New Movie - Squirrels on a plaque!

First?

[Stevie W]

"Humans can catch the disease through scratches, bites and coughs."

Reminds me of Nordstrom's sei-annual...oh, never mind.

Boo bubonic
Banana fanna pho phonic
Fee fie moe monic.

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

So I'll be hosting a masquerade ball tomorrow night...

[Boo Augustus]

Oh that's just great. Now I feel feverish. And fatigued. And I think I feel something painful and swollen in my groin area.

[Lucy Van Pelt]

Stevie, you seem to have had a traumatic experience at Nordstrom...

care to talk about it??

[queensbee]

ring out yer dead......'e's not quite dead........not dead yet...

[the world has a fivver]

And maybe we'll do
in a squirrel or two...

[artchick]

Meh, its actually relatively common around here. There's always a few cases every year, and at least it keeps the prairie dog population down! (when we were househunting I looked at a property that had a thriving prairie dog town on part of it, and the owner proudly told me how they had bounced back from being "plagued out" the previous year. He seemed surprised that I was less than thrilled)

[Stevie W]

Thanks, LVP...nothing a few cancelled credit cards won't fix.

[Mot the Hoople]

Better warn Mrs Hoople to leave the squirrels in my daughter's back yard alone.

[Suzy Q]

Plague? Cool! I just love it when people get diseases that basically cause their bodies to melt.

[Siouxie]

Me too, Suzy!

Maybe Stephen King could write a book about it, huh??

[Hammond Rye]

"Headquarters, I believe have located the secret squirrel chemical munitons factory in Colorado. I suggest a surgical nuclear strike on Malibu."

"Umm, isn't Malibu in California?"

"Yes. Paris is having a party there this weekend."

[Eleanor]

*zips in*™

It appears that everything Dave has been warning us about is starting to come true -
Squirrel Armageddon!

Paging Bruce Willis, paging Bruce Willis...

[Siouxie]

YIPPEEEIIIAAAA M&@%$% F*#@&S!!!!

[Joe]

Just like those rude squirrels not to cover their mouths when they cough.

[crossgirl]

makes mental note to not scratch, bite or cough on squirrels.

[CJrun]

I blame Boris and Natasha!

[Federal Duck]

Since plague was rediscovered in the Colorado in 1957, state health officials said there have been 58 human cases, with nine of those cases being fatal.

*at the pearly gates*

"So, how did you go?"

"The usual."

"Plague-infested squirrel?"

"Yup."

[Meanie the Blue]

I blame Daylight Savings Time.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Plaque - what's the big deal? Just tell the squirrels to floss more.

[From another world]

As always I blame Al Gore. He has always been a tad squirrely.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Tancredo is very frightened. He is building a wall around the city.

[Annie Where-but-here]

...and when he's done building his wall, we'll make sure to lock it from the outside.

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

Plague-infected squirrels are NOT Good Eats™.

[Tatoo]

THE PLAGUE!!! THE PLAGUE!!!

[billinbossier]

Self sacrificing terroist squirrels?

[Annie Where-but-here]

dpc - agreed, but perhaps a good theme for the latest Japanese theme restaurant?

[Edgar Greenberg]

Plague Invested Sushi Castle?

[Gadfly]

"Since plague was rediscovered in the Colorado in 1957,"

we don't have this problem in the Nevada

[a different dave]

OFF TOPIC:
I read yesterday that the guy who wrote the Monster Mash passed away at age 69. RIP. I'm sure he'll be a graveyard smash. Maybe he can get into one of those celebrity graveyards, where the people are all just dying to get in there.
End of off topic.

[WriterDude]

Greetings from In The Colorado. I'll be under at my desk if anyone needs me.

OT Anyone remember the time-waster game Dave posted on the 11th? It was called Boomshine. I have become so ridiculously adicted that I just 86th out of over 500 submitted scores. That's why I'm never here when the fun people are. end OT.

[Annie Where-but-here]

bali - that and because your cat pees in your divebag. :)

[Annie Where-but-here]

bali - that and because your cat pees in your divebag. :)

[Annie Where-but-here]

not my fault - the cat peed on it a couple of times.
*stupid bot/cat*

[baligurl]

*renaming the cat "bot"*

[Siouxie]

so where ARE the fun people, bali?

[a different dave]

Cart hauler:
Bring out yer dead!
Bring out yer dead!...
Limp guy:
I'm not quite dead yet...
Guy hauling the limp guy:
Yeah, but 'e ate a squirrel, so 'ees as good as gone, and yer not coming back again until next Thursday! Can't ya do SOMEthing??
Cart hauler: THUNK.

[baligurl]

Well, I guess my being here tells you I've run them off again. Except you, of course, because you're being nice to me. Mojito?

[Siouxie]

I'd love one!! or 5 ;-)

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

So the blogbar is now open?
Excelent!

[baligurl]

Well then! It's Friday, what say we fire up the blogbar early? *fetches fresh mint and limes*

[Siouxie]

uh...we may have to stay here for a bit. I just barfed on another thread.

[Lonesome George]

...Listen right here.
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer.

[baligurl]

On it, Lonesome. Poor Siouxie, have a seven up. For now ...

[LaFlamme]

That's just nuts.

[DeskDiva]

OK. *breaks out the beer wench costume*

*oops - that's Punkin's! Here's mine.

That's 5 blogojitos for Siouxie (sorry, Babe - we're out of mo), a bourbon, a scotch and a beer for handsome Lonesome over there, and a bowl of nuts for LaFlamme. Anyone else need anything right now?

[Hammond Rye]

Single malt scotch, please!

Nice costume, wench!

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

Do stewardesses flight attendants still offer
"coffee, tea or me"?

Do bar maids?

[crossgirl]

ooooooooh, someone say blogojito?!!?

[Hammond Rye]

Just out of curiosity, who closes the blogbar and why?

[Siouxie]

*jumps over blog bar*

*trips and falls on butt*

oww

*hic* guess I've had toooooooo mucho!!

[GungaDan]

Congrats Baligurl! 87 is awesome. (I can't break 300 Pt's. mark)

[DeskDiva]

Thanks, Hammie!

*passes round a nice single malt*

And, uh, DPC - No. For barmaids it's "beer, wine or me?" So...what'll it be?

[DeskDiva]

Oops, cg! Nearly forgot your 'jito.

*slides it neatly down the bar*
