Thursday 135 - The Little Shop(ping) Horrors?

[RICHARD]

Hey RICHARD, I tried! But Big Ben didn't do his job monday night.

Alright, you get a pass!

KK,

More "shopping for the people who have everything?"

One Irish coffee and a pencil and pad....For the list....

DONE!

WL,

You can always use the "they lost my baggage and your gifts were in there" excuse.......then have the airline find your baggage in late January....that should give you some time...

One Irish Cafe?

DONE!

Corrina....
11 degrees and shorts???

I'll trade you a cup of soup for a hot cocoa?


DONE?

[Lady's Human]

Barkeep, my suggestion for a DOTD is a dirty girl scout:

1 cup hot cocoa
1 shot peppermint schnapps.

That will get everyone going on the alcohol, and keep hot cocoa at the bar for those who don't want anything alcoholic.

Mario, you can let Lady out, but make sure you listen for her at the door, she has very little belly fuzz and gets cold easily...No fair getting back at her for chasing you last week, that was my fault.

Thank you sir!

Hey everyone!!!,

I've got some dirty Girl Scouts here behind the bar!!!!

DONE!


I'll keep an eye on Mario and Lady for you..

[Corinna]

Soup coming up . Hey that dirty girl scout is what I call an Irish velvety. Really the only mixed drink I drink an occasional HBR.

[davidpizzica]

Corinna, I can use a carport! Also Corinna, if you can PM your e-mail address I'll e-mail pics of the car. With my webtv system I can't post pictures. Mmmmmm soup!

[Lady's Human]

Turkey pot pie and hot biscuits anyone?

One Dirty Girl Scout for me, barkeep.

Just got the fire going, it's nice and toasty inside (supposed to be in the 20s tonight here)

[Corinna]

The 20's man I'd love that we are suppose to get single digits tonight. I have to get the garage cleaned so I can get my car in so son in law can fix it this weekend. I hate not having my car.
How about a HBR it's close enough to christmas.

[trayi52]

Hi everybody! How are you all doing?

Congratulations on the new car, David!

I'll take a DOTD, and go sit by the fire, it's cold outside, of course not as cold as it is in some places, but it feels it to me.

Mario, are you staying in the warm, baby? Drink you some hot chocolate and stay warm.

A toast to the birthday girl... Johanna!


I've got home-made Turkey soup as well as Ham & Bean soup. Perfect for this chilly weather, anyone want a bowl or two? One of the things I love about hosting Thanksgiving at our home... We get the leftovers to make soup!




I've been sick as a dog all week and I go back to work tomorrow (today)... wish me luck!

[trayi52]

Sounds like a great idea to me, Kay. Lets do it! Turkey soup sounds good, and it is cold outside. Bet Mario could go for some of that too.

Willie

[trayi52]

Kay, forgot to ask if you were feeling better?

I think maybe we should toast your birthday as well, you did just have your 18th birthday!! So I want to wish you a very special belated Happy Birthday!

Willie

Turkey soup or potpie, ham & bean soup!! Oh YUMMY! I just love leftovers and loooove soup. Hmmm Dirty Girl Scout or HBR? Decisions decisions Someone else will have to bring in the logs for the fire. I tried on Sunday afternoon then tripped over poor Badger with an armfull of logs and busted myself up big time - stitches, bruises, scrapes ~ YOWCH! I'll stick to bringing in "Squaw Wood" if you don't mind I really dislike shopping at regular stores and abhor malls. I do like museum gift shops and working so close to the Mall in D.C. (this is NOT a shopping Mall, it's in the midst of most of the museums) I have lots of choices. Flower shops are good for fun things too. Food is always good. Another business trip for me next week. American Geophysical Union (AGU) is meeting in San Francisco! California here I come

[davidpizzica]

Allow me to bring in the wood for the fire, Laurie. I'll try not not to make too roaring for Lady. Besides it'll give me an appetite for those leftovers! Well' I'm off to drive my car around.

[Corinna]

David great looking car!!! I need a DLC please.
Look out California Lauries on the move again. Are we going to get more pic's of PT' ers in Hi jinx again!

[K9soul]

Ok yesterday Richard was asking about jokes and I thought since I have never posted one I'd keep an eye out for any. Well lo and behold I have one . Anyway, keep in mind this told to me by a guy .

--

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.


The waitress asks for their orders. The man says, "A hamburger, fries
and a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?" "I'll have the
same," says the ostrich.


A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will be
$9.40 please," and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the
exact change for payment.


The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A
hamburger, fries, and a coke." The ostrich says, "I'll have the same."
Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.


This becomes routine until, the two enter again.


"The usual?" asks the waitress.


"No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato, and
salad," says the man. "The same," says the ostrich.


Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will be $32.62."
Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places
it on the table.


The waitress can't hold back her curiosity any longer. "Excuse me, sir.
How do you manage to always come up with the exact change out of your
pocket every time?"


"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and
found an old lamp. When I rubbed it a Genie appeared and offered me two
wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I
would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would
always be there."


"That's brilliant!" says the waitress. "Most people would wish for a
million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want
for as long as you live!"


"That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the
exact money is always there," says the man.


The waitress asks, "But, sir, what's with the ostrich?"


The man sighs, pauses, and answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick
with long legs who agrees with everything I say."
