Is it Thursdays #58 Yet?

I think you should go under the house with candles, holy water, and a 6-pack and discuss the situation with "skull of no one knows what it is". Mario would probably freak if you asked him to accompany you, right? But if he could put on a grass skirt and maybe do a dance while you did rites, "Oh Great Skull that clogs pipes, I command you to acknowledge that you are no longer a part of earthly life and must cross over to the pasture that awaits you.." then just yell "BE GONE!" Maybe tap its head a couple times (oh, that was a redundant thing there-"tap its head", its a skull (head) already!) I crack myself up!
You might also try to command it to stop with the spiders under the house already- "Like, NOT SCARY Mr. Scull! Clogs, scary. Spiders- awww, you can do better than that! Like talk or shake the house or something!"
Already 2 rolling rocks to the wind and building up courage to drive over and do the rites myself before something awful happens! How long is the drive from Ipswich, MA? I need a map quest here.

My husband would wake up and say what those two crazy women doing out there?

You are too funny, Could I just go over to the little door, and yell out be gone whatever kind of spirit you are!!??

[leslie flenner]

Just bend over to the little door! I forgot about that! Just yell "Be GONE" under the house and it's pretty much the same thing as a ritual to pass the poor thing over. Maybe you should wave your arms and hope for a clap of thunder after you yell it. But seriously, don't you kinda wanna remove it? Or would that be bad, bad, luck?
Once, when jan and I were looking for a reported kitten in an industrial park years ago, she, out there on her own one day, found a "bottle graveyard". It was literally about half an acre in the woods of old broken bottles. She, of course got all the neat ones! When she took me there a few days later, I found an intact cow or small horse skeleton in the woods. I took some bones cuz I thought they were "cool". A few weeks later, I noticed I'd been having a lot of plain ole' bad luck so it was suggested to me by someone to return the bones. this friend accompanied me out there and said some religious thing as I put them back and we hoped the gods would be glad and leave me alone! Well, we all have bouts of bad luck sometimes so I dunno if it was the bones or not but I felt much better returning them to whence they came!

You now know why I don't go to the basement......err the shop Taxidermy shop. I never know what is cooking on that stove .
About the plumbing being a plumbers daughter I had to get good as the adge holds true. The cobblers children have no shoes, we I now build things being married to a carpenter.
How about a diet lime and toast to woman!!!

[leslie flenner]

If this is true, let me know- I have a bit of a problem in my freezer! (No, NOT a pet!). If you are joking, let me know! If you can build something I can live in for free- the carpenter that you are or could be... let me know!

[trayi52]

Sounds good, Corinna. I think we women can do anything. I have had to take up a lot of the chores around the house that my husband would normally do, but he is sick, so it does fall to me. Hey, I have even plumbes toliets!

To women, everywhere!

Gee, Willie! I'm glad sirrahned joined! I don't feel so alone in this women's world!

[trayi52]

We like having a man around, really we do, David. I'm glad Debbies husband joined too. Whew, it would be a freaking miracle if my hubby joined!! I mean he is not an animal lover. He only loves Charlie, but not my cats or my dogs!

First word out of his mouth and all the women on here would have to kill him! LOL, he just never grew up with pets. Funny when we got married, his family had a cat that stayed outside. Her name was pus, I took one look at that cat, and told them "you better change HIS name to Tom, because this is a boy!! They just couldn't believe it, so I had to show them where they went wrong. Funnnnnny!!! LMAO!!

Willie, you are welcome to borrow the mattress to take under the house when you do the last rites - if you wish.

Might make it easier on your knees.

Hello, people. Let me tell you some toilet repair stories. I used to be the maintenance man at a health spa with 54 units...

Can I put some Ray Charles music on the jukebox? I still have the first 45 I bought.

"Unchain my heart...Honey, let me go...unchain my heart...you don't love me no mo..."

Guess there will be some reissue CDs out soon.

Another favorite:

"You don't know the one...who dreams of you at night...who longs to kiss your lips...who longs to hold you tight...to you, I'm just a friend...that's all I've ever been...You don't know me."

When I was a freshman in college, the frat house next door was playing "Busted" over and over on an outdoor PA. They had constructed a giant brassiere on their front lawn.

"Got a big stack a bills that gets bigger each day...the landlord just hauled my belongings away...Things could get worse, but just how I can't say...cause I'm busted (do, do...do, do...do, doo-doo-dooooo."

A toast to mortality! One could do worse than to inspire millions of people, make the world a better place, be praised when you go. Best wishes and regards to Ronnie and Ray!

Willie, no killing here, I'd welome him with open arms! another man on PT! Glorious!

[mahayana]

Honestly, the first time I met Willie's husband, he had a whole zoo. Not sure he thought of them as pets, but if sis would list the kinds of animals he has owned, youall would be amazed!

[lbaker]

* man, and people think I'M weird *

[trayi52]

Yeah, he has owned a lot of different animals, for sure! Buffalo, deer, raccoons, some sort of fox that turned white in the winter, lynx, Mario of course, a reeces monkey, that liked to do weird things to himself when there was women around, kind of embarressing to be around Clyde! I can't remembe all the others he has had. Oh we use to have a skunk too, quail, peacocks, peasants of all different kinds. There are probably more. I just don't remember them all.

Oh, he used to own three beagle hounds, their names were dog, dog and dog! Oh yes, he owned some rabbits and ducks too.

LOL, as you can see, he really knows how to name dogs!

If I'm wrong...please give me ample punishment! YOUR HUSBAND had buffalo, deer, arctic fox, lynx, MARIO, raccoons etc.etc.etc....and doesn't care for animals? Hmmm! Where on earth did he grow up, cuz I'd sure like to be there now! That sounds to me like HEAVEN and then some! I love nature...(can ya'll tell)? *GRIN.... BIG GRIN*
