[Suzy Q]

That's a lot of Chinese takeout, right there.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

I can row a boat, canoe?

[padraig]

With all the sushi he must have eaten, why's he need a boat? Guy MUST have grown gills by now.

[Not My Usual Alias]

I am heartened that acquiring materials from the office for a decidedly home use is not a uniquely American condition.

[Meditrina]

He parks the boat in front of the house he built from the fortune cookies.

[Wench Lizzy]

I bet his chopsticks are bigger than other guys chopsticks.

[Philbert]

"ショウガのようなにおいがする"

I totally agree...I think...

[Brainy Jello]

"...two years of his life collecting 7,382 wood disposable chopsticks from his office cafeteria"

I bet the office assistant HATES this guy.

[Brainy Jello]

Annoyed that your spouse can't find a place to keep old exercise equipment? Be thankful s/he's not trying to store a full-scale "72,800-tonne replica of the battleship Yamato."

[oneblankspace]

Now try and make one out of sporks.

[gjd]

That's actually a really pretty canoe. (Sorry I'm not funny.)

[Meanie the Blue]

I don't care what the article did or didn't say, sake had to have been involved.

[pogo]

For American troops on Okinawa in 1945, this was the preferred view of the Yamoto

[Elon Weintraub]

Well it looks nice enough, but it would be really amusing if it springs a leak and sinks like a rock.

[ellie]

*wonders if he is from Ocanoewa*

[Wyo Cowboy]

I was tryin' to save enough beer-can pull-tabs to make a DeSoto, until some idiot invented the pop top. Thanks for nothin.

[jug]

S'ok Wyo, you can always use the beer can tabs as a hat band or an ornament for you rear view mirror.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Maybe I have enough to make a Geo.

[jug]

Beats the heck out of making a Yugo

[igloo]

Hah! The guy's a piker. I made 21,269 toothpicks outta my effort to make a dugout canoe back when I was in the Cub Scouts.

[Eleanor]

So even as a child you understood the importance of recycling. Very good. :)

[jug]

You counted them Igloo? I hope you at least got a badge for that.

[CJrun]

Another year or two and he'll have enough to make paddles!

Greetings from Englewood, FL, anchored out in a light breeze. Tomorrow, the Keys!

[sorry, folks that still have snow....]

[jug]

You lucky dog CJ.

[Wyo Cowboy]

our snow's almost all gone, CJ.

[jug]

We got ya beat Wyo. The snow's all gone here. Its about to be cold wet rainy season

[igloo]

Cj,
From what did you make your boat? Bottle caps?

[Larry Martell]

Welcome to Chinese Restaurant. please try your Nice Chinese Food With Chopsticks the traditional and typical of Chinese glonous history. and cultual.

[Siouxie]

CJ, I expect a "wave" as you pass me by on the way to the Keys!

[CJrun]

No, Sio; we have to pass through the Keys before we can turn left and head your way. We'll moon you on Wednesday or Thursday. Too bad it's tax season, or we could swing by and grab you for a meal and a beer! (?)

[Diva]

CJ, I'm so jealous!

Hope y'all didn't have too much fun without me while I was gone this weekend, but I so know better. =^)

[CJrun]

Oops, I also meant to say gunight. We got a late start, today. In order to make Marathon by tomorrow night, we need to be running as soon as the Sun comes up; Nytol!

[Siouxie]

Well hail, CJ! Stoopid tax season! If you happen to be around the Miami area during non-working hours, gimme a call! sheesh.

[jug]

Hiya Siouxie.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Sioooooooooooooouxxxxxxxxxxx!!!!!

I don' getta do that much.

[Siouxie]

Hey juggie!! How's it going this fine evening??

Wyoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! the best looking gramps I know! How's the littlest cowdude doing??? Mom? Dad? Gramma Dianne??

[Diva]

Wyoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug!

(had to be fair) ;-)

[Wyo Cowboy]

everybody's fine. We're headed south for a visit this weekend. (stoppin off first to see my sister, who collects micro brews in her fridge.) we'll probably get to see Jason. maybe...

[jug]

Well Siouxie, all in all I think its ok, or at least it will be. How are you doing?

[Siouxie]

YAY! road trip to see the newest cowdude! I expect pictures of my little nephew. I'll be the cool Cuban auntie and will teach him all the bad words in Spanish and well as the art of machete swinging. (When he's at least 3, of course)

heh ;-P

[jug]

The Spanish have swear words?

[Siouxie]

jug, everything ok??

I'm good. At least as good as I can be with my AC broken and the Miami weather topping at 450 degrees today. The AC guy couldn't make it till tomorrow morning so I'll be sleeping with a fan on top of my FACE all night..again. I'm not a nice person when I sweat and I'm not having a good time (iykwim aityd).

[Wyo Cowboy]

Blogbar is officially open.

[Siouxie]

Oh..We Cubans have a plethora of very colorful swear words. Very descriptive. I use them on a daily basis whilst driving in Miami traffic.

[Siouxie]

*jumps behind the blog bar*

what's everyone drinking tonight??

[jug]

There is a bump in the road, it will sort itself out (hopefully). I don't envy you with a broken a/c. And I will not conjure up images of a Sweaty Siouxie, because that might make me sweaty :)

The windows, ac, and sunroof are all broken on the coupe. Its a good thing it hasn't been warm here or I would be in big trouble

[Wyo Cowboy]

sure as hell ain't bud light.

[jug]

dadgum glitch! Can I have an Irish Whisky please Siouxie?

[Diva]

double trouble, jug?

[Wyo Cowboy]

Jameson? Powers? Midleton or Bushmills?

[jug]

I'm Irish, I am perennially troubled Diva.

[Siouxie]

*pours a double Jameson's..neat for juggie and another one for the Cowboy* (see iffin he likes it)

[jug]

MMM, Jameson. (Although tonight to change it up I am sipping Bushmills)

[Siouxie]

Drink up, boys..there's MORE where that came from.

[Diva]

I've heard that about you, jug!

[Siouxie]

Double simul there, jugs!

Time for a ===~~

[jug]

Heard about me? Oh?

[jug]

A double simul. Man, I just don't know how lucky I am

[Siouxie]

jug, what I do with bumps on the road is run over them and keep on going. No sense in letting them slow ya down. That's why *I* have a Florida Driver's License!

[jug]

I thought you had a Florida drivers license because you could breathe

[Diva]

Oh, indeed, jug! I have ears everywhere. *looks down shirt* Well, OK. Not EVERYwhere....

[Eleanor]

Hey jug, is that a diss at Siouxie?
She breathes, therefore she drives (in Florida). ;)

Siouxie, make me something special,OK? Por favor. Hey Wyo, I'm watching 100 Greatest Country videos. Last night I just saw the last 45 minutes. I love videos.

[Siouxie]

jug, that's just ONE of the requirements. The dead folks can vote but they don't do too good on the road. Too stiff.

[Siouxie]

hmm...

*mixes up a batch of her special Kamikazes for El*

Drink up, gf!

[jug]

Its nice to know you don't have ears *there* Diva.
No, El, that wasn't a dig at Siouxie. I fear the machete. Doc warned me.

[Eleanor]

Kamikaze! Yes, it's been that kind of a day for me. I need to relax - a lot. Is there a couch in here?

[jug]

There's a couch El, but Siouxie is hoggin the pillows

[jug]

[Eleanor]

I knew it wasn't jug, I was teasing you. ;) I know you are afraid of really like Siouxie. Annie told me. ;)

[jug]

Uh huh, suuure El. But hey, if Anniw told you it must be true.

[Siouxie]

jug, you are indeed a smart man ;-P

*downs a Kamikaze shot*

It's been a heck of a day for me too, El. I'm cranky cuz I'm hot.

[jug]

Siouxie, after clicking on some of your links, I would say hot is a perpetual state for you

[Eleanor]

She's Cuban, jug. How else would you expect her to be? ;)

What happened to Wyo? Did he leave without saying good night?

[Siouxie]

heh...thanks..I think. I blame the Cuban in me.

Anywhos...I am ready for bed and hopefully will sleep well.

(((((((((jug)))))))) hope you get past that bump!

(((((((El))))))))) muchos besos, amiga!

Sweet dreams all..

[Eleanor]

A simul with Siouxie! A perfect way to end the day.

*zips out*

[jug]

A hot Siouxie is not a bad thing, El.

Good night Siouxie. Sweet dreams, and don't let the fan get ya tonight.

[Just Ducky]

*Flaps in for a moment*

*Realizes CJ is bobbing around in the ocean, and Doc Rick is nowhere to be found*

Sports Alert:

Kansas has beaten Memphis in overtime, 75-68, to win the NCAA championship. Go Jayhawks!

This has been your Sports Alert.

*Flaps off to bed*

[Doc Rick]

Sorry Ducky. I was actually watching the game last night and since I had a small wager on Memphis, I decided bed was a better alternative than cryin' all night. Dang Memphis threw that game away. Bet they practice free throws for the next 7 months.

[Mot the Hoople]

Hi Doc, with your record of backing sports teams, remind me to never ask your advice before placeing a bet:-)

[Doc Rick]

Good idea Mot. I'm the kiss of death. Sort of like the Sports Illustrated cover jinx. Poor CJ is still ticked at me because I picked his Jacksonville Jaguars to go to the Super Bowl last year.

[Mot the Hoople]

I'm still ticked that the Broncos never made it to the post season.

[Doc Rick]

They kinda screwed up their team trying to compensate for passing teams instead of building a strong defensive front line. Plus they had 1 decent receiver and a second year QB but they'll get better. Uh oh, I probably just the Broncos now too. Dang!

[Mot the Hoople]

Do you know what happened to Jake the Snake?

[Doc Rick]

Got traded to Tampa Bay, got ticked off by it, and retired. Hasn't played since.

[Mot the Hoople]

Figures, you could never accuse him of being conventional.

[Doc Rick]

Nope. Heckuva college quarterback and a decent pro, but his brain had a tendency to check out in big situations. Still, he was a much better quarterback than David Carr ever was in the league.

[wickedwitch]

Doc, so if you could post your weekly picks during the regular season, we would appreciate it. that way when i'm on the fence on a particular game, i'll just pick opposite of whatever you choose. forget studying the stats, takes too much time and effort.

[Mot the Hoople]

The closest thing to a QB in rugby is the flyhalf, he always wears the number 10 jersey and is the first receiver behind the scrum. He dictates the game and has to be able to kick, pass and tackle. He often is the first line of defense when the opposing forwards (the big heavy guys) come roaring through with the ball.

[Doc Rick]

No problem WW. Next season I'll be more than happy to release my picks to y'all. If it works out really well I'll start one of those pay services where the guy screams about having a 98% winning percentage, but in reverse. I smell big bucks coming my way in a couple of years.

[Doc Rick]

Mot, with the limited amount of times I've watched rugby I'd noticed the Flyhalf, but didn't realize he always wore the #10. I still don't have a real clue as to what was going on but I did notice that one guy on both teams seemed to be the focal point. I guess I'm a little more worldly than I thought. Fascinating.

[Eleanor]

*zips in*™

Good morning all. Where's the coffee and the danish?

Also, it's after 10a.m. in FL and there are no new posts.

*wonders if Dave, judi and Gene are still celebrating* (or completely hung over) ;)

[Doc Rick]

I was wondering the same thing Eleanor. I always wondered how Pulitzer Prize winning authors celebrated. If I had to guess it involves massive amounts of beer and dueling oosiks.

[Meanie the Blue]

On behalf of Walter: Owwwww!!!

[Eleanor]

But what about us? Aren't we important too?

To paraphrase, if a column wins a Pulitzer and no one reads it, does it really exist?

judi? Dave? Bueller?

[Siouxie]

Morning!!

Stop whining people --------------> see??

[Eleanor]

Dave woke up~ ^
