And I said, "What about Weekend at Bernie's?" She said, "I think I remember the film, and as I recall, I think we both freakin' hated it" and I said, "Well then, that's one thing we got."
Step mom is on the phone in the next office telling a story about a friend who made a pit stop in a port-o-potty on a golfcourse. While 'resting' he felt something stike his butt. Thinking splashback he was a bit freaked and hurried to wipe but when he did he discovered it was a frog that had leapt from the pit. I'm afraid I'd have been standing
I always know where my sandals are, but that's because I use them as slippers all year long. Speaking of that, it's probably about time to go buy myself a new pair of sandals (since I use them so much, they tend to only last about a year)

Hokay. When I discovered the bathing suit didn't fit, it was too late to go to LLBean to get one. Here, I tried JCPenney's: no no no. They had one I liked (but too small), everything else was what I call mother-in-law-sit-by-the-pool bathing suits in very flowery patterns. Macy's had actual swimsuits, lots that I liked, so I bought a Reebok one on 25% off sale.

My problem was timing. I discovered the problem 48 hours and 300 miles from when I needed it (and 30 minutes fromwhen I was hitting the road).

"Hong Kong on Tuesday joyfully welcomed the return of a giant inflatable rubber duck, which drew tens of thousands of visitors before it was abruptly deflated for maintenance for almost a week. The southern Chinese city has taken the 16.5-metre-tall (54-feet) yellow inflatable duck, conceived by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, to its heart since it was towed into the harbour on May 2 to cheering crowds."

"Duck mania has gripped the city ever since, with locals and tourists packing the streets near where it is moored to catch a glimpse of it. Stalls and shops throughout the city sold replicas and restaurants created special duck dishes."

"So many were disconsolate when the cheerful giant-sized bath toy was transformed into a deflated disc resembling a floating fried egg last Wednesday. "It went for a body check and for maintenance, now all the work is finished and it will see everybody again," Andrew Yeung, advertising and promotions manager of shopping mall Harbour City which is organising the exhibit, told AFP."

I'd like to see some metropolitan area with a large bay (or harbor) deploy a duck in "tip-up" position. Then all you would see is the ass-end of a duck pointed toward the sky as it floats to-and-fro. #ButThatsJustMe

So this image in my head of the Friar on a stool under a single spotlight, tuxedo tie undone, double shot in one hand and the mic in the other crooning "set 'em up Joe" pleases me probably more than it should.
And right at the end, he lights a cig, takes a long drag, and let's it out slow as the spotlight fades to black. Tell me you wouldn't pay to see it.
- MoTO #TeamMonique
He sings, "Mack the Knife" and all of a sudden Stephen Mack is in the next spotlight *sorry, I promoted myself to general director of your head images*
- Janet:#TeamMonique
oh uh, the Frair just tossed the tie and his tux jacket on the stage and started undoing shirt buttons. I think the bartender should have cut him off after that first double.
- Greg GuitarBuster
I'm gonna have interesting dreams tonight now ;-)
- Heleninstitches
He's now singing "Suspicious Minds" in the cabaret of my mind
- Pete #TeamMonique
In the smoky venue, LB, Helen and I are in strapless ball gowns singing back-up vocals and snapping our fingers to the beat.

Please don't bring up that whole licking nipples on the beach thing again. I'm sure someone will go and dredge it up out of the FF archives if we talk about it too much. :(

*can't stop imagining the Friar doing a short Soundgarden medley for an encore*

And now...special guest joining the stage with the Friar...Pat Boone!
- Bubba was a rollin stone
Wayne Newton in my scenario. Accompanied by Joe Silence.
- MoTO #TeamMonique
Wayne doesn't have the theological chops to share the stage with Senor Friar.
- Bubba was a rollin stone
well neither does Pat. but in Vegas Cool Mode, Wayne is part of the pantheon.
- MoTO #TeamMonique
Oh. Vegas Cool Mode is in alpha right now with a release date of 2015. Guess I'm not one of the cool kids to have that one yet.

It didn't look or taste particularly oatmeal-like. They looked like chocolate chip cookies. Everyone thought they were chocolate chip cookies. Then we bit into them. :/

Too bad I can't sit at my desk for more than an hour at a time due to the pain. EVENTUALLY I'll be able to get back to music, I suppose.

It is now 10:23 AM. Already done: peanut butter and banana smoothie, dog walked 1.25 mi, and discussed vital life stuff with m'girl. Currently working on laptop to make room for Mint 13. While waiting for deleting files and defrag, I'm working on jQuery. I'm almost TOO productive. Somebody STOP ME!

Always make sure you have at least 3 of those things at all times. One more than one occasion, Lexy dropped hers out in public somewhere, and we didn't notice until she started screaming about it later (after we'd left that particular area). The little clips that clip them on their clothes are helpful, but not infallible.
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
Yeah, we only had two (one of which is reserved for bedtime use without a cord), and forgot the other one once when we left in the car. We went back for it. And then we bought more, so now I'm making sure there's always spares in the diaper bag.
- Jandy
Barry's right. Audrey used to do that and Rochelle would call it The Gravity Game. 'Nope! We're not playing The Gravity Game!'
- Akiva
Akiva - with Lexy (and many of the other young'uns I've seen), the gravity game was more about throwing cups and/or toys on the floor. The pacifier was usually more "I'm temporarily done with this, so I'll spit it out"
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
"But then I want it back in 1.7 seconds."
- Jandy
from iPhone
Well, yeah, obviously, Jandy. :) But with the toys it was always "I'm going to throw this on the floor and watch it all the way down; then scream until Mommy or Daddy picks it up." It's a subtle difference, but, with Lexy at least, it was there.
