Thursday #73-

[RICHARD]

Hello everyone!

(I'm saving the Kalishnikov vodka for next week- you'll see why!)

Glad to see everyone made it back safely and I am sorry I missed the party....

I think I am in the mood for some Rolling Stones music today, shall we mosh??????

the drink of the day is.....


Sweet Peach

1 oz. Amaretto, 3/4 oz. Peach Schnapps, 1/2 oz. Orange juice

Shake over ice, Strain into a Shot glass
:D

[dukedogsmom]

Hey, that sounds similar to a Fuzzy Navel and I love those! Rolling Stones. I immediately thought of Paint it Black. I also love 19th Nervous Breakdown. Here's a great Rolling Stones site http://www.keno.org/Home.html

[lynnestankard]

Oooohhhh lovely - the bars open - Hi Richard and Val.

Sweet Peach eh? That sounds gorgeous - I'll have a try of that Richard.

Eeerrrr......Rolling Stones - NOT my fave - but I'll dance to anything!!! I do like 'Brown Sugar' though!!

Lynne

[slick]

Nice to see you back Richard. I could use a drink but no sweet peaches for me thank you. I'll just take my usual double BM for now. Thanks.

Hi Lynne, Hi DDM. I love the RS. Rock on Mick!!

[cfuh]

YUM-mie!!! I love Amaretto + oj and Peach Schnapps + oj so all of the above would be excellent!!! :D :D

I'll drink to that!!!:)

[catland]

I'm more of a Doobie Brothers or Dire Straits kind of gal (money for nothing just came on the radio as I'm writing this) but I'll go ahead and get some satisfaction with that sweet Peach.:D

Richard - Does this mean that for the next couple of days you are a "peachable" source?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

*moff crawls in on all fours, tongue hanging out ......

ONION RINGS! I GOTTA HAVE ONION RINGS! ;)

and a cherry vanilla coke. Oh, yes and 4 catnip teas, please!

HI EVERYONE! *waves*:D

[dukedogsmom]

Hey there moff! I'm still at work and it's kind of busy. One of those drinks really does sound good. Wonder if Mario can fill in for Richard as bartender?

DDM,

LOL, I always tell people that if you can teach a primate to type he could do my job......why should bartending be any different???:)

[KYS]

I'll try it. :D

[wolflady]

LOL LOL MOFF, I'll join you in those onion rings! :D I'll have a DOTD too, Richard...sounds tasty!

DOTD, Onion rings and a tune....DONE!

Hey,
How's the knee??

[davidpizzica]

Well, RICHARD, I can't watusi yet, But now I'm in out-patient therapy and little by little I'm gaining more normal movement in the knee. I go to the doctors on the 28th fo a follow-up.

[slick]

Welcome to Thursday's CF. This is the place to hang your hat for awhile and enjoy the company of fun-loving people. Only rule is leave the attitude at the door and first-timers need to tell a joke.

Hi everyone else. MOFF, for some reason everytime I pass a fastfood place I think of you and onion rings. :D

David, glad to hear the knee is better. Have you been driving much (and I don't mean golfing) ??:D

Richard, got another double BM in your back pocket???

No, I'm just happy to see you!!

:eek:

DONE!!!

David,

Good for you!!

[davidpizzica]

Slick, I've been driving old blue alot! Thank goodness for automatic transmissions. It's still a little painful getting in and out of the car, but even that is getting better. BTW, did you get your windshield wiper problem taken care of?

[slick]

Originally posted by david p

Yup. The problem was the intermittant thing-a-majingy! :D I had some other stuff done to the car at the same time and came back to a $400 bill. Let the rain begin. I feel like I've been reborn.

I can see! I can see!

Glad to hear you are "getting around".

Richard, very funny. When I first got my answering machine at home my outgoing message was dear old Mae (in my own voice, of course). "Is that a pen in your pocket or are you just glad to hear my voice??" :D I only left it on for a week for obvious reasons.

[davidpizzica]

Slick, "you can see clearly now, the rain is gone" I bet it's nice to see oncoming traffic for a change!

Ah! A rose by any other name would be an onion ring, eh? :D

[davidpizzica]

Connie, were you born eating onion rings? Because of you, I'm ordering onion rings with my DOTD!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

:D Nah! They weren't invented yet!
Enjoy!:D

[gini]

Slick, isn't it the truth!! EVERYTIME I think of onion rings, I think of MOFF.

Pet Talk is taking over my mind!!

Hey, did I tell you all about the dream I had about all of us together at a Pet Talk meeting?

Richard, you would not believe what you were wearing...........

Slick already knows what she was wearing and wants a wardrobe change..... I am working on it........probably in tonight's dream.


I have just never been big on peach anything.........something about the fuzz..........

Soooo, let me think.............(very hard to do you know)........I will have something yummy with rum please!

[slick]

**yawns**
Good morning everyone and happy Thirsty!
Weather here is absolutly miserable. It's foggy, dark and raining. Good time for a Spanish Coffee and curling by the fireplace. I guess summer is over for this year.
Guess everyone is still asleep so I'll just slip into the kitchen and do some cleanup.

Awwww, look at Mario all cuddled up beside Gini. What a kodak moment. :) Wonder if she had any PT dreams last night?

[Killearn Kitties]

We have a gorgeous day today! The first realy nice one all week. I think I'll have a drink of the day please! Mad that I missed an outing last week! I'd love to visit there - not sure about on a donkey though.

I heard on the radio yesterday that the Rolling Stones are planning a tour for 2006 when they will have a combined age of 2000 or so.

I don't want to brag, but it's sunny and 63 degrees in Pittsburgh! It would be nice if you can rustle up a cup of spanish coffee for me and we can sit by the fireplace!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

'Morning everyone! Hopefully I'll be able to visit Thursday's again today...if my boss doesn't show up that is. :rolleyes:

I'll start with a spanish coffee even though it is another gorgeous sunny day here today. I heard on the radio this morning that this is the first time since 1897 that September has been warmer than August in Chicago. So far we've had 15 days over 80 degrees in September, and we only had 10 in August. Weird weather this summer, but I've really enjoyed it. I can't take the high heat and humidity that we normally get....not to mention the really low a/c bills. ;)

So, what's all this donkey doo doo laying all over the place?

[lizzielou742]

Hi all! I think I need a drink! I think I may have just gotten one of my co-workers fired! :eek: ...I feel bad, but not too bad, because the reason he's getting fired is that I caught him looking at porn on my computer! :eek: Anyway, I had to suck it up and go in my boss' office and tell him - it was hard because he's 65, SUPER religious, and treats me like his granddaughter. Imagine me telling him what I found on my computer....

Definitely glad tomorrow's Friday!!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oops, forgot to post a joke I had to get the day started. Here you go.

A cowboy walks into a bar and orders a whisky. When the bartender delivers the dirnk, the cowboy asks, "Where is everybody?"

The bartender replies, "They've gone to the hanging."

"Hanging? Who are they hanging?"

"Brown Paper Pete," the bartender replies.

"What kind of name is that?" the cowboy asks.

"Well," says the bartender, "he wears a brown paper hat, brown paper shirt, brown paper trousers and brown paper shoes."

"How bizzarre," said the cowboy. "What are they hanging him for?"

"Rustling," replied the bartender.

[catland]

arrggh matey - what a joke - oops, wrong week. :o

lizzy - Yikes - just remember, you didn't get him fired, his actions did.

Hi T&P - wish I could say that about our weather. September is usually one of our nicest months - cool crisp mornings and warm sunny afternoons - unfortunately, this September has been more like April - cool and rainy. We're supposed to finally get some warm weather again this weekend - we better enjoy it because it might be the last of the 80 degree weather until May or June.:eek:

David - Richard isn't around yet so I'll rustle up that coffee - done.

KK - a dotd for you.

good morning Slick - don't we normally do cleanup on Friday mornings?

Onion Rings for everyone.

:D

[lbaker]

Wow, ... WHAT A LOOOONG STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN oops that's Grateful Dead, I forgot we're doing Rolling Stones. It has been a weird week though - glad to FINALLY stop by for a DOTD (if it's not too late). I did meet up with Emily-the-Spoiled (aka Cheryl) for lunch on Tuesday. It was really fun to meet her and I'm honored too because she said I was the first honest to goodness PetTalker she's actually met in person! Well, I don't know about the honest part and "goodness"?? ME :eek: eeeny hoo, I want to know what Richard was wearing in your dream Gini, what's going on with Slick's wardrobe change? I'm confuzzled but what else is new :rolleyes: * plops down on the floor with a sigh *

Richard, you would not believe what you were wearing...........




lol

I can see your neighborhood from work....so that must mean you can see what I am wearing when I walk in here....;)

How's about a rum and coke?? DONE?

Slick,
Yesterday Lost Angeles was clear and hot....:confused:
Cafe espanol! DONE!

KK,

2000???? I thought Mick was 1500 years old, all by himself!
A DOTD, DONE!

P.s. the Grand Canyon does have helicopter service!!

T&P
Remember these days around the 27th of December!!!
;) Thanks for the joke... I needed that!

I'll get a mop.....

Liz,
Oh man.......take a deep breath......DOTD for you!

DONE!

Catland,

You fill my shoes well. THANKS!!

I'm off to do some work......I'll put up some wood for the fireplace before I go.....Talk to you all later..... Rest those sore bums......

I think we'll make our Field Trips a monthly adventure...Next destination???

Hi laurie,
you just posted....A DOTD for you!!

[gini]

My dream? All I will say is that there were a LOT of people in the dream..........and they seemed to be Pet Talkers one and all.

It wasn't Halloween, but a few of you had on some *funny* clothes. I guess it is the diversity of our group that I was dreaming about.

Richard thanks for the rum and coke........perfectly made!

How about if we go to visit each other? Since this would be a cyber trip - everyone would have a house big enough to hold us all - an unlimited budget for the groceries - and a comfy bus to take us around to see the sights.

Slick, you do mention how pretty it is in your area. How about if we come to visit you and meet Max and Speckles? Then you could show us around your area and we could have some yummy seafood.

Anyone want to invite us? (sorry, I am busy this Thursday and weekend, I have invited the...........oh, never mind, you would never understand)

:D Gee! Thanks, I guess! Not exactly the legacy I had hoped to leave for the world but at least I won't be forgotten as long as an onion ring lives any where on earth!
:D

[lbaker]

Thanks Richard, I needed that. Mid 80's, sunny & dry today, but nights in the 50's Beautiful, typical weather for September in Washington DC. What's for lunch? Anybody have a particular hankering for anything? Cooking relaxes me and sometimes chopping things up into small pieces puts a somewhat evil grin on my face ;) Ya'll can come visit me anytime but I would suggest in the next month or so. Winter here is miserable. Fall is delightful and most all the sights are free, museums, most art galleries, the zoo. The American Indian (or preferably Native American) museum just opened on the National Mall (no, not a shopping mall) and I can't wait to visit. Come on down [up, over] for a visit ya'll...

[gini]

Uh, Richard, better get the knives away from Laurie.............last time she made stew it had little tiny pieces of Mario's bananas in it and I think some apples and oranges and cherries.

[lbaker]

ummmm, Gini - that's called Fruit Salad :rolleyes: not stew ;)

[slick]

Just stopping for a minute. Busy this morning and my boss is sitting in my office on the phone.......:eek:

Laurie how about rustling up some lemonade??? Lemons make good squeeze toys. Good for stress relief.

Sure you all can come up...seeing it's a cyber trip I don't even have to get rid of the dust bunnies.:)

Later gater.

[lbaker]

If I remember it takes, um.. how many PetTalkers to make lemonade? Was it four? Did that include Mario? hahahaha every time I think about Gini's BBQ I find so many things to laugh about!

[davidpizzica]

Gini, I would like to show off Pittsburgh to everyone! Has anyone visited there recently? I think that Pittsburgh is a little different from some people's ideas!

[gini]

Well, it sure was good with the teeny tiny pieces of beef and onion mixed in:D :D

[lizzielou742]

Thanks for the drink! :D Is it 5:00 yet? ;)

[lbaker]

Lizzie, the sun's over the yard-arm SOMEWHERE, drink up. David, I think I mentioned this before but one of the best steaks I've ever had was at one of those restaurants on the ridge overlooking the 3 rivers. WOW. Also, come Fall there are some beautiful hills and mountains to meander around looking at the Fall colors. Gini, I thought after all those slushies no one would notice :o pour enough magic potion in the stew and who cares???

[gini]

At a family reunion years ago, I was making spaghetti sauce for the crowd. Little did I know that my brother in law was adding some beer every time I turned my back.

Sure was good spaghetti sauce!!!

[davidpizzica]

lbaker, the view from Mt. Washington can't be beat! Also, the view coming into Pittsburgh thru the Ft. Pitt tunnels! Those two views are beautiful in any season!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Yeah! We're going to visit Slick!! I get to actually (well....cyberly anyway) get Speckles and Max, and Slick, maybe we can discuss our new business venture - day care for geriatric kitties. First of all we need to come up with a good name.....

Gini, spaghetti sauce with beer in it? Sounds yummy! :D I've heard of sauces using wines, but never beer, I'll have to try it next time. :D

I'm up for a real drink now. Just got back from lunch - had a reuben quesadilla. Same thing as a reuben sandwich but on a tortilla instead of bread - less carbs you know. :rolleyes: I like it because it's not as filling and I don't have to worry about falling asleep at my desk at about 2:00 pm. ;)

Oh, as for the drink, I think I'll have one of those swamp thangs. Haven't had one of those in awhile and all that tequila sounds yummy about now. :D

[lbaker]

Swamp thang? Has that been a DOTD before? If I don't remember it, it must have been good ;)

[slick]

Don't get me wrong everyone, I'd love to have you all up here, but I think the first stop should be Richard's place. After all he thought of it and I think it would be a good way to pay homage to our fearless leader. What do you think? I want to meet the inspiration for all of Richard's stories.

Then while we are down there we can swing by his Mommy's place, then Gini's, then Kelly's, then see Sara's new home. Oh my, I'm getting carried away aren't I. :rolleyes:

Hmmm, lunchtime here now. Think I'll just slink down in this easy chair and eat. Need a double BM to go with it though.

Sure is nice to have everyone here today! :) :)
God, I'm sooo addicted!!!

By the way, onion rings made with a beer batter are really yummy! ;)

David, I used to live in Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Kansas anyway. They drop the h off the end. Well, actually they think your city copied them and added an h. Very interesting place.:D

[catland]

If you are starting at Richard's and ending up at Slicks - well heck - then I'm on the way up north if you want to do a quick stop here.:)

[lbaker]

Well gee Catland, to quote an old friend of mine...



...... "are we there yet? are we there yet?" :D :D :D

I dress that way everyday!!:eek:

Slick,
Thanks for helping with the lemonade detail.:D

Liz,
IT's always 5 somewhere on the planet!!

Gini,

Fruit salad stew???:confused:

T&P
Swamp thang for you!

Laurie, ST for you too!
DONE!

Slick...

Come on down!! You'll have to fight the cat for the recliner

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid112/p93de5fd511c8be8c12c60e4f69c06c22/f8fcd814.jpg

MOFF,

Beer battered onion rings......Not a bad legacy..

Catland,
Be ready for the invasion...

[lbaker]

Tomorrow I have to go down to the County Courthouse and pay my property taxes.. we are talking THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. YUK. I will most certainly need a STRONG DOTD when I get back. Something that has to do with taxes? Or Govt? Best make it WICKED! OH ICKY POO! What I could do, or go.. with this tax money! But I must say, I do love the county and place I live.. but REALLY! OH BOTHER! Help me Rhonda, help help me Rhonda... oh, sorry.. that's not Rolling Stones either :rolleyes: I don't care if it's not "TalkLikeAPirateDAy" I just want to say AAARRRRGH

[DJFyrewolf36]

HOOOOOORAAAAAAAAY! Its almost Friday and I get to spend the weekend doing what I love:

Playing Dead or Alive 3 on the X box :D

Like I don't do that after work and before work and at lunch anyhow ;) Ok so Im X Box obsessed

What is the DOTD anyhow? I missed that somewhere....

[gini]

Laurie, let's just invent a new drink for your situation and call it

THE BOTTOMLESS PIT!

Let's see, what would be in this type of drink?

Richard??

[RICHARD]

.Sweet Peach

1 oz. Amaretto, 3/4 oz. Peach Schnapps, 1/2 oz. Orange juice

Shake over ice, Strain into a Shot glass

DONE???
---------------------------

Gini,

A Bottomless Pit would be Moonshine Whiskey and Diet Mountain Dew...

The kind of 'shine that makes you go blind.....that way you dont see the tax bill.................

:confused:

[dukedogsmom]

That bottomless pit would be a killer! I had a chance to try real moonshine from North Carolina one time but the smell was enough of a reason not to. I'll bet it burned until it left your body.

[lbaker]

OKEY DOKEY SMOKEY VAL, an "out of body experience" it is. Bring it onnnn. Thanks ya'll. sheez, now I'm even talkin' Moonshiner :rolleyes:

[Logan]

NC Moonshine might just cut through this garbage that is in my head and chest.......I drank hot Saki on my birthday for that very reason!!!! :o

I'm very late joining in today, but hope you all had a great Thursday!!!! :D

Logan

[lbaker]

OK Logan, maybe we should just stick with the "Sweet Southern Tea" :p Thanks for being around! Next time I have some money (hah!) I'll treat for a Mimosa and some Bay Crab Eggs Benedict and we can sit out on the veranda! HOOO BOY!

[slick]

Well, here I am late again and missed the whole afternoon's party. Work got in the way. :mad:
So just got home and ready to parteee but being on the West Coast I think I'm the only one up right now. I'm just going to fix myself a BM and snuggle by the fire for a bit.

I tried moonshine once years ago. I'm still recovering.:rolleyes:

Oh yea, my car hit 100,000 kms today on the way to work. What's that in miles??:confused:

[lbaker]

OK you oldsters, what was that movie with whatshisname that played the "moonshiner" in his old truck? Going down the road? You know.. HAH! James Mitchum.. wasn't that it??

[slick]

Don't have a clue Laurie but here's a little song to sing you to sleep......:D

The Moonshiner


I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler,
I'm a long way from home
And if you don't like me,
Well, leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry,
I'll drink when I'm dry
And if moonshine don't kill me,
I'll live til I die

I've been a moonshiner for many a year
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
I'll go to some hollow, I'll set up my still
And I'll make you a gallon for a ten shilling bill

I'll go to some hollow in this count-er-y
Ten gallons of wash I can go on a spree
No women to follow, the world is all mine
I love none so well as I love the moonshine

Oh, moonshine, dear moonshine, oh, how I love thee
You killed me old father, but ah you try me
Now bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine
Their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine

[gini]

What in the devil are you two up to at this hour of the evening?

Lord, I could hear you singing way down here in So. CA.

[lbaker]

Dang Slick, you're pushing it. I think that's almost the song they played in the movie! Whaat was that movie? Come'on David, you know it. Sheeet, I'll have to wake up in the middle of the night and post it when I thunk of it :rolleyes: I know, I'll Ask Jeeves! OH, ROBERT MICHUM (sp?) not James, (silly me, I was thinkng of James Mitchner, the author, not the actor)

[gini]

Mizz Baker......could it be Thunder Road...........with Robert Mitchum

I have to tell you I think he was one of the sexiest men on the screen in those there daze................

You know..........I sure wish it was around July 14th or something........and another BBQ was just a few days away!

Is it too early to start a day countdown until the next BBQ?

OK, OK, I'll shut Mario up for the next squeezin' episode... oh, but he's sooo much fun! (guess you would have to be there :rolleyes: ) Hey ya'll, I have to go fight City Hall tomorrow.. anyone want to put up bail if they ask me to "smile" as I pay my future security money? I'm apt to throw the money at them in penny's... NAH, I'm needed right here for now.. * oh heavy sigh *

[gini]

Nah, Laurie, you don't have to shut him up...........just blindfold him...........he blabbed to everyone what we were up to:D

[lbaker]

OH not "everything" and NOT to "Everybody" I hope.. Willie, your dear Mario wouldn't really "TELL ALL" would he? would that mean he would be barred from the bar?? :eek:

WAKEY WAKEY RISE AND SHINE!!!
It's a beautiful sunny day today. Fresh coffee and home-made Bailey's is on the bar.
Should be an easier day today so maybe I can have more time to play.

Gee, I feel all giggly today.....those perky lessons I've been taking must be paying off. :D

[trayi52]

Slick, the coffee would really hit the spot!

How are you this morning? I hope Speckles is doing okay today.

I think Mario is lonely, his little boy went back home for awhile and he is missing Dakota so much. I guess it wouldn't hurt to give him an early beer, would it?

Willie:D

[davidpizzica]

Slick, I wish you would overcome your shyness! LOL LOL I'll stsart off with a beer, and I'll try cheer up Mario. He looks down in the dumps.

:D :D Ah, come on now David, you wouldn't want me any other way. ;) :D
Willie, it's soooo nice that you are here. Please stick around today if you can. :) Max and Specks are doing OK but now I've got a problem with one of the cats I'm cat-sitting. It seems that Rusty has developed a bad limp so if it's no better tomorrow it's off to the whitecoats for him.:rolleyes:
Catch you guys later and don't give any of that Bailey's to Mario.:eek:

[davidpizzica]

I'll take a Bailey's and it's off to physical therapy!

[Corinna]

Good morning all. Glad to wake up to a "normal" morning . Its been a stressful week. Only 2 more days of being opren at the shop. Then a week of inventory and then I'm a FREE woman until April..Time to play with the fuzzy crew. How about a class of apple juice this morning.
Just started looking at the storm radar good greif will Florida be inhabited after this season? more storms and reruns of Jeannie and Ivan . Any one needing shelter I have a trailer here empty.

Hate to say this, but I don't recognize the song. However, when Slick decided to sing it ONE MORE TIME -

I started singing it - but to the tune of the theme song for "The Beverly Hillbillies".

I'll have some of that coffee and Baileys. <sings off tune> "Won't you come home Bill Bailey, won't you come home....?)

[RICHARD]

lololol,

That is why I love Thursdays and all of you.....


Someone tosses out a word/phrase or story and it gets a life of it's own...

Me too!!! :D :D

'Mornin.....errrr....afternoon everyone! Gee, is it lunch time already? Slick, what are those perky lessons, I think Terry needs some of those lately.:rolleyes:

Corinna, so the gift shop is closing already? I know the mountains around Denver got 17" of snow the other day, are you guys getting it already too? It just seems too early to be closing for the season - what happens when Terry and I want to visit in Mid October, will the roads still be open? ;)

I'm totally off coke now and onto Diet Rite - no sugar, no caffeine, no sodium, no nothing - what is this stuff made of.....besides Splendide that is? :rolleyes: So I guess I'll take a White Grape Diet Rite please. :rolleyes:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'm hungry!
What's for lunch?

How about tacos? and iced tea with lime?:D

[lbaker]

RICHARD, I thought it was a hair-ball!

MOFF, just came back from paying my HUGE property tax bill at the county courthouse (YUK) and needed some comfort.. SO, went up to Kensington Kabob & Pizza joint and bought some ONION RINGS! Thought of you of course... boy, were they just purrfect.

Slick, "perky"? That's almost as bad as being "cute". I hate cute.

Can't believe ya'll caint remember Thunder Road. Robert Mitchum was my hero. Well, at least one of them.

Beverly Hillbillies, I think that's when I decided I wanted a BloodHound for my next dog. Of course I ended up with a bunch of BorderCollie/AussieShepard mutts... I guess I'll keep them after all.

HEY, did you know that I also have a CLOWDER at home? In yesterdays crossword puzzle the answer was "ABUNCHOFPETCATS". And JenLuckenback always has a KINDLE "AGROUPOFKITTENS". Look it up... true words:D:p

CLOWDER? I thought that was a soup with clams in it? :confused: ;)

[Killearn Kitties]

Well I didn't believe you, so I went and looked it up. Clowder wasn't in my dictionary, but kindle was! Good grief!

(I've never heard of Thunder Road though.)

[lynnestankard]

Hi All - I'm glad I wasn't the only one singing along with the tune to "The Beverly Hillbillies"!! :D :D

I agree with David, Slick - you really should come out of your shell a little more!!!

Well as it's 6.55PM here - I've just had pasta for dinner - so I could really fancy something CHOCLATY!!!! :D Ah - I remember some Cadbury's in the fridge - I'll bring it shoujld I? We can share - especially with some of Slicks Baileys.

He he he Karen - your too young to tremember 'Thunder Road'

Hmmmm...have to make a mental note of that in case I run across the same crossword puzzle. ;)

Laurie - cute is bad, but sometimes perky is worse. Especially bright and early on a Monday morning. How people can be perky on a Monday morning is waaaaaayyyy beyond me. :rolleyes:

[lbaker]

I just typed in "clowder" on Google and...
Clowder - (n) a group or collection of cats. ...
HA HA! Chowder is the soup with clams. Good stuff. Maybe I'll make some seafood soup for lunch for everyone. Shrimp, clams, mussels, crab meat and/or lobster meat, calimari (eww, squid for those that are squeemish can pull out the octopus)OOOOH, with some good sopping up French bread. HOO BOY... get the garlic and butter on the saute pan! We're burning sunlight pilgrims!

Hmmmm, there are some parts of my body that I wish were as "perky" as my mind... :eek: :D
Hi Debbie. Speckles send smoochies to you. What do you think of the name I picked out "Feline Foggies"??
Lynne - come out of my shell? What am I, a crustacean??? :D
Hi to everyone else. I see that the Bailey's is gone so I'd better whip up another batch before Gini gets here.

Clowder??:confused:
http://www.clowder.com/
Today's lesson: How to speak "Laurie" 101. :D

[catland]

I vote for the tacos!:D I'm about 1/2 hour away from non-cyber lunch time here.

I like the expression "a murder of crows" - who thinks of these things anyway?

What should the Thursday group be called?

You and me both Catland. It's nice to know that there are others in my same time zone. Come to think of it, am I the only Canucklehead to visit Thursdays?? :confused:
Richard, I'll take my usual please. Thanks.

[lynnestankard]

OH I could spit! I just typed out a reply - Dan walked across the keyboard and the whole thing disappeared - that darn cat!

Right lets see if I can remember!

Slick said - Lynne - come out of my shell? What am I, a crustacean??? NO!! I wouldn't put you in soup!

Richard could I have something long and strong please? SLICK - don't you dare!!!


Catland said - What should the Thursday group be called?


OLD!

Well, I was on my way to the bar..........and stopped dead in my tracks when I spotted Marsha. Have you all seen her???

I just had to sit down and talk to her a bit. Maybe we could adopt her for Mario? We could use a good pot bellied pig..............I mean the REAL kind.........not one of us for a change:D

Hey, Lynne, cut it out.......OLD???.......well, I don't need the walker quite yet thanks:D (but we all do remember Thunder Road don't we??)

Can't hang around long.......had a meeting that was supposed to be for one hour.......but it became two...........

Tacos and Baileys?? How could I go wrong? (don't answer that).

Hi everyone, I'll be back later this afternoon.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

*in her best Jan Bradey voice: MARSHA! MARSHA! MARSHA!;)

Yes, I think Mario would love to meet her! Will she fit in the bar?:D

Just got back from Dim Sum lunch. Wake me up in a hour please. :eek:

Hey, hey, hey! Speak for yourself Gini! I don't have a clue what Thunder Road is! I think I remember Robert Mitchum....isn't he the one that did the battery commercial with the battery on his shoulder? Ok, ok, so I may not be old, but my mind is going.....don't know where it's going but it seems to be in a big hurry lately. :rolleyes: ;)

Slick, scritchies back to Speckles...and Max too since we can't leave anyone out. Feline Foggies is a great name! I must have skimmed over that but I went back and checked it out.

Feline Foggies, where frail, forgetful felines fadeaway. Hmmm....somehow I don't think that's a very good slogan. We need something more.....hmmm...what's the word I'm looking for....got it!....we need a slogan that is much more perky! :D

It's the cocktail hour here, and it's Friday afternoon and I can't wait to go home, so I'll have another nice tall swamp thang please! Make it a nice strong one too. :D

[davidpizzica]

Not only do I remember Thunder Road, I have it on video tape! It's a great movie. Robert Conrad (Wild Wild West) did the battery commercial.

[gini]

David, we are all swinging by your house tonight to view Thunder Road. Sorry if we drool on your tv screen because all of us are in love with Robert Mitchum!

Thank goodness SOMEONE around here remembers the movie aside from Laurie and me:p :p

Sorry, I won't be drooling. RM doesn't do a thing for me. He's got no hair on his face. Gini, I'd rather stare at the ocean view. ;) :D

Oops. Guess I'll have to look up Robert Mitchum on google to see who you're all talking about. I'm not big on knowing movie stars. They're mostly overrated anyway. ;)

Just 1/2 an hour more and I'm otta here! How 'bout another swamp thang for the road? Sure, don't mind if I do (seeing as it's a virtual swamp thang). :D

Gini, I was wondering if you knew anything about guinea pigs? I understand you have 3 cats, but for some reason I thought you might be an expert on guinea pigs......:rolleyes: ;) :p :D

Slick, not much of an ocean view from David's :rolleyes: hmmmm, Laurie speak 101.. do you know how to spell W-E-I-R-D? Who is Marsha?

[slick]

Sorry Laurie, it was in inside joke, "butt" you can ask Gini about it.:D

[Corinna]

Gheeshs things move swiftly here. I'm gone a couple hours and it seems like a month.
If you come to Glacier park mid Oct you may or may not get through on the sun hiway. depends on the snow fall it is usually gated and closed off by the end of the month they get anywhere from 25 - 180 feet during the winter. ERemember it is the rocky mtns. you can go to national park web sites and see pictures of the clearing of snow from April 2003 its just about the same every year.
Thunder road I remember and it was Robert Conrad who is the battery guy.

Laurie, Marsha is our glorious Pet of the Day. Check her out.
Don't you think Mario would like her?

[davidpizzica]

Hey girls! C'mon over to my house and I'll put Thunder Road on the vcr. Nikki & Daisy will join you. Since Pittsburgh doesn't have an ocean, I'll take Slick up to Mt. Washington where she can see the three rivers! BTW, Slick, you should see my moustache(sp)!

[slick]

I will if you keep your promise and show up at Gini's next July.

Mario and Marsha ?? :confused: :eek: I'm not sure about that.

Oh my, the Bailey's bottle is empty again!!! Better refill it.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Gosh, where did everyone go?
picks up note left on bar:

Well, gee whiz! Everyone's gone to David's to watch Thunder Road! Mario, did they forget to take you? Well, come on. We'll crank up the juke box and have our own party!

We can boogie woogie oogie til we just can't boogie no more!:D
