Can't wait for the story about the deformed bot mating with a chain saw.

Snork @ fivver.
And if Crinkly can find a mate, maybe there's hope....

Isn't a long neck the sign of a long....oh, forget it. You go, Crinkly!

If my recollection of Swan Lake is correct, that ugly duckling is in for a suprise. Not to be confused with the Ugly Duckling story where it turned out it was a swan. Oops, sorry for giving away the ending to The Ugly Duckling. If you haven't already read The Ugly Duckling, don't read past the first sentence.

"Hey. Could you help me out? I think I have a crick in my neck."
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlýff | December 14, 2007 at 10:49 AM
Med, I was thinking that too.
Scott, I also was thinking that he must give good neck. (that thing is ribbed).
ok...time to get my mind out of the gutter.

Nice to have some company around here, Mr. Hammie ;-)
(not gonna say it again..but I waved...back there somewhere). ok so I said it.
How's the little Ham doing?
Posted by: Siouxie | December 14, 2007 at 10:56 AM
Her name's Leda, right?
Posted by: Lairbo | December 14, 2007 at 10:58 AM
Not too bad. Surgery #2 is coming up on Tuesday and she's a bit nervous. Everything is healing OK, so things are pretty good, all things considered. Thanks for asking.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | December 14, 2007 at 11:00 AM
Today's my day off. I can either spend it cooking and cleaning for the party tonight
Or
Trying to keep up with Dave who has obviously ordered the venti at St@rbucks.
GO DAVE!

i'm sure he has a great personality.

Sometimes you just have to try a different lake.
Posted by: AreWeThereYet | December 14, 2007 at 11:09 AM
(((((((((Hammette))))))))) I hope she keeps getting better, Hammie.
sly, I had to hide the Cuban coffee this morning.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 14, 2007 at 11:10 AM
A second surgery, Hammie. Boo! :-( I hope all goes well! How old is the "Hamlet" if I may be so bold as to ask?
Posted by: DeskDiva | December 14, 2007 at 11:16 AM
"They are flying in and out together and we do hope they will become mates."
I, for one, cannot wait to see how this romance develops. Maybe if they had a Crinkly Cam, like on the Bocken??
Posted by: Siouxie | December 14, 2007 at 11:21 AM
So much for natural selection.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | December 14, 2007 at 11:38 AM
DD, she's 23 and ornery.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | December 14, 2007 at 11:52 AM
Hopefully, it won't be too painful.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | December 14, 2007 at 11:56 AM
Arewethere - Strangely, the watering holes all look the same, full of crooked necked honkers tryin' to mate. ;-)
Posted by: Meditrina | December 14, 2007 at 12:03 PM
Shouldn't her name be "TacitErn?"
Hammie - ornery is good for surgery. She'll be a cranky patient and have a fine recovery. If she's anything like her dad. ;p
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 14, 2007 at 12:10 PM
What is the job title of the person who watches them to see if they have become mates?
Make that "persons"; there must be a night shift, too, presumably with night-vision goggles among the supplies.
Posted by: Dan | December 14, 2007 at 12:14 PM
You asked, so.
What happens to shy guys (losers) not as fortunate as Crinkly?,a/>
Posted by: xlbjoker | December 14, 2007 at 12:15 PM
Dan, that would be "Loser".
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | December 14, 2007 at 12:15 PM

Good, Hammie - Annie's right. And give her lots of hugs for us!
Posted by: DeskDiva | December 14, 2007 at 12:26 PM
That was just one toke over the line, joker.
Posted by: DeskDiva | December 14, 2007 at 12:31 PM
*SMACKS joker*
I just had LUNCH!
*coughbarf*
Posted by: Siouxie | December 14, 2007 at 12:33 PM
Good one, joker. Don't let it happen again.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 14, 2007 at 12:36 PM
What a heartwarming story! Gives new hope to C students everywhere (no, wait, that was Bush's line when elected President)...uh...

Another one falls for the ol' "big adam's apple" myth.

Posted by: Siouxie | December 14, 2007 at 12:44 PM
Honk if you're straight.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 14, 2007 at 12:47 PM
Wow-no honking. I guess what's good for the goose is good for the goose.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 14, 2007 at 12:57 PM
I pre-honked
Posted by: Siouxie | December 14, 2007 at 01:02 PM
*Honk!!!*
Posted by: Crinkly | December 14, 2007 at 01:22 PM
Is that legal in Mijammi?
Who am I kidding. Of course it is.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 14, 2007 at 01:25 PM
Do you suppose Crinkly used a 'wing man'?
Posted by: ellie | December 14, 2007 at 01:27 PM
*hopes Crinkly's new friend is a straight female...for starters.*
Posted by: DeskDiva | December 14, 2007 at 01:31 PM
*snork* @ ellie!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 14, 2007 at 01:35 PM
*Snork* @ Ellie.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | December 14, 2007 at 01:42 PM
Diva, did you intend the pun?
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | December 14, 2007 at 01:43 PM
*adds a snork for Ellie*
*whacks the bot with the "holy severed leg"!*

Ladies and gents! give it up for "The Crooked Gizzards"
Posted by: Siouxie | December 14, 2007 at 02:49 PM
CJ - that's also known as 'golf.'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 14, 2007 at 02:50 PM
Jazzzzieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! we've missed you! even the bot.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 14, 2007 at 02:51 PM
Actually James, I'm not sure you can even spell anything correctly." Thuartpeatrick" is traditionally spelled with two Qs.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | December 14, 2007 at 02:51 PM
And, while you technically wrote "Three quarks for Muster Mark," only physicists and Ellie actually quote it.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | December 14, 2007 at 02:53 PM
Hey Edgar?? your pocket protector is showin'!
;-P
Posted by: Siouxie | December 14, 2007 at 02:57 PM
Siouxie - ain't he wearin' it awful low for a pocket protector?

hello lovelys ( and the guy's to) my mortgage banker is insisting I work.
I also wonder if you just stroked ol' Crinkly's head, his neck would straighten out.
Posted by: Jazzzz | December 14, 2007 at 03:06 PM
too
Posted by: Jazzzz | December 14, 2007 at 03:12 PM
now jazzz is wondering as he wanders. might be a song in there...
Posted by: crossgirl | December 14, 2007 at 03:48 PM
jazzz wandering... isn't that improvisation?
Posted by: Meditrina | December 14, 2007 at 03:50 PM
Hi, Jazzzzzzie!! :-) We can hit your mortgage banker at the same time we hit the bot, no questions asked. ;-)
Edgar - yes, I did. :-D

Layzee, I'm not sure what you just said but I'm purty sure I don't like the sound of it.
Posted by: blurk | December 14, 2007 at 04:21 PM
*SNORK* Layzee!!! It's a medical anomaly!
Posted by: DeskDiva | December 14, 2007 at 04:22 PM
