No, that was a different picture. Something that had to do with tea. It was quite the picture, though.
I was going to put up a picture of Terri Garr from Young Frankenstein, but (1) her name in the movie was Inge, not Helga, and (2) I can’t find any in Google Images. Not that I have much time to go looking.
I’m thinking five in each hand, as long as they had big handles. I used to be able to carry four bowls of cheerios and 4 cups of orange juice to the table. Hah.
Been an uber busy day here at work, so I’m pulling my nose up temporarily from the grindstone to stop in say hey to everyone. So hey there FM and SN and whoever else may be sauntering in for a brew!
Hope everyone’s re-entry into the work week was a peaceable one or at least tolerable! Will catch up with some of you again later, I hope. Though last night’s lateness has been haunting me today.
Oh btw FM… those last 2 posts at your place were great! (As always) Ya know, I have a can of salmon in the basement that was a gift to my mom, who hates it and gave it to me. It’s been sitting on a shelf down there for going on 5 years I think. Want to add it to your collection?
It’s all yours if you decide to take up that collection, so to speak. Just think how dangerous it would be if they actually got opened with the cats around!
Oh shush! I was being a goofus doofus during that. That was on my way to… Sen Wyden’s office actually. I was a bundle of nerves and my way of getting destressed is to make people laugh. I had Wayne rolling in tears… (cause he gets super nervous, too – more so I think anyways)
it was a stupid goofyass photo. And… it’s totally codepink in a way ROFL 😛
Hope you’re feeling a bit better today. Read your earlier comment about video games… wowza. Where do people find time to play them all? But then I have my own little avocational obsessions as well… mine just happen to have roots.
Finding the time is easy. Just ignore every other aspect of your life for hours or days or weeks on end. People get used to it after awhile and stop complaining. Also, avoid the urge to sleep. It passes.
LOL . . . Harry Shearer put up an ad yesterday as part of Le Show for the big box Christian emporium, Jesus Christ Superstore. I wish I had a link to it. It was pretty funny.
I thought cover for a funeral program, actually, with all the glowing rays of light… oh so resurrectional. I like Indy’s idea too… I bet you could make a bundle on that, when marketed to the “right” people (well I consider them the wrong people but you know what I mean, I think.)
I don’t think you’d stoop that low, but maybe I’m being naive. 🙂 That has happened once or twice in my life ya know.
have never taken second place to making money — mostly because there haven’t been any opportunities. 😉
The main problem wouldn’t be selling to those folks, it would be that I couldn’t bring myself to talk to them in order to sell them anything. Maybe using ASL?
Not like this — the combination that it took isn’t all that common — the air was warm and really wet from all the rain and the small cloud break acted to provide a narrow shaft of light, instead of it being diffuse. (You wanted to know all that, didn’t you?)
I did. I was trying to find a poetic way of saying how cool it looked that the trees were all, like, vertical and the rays were all, like, um, not vertical. You see where my problem came in? Not finding words today.
Two hobbits walk into a bar where one of them picks up a barfly. They take her to a local motel; the first hobbit goes into the motel room while the other waits outside. Once the door closes, the hobbit on the outside hears strange noises through the door, “I can’t do it, I can’t do it, I CAN’T DO IT!”
In the morning, the second hobbit asks the first, “How did it go?”
The first one answers. “It was embarrassing. I simply couldn’t do it.”
The second hobbit shook his head. “Manhood problems, eh?”
I will soon have a half dozen 17 – 19 year old boys here watching the game and rooting for the Hurricanes. It would be way more fun for them if they’d win.
junk food to handle that crowd — they can get really ugly if they aren’t kept at a heightened state of “fed” and I don’t want to have to worry about your welfare.
I sent the boy out for junk food. We have Doritos, Sun Chips, cookies, ice cream and pop. If that doesn’t do it we have an economy sized bag of frozen burritos on standby.
I may not be alone for my lone show of support Saturday. But the bad news is it’s gonna be a federal crime… felony and stuff. I coulf face up to 6 months in jail for “tresspassing” … still trying to figure out how to do this without major jail or fines.
I just wanna show support and protest at the same time. Damn.
How are you all? Me? I smell like bleach and 409. Need one more day on the apartment.
Hmmmm I don’t know FM. I’m a newbie to this. All I know is that Lt. Watada is doing the right thing and he needs attention, money, support and Citizens to show their support as much as they can.
Plus the laws keep changing… and the Patriot Acts… phhhhpppttt…
I can’t believe that Lt Watada could get FIVE FUCKING YEARS in the BRIG while those murdering, vengeful warpigs get nothing.
This is where the line gets crossed in our souls and hearts, people.
Janet I was just thinking and this might not make any sense at all, but I wonder if you contacted the ACLU and asked them. I mean someone has to know what the rules are. Which is pretty ironic if you look at it, since we play by the rules and the government doesn’t.
Well my friend Linda is with Civil Resist she’s one of the Portland peeps who was arrested in Wyden’s lobby. She’s really smart. But the rules of the govt change to meet their needs.
So we’ll just have to do what we must and… try to do it as safe as possible… with military motorists able to throw things at you and such…. and I thought Fleet Week was scary. LOL
Well DJ, do what you gotta do. But maybe there are other ways to help this guy and protest the war – like blogging and writing LTEs and speaking out with Code Pink. Let the people without little kids put themselves out there to face federal charges. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks Second Nature, but I can no longer do that anymore.
Too many are dying and risking and sacrificing.
As Jeff Patterson said before his resistance he got tons of “good luck” and “we’re behind ya”, but no one was really taking any risks or standing up along with him. He was alone. His command paraded him through the barracks and they spat on him. Kicked him as he sat on the tarmac…
Letters are just words and they don’t mean much unless I back them up with action.
Just because I have kids, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have nothing left to lose… hey… that’s a Janis tune… 🙂
You have to do what you think is right but I have to disagree. Words are powerful — look at the petition in S.D. putting the law on the ballot. That’s powerful stuff. Organizing people to get their words heard can be just as powerful, if not more so, than a physical actions.
too much bleach and still a fledgling… let me retry.
Words when not backed by action CAN be worthless.
I dunno… Andi. I saw this man’s eyes, his heart. I made him crack up… and the room at one point… I have to help him. I have to stand up and say this war is wrong and Lt. Watada is being a true leader.
I grew up thinking words meant something and votes counted.
But not anymore. I now know they must be backed up with action.
Our democratic leaders are stabbing us in the face and back. Our words fall on the pavement along with the Constitution which Bush called “Just a piece a paper”.
I’ve always said with regret and hope it wouldn’t be so… that the only thing that will wake up people and stop this illegal war is the blood of peace activists.
It’s time for me to stop talking and start more walking.
Well I did my own protesting for the Vietnam War and I understand how you feel but I do believe it was words and pictures that brought the Vietnam War to an end — an endless onslaught of them that wouldn’t let people hide and that’s what is needed now — another Living Room War.
At any rate, be careful and don’t let yourself get hurt.
((((Andi)))) the thing is though that during Viet Nam as you said, the news was bringing pictures of the war into the living rooms. People saw the soldiers coffins.
Now… the media has blood on it’s hands. We can’t even get them to announce how many are disabled from this. They refuse to show photographs… unless it’s Brittney Spears eating a hot dog at a road side stand as she does some shopping.
the free pretzels. Drink up or Helga will be very angry.
How many beers can Helga carry at one time? Pix please. 🙂
you and your voyeuristic needs. I think Omir had that photo of Helga, didn’t he?
Well I didn’t have the carrying beer picture, but I did have this.
But a boot of beer is always good too.
No, that was a different picture. Something that had to do with tea. It was quite the picture, though.
I was going to put up a picture of Terri Garr from Young Frankenstein, but (1) her name in the movie was Inge, not Helga, and (2) I can’t find any in Google Images. Not that I have much time to go looking.
How’re ya doing today Omir?
Just fine, how about yourself?
I need to catch up with Kansas to find out how I liked the taping of “Wait Wait” last week.
I think it was a more buxom Helga that FM was so fondly remembering.
Yep, that’s her. She looks so happy and ready to serve. All Alabamans like that.
You wouldn’t be grouping a people in a certain area would you?
Ohhhhh Helga.
I would never do that, FM.
I know, I was just kidding.
I still like Helga though. 🙂
She looks like my kin. We’re all big, healthy Germans.
Yes, but how many beer mugs can you carry? That’s really important you know.
I’m thinking five in each hand, as long as they had big handles. I used to be able to carry four bowls of cheerios and 4 cups of orange juice to the table. Hah.
Multi talented I see.
You do not know the half of it, FM.
Been an uber busy day here at work, so I’m pulling my nose up temporarily from the grindstone to stop in say hey to everyone. So hey there FM and SN and whoever else may be sauntering in for a brew!
Hope everyone’s re-entry into the work week was a peaceable one or at least tolerable! Will catch up with some of you again later, I hope. Though last night’s lateness has been haunting me today.

How’s your day going IVG? Thanks for complement.
You just gave me an idea. Some people collect beer cans, why not canned salmon?
It’s all yours if you decide to take up that collection, so to speak. Just think how dangerous it would be if they actually got opened with the cats around!
Thanks but after much thought, I think I’ll stick to my one can. I want the relatives know it’s their can I’m keeping. 🙂
But it is POURING RAIN (WOO HOO!!) right now! I hope you get it or had it … 🙂
Olivia! I saw you showed IndyLib ROFLMPINKAO! 🙂
You looked so hot, DJ!
Oh shush! I was being a goofus doofus during that. That was on my way to… Sen Wyden’s office actually. I was a bundle of nerves and my way of getting destressed is to make people laugh. I had Wayne rolling in tears… (cause he gets super nervous, too – more so I think anyways)
it was a stupid goofyass photo. And… it’s totally codepink in a way ROFL 😛
Yes, well you know I had to … it was such a luscious PINKA!
I can’t believe I did that – I was sober too! LOL
But as Danni said – no big deal – you had underwear on underneath. LOL
do suggest for this shot?

Jesus Loves You.
Seriously. It’s gorgeous and you could make a mint on it in the cheesy Christian bookstores that now permeate mini malls across America.
Hope you’re feeling a bit better today. Read your earlier comment about video games… wowza. Where do people find time to play them all? But then I have my own little avocational obsessions as well… mine just happen to have roots.
I’ve had different hobbies over the years but have made time for video games for as long as they’ve been making video games. 🙂
Finding the time is easy. Just ignore every other aspect of your life for hours or days or weeks on end. People get used to it after awhile and stop complaining. Also, avoid the urge to sleep. It passes.
I was hoping for something more on the order of a fond rememberance of Buffy.
She saved the world a lot.
see how well it works — and it’s not bad for ‘fire bad tree pretty’.
LOL . . . Harry Shearer put up an ad yesterday as part of Le Show for the big box Christian emporium, Jesus Christ Superstore. I wish I had a link to it. It was pretty funny.

I don’t think you’d stoop that low, but maybe I’m being naive. 🙂 That has happened once or twice in my life ya know.
Ack, when I said “seriously” of course I meant that in the opposite sense, as in, haha isn’t this an offensive and funny joke.
have never taken second place to making money — mostly because there haven’t been any opportunities. 😉
The main problem wouldn’t be selling to those folks, it would be that I couldn’t bring myself to talk to them in order to sell them anything. Maybe using ASL?
This is so impressive. I’ll bet you see that now and then in your woods, but it really is spectacular to look at.
Not like this — the combination that it took isn’t all that common — the air was warm and really wet from all the rain and the small cloud break acted to provide a narrow shaft of light, instead of it being diffuse. (You wanted to know all that, didn’t you?)

a fucking hobbit in a picture like that, Andi! 🙂
I run a clean woods and any hobbits in it that want to fuck are expected to do in the privacy of their hobbit houses.
Or out in the open so you can post pictures in the cafe.
Already googled, there are none. 🙁
You are a demon with Google.
🙂
Good one! I’ll have to tell my friend, the dwarf. She’ll grace me with her wicked laugh.
Olivia and hobbit jokes, go figure. 🙂
Now what on earth could you be talking about? There’s nothing going on tonight on any import, is there?
HOCKEY!!!
I’m watching the pre-game stuff right now … I’m excited! 🙂
I will soon have a half dozen 17 – 19 year old boys here watching the game and rooting for the Hurricanes. It would be way more fun for them if they’d win.
junk food to handle that crowd — they can get really ugly if they aren’t kept at a heightened state of “fed” and I don’t want to have to worry about your welfare.
I sent the boy out for junk food. We have Doritos, Sun Chips, cookies, ice cream and pop. If that doesn’t do it we have an economy sized bag of frozen burritos on standby.
Ha!!!! Hockey party at Second’s pad!!! 🙂 I LOVE IT!
But… I bet you a whole dollar that Danni knows more about hockey than all those boys do. I’m just saying… 🙂
Probably so. But they know way more about…eating.
you’re going to be thoroughly disgusting and check out their asses and let us know if there are any worth objectifying.
I’m APPALLED.
And out of the 5, so far maybe 3.
I’ve been looking for a tush as good as roman gabriel’s.
The hockey players or the teenagers??
I can be of much help with the hockey players.
All that skating makes big buns … 🙂
The stadium in Edmonton looks packed full!
Some say they won’t watch because their team didn’t make it…
I say… fuck them!
😀
are not conducive to butt-ogling. Maybe next year they can switch to lycra bodysuits.
OMG! that is too funny!!!
Your team is playing my team.
you’ve deciding to develop a hobbit porn blog?
I think the market is saturated. I can’t tell you how much hobbit porn spam I get.
Hobbits have hair feet and I doubt they wear pink. So that wouldn’t make for good HobPorn.
Damn gotta go again. A brother just drove up and George is barking up a storm.
Be back later.
I may not be alone for my lone show of support Saturday. But the bad news is it’s gonna be a federal crime… felony and stuff. I coulf face up to 6 months in jail for “tresspassing” … still trying to figure out how to do this without major jail or fines.

How are you all? Me? I smell like bleach and 409. Need one more day on the apartment.
Janet if you’re not on federal property is it still a federal crime, or is just protesting near a fed facility that?
Hmmmm I don’t know FM. I’m a newbie to this. All I know is that Lt. Watada is doing the right thing and he needs attention, money, support and Citizens to show their support as much as they can.

you just be as careful as you can.
I try to be Family Man
But there’s no such thing anymore as safely standing up for your rights.
Well DJ, do what you gotta do. But maybe there are other ways to help this guy and protest the war – like blogging and writing LTEs and speaking out with Code Pink. Let the people without little kids put themselves out there to face federal charges. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks Second Nature, but I can no longer do that anymore.

Just because I have kids, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have nothing left to lose… hey… that’s a Janis tune… 🙂
yeah, I knew you’d say that. Thought I’d try anyway. 🙂
Second, plus in regard to Watada: I’ve done writing, given money, passed the word along. So this will compliment the other things we’ve done.
I’m hoping too that I’ll be able to do the banner drops with the kids alongside CodePink on Mon/Tue.
Imagine if everyone turned off their tv, their car and got out in the streets and said “NO MORE!”
You have to do what you think is right but I have to disagree. Words are powerful — look at the petition in S.D. putting the law on the ballot. That’s powerful stuff. Organizing people to get their words heard can be just as powerful, if not more so, than a physical actions.

But you are still a pink hottie! 🙂
In all seriousness, please be careful!
I won’t engage in violence. I won’t engage in verbal abuse.
I will probably do alot of ducking.
Gotta go again and get dinner started.
Back in awhile.
about the simple joy of a blue marble on a large hardwood floor and a roly poly black cat.
She’s having her own game seven 🙂
I love Stanley!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!
It’s so… rigid!
I’ve got jitters!
Well, at least we won’t have to see those stupid ass cheerleaders the Canes seem to think they need.
If there’s one game that does not require cheerleaders… it’s hockey.
If they ever got up in front of me.. I’d nail them in the back of the head with a nacho! …in a non-violent, peaceful way of course… ahem. 🙂
The fans are watching the game in da rink!
oh that’s right… so that means… we get stupid ass Canes cheerleaders right?…
My brain is addled lately.
Clement Clement hands like cement!
Why does Ray Ferraro YELL when he’s speaking? Doesn’t he know he has a mic?
But I’m switching back n forth … 🙂
