Neo~ Oh my gosh. I can't believe it. What did you do? Button up right there? Make a dash for it, button up and come back? And how did you not feel that it was coming open? Wasn't it a bit drafty? {{{Neo}}} I've never had a judge prof, but I had a stupid lawyer prof. I would have been mortified if that had happened to me.
I had a somewhat similar experience that was more of at "close call" type of thing. I was sitting in a job interview, and the snap closure on the waistline of my pants popped. I was sooo afraid they were going to fall down when I stood up; they were loose as it was. Fortunately either the zipper or my sweater or something held them up long enough for me to get out of the manager's presence and fix it. And I got the job. :-)

neo, if it were during a trial you could at least say "I project!"
Posted by: insomniac | April 12, 2007 at 10:30 AM
insom, the judge'll probably be bound to recuse himself from any trial neo's involved in now.

Your honor, I move that we proceed to the discovery phase.

my skirt fell off me in class one time, when i was standin in the front of the room. it was slightly embarrassing, to say the least.

Oh, suuuuuuuure, sg, you "lost" your kilt, purely by accident.

what, kay, ya don't believe that?
and blue, i can't open that at work, so i don't know yet if you're in trouble. i'll get back to ya on that one...

I was singing in front of a very large audience once, and wearing a buttoned shirt. I took a deeeeeeeeeeep breath, and....
.....well. You get the picture.
And *SNORK!* @ you all!
Posted by: sharon share-alike | April 12, 2007 at 04:58 PM
*snork* @ everybody
*dashes off to get dressed*
Posted by: Bumble | April 12, 2007 at 05:35 PM
Bumble, I simply turned my back to him, buttoned up and turned back around. He was a gentleman and didn't mention it. Makes a better story if I forget to mention that part, let everybody think I sat there the whole conversation unbuttoned. ;) Oddly enough, I wasn't mortified and didn't even blush. (I blush at everything.)
I can't imagine accidental striptitude in front of a crowd. Southerngirl, Sharon, you've just given me more nightmare fodder. Thanks for that!
Posted by: neophyte | April 12, 2007 at 06:32 PM
For that matter, I can't imagine intentional striptitude in front of a crowd, either.

hey sharon...what are we lookin at?
Posted by: southerngirl | April 12, 2007 at 06:48 PM
ceilings...nothing more than ceilings...

Ceiling looks a bit bare.

Had a bomb scare near my work. At the local highschool. I have seen previous scares, was even in school when one happened. This one felt much scarier.
I think there is someone who really wants to scare police in Yakima. He is using the NEWS stations to make us scared. IT is unknown if he really has any reason to pull any real thing off.
Posted by: Alfred | April 12, 2007 at 07:58 PM
[While Sharon and Southerngirl are busy looking at the ceiling, a mysterious figure in a black cloak runs through and pants them both]
MUAHAHAHAHA!
Posted by: Mysterious Figure | April 12, 2007 at 08:08 PM

*looks up*
Oh.

Holy crap! The summer botany class I'm taking in second session to get a lab science credit is going to cost $845.90! Geez! It's not like they're having to order cuttings from the plant in "Little Shop of Horrors." Dr. Steldt told me they mostly take weeds from the school grounds. And that doesn't even include my textbook. What on earth can possibly cost so much???
Posted by: Bumble | April 12, 2007 at 09:59 PM
Well, hiya, Bumble! You weren't there when I started typing. I've noticed that when you tilt your head back to look up at the ceiling like that, your halo falls off.
Posted by: neophyte | April 12, 2007 at 10:00 PM
I know. I was holding on to it. :-D

Shoot. Too slow.
Posted by: Bumble | April 12, 2007 at 10:04 PM
Sounds like you were REALLY holding on to it. Good thing. 'Cause around here it'd just get used as a frisbee.

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 12, 2007 at 10:16 PM
Poor insom. Getting snorked at all the time.
Insom, I've been meaning to ask you for quite some time: do you have any unmarried brothers?
*blushes*

so neo's the culprit!!!
unless i'm missin somethin, which would explain my lack of understanding at blue's *snork* at insom...
(but i suspected it was neo, cuz i *groped* randomly as soon as i felt the draft from bein pantsless)

annoyinglovely earworm), but i just wondered...*dangles
halofrisbee in a tantalizing manner*♫ who wants it? ♫
Posted by: southerngirl | April 12, 2007 at 10:33 PM
S'girl, I'm not sure it's safe to ask "who wants it" while you're standing there in your unmentionables.
Posted by: neophyte | April 12, 2007 at 10:40 PM
(and btw, thanks for the grope!)
Posted by: neophyte | April 12, 2007 at 10:46 PM
Ha. I wasn't wearing any pants.
So neener!
*catches the halo-frisbee*
MAN this thing is beat up! I think we need a new one.
Posted by: sharon share-alike | April 12, 2007 at 10:48 PM
Good luck getting one. >;-)
Posted by: Bumble | April 12, 2007 at 11:01 PM
bumble, you're bein a smart@ss now, just sayin, and NTTAWWT ;)
and neo, why not? apparently it's just us gals here, and i can feel safe in my unmentionables around y'all, yes?
or, maybe not? ;)
besides, sharon's in her unmentionables too, so...
wait, does that make things safer, or even more dangerous?

How're things out west?
Posted by: Bumble | April 12, 2007 at 11:20 PM
Very busy and unfortunately in bloom
*goes in search of more advil and benadryl*
Also, not very exciting, except that my brother might come to visit me sometime this summer if my parents can find him a ride. And my dad's in India for April and is going back 4-5 more times by the end of july and I don't get to go :(
In sad news, my kitty died last week, but my brother was super-sweet about it. My phone was turned off all day because I'd been in class for 9 hours, so I didn't get my mom's message telling me, but he called to make sure I was doing okay and wasn't too sad. He's the cutest brother ever.
Posted by: Sarah J | April 12, 2007 at 11:30 PM
{{{Sarah}}}
I hope things start looking up. And your brother does sound awfully sweet.
It's good to see you. We miss you 'round here. :-)
Posted by: Bumble | April 12, 2007 at 11:33 PM
poor sarah's kitty :(
sorry, neo., i've got no brothers, married or not...
(two sisters, how else do you think i've got this extraordinary insight into women ? *chortlechortlechucklenort*)
and i don't think of it as *snork*ing with me, so much as *snork*ing at me.
(hey!)
Posted by: insomniac | April 13, 2007 at 12:16 AM
*chucklenort?*
NEW WORD!! Heeeeeee!
And I think insom just saw me in my unmentionables. Just sayin'.
{{sarah!!}} I'm so sorry about your kitty, and I'm glad you have such a wonderful brother.
Posted by: sharon share-alike | April 13, 2007 at 12:21 AM
how else do you think i've got this extraordinary insight into women?
uh, yeah...sure...
*snorks at or with insom, whichever he prefers*
and since it's friday, blog time, let me be the FIRST to toss my pants into/onto/under the kilt
nite kilties
Posted by: southerngirl | April 13, 2007 at 12:23 AM
Oh, and......
*gives Bumble a BIG little-sistah hug!*
.....What? Did you think I was going to flame you for THAT?? Nah...I know I lost my right to a halo a looooooooong time ago.
Posted by: sharon share-alike | April 13, 2007 at 12:23 AM
Aw, Sarah, I'm sorry about the kitty too. I know how hard it is to lose one. :(
Insomniac, no brothers? Well rats, is all I have to say. (Well rats are less vicious than ship rats, but soggier than run-of-the-mill rats.) Well rats and chucklenort.
Posted by: neophyte | April 13, 2007 at 12:30 AM
The kitty was 17 years old, had lost the ability to meow, had arthritis in his legs, and failing kidneys, and I'm glad he isn't suffering anymore. It's only sad because I was 5 when we got him.
I'm still wearing pants, it's not time for bed quite yet.
Posted by: Sarah J | April 13, 2007 at 12:31 AM
A halo of flames? Ask for Cherub.
Sarah- sorry about your cat. It seems you have a keeper of a brother though.

Hi, Guys.
Rotten, busy day here, so I can only stop by to give Sharon an honorable mention, and then I have to scoot. Or scat. Or something.
Cheers.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 13, 2007 at 11:58 AM

Why is "scat" singing nonsense syllables, anyway? You want the singer to hurry home? Or you think he or she is singing s***?
Dang. Now I'm craving jazz. (Not Jazzzz)

To add to the list of gross things eaten in Thailand (so far the list includes scorpions and rats)
"So in the US there's an expensive lizard that some people keep as pets called "tokay gecko." They get the name "tokay" from the sound that they make at night. Here, they're household pests. Thai people are scared to death of them, and they will bite if you're not careful. When we got home Tuesday night there was one on our outside gate. I caught it with an old shirt and put it in a bucket until Elder Tanachai got home. I asked him what we should do with it. He said we could skin it and keep the skin. I said, well, if we're going to kill it, we have to eat it too... So, I killed it with a knife, we skinned it, and then we deep-fried it with garlic and pepper. It was delicious, but there wasn't a whole lot of meat on it. The local members were shocked to hear what I had done, thought I don't know why, because they sell the lizards as food at the market. Hopefully the skin will dry out successfully so I can send it home. "
Also this week he sent a recipe for a Thai chicken curry soup, which he makes with whatever meat they get, not just chicken, even though there are a lot of chickens in the Issan region. It's really good, I made it yesterday.

Hey insom...want a glass of muscat?

Posted by: insomniac | April 13, 2007 at 08:53 PM
SarahJ- Your brother is quite brave. I never told my parents what I ate. My second week in, I am fairly certain it was dog that I ate.
The Tokay Gecko can be poisonous. Or thats the held belief anyway. They are a lot like rats, so it could just be what was around them.
Bumble- This is Red Dwarf.
I watched the show so much, I would quote it on my mission. Seattle has a huge following for the show. PAtrick Stewart hosted a Red Dwarf convention.
Posted by: Alfred | April 13, 2007 at 09:30 PM
Did you know you have to deal with people when you work retail? And that they're sometimes annoying or downright rude? Shocking. I didn't bargain for that kind of crap.

Greetings, Kiltheads. Today is expected to be a nice, if somewhat chilly, day here in the NE, that turns into a monsoon overnight where I live, and into a blizzard further north and east.

Blue - yes, I have always wanted to attempt to run it, but my right knee will not allow such silliness. It is an amazing event to watch live from the roadside, but now I plan to spectate the TV coverage, which will undoubtedly feature tours of the medical tent, as they're talking 40 degrees, freezing rain, and 50 mph windgusts.
