Thursday #86.....let's Be Done With It!!

[RICHARD]

Hi everyone...
Since it's Time for the Christmas Pageant....You all can order what ever you want......Isn't that what the season is all about???:)


So, let us begin.....


On the outskirts of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a couple wandered around looking for a place to hang out until the Ball Drop in Times Square.....;)

[lbaker]

The donkey they were leading was still worn out from his trip down the Grand Canyon on his last field trip and he was getting very weary and just wanted to rest......

one hot toddy please....

[slick]

Laurie.....why don't you curl up on the couch by the fire with your special blankie. Sweet Toddy is on his way. LOL

Here's the santa suit, I hear that David is wearing it this week. Are you an elf Richard? Can I be an angel you've heard on high??

[momoffuzzyfaces]

They stopped at the local Holiday Inn, but alas, there were no rooms to be had...

cherry root beer, onion rings, and 4 cat nip teas, please?
:D

The innkeeper (that's ME!!) said...

(heard on HIGH??-Gum please!!)

CRB, Onion Rings And 4 CNT's DONE!

[lbaker]

Please make sure whatever you find is PetFriendly Mr Innkeeper, we have a tired ol' donkey, a fuzzy little cherry eating, beer drinking buddy and I do believe some smelly old camels are expected with 3 Wise AA$... um, Wisenheimers on board a bit later......

[zippy-kat]

Bark! Bark!
I hear the honda, signaling the arrival of the firemen...

Look what they've brought ... presents!
String of Kings, Hoard of fords, and Prints of peas

(Ok, I also came up with "mold, fur-n-cents, and purr" someone else can work those into the story. lol)

[lbaker]

Did you know that Frankencense and Myrrh were actually gum derivitives? For real! ("Prints of Peas" :D )

[Randi]

I think it's time that Fister had one of those capnip teas. He's being very demanding these days - I could do with just a few drops of yellow Grand Marnier in my coffee, it makes all the difference. :D Should I go and whip some cream for the apple cake? .... I think I will! :)

[catland]

meanwhile, back at the Holiday Inn, the serving wench prepared a lovely side dish for the weary travelers. Asparagus brought in by camel, with the appropriate sauce.

(ok, I'm repeating this joke from last year but hey, there's new people who haven't groaned to this one yet).

Among his treasures, one of the three wise guys had a beautiful shiney platter that he loaned to the serving wench because, as we all know....

There's no place like chrome for the hollindaise.

[RICHARD]

Catland..

Some jokes never get old.....


Randi,
1 catnip tea and a slug of GM for your coffee.

DONE

Laurie,

Ever try to keep a sitck of gum lit???

Zippy.

LOLOL.

Growing up I always thought that the word to "Silent Night" were...
"Round, young virgin....." ;)

I guess "of size, innocent girl" wouldn't fit the song...:confused:

[Corinna]

as they ate their lovely warming meal . The beatles were playing their christmas hits . The unborn babe was rocking out in the young womans womb.I'll have a suger free hot cocoa please.

[zippy-kat]

INNKEEP!
The lady needs a womb with a ewe!


...(room with a view)...

[slick]

OK FOLKS.....LINE UP.....THE BROWNIES ARE BAKED!!! :D :D

Bartender may I have a double BM please! I'll keep my distance.....had a greek lunch today with LOTS of garlic....

[dukedogsmom]

I'll take a brownie with a big glass of milk to go with it! I'll be sleeping in no time(after my laughing fit)

[RICHARD]

DDM,

NO brownies for you...Mario.....No you cannot be the child in swadding clothes.....Isn't that blasphemous?

[davidpizzica]

Bartender, a BM over this way, too! My throat is kind of raw from choir practice. A couple of brownies will help it too!

[gini]

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Slips into the bar humming this song. Oh, Wow!
Santa is here............and all of my favorite people!

[gini]

The following story is hot off the email presses.

One particular Christmas, a long time ago,
Santa was getting ready for his annual trip.
Alas, there were problems everywhere.
Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee
elves just weren't producing the toys as
fast as the regular ones. Poor Santa was
beginning to feel the pressure of being
behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus
announced that her mom was coming
to visit.

This stressed Santa even more. When
he went to harness the reindeer, he
found that three of them were about
to give birth and two had jumped the
fence and were out, heaven knows where.

More stress. Furthermore, when he
began to load the sleigh, one of the
boards cracked, and the toy bag fell
to the ground scattering the toys
everywhere. Frustrated, Santa went
into the house for a cup of apple cider
and a shot of rum. When he went to
the cupboard, he discovered that
the elves had hidden the liquor, ! and
there was nothing to drink.

In his frustration, he accidentally
dropped the cider pot, and it
broke into hundreds of little pieces
all over the kitchen floor. He went to
get the broom and found that mice
had eaten the straw end of the broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and
irritable Santa trudged to the door. He
opened the door, and there was a
little angel with a great big Christmas
tree.

The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry
Christmas, Santa. Isn't it a lovely day?
I have a beautiful tree for you. Where
would you like me to stick it?"

...... And thus began the tradition of
the little angel on top of the Christmas
tree.

Merry Christmas, and I hope you were
gentle putting your angel on the tree

[catland]

Gini - lol and OUCH!


How do sheep in Mexico wish you a merry Christmas?


Fleece Navidad.

I haven't seen the bartender yet so I'll just help myself to Tom and Jerry... uh, I mean some eggnog :o

[slick]

Oh my, you two are sure giggly this morning. I'm still trying to wake up.

LOL Gini and Catland....thanks for the smiles. Poor little Angel got a bum deal!:D

All I need now is a Spanish Coffee and a happy brownie before I get to work. Work? Today? It's so quiet in here you could shoot a cannon though.

Can we please say a little prayer for Laurie who is sick with the flu and Kelly also. Kelly doesn't frequent the bar but that doesn't mean that we can't chase her flu bugs away, too.;)

Hey Santa, mind if I sit on your lap and give you my wish list???

Great story, Gini! Pass that little angel some Preparation H!!!

Fleece Navidad, y'all!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE EVE, EVERYONE!

Can I have a brownie and some hot chocolate? (3 big marshmallows, please.) And of course, 4 catnip teas!:D

[dukedogsmom]

Guess I'll take another brownie now. I need my roughage :D Although, it'll be hard to behave myself here at work. One day closer to Christmas! Wish it was cold down here. Anyone want to send us some snow? It's in the 60's and it's thoroughly depressing.

[slick]

Hey Donna.....I've got some great chewing gum over here???? ;) :D

[davidpizzica]

I think you must have been good luck for Cora since she found a home after you had your picture taken together. Maybe you really ARE Santa? :D

[catland]

<darn - and I expected Slick to make a comment about Tom and Jerry being the haz-mat guys>

Has anyone seen Mario? I knitted a little Santa hat for him. (now I know this is a virtual bar because I don't know the first thing about knitting)

[slick]

:D :D Sorry Julie.....I'm a little slow today.....must have been those "happy brownies" and that chewing gum. ;) Oh, the colours.......:eek:

[davidpizzica]

Connie, at least to Cora I was!! She received the best present of all, A new home!!

[thenamelessone]

Then batman falls out of a time portal in the roof of the bar with robin…
Robin: Wholly Birthday batman!!!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! Just checking in to grab a Spanish Coffee to go.
Tonya, hope you feel better today.
Zippy....I'll address that Bad Meowmie syndrome today.
thenamelessone: I'm still trying to figure you out....took me a year to decipher Richard. I'm a little older and slower than you. :D
Donna: I think that's enough "lap-sitting" for now....;)
To everyone else, Merry Christmas and don't drink too much nog!

[zippy-kat]

I sooooooooo want a pizza -- anyone want to share one?

[davidpizzica]

Aw, Slick! Donna was just telling me what she wanted for Christmas. (It's a long list!)

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Just don't put any of those fisy thingies on mine! Ms. K'Cee can have those! ;)

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE EVERYONE!:D

[dukedogsmom]

I'm always up for pizza! No fish for me, either please. I can pick off the olives. I'm at work but got lucky enough to be off tomorrow. It's finally getting a little cool here again. Hope everyone is having a good Christmas eve.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I'll have some pizza! But only one slice, don't want to ruin my appetite for Fisherman's Wharf dinner tonight. MMMMmm-mm!

So, Innkeeper, did you ever find a room for the Virgin Mary and her donkey? I know Texas is a long way from PA, but there are plenty of rooms available down here! Just remember to wrap her up real good so she doesn't catch cold.

Heard this morning on the news that they've spotted a strange object in the sky. I think it was near Australia or New Zealand at the time. It's kind of long and has a red light on the front of it but the NASA guys can't seem to be able to indentify it. Whatever it is, I sure hope it finds your house tonight!

I'll take some really good strong Egg Nog - thanks! Oh, and I have to apologize for not stopping in yesterday. All day long I thought it was Wednesday yesterday. :rolleyes: One of the downfalls of being on vacation, it really doesn't matter what day it is - oh how I hate it when that happens. ;)

Have a great Christmas everyone! :D

[zippy-kat]

Debbie - so nice to see you! Glad you are checking in.

The pizza's (finally!) here guys... dig in!
I have a veggie thin crust (no mushrooms though -- can't STAND mushrooms -- they squeak when you chew, it's like they're beggin' for mercy) and a very cheesey thick crust. Take your pick!

[dukedogsmom]

Merry Christmas all! I know you probably won't be here. I'm by myself today. Mom and dad are up north with my one brother and SIL. I'm going to have a little Christmas with my other brother tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a nice day.

[davidpizzica]

MERRY CHRISTMAS,DDM! I just came home from church this morning and I have a few hours to kill before I go for my Christmas dinner at my brother's house. No snow, but its a COLD 13 degrees in Pittsburgh!

[dukedogsmom]

You're so lucky to have it cold! It's just barely chilly here. I want some snow!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'm here too!
Cold Cold Cold here but warming up.
Good day for lots of hot chocolate and Christmas cookies!
YUM!

I'll share!

Wonder what Santa brought Mario this year? ;)

[davidpizzica]

Connie, it's sunny but cold here! Got any more cookies left?!

[gini]

MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I just got off the phone with my brother and his family.
They went to church last evening and then out to dinner for Christmas Eve. My two little nieces (10 and 3) were sooooo excited about Christmas.

My brother said that at 2 AM the ten year old woke up crying, said her tummy hurt. Nothing happened. About a half hour later...........she tossed her cookies.............everywhere.

They were up for over an hour changing sheets, giving showers, getting everything under control.

I remember the excitement of Christmas.........it is wonderful to be a child........

Here is to all of the "children" inside of us..............just keep your cookies to yourself:p

[RICHARD]

Could those have been Santa's cookies???:eek:


Merry Xmas!!!

Tonya makes a GREAT Mary......The I'll get the broom and get the sheep poop cleaned up..:D


Thanks for the Pizza Zip.....You pay way to much attention to those mushrooms....
:eek:

DONE for everyone and We'll see y'all later.

[Corinna]

Gini I was one of those kids way to excited. We have a warm 30 degrees (Farinhieght) about 6" of snow . Its beautiful. Going to daughters in about an hour. My family just about fainted this morning I cooked breakfast Waffles!!!
We all went out to Applebees for daughters birthday last night had a balst But i think our server had been making merry eairlier in the day a dat bit goofy. I'm adding out christmas card photo here as it was a word doc and it wouldn't go to the site for all but this is me and hubby at the top of Lake McDonald in Glaicer park.
