given that I can cut myself washing knives in the sink, this could be one time that I won’t object to women being excluded from a ritual (well, I never wanted a bris either).
Ok Mr. Niven(alluding to my image of you that I made mention of in another post)I think I might have to step away from the computer because this for some reason is making me laugh way too much. And I don’t think I should be.
I am laughing too hard to type at the idea that anyone would imagine me looking like David Niven. Or that Dorothy Parker would have let me anywhere near her table. She was um, a “product of her culture,” so to speak. But a very funny one!
So I made the self described ‘crotchety’ old man laugh huh…well my day is complete.
However that image is in my head from your acerbic yet always elegant turn of a phrase..I wasn’t just pulling that Mr. N stuff outa thin air. Of course I also believe(but have no hard evidence)that everyone here must imagine that I no doubt look like Susan Hayward….when she was alive of course.
That’s really ok as I happen to like the fact that I don’t necessarily have to know what people here look like..after all as I said I do look like the undead Susan Hayward….and so far no one can prove otherwise…as for Niven well wasn’t he the one who did the ‘Swords of Navarone’..oh wait that was the ‘Guns of Navarone’…so he’d maybe be more into a Gun Dance?
Alas the good Claudia has nothing to fear from me-I bear not the slightest resemblance to her..well ok I really do have the same color eyes but I actually do have the Susan Hayward hair or a bit darker(when younger anyway). People were always trying to say I dyed my hair because my eyes were so dark but that was never my thing.
Mind if I pull up a stool and order a drink? I’m at work, it’s Monday, and the attorneys I work for are driving me bonkers! But I’ll admit, sometimes this place can be entertaining.
One of the attorneys asked me the other day to sign a petition for a republican judicial candidate. I started laughing so hard I couldn’t really answer. Luckily one of the other attorneys I work for explained to the first guy that I was not what you would call a supporter of republicans! (Yes, some attorneys practice the art of understatement). First guy was surprised. Second guy (a democrat) asked why he was so shocked. “Surely,” first guy asserted, “you knew she was too smart to be a republican!”
Thanks for the welcome! As my “nome de blog” indicates, I’m not a heavy poster on this or any blog, but I read a lot. And I will say that BT has become the place that feels the most like a blog home to me. So, thanks to everyone who has made this place so friendly!
Hello!! Nothing particularly special this evening… blogger and the im’s were down for awhile. I’ve never seen all my im’s down at once, odd. Anyone else notice anything funky?
:o) !!!
Makes me curious to know of the experiences that have so warped your mind in such a fashion as to allow the free flow of such hilarious concoctions LOL
Thank you for the best end of day laugh I’ve had in a while :o)
What a wild week I picked to introduce myself, eh? Seemed like the whole place went nuts almost immediately after. Cause and effect? I certainly hope not. 🙂 Anyway, it’s my day off… so of course I’m… working again. Ugh. Can’t get a day (or night) off in this place anymore. It’s snowing here in Philly and refineries hate cold weather even worse than I do. On the bright side, two weeks from today I’ll be in Jamaica… woohoo!!!
Probably won’t make it in tomorrow — slight detour on the spouse’s schedule change; he’s back on the damn 12-8 schedule tomorrow, but from then on will hopefully be on 7-3. So I’m taking advantage of having him home in the morning for us to go to IKEA and pick out our new bed frame, then we’ll have them deliver it by Friday so we can get our new mattress delivered Saturday (finally!). And I told him I’m going to treat myself to dinner out so I can eat earlier than 9pm, so he’ll do dinner for himself on the way home.
A late night during Holiday® Season as Gooserock is clearly too tightly wound.
Puget4 is decorating our microtree and setting up her Holiday® village, as Florida Mom supervises and watches Matthew Perry struggle to make his true love known.
The clock says it’s Jimmy Carter -1 hour, so it’s finally winding down time and Beer O’Clock!
Greetings to you members in the booman tribune community. I have been away for a while but thinking of you all. “Birds of the same feathers flock together.” Cheers.
Thanks for keeping the community cheerful.
I am pooped! But what fun this has been. You are the MOST entertaining group of nutballs, and I mean that in only the nicest way.
Now, I’m going to settle back with Marmotdue and Turtledude and. . .inhale.
See you Boodudes in the manana. Oh, who am I kidding? I’ll be back. As Buffy said to Dracula, “You allwaaays come back.”
Can you join Andi and me?
Ahhhh. (Putting feet up, leaning back, accepting drink.) Thank you.
and toddling off to bed.
Sweet dreams or snarky dreams or sweetly snarky dreams, your choice.
have fun!
I’ll second that..wait would that be second hand smoke then?
(check your email)
Thanks for a most excellent hosting gig today, Kansas. I had a really crappy day and the best part of it was hanging out with all you nutballs.

That is a lady who is doing the dance! 😀

Perhaps more of the Gregory Peck type? I myself am a ringer for Brad Pitt. 😉
This is the famous person I most closely resemble.
can I play?

about my appearance, but Security, stern step-son of the voice of prudence, stays my fingers.
I cannot imagine David Niven watching the sword dance. 😉

I think of you as more Claudia Cardinale than Susan Hayward, though.
And for instance, I think of Briannine as having waist-length red-gold hair and a very patrician nose.
Alas the good Claudia has nothing to fear from me-I bear not the slightest resemblance to her..well ok I really do have the same color eyes but I actually do have the Susan Hayward hair or a bit darker(when younger anyway). People were always trying to say I dyed my hair because my eyes were so dark but that was never my thing.
Hoh,
never thought I’d make it. All plum tuckered out after a long day. Gotta get up early.
I think I’ll follow Andi’s example.
Mind if I pull up a stool and order a drink? I’m at work, it’s Monday, and the attorneys I work for are driving me bonkers! But I’ll admit, sometimes this place can be entertaining.

Cheers, all!
Okay, so the quote was actually second guy talking to first guy. Confused? Yeah, well my excuse stands! I’m still at work and I work for lawyers!
Hey, it sounded funny in my head! I think I need another drink.
Either way you remain “too smart to be a republican”, and someones secure little republican world was knocked off it’s axis, if only for a moment :o)
This is the first time I’ve seen you here so let me welcome you :o)

Welcome, and btw, great Murrow quote!!!
I very much enjoyed Edward R. Murrow and the Birth of Broadcast Journalism by Bob Edwards
expect you’ve read it, but if not, I’d recommend

who all might have picked up Saddam’s hand signals on the Trial Show set today.
I can clear up the mystery. Here are the deciphered Saddam hand signals:
I hate my hair.
Send Zawa to do me some of those burgundy highlights like he did Zarq.
They look so cool.
One of the Blackwater guys can get him in.
That goofy looking one with the cheap Wal-Mart mask.
Just pinch his butt and he will know what to do.
:o) !!!

Would you like a hot toddy? I bought two,
What I’d like is a beer and a shot of tequila… nut since I’m at work, I suppose a toddy will do! Cheers!
Missed most of the fun…

About ready to head for bed shortly…

OMG the truth is finally being revealed. Gooserock is SANTA CLAUS.
