Group hug for DDiva and Meditrina!

(((Diva & Med)))

[Meditrina]

Thanks, Wyo. That is the one article I have caught much flak over. It is very tongue in cheek, sarcastic, and the use of the word gay. But the wonderful woman who wrote it is openly homosexual, and if anyone has the right to use that term, it is her. So I left it in.

Oh, and I got my first advertiser verbally committed to sponsor the print launch! One down, 9 to go. Whooooo hoooooo!

[DeskDiva]

*sidles up to pete, batting her eyelashes*

I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to ignore you, Sweet Thing. And I am NOT throwing myself at anyone!

*pouts cutely*

[Wyo Cowboy]

diva, I loved Alexander's bad day book.

my friend calls his wife, "the beer counter."

that one's as good or better than the recollection specialist, I think.

[pete]

Would you like to?

[WriterDude]

Okay, I feel like I did back in college, when I stumbled back into my apartment to find my roommate having a party that would obviously go longer than I could, having gotten an early start and having gone as long as I could somewhere else already.

Congrats, JD! Good night, the rest of you. And if any of you stumble into my room before I wake in the morning, prepare to be chastised mounted impregnated yelled at before sunrise.

[Meditrina]

Ducky - I am all good. But I will always take the hugs.

The whole day was completely surreal. I kept calling my sister and saying, "you won't believe what happened now......." Punch drunk laughter.

[Siouxie]

Seriously...it was a great time. I was just in awe that I had met Dave earlier and took a picture. That was just icing on the cake.

[DeskDiva]

((((((Med))))))

THAT is also a THN-GVBD.

You didn't get hurt in the school bus crunch, I take it?

Thanks. I didn't say it to bring down the blog, tho. I need the company and the frivolity tonight. :-)

[Just Ducky]

WD, thanks! Sweet dreams!

*turns down volume so WD can sleep*

[pete]

Oh! Oh! Oh! I almost forgot. Tonight Karen Hughes was on "Criminal Minds" She wants to break up the team so she is playing the same role she played in last season's 24.

[Meditrina]

Dude, I can't hear ya over the tunes. Don't bogart the bong. And I think there's a blonde passed out in your bed. She threw up earlier, but she's probably good to go by now.

[Siouxie]

((((((Med)))))))))

*mixes up a pitcher of my special Kamikazes*

*pours one out for Med*

[Wyo Cowboy]

g'night, WD. nice to "see" you too!

[DeskDiva]

Wow, Sio - you met Dave AND had cake with icing? Now THAT's a good day! ;-)

Pete - sure. ;-)

*stumbles "accidentally" over dust on the blogroom floor*

Whoops!

[DeskDiva]

*SHOUTS TO BE HEARD OVER MUSIC*

HEY, WD!! GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN!!!!

[pete]

Is it Hayes or Hughes?

[Just Ducky]

pete, I saw Karen, too! She seems quite evil on CM. And underhanded, and sneaky, as well, trying to get Prentiss to help bring down Hotchner!

[Meditrina]

Uh, Diva - he's in bed with the drunk blonde girl. No worries.

[Meditrina]

Helen Hayes or Howard Hughes? Huh?

I'll take another kamikaze, Siouxie.

[Dr. Rickenstein]

*groans, tosses back last of his champagne* Actually, its Karen Hayes, Pete. Or Hayes-Buchanan if Hilary gets elected

[Wyo Cowboy]

... unless you happen to be the drunk blonde.

[Meditrina]

Ah, Sioux. You okay? Sioouuuuxxxxiiiieeee.......????

[judi]

did ya'll watch chloe on letterman?

[Just Ducky]

*snork* at Med!

It's Karen Hayes, pete.

[Dr. Rickenstein]

and a another double shot of Jack Daniels please Ms. Siouxie

[Wyo Cowboy]

my cat's still stuck in the window.

I'd get up and rescue her, but my beer's still cold, and I don't want it to get warm.

[Just Ducky]

judi! I missed Chloe--I was watching Leno! Did she tell any 24 secrets?

[DeskDiva]

Oh, judi! I didn't know she was on!!!!!! *pouts*

[Meditrina]

Priorities, Wyo. The cat will still be there when the beer is being digested.

Sorry, Judi. I'm watching 'Big Trouble in Little China'.

[DeskDiva]

*SNORK* @ Wyooooooo's lazy (if cute) a$$

[pete]

Hughes is President Bush's real live advisor.

[Wyo Cowboy]

sorry, judi, I gave up on tv before JR was shot.

still don't careknow who done it.

[Dr. Rickenstein]

Hell Wyo, my cat gets stuck in the door. Lets just say he's a healthy eater. Eats the catfood, dogfood, open the fridge and eats the people food. Once even looked at me and licked his lips. 23lbs to date. And yes he is a house cat

[Siouxie]

*pours another double shot of JB for the doc and kamikaze for Med*

sorry...had to tend to real life and stuff

judi - I missed that too!

[DeskDiva]

And here's a fine how'dyado as if my day ain't been crappy enough. Pete comes in, asks me to throw myself at him, and when I take him up on it *pfft!* he drops me flat on my fanny. :-(

Wyo and Dr. Rick, thank you both for being gentlemen.

*curls up quietly on the blogcouch*

*sniff*

[Wyo Cowboy]

just wonderin'

if the honey bees all disappear, and the ensuing famine has us all starving. should I eat the horses or the cat first?

[pete]

Thanks for the heads up about Chloe, Judi. One of the good things about being 2 hours behind you Easterners.

[DeskDiva]

Wyo - It was his sister-in-law Kristen (Sue-Ellen's sister). Now you know. :-)

[Meditrina]

For those of you dying to know but afraid to ask, the son's 13th birthday was a success. Mom gave him $$$, clothes and books. Per request, we went as a family to Dave and Buster's. Ate dinner, played games, then had ice cream at Coldstone.

Weird. We haven't been out as just the 4 of us since before D day. Very surreal.

We are waiting for his crush, Alexa, to respond about movies and burgers. The first first date. Oh, my.

[Siouxie]

Doc I meant Jack Daniels of course ;-)

Wyo..let the cat freeze...you've got beer to attend to!

[DeskDiva]

Hey, Sioux - got any more of that tequila? Preferably with the worm....

[pete]

Sorry, DD. I didn't mean to ignore you. Can we make up now?

[Meditrina]

Wyo - eat the cat. You'll need the horses for alternative transportation to compensate for bazillion dollar a gallon gasoline.

[Just Ducky]

How long will that cat be in the window?
(The one there, with the twitchy tail)
How long will that cat be in the window?
Until Wyo's done with his ale.

[Wyo Cowboy]

med, good thinkin'. my last fill-up cost me $94.

and I fill up at least once a week.

[Meditrina]

Snork, Ducky.

[DeskDiva]

*ahem* We? Looks to me like YOU got the makin' up to do! Any ideas...?

[Siouxie]

Med, sounds like a great time!!

*slides a shot of tekillya w/worm over to Diva*

[Dr. Rickenstein]

I ain't picky Sioux, will drink what ya give me. on another side note, I saw this over at the TV Without Pity site and thought it summed up CTU redshirts well.

"I liked Morris taking the one guy out. It is not saying much for CTU security when the guy who had his shoulder drilled 12 hours earlier is more effective at taking out bad guys with guns then the armed security folks."

sad but true

[Siouxie]

LOL Ducky!!

[Just Ducky]

Med, congratulations, you now are officially the mother of a teenager! Stock up on your favorite adult beverage, and make sure no one else can find them!

[DeskDiva]

Funny, Ducky!!! VERY funny!!

[pete]

Well, DD, we could go out and get a beer and I could apologize properly.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Ducky, You're (not your or yore), killin' me.

if I eat the cat, which is better, A1 or Heinz 57???

such questions are of great...

maybe not.

[Meditrina]

Ducky - I was considering adding a sharpie marker to the bar to mark the booze bottles. But the kid is too smart. And anyway, alcohol is the least of my worries these days. Sex, drugs, and C's on his report card are my hot buttons.

We are having a special request Jacka$$ party, just he and I, this weekend. "Honey, this is what you should never do, no matter how much alcohol you have consumed."

[Siouxie]

Well my friends ...it's been fun but 5:30 cums WAY too soon (talk about premature) and I must get my beautimous sleep. I'll leave the blogbar open so ya'll help yourselves.

Smooochies to all and sweet dreams.

[pete]

My laptop is dead and so I am I. Goodnight all!

[Siouxie]

nite nite...don't let the blog bugs bite!! (unless you like that)

[Meditrina]

Wyo - Tabasco. Then you can tell your friends you had hot p---y last night.

No, I can't believe I thought of that, much less blogged it.

*hangs head in shame*

Bartender? I'll have another one.

[Wyo Cowboy]

nite, Sioux. love ya.

[Just Ducky]

Med, sounds like fun!

Thanks, y'all! I hate to flap off when we're having so much fun, but the dancing and champagne after days of little sleep and much driving around the state of Arizona has worn me out! Gotta take Mom to the dr. for a checkup in the morning, so I'm saying goodnight. I'll pass along all the good wishes to the duckling, next time I speak with her.

Ddiva, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

Nighty-night! Sweet dreams, all!

[Wyo Cowboy]

;) med. maybe you've had enough.

(it was kinda funny, though.)

[Dr. Rickenstein]

Nite Siouxie. Sweet dreamage!

[Meditrina]

Yeah, in a sick, twisted, demented way.

I have never been able to hold my tequila. There was this one time, at band camp..............

But that's a story for another thread.

[DeskDiva]

Hee hee! I need those funnies, Folks.

Come on down to KC, pete. :) We have some great breweries. ;-)

[Dr. Rickenstein]

Night Ducky! Oh and H.Pence hit the game winning homer again tonight and is 7 for his last 7. Thank you Round Rock!

[Wyo Cowboy]

I'm done too, gone to free the cat.

y'all have a great evenin'. See ya 'gin soon.

[DeskDiva]

Night Siouxie, pete, Ducky and Wyooooooo!

Thanks for the fun. Y'all're the greatest.

*smooches each one in turn*

[KentuckyFilly]

(((DD)))...I got some tequila! *toasts* Here's to fire...
not the kind that ignites and burns down shantys...
but the kind that exictes...and brings down panties!

[KentuckyFilly]

[DeskDiva]

Hey, Filly!!! Good to see you. :)

((((KYF))))

[Dr. Rickenstein]

[KentuckyFilly]

Ooookay...didn't think it posted the first time...disregard first post, there's a misspelled word...blame the tekkila

[DeskDiva]

Heh, Doc. You got us right where you want us, looks like....all to yourself!! ;-)

[Dr. Rickenstein]

how ya doing tonight KYF? Hope things are well there.

[DeskDiva]

*shoots back a double tequila*

*sucks lime*

[Meditrina]

Nite all. Gotta get up to make the donutsget the kids to school on time. Thanks for the shooters and the laughter. Catch ya on the flip side.

*sets up espresso machine and coffee maker for mot*

[DeskDiva]

*squints from the sour lime*

Mmm. I know what you're thinkin'. And who says we're wearing any in the first place, Doc?

*ahem*

*blushes*

[DeskDiva]

Night, med. Happy belated birthday to the monsterteenager!!

[KentuckyFilly]

Yeah, things are okay, thx for askin, doc...how you holdin up, Diva?

[DeskDiva]

Hanging in here. It's been a rough night. Been cryin' a lot even though I didn't intend to let down at all until after the service tomorrow. I have a LOT of music to get through.

[KentuckyFilly]

sorry...I was a victim of the bot...y'all like my toast I take it ;-)

[KentuckyFilly]

ohhh...I'm so sorry for ya... ((((((((((DD)))))))))) that's a biiiig hug :-)

[DeskDiva]

We love your toast. ESPECIALLY Dr. Rick. ;-)

(((((((((((((KYF)))))))))))))

right back.

[DeskDiva]

By the way, I predict that tomorrow we will have multiple stories about sheep. The bot has made me type "baa" TWICE today....

[KentuckyFilly]

Mmmhmmm...I'll bet he does ;-) We used to have this one that we said while we did shots during the years I was stationed in Germany...that was part of it but unfortunately I can't remember the rest of it...

[Dr. Rickenstein]

well today involved Vermont nudists so how bad could sheep stories really be? Oh wait....shit

[Dr. Rickenstein]

my folks went to Germany on vacation for 2 weeks back in '95 and they havent been right since. I'm suprised you made it living there KYF. Must be the military training and such

[KentuckyFilly]

haha, probably...o' course, I'm sure it helped that I fit in with them...woohoo to German heritage, high liquor tolerance an' all!

[DeskDiva]

I ... am German through and through. My grandparents (on both sides) are from the Old Country.

This also explains why I burn and peel....

[Dr. Rickenstein]

a hearty woohoo back at ya. All I got was a mixed heritage of Scotish, Irish, and English which means that I hate myself all the damn time

[DeskDiva]

OTOH, I am a sheer disgrace to my uber-Deutsch family. I ... (oh, the shame!) ... do not ... (the HORROR!) ... like BEER.

*hangs head in self-loathing*

[KentuckyFilly]

as strange as it may sound, my likker-holdin' ability is one of the things that helped me net my hubby :-)

[Dr. Rickenstein]

BLASPHEMER!!!!! How have you not been ex-communicated from the German race yet? For shame DD! FOR SHAME!!!!!! lol

[Dr. Rickenstein]

and speaking of not being able to hold things....the Texas Legislature passed a bill that would make it mandatory for all business to allow people with IBS to have access to any restroom on their property, regardless of if its not for public use. My hard earned tax dollars being (....wait for it, wait for it.....) flushed down the toilet again.

[KentuckyFilly]

Hmmm...have you ever had REAL German beer? Muuuuch better than wussy American stuff

[Dr. Rickenstein]

My dad could put away a 12 pack and walk a straight line back then KYF, he said that after 1 1/2 German brews over there he was slobber drunk....needless to say he liked it a lot so I'm sure I would.

[DeskDiva]

*GROOOOOOOAN* at Dr. Rick. Oh. Soooo bad....

Yes, Filly, I have. Well, not German, per se, but good dark brews. Beer is just generally too bitter for my sweet tongue. ;-)

[KentuckyFilly]

Ohhhhh, yes...it's sooo good...'specially at the festivals, German festivals were so awesome! Those people know how to throw a block party!
