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....
Posted by: Meditrina | December 14, 2007 at 10:41 AM
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.

*reaches up and drags Siouxie back into 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.
Posted by: crossgirl | December 14, 2007 at 11:08 AM
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
loser

Posted by: xlbjoker | December 14, 2007 at 12:22 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.

Honk if you like crooked necks
Posted by: ellie | December 14, 2007 at 12:43 PM
*honker*
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"!*
Posted by: Siouxie | December 14, 2007 at 02:19 PM

Jazzzz is wandering and stuttering.
Posted by: CJrun | December 14, 2007 at 02:47 PM
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?

"Thuartpeatrick" is traditionally spelled with two Qs
*snork!*
You are one strange quark, Edgar. ;-)
Posted by: *three snorks and I'm out* ellie | December 14, 2007 at 03:02 PM
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

Posted by: Layzeeboy | December 14, 2007 at 04:11 PM
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

Posted by: Siouxie | December 14, 2007 at 05:07 PM
