Thursday 192- THe last Thursday of the 2006

[cyber-sibes]

... I'm bringing a big urn of mulled cider out for folks to enjoy while watching the sunset ...

Mmmm, mulled cider sounds very good! Mario, can you dip me a cup of that mulled cider without getting into it up to your elbows? No, Mario, the saying is "More fun than a barrel of monkeys", not "more fun with a monkey in the barrel"

Dorothy, you'd better check if Rosie the Maid came along with the Jetsons, I have a feeling we're gonna need help with the clean-up after the party, especially with Mario acting so silly!

[RICHARD]

RICHARD, is Orc running down? I guess he's walking a little slower. I'll make a fun trip to the L&F to get batteries for his remote and the smoke detectors in here. (and home!)

[Twisterdog]

Ok ... dumb question here, and I know I'm crashing the party ...

I've opened these "Thursday" threads once in a while, and I hate to sound like an ignoramous ... but what exactly ARE these?

Is there some hidden meaning? A conspiracy to take over the world, spoken in code, of course?

Or just one of those, "You had to be here from the beginning" kind of things?

Just curious. Please don't break my kneecaps for entering the sacred clubhouse without knowing the secret password.

[Lady's Human]

Twister, just a repost.....


To explain (or attempt to explain) this madhouse to the newbies:

Take your average streetcorner bar. Fill it with Pet Talkers, and a barkeep who has an amazing ability to come up with ANY ingredient you can name.

Take one monkey (Mario), a dog(Lady), and a little orange kitten (Who STILL doesn't have a name!), and throw them into the mix.

In the summertime, we have a cabana, but the Cabana boy is an Orc, and he hauls firewood for us in the winter. The remote control you see Mario playing with isn't for the TV, it's for Orc's electronic collar. With the exception of the times Mario has it with new batteries, the collar is completely humane, so no worries.

Add to the bar a L+F, which is basically a black hole that all sorts of odd material falls into. DO NOT , I repeat DO NOT go in there by yourself. Some people (Richard) have gone in there and not been heard from for weeks!

Admission and drinks cost one clean joke on entry.

Feel free to join in the chaos!

Champagne anyone?

[lbaker]

And Twister, if any of THAT makes sense then you belong in this loony tunes bin There is only one rule, LEAVE THE ATTITUDE AT THE DOOR No arguments, no politics, doghouse it is but love is where it's AT baby.

[wombat2u2004]

Nope....no sunset here, it was bloody raining again.
I did however, have a beer
Wombat

[lbaker]

OH, and another thing... sometimes we bring in regional food (I almost typed in FOOLS but actually that works too) Slick will bring in some Canadian smoked salmon and The Mayor will contribute maple syrup. In the summer I will bring Chesapeake Bay Crab cakes and Silver Queen Corn. Oggie Flute has mahhhvelous food from Down Under and my goodness!! the things we have from those crazy Europeans ~ well my dear, some of than Haggis stuff you don't even want to hear about HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

[RedHedd]

I hope we didn't scare Twister off! The L&F is the Lost & Found. Some of the stuff that is found in there can be quite scary and I'm not sure how useful. Like others have said, some have gone in, not to emerge for weeks. Sometimes we send Orc in after them.

It's the last day of 2006. It was a very good year - I'm still alive so that makes it a good year!

I plan to spend a quiet New Year's Eve at home with the cats. The dude I'm dating has other ideas, but I'm just not up for a big blow out this year. Does that mean I'm getting old or just comfortable with being the age I am? Whatever; I'm not going to worry about it.

For now a cuppa coffee as it's still breakfast time here in dreary gray San Francisco.

Gosh, that is the best darn explanation I have read about Thursdays. Thanks, LH and LB.

Yup -just come here and relax - leave your cares at the door - have a drink or two - blueberry tea or a hair raising lemon drop.

Sit quietly by the fire or dance your feet off with Mario - he loves to dance.
Forgive him, sometimes he wears funny clothing.

You never know what is going to happen next around here so you have to drop by often to get the gist of the place.

But whatever you do - don't try to explain Thursdays to a Non-Pet Talker - they just don't get it.

So 2006 - full of ticks - GOODBYE!!!

And 2007 - it's going to be heaven - WELCOME!!!

Sure Mario, I would love to dance with you - but can you put the little orange kitty down - it doesn't like to dance!

[lbaker]

HI REDHEDD!! I'm a definate for SanFran in February ~ I'll pm you and Karen (WolfLady). See you then my dears!! WOOHOOO!!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Or and there is an orc too. Don't ask me about that one. I still haven't figured out what it is!

Hi, Mario! Did Gini wear you out dancing? Is that even possible?
Take a break and help me start setting out the party food and stuff!!!
Yes, I think there will be party hats for those who want to wear them. You get first pick!!!

[RedHedd]

HI REDHEDD!! I'm a definate for SanFran in February ~ I'll pm you and Karen (WolfLady). See you then my dears!! WOOHOOO!!

Yippee Aai-A Ki-Oh (or however that is spelled! ) It will be SO good to see you again!

[RICHARD]

So that's where I got infested, Thanks Gini!

One cuppa for Redd..DONE!

LB,
Don't start with the haggis again, I think we hurt Killearn kittien feelings last time!

Welcome Wombat..

One clean joke please! And another beer?

DONE!

LH, well, aLMOST ANYTHING.....I CAN'T GET MORE MONEY!

i'LL DO A CHAMPAGNE WITH YA...dONE!

MOFF,
