Thursday #166 I get no kicks from champagne..

[RICHARD]

But I am getting a kick enjoying the World Cup..


I am putting together a team...

Mario is the goalie, Opposable thumbs, ya know?
Possum, Lady and the Orange Kitty and the Edster are mid fielders and my strikers....

I"m putting together some drinks so .....

The bar is open and the big screen is gonna be on thru out the weekend!!

Yes, Orc.. You can play too!

[DJFyrewolf36]

My three would like to voulenteer as spectators...so long as the stadium provides food lol

I'll take whatever you have. I gotta be up for work in 4 hours...and I cant sleep

[Killearn Kitties]

Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all ..... but I'll take whatever's going anyway! I'll keep it in the fridge for lunchtime. Another beautiful day. I will need a cool drink by then and you will be asleep, bartender.

Don't know that Sus has ever been in the bar, but Bella would make a great referee. My Samantha is a wonderful footballer. Count her in! Daisy makes a good sub.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I have two soccer-fans here! Snoopy likes to make goals, and Zazou is great in getting the ball around the house!!
For me, let's have a margherita, without alcohol please!!

[Barbara]

I'm afraid Tigris plays tennis and Filou is better in wrestling - but they'll be happy to host some games.
I can't have a drink now- I'm still at California time and I never drink at breakfast

[Lady's Human]

Don't know if I am going to be able to get online from home, so I'm going to take advantage of my line at work to say hi.

The Susquehanna and Chenango rivers are expected to crest this afternoon an average of 20' above flood (yes, that's feet, not inches). There are at least two bridges in the area out, and at last report a house was floating down the river. While we're on high ground at home, our DSL is evidently flooded out.

Our driveway is headed into our back yard, (literally) as the culvert under our driveway got plugged with sediment and I can't do anything about it until the water level goes down.

Anyone got any gopher wood for sale? How about some tape measures with Cubit markings on them?

If not, just get me a large pitcher of Irish Coffee and a raft,

[smokey the elder]

Try googling it or E-bay! "RIGHT! What's a cubit?" from Bill Cosby's routine.

I hope you don't have too much property damage. Where I live it hasn't been too bad. I feel bad for the folks in DC and on the DelMarVa peninsula; they're getting hammered. Too bad we can't ship some of this rain to uabassoon or djfyrewolf in Arizona.

Anyway, I'll have coffee spiked with Bailey's since it's raining for a change here.

The creek by my house is over the banks big time and areas all around are being evacuated. Dams are threatening to burst and all he%# is breaking loose. Washington DC is in a "state of emergency". This is rain folks, not a hurricane or blizzard. But if one isn't used to it the thought of evacuating a houseful of dogs and cats is scary. Actually, the thought is scary even if you ARE used to it. While I wait to hear the latest I'll get into the World Cup Thursday spirit, put my cheerleading skirt on and look in the L&F for some pom poms. GO TEAM I read the following and was reminded of a certain lunch with three friends at Laguna Beach a few months back

Break out the Moet. I feel like getting REAL drunk right about now. Why??? Because I can!!! Nothing like a good, cyber-hangover to build one's character.

I'd like to propose a toast to Kimmy and Andrew on their wedding this weekend.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Wow, looks like I'm all prepared for Thursdays this week. I've got a raft right here for LH and some pom poms right here for Laurie!

The battery is even charged on the air thingy to blow the raft up, but even if it wasn't, I'm sure Orc has enough hot air to fill it.

Pom poms are left over from when I was a cheerleader at another cyber bar I used to hang out in. Ended up going down a dragstrip, sitting on the back of a convertible, waving pom poms freely in the air with 3 other girls. I think I even have a picture. Drat, I just remembered that was before my digi am and the printed pic is in a box in one of my Mother's closets in Wisconsin. Maybe when we're up there this weekend I can dig it out....but which box to start with?

[catland]

Yikes - try to stay dry east coasters.

Can Sidney be goalie? He's getting wide enough to cover the goal.

Aha! So that WAS you in the parade here in San Francisco on Sunday Are you sure those were real girls? Lots of pom-poms and some with not much else on This IS San Francisco - Gawd how I LOVE this City!

I sure do hope Shrub makes note of all this rain. The scientists are saying Al Gore got it right in his movie - global warming is real. Perhaps the current deluge will convince him that we need to do something.

Ok, no more politics from me - let's celebrate Kimmy and Andrew's nuptials this Saturday. In fact, let's continue our sunshine dance from last week and a bottle of Dom!

[Killearn Kitties]

Sounds as though more than just Kimmy and Andy need our sunshine dance! How awful that so may are facing all that rain and possible evacuation. Hope the water subsides soon for you all.

Now, if everyone could just form a circle in the middle of the floor ...

[momoffuzzyfaces]

HaHa! I found the right bar this week.
A cherry limeade for me, please? I'm still in a funk because I have no car. Feels like being under house arrest!!! Oh, well, at least I'm safe and dry!!!

Hope all you on the East coast stay safe and dry!!! I've been watching the news. They've been picking people in PA up off roofs!!! Sheesh!!!

[slick]

Good morning everyone. Yesterday was busy so couldn't get away to enjoy some Phun. I'm just going to grab some airborne and settle down on the couch. I've got a bad cold again....just run down I suppose. Wake me up if I start snoring OK??
