Hey hey. Free peanuts and shoe deodorizer at every table.
Gee, that sounds swell.
Sup?
So what 3-letter abbreviations should we use for each other on the scoring thingy?
I think we need a name for our team first.
Bloggers With Twelve Pound Balls. Highly descriptive.
Certainly is!
Well, “Pin Pals” is taken, see Simpsons episode 3F10.
Bowl Somethings. Something Bowlers. No, no, no.
Gutter Somethings? Gutter Snipes? How ’bout Gutter Snarks?
I need more beer.
OMG. Do you seriously know the Simpsons episodes by number? My boys would love you!
Good news: No, I do not know Simpsons episodes by their number.
Bad news: I have a Simpsons episode guide bookmarked, so it was a quick search.
I call dibs on D-U-H.
I guess LOL would be RF69. I’ll go with H-U-H?
Let’s see, that leaves L-O-L, W-T-F and O-M-G
Can I change mine? I want WTF.
and I do a team, we could use MOT.
but then again I’m stridently anti-bowling — it’s a sin against nature as the commandment says ‘thou shalt not be bothered with a game that has bizarre scoring, requires funny shoes, and takes place in a building where no good music is ever played.
You probably don’t like indoor cricket, then.
Actually, we had a bowling alley that had pretty good music. Album rock stuff like Tom Petty and ELO. Unfortunately the land the building sits on got to be too valuable, they had to sell, and the place closed down a couple of months ago to be replaced by (most likely) yet another set of unnecessary condos.
indoor cricket? who knew.
(I only like cricket if I am watching the movie Hope and Glory.)
MOT?
I’m glad you asked cuz I didn’t get it either.
I think they’re the only two Jews here. Maybe it’s MOT-zoh ball.
a Jewish nickname for fellow Jews — stands for member of the tribe
… I can give you extra special super 4s for this hilarious comment.
I’ll go with H-M-M. We should reserve W-H-Y? for mythmother, if she’s game.
If Armando joins up can we give him E-G-O?
or A-S-S
Hard to choose, hard to choose…
on the other hand, no choice is really necessary since he’s unlikely to show up.
And nobody is likely to put him onto a team if he does.
He can be on my team. I’m a really bad bowler and it would probably infuriate him to lose.
I on the other hand am usually immune to fury.
You should test your immunity by being married.
Gee, you make it sound so tempting SN.
Yeah, remember me when it’s time to hire a new PR person.
Maybe you could run the “save marriage as we know it” campaign. Gay marriage would be allowed by next week 😉
How about F-U-C-K?
I’ll let SN pick my abbreviation. Because I trust her. 🙂
The stress of being trusted! I’ll have to ponder awhile.
Ok, maryb. I’m thinking H-R-H
LOL!
Ok. If the glass slipper fits …
but I’d could offer up SBD (sweet but dumb) to someone.
I want to be there when you offer it to someone.
Well of course I’d never tell them what it meant and since they would be SBDs, they’d never ask.
I thought SBD was silent but deadly.
I had never heard of that (see you can make me go google). Since none of my SBDs know I call them that I don’t have to worry about the confusion.
You have dogs, you don’t have to call them SBDs. You can just say “Oh, Sniff!” Wow, that could be taken two ways.
Let’s see just how good that shoe deodorizer is.
Thank you, Andi – I’m flattered!
BBB
big buxom broad?
I’m stumped.
now she’s going to refuse to tell us
Once we have all admitted we’re stumped, she’ll reveal the answer — and her genius — with a flourish.
And humiliating us in the process.
bitchy but bodacious
I’m diggin that.
and it’s lots faster to say than shy bitch goddess of the left.
meaning?
Something about bach. nor. farming…
Bachelor Norwegian Farmer is correctamundo.
Sound like a great bowling league name to me.
I never did get into the team thing. Have to be there every Th night or find a replacement. I never liked being locked in on particular days months in advance. Too hard to adjust to the flow of life and allow for contingencies that way.
Why do you call yourself a bach … ?
I hate bowling … the thought of wearing used shoes is a total turnoff. 🙂
Been wondering the same.
you buy your own shoes. They aren’t that expensive 🙂
well, then technically, x-bnf, but it doesn’t work, ’cause one is either a BNF or not. Garrison Keillor’s radio show made the BNF designation well known.
Example of BNF behaviour; Today I was mowing with a John Deere riding mower. I stop to have a break but leave it running since sometimes it’s hard to start.
While I’m having my break my brother walks up from the shop, gets on the mower, and rides it into the shop. At first there is no clue to his motives.
MS NDD, I find out later, thinks his behavior is rude. But I look out on the front deck and see 12? raindrops have fallen. So, with my knowledge of BNF behaviour, I conclude my brother thinks the mower will be “safer” if run inside.
Significant rain did not materialize so I go get the moweer again and start in where I left off.
And then more BNF sort of behaviour is the little stack of 2X4s under the front axle of the mower when it’s parked in the shop. Now, mind you, this make some sense if the wheel is losing air pressure overnight, but that problem was a year or two ago. But the BNF still puts the 2X4s under the axle… mojo I guess.
Anyway, the BNF mentality is well known throughout the rural areas of ND and MN, which is why Garrison Keillor’s radio show portrayal of same is so hilarious.
nouf for now, could be a whole diary on BNF “syndrome.” So the X part is pretty much irrelevent as the mentalities hold whether bach or not.
LOL … 🙂
I know just how she feels!
Woo hoo!!
Ick! Is it here in Raleigh, or in Edmonton tonight?
wrapped up in the stanley cup, eh?
Hi Andi … 🙂
not yet — he’s watching countdown and then he’ll switch over.
I’ve been pissing off Mr. Nature by rooting for whomever is playing the Hurricanes. And one of them lives around the corner from us.
You could cheer on Edmonton live … 😉
I am, but having made one faux pas after another regarding the team loyalties of others, I’ll simply say “Go Team.”
I hope you’re following what you said the other day about cheering for the Cdn teams … 🙂
Well, it’s the Cdn game, after all. We Usians are mere interlopers. I mean, WTF?! Phoenix?! Dallas?! Los Angeles?! If your city didn’t have a mile-thick slab of ice sitting on top of it during the last glacial period, you shouldn’t have a hockey team. Simple as that.
Tho I really miss the All-Star format they had for a few years not long ago, North America vs. the Rest of the World.
sorry. Baseball. Cards vs. Reds. (with no albert <sob>)
… it’s Stanley!
but since I inentionally ignored the whole season as my rebellion against Blues management, I just can’t get into it in the off season. And besides, I like hockey but I love baseball.
Time to set up a new lounge since I’m posting on here. LOL!!!
into hockey, baseball, and cricket(???).
So how was your first Monday?
Well, I AM doing laundry but at this point the machine is doing all the work.
what’s the score in the game?
You care?
4-3 cards. Encarnacion just put them ahead with a two run homer.
Or is this just a lead in to gloat that the cubs took 2 out of 3 this weekend?
I have been listening to/watching cubbies games since 1955. I never gloat.
from the jaws of victory. That’s why they are lovable. I went to the game yesterday with my sister who is a cubbies fan. She was resigned to the fact they would lose because SHE was there.
The Indians lose whenever I watch them, but when I miss it they win.
until our teams play each other. I hope you watch all the games 🙂
I hope your sister is in the stands.
I tell them not to win by more runs than they need because they’re going to need those runs for another game but they never listen to me and go ahead and win 10-2 and then lose the next game 4-6.
The last three Indians games were something like:
Lost 11-0
Won 14-2
Lost 11-0
I just arrived so I can’t be disappeared yet!
Could be one of those times when your wife looks at you and you know she’s looking right through you.
another one it might have been, but not this one.
did you talk to MSS NDD about October?
Not yet. RL has been pretty hectic lately. MSS has 12 hour work days, and then we’re trying to get the country place ready for BBQ guests on the 10th. And not enought time to do everything.
I’m even beginning to wonder if the new deck will be done by then. High temps and high humidity are not very productive for me.
Last year it rained and we had 45 people in the house, ages 93 – 23, so that was pretty crazy.
I need to call Art first and see if he’s up for the symphony. Driving down in Art’s Prius would be pretty economical. And he’d get a kick out of the BTs anway, since he’s a die-hard lefty even if he is 75.
As long as you’re still thinking about it. There’s time 🙂
What’s the hockey score? I have to pretend I care when the Mr. calls tonight.
Including a penalty shot … Pronger scored.
Pronger? Is that a guy’s name or a position? Don’t make fun of me I’m a baseball fan.
This is getting good now!
That was the beginning of the end for us.
Although I’m glad he’s on a winning team now.
I guess I shouldn’t say anything about how the game is going so as to jinx anything.
You won’t be jinxing it for me since I couldn’t care less. I’d like the series to be over sooner rather than later so the local news would actually cover news events instead of the Canes.
I wasn’t worried about your BBBness for a second. I was, however, trying to be nice to our neighbor to the north.
I thought our neighbour to the north only liked the Ottawan (?) team. But I guess loyalties extend to the entire country, eh?
It’s part of the plan to be recognized world-wide as the nicer north american country.
score’s tied
… and if they lost it wouldn’t feel like my heart had been ripped out and stomped on …
Time for a new lounge yet? I am just about to comment! LOL! First Monday OK, I’m hanging in there!
Wait on that comment – I’ll put up another lounge.
