Thursday's #67. The dog days of August

[catland]

<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?

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

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!

[dukedogsmom]

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.



I do think that #68 will be a 'Blue' bar day......I want to entice the non drinking lurkers in.....



Catland,

I knew that hidden key would come in handy..


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!

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.

One batch of Walla Walla Sweet onion rings - DONE.


Richard - I'd love a Satan's Whiskers. 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!
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?
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.

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?

No, Mario, we aren't getting you a dog to ride as a horsie!

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!)

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.
