A Mid-summer's night Thursday 222!

[RICHARD]

What light in yon window breaks?

It's everyone pulling into the driveway for another Thursday.

Enter the halls of Thursdays, Break bread, eat, be merry...

--------------------

LOL, here come the jokes about breaking windows, bread and dressing up like "merry".

Let me ponder the spritis that will be served this fair day!

[lbaker]

Yeh verily forsooth, what fools these mortals be that must ponder the spirits instead of serving them :rolleyes: ;)

[RedHedd]

As long as no one's breaking wind .... :p

Feel not an Ill Wind - for none was blown upon thee -

Have thyself a DOD - if one shall be selected within
the fort-nite (or whatever ya call it). :p

[cassiesmom]

Thursday Eve's upon me once again;
A tall, cold beverage shall do me good.
Iced tea, for it hath been a troubling day.
A mango Mojito doth sound fine, though.

In summer watermelon is a treat.

The publican he up an' says "we serve no redcoats here"
Well, Mr. Publican, how about ex-picklesuiters?

And from afore ... if one were to "Kipple" ---

[Lady's Human]

The line about the publican is a paraphrase from "Tommy", a poem by Rudyard Kipling.

http://www.web-books.com/classics/poetry/anthology/Kipling/Tommy.htm

There's an line from one of the ballroom scenes in the muppets.......

So, do you like Kipling?

Anyone got a can of Day-glo orange spray paint?

I have to give a pair of boots the final polish. :D

Thanks for the rounds, barkeep!

[Karen]

He said the drinks are on him - I've got a punch-bowl full of courthouse punch* - who will help me lift it to dump over him?








*For those of you who aren't a sibling of mine, "Courthouse Punch" was a recipe devised by our mom to serve at the party the DAR** threw for the new cizitens every time there was a ceremony at the Worcester, MA City Hall. People liked it so much they convinced her to write out the recipe (always a daunting task), but it basically involved mint, tea, ice, sugar, various fruit juices ... and is yummy.


**Daughters of the American Revolution, or to quote one of my Great uncles D****ed Ancient Rebels

[lbaker]

Somewhere in a past life I doth believe we must all be siblings of yours Karen ;) in hearts and minds at least :cool: Hoist away!!!

[RICHARD]

LB,
It's called the family of man. :eek:

Hoisting!
So shall it be!

Karen,

If ye thinkest that we shall drown the Picklesuiter- we at least need the recipe..... ;)

Me thinks it is a family secret anyway!


So shall it be!

LH,
Day glo orange? Nay, I found a can of International Orange. ;)
That is the last trip into the void know as the L&F for a while!

Drink up good sir!

So shall it be!


C&S

THank ye for serving the masses! No apron or hairnet is required.

So shall it be.

[lbaker]

Exit ~ stage coach

eww, I was just reading about Eye Boogers, Sheep Snot and dog drool in other threads... thought I would stop back here and touch "sanity" before starting my "real" workday ;) :D :rolleyes:

[RedHedd]

Try saying Sheep Snot real fast 23 times! :rolleyes: :p :D

[gini]

What the? You guys are kippling and snotting and sooth saying?

Arrgh - let me out of here - all I wanted was a little something to start my day - I didn't want to have to kipple for it!!

It's not a pretty sight!

LH - congratulations - no more long drives?? And we can have you hang out at Thursdays every week? Yippee!

[RICHARD]

Here's a jug of mango mojitos for the masses...

Sheep snot? no way, Jose!

[cassiesmom]

"Mine eyes smell onions; I shall weep anon" - Shakespeare, All's Well that Ends Well

What's cooking Mario? Onion rings? Bring 'em on! Got any ranch dressing with those?

[lbaker]

It's all Staci's fault! We were discussing eye boogers and dog drool and she told us about getting snotted by her sisters sheep once :eek: PT'ers have such sophisticated conversations :rolleyes: Mojitos and onion rings!! I'll even help (after I wipe off the sheep snot ;) )

[RedHedd]

LOL, Laurie, You actually got me to try and do a search of the threads to find out about sheep snot (but it didn't come up on the search, dang it!) Is my life complete without this knowledge? Perhaps I should just have another mango thinga-ma-whozit :p

[cyber-sibes]

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine. *

I'll taketh a glass of sweet-flowing red wine, as red as musk-roses, as fragrant as eglantine....

:D and don't you think the oxlips tie in nicely with the sheep-snot?

*A Midsummer Night’s Dream Quote. Act ii. Scene.1

You are both on your own on this one! ;)


CM,

Onion rings and Ranch?

So shall it be!

[lbaker]

"Awds, Bodkins! (did I just say that?) I need a tall, cold diet Pepsi!'

(thanks David)

I thinks it's more odsbodkins or something similar (don't have time to research it) but it's what the first Pilgrim probably said when he stepped off the Mayflower and stubbed his toe on the rock) "ODSBODIKINS" The first curse expression spouted in America. :eek: :o ;) *it's something naughty translated to "by the blood of God" or something equally sinful*

lbaker, I guess that pilgrim had to put a shilling in the cursing jug!

[gini]

Kippling and cursing..........right here at Thursdays? What has the world come to?

[lbaker]

Several sooths going on here at the house, I'm laughing my butt off and the dogs are worried :D

[RICHARD]

LOL,
what an eduactional thursday this week, Kipling and Kursing!

All under one roof! :D

Lord have mercy!!! I've been sick for two weeks and come back to this?

Gadzooks!

Why dost thou flee?


NO Mario, MOFF doesn't have fleas! :confused:

Next week we'll be back to normal.

[gini]

Next week we'll be back to normal.

Normal? And what would THAT be Richard?:D

[RedHedd]

Next week we'll be back to normal. Normal? At Thursdays? Now I'm confused! :p

[davidpizzica]

Exactly what is "normal" at Thursdays, RICHARD?

[Lady's Human]

"Normal" is a completely relative term.

In the case of thursdays, I THINK normal would be Orc and Mario in Cabana boy outfits, the humans sunning on a beach somewhere getting virtually sloshed while Lady torments OK.

[Lady's Human]

Ya know, we always have cabana boys around here, what about cabana GIRLS? :p

[davidpizzica]

Ya know, we always have cabana boys around here, what about cabana GIRLS? :p
LH, being a bachelor, I second that motion!!

[RICHARD]

The nice thing about normal is everyone has their own idea about it!

LH,

That's why men have eyes!

Does anyone want spaghetti?

I'm having a noodle jones!

[davidpizzica]

RICHARD, I'll take a BIG plate of spaghetti and do you have some meatballs to go with it??

[lbaker]

I make super duper meatballs we can add to the sketty. Mine are made with a sausage mix with some secret ingredients. And right now the garden is bursting with fresh 'maters!!! WOOO HOOOOO :D How about some thin crust White Pizza to sop it up with?

[cassiesmom]

Can I throw my enlistment contract in the fire?

It's OFFICIAL!

I am now listed in the Army Human Resouces dept as .......

SFC PETERSON USAR RETIRED!!!!!

:D :D :D

Drinks are ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LH, go for it! My dad was in the Army in Korea in 1951. over a year ago now we wrote to the Army to get a copy of his discharge certificate so he could apply for V.A. benefits. He got a letter saying that his was one of many thousands of records that was destroyed in a fire in the 1970s, and the letter would serve as a substitute for his discharge certificate when he enrolled with the V.A. But maybe the Army has higher-tech means of storing records like that now, via computer, or micro-film or digital images. I was going to say the Army would burn it for you, but I hope things like that don't happen anymore!

So, congratulations for your retirement, and best wishes for whatever is coming next (leisure?)!

David and Laurie...

Sketty for all! Some gah lick bread and a 'mater salad!.

So shall it be!

CM,

Gosh I remember seeing that fire in the newspaper. I remember waiting for the p.m. newspaper to see the news....Sheesh all that history. :(

[cassiesmom]

Is it Thursday yet? :)

[gini]

Thursdays is always open - well, maybe it closes for one hour for clean up on Wednesday morning and then opens right back up.


What would you like to drink? Richard - hey Richard - we have a thirsty person here.

[lizbud]

What would you like to drink? Richard - hey Richard - we have a thirsty person here.



Make that two thirsty people. :)
Boy, spagetti , meat balls & garlic bread sounds great.

[davidpizzica]

RICHARD, make that THREE thirsty people! Anymore spagthetti??

Better SAVE 'em, Fred!!

Don't "trust" Uncle Sammy to even remember your Name - let alone when you served.

MY Dad served in WW II - Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army Corps of Engineers -
built the US airfields on the Japanese Pacific Islands, then served for years in the Active Reserves ---
ALL his records went to ashes in the Big Records Fire - July 12, 1973, the
St Louis National Personnel Record Center suffered a huge fire on the Sixth Floor,
but water destroyed military records on ALL the floors.

Lucky for Dad's Military Retirement, and later for Mom's Survivor's Benefits -
they had kept the originals of ALL Dad's military service records in the safe deposit box.
Those personally saved records insured he and Mom got their well-earned retirement benefits.

Here's a recent story about the 1973 Big Fire in St. Louis >>>
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/281544/1973_fire_in_st_louis_destroyed_millions.html

So ... Lady's Human ...
I'd hold off on feeding that fire ... you just might WANT those papers, some day!

[cassiesmom]

Here we go, Thursday is just a couple of days away, so I've brought some iced tea. Sugar and long-handled iced tea spoons too.
