My youngest son has an interesting theory about Lost. He thinks everyone is dead – kinda like Sixth Sense. That’s why they see things. That’s why Locke was cured and doesn’t need his wheelchair anymore.
No, they have to resolve the issues. Hey, he’s only 16 whaddya expect? To be honest I don’t think the writers have any idea either. It’s like they write one episode at a time.
I think all men by a certain age reflexively run for cover at certain times. I won’t bite your head off. But I may try to eat it if it looks at all like chocolate.
Actually I think Lost is the only network show I watch. I usually like some shows on Discovery, TLC, History Channel, Food Channel, Turner Classic Movies and PBS.
C’mon, vampires are way more interesting than models. They’re all bite-y and stuff. And have the mad ninja skills. Jittery, cadaverous, and insatiably hungry meat puppets can’t hold a candle to…wait a minute…
Google claims this is a Flaming Coyote. I have no idea what’s in it but it looks wicked cool, so I thought I’d serve you one up to try to take the edge off your bad day.
How kind of you, Olivia. It certainly takes the edge off of my peevish mood. And thanks, Izzy, for the suggestion of America’s Top Model, though, while I may slow down for the train wreck, ostensibly along with other traffic, I refuse to stop and gape at the carnage.
Well, it was this image or an image of a pink Hello Kitty fire extinguisher, and while I assume that Mr. KMc is a cool cat regarding his masculinity, I didn’t want to risk offense, so flames it was. 🙂
Ooh, alcohol and incendiaries! What more could a guy ask for. On the plus side, the only hair I’ve got that’s likely to be burned off by a flaming drink is eyebrows, and they’re vastly overrated.
Oh what the heck, why don’t we split the difference and call it six. That’s more than enough to put me under the table. I’m not the world’s cheapest date, but I come mighty close. 200 pounds of light-weight.
Hey Andi, vacation has been great. It has been just what I needed to get through the last 7 weeks. We’ve had great weather, so we’ve walked to the park or playground everyday. How are your woods?
I tried to load some pictures this weekend, but I couldn’t get them to the right size. I am putting the finishing touches on Part I of the China diary. It looks like it will be a three parter, with one part a primer on Chinese adoptions.
I just love your pictures. I’ve got to get out of the city for at least a day.
Where did you go if you don’t mind me asking? I lived in Windsor for at time — over by the University on Indian Rd, close — way close — to Amb. bridge.
He was going to UofW when I met him, so I joined him there — moved into his house (me and 6 guys — that was a real treat lemme tell ya!). When he finished his grad degree we moved back this way.
I’m still stuck at work waiting for something to complete so I can sign off on it and go home. Unfortunately I have to sit here and watch the damn thing finish.
Pour me a pitcher of Cherry 7 Up Plus and whatever you’ve got that’s expensive and guilt-inducing to go along with it.
After I posted that I got to thinking that Chichi Vavoom comes under the category of “things that are expensive and guilt-inducing” so maybe I’d better just stick with the cherry 7-up.
Oh yeah, and a plate of nachos with no guacamole and about two dozen of those little one-inch cream puffs. The tiramisu sounds good in a virtual sort of way, but I’m afraid coffee and liquor would both put me off.
But hey, this is The Cafe, where anything is possible. Oh garcon! Bring me one of those too, no coffee and no booze but just as good as the Real Thing.
Gathering of “Lost” Mourners here.
I’m almost ready to boycott the show. 🙁
My youngest son has an interesting theory about Lost. He thinks everyone is dead – kinda like Sixth Sense. That’s why they see things. That’s why Locke was cured and doesn’t need his wheelchair anymore.
If that’s the case, what about all the people killed in the crash.
We’ve talked about that. Maybe the ones who appear alive have unresolved issues so their souls are stuck between life and death.
Let me get this straight. I guess they are in limbo and they have unresolved issues.
So to get out of limbo you have to die some horrible death?
SN even I’m a better writer than that.
No, they have to resolve the issues. Hey, he’s only 16 whaddya expect? To be honest I don’t think the writers have any idea either. It’s like they write one episode at a time.
I tend to agree with you on that. I don’t know. I’m just getting really disgusted with some of the shows.
I guess I’ll have to start watching Gilmore Girls and wait for Rory and Luke.
I’ll bet the plot would move along a lot faster if everybody would wear some of those patriotic speedos.
They on a tropical island. Patriotic speedos are a little overdressed. 🙂
Okay, I’ll mourn, but let us not forget that there is a two-hour Alias (as well as America’s Next Top Model).
I felt like something was missing today — and then I realized what it was! I hadn’t received any FM-em … 🙂
Me either. I think he’s afraid of me.
Nah SN, but you did mention the PMS thing and I got scared.
I think all men by a certain age reflexively run for cover at certain times. I won’t bite your head off. But I may try to eat it if it looks at all like chocolate.
I won’t bite your head off. But I may try to eat it if it looks at all like chocolate.
Are you testing me to see if I’ll throw aside our friendship for the sake of a dirty joke?
I ain’t say nothin. 😉
That was way too easy. Low hanging fruit, if you will.
So, what’s your excuse for me? 😉
Because most of my day was thinking about Olivia.
What am I going to get her for her Birthday.
Should I get the tux out or go casual.
I’ve been out buy decorations for the cafe all day.
Sound plausible?
Besides, the white shirt and jeans look really suited you.
That’s good because that just about all I wear.
I have a closet full of white shirt, but only one pair of jeans.
I hope that’s a big joke FM … olivia-bday is a low key affair typically, sans presents, sans cake, sans party, sans bday … 🙂
You mean I can’t say Happy B’day?
I promise I’ll keep the cafe very low key. If anybody even looks your way to say Happy B’day, I’ll jump on em.
But… but what about the cake and presents? And the singing?
Low key. Remember Izzy low key 😉
But I don’t do low key! Besides, how can you keep all that singing and dancing low key? Won’t she hear us rehearsing?
Low key, I’ll remember that.
This is Olivia’s B’day. What ever she wants.
Don’t you worry Olivia. I’ll make sure it’s low key.
be sure to stop by the cafe before you go to work tomorrow morning. :-X
Be sure to stop at the cafe while your at work, be sure to stop at the cafe after work.
Hell it’s you B’day. Don’t go into work.
I have been slacking, but I did do a little stuff.
well, how could you be lost in a state where there’s nothing to block your view for hundreds of miles in every direction.
Hey NDD. We’re over in the other cafe.
You poor things. You far north people are so deprived.
I just don’t watch it. Or Alias. Or 24. Or GG. Too much hockey this time of year… 🙂
did you watch Buffy?
I’ve watched it before. (Usually after flicking around b/c no sports on …) :]
Actually I think Lost is the only network show I watch. I usually like some shows on Discovery, TLC, History Channel, Food Channel, Turner Classic Movies and PBS.
… Corner Gas — hilarious. It’s Cdn, so I don’t imagine you’ve heard of it?
I’m with you on the TLC and Discovery and Food and PBS. See, we could hang out and not fight over the remote!
Now that is truly cool.
the show? you’ve heard of it? 🙂
Oh yea. I know what you’re talking about. 😛
Buffy? Did someone say Buffy?
Oh, sure, call my ANTM suggestion carnage and then get all perky about Buffy. Hmph.
C’mon, vampires are way more interesting than models. They’re all bite-y and stuff. And have the mad ninja skills. Jittery, cadaverous, and insatiably hungry meat puppets can’t hold a candle to…wait a minute…
I was trying to determine olivia’s moral standing.
Andi we’re in the cafe. No one has morals. 😛
I think I’ve just failed a test or something.
that you only watched buffy if nothing else was on.
To further underscore Roomie’s ultimate coolness, she owns every season of Buffy on DVD.
She’s your roomie — her coolness was a given but this puts her into the uber-cool range.
I can wield a mean hockey stick! That’s gotta count for RL cool factor — buffy just pretends!
if you can get close enough to me to wield it — so it looks like you’ll just have to make a trip to Brown County to redeem yourself.
If I got anywhere near you, you’d be smothered in hugs and kisses — forget the hockey stick.
to give you an incentive to come visit.
And I’d love to … some day … <sigh> … 🙂
There is no pass or fail.
You are – embrace you inner buffiness.
You’re awfully mellow and “deep” … 🙂
Right?
It’s puff-puff-pass, Family Man, puff-puff-pass.
Indy it’s more like swaet sweat type. 🙂
Me deep? Nope, just touches of geezerdom.
Crap. The Indian’s pitching fell apart. Maybe it’s time to watch Alias…clearly I’m bad luck for them.
That’s always been my theory about the cubbies. Of course, that doesn’t explain all the bad seasons they had before I was born.
Google claims this is a Flaming Coyote. I have no idea what’s in it but it looks wicked cool, so I thought I’d serve you one up to try to take the edge off your bad day.
It looks like antifreeze with a head on it.
Romulan ale! I knew I’d like this joint.
Like I said, drinks are free. Just jump right on in.
I’ve been waiting for you to show up.
Have some lovebug:
How kind of you, Olivia. It certainly takes the edge off of my peevish mood. And thanks, Izzy, for the suggestion of America’s Top Model, though, while I may slow down for the train wreck, ostensibly along with other traffic, I refuse to stop and gape at the carnage.
The cafe dwellers have provided me with many pick-ups, so I know how powerful it can be 😉
It seems profound comments are all around tonight. 🙂
Are the psychiatric paramedics standing by to help you rehabilitate afterward? That thing looks dangerous.
Looks cool. Sign me up for one too.
Comin’ up. Here let me put it out so’s you can drink it…
Okay, that mighta been a little bit of overkill.
ROFL . . . I was looking for a picture of Wile E. Coyote after his latest Acme project blew up all over him but I couldn’t find one.
But your picture made me laugh. Are you sure that’s overkill?
Well, it was this image or an image of a pink Hello Kitty fire extinguisher, and while I assume that Mr. KMc is a cool cat regarding his masculinity, I didn’t want to risk offense, so flames it was. 🙂
Wow, I didn’t realize this whole conversation was going on. That’ll teach me to drink and type. I may yet learn to scroll down.
Judging from the quality of your jokes, you’re very clever, so I’ve no doubt you’ll catch on quick. 🙂
after he drinks it.
Ooh, alcohol and incendiaries! What more could a guy ask for. On the plus side, the only hair I’ve got that’s likely to be burned off by a flaming drink is eyebrows, and they’re vastly overrated.
Hey Kelly. Would that be one or an even dozen?
Oh what the heck, why don’t we split the difference and call it six. That’s more than enough to put me under the table. I’m not the world’s cheapest date, but I come mighty close. 200 pounds of light-weight.
The best of both worlds. A light weight is much more cheaper. 😉
Evening all. How are things?
Everything’s fine except I’m being awfully slow. How’re you?
Hi Izzy. I’m not worried about speed this week, I’m on vacation!
Hi Toni.
How’re you today?
Hey FM! (isn’t that a Steely Dan song?) I’m great. How are you?
Yep. Hey I didn’t realize I was so cool.
I’m OK and I’m happy to hear your vacation has been so good.
The truly cool never know, they just are:p
That’s profound.
I think I’ll include that in the book of slackdom.
How’s vacation going?
Hey Andi, vacation has been great. It has been just what I needed to get through the last 7 weeks. We’ve had great weather, so we’ve walked to the park or playground everyday. How are your woods?
Glad you are having a good vacation — with plenty of new pictures of Andrew (not so subtle hint)
Things are really looking very pretty and green in the woods:
May Apples
Dogwoods
I tried to load some pictures this weekend, but I couldn’t get them to the right size. I am putting the finishing touches on Part I of the China diary. It looks like it will be a three parter, with one part a primer on Chinese adoptions.
I just love your pictures. I’ve got to get out of the city for at least a day.
that you are going to do the China diaries. It almost (but only almost) makes up for no new pictures.
I’m really looking forward to them Toni!
I think that I will take leave of the cafe to go finish it. See everyone later.
See ya Toni. Enjoy.
How are things w/ you and cutie-patootie!
The cutie patootie is great. We went out to dinner tonight and he was an angel.
Is it your b-day soon?
Where did you go if you don’t mind me asking? I lived in Windsor for at time — over by the University on Indian Rd, close — way close — to Amb. bridge.
Well, we went to the ever exotic Swiss Chalet – a new one past the airport on Walker.
Did you attend U of Windsor?
He was going to UofW when I met him, so I joined him there — moved into his house (me and 6 guys — that was a real treat lemme tell ya!). When he finished his grad degree we moved back this way.
So that mud wrestling rep is entirely deserved. 😉
Andi, andi!
Did somebody mention mud wresting?
I’m still stuck at work waiting for something to complete so I can sign off on it and go home. Unfortunately I have to sit here and watch the damn thing finish.
Pour me a pitcher of Cherry 7 Up Plus and whatever you’ve got that’s expensive and guilt-inducing to go along with it.
tiramisu?
Why do you people constantly have me googling?
Sounds really good though.
After I posted that I got to thinking that Chichi Vavoom comes under the category of “things that are expensive and guilt-inducing” so maybe I’d better just stick with the cherry 7-up.
Oh yeah, and a plate of nachos with no guacamole and about two dozen of those little one-inch cream puffs. The tiramisu sounds good in a virtual sort of way, but I’m afraid coffee and liquor would both put me off.
But hey, this is The Cafe, where anything is possible. Oh garcon! Bring me one of those too, no coffee and no booze but just as good as the Real Thing.
You got it Omir. Anything for someone stuck at work.
And this too:
I’m feeling better already.
The process finished, I signed off on it and I’m outta here. See you all later tonight after any sensible person has gone to bed.
See ya later Omir. Maybe. 😉
Okay, a new cafe is up now!
a batch of Cafe Pick-Me-Uppers?
I love Bud!
We all love Bud, he’s almost as cute as ManE.
grab that coffee in Flagstaff, I guess that means I’ll have to visit you in the midwest someday. 🙂
We’ll find something to protest together, I’m sure, lol. 😀 Love to have you for a visit, sweetie. Keep me apprised of when you might get back east.
Hey Bud. The weather just fine in AL.
There’s the Love Bud. {{Bud}}
that needs to be Buddied-up.
