[Just Ducky]

*flaps up and dances with Siouxie*

C'mon, y'all, there's plenty of room!

[Wyo Cowboy]

*hands Sioux another round to watch yet another dance.* ;)

[DeskDiva]

Hmmmm....Wyo - I think we all have time for a story. :-)

RP - y'up for a yak?

[pete]

Cindy Nuss. Her husband is Jon Nuss. Her maiden name was Bauer

[Siouxie]

You got it, Rick! ZZ top's "Legs" on the jukebox

[Dr. Rickenstein]

Ducky I would do ya the honor of a dance but you seem like a really great person and I wouldn't want to cripple ya with my 2 inverted feet....

[Siouxie]

Ok ladies...come up on the bar!!

[DeskDiva]

*tunes the blogradio to good latin station*

*refills tequila*

*hops up on the bar to dance*

[Just Ducky]

'S ok, Dr. R, c'mon up! I have wings and know how to use 'em! ;)

And thanks for the compliment!

[Dr. Rickenstein]

be there in a minute to yak DD. Tryin to work on a Astros ticket situation with their online purchase site.

[Wyo Cowboy]

some stories are better left untold. few, but some. suffice it to say that those who installed the downspouts did a good job.

[Siouxie]

LOL this reminds me of the time me and some friends went to Coyote Ugly. And no...I won't admit to getting on the bar to dance.

[Meditrina]

Hi, guys. Reconnecting tonight? Catching up with this thread was soooo long that my wireless had to reconnect too.

Sioux, I'll take a strong whatever you are pouring.

[DeskDiva]

Doesn't mean you didn't, Sio - just that you won't admit to it. ;-)

[Dr. Rickenstein]

your very welcome Ducky. I'm probably the only guy in this part of Houston who can't 2 step.

[Siouxie]

Latin music?? LATIN MUSIC??

*starts to SALSA and MERENGUE*

I's got piernas and ju no..I no HAO tu juse dem!

[pete]

I'm not sure getting into the girl's dorm at PVBC was a good thing. We used to say 90 percent of the girls in SB were good looking and the other 10 percent went to PVBC.

[Just Ducky]

Dr. R, how 'bout that Hunter Pence? You know we here in Austin have the Astros' triple A team, the Round Rock Express!

*continues dancing*

[DeskDiva]

*waves at Med*

Hiya, Lady!!! Come on up and dance!

(Even tho I really don't feel like it, I think it's doin' me a world o' good.)

Just look at Ducky shakin' those tail feathers!!

And come on, boys - it's a blogdance. Nobody can see your rhythm from here. ;-) Besides, if you come up, I'll even slow dance with ya.

[Siouxie]

Med! we're drinking some Dom in honour of the duckling's Master!! come join us up on the bar! we be dancing!

[Wyo Cowboy]

pete, Hmmmmmmmm, while I can't be sure, I think I know of whom you speak. My recollection specialistwife is not here to consult. still...

[Siouxie]

Diva how can you NOT feel like dancing?? man I LOVE to dance!

[Meditrina]

I just squished a green, ugly bug on my wall. Not sure if I am ready for dancing on the bar with Sioux.

But ya'll are right on about the bees. And between gasoline and the bee crisis, we all better hunker down for some serious inflation. And all you vegetarians better start implementing MEAT back into your diet. Steak, anyone?

[Dr. Rickenstein]

* Does something resembling the Bat Dance * "Big Game Hunter" looks like a spastic emu at the plate Ducky, but damn he can bring the swing...* breaks into the Curley shuffle *

[Siouxie]

I can even get up and dance by myself if the right song comes along...like the Macarena or the E-Slide LOL

[Just Ducky]

Woo-hoo, Dr. R!

[DeskDiva]

*snork* @ Wyo's "recollection specialist"

I have to remember that one. :-) Of course since I'm on meds that tamper with my short-term memory, I probably won't.

Sio - I used to hit a salsa bar every Friday and Saturday night when I was 19. I sooooo had a thing for a hot PR dude named Reuben. He played congas for the band. I could dance anything you asked me to at the time - merengue, cumbia, etc. Alas, my feet no longer remember the rhythms, but OH do I love the music!

[Meditrina]

And not to be Debbie Downer, but I have been trying to think of an adult beverage that is not produce-based. Holy $hit! CJ has my panties in a bunch over frickin' B's.

[Siouxie]

LOL doc! you be spazzing out! not too bad! Med...forget the bug and join us.

[Wyo Cowboy]

pete, for the most part, you were right about the girls at PVBC. The one I was after was visiting a friend who was a student there.

I later married the one I was after, btw. (26 years ago)

finest woman I ever met. When she heard I'd been smuggled in, she left me there to my own devices. fine woman, I tell you.

[Dr. Rickenstein]

* kicks it up a notch and breaks into the on-line eclectic slide * Haven't felt this good in a long time. WOOOHHOOOOO *cccccrrrrrraaaaAAACCCCKKKKKKKK* uhoh, that didn't feel right...

[Meditrina]

gives in and does the funky chicken duckling in honor of Ducky's Baby

Sioux, even Irish girls in KC can Macarena. Crank up the blogspeakers.

[Just Ducky]

Ju are such a fine dancer, Siouxie!

[DeskDiva]

Rock it, Doc, you SEXY thang, you!!! ;-) Whooo!!!

*psst* Sio - I went to Sonya's visitation today, which is why I really need this place AND the dancing. Tomorrow's the funeral, which I'm singing. Call me Alexander. It's going to be a Terrible, Horrible, No-Good Very Bad Day.

[pete]

I know the current president of PVBC quite well. In fact the name has changed, but I can't remember what the new name is.

[Dr. Rickenstein]

* falls to blog floor * arrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!! Damn floating rib fragments!

[Just Ducky]

You go, Med! Woo-hoo!

*joins in the funky duckling*

OK, blogbar dancers, time to Macarena! All together, now!

[Siouxie]

True story and I've said it here a few times. The first time I met The Blog was at this benefit dinner my friend took me to. The band started playing the Electric Slide and course most of the people there were old geezers and didn't move. I was DYING to get on the floor but didn't. It wasn't till Dave got up and started dancing...then everyone else joined in...including ME. Yes, I danced the Electric Slide next to The Blog. It's my claim to fame.

[DeskDiva]

*SNORK* @ the Doc's floating rib frags.

Ooh. I should soooo not laugh at that.

*snicker*

[DeskDiva]

Wooohooooo SIOUXIE!!!!!! You DANCED WITH THE BLOG!!!!!!

*drops to floor in worshipful awe*

[Siouxie]

((((((((Diva)))))))))

[Dr. Rickenstein]

so Siouxie,how good at the electric slide was The Blog?

[Meditrina]

*laughing out loud hysterically at pete and wyo trying to have a real conversation over the blogspeakers*

Diva - Call me if you need moral support. I can relate to Alexander. Had me a few of them.

ISIANMTU - But in a single day last week, my cell phone died, my cat got run over by a car (broken leg), MY car got hit by a school bus, and I quit my job cuz my boss is a psycho wenchbag.

Bwahahahaha. Chumba Wumba, baby.

[Wyo Cowboy]

tequila makes anyone a good dancer.

Med, as an aside, my daughter loves your magazine too. and she knows what she's talkin' about. She particularly loved the article on Servers vs. Bartenders as she's been there many, many time.

[pete]

Geeez, Diva, stop throwing yourself at all the guys.
.....and no I'm not hurt that you didn't throw yourself at me.

[Just Ducky]

Siouxie, you were rubbing elbows with His Daveness doing the Electric Slide? Could I have your autograph? ;)

Here, Dr. R, have some more champagne--you won't feel a thing!

[Siouxie]

Well not WITH the Blog...but next to him! and he's got rhythm for a white boy!! LOL
