<hee-hee - sneaks in early to open bar>
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the dog days are the hottest time of the year. That certainly describes where I live right now.
Actually, the legend apparently stems from the dog star Sirius - which is in the northern sky this time of year.
Any suggestions for DOTD?

1/2 oz Grand Marnier
1 tsp Triple Sec
1 oz Orange Juice
Howwwwwwwwwwlllllllllllllllllll. Nothing like the dog days to get you howling. I'll take one of those drinks. That ought to make me howl even more. I'm at work and not having fun. Maybe that drink will help me forget where I am. Meant to add that I'm going to be very intersted in the thread title two weeks from now :D
Is it August? It's only in the 60s here. We are still waiting for summer to start. Been an unusually cool summer!
AHHHHH! Could do with less rain though. It's rained at least once a week every week since May!
Lunch time here. How about a chili dog and large order of onion rings and super large Cherry Limeade?
The cats would love their catnip tea warm today, please. It's cold in the house.
Hi, Mario. No there isn't a dog in here. Dog days is just an expression. Here sit beside me and drink your beer. I'll share my onion rings with you!:D
Moff, please let me come live there! It's been in the 90's for months here and horribly humid. This dog needs a change, that's for sure. I envy you. We've got a hurricane heading our way for the weekend, too. Supposed to hit Saturday a.m. around 1. Oh joy.
Who's counting??;)
There's two weeks to think about it-- five minutes before the bar opens to pick the winner.:rolleyes:
I do think that #68 will be a 'Blue' bar day......I want to entice the non drinking lurkers in.....
:D
Catland,
I knew that hidden key would come in handy..
:D
Satan's Whiskers for you???
DDM,
The worst part about drinking to forget where you are at is that you wake up with a head ache in the same place!!!!
Maybe we'll hire a Limo and go for a ride in two weeks?
DONE!
MOFF,
I think you could do better with your eating habits.
CHEESE ON THE DOG, Extra pickles and a squirt of spicy mustard.;) Hot onion rings and a cherry limeade.....
I have a confession to make....I ALWAYS type cheery limeade...
4 warm CNT's for the boys.. DONE!
And a beer for Mario..
DONE!
*sighs* Well, there goes my last pleasure. I can't even eat cyber food with out being fussed at. In real life I haven't had a hot dog, onion rings or even pop, for YEARS! It upsets my tummy! So much for fantasies!:eek: ;) :DQuote:

I'll fix you up Momo. Here in the Northwest we have the best onion for onion rings. Walla Walla sweets. They don't store well so you have to enjoy them while they are in season and then wait another year.Quote:

One batch of Walla Walla Sweet onion rings - DONE.
Richard - I'd love a Satan's Whiskers. :D and yes, we could abstain for one Thursday - lets see what the consensus is.
<starts singing "who let the dogs out">
No Mario - we're just kidding. Come have a beer with me.
Can I join in this week? I haven't in the parteeee mood lately but it's so hot here that all I can think of is slushies! :D
DDM: I feel your pain. I'm at work too....when will this nightmare end? Oh yeah, 13 yrs this month to retirement.
Catland: Thanks for opening the bar. I'm noticing that it seem to open earlier and earlier every week? :confused:
Hi MOFF: Did you get a PM from David??
Richard: The DOTD sound pretty harsh to me. I think I'll stick with a slushie. Ahhhh, brings back memories.
dukesdogmon come on over. I have a big yard. You could pitch a tent!
catland, thanks for the onion rings. I've never had walla walla ones before. They sure are BIG! and yummy!
Hi, slick! Nope! No PM from David p. I haven't even seen him around lately. Did you get one?:D
No, Mario, we aren't getting you a dog to ride as a horsie!
Yup, I'll forward it to you. Looks like we did good, girl!!Quote:

Argh! I could use a pitcher of the DOTD with the way work is going this week! Stupid bosses, misinformation and MEETINGS lots of meetings! Sigh, Remus is on edge too, probibly cause its so dern hot here. 100 degrees today!
Connie, sorry I didn't PM you right away, but I want to say THANK YOU for Dr. Mario!!! Maybe I should PM you and be all gushy about it,but I'm not the gushy type.That was so thoughtful of you and Slick to do this for me!!Maybe I'll treat you and Slick to a slushie. Both of you are real nice girls! (see, Slick? I called you a girl again!)Quote:

Do what I used to do.....eat lots and lots of bean burritos before going into the meeting......believe me they'll race through that agenda and cut the meeting time in half. :DQuote:

Serve me up one of the DOTDs too Richard!! This company move has been a lot more work than I thought it would be! I have so much actual work, that I haven't even had time to unpack my office! :rolleyes: So, I'm sitting among my forest of boxes and that mention of hotdogs is making me hungry! Actually, make it a polish sausage with ketchup, mustard and pickle relish. I also want a nice large side of onion rings!
It was so bloody hot over the weekend, that it did feel like the "dog days of summer", but luckily it has cooled down a bit. Overall, this has been a pretty mild summer for us!
No Mario, you can't lick the pickle relish off of my polish sausage...:rolleyes: LOL ;)
Hello everyonw.....I am so glad to see that the bar is open early. I can use it today. The manic next to me is riding high today....yesterday she was lower than low. I am looking for some stability.......
:D
I would love a DOTD and give mario a refill on me. I had to dig into the house fund because of a robbery from my back yard so I have cash to burn ..... :(
That's quite all right! No qushing required or needed! Slick gets all the credit.Quote:

Just be careful if Mario comes at you with the thermometer! You know which end he thinks those go in!!!!!!!:eek: :D
Connie, I promise I won't turn my back to him!!! lol lol Connie, I'm going to do my volunteering on saturday and it will give me a chance to show Dr. Mario off!Quote:

Slick's not a girl? I'm confuzzled. Probably too many of those drinks. Oh, just got back from the store. Anyone want a chocolate bar? I just had one and they are very tasty. It's a new one made by M&Ms. It's called M-azing. It's filled with mini crispy M&Ms. Chocolate to a woman is almost as good as something else :o You can guess what that is, if you like. I'm not saying anything else.
I'll go ahead and fill in as barkeep for the moment -
DDM - did you bring enough candy bars to share with the class?;)
David - you got your own Mario? How cool.:cool:
snappy - one DOTD for you - good to see you back.:D
Wolfy - a DOTD for you too.:D
Slick - LOL!:rolleyes: - no more burritos for you today.
DJF - a pitcher of DOTD's for you! :eek: :D
momo - told you those rings are the best.;)
DONE!!!
catland - thanks for the DOTD. It is hitting the spot. I better be careful though - got some websurfing to do later this evenng and don't want to over due on this - might get pulled over for
SUI :D
OK - bad/lame I know.....:)
I'm at work and just thought to come back here. Yes, there is plenty of chocolate for all! Enjoy. I even bought a few of the dark chocolate for those inclined :)
Let's see what Richard and Catland will do with this order....
I just came back from Dim Sum lunch and could sure use a Mango Bubble Tea. :D ;)
Yum! I love Dim Sum! Did you get a fortune cookie before you left the restaurant?Quote:

"Confusious say: man who stand on toilet...high on pot!"
LOL LOL :D
wolflady, that is so funny!
LOL LOL I'm full of it...uh, I mean them! :p Give me a few more DOTDs and I'll be rattling them off! LOLQuote:

Did someone say chocolate?? Just what I need...and perhaps a glass of godiva chocolate liqueur to go with it?? Yum!
Hi everybody, hope all are doing okay today! I am kind of sad, my grandson went home today, so he could register for school. The good thing is he is supposed to be back Friday! Yippee!
I want to try that DOTD, it sounds really good. Mario, of course will drink his usual beer with some cherries.
David, sounds like you got a fantastic gift! LOL, are you taking your Mario to the hospital with you? I think you should, just for luck!
That was really nice of you Slick and Moff, how sweet you are!
Willie:D
:D :D ROFLMAO!!! Next BBQ season I think we should all go out for Dim Sum or at least a meal at that restaurant Richard was talking about (Thai I think it was??). And next year when I come down I'm going to plan on two days for Dizzyland. :)Quote:

that's easy Slick. I'll just make up the tea, get a straw, and we'll let Mario blow bubbles into it.Quote:

Yes, yes! I second this! Can you imagine us at a restaurant together??!! :eek: That would be a riot!! :D
"Confusious say: man who run with untied shoelace - have bad trip"!!
Woof!
A DOTD, please!
And some nachos would be spectacular
:)
Willie, Dr. Mario just might be coming with me! I have to show him to a couple of people first! Willie, I'm starting to get overwhelmed by all of the kindness of every PTer here! I just can't thank them enough!Quote:

Hi Willie, Hi Miss Meow! **waves**
Catland: Very funny!!! :D Bubble Tea is an Asian drink that's kind of a slushy with tapioca pearls in the bottom. Mango is my favourite flavour.
David: don't blame me. She **points to Connie** puts ideas into my head. :D
LOL!! My neighbors did ask when the Third Annual will be: (so they can be out of town).Quote:

I can hear it now, maitre'd asks: "What is this group?" Oh, we are PET TALKERS" Maitre'd to waiter: "cut off the drinks to table #12."
A Dr. Mario - what a great idea - did you send a lot of diapers along with him? And does anyone know that right in the middle of surgery he is given to scratching under his arm and making outlandish sounds? Maybe Laurie needs to be sent up to be with David. She's the only one who can quiet Mario (a Dr. or not) down.
Satan's Whiskers..........not too sure about this one. I think I will go for a green slushie - especially on this hot August day.
(remember to never serve burritos at my BBQ - especially to Slick)
(remember to get package of fortune cookies for Karen)
A completely alcohol free Thursdays? I can do that - but if you cut out the onion rings I am going to rebel. And Mario isn't going to like doing without beer. Maybe we can get him a blueberry drink - he likes blueberries!
You guys are as bad as what was going on at work to day . Must be something in the air . We were all goofy as heck. It was my friday I can't say why the rest were nutty.
I'll take a diet lime please Richard..
Gini, he's wearing a washable diaper right now! If I bring him in, I'm afraid he'll take over the hospital!:eek:Quote:

Say david not to get you on a touchy subject but when is your new surjury date? I have a couplre of great cards for you . they say laughter is the best medicne well get ready to get well very very fast.
Hi Corinna, nice to see you here. The bar is very quiet tonight. I'm sure David will get back to you but in case you want the answer right away, the sir jury is August 18th. Don't know what time it is where you are but it's still rather early here. Are you going to stick around?
