Getting pinched is a bad thing?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue+Yellow | March 17, 2008 at 11:01 AM
by this afternoon it may be.
it really depends on when you start drinking.
I'll buy if you fly.
Posted by: Mr.Fisher | March 17, 2008 at 11:15 AM
Happy St. Patty's Day!!

*loads catapult with green confetti and a couple Leprecauns*
PULL!
YAY!!! PARTY TIME!!!
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | March 17, 2008 at 12:46 PM
*wonders if F2 dressed up as a leprechaun*
*realizes he missed an "h" up there*
Not a problem, they don't mind.
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | March 17, 2008 at 12:48 PM
Happy St. Patty's day everyone!!
*puts out the special St. Pat. Blog Butter (TM thingy) complete with lubricating shamrocks*
Posted by: Mad Scientist Weasel | March 17, 2008 at 01:21 PM
and I don't mind adding that - The Lubricating Shamrocks, WBAGNFARB.
weird Tril - I forgot to wear my green bra today too. Good thing I remember to dye my Penguin thong.
Posted by: Mr.Fisher | March 17, 2008 at 01:51 PM
*wonders*
Are they self lubricating??
Posted by: Mrs. DDi Sparkly | March 17, 2008 at 02:34 PM
Time for Guinness!
Warning, NSFW, but there's no audio....
Posted by: Eleanor | March 17, 2008 at 03:11 PM
What on earth kind of audio would there be with that?
Posted by: Susan | March 17, 2008 at 03:43 PM
Maybe some woman screaming her brains out in pain, Susan? . o O
Posted by: MacDiva | March 17, 2008 at 04:40 PM
OK. HOW wrong is it when you read YOUR OWN POST of just seconds ago and your brain reads "screwing" for "screaming?" Gads.
Posted by: MacDiva | March 17, 2008 at 05:05 PM
Obviously Susan, there wouldn't be. But I just wanted people to know that it wasn't NSFW for that reason. :)
Posted by: Eleanor | March 17, 2008 at 05:50 PM
Uh, wow. Colorful top. Safe enough comment?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 17, 2008 at 06:23 PM
To quote Walter Matthau in A New Leaf:
"Don't let them out!"
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 17, 2008 at 06:38 PM
Jeff, if she does...
We're gonna need a bigger MOAT.
Posted by: Shamrock Siouxie | March 17, 2008 at 07:12 PM
its 9:30. i'm still at work. i missed out on corn beef and cabbage. *pouts*
Posted by: trillian | March 17, 2008 at 09:34 PM
this dilbert made me laugh... i have many colleagues like this, who would, if pressed, say i was like this (but in a much more witty and entertaining fashion).
Posted by: ins'o'mniac | March 17, 2008 at 09:59 PM
Aw, insom. I'm sure you get all the girls. We all want men with a sense of humor!!
Posted by: MacDiva | March 18, 2008 at 01:42 AM
Men? With a sense of humo(u)r?
You've come to the wrong place. We're all twisted. WAY PAST HUMO(U)R!
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | March 18, 2008 at 04:27 AM
(i should clarify that the 'dilbert' i linked to is not the one up there now, the one i linked to was about the soul-crushing negativity of colleagues and quite probably myself, the one up there now is about the unfortunateness of any woman dilbert chooses to date, which is not really relevant in my case as one particular woman was chosen to 'take one for the team' many years ago, and, as it were, take on all the unfortune upon herself. as for soul-crushing negativity...well, you're starting to feel it now, aren't you?)

Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 18, 2008 at 10:12 AM
here's something that will briefly illuminate the grim, soulless, darkness that is everyday life...
pictures of Kylie!
Posted by: insomniac | March 18, 2008 at 11:14 AM
Adorable, insom.
I did see the original link. Very funny.
Kibby - Twisted is better. Eleanor told me.
Posted by: Siouxie | March 18, 2008 at 11:59 AM
Balloons!
Adorable!
Twisted? Us?
Wooo!
Posted by: Susan | March 18, 2008 at 12:32 PM
Awwwww! Kylie! *is happy*
Posted by: neophyte | March 18, 2008 at 02:03 PM
Kylie is adorable Insom.
I'd like to have one of those. Not of my own mind you, I prefer the kind I can return.
Posted by: Mrs. DDi Sparkly | March 18, 2008 at 02:17 PM
Just too cute, insom.
We've always felt that way too, DDi.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 18, 2008 at 03:10 PM
Looks like the Midwest is getting soaked again. I hope no one here is under water.
It was a cold, raw, dreary day today but the rain hasn't quite started here yet. When it does we'll be wet (apparently) for a day and a half.
*gets water wings out*
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 18, 2008 at 06:06 PM
Glum and Blahs?!
Posted by: Crash | March 18, 2008 at 07:35 PM
*surfaces and removes mouthpiece*
I'm using it as an opportunity to work on my negative buoyancy for next week's dives in St. Thomas.
*resumes breathing compressed air and submerges*
Posted by: slyeyes | March 18, 2008 at 09:29 PM
Kibby - you are soooo right, and I wouldn't take any of y'all any other way!! *smooch!*
insom - Kylie is perfectly snugglable!! She's absolutely precious. Makes me want to grin BIG.
Posted by: Diva | March 18, 2008 at 09:48 PM
sly, you look pretty darn good going down under.
Posted by: Siouxie | March 18, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Ahh ... man .... sly's going to St. Tomas for diving ...
*majorily jealous*
Sat - Bright blue skies and in the '60s (f)
Mon to Wed ---- SNOW!!!
*tries to maintain positive buoyancy*
Who's got the Nekid Twister spinner!?

Posted by: Kibby F5™ | March 19, 2008 at 06:45 AM
sly, I see there has been 11 INCHES of rain since Monday in parts of Missouri!
WTFBBQ?!
Get out the wetsuit!
Here, they were off by about 12 hours as it didn't start raining until early this morning.
Thanks for the item, Kibby. Clarke's Childhood's End was a favorite book of mine.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 19, 2008 at 08:38 AM
Prague weather: snow

sly, I see there has been 11 INCHES of rain since Monday in parts of Missouri!
I'm gonna need a bigger boat.
Posted by: slyeyes | March 19, 2008 at 09:58 AM
sly, just equalize deeper!
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | March 19, 2008 at 10:10 AM
Well, there IS the whole "Diver's do it deeper" thing
Posted by: slyeyes | March 19, 2008 at 10:20 AM
"Nitrox divers do it longer"
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | March 19, 2008 at 12:07 PM
by the way..... I just noticed a boo boo. Please insert "neutral buoyancy" for "negative buoyancy" up there^. Hope I don't get those confused on my dive in Tortula next week.
Posted by: slyeyes | March 19, 2008 at 02:41 PM
Need a band aid (tm thingie) for your boo boo?
Posted by: Susan | March 19, 2008 at 04:44 PM
*hands Susan a ™*
Yes, the rain has been much, but we're seeing SUN in western MO this afternoon, darnit. I like the rain.
Posted by: Diva | March 19, 2008 at 06:01 PM
Mr. Fisher is temporarily at a different e-mail addy, which I don't want to print here. But he asked me to tell anyone that's in the b'ball tourney. So if you have a question for him re that, e-mail me and I'll give it to you.
Posted by: Eleanor | March 19, 2008 at 09:58 PM
We had sunshine while it snowed. Not often one gets to see snow shadows.
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | March 20, 2008 at 04:23 AM
Kibby has a 4 day weekend (spending 2 of them with F2) followed by a week-long installation trip to Germany. SO ...
MOATing may be sparadic until April Fools Day.
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | March 20, 2008 at 06:56 AM
FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!!!
And I'm hearing a bird chirping outside of my window. The temps are going to be in the high 60's, and sunny.
YAY!!!!
Kibby, can't wait to see more pics of F2.3.4.
Posted by: slyeyes | March 20, 2008 at 07:18 AM
A Fox News item that's not commonly heard.
"Is Your Vagina Depressed?"
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | March 20, 2008 at 07:47 AM
Good morning. The rain has finally stopped and the wind is coming. We won't get back to springlike weather until next week.
Kibby, that reminds me of the last episode of the funny Aliens in America.
They were doing a community theater production of Rent and at one point they introduced a middle aged accountant or dentist and said he'd played the lead in their last 4 productions. They showed pictures of him in costume in the various Playbills, the last of which was The Vagina Monologues!
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 20, 2008 at 08:00 AM
*zips in*
Have fun, kibby!
Posted by: Eleanor | March 20, 2008 at 10:14 AM
I guess what's funny to some people is just more sexist cr@p to others.
Posted by: Eleanor | March 20, 2008 at 10:19 AM
Just went out and picked up a couple dollar toys for F2. She'll be getting one of those wooden snakes which 'slithers' when you hold it by the tail.
}:-)
THIS is going to be FUN!
F22's already admitted that Daddy's the corrupting/twisted influence in the family .... glad to keep the trend going!
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | March 20, 2008 at 11:18 AM
*flings sly's scuba pants onto lab's lawn*
Sly, how many mils is your suit? I've a full body and shorty w/hood and at 5 mil; and a seperate shorty at 3 mil. I haven't gotten much use out of the 3 mil one.
Posted by: Kibby F5™ | March 20, 2008 at 11:21 AM
Snork, Jeff!!
"I've a full body and shorty w/hood...." Kibby - is it inappropriate to laugh uproariously at that statement, or will you be offended? :D
Also re: your 7:47 am question. Yes. Aren't they all?
Posted by: Diva | March 20, 2008 at 12:31 PM
I have a shorty that's a 3, but won't use it. I'll probably just use a long t-shirt.
Posted by: slyeyes | March 20, 2008 at 12:42 PM
I'll be on the East coast for the next week. I'll be back around April 1 as well.
Sly- 3 isn't much, but sounds better than a long T shirt. I mean T shirts don't stay very rigid. Wait what are we talking about again?
Posted by: Mad Scientist Weasel | March 20, 2008 at 02:39 PM
Happy First Day of Spring everybody! Ahhhh, spring.
Somewhere or another I read that today is also sweater day, in honor of Mr. Rogers.
*springs*
Posted by: neophyte | March 20, 2008 at 03:04 PM
UTERUS!
Posted by: Leetie | March 21, 2008 at 08:20 AM
Good morning. It's a little chilly for tossing pants today, if sunny.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 21, 2008 at 08:36 AM
"I've a full body and shorty w/hood...."
Ok. I read that as "shorty w/wood".
And having done so I shall now depart again to the laundry. And cry over my gutter brain.
Posted by: Crash | March 21, 2008 at 02:36 PM
"Surf City here I come..."
Sorry, Crash, sounds like a song to me.
Nice day out but the wind was blowing Jackie's hair straight back.

Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 21, 2008 at 02:44 PM
That happens when the wind blows.
Everyone raise your glass in memorial to a dead band. RIP, lil' kitty.
Posted by: Leetie | March 21, 2008 at 02:59 PM
Wha' happened?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 21, 2008 at 03:31 PM
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Are you SURE it's dead?
Have you done a cat scan?
(sorry. I'm at the airport, flight delay, martinis. Need I say more?)
Posted by: slyeyes | March 21, 2008 at 03:56 PM
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Either that, or somebody else called it quits. ;)
Posted by: Leetie | March 21, 2008 at 04:17 PM
But... but.... Cats have 9 lives! Maybe it'll recover?
*crosses fingers*
Posted by: neophyte | March 21, 2008 at 05:02 PM
I blame the drummer.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 21, 2008 at 06:04 PM
Or maybe it's just pinin' for the fjords?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 21, 2008 at 06:17 PM
Nupe. We're done. And it's OK. It's a significant burden lifted from my shoulders. And it's a good time for Burdon-lift in my life.
*spills the wine*
Posted by: Leetie | March 21, 2008 at 07:48 PM
bourbon lift? sounds good

were you the star of the movie?
Posted by: insomniac | March 22, 2008 at 12:47 PM
Did it really blow your mind?
Posted by: Susan | March 22, 2008 at 01:07 PM
yes.

RIP Little Kitty, indeed.
And a Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
Posted by: Kaffy In Disguise (With Glasses) | March 23, 2008 at 02:39 AM
Same to you, Kaf. What's new with you?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 23, 2008 at 09:03 AM
Hey Kaf, we saw scenes of your home town last night - we watched Peter Jackson's The Frighteners, which was partially filmed in CHristchurch.
It's certainly an extremely picturesque place.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 23, 2008 at 09:15 AM
more picturesque than mordor?
Posted by: insomniac | March 23, 2008 at 01:40 PM
Well, the cemetery and derelict hospital scenes would have fit right in.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 23, 2008 at 03:44 PM
Quiet weekend on the MOAT. I hope sly has made it to St. Thomas by now.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 24, 2008 at 07:59 AM
golfwidow is really funny this morning.
Posted by: trillian | March 24, 2008 at 10:43 AM
I'm here and as of a couple of hours ago, so is my luggage.
Obama's here, too.
Posted by: slyeyes channeling Eric | March 24, 2008 at 10:27 PM
Really?
Can you get a compromising picture of him?
;)
Have a great time.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 25, 2008 at 08:20 AM
*waves at sly* I'm JEALOUS!
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 02:31 PM
Boy, it's been quiet here.
Not so at work for me, though...we are finally back in the main studio...learning new stuff. The FM is operational, testing now...official sign on, next Tuesday.
Not an April Fool's joke either.
Posted by: Susan | March 25, 2008 at 09:18 PM
Susan - that's funny!
Posted by: Diva | March 25, 2008 at 11:29 PM
No time to Heinz. In Germany, cold, snowy and after werk //shudder\\ boring.
Had a GREAT time with F2! Photo's to be posted when I get a chance.
... back to the grind!
Posted by: kibby F5 | March 26, 2008 at 05:53 AM
I just saw Obama on TV - in "the Caribbean" - so sly wasn't kidding!
Glad you had fun, Kibby.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 26, 2008 at 08:50 AM
What!? Sly kid!? Gaaaaa....
Posted by: kibby F5 | March 26, 2008 at 09:11 AM
I'm down here in Caribbean paradise and I feel my ears burning. Since they aren't sunburned, I thought I'd better check in here and see what's going on in my absence. But I need to get going, Barack and I are diving Virgin Gorda today.
Posted by: slyeyes | March 26, 2008 at 09:31 AM
Jeffers! You should know better... Our beloved Sly would never kid about such a thing. Besides, everyone knows that the celebs, at least, those of the political variety ALWAYS wanna be where Slyeyes is!
Posted by: Mrs. DDi Sparkly | March 26, 2008 at 11:13 AM
*zips in*
Exactly, kibby. Why would anyone even think sly was kidding? :)
