So if one of the items you have to find is a clorine soaked leather bathing suit we know right where to go..

And the weather looks like it's going to be great! 85 degrees with a 30% chance of rain...and a 15% chance of electricity!

Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | November 02, 2005 at 01:25 PM

I have not forgotten!

And I'll be there, oomph, just as soon as--man, that was a heavy pumpkin--as soon as my fairy godmoth--OH MY GAWD! WHO LAID MOUSE TRAPS ALL OVER MY COTTAGE?! *sobbing*

I wanna go...I wanna go...I wanna go...I wanna go...I wanna go...I wanna go...I wanna go...I wanna go...I wanna go...I wanna go...

But I can't, because I live in Iowa (motto: only the cows have fun).

I just want to wish my brother Herald all the best! Herald is really a great guy and the best brother any guy could ever ask for. You're the best Herald!

Your bro,

A group of three nitwits from Atlanta is coming to our first Hunt since '92.

Posted by: BTarver | November 02, 2005 at 07:47 PM

Ha! They changed the font...

*snork*

Posted by: Crash | November 03, 2005 at 08:49 AM

Three nitwits from Atlanta? Are they hawt nitwits, and do they need a fourth nitwit?

Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | November 03, 2005 at 09:00 AM

SURPRISE!!!!

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 19, 2008 at 06:55 PM

Nice digs.

Posted by: Alfred | June 19, 2008 at 09:20 PM

Yeah, the lawn needs mowing and there's a slight draft, but I think he'll like it.

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 19, 2008 at 09:50 PM

(I understand he likes draft).

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 19, 2008 at 09:52 PM

horses?

Posted by: Alfred | June 20, 2008 at 03:10 AM

beer.

Posted by: Diva | June 20, 2008 at 11:11 AM

draft is tolerable, if that's all you've got

but we prefer these

Posted by: southerngirl | June 20, 2008 at 11:55 AM

Oh, my goodnes, sg, I don't know how we have managed to coexist on this blog. You're into the Barncleaner of Beers, and you don't even prefer it on tap.

Man, what we guys won't do for gorgeous ladies!

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 20, 2008 at 01:41 PM

*politely hands Blue the "s" he dropped*

Posted by: Diva | June 20, 2008 at 02:42 PM

Moving Day!?!

Posted by: slyeyes | June 20, 2008 at 10:07 PM

Happy Summer Solstice Day?

Posted by: OtheU(manity) | June 21, 2008 at 08:44 PM

Summer Solstice day. Which is why the moon is so bright lately...

Posted by: Alfred | June 21, 2008 at 09:11 PM

And why the days are so long!! (Let them stay like this forever, please!)

Diva, is that Blue's S in your hands?

Posted by: neophyte | June 23, 2008 at 01:04 AM

Not anymore, neo! I handed his "s" back to him on a platter.

Posted by: Diva | June 23, 2008 at 01:43 AM

*waves at sly* I almost missed you there! Did you remember to order the pizza and beer for the post-move party?

Posted by: Diva | June 23, 2008 at 01:49 AM

Ah, finally found my way back here (can't stand losing my wayback). For whatever reason, the old thread would just never load from my work PC lately, so I couldn't go there to get the link to here.

So, thanks, Div.

*Oops - hands Div an "a" on a stick*

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 23, 2008 at 12:00 PM

Oh, me either!! That machine was TERRIBLE trouble to lose. Um, by the way, have any of you seen Sherman lately? I seem to have ... um ... misplaced him.

Posted by: Mr. Peabody | June 23, 2008 at 12:02 PM

Well, you shouldn't have let him get so tanked.

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 23, 2008 at 01:44 PM

Hey there, Blue - are you telling me where to stick my "a?"

Posted by: Diva | June 23, 2008 at 04:12 PM

Blue, that is so cool.

Posted by: Alfred | June 23, 2008 at 06:25 PM

blue, hand over the keys, will ya?

i wanna drive!

you'll have to hold my beer again, tho ;)

Posted by: southerngirl | June 23, 2008 at 06:59 PM

After S Girl is my turn.... How do i fit into it?

Posted by: Alfred | June 23, 2008 at 08:35 PM

sg - not until you say the magic words: "Watch this!"

Diva, that's up to you, er, so to speak.

Alfred - very tightly.

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 24, 2008 at 07:43 AM

ok, blue

watch this!

Posted by: southerngirl | June 24, 2008 at 10:25 AM

Whoa - that's some strong beer I'm ~~guzzling~~ watching!

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 24, 2008 at 01:14 PM

*gets dizzy*

Posted by: Diva | June 24, 2008 at 01:19 PM

YAY, BLUE!!! Congratulations on your caption contest win! You stole my line, though, with your Gladiator comment. ;)

Posted by: Diva | June 24, 2008 at 04:22 PM

sorry 'bout the dizziness, but it was fun, wasn't it?

i'll take that beer now, blue

hey...!!!

*places hands on hips and taps foot, whilst glaring at blue*

what happened to my beer?!?

Posted by: southerngirl | June 24, 2008 at 05:39 PM

oh, and congrats!

Posted by: southerngirl | June 24, 2008 at 05:40 PM

Ah, thank you, sg (you, too, Diva). Er, you know those drugs that Dave referred to? Well .... he doesn't realize it, but it wasn't no illegal drug that aided my creativity in the contest. So I definitely have you to thank for your contribution to the cause.

I promise I'll make it up to you ;-)

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 24, 2008 at 06:21 PM

yay!

*is looking forward to it*

wait a minute...are you trying to distract me, and make me forget that you ~~guzzled~~ drank my beer?

Posted by: southerngirl | June 24, 2008 at 07:22 PM

I absolutely did not drink your beer!

I drank your Bud.

*hits the deck*

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 24, 2008 at 08:36 PM

*is dismayed and disappointed*

*takes back her birthday wishes for blue*

*knows that if TC were here, he'd toss my sack o' Ws™ at you*

*partly cuz he's got my back, but mostly cuz he just wants to be rid of them*

Posted by: southerngirl | June 24, 2008 at 10:16 PM

People hitting me.

That's the story of my life.

Posted by: the deck | June 24, 2008 at 10:19 PM

*apologizes for ~~gratuit~~ ~~grutati~~ unnecessary low blow during ~~celebri~~ ~~cerebeli~~ partying good time.*

*Tries to remember how old he is*

*rubs the deck with special soothing oils*

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 24, 2008 at 11:23 PM

gratuitous blowing during partying?!?!?!

I need to hang here more often.

Posted by: slyeyes | June 24, 2008 at 11:51 PM

yes, you do!

*attempts to hold on to sly, so she can't ~~escape~~ wander off*

*slips on oiled deck*

*lands in pudding pit*

Posted by: Alfred | July 13, 2008 at 05:21 AM

Not yet ... restin' up after 1,212 miles of drivin' ... might get to the flea market today, if the rain quits ... gotta walk, tho ... the stroll will do me good ...

Might find a spatula, or other kitchen "utensil" among the items for sale ... gotta start collectin' stuff for another FBOC ...

Posted by: OtheU(manity) | July 13, 2008 at 11:58 AM

Would be interesting. I know I would love a spatula from Albuquerque.

Posted by: Alfred | July 13, 2008 at 09:50 PM

Posted by: Alfred | July 15, 2008 at 04:37 AM

Insom, you must be hugging those of us who are wrong, because YOU cannot hug people incorrectly; all hugs from you are right.
