Will wait for SN to explain the hard stuff

Please recommend
(and unrecommend the Cafe/Lounge from earlier) |
May the 4’s be with you
Step up to the bar. What will be you pleasure?
Start with a neat Lagavulin, please, and we’ll see how much THAT improves a reasonably horrid day…
Oh, what the hell, make it a double. It’s been a MORE than reasonably horrid day.
But it’s over now and things are looking down for the Shrubberies, which means they’re looking up for the rest of the world.
scruemall.
Slainte!
Have a triple stormkite. It’s all virtual so I’ll place the bottle by ya.
What? We have no connoisseurs of the finer alcohols for consumption?
I’ll have whatever Man E’s having.
What’s up Kelly? How’s the day going?
I got 1,000 words in, and would have done 2,000 if Dr.Mc. hadn’t decided to blow off her afternoon stuff and come home early. How about yourself?
I got 3 of my 6 on the list done today. The big one was the lawn mowed. Tomorrow the weed eating and windows, maybe.
What of the finer stuff is to your liking Manny?
scotch mood at the moment. I have 11 minutes left of the workday (not that I’m counting) and that seems to be the biggest motivating factor for a smile.
Well by now it’s 8 minutes. See how time flies.
I didn’t think it was possible but you grossed me out Manny. You and your vaginas.
I too thought that was geeeross.
Vaginas aren’t spelled with parantheses
and they are quite lovely.
earth has come to its completion. I shall now die in Peace and hopefully return in another life cycle as a hooded cobra.
Or a woman with one of those hideous vaginas.
I think those looked better than Laura Bush smiling LOL
I thought it was her smiling.
LOLOL!

🙂
do you think it’s a coincidence that you posted that and Family Man shot out of here like a bat out of hell claiming George needed to go out?
Not true at all. 😛
I betcha about 85% of the people here looked at their mouse differently for the first time. : )
Depends on which position you’re looking from.
My mouse has a big trackball. A big red trackball.
If I’m here you can just stop right after connoisseurs.
Isn’t that, that illegal liquor. Hold on a minute have to go to the back room.
Actually I just got back. I’m trying to figure out this mp3 player of mine.
I just got Steely Dan downloaded, but not sure what I want next.
Did you say “froggy-bottom”?
I like it. Don’t know why, but I like it. 🙂
Lovely. 🙂
We’ve been seeing all sorts of body part tonight.
be more specific about “hard stuff” 😀
HOCKEY IS ON!!!! Olivia’s team and mine are playing tonight – although not each other.
Oh it’ll be a quiet Happy Hour tonight.
SN’ll explain it…:{)
LOL where is SN when ya need her.
Ok, I’m back early and I have no explanation for the hard stuff – but I’ll take some of it.
Manny, those pictures in the last lounge are an insult to vaginas everywhere. I may never go near another one.
I’ll take a shot of that! 🙂
Did you see my note about Arlo Guthrie coming back to Seattle this summer? I have to leave as soon as I post this but can give you the skivvy when I get home.
I do not see your note about Guthrie. (Looks under couch.)
Send me an email, maybe this can be a … a… DATE! Whoot!
Here’s the ZooTunes page, with all the particulars of who’s going to be performing:
http://www.zoo.org/zootunes/
I’m posting this here in case Cedwyn or any other Portland-area tribbers (or tribfriends) is interested. We can work out the details in email. The bold entries are the ones I’m thinking about buying tickets for.
The good news is that these happen at a gorgeous meadow at Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo. The bad news is, the Arlo show is on a Wednesday which might make it problematic to get to work and back (although presumably the kids would be out of school).
looks like a real fun list there OMIR!
The one that surprised me was Doc Watson. I thought he’d died years ago.
Arthel Lane “Doc” Watson born in Stoney Fork Township, near Deep Gap, North Carolina, on March 3, 1923.
came home from dinner hoping to see OTT/BUF, but OLN here is showing NJ/CAR. Sigh…
OK I need some tech help. I think Mary told me one time about download your music to itunes or somewhere. What’s the deal with that and what are the advantages?
it’s free. And it’s great for storing and sorting your music.
Plus it’s got a cool player with different skins and you can buy songs with just a click of your mouse if you want. I don’t buy them because we have enough here that we, um, got some other way.
OK I’m back. I was just wondering what the advantages were. I don’t have an Ipod, but a little mp3 player, so I wasn’t sure it would work.
OK I’m downloading it and will see what happens.
It lets you play all of your songs on the computer, or you can download them onto your mp3 player (I have a generic one – not an iPod) but the best part about it is the way it sorts your music into categories, genres, artists, etc.,
OK I just got it downloaded and I’m going to give it a try. Be back in awhile.
one of these days!
I still got a few 8 tracks around somewhere.
and nothing left to play them on.
Back in the 70’s I wanted a reel to real so bad.
at one time. Got to be expensive taking them in for repairs, so they went down the trail. But before that happened we used to buy rubber belts, what ever we could get hold of(looked more like solid rope 3/16″), cut them, and super glue them back together again. That kept us going quite a while.
I had friends that had reel to reels and I always thought that was so cool.
I just had an old record player made by Singer. I took it was the sewing machine co. because I had inherited it from a sibling.
I have some 78 RPM records . . .
nothin’ to play them on, though.
I just inherited a hand crank victrola — yes, hand crank. My grandmother bought it for her mother in the late 20’s or early 30’s, I’m not exactly sure. It’s in a beautiful mahogany cabinet with storage space.
You can come play your 78’s on it any time your in St. Louis 😉
ooooooooo, tempting!
My grandfather occasionally had Edison cylinder players in his possession. He was an eccentric gentleman. I loved visiting his house, because it was stuffed to the gills with old stuff dating back past the 1920s and 1930s. Not only that, he had a barn and a yard full of odd and interesting things, like a wagon that looked like it was there then he built the house in the late twenties and a barn that was full of even more stuff.
Occasionally he would find stuff like old cylinder players, refurbish them and sell them. I remember one time he had an Seeburg juke box from about 1958 that he restored and sold to a bunch of college kids.
I carry much of his pack-rat and tinker mentality.
George is whinning. BRB.
Well, yet another lacrosse game tonight…CBtY’s team won, 13-5.
Still undefeated. And even better, one of CBtY’s nemeses from the school bus eyebrow incident was on the losing team.
Tomorrow’s retort: “Yeah, well my eyebrows will grow back, but you’ll still be a loser.”
So what’s everybody else been up to today?
That’s great CG. Love the retort.
Me, not much, just learning how to use itunes and downloading my cd’s.
iTunes is so much fun. And just think, now you’ll be able to play Random 10 with us on Friday afternoon! 🙂
That’s one of the reasons I’m doing it, but I used my mp3 player for the first time today. I mean really used it instead of just listening for a few minutes. Made lawn work go a lot faster.
I usually take mine on walks…it makes 5 miles fly by.
5 miles? Geez I am feeling geezerhood, or just extra lazy.
I met my first snooty neighbor walking with an ipod today. Never seen her before, but while working on the lawn she walks within 5 feet of me and I nod my head to say hello. She looks straight at me and just looked straight up and keep walking by. That’s nothing in itself, but most people here at least acknowledge you.
I felt like waiting for her to walk back by and mooning her. Didn’t feel like going to jail though.
She’s obviously just jealous. Either that or she likes you and she’s playing that old 5th grade game of ignoring the boy you like.
Wouldn’t work. She looked to be a little older than my oldest daughter. Maybe she thought I was a dirty old man. 🙂
Well duh…
Wait for eeet…
YOU ARE! 🙂
Well I haven’t gotten to opening the overcoat yet. Actually I don’t own an overcoat. I could paint myself a marble color and stand out in the front yard.
Man this itune thing is going to take awhile. I’ve only gotten 16 CD’s loaded so far and I’ve got 75 more to go. This might be a 2 or 3 night thing.
I need to figure out how to get my albums on it.
They have that faux marble spray paint at Home Depot. You could stand out there looking like Michelangelo’s David.
It would look more like budda standing.
Buddha in overalls. 🙂
Buddha Bibs 🙂
maybe buddalls?
Hooray for Lil Dude!!!!
Rumsfield Jr.: Well you, you duct taped your eyebrows, dweebette!
CabinDude: Well at least I didn’t do what you did and duct tape my dick?
or maybe not… 🙂
Maybe he can save that one for high school… 🙂
oh good, you got rid of the beer, I’m feeling less sick in THIS lounge. But I DO miss the german frau.
in California…if Olivia makes it in tonight, show her some love; her Ottawa team lost to Buffalo 2-1, and they’re now down 0-2 in the series.
We don’t want her trampling any flowers in frustration… 😉
Poor Olivia. I think she said she was going to that game.
If we return and find out differently… we’ll highstick ya!
😀
DJ you couldn’t be talking to me? I’m always nice, aren’t I?
I know I’ll try to explain the finer point of the game of chop chip tossing to her. Should take her mind of it.
Should have said cow chip tossing. Arrg.
I was trying to figure out what chop chip was.
I got nothing on that one. 😀
((FM))) I know you’d be sweet.
Hey on a serious note. My son about fuhhhreaked waiting for the scheduled sharks game to come but Canes had tied up the game… that could have been ugly. Whew!
If I knew what you were talking about I’d be happy for ya. I was actually checking our channels for hockey tonight, but nothing. See I’m trying. 😉
FM it’s on OLN channel – it was delayed due to another game going into overtime. Games on now. sharks up by 1 Whoot!
Thanks DJ, but we don’t get OLN. I’ve got two baseball games and a paint ball game. Looks like I’ll be watching PBS later on.
It was horrible! OMG — it pains me to say this, but I’ve come to the conclusion that my team doesn’t have heart. They don’t want it bad enough. They are going down. 🙁 Seeing them live, they looked slow and had trouble w/ their passes. Tape to tape yeah right! They weren’t the first to the puck, they didn’t hustle, even when they were in the dying minutes of the game. Emery let in 2 goals on 4 shots in the second! They outshoot Buffalo 44 to 17!!!! They were 0/7 on the PP. I think that Chara is injured in some way, as he was tenative w/ checks and generally avoided physical contact. Also, his reflexes seemed off. Coach Murray was changing line-ups on the fly — I couldn’t even keep up w/ them all. No wonder all their timing was off. It was horrible. Blech. Possibly –probably?– the LAST game of the season for Ott fans. <sobbing>
I saw the box score on SI and couldn’t believe it…sil said Buffalo has had the sen’s # for yrs at playoff time, but I know nothing of the history.
Here’s hoping they, and the Av’s, can pull it together and take it to 6 or 7 games.
Sorry.
… you and me. We’ll have to commiserate, then help cheer on SJ w/ DJ and Cali. 🙂
What’s new and exciting w/ you … tell me some good news.
Good news?…wish I could, we could all use some ’bout now, on all fronts…but, HEY!, we’re still here, gotta be somethin’ positive to that…:{)
very true.
Sounds like you two need some serious consolation there! Should I break out the bottle of Absinthe, pour a couple of proper glasses (sugar cube and spoon, of course) and let you two drink yourselves into sweet lethe?
Seriously, though… sorry to hear your team kinda bombed out on ya!
That sucks! Nothing worse than a playoff game where you don’t believe your team gave it their all. I’m sorry O.
How are you feeling today?
…one of the worst things you could say about a team.
I’m okay — just a little tender in the back and arm.
How ’bout you. Have you recovered from your w/e? 🙂
I’ve been through it with teams. I feel for you.
But you know what? It’s not over till it’s over. So you’ve got another game? Is this best of 5 or best of 7? It’s been so long since I followed hockey.
oh and I think I’m recovered. I felt better today than I expected.
They play in Buffalo Wed and again on Thurs. That could be the real end. If they win one in Buffalo they’ll play one more at home.
but at least you don’t have to hang out at the coach’s house after a loss. I’m in-lawed to one of the football coaches here in ND, and it’s a pretty quiet gathering on a loss day.
I’m usually pretty vocal about my upset. At this point, I can honestly say I wouldn’t want to hang out w/ any of this bunch either. Let’s just say I’ll be pleasantly surprised if they make it through this round. But after tonight, I really believe it’s over.
Well it looks like I’ll miss Olivia anyway. It’s my bedtime and I’m getting tired of loading up itunes.
Olivia if you see this, I’m sorry your team lost, and I’ll explain cow chip tossing to you tomorrow.
Good night all.
I think I’ll have to learn more about this cow chip tossing as my hockey season is about to end … 😉
Well, I have done much on the tossing side, but on the stepping side I have some experience. I’d say the main thing you need to know is how dry the cow chips are before the tossing process is initiated…
I grew up in farmland, so I think I could tell a wet from a dry one … 🙂
be fun to hear how ya like iTunes, since I download that tonight too. Ain’t done any loading yet though.
Sorry to see you go before I got here, but that’s my lot in life when I can’t sneak slack in the lounge at work like I did today.
I can explain cow chip tossing to Olivia if you need me to. They have a competition at our State Fair every year ya know. That and butter sculpting too… hehe.
butter sculpting sounds very interesting… are we talking large blocks or the little one pounders? 🙂
How’s things?
One year there was a cow, then an Elvis, a Garth Brooks, and lord knows what else. Can’t remember what they did last year.
Again, sorry about your game! So must suck to go to a live game and see em bomb. Sure you don’t want a glass of Absinthe?
… do they keep them in some sort of cooler?
Absinthe — will it aid in my hoarseness? I was kinda yelling and screaming and I lost my voice … 🙂
Yes, they keep them in a very cool area in one of the buildings so they don’t melt. Traditionally Fair time is usually the hottest 2 weeks of the summer in August, so if they didn’t do that, you could soak lobsters in the stuff in the streets.
Um, the Absinthe might not cure the hoarseness, but at least after a couple of em, you won’t remember you’re hoarse anymore. 🙂
😉
time for a bit o levity…courtesy of my wacko friend who calls hisself jf, not to be confused with JimF:
Letter from WalMart to Mrs. Fenton
Re: her retired husbands’ amusements
Enjoy
Got a laugh outta me…:{)
I can’t decide if THIS is my favorite:
or this:
…and if your in a situation like that there’s only one thing you can do and that’s walk into the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say “Shrink, You can get
anything you want, at Alice’s restaurant.”. And walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he’s really sick and they won’t take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
they may think they’re both faggots and they won’t take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. They may think it’s an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it’s a movement.- Arlo Guthrie
Arlo was ahead of his time.
It’s all part of the Effective Counter Attack strategy…cornfuse ’em till they implode…:{)
about time I “relit” that cornfuse… thanks for the reminder…
That was funny. I liked #13, and #15 for the implied ick factor. It sounds like Mrs. Fenton has a serious Walmart fetish — she’s there all the time — no wonder Bob came up w/ this list of amusements … 🙂
… to actually do any of these for real? I’ve done #8 after-the-fact, so that doesn’t really count. 🙂
Lordy, dada… those are hilarious. I laughed so hard I started crying and farting at the same time! There’s something you don’t see every day. Thanks, man. I needed some good chuckles, and you delivered!
Thanks IVG…we aim to please…laughter is good medicine!
Peace
… you knew what I meant right? ;P
Ask FM, I bet he knows someone with one or both of those names. hehe.
I got a cousin named Bubba, but no Billy Bobs.
it’s yer accent and hoarseness that threw me off…:{)
I’m still awake and I’m getting pissed. I downloaded Itunes and spent time putting so far 285 songs on. I have a generic mp3 player and can’t figure out how to get the damn somns onto it.
DOES ANYONE KNOW!!!!!!!
Do you have a line that connects your MP3 player to a USB port?
Yep and it’s connected now. I went through windows to try and sync, but couldn’t find anything.
I ain’t even gonna attempt that tonight. ‘Cause I know how it would work with me, due to the law of ironics, is just when I would think I would have it all figured out the whole kit and kaboodle would lock up and I’d have to take it all up north 90 miles to have the guru fix it all. So I’m declining to tempt the electro-gremlins tonight.
Good luck. Maybe one of our local wisemen or wisewomen can come to the rescue…
Well I’ve converted them all to mp3 which you can do in the program. When you go to preferences and ipod, it has no ipod connected. Duh. Ok, so there has to be someway to transfer the damn thing.
I have a feeling this is going to be a late night for me. This pisses me off. I’m going to figure it out someway. Just wish someone had an easy answer.
Let me look at my itunes. I’ll be right back.
Thanks Mary.
what kind of MP3 player do you have? You may need to download some kind of plug in if itunes doesn’t support your type.
I just tried windows again and I told it to search a different way. I think it’s coming up with the songs now.
I was going off half cocked because I thought it should have been automatic.
I appreciate your help. I’m going to wait and see if all will come up on windows and then play with the mp3 player.
I’ve got to weedeat tomorrow and now can’t imagine doing yard work without it now.
I’m not going to be any help anyway because I have an ipod. I just open itunes, plug in my ipod and after a few seconds (sometimes longer) the message comes up that it is updating my ipod.
I use iT, but don’t have an iPod…but there’s almost always an iPod software update in the notices I get.
Check w/ these guys: VersionTracker
Peace
Thanks dada.
Ya’ll hold on and I’m going to open a 24/7. Hell I just as well, I’m awake.
New Café here
