Belly up.
Quick, give me a beer before I make snarky comments elsewhere…
Like what?
Don’t restrain the snark! It’s one of the ways we’ve managed to carry on these past years. Go forth and be snarky! For does not the Good Book say, “Go forth and be snarky”?
Heck, have the beer then go make those snarky comments! (Just tell us where — I for one always enjoy a good snarkfest.)
Hi folks. This is an emotional day for me as some of you have seen in other dairies. Thank you for the suppport and love on this day from the community at large.
no problem. I think there is a beer cart around here somewhere, if that’ll help…
Thanks and I will be actually heading out to a happy hour meetinmg for delegates from our county to the state convention. I will probabaly have a few more than I should. LOL
Hope you all put together a good bunch of candidates to replace those right-wing assholes.
Darling, we have quite a few good ones running in Texas. I plan to work my ass off to get them elected.
Good for you. I plan to cheer you on!
How’s everyone doing today? I’ll take 27 beers please.
Dude, that’s more than the whole case.
OK I’ll start with just one then, but keep em coming.
Hi Family Man, did you catch up on your sleep?
Hi Mary. I don’t think so. I’m already ready to take another nap.
I’ll get caught up soon I hope.
Looks like you picked the wrong week to cut back.
Yay…my work day is finally over. I hate writing about PMS…it makes me feel like I have it. 🙂
What’s up with everybody else this afternoon/evening? Did the Fs go biking today?
one F who is a working slob did not go biking; one F is an f’ing non-working slob did.
I resemble that remark.
It makes me feel like I have PMS too.
Maybe it’s time for FM to put on his helmet and bulletproof vest.
I know. Whenever CG writes about PMS my hormones know it 🙂 I wish she would coordinate with my real PMS.
Just think of all the male pond dwellers who are eerily silent when she writes about premature ejaculation.
I never thought about that. We should make note of it next time. Very loud note.
SN, it’ll be my pleasure to prove your point. Ahem.
Which point is that, Bro? 🙂
That readers & commenters of the masculine, um, persuasion, would be, erm, reticent to speak about the, well, affliction? predicament? indisposition? mentioned in your previous post. Of course, I myself am not subject to that particular malady — being a monk & all — but nonetheless I felt obligated to respond with a non-response.
Speaking of monks – I noticed while putting fresh sheets on the bed last night that there was a rather impressive buildup of dust on the headboard. That’s not a good sign, is it?
If you want I’ll feel like I have too. I figure it has to be better than putting on the helmet and getting pelted on head. 🙂
Maybe it would wake you up.
In that case, I’ll take sleep. 🙂
Sympathetic PMS symptoms? Why do I suspect that it would suddenly become all about you?
Because if I had sympathetic PMS symptoms, I would expect the same treatment I gave anyone what had real PMS. 😛
You’d expect us to run away and nap?
Come to think of it, when I HAVE PMS I mostly want people to leave me alone.
I want to yell at helpless people. And then eat chocolate. And then potato chips.
me too. Only sometimes I vary it. I put the potato chips before the chocolate.
See that’s why you’re the successful career woman and I’m the schmuck – I never thought to vary it. I may try that.
Now Andi is going to whack you with a ruler if you use Yiddish curse words. 🙂
I’m going to whack her with a ruler for calling herself a schmuck. Hold me back FM.
Now Mary, you know I don’t jump in betweens fights. Especially when it’s you and SN. CAT FIGHT.
Sn didn’t Mary call you old a while back. 🙂
Now you two behave.
Excuse me. But you must have mistaken me for Olivia. 😉
You trying to rustle up a good mud fight, FM? I’m sure Mary won’t take the bait. Old Mary that is.
But remember, I’m the new Mary. The old Mary might have provided lewd entertainment. But the new Mary doesn’t work for free.
I’ve provided beer and pretzels, what more do you want? Sheesh.
You two are to smart for me. 🙁
At least you’re smart enough to know that.
You get pounded on the head enough, the message gets through.
Or you become brain dead.
In my case it could be both. 🙂
I thought putz was the bad one. 0:->
I believe they’re synonyms, but will leave it to the experts to settle the matter.
I think both are.
we have a winner — schmuck — mother gives you a sad, disappointed look; putz – mother washes mouth out with soap.
She said putz Andi, I heard her, she said it.
I’ll go get the soap. 🙂
You know, I feel sorry for one of the Seattle Mariners’ pitchers, a setup man/sometime closer by the name of J. J. Putz.
They pronounce it “puts” like in “he puts the book away” but that’s not what it looks like.
Here, in fact, is a picture of J. J., taken just as he found out what Putz means in Yiddish:
Yeah me too. 🙂
You know, there are certain subjects discussed around here that make me feel like I’ve somehow wandered by mistake into the girls locker room, and it isn’t by any means turning out like my adolescent fantasies once hoped it would.
They seldom do, Omir.
shattered your illusions, did we?
Funny, when I started working in a predominantly male enviroment, the boys locker room style conversation was almost exactly as I always imagined it. <sigh>
Back then I wasn’t so much interested in the conversation . . .
and now you are?
Oh puleeeze.
I’m pretty certain that if I were to find myself in a girls’ locker room today the conversation would be heavily flavored with the words “Eeeeeeeew!” and “Grossssssss!”
That’s only if I were wearing clothes. If I wandered in naked the pointing and laughing I mentioned earlier today would probably take precedence.
well, if you found yourself in a girls locker room today wearing no clothes … you’d probably face charges.
“Your Honor, will you please direct the defendant to wipe that silly grin from his face?”
You mean there are no women wandering around saying “oh little boy, does my butt look fat in these panties?…could you help me unhook my bra?”
I think I would have noticed. More to the point, so would my wife.
So here comes a story. I’ve probably told this before, but it’s a good one:
very few men’s locker rooms have lived up to my fantasies either. LOL
hahahahaha . . . now that’s funny 🙂
I couldn’t resist.
If you were raised by a woman or have lived or worked with any of them, you know all about PMS. LOL You might be afraid to talk about it but you recognize teh symptons and know what works and what doesn’t with teh loved ones in your life. I use to throw chocolates to one young ladyI worked with as it was the only thing that calmed her down.
LOL! I can just see you standing there holding a desk chair like a lion tamer, throwing Hershey bars at her so you could pass safely.
actually she was in the pod across from me and I would throw hershey kisses over teh wall at her when I heard her growling at customers. LOL
While you were napping we filled up your calendar for Oct. 7th.
What happening on Oct. 7th. I’m lost as usual.
I”m not sure I should tell you. It might make a better surprise when we take you to Chicago for a meetup.
LOL I could see that happening. 🙂
Heh. He thinks we’re kidding.
ya gotta go slow with this one.
You two are scaring me now. Did I end up in a time warp again and I’m really in the Twilight Zone?
Why are we scaring you?
Not really. I was just picturing myself back in a big city and the only picture I could come up with was the Beverly Hillbillies.
You’ll be with SN and me. You will be very cosmopolitan without even trying.
I know you two would be very cosmopolitan. But there’s only so much you can do with this.
October 7 in Chicago. Be there.
Open to all midwesterners and anyone who’s ever set foot in the midwest. Even on a layover.
I wish I could but I will be in SF that weekend. LOL
Change your plans. We’re more important.
LOL I cannot as I am on a panel at a designer meetup.
refinish, dear, you think WE care about your other commitments when you SHOULD be meeting up with us? I’d give this some thought if I were you. 🙂
OOOOOohhh Refinish. That doesn’t sound like a request. 🙂
I’ve been there on a lay over before. Trying to remember if I enjoyed it or not. 🙂
As I recall you actually LIVED in the midwest once. So there would be no contesting your credentials.
Layover sounds alot more fun than it really is.
Dunno either, but on October 6th… RUN!!!
I don’t think FM can run. Step, cough, step, cough, step, cough.
Since running more than 20 yard would get me out of breath, I’ll just hide under the bed.
Wait a minute. I’m too big to do that now, so there’s no hope. 🙂
Mkay, I’ll make an entry in my calendar.
“October 8: Have Requiem Mass said for Family Man”
You want the Mozart Requiem with that? It’s got that bitchin’ Dies Irae bit from Amadeus.
Personally I like the Rutter Requiem. But we really should ask Family Man.
And he’s NOT going to die — unless he doesn’t show up.
I’m sure you must have set foot in the Midwest. You should come too.
Faure’s Requiem
mmmmm hmmmmm
Relieved to hear that FM’s life is not in peril. In which case, FM, accept with stoicism your date with destiny. Remember our friends in the Possum Lodge and The Man’s Prayer:
I’m a man
But I can change
If I have to
I guess
The meetup’s happening 6 weeks too late, if you ask me: I’ll be in Chicagoland mid- to late-August, visitin’ the ol’ man in Oak Park. Well, plan to come to DC for Inauguration ’08: we’ll paint the town red, er, blue.
Is there a rule you can only go to Chicago once a year? I’m sure the ol’ man would love to see you twice in one year. What kind of son are you that you would deprive him of this joy?
Fine, reschedule the meetup for T’giving, ‘coz I’ll be out there again then. And yes, two visits a year are my limit. My step-mother is the best cook I’ve ever known. But if I ate like that more often, I’d look more third trimester (like my father) than late-first trimester (as I do now).
What a great idea – try to make reservations into the busiest airport in the country on the busiest day of the year. 😉
I haven’t see the Possum Lodge in a while. Thanks for reminding me of it.
Of course the Mozart Requiem. But I’ve always thought for my last word spoken over me would be.
He was here
Now he gone
Let go home.
Short and to the point. I like it. 🙂
we’re doing ‘Sweet Home Chicago’
My Kind of Town (Chicago is). We could do the Frank version BUT I think Family Man would enjoy the Barry Manilow version equally well.
Of course Barry Manilow. Was there ever a question?
I was thinking more the Blues Brothers. 🙂
I’ll have to find my shades. 🙂
I’m sure George can dig them up for you.
I was on my way out, but I’ll have George looking for them.
See ya in the next cafe.
I’ve got another nap tapping on my shoulder and George is whining to go out.
I’ll bid adieu for a short while.
See ya’ll a little later.
let’s go bowling shall we?
