About last night

After Dvl and I finished chatting last night we decided that it wouldn't be prudent for her to continue to refer to me as Dr. Boz, but it would be perfectly acceptable if she still thought of me as Dr. Boz.
It was a beautiful moment, we don't want to spoil it.

Friday Favorite Five

name your five favorite one hit wonders!

i'll be in the charlotte, nc area this weekend. if anyone will be in the vicinity and would like to play hopscotch, or perhaps duel in some chinese jumprope, or go toe to toe in some wickedly fast double dutch, give me a holla!

Belle and Jonnie's Word of the Day

From the Urban Dictionary -

I chose Trucker Love.
Do I really need a reason for choosing this? Trucker Love, folks. Trucker. Loooove.
I love it so much I recorded my pronunciation of it for the entire free world to hear, but apparently my voice is too 13-year-old-phone-sex-operator for Urban Dictionary to handle because it isn't showing. Bastards. Don't they know I'm a role model?

Belle and Jonnie's Word of the Day

From the Urban Dictionary -

I chose Skiing, not the most original thing in there, but the first definition was worded so elegantly, I couldn't resist.

There's another communal blog out there.

It's called More Reservoir Than Tarantino, but it's okay because Belle's baby's future daddy is a contributor.

One of These Days...

I just submitted RW and a bunch of individual blogs to the Internet Archive for crawling and saving.

This is an ambitious project (with mixed results) to archive the whole freaking web at various points in time...it's like mega terrabytes of data and it's all well protected and regularly migrated as well as copied and kept in different countries around the world.

So in a thousand years or so, when researchers are looking at how people used to practice the Cincinnati Steamer at the dawn of the 21st century, Belle will get proper credit for practically inventing it.

And Boz will be rightfully worshipped as a God.
And I will go down in history as the first Amish blogger.

ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT US?

I came across this, and I am wondering if we have made our first enemy. Just becuase Jonnie is obssessed with his pool, I am a raging alcoholic, belle is all about the sheen, and we might take one too many quizzes, I don't feel we are garbage.

Big In Germany

Hasselhoff claims he had hand in Berlin Wall falling

"David Hasselhoff has complained to museum curators after finding his photo absent in a collection of memorabilia about the fall of the Berlin Wall."



"He said he felt he had moved people on both sides of the wall, although he admitted hardly any of the East Germans could speak English. He said: "I find it a bit sad that there is no photo of me hanging on the walls in the Berlin Museum at Check-Point Charlie."

"'After my appearance I hacked away at pieces of the wall that had the black, red and yellow colours of the German flag on it. I kept the big piece for myself and gave the smaller pieces to colleagues at Baywatch.'"

"Hasselhoff said he doesn't mind that Americans make fun of his popularity in Germany and says he feels it is his second homeland."

Another damn quiz, but this one is relevant, at least to Jonnie and Belle

Lightning is the cool pony ... right???



Lightning is an upbeat and capricious pony. Possessed of a ready wit and a sharp mind, he often finds it hard to keep his mind on the task at hand. He loves suprises, especially if he's the one springing them!

Quiz link ... HERE.

Answer Me These Questions Three:

(aka. Thursday 3)

1. Past, present or future... what is the best Christmas gift ever?

2. What’s something done by strangers that annoys you beyond belief?

3. You already have socks on your feet, and you now realize that you only have the following two choices for footwear: Tevas -or- Birkenstocks. What do you do?


(As in weeks prior, a super silly amount of thanks, admiration and other such validation goes out to Andrew at NineMileDetour for writing two of the three questions this week... visit him and give him love (or call him on his shit, whichever you like). Sharing is caring, people. Also, thanks to BenBen for the other question -- who, if/when he sees this i suspect will exclaim “OMG! OMG!” and mutter something about a time machine and gorgonzola cheese.)

Triple eff (favorite friday five- belated)

Since I was unable to post last Friday, here is the belated question for last week:

Name your 5 favorite television characters of all time (no animals or cartoons).

I also wanted to say that I am very distraught at the loss of our lone pure redhead. I guess she must have discovered my dirty little secret.

mike, thanks for the good times in the hot tub.

quick x-mas in june list:

* unique pez dispenser(s)
* supply of fun dip
* all flavors of big league chew
* invader zim wristband
* water balloons

In other news ...

Blogger is still acting up and is randomly changing back and forth between the old and new template.

As you have probably noticed zann and mike have left the blog. They both contributed a lot to the blog and it's sad to see them go, but as they both said it was time for them to move on.

Monique kindly offered to fill in on the xmas in june gift exchange, but as I said in the previous post it was easier to straighten out than I thought it would be.
Thanks Monique your offer was greatly appreciated, and please continue to lurk as much as you want, who knows you may be the next person to see Jonnie's little pony as he saunters down the hall half asleep and buck naked on his way to the shower.

For now eight looks like a good number and I think we should hold off on any new members until after Xmas ... in June.

Anything on anyone else's mind?

Xmas in June Updated list

I've redone the xmas list and there weren't as many changes as I thought.

Dvl, Marci, Mad, Jonnie, and Belle keep the same names as before.

Also known widely as the Fire Bird, the phoenix is a profound symbol of life and rebirth. It has a life cycle of 500 to 600 years and after that amount of time, it sets itself on fire and dies in the flames. Then, after three days, it rises again from the ashes. It is a completely benign creature who lives in dew. It is said that the phoenix has a beautiful melodious song which grows ever more mournful as its life comes to an end. It is also a symbol of the sun and immortality.

Humans find themselves unable to lie while in a Griffin's presence. The griffin is also said to be fierce and untamed. It was a protector against evil and people often wore talismans of a griffin's claw to protect them from demons. Griffins were often used as transport for the gods. They were also reputed to swoop down from the mountains on occasion and pick up goats and small horses and bring them back to their nests for their young.

Just when I thought today was totally in the shitter, I get a link to Craigslist where a co-worker has penned the following personal ad:

"You will offend me by doing something which annoys me. I will throw pickles at your head. You will cry. I will laugh at you. We will embrace, dive onto the futon and make hot monkey love. I will promise never to throw pickles at you again. You will apologize for annoying me. I will burp. Loudly. You will wake up in my muscular arms. We will drink coffee and coo at each other. You will do something trivial which annoys me. I will throw extra-crispy French fries at your heaving bosom. You will cry. I will tell you that these French fries are trans-fat free. This will reassure you. We will dive onto the futon and make hot monkey love. I will eat the French fries."

(Thanks to D, for the pick-me-up that I so greatly needed)

It's unanimous

Everyone loves the new template.
What a load off of my mind. I thought for sure some of you wouldn't like it.

Could this be the new template

Any suggestions, comments, threats?

Answer Me These Questions Three:

(aka. Thursday 3)

At this very moment, what is your:

1. Favorite song?

2. Favorite scent?

3. Favorite quote?


(Humble apologies as to the crappiness of these questions this week - Andrew at NineMileDetour was much too busy to do my homework today and so I had to do it myself. *grumble*)

IN HONOR OF FREE BEER THURSDAY:

I have always wanted to start my own cult so people could freely worship me, give me money, and to help me avoid paying taxes.... but as normal with all of my good ideas, someone beat me to it. Here are the commandments of the perfect cult, brought to you by the geniuses over at the beer church.

1. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
This means that it is okay to like wine, or whiskey, or what have you, but you must love Beer above all others.

2. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image."
Remember those hats that were vaguely popular back in the 70’s? The hats that were made of macramé and old beer cans? Don’t do that.

3. "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain."
No beer bashing. Never say things like, "fuck beer" or "beer sucks." Also, try to refrain from dissin’ on beers that you yourself would not chose to drink. For instance, you may not like Hamms, but that does not mean it sucks. It simply means that you don’t like it. Someone else does. All beers have their place. Just because it’s place is not in your fridge, that doesn’t mean you should call it names. That creates bad beer karma. An example: Upon first tasting a premium American lager, a famous English humorist once said, "Put it back in the horse!" Not long after that, while adventuring in New Guinea, he found himself stripped naked, lathered in honey, tied to a pole and fed to vicious hordes of fire ants for the amusement of a native tribe. Fire ants go for the "soft" tissue first. Ouch.

4. "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."
There are two reasons why you should not work on Sunday: Hangovers and the NFL.

5. "Honour thy father and thy mother:"
I grew up around Seattle. That means my Dad had to choose between being a Rainier man, or a Oly man. My Dad was a Rainier man. I respect that. My Mom sometimes adds a couple pinches of salt to a glass of draught beer. She doesn’t really have a reason, she just likes it that way. That’s cool. And if your parents don’t drink beer, it's okay to pity them as long as you honor them by having a cold one in their name!

6. "Thou shalt not kill."
Do not waste beer. We all joke about "party fouls," but truthfully we should morn the loss of a perfectly good beer.

7. "Thou shalt not commit adultery."
In short, this means that you should never aspire to be President. That station in life will open you up to far too much scrutiny. No job in the world is tougher to do, and no job will expose you to such high levels of stress. It therefore follows that no job will make you want a beer more than being President. Also, since beer is easier to obtain when you are a person of such significant power, it is a bizarre twist of fate that being President so seriously hampers your ability to drink freely. Something as simple as drinking a beer in the Oval Office will likely cause a hyper-political media backlash and you will be forced to apologize to a nation of ungrateful people who likely would have done the exact same thing given the opportunity.

8. "Thou shalt not steal."
This one is pretty obvious. Don’t steal someone else’s beer. Always share the last bit in the pitcher evenly. When splitting a 6 pack with someone, don’t drink extra fast just so you can have 4 beers. Respect your fellow human being’s appreciation of beer.

9. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."
This means that you should always invite, or at least advise, your neighbors when you have a party.

10. "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, nor anything that is thy neighbour's."
There is no reason to be jealous of, or to harbor ill will for your neighbor just because he has beer. You can have beer too. Every grocery store and every convenience store has got beer for sale to the public, and you are free to go there and get some beer of your own. However, if your neighbor has got a stainless steel Snap-On Beer Fridge and a urinal in his carpeted garage, nobody will blame you for being jealous.

    Birthday in may, xmas in june… can it get any better?! YES! America in july! (and august… and september…)

    So I bought plane tickets today and now I’m officially scared to death! Anybody got tips against the fear of flying? Well, apart from drugs?
    And no, don’t tell me that I should relax because there are more people killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes. (dunno if that’s true, I doubt it but well, I just read it… and now I’m afraid of donkeys too).

    Well, since this is my first visit to the states ever, I did a little research on the internet and gathered some facts about america and its inhabitants. That’s what I found out:

    - About a third of all Americans flush the toilet while they're still sitting on it.

    - Most American car horns honk in the key of F.

    - There are more plastic flamingos in America than real ones.

    - One of every 11 boxes of cereal sold in the U.S. is Cheerios.

    - 36% of Americans say that God has spoken to them.


    That’s all I need to know, huh? Or anything else?

    People actually link to us

    And I don't mean ex house members who have forgotten to take us off their lists, but people who really have no reason to they just do.
    I can think of two off hand.
    Mands
    and
    Nancy

    Are there any others out there?

    favorite time-wasting websites?



    i'm really bored at work right now. i was just digging through my brain, trying to remember all the websites i like to visit, and i thought it'd be a good idea to learn what everyone's favorite sites are. what a glorious bonding experience it could be~!

    so post your number 1 link (sans porn) in the comments... or links 1-20, cuz i get REALLY bored, especially on saturday mornings when i'm the pretty much the only blogger around. OMG KILL ME!!!!1!1!

    *ahem* well, go for it. it's pretty much a well-known fact, but my favorite site is X-Entertainment.

    our first rwbs field trip should obviously be...

    ...real life Pac-Man!

    Pac Manhattan

    and i thought it was just a movie fantasy.

    I Spy - Topic #7

    R A N D O M:

    This week I challenge you to capture the essence of “random”. Yep... Lucky 7 makes it a Wild Card assignment... you shoot and post whatever the hell you like, and tell us a story about it in the buzznet blog.

    As always, the only requirement is to have fun... including yourself in the pic is encouraged but not required.

    Post your photo to the Buzznet photoblog by Monday, May 10, 2004.

    THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST QUIZ....

    Your a constipated bitch
    You're a constipated bitch. That's the best kind of
    sucking there is. I recommend some ex-lax and a
    good ass kicking. Yep.


    How much do you suck?

    Triple F Friday! (favorite friday five)

    we'll start it off easy. name your five favorite cartoon characters.

    Marci just sent in a pic for her icon.

    I think it captures her essence perfectly.



    Oh yeah, you can change your icon as much as you like. The real world ... blogger style is all about change.

    Five for Friday

    a quick poll to see if anyone would be interested if i suggested ideas for a favorite friday list. we have the thursday 3, picture monday, and the occasional scavenger hunt. just thought i would try to bring something other than alcohol and lame humor to the table.

    Answer Me These Questions Three:

    (aka. Thursday 3)

    1. If you got an all-expense-paid week vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go?

    2. When was the last time you were in a fight? What caused it? Who won?

    3. Are you comfortable enough to urinate in front of another person?


    (As before, Andrew at NineMileDetour receives my profuse thanks for being the mastermind behind these questions -- and to him I pledge my undying gratitude & adoration, and promise to repay his thoughtfulness by refraining from being my phenomenally sarcastic self on the first Tuesday of each month from hereon after.... maybe.)

    Since marci has officially

    announced her return to the rw...bs the Bea Arthur icon pic goes up until she sends another picture.

    THAT"S RIGHT....

    are you damned?

    "Family Ties" Tina Yothers

    is 33 years old today.
    Share with us your favorite Tina Yothers moment.



    For me it would have to be the time she caught her father trying on Mallory's prom dress and singing Don't Cry For Me Argentina.

    Write a caption

    for this pic.

    Marci pay attention.

    I found this when I did a Google image search for
    "old guys who like weird stuff"

    I've got a coupon

    for rent one get one free from the video store.
    Any suggestions on what I should rent?

    psst.... hi.


    (slacker says: 'this post is late because i couldn't get anyone to make it for me')

    a day late and a dollar short

    *yawn*.

    It's Not Really Tuesday Until The Monkeys Sing

    This picture should answer any nagging questions you might have had about me.



    Yes, I have equilibrium problems.
    Yes, I was always this cute.
    Yes, I am the bastard child of Pa Ingalls and Nellie Oleson from Little House on the Prairie.

    Come on, who's taking notes for the stoner chick who always stumbles in late??

    apparently, no one.

    And apparently, i still didn't get the assignment right.
    how was i supposed to know it was supposed to be a self portrait?



    that's me.
