Posted by: amaranth | February 24, 2005 at 02:09 PM
First??do we care???
Posted by: julietine | February 24, 2005 at 02:09 PM
fifty-seventh?!?
Posted by: steved | February 24, 2005 at 02:09 PM
wow, first time going for a first (or something), and i simulpost with two other people. que neat!
Posted by: steved | February 24, 2005 at 02:11 PM
"but run along side and have to be nifty for 100 meters"? nifty???
Posted by: lollyk | February 24, 2005 at 02:11 PM
I care!
Posted by: amaranth | February 24, 2005 at 02:12 PM
amaranth,
how many??
Posted by: lollyk | February 24, 2005 at 02:14 PM
Found this when I was looking up that crab-stuffed goat recipe, or was it the "how to get rid of crabs after spending 'special' time with your goat"?
Neener... I'm still wondering about the "crab on a string" guys. How do you encourage your crab to run faster? Just what is that string tied to?
Posted by: Writer's Cramp | February 24, 2005 at 02:15 PM
i think i could only be nifty for fifty...
Posted by: insomniac | February 24, 2005 at 02:21 PM
lollyk,
I don't know...it was a stupid pun employed in junior high.
Crabs, I suppose, is a double entendre concerning personal hygiene/bitchy people.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was a tender 13 and many jokes were over my head.
btw, nice simulpost steved & julietine! pleased to share (dubious) honour...

"with the race on Easter Tuesday in Buccoo village being the most prestigious."
Nothing celebrates the true meaning of Easter more than goat and crab races.
. . .
Actually, now that I think of it, is it more bizarre than a mythical rabbit that lays chocolate eggs?
Posted by: powerhungry | February 24, 2005 at 02:24 PM
I missed something here ... (what else is new?) ...
Where's Pete Rose?
Oooooohhhh, I get it!
Pete rose off the toilet seat so he wouldn't get crabs, while hurrying to finish so he could watch the goat races ...
Posted by: Uncle Omar | February 24, 2005 at 02:26 PM
Pete rose off the toilet seat so he wouldn't get crabs
...or a Python Surprise.
Posted by: amaranth | February 24, 2005 at 02:36 PM
Once you've got pete rose on your toilet seat, not even Chlorox will get it off.
Posted by: horned frog | February 24, 2005 at 02:40 PM
amaranth - geez, tnx muchly, I fergot about them toilet snakes ... (didja ever wonder about plumbers who always have a snake in their tool box ...?)
[Ed. Note: All puns intended.]
Posted by: Uncle Omar | February 24, 2005 at 02:41 PM
Oh, if you're looking nifty, I'll bet at least a fifty.
You'll be the sweetest handler in the Easter Goat Race!
And afterwards place hunches
On crabs, win, place, or lunches
Spend 'C' notes on 'sea'food on Tobago today!

"Nifty over 100 meters"----that's a problem from Algebra class in high school I still have yet to solve. Does X=goat?

How do you submit a link anyway? See above

Looks friendly to me too!
Go get the rest of the gang, OK?

Hey, Pete Rose!!
What? Judi said to.....
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 16, 2006 at 10:04 PM
Loud boos are heard coming from San Diego at the mention of the name Pete Rose.
Posted by: Eleanor | November 16, 2006 at 10:11 PM
Booze? Did I hear booze???
......oh. boos.
Dang.

Snooz?
Who's snoozing?
Posted by: Eleanor | November 16, 2006 at 11:16 PM
I'm getting a little woozy.
Posted by: Bumble | November 16, 2006 at 11:16 PM
Is someone playing the blues?
Watching the news?
Taking a cruise?
Trying to peruse?
Let's just hope no one spews.
Posted by: sharon share-alike | November 16, 2006 at 11:19 PM
Hear the news? No clues? You lose. Just don't snooze on the booze cruise.
Posted by: KDF | November 16, 2006 at 11:26 PM
who would snooze on a
booze cruise? not kilties. as if...
please pass mojitos.
Posted by: southerngirl | November 16, 2006 at 11:35 PM
*applauds haikus*
Posted by: KDF | November 16, 2006 at 11:40 PM
Gawd I love you guys.
I was really tempted to craft a joke with the word "screws", but decided it would be too crass.
*listens to Foos*
Posted by: sharon share-alike | November 17, 2006 at 12:03 AM
Goodnight, all of yous.
Posted by: KDF | November 17, 2006 at 12:23 AM
In this world there are all kinds of views,
and you can adopt any you choose.
But heed kiltie clues;
then you cannot lose.
Life is better with them to amuse.
They like booze.
Not a very coherent poem, I grant you, but it’s high time I had a snooze. :-)
G’night!
Posted by: Bumble | November 17, 2006 at 12:27 AM
*pandemonium ensues*
G'night.

♬ Still dark, it makes me lose ♫
Sight of one of my new shoes
I will simply refuse
To wear two different hues
Gonna blow me a fuse
This really don't amuse

Good morning Kilties!
Do we have a theme for today? Is it Friday yet?
Posted by: Eleanor | November 17, 2006 at 09:39 AM
when Conan the B. dropped his trews
and showed to the girls massive thews
he thought they'd enthuse
with 'aahs' and some 'oohs'
but the smell just led to 'p-u' s!
mel gibson is now singin' the blues
for things he said under the booze
'it seems that my Muse
is a bigot' he rues
the day he blamed all on the Jews!
*is a limerick with one rhyme , a 'lamer-ick'?*
Posted by: insomniac | November 17, 2006 at 09:53 AM
Maybe a unick?

Vodka tonic? Absolut-ly.

*Feels so moronic*
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 17, 2006 at 11:09 AM
*snork*--reminds me of the second-best compliment a man has ever given me:
"Sharon, you have so much character you're positively runic!"
Happy pantless Friday, Kilties!! Can't wait for work to be done so I can get my kilt in a twist.
Posted by: sharon share-alike | November 17, 2006 at 11:11 AM
Twisted Kilts are all well and good (so I've heard), but the proper drink for the current rhyme chain would be a gin and tonic.
Posted by: Bumble | November 17, 2006 at 11:29 AM
Sharon, I always thought you were pun-ic.
*panics*
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 17, 2006 at 11:42 AM
Sorry to break form, but I need to inform you all that I have chocolate chocolate chip crepes in my refrigerator. And whipped cream. They go great with coffee.

Posted by: KDF | November 17, 2006 at 11:42 AM
I will take that as an invitationic.
Mmmmmm.....

I'm on it.
Posted by: Eleanor | November 17, 2006 at 12:23 PM
I think I'll write a sonnet.

Yes, please.
Posted by: KDF | November 17, 2006 at 03:15 PM
How would you like your drink chilled, Ms. KDF?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 17, 2006 at 03:20 PM
Rocks, no mice, please!
Posted by: KDF | November 17, 2006 at 03:25 PM
and if we're talkin margaritas, no salt, either.
thanks, Blue, i'll just chill my own drink...
Posted by: southerngirl | November 17, 2006 at 03:28 PM
Blue, I will be having nightmares about that by the way... PLEASE let it be an urban legend and not another sign of the apocalypse...
Posted by: KDF | November 17, 2006 at 03:31 PM
Yay! for something finally working out. I took El's advice and went ahead and ordered my shoes for the wedding online under the assumption that I could return them if they didn't fit. They fit! And they're just the right height for my dress, so I won't have to get it altered. The heels are a little higher than I'm used to wearing, but I'll deal. I don't have time to mess with getting the dress altered at this point. Thanks El! You've given me faith in shoe shopping; I'm probably the only woman on the planet who hates shoe shopping.
Posted by: Bumble | November 17, 2006 at 05:06 PM
I'm really happy for you Bumble! I'm glad it worked out!
Hooray!
Posted by: Eleanor | November 17, 2006 at 05:13 PM
How histrionic.
Sorry...I just got home and am still in the pun-ic phase of things.
Glad you don't have to eschew the shoes, Bumble.
.........Okay. I deserve to be punished for that one.
YAYYY!!! for fall break! No school for me for more than a week! WOO HOOOOOO!!
*chugs gin and tonic*
*goes catatonic*

Bumble, trust me on this one...you're not. :)
Posted by: southerngirl | November 17, 2006 at 05:32 PM
Yeah....what s-girl said. I don't even wear shoes.
I wear these.
You don't think they add to my "intimidation factor", do you?
Posted by: sharon share-alike | November 17, 2006 at 05:44 PM
Not at all sharon - why would you even ask that?
I did overhear 2 of your students talking though, and they said that seeing this on your desk gave them pause....;)
Posted by: Eleanor | November 17, 2006 at 06:12 PM
*snork* @ the image El just put in my head: sharon gone all Indiana Jonesy.
Posted by: Bumble | November 17, 2006 at 06:56 PM
It's been two hours now; where have all the kilties gone???
Posted by: Bumble | November 17, 2006 at 09:04 PM

Posted by: southerngirl | November 17, 2006 at 09:23 PM
trust me darlin - i am the very last person you should ask for help with calculus
Posted by: TCK | November 17, 2006 at 09:24 PM
i see the KILT has again drifted too close to a rift in the space/time continuum
Posted by: TCK | November 17, 2006 at 09:27 PM
i suspect it has somethin to do with blowin raspberries at mathematicians everywhere
Posted by: TCK | November 17, 2006 at 09:29 PM
I posted in the future again.
*cue eerie music*
TCK~ That's okay. I've got the important stuff (the stuff that will be graded) figured out. And as I said, I don't think I did anything wrong on the other either, but we'll see what my teacher has to say about it.
I've become one of those students other students loathe: I do my homework, talk to the teacher when I need help and get good grades. It's scary.

Waaaay too weird for me here right now, or in the future, as it was in the past, which could be tomorrow, for all we know...
*zips out* (Or am I already back?)
Posted by: Eleanor | November 17, 2006 at 09:36 PM
wow, my post came in above 2 of Bumble's posts which were there when I posted....
let's see where this lands...It's 6:37p.m. PST

Posted by: TCK | November 17, 2006 at 09:43 PM

Posted by: TCK | November 17, 2006 at 09:59 PM
*wonders if TCK ever saw "A Bug's Life"*
The clock's fine; everything other than those two posts of mine are in order. Those two just posted in the future for some reason, and now everything will come in order behind them until 10:15.
Posted by: Bumble | November 17, 2006 at 10:01 PM
nope - never say a bug's life
do the other bugs make fun of the male ladybugs?
Posted by: TCK | November 17, 2006 at 10:02 PM
i saw cars recently tho - me an my best bud went
it was excellent
Posted by: TCK | November 17, 2006 at 10:03 PM
bumble's last post hasn't happened yet.
and are there male ladybugs? guess there'd have to be, huh?
Posted by: southerngirl | November 17, 2006 at 10:11 PM
if there werent male ladybugs, who would the lady ladybugs talk about?
Posted by: TCK | November 17, 2006 at 10:14 PM
TCK~ Yes, they do. I haven't seen Cars yet, but it's on my to do list. If you liked that, check out some of the other Pixar stuff sometime. Toy Story, Bug's Life and Monsters Inc. were all quite good. Very funny.
I've got 'em all; you can come over and watch them with me. ;-)
Posted by: Bumble | November 17, 2006 at 10:14 PM
But there's still TCK. Yay!
*tackles TCK*
Wanna help me with my calculus? I'm not getting the answer in the back of the book, but I've checked my entry of the function and endpoints twice, so I've decided it's either the fault of Houghton Mifflin, Latorre or Texas Instruments. At any rate, I'm sure it can't possibly be my fault. :-)
Posted by: Bumble | November 17, 2006 at 10:15 PM
so, should i expect to be tackled any time now?
Posted by: TCK | November 17, 2006 at 10:15 PM
*finds the area under a graph*
There! Done with the homework I wanted to be done with tonight.
*smiles a sunny smile and blows a raspberry at mathematicians everywhere*
Posted by: Bumble | November 17, 2006 at 10:16 PM
i'd like that :)
but i've seen toy story and monsters - both are worth watchin over and over and over again - just ask my kids
Posted by: TCK | November 17, 2006 at 10:16 PM
Wow...I come back from dinner to find the kilt all akimbo. A twisted kilt, indeed.
*SNORK* @ El. I don't have the whip, but those really are my boots...chains and all.
psst...Bumble...I DO have an Indiana Jones brown leather hat, tho!!
*wonders what TC's been smokin' and if he'll share*
Posted by: sharon share-alike | November 17, 2006 at 10:19 PM
I know what Toto's smokin' because he shared it with me after our simul - excellent! Both!
private message to sharon - did you get the e-mail that I sent answering your e-mail? Just czeching.:)
