I’m off for the Tiki….seems like I had a few messages for people I’m forgetting….Finally cooling off a little so I can think!And thanks, Bev, cos I felt guilty even mentioning the heat cos we’ve had beautiful weather while you guys sweltered.
But this unexpected day of it just knocked me out somehow.
Oh! I never said what great pictures Stel and the Monkey posted yesterday….nice job!
Good to see the Sheriff on the job…. how do you manage to keep at it all day and…um…. grind daiquiris half the night?
And Stel worked so hard on Saturday’s celebration and its aftermath, I want you all to know… I’m surprised she’s recovered at all by now.
Oh …. and I forgot to say loved the cancer cookie story, Briatollah.
Hiya Red….Want me to wheel you to the Tiki? I have an antique wheelchair for decor, but it works….and the Piano House isn’t much out of my way, you know….

THE VIAGRA WORKED.Longer than four hours hang a flag on it and parade it around.Or Just use Cialis and sit in a bathtub. Whats up with that?Never understood the bathtub. And remember what mom said. “Stop that or you could go blind!”How did she know the side effects?
Still worried about Linguist, with my bum toe I am not in great shape for walking about looking for him. <.<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>Hey Red, I sincerely hope your toe is on the mend. I’m O.K. but a little rushed at the moment. Why don’t I swing by later and take you down to the Tiki Bar and buy you a nice single malt 18 yr. old scotch to ease your pain.I’ve got a bunch of running around to do today but I’ll get back to you this afternoon.Tell Monkey and The Girls , and all the other regulars that DRINKS ARE ON ME tonight !
Sheriff, you sure have been busy. We Troopers were out there looking too but the description was too vague. Cat with attitude. And sorry we can’t profile (mostly). There are fresh do-nuts and coffee at Krispy Creme!(Bat Pug just kills me. My wife loves Pugs)
The cat number 2 is the evil FU MANCHUOne of the Catopia Triad leaders.Do not let the sweet demeanor and color fool you.Those eyes. Those eyes. ZZZZZZZZZZZ.Darn cat did it to me again.I am GLAD the Sheriff has them secured.Sheriff? Sheriff?Some one wake him up.
When you find yourself in danger, when you’re threatened by a stranger’When i looks like you wil take a lickin (pik, puk, puk)There is someone waiting Who will hurry up and rescue youJust CALL for SUPER CHICKEN (puk ack)
Fred if you’re afraid you’ll have to overlook itBesides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it.
He will drink his super sauceand throw the bad guys for a loss (Like those darn Cowboys)and he will bring them in alive and kicking (puk……)There is one thing you should learn When there is no one else to turn toCAALLL for SUPER CHICKENCAAALLLLL for SUPER CHICKEN (Puk ack)Super SauceChohilla Pepper sauce (Texas style)Drink that it will make you SUPER.
“And Stel worked so hard on Saturday’s celebration and its aftermath, I want you all to know… I’m surprised she’s recovered at all by now.”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++I was glad to do it. I always had a soft spot in my heart for BatPug, who, by the way, was very curious to know who those two cuties in the Hawaiian float were….??? Any ideas, Susan ?
Gosh, Monkey…. with all this cat business at hand…maybe you’re too busy to mind the smoker…
If you like, I can do that…. if you trust me with it…I’m not great for a posse…better at cooking…or we can do the ribs another night if they need your special touch.
Sorry, Bev…these guys already took care of getting Zeke down safely. But, they’re working the night shift, so it anything does come up and they’re needed….well, they’ll be there!
Beviek! I think you’ve had one (or 11?) too many long island teas to be out chasing anything.!
the smoker fire is low and well banked, the ribs aren’t on the grill yet; I’d never let them scorch and the Monkey knows it!If you need an excuse to see the fireman, please don’t use me, get me in trouble, and worry Monkey Blues at a time like this!
I’m on my way back to the tiki right now to start up the grill now that the ribs are smoked…Why don’t you bring your (newly) sparkly head over there and I’ll make you some coffee.I’ll be making daiquiris, too.. but… um….I think maybe you don’t need one just yet.
Hi Essex. I’m down at the other end of the bar lifting a tankard of Arrogant ███████ Ale. I may be a bit hard to see as I can tend to fade into the woodwork.
Whoa! All this talk about shootin’. I know in some places alkeyhol & ammo mix right well, but maybe not on Ballard St.Here’s my suggestion…Take some of them balloons left over from the Find Essex movement and some old fishnet hose (older cos a little gray will work better). Cut up the hose and string them between the lines to the balloons. Float them up on likely approach routes for FlyKittyFly. The rotor blades get tangled in the fishnets and down he comes. (The balloons slow the descent for a more humane capture.) Just like The Spider And The Fly
No reason for shooting at any kitties…. though I appreciate the idea of only hitting propellers, when everybody’s 3 sheets to the wind it’s still dangerous.
Meanwhile…. if anybody wants a daiquiri or some more ribs….just follow me round the corner into tomorrow….I think Briatollah’s already there….

@Susan ☼Maybe white “Good’n’Plenties” would work as teeth. A pink “Laffy Taffy” could be shaped as a tongue. There are other components you could try.
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 12 years ago
Essex! Nice to see you.Yeah, I’ve wondered, too, whether you have some special connection with Thailand….
and now more so…
though this video is pretty popular, so it may be coincidental.
Please do drop by the salon tomorrow afternoon (well, this afternoon, but not to me cos I still need to sleep.)
If you won’t be in town that long, at least come by the Tiki now….
You DO have a special connection with all of us… like it or not!
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 12 years ago
Briatolla …. good ideas…
Good and Plentys would work…. might have to break them in half….
There are also thinner ones called licorice pastels.I love licorice.
And almost any taffy is better than Starbursts.Come by and help decorate!
But please don’t hurt FlyKittyFly, or any of the flying kitties.They’ll be properly dealt with…cats just get a bit carried away.

Sure…. haircut at… say…. 2pm? Is 1 better?Paraffin treatment, foot rub…and pupcakes.Works for me!

And…. Dogsniff, PerkyCat…. and a few others of you who say “Oh, I can’t be part of that” about our community here….You ARE part of it!
You’ve posted here…. so here you are!
It takes no particular technical expertise….but if you want some, we’ll teach you.
Meanwhile, if you even say hello, it makes you one of us. It’s very contagious….
Bwah ha ha…

Now come on down to the Tiki Bar….Or drop by the salon around 4pm tomorrow to have a cup of tea and help make pupcakes.

Another hot day…Thanks everybody for helping make pupcakes….How did they take 3 hours to decorate and 20 minutes to eat??
Briatollah you were surprisingly well behaved…so was everybody, actually.
Now I need a bit of a nap….I’ll get up again when it cools off some more…
Any chance of more yak ribs, my Monkey friend?I saved you some pupcakes.
Banana daiquiris a couple of hours from now in the sunset would suit me fine.Y’know, I drink more on Ballard St than I’ve ever done in my life ….
SusanSunshine Premium Member about 12 years ago
StelBel! You tell BatPug to keep his eyes off those sixth grade puppies!

Bev … that cupcake is in honor of your new “do.”
(No, everybody, it doesn’t look just like that…but we picked some pretty colors, didn’t we Bev!)
So glad X shipped me that tanker of glitter …
it was a while back, but it’s a LOT of glitter.

Oh Stel!
But the Monkey is trusting me with the smoker and the daiquiri grinder tonight…
Was hoping you’d make it.
We’ll have some nice barbecued ribs and cold drinks for the Sheriff and all the hardworking deputies and volunteers when they come in….
I’ll be bringing over some banana bread, too….and some home made liver cookies for the dogs.
C’mon, everybody!See you in about an hour!

They’re wonderful right out of the smoker with the Sheriff’s special rub… I like to sauce’ em up and grill ’em for a few.
Your choice. Daiquiri?

Ribs up, everybody!
Dig in…. there are plenty for us now and the rest as they straggle in…
The Monkey is a great host even in absentia.
So Essex…. have you lived in Thailand?Are you Thai? (well, on the internet, you never know.) And I thought Chaiiyo was a place.

And hello, if I didn’t say it, Linguist and Red and X and Briatollah!
