Hey, it's Mad's Birthday.

Beer From Milwaukee Polka ???

and also because my jaw still hurts from my near fatal visit to the dentist yesterday I am officially declaring this
Boz Can Sleep All Day If He Damn Well Pleases Day.
There will be fireworks.

Just when I think the interweb has reached it's awesomeness quota..

I find this!

I Spy - Topic #6

ORANGE:

Take a picture of something orange - the fruit, or something that is, has or represents the color orange.

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

The Real Word Blogger Style. It's What's For Dinner.

Ok, so I never could think of a signature phrase, but as part of my rehab my sponsor told me I need to "make amends" so I came up with slogans for everyone! Ok, fine, I'm not in rehab, and when I say sponsor I mean monkey, and maybe I had a little help with the slogans, but still. It's the thought that counts, isn't it? Isn't it? At least that's what my parents told me every Christmas when they gave me rubber bands and boxes of Shake 'n Bake (pre-Cat Shake 'n Bake Incident) as gifts. But enough about me.

1. Please Don't Squeeze The Boz.
2. The Best Part Of Waking Up Is Marci In Your Cup.
3. I Liked The Zann So Much, I Bought The Company!
4. Break Me Off a Piece of That Dvl.
5. Crunch All You Want. We'll Make Mike.
6. There's No Wrong Way to Eat a Bored Housewife.
7. This Is Not Your Father's Sandra.
8. Strong Enough for a Man, Made for a Jonnie.
9. Madmathias. It's Everywhere You Wanna Be.
10. The AtlSuperstar That Eats Like A Meal.

And in conclusion, I would like to say there is no conclusion, except I think my eyes are bleeding and if I never see another slogan again it will be too soon.

Oh Lordy...

Although Easter has come and gone, you can be prepared for next year with the aid of the Jesus Christ Action Figure set!

Is it hot in here

or is it just the mutant budgie.



Those whacky New Zealanders!

is it hot in here?

or is it just me?

Answer Me These Questions Three:

(aka. Thursday 3)

1. What's your favorite memory of your Grandparents?

2. If you could repeal one law, which would you pick?

3. Have you ever shoplifted? If so, what did you take?

(Extra special thanks again to Andrew at NineMileDetour for being the mastermind and writing these questions... show him some love by at least answering this week’s Thursday 3... and show him love on his blog for extra credit.)

I'm off to the dentist in a few minutes.

I'm getting a crown.
This is the first of two visits.
Even though people have been known to die in the dentist's chair, I don't want any of you to worry needlessly.
Oh yeah, zann you get my CD collection if, well, you know, if, ummmm, oh god ...
::GROUP HUG::
I'm going to miss you all.
Peace be with you.

What If...?

If Jonnie & Sandra were to get married, the figures on top of the cake would probably look a lot like this -


The guy on the ground is the priest.

send me either links to the pictures (make sure the urls are correct!) or the pictures themselves--email to: inzannity@aol.com

giddy-up.

SINCE..........

The guy pouring my beer 2 weeks ago broke my liter glass.... I think it is would only be nice to leave Drew as a temp pict for me until I can get a good authentic picture of me and my new mug for my icon. It seems only right to me, ......and should to you all too.

In other news.... I would like to apologize for my absence, but ever since Mad has moved in, my time has been spent ... um, elsewhere.

I am in the process

of posting temporary icons for those of you who have not sent me your preference.
I must say the one I used for Mike is excellent!!!

Offspring

Some weeks ago, I decided that I'd love to have baby animals around me and since I have neither time nor enough room for a little puppy or a kitten, I thought that it would be best to have some fish babies. So, in order to get the fishes in the mood for some sweet lovin', I lit two candles in front of the fishtank and played The Temptations' "On The Nightshift" on heavy rotation. And here's the result of that effort:



Yay! Two babies (one hides behind the plant)! They are about a week old now, fishes "David" and "Bowie" are the parents. Thing is, I don't have names for the offspring yet. So I decided to name the fishes after the first two people who comment on this post. So go ahead! This is an unique chance to become the namesake of something that looks like mutant sperm!

If anyone wants

to use a real picture for their icon, send it on, and I'll change it,
or just another icon, because I am sick and tired of the south park ones.

I mean it

Somebody wake me up, please!!!!

Thanks for the Memories

At the advice of my inner conscience, I have decided to move out of the RWBS house. I really cant commit the time it takes, and it wouldn't be fair or feel right for me to keep hanging on.

I have enjoyed my time spent here, reading about your lives and getting to know you. I will continue to read your individual blogs and visit here often to keep up with your crazy shenanigans.

Meanwhile, I plan to keep Gooseneck up and running and would love to have you guys stop by once in awhile.

Thanks for everything and for putting up with me all this time. I wish you all the best .

Limerick Anthology

The first edition of the RWBS Limerick Anthology
is ready & available at -
http://www.gilliomville.com/rwlimericks.html

i'll have a corona with a lime, rick.

there once was a blogger named mad
whose limerick writing was bad
so he gave it a shot
and pulled his sleeves taut
man this sucks just a tad.

boo-yah.

A limerick for Jonnie

There once was blogger named Jonnie
Whose sombrero was awfully scrawny.
Even with an erection
It avoided detection
Which resulted in lack of poonani.

My Limerick, also a day late and probably more than a dollar short....

There once was a blogger named Lisa
Who wished to climb the tower of Pisa
Once on the top
all her buttons she'd pop
and flash that small town with a vengeance.

bah.

Better late than never... my limerick

There once was a blogger named Sandra
She repeats her quest like a mantra
"Thou shallst join the cult!
Or else you get gulled
And beware I'm a master in Tantra!"

Please He'p Me

I got the limerick fever ...

There once was a blogger named belle
And another one named dvl
They did things in the night
Not considered quite right
But I'm sure that they did these things well.

There once was a blogger named lisa
Who got sexually aroused eating pizza
She had a big slice
But it didn't suffice
I guess pizza can't sexually appease ya.

I Spy - Topic #5

WATER:

Take a picture of water - still or moving, as large as a body of water or as small as water droplets, and anything in between.

As always, including yourself in the pic is encouraged.

Limerick review of

Gangs of New York

There once was a blogger named boz
With the hots for Cameron Diaz
Till he saw Gangs of New York
And he said what the fork
I never knew she had such flaws.

There Once Was A Blogger Named Belle

Who many believed was a demon from hell
As it turned out she born to be queen,
Wife to the man known as Martin Sheen
If only she could get him to fall down a well.

Special Features
Alternate Ending: If only she could get him to stop drinking Prell.

my limerick--i mean, i am Irish after all, so this should be easy, right?

there once was a blogger named zann
whose tastes made her seem like a man
well she surely was not
and her temper was hot
so be nice or get hit with a pan.

i'm all wet

and only mike to dry me off.

the hot tub was nice mikey. we should go it again sometime.

i'll leave it at that, i don't want zann thinking i'm trying to cockblock.

Answer Me These Questions Three:

(aka. Thursday 3)

1. What is one of your life goals?

2. When was the last time you felt small?

3. What was your favorite childhood toy?

(It should come as no surprise that, once again, I had NineMileDetour do my homework for me and write these questions... I am not this deep people -- honestly, you have stepped in deeper puddles.)

I just had to make a post

to get Jonnie's penis self portrait off the same level as the zonkboard.
So, read any good books lately?
Movies??
Bazooka Joe funnies???
Hey, how about this weather????
Maybe that will take care of it.

Popular Myth Exploded

I think we can all rest a little easier tonight -

Sounds like the worst you can do is bruise it.
That takes a load off my mind. I'm relieved.

hahaha....relieved.....load......explode.....

(sorry. That will be all. I'm done.) hahaha

The Simpson's

personality test.

I am Krusty the Clown.

One More:

There once was a blogger named silence
Whose schooling filled her with violence
Worried about doing her best
She offered to bare her chest
Then her professor sent her for guidance.

There once was a blogger named Subliminal

Her writing tinkered on the line of criminal
She got busy one day
and went far far away
And hoped the animosity would be minimal.

On that note... the semester is almost over and I will be back soon. If any of you know a good place to sell my soul, let me know, I think i am in the market.

Assignment, Assignment, Assignment

Write a limerick about yourself.
The first line should read:
There once was a blogger named (your name here).

I think I may have a drinking problem...

...what do you think?


Just to clarify. Yes, I am a very cluttered individual and yes, this is how it always looks!
Keep in mind also that those bottles are several bottles deep as well, that's not just one row!
..and on a seemingly unrelated but related note..
Oh yes, I will always look this good.. mmm.. living pickle..

since some of you are fellow Tupperware fanatics...

...i thought this would be the proper arena in which to celebrate the return of my favorite piece. it went missing about a month ago without my knowledge--my mother sent it away, full of cake, with a family member, and forgot she did so, ahem, wtf, dude--and it was gone long enough to raise my stress level by 87% when i was trying to gather my Easter treats for transportation. see, this Tupperware is perfect for cupcakes or multiple floors of brownies. yessah.



my beloved container miraculously reappeared thanks to the thoughtfulness of the aforementioned relative. let's party.

So...

...I can still post over here, eh? How are you bitches? Who's got a smoke?

Confession

When nobody else is home, I've been going to the backyard and pretending I'm the pool boy.


See that leaf in the net?
Hey, I'm no slacker.

Although the net is kind of heavy, it's pretty fun.
A goal to strive for. The impossible dream.

Mike needs a scanner!

...and I always thought artist's handwriting was supposed to be all nice and pretty...

at least i have spiffy paper.

Hot Tub tonight?

Bueller?
Bueller?
Anyone?
11PM EDT, 10PM CDT, 9PM MDT, 8PM PDT and ...
8AM CET

Jonnie's Handwriting Sample

For my handwriting sample, I composed a one act play.
I hope you enjoy it.
I put a shitload of thought into it -

He's the studly one right?

Right ... right???


Which My So-Called Life Character Are You? Find out @ She's Crafty

I am, like, the *sickest* person

So I have a confession. I might have a debilitating addiction. I only wish it was pills or booze or cutting, or something that might lead to an intervention with Dr. Drew and my very own stand out episode of this show, but I'm afraid this is far too serious for that.
The thing is, I can't stop watching My So-Called Life. Is there a support group for this? Because I think I'm beginning to regress and show symptoms of teenage angst and I swear for five minutes today I wondered if Jordan Catalano would notice me if I dyed my hair red Crimson Glow. Please, this is my cry for help.


Which My So-Called Life Character Are You? Find out @ She's Crafty

It's Goose remember me?

Ok Boz, I get the sense that you did not quite believe me when I said that I got all of the answers right to the quiz (Except the John Lennon question, mind you, you say Bridgette Bardot and I say Natalie Wood), anyway... to try to prove to you that I wasnt just saying that I thought that I would elaborate on a few of the questions that were a little bit harder.

Boz said that Bridgette Bardot was the subject of the Beatles song Norwegian Wood. That may be a rumor (there are several) but the one I heard was that it was written about Natalie Wood whom he met on a chance encounter while in Oslo Norway in late 1964.

Don Larsen of the New York Yankees pitched a perfect game in game 5 of the 1956 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers.

I had the quote "we dont need no stinkin badges" as coming from the movie Magnificent 7

Roger McGuinn's full real name was James Joseph Mcguinn.

I didn't elaborate as much as Boz did on Dino's death, I merely had Plane crash air guard

And admittedly, I had the Monkees down as the author of the Grand Ennui and not specifically Mike Nesmith.

I actually did a term paper on Pete Gray while I was in junior high school (that's middle school for you youngsters). I knew that he only had one arm.

I knew that Ronnie Reagan was the first president to live after being elected in a year that eneded with zero because I remember being disappointed that he broke the chain. (I know, it's harsh, but it is true.) Also, another cool fact about Ronald Wilson Reagan... The letters in each of his names has 6 letters. Thus, 666.

Most answers were relatively easy to find on the internet and the few that I didn't know I was able to get from Hawspipe quite quickly. Not only do I use him as my attorney, I also go to him with my tough questions.

So... Perhaps my comment about having all correct answers was a little overblown, but I did have them right according to my sources. And really now... Do you think that I would actualy lie to you?

Ha! Take that Boz!

Concerning Goose

You've probably noticed that Goose hasn't been around for awhile. Turns out he hadn't ditched the house like all of you had suspected, it seems that in real life he has just moved into a new house and has been very busy.
Also, Goose claims that he got every one of the answers to the trivia quiz correct, but that was easy to claim once the answers had been posted.
Finally, in dvl's Thursday Three, which dvl didn't actually write, Goose said the one activity that he was forced to participate in was school picture day.
Here is what he had to say about it:

My parents thought that the school photo was the most important thing in the world. I hated it and one time about 7th grade didn't smile. My mother freaked OUT. She set up an appointment and made me re-do it and this time she went with me. She was so pissed and to this day I cant figure that out.

When I told him that would be a good pic to post he claimed that it had been lost forever years ago.
But !!!
I did a Google Image search and was able to come up with the original pic, the replacement pic, and three other pics of Goose taking part in various school activities.
Take that Goose!

Christmas in June

Is anyone interested in the house celebreating Christmas in June with a gift exchange and other holiday stuff?
I haven't thought it out yet, but if enough of us were interested it would be a cool thing. Participation would NOT be mandatory, so don't worry about that, just the people interested.
Names would be drawn at random and there would be a spending limit of I guess ten dollars, but if that is too high we could make it five.
Give me your feedback on this people.
Let's make
this Christmas in June the best Christmas in June we've ever had!!!

There might be a bit of a trouble brewing

between Mad and myself as the



take on the



in the first round of the NBA playoffs, but the conflict should be short lived as the Pistons will probably sweep the series.

Go Pistons !!!

A little update from slacker-arse...

Some of us were hanging out last night.
and we all scurried over to check out Mad's buzznet.
and there was much joy.
he should be made aware that several lewd comments were made, most of which came from Boz, but still.
if i were him, i would be flattered.
...although we all know it doesn't exactly take much to get me smiling.
he may very well be the most elligible bachelor in the house or the least eligible most bachelor...or something.
and for some reason i saw pictures of someone else a while back and i thought it was him...
so i thought i knew what he looked like, but i was wrong.
...unless he lost a lot of weight and had a new smile surgically implanted and dyed his hair and bought color contacts....?
so that was kind of funny for me--a pleasant surprise.
almost as funny as this one person who kept commenting on my buzznet stuff...
i assumed it was a guy.
read the blog, there was a story about a girl, romantic, etc.
said blogger signed things with a name that is 99% of the time a men's name.
then said blogger posted self-portraits on buzznet.
girl.
hot girl, even.
so it was a win, win situation.
but odd, nonetheless.

also, if anyone has a spare roll of duct tape, could i borrow it?
oh--pool boy's here, gotta go---

(and no, i'm not doing this to distract attention from the Jordan fiasco.)
(well, maybe a little.)

Fast as you

I've decided that there are some things in my past I need to atone for. Since I won't be able to apologize to anyone for them, I'll make amends by fasting one day for every one on my list. Anyone ever fasted before? Any tips?

I wonder if this will factor positively in my goal to let the past go.
