What you don’t like Abba? Geez man! Still a great breakfast though, good taste in food.
I Don’t mind Don’t Stop Me Now. For a while it was an anthem. For the most part I’d sayI liked everything Queen did prior to 1978, except for Live Killers
Carmy, Galaxy Quest was ok but I’ve always been a big fan of Home Improvement
————-
Lonewolf, I haven’t heard about them. The most popular ones at the plant are cheese & sausage or same with jalapeno. I’ve also had some stuffed with bacon!. mmmm bacoooon!
Grog, I saw Tim Allen when he first started out on Rodney Dangerfield’s Comedy show on HBO many years ago. He did the “Toolman” bit.
Now it’s time for me to say, Goodnight!
GROG Thanks for breakfast. I started Tim Allen’s Don’t Stand too Close to a Naked Man last night. Could not put it down. That man is funny. Ought to have his own TV show. He explains all about my teenage years from explosives to sex, or was it the other way around. Anyway, I recommend this as the best printed material since P J O’Rourke ran National Lampoon.
TRIBE! Another Monday and I’m doing a HAPPY DANCE.
Doc, I found out the hard way yesterday that my sump pump piggyback switch that turns the pump on & off has gone kaput! So I need to replace it today. Not a big deal, but there is more cleanup from the water. Nothing got damaged though, so that is the bright spot.
Good Morning All. I could go to Dusty’s party as a bare skin rug. Once I had consumed enough alcohol I’d be lying on the floor anyways and no one would know the difference.
Doc - I understand completely. What is even harder when the parents have to let their adult children experience “tough love.”
I’ve got a brother (now 61) who quit a great job before he was 55, spent his 401K on a trip to Europe, and then when he wouldn’t take just any job, became homeless. After Dad died, he thought he could just move in with Mom, and I had to be the “bad guy” (at her request) to make him leave. This was way before the economy tanked, and I’m sure he could have found menial jobs, but he thought he was too good to do those on a regular basis, however, he’d do worse jobs on a “day laborer” basis. Go figure! My sister thought I was being heartless, until she started circling want ads for him, and found out he wouldn’t even apply for them.
Doc - That is one good thing about the military, they don’t have any problem giving “attitude adjustments” to new recruits.
It seems like most kids in their 20’s cause their parents a lot of worry until they settle down and become responsible in all areas of their lives. Of course, there are some that never do, and cause their parents grief the rest of their lives.
Hi bunny face & other yappy nuts. The first time I posted my breakfast, Lewreader commented that he’d been called yappy and a nut, but never yappy nut. So afterword, I modified my greeting accordingly.
Well I hope we’re not composting here!
I just got back from my auto servicing & other errands. I think I’ll slither on back to bed for a while. I didn’t sleep enough last night and the weather’s crappy enough for it anyway.
By the way, I hear the Twins are selling out their new stadium. Now, is that because (1) it’s new, (2) the weather is nice, or (3) they are really that good?
Good morning, Grog & Bunnyface!Bunnyface - Were your ears burning yesterday? We were talking about you at the dinner table. The conversation went from “abnormal” to “Abby Normal” to the definition of an “Abby”. I guessed an Abby is where the Abbot lives, but didn’t check that out. Then I mentioned that one of my gocomics friends is a real monk, and I could ask you. That brought a bunch of other questions, many I could answer, but a few I could not. One that I remember is: Do you pray in Latin or English? (At least when you’re praying with the others.)
We read the Brother Cadfael series several years ago, but that is about the extent of our knowledge of monasteries.
No burning ears, but I might have been napping at the time…
An Abbey (note spelling) is an independent community of monastics under an Abbot (monks) or Abbess (nuns). (There are exceptions–some friars live in abbeys,and so on.) The word comes from “Abba”, Aramaic for Father, as used by Jesus, since the “Abba” (or Abbot/Abbess) takes the place of Christ for the community.
We use mostly English in prayers, but have a few Latin parts, such as occasionally the Mass ordinaries (Sanctus/Holy Holy Holy, Agnus Dei/Lamb of God) or the Gloria, or the Marian Antiphons at the end of Vespers. The Schola also will often do a bit of Gregorian Chant, which naturally uses Latin. (And then there’s the Kyrie, Greek…)
Thanks for the explanations, bunnyface!
Let me check to make sure I understood correctly. All Abbeys are monasteries, but not all monasteries are Abbeys or Abbesses? What is the difference between a nunnery & a monastery? I thought the difference was just whether it consisted of females or males.
Actually, Cadfael is a pretty good intro to monastic life–at least the medieval version. (In fact, since each monastery is basically pretty much independent of every other, each monastery has its own tradition and style of life, so it can get pretty hard to generalize about monastic life, just as it’s pretty hard to describe the “average” family, and for the same reason.)
But some things are still recognizable, even though much has changed in the past, umm, 900-1000 years.
Glad to hear that Cadfael was fairly accurate for that time frame. That’s how I found out about the series - our homeschool history guide recommended one of the first books, just to get a feel for that time frame & culture.
After we’d read the whole series, we watched as many of the movies we could find in the library. Fun to look at the costumes, and listen to the music. Also was a good way to get my sons to understand why they should never subsitute the movie for the book without the instructor’s approval. (Who the villain was, changed from the book to the movie.)
Well, a nunnery is a monastery of nuns, female monastics. But the word is archaic by now. Monastic is generic, and refers to either monks or nuns.
Also, “convent” usually refers to a house of women religious, but it really refers to the cloister, which all monasteries have. It’s our private area, from which outsiders are (generally) excluded.
Besides Abbeys, there are also Priories (generally smaller, dependent houses, under a Prior or Prioress), and some just use “Monastery” as well–especially houses of women monastics, since they are (in America) not allowed to be Abbeys, and “Priory” or “Convent” has other connotations.
Okay..
If I’ve got it straight -
Monastery is a term for any Catholic community of celibate individuals - males or females.
Monasteries can be Abbeys, Priories, Convents (non USA), or just plain monstaries.
Is that correct?
BTW, we went to a friend’s funeral who was (Greek - I think) Orthodox. I know the church has a lot of Lebanese descent, so whatever variety that would be. It was interesting listening to the music/chants. A big difference than what we experience in our churches.
Doc - Hurray! I’m glad you got several hours of sleep. It would be interesting to film the cats with a hidden camera. I’ve got to move the obstacles from where the washing machine is located, to the outside door. I also need to leave in an hour to let the vampires at the Red Cross take a pint. I’ll check back later.
Lonewolf If I wanted to I could fill a whole page by myself.
Did you know that old Nuclear Coffee does not grow mold. I accidently left some in the pot when I quit drinking coffee four weeks ago. I had just decided that it was time to put the coffee maker away, I spilled the coffee on me. Look what happened!!!
I don’t want Pringles I like Lays. Pringles are weird. I’m not telling you what I am eating because you will find a way to make it sound like icky food from the icky movie!
LuvH8 - I think “Blondes and/or not-the-brightest-bulb” jokes got the most votes for this week. I’ve got to get ready to donate blood, but I’ll contribute this evening when I return.
Now the big bugs. Willie says I had bugs for lunch. She says to Short Round, “Give me your hat.” “Why?” “Because I’m going to puke in it!” She asks for something simple like soup and gets eyeball soup!.
Grog, most of the time it doesn’t run. Mainly when we wash clothes or it rains it runs. I need the piggyback switch for the motor. The motor itself is fine.
One evening a blonde went to seafood restaurant for dinner. When she saw the tank where they kept the lobsters she asked a waiter, “Why are those creatures in that tank?”
“They are the lobsters we serve our customers!” answered the waiter.
“You mean you’re going to kill them,” said the blonde.
“Absolutely,” said the waiter.
The blonde was so upset that she immediately exited the restaurant, drove to a nearby convenience store, purchased hefty bags and returned to the restaurant to accomplish her covert mission.
Taking pity on the poor creatures, she waited until the moment was right, and snatched all of the lobsters from the tank, threw them in the bag, and hightailed it out of the restaurant.
Later she went to the woods to set the poor animals free.
There is a blonde on a plane to New York. She is sitting in the first class section, but her ticket says that she should be in the coach section. A flight attendant realizes the blonde’s mistake and asks her politely to move. The blonde won’t move. All she says is, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, and I’m going to New York.” The flight attendant goes and tells all of the other flight attendants. They all try to persuade the blonde to move, but she won’t move. All she says is, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, and I’m going to New York.” The flight attendants go and tell the pilot about the obnoxious blonde. They tell him the only thing that she says. He puts the plane on auto-pilot and whispers something in the blonde’s ear. Immediately, she gets up and moves to her normal seat. Then the pilot goes back to fly the plane. The flight attendants are all very curious about how the pilot made the blonde move so quickly. They ask him and he says, “Oh, it was easy. All I had to do was tell her that the first class section wasn’t going to New York!”
A boss looked out of his office one day and saw one of his cubicle workers up hanging from the light fixture. He went over to talk to the guy and asked what he thought he was doing.
“I’m a light bulb!” the guy responded.
“OK, OK there. Just come down, take the rest of the day off, and when you feel yourself again, you can come back in to work. OK?”
“Sure.”
As the fellow headed out the door, he noticed the blonde in the next cubicle gathering her things and following him out.
“And where are you going?”
“Duh! You really don’t expect me to work in the dark, do you?”
While waiting at New York’s La Guardia Airport for passengers to board the business jet that I fly, I decided to watch a football game on the plane’s TV set. My location, relative to the broadcasting antennas in New York City, made for excellent reception in the aircraft. When two of my passengers arrived, they sat down and became engrossed in the game. “That’s the clearest television picture I’ve seen in a long time,” one man observed. “It certainly is,” the other commuter said. “Do you have cable?”
My sister landed a good job with an accounting firm, and after a while she got a generous raise. The day she found out about it, her husband picked her up from work, and they stopped for ice cream. As they continued home, my sister blurted out, “Isn’t it hard to believe that I have a job that pays this much money?” Just then, she went to toss the last of her ice cream cone out the window. However, the window was closed, and it smacked against the glass. Her husband replied calmly, “Yes.”
This joke doesn’t fit the category, but thought I’d share it anyway…
My first day of employment -
So after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day….
About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. I said pleasantly, “Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart.”
“Nice children you have there. Are they twins?” The mean, ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, “They ain’t twins. The oldest one’s 9 and the other one’s 7. Why would you think they’re twins? Are you blind, or stupid?”
So I replied, “I’m neither blind nor stupid, ma’am, I just couldn’t believe you got someone to sleep with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.”
My supervisor said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work.
What’s funny is that was emailed to me by the sweetest little old lady (a close friend of my mom) who I never would have expected it from. I’m sure she wasn’t the Wal-Mart employee, but I thought it was worth sharing here.
(From RD)
As a veterinarian, I am constantly made aware of how pets are an integral part of many people’s lives. I had just finished explaining to a bassett hound’s owner that her elderly dog had diabetes and began listing its probable causes. She interrupted me when I mentioned the heredity factor. “No one on my side has ever had that condition,” she quickly said, “and I don’t think my husband’s family has either.”
Okay - I remember exactly three jokes. 2 are a little long, and one of those is a knock-knock that needs people to hear the joker and see his facial expressions. So, here’s the only other one I ever remember fully.
Mahatma Ghandhi was considered by some to be a mystic. he was a vegetarian whose health was not always good. Ghandhi also fasted and severe fasting can lead to bad breath. Ghandhi rarely wore shoes, so the skin of his feet was thick and hard. So what was he?
Ready?
Sure?
He was a super-callused fragile mystic with extreme halitosis!
David filled his car with gas at a self-service gas station. After he had paid and driven away, he realized that he had left the gas cap on top of his car. He stopped and looked and, sure enough, it was lost. Well, he thought for a second and realized that other people must have done the same thing, and that it was worth going back to look by the side of the road since even if he couldn’t find his own gas cap, he might be able to find one that fit. Sure enough, he hadn’t been searching long when he found a gas cap. He tried it on, and it went into place with a satisfying click. “Great,” David thought, “I lost my gas cap, but I found another one that fits. And this one’s even better because it locks …”
Rmom - it’s probably because it ends in a reallly bad pun.
I never think to save jokes. I save stories - funny, cute, heartwarming, thoughtful, and religious. My favorite religious one in an alternate version of “Footprints”
Celecca - Until this last Christmas, I made a calendar for the extended family on both sides. I’d put pictures or cartoons on the top, and use jokes to fill in empty space on the section with the dates. So, I’ve saved up a lot of those, because I never knew what size of hole I’ll would need to fill.
A lady who was speeding had an officer pull her to the side of the road. She didn’t have her seat belt on so as soon as she stopped, she quickly slipped it on before the officer got to her window. After talking to her about speeding, the officer said, “I see you are wearing your seat belt. Do you believe in wearing it at all times?”
“Yes, I do, officer,” she replied.
“Well,” asked the officer, “do you always do it up with it looped through your steering wheel?”
A collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance who told him he had just thrown away an old Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. He happened to mention that Guten-somebody-or-other had printed it.
“Not Gutenberg?” gasped the collector.
“Yes, that was it!”
“You goober! You’ve thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy recently sold at auction for half a million dollars!”
“Oh, I don’t think this book would have been worth anything close to that much,” replied the man.
“It was scribbled all over in the margins by some clown named Martin Luther.”
Lonewolf I just finished watching a couple original Trek shows with dinner. Now I’m watching The Diary of Anne Frank on TCM* for as long as I can keep my eyes open. This will NOT be a late night!
A guy took his girlfriend to a football game for the first time.
After the game he asked his girlfriend how she liked the game.
Oh, I really liked it,” she said, “but I just couldn’t understand why they were killing each other for 25 cents.”
“What on earth do you mean???”
“Well I saw them flip a coin and one team got it and then for the rest of the game all they kept screaming was, “Get the quarter back! Get the quarter back!”
One of my college friends asked a group of us for advice on organizing his final report for the year. “Why don’t you use Roman numerals to head the different sections?” another friend suggested.
“I already thought of that,” he replied. “But my keyboard doesn’t have Roman numerals on it.”
I’m also trying to get that recipe to you before I nod off, Lonewolf. Looking at it, you may need another sub recipe to make this happen. Let me know if you do. Doing this right makes for a knock your sox of sauce that’ll take the hair off your chest.
A listener called the disc jockey on the air at our radio station to ask about the upcoming lunar eclipse. “The eclipse can be seen at 1:30 in the morning,” the DJ told her. “That late?” the listener snapped. “I don’t know why they don’t schedule these things earlier, so kids can enjoy them too!”
LuvH8 is going to need to read tonight’s comments when she gets up. I probably won’t do too many more tonight - my eyes are telling me it is getting to be my bedtime.
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn’t want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, “Does the sun rise in the North?” When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, (and has for some time), she shook her head and said, “Oh, I don’t keep up with that stuff.”
Grog, I saw your comment that was after my “goodnight.” You said you loved R.D. There was a really good clip on youtube from an HBO comedy show, but the language was to, uh “colorful” to post a link to.
Lonewolf, I figure my buddies & most of Montreal will be more disappointed than me. For one I am not the City’s # 1 hockey fan and 2) I’m very realistic.
The Habs HAD a winning tradition. I think that changed with expansion and the importance of the all mighty dollar. It’s hard to believe, but the Habs did not follow the Yankees in padding the payroll to produce a winner.
In time, the City will get sick of it. They will not support a loser. They’re funny that way.
Grog, there’s a big difference between what you can spend on a team in baseball and what you can spend in hockey. Montreal has not gotten good players in the draft either. It’ll change again down the road. Too much parity in sports.
Lonewolf, that has to say a lot about the current administration. They are former Habs greats, but I doublt their ability to assess talent. they can’t pick a winner any more than most lottery players
Dry, I was busy, busy too. I’m tired! I got a giggle of girls here and one of them invited a friend to sleep over. There’s 5 silly girls here, 6 if you count me.
Dry, no, no. no. no rockin’. They’re being quiet right now. The big laugh fest was during dinner. My girls were talking about “when they were little.” Most of the stories I knew about, but some of them, I was like, WHAT?
Lonewolf, I just realized that you do not need the recipe unless you want to make a darker roux. You can follow the recipe for making the roux on the second page.
Be carefull though. Chef Prudhomme calls it Cajun napalm. It is extremely hot and sticks to your skin. So try to avoid splashing it on yourself. I beleive Rmom made a comment to that effect last night.
As for beef stock, you can make your own or buy from the supermarket. Make sure it’s beef stock and NOT beef broth.
Carmy 10PM Texas time is my usually time to nod off. I’ve stretched considerably during my days off while getting up about 1-2 hours later to make sure I meet my early morning appointments. I see it’s already 10Pm, but do not plan on staying up too much later. I still have to get up early in the morning - AGAIN!
Carmy, I forgot to set my alarm and barely got up in enough time to meet my appointment time this morning. I’m glad daylight woke me up. If it were normal working hours I would have been a couple hours late for work. Don’t plan on trying to do that again!
Lonewolf, it was one of those nights where time just passed by so quickly. Before I knew it, I was posting the breakfast menu. After that, I thought I may as well look at the comics.
I’ll let someone else have the honor of posting breakfast tonight though. I have no intention of staying up that late this time.
The Diary of Anne Frank is ok, but not something I want in my collection. But I saw a bit of Larceny, Inc today and I’d say that one’s one for my collection. I’d seen it before. Very good movie.
Lonewolf, very good. I don’t know why I didn’t try to get that into my collection sooner. I saw it for the first time about 6 or so months ago and saw a bit of it today. I remembered it instantly. I think I want to have this in my collection by the time I get to the L’s
Grog, I saw a news story about a family that was robbed clean. Their DVD movie collection of over 500 movies were stolen, well all except one, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. That movie was thrown across the room.
Grog, I saw it a long time ago. All I can remember is that I really did enjoy it. I like to see it again. I may be able to find it on Netflix, along with Larceny, Inc.

Hi, Doc! How is the moving going? Has Krewel found another place to live? When’s the deadline?
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Doc - I understand completely. What is even harder when the parents have to let their adult children experience “tough love.” I’ve got a brother (now 61) who quit a great job before he was 55, spent his 401K on a trip to Europe, and then when he wouldn’t take just any job, became homeless. After Dad died, he thought he could just move in with Mom, and I had to be the “bad guy” (at her request) to make him leave. This was way before the economy tanked, and I’m sure he could have found menial jobs, but he thought he was too good to do those on a regular basis, however, he’d do worse jobs on a “day laborer” basis. Go figure! My sister thought I was being heartless, until she started circling want ads for him, and found out he wouldn’t even apply for them.
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Doc - That is one good thing about the military, they don’t have any problem giving “attitude adjustments” to new recruits.
It seems like most kids in their 20’s cause their parents a lot of worry until they settle down and become responsible in all areas of their lives. Of course, there are some that never do, and cause their parents grief the rest of their lives.

By the way, I hear the Twins are selling out their new stadium. Now, is that because (1) it’s new, (2) the weather is nice, or (3) they are really that good?
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Good morning, Grog & Bunnyface! Bunnyface - Were your ears burning yesterday? We were talking about you at the dinner table. The conversation went from “abnormal” to “Abby Normal” to the definition of an “Abby”. I guessed an Abby is where the Abbot lives, but didn’t check that out. Then I mentioned that one of my gocomics friends is a real monk, and I could ask you. That brought a bunch of other questions, many I could answer, but a few I could not. One that I remember is: Do you pray in Latin or English? (At least when you’re praying with the others.) We read the Brother Cadfael series several years ago, but that is about the extent of our knowledge of monasteries.
bmonk almost 15 years ago
No burning ears, but I might have been napping at the time…
An Abbey (note spelling) is an independent community of monastics under an Abbot (monks) or Abbess (nuns). (There are exceptions–some friars live in abbeys,and so on.) The word comes from “Abba”, Aramaic for Father, as used by Jesus, since the “Abba” (or Abbot/Abbess) takes the place of Christ for the community.
We use mostly English in prayers, but have a few Latin parts, such as occasionally the Mass ordinaries (Sanctus/Holy Holy Holy, Agnus Dei/Lamb of God) or the Gloria, or the Marian Antiphons at the end of Vespers. The Schola also will often do a bit of Gregorian Chant, which naturally uses Latin. (And then there’s the Kyrie, Greek…)
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Thanks for the explanations, bunnyface! Let me check to make sure I understood correctly. All Abbeys are monasteries, but not all monasteries are Abbeys or Abbesses? What is the difference between a nunnery & a monastery? I thought the difference was just whether it consisted of females or males.
bmonk almost 15 years ago
Actually, Cadfael is a pretty good intro to monastic life–at least the medieval version. (In fact, since each monastery is basically pretty much independent of every other, each monastery has its own tradition and style of life, so it can get pretty hard to generalize about monastic life, just as it’s pretty hard to describe the “average” family, and for the same reason.)
But some things are still recognizable, even though much has changed in the past, umm, 900-1000 years.
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Glad to hear that Cadfael was fairly accurate for that time frame. That’s how I found out about the series - our homeschool history guide recommended one of the first books, just to get a feel for that time frame & culture. After we’d read the whole series, we watched as many of the movies we could find in the library. Fun to look at the costumes, and listen to the music. Also was a good way to get my sons to understand why they should never subsitute the movie for the book without the instructor’s approval. (Who the villain was, changed from the book to the movie.)
bmonk almost 15 years ago
Well, a nunnery is a monastery of nuns, female monastics. But the word is archaic by now. Monastic is generic, and refers to either monks or nuns.
Also, “convent” usually refers to a house of women religious, but it really refers to the cloister, which all monasteries have. It’s our private area, from which outsiders are (generally) excluded.
Besides Abbeys, there are also Priories (generally smaller, dependent houses, under a Prior or Prioress), and some just use “Monastery” as well–especially houses of women monastics, since they are (in America) not allowed to be Abbeys, and “Priory” or “Convent” has other connotations.
bmonk almost 15 years ago
BTW, I may not be much in evidence the rest of the day–certain members want some notes I need to type up…
Smiley Rmom almost 15 years ago
Okay.. If I’ve got it straight - Monastery is a term for any Catholic community of celibate individuals - males or females. Monasteries can be Abbeys, Priories, Convents (non USA), or just plain monstaries. Is that correct? BTW, we went to a friend’s funeral who was (Greek - I think) Orthodox. I know the church has a lot of Lebanese descent, so whatever variety that would be. It was interesting listening to the music/chants. A big difference than what we experience in our churches.

One evening a blonde went to seafood restaurant for dinner. When she saw the tank where they kept the lobsters she asked a waiter, “Why are those creatures in that tank?” “They are the lobsters we serve our customers!” answered the waiter. “You mean you’re going to kill them,” said the blonde. “Absolutely,” said the waiter. The blonde was so upset that she immediately exited the restaurant, drove to a nearby convenience store, purchased hefty bags and returned to the restaurant to accomplish her covert mission. Taking pity on the poor creatures, she waited until the moment was right, and snatched all of the lobsters from the tank, threw them in the bag, and hightailed it out of the restaurant. Later she went to the woods to set the poor animals free.

There is a blonde on a plane to New York. She is sitting in the first class section, but her ticket says that she should be in the coach section. A flight attendant realizes the blonde’s mistake and asks her politely to move. The blonde won’t move. All she says is, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, and I’m going to New York.” The flight attendant goes and tells all of the other flight attendants. They all try to persuade the blonde to move, but she won’t move. All she says is, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, and I’m going to New York.” The flight attendants go and tell the pilot about the obnoxious blonde. They tell him the only thing that she says. He puts the plane on auto-pilot and whispers something in the blonde’s ear. Immediately, she gets up and moves to her normal seat. Then the pilot goes back to fly the plane. The flight attendants are all very curious about how the pilot made the blonde move so quickly. They ask him and he says, “Oh, it was easy. All I had to do was tell her that the first class section wasn’t going to New York!”

While waiting at New York’s La Guardia Airport for passengers to board the business jet that I fly, I decided to watch a football game on the plane’s TV set. My location, relative to the broadcasting antennas in New York City, made for excellent reception in the aircraft. When two of my passengers arrived, they sat down and became engrossed in the game. “That’s the clearest television picture I’ve seen in a long time,” one man observed. “It certainly is,” the other commuter said. “Do you have cable?”

My sister landed a good job with an accounting firm, and after a while she got a generous raise. The day she found out about it, her husband picked her up from work, and they stopped for ice cream. As they continued home, my sister blurted out, “Isn’t it hard to believe that I have a job that pays this much money?” Just then, she went to toss the last of her ice cream cone out the window. However, the window was closed, and it smacked against the glass. Her husband replied calmly, “Yes.”

My first day of employment - So after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day…. About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. I said pleasantly, “Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart.” “Nice children you have there. Are they twins?” The mean, ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, “They ain’t twins. The oldest one’s 9 and the other one’s 7. Why would you think they’re twins? Are you blind, or stupid?” So I replied, “I’m neither blind nor stupid, ma’am, I just couldn’t believe you got someone to sleep with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.”

David filled his car with gas at a self-service gas station. After he had paid and driven away, he realized that he had left the gas cap on top of his car. He stopped and looked and, sure enough, it was lost. Well, he thought for a second and realized that other people must have done the same thing, and that it was worth going back to look by the side of the road since even if he couldn’t find his own gas cap, he might be able to find one that fit. Sure enough, he hadn’t been searching long when he found a gas cap. He tried it on, and it went into place with a satisfying click. “Great,” David thought, “I lost my gas cap, but I found another one that fits. And this one’s even better because it locks …”

The Habs HAD a winning tradition. I think that changed with expansion and the importance of the all mighty dollar. It’s hard to believe, but the Habs did not follow the Yankees in padding the payroll to produce a winner.
In time, the City will get sick of it. They will not support a loser. They’re funny that way.

Hi, Carmy. Yes I did as Lonewolf reminded me a bit earlier. I have a pretty good long-term memory, short-term: not so much!
Thanks for the link anyway, Carmy Great stuff!
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Grog, there’s a big difference between what you can spend on a team in baseball and what you can spend in hockey. Montreal has not gotten good players in the draft either. It’ll change again down the road. Too much parity in sports.

Okay I’m ready to rock out…..Hmmm! Which CD should I listen to?
Ah! found one.
carmy almost 15 years ago
You’re welcome, Grog!
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Lonewolf, that has to say a lot about the current administration. They are former Habs greats, but I doublt their ability to assess talent. they can’t pick a winner any more than most lottery players
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
Must contain my excitement. :-)
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Grog, I hear you with that idea. I was happy when the Blackhawks got away from their “star” administration and went outside to get office help.
BTW–I got the recipe. Thanks.
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Good, Lonewolf. Let me know if you need the one about how to make a roux.
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
Back in a bit. I’m in a fight with someone right now.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Grog, If you don’t mind send me that one when you get the chance. I’d appreciate it.

Sorry–I had a meeting that crept up on me.

Hi Carmy and Fellow Baby! How are you two tonight? Busy busy day for me! :-)
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Made us wait all that time, Bunnyface
LOL
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Did you get your typing done, Bunnyface?
carmy almost 15 years ago
Hey Dry and bunnyface!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Hi bunny!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
What happened to my adopted son? Johnny, where’d you get to?
bmonk almost 15 years ago
I got quite a bit done–a good review to boot–but not yet done. Heck, I had seven pages of notes–and they were not complete…
carmy almost 15 years ago
Dry, I was busy, busy too. I’m tired! I got a giggle of girls here and one of them invited a friend to sleep over. There’s 5 silly girls here, 6 if you count me.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Where are you at LuvH8.
I would feel silly asking the same questions within minutes.
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Hi Dry, I had a busy day, too. I think I may be lights out as soon as I get this recipe scanned & e-mailed.
carmy almost 15 years ago
(((((Poor Grog))))) It’s still early for you too over there in Texas.
Dry and Dusty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Carmy well, your house must be ROCKIN’ tonight!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
I only had time for my favorite comics this am before work, and have been pretty much on the go since! Still need to grap a bite to eat.
carmy almost 15 years ago
Dry, no, no. no. no rockin’. They’re being quiet right now. The big laugh fest was during dinner. My girls were talking about “when they were little.” Most of the stories I knew about, but some of them, I was like, WHAT?
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Lonewolf, I just realized that you do not need the recipe unless you want to make a darker roux. You can follow the recipe for making the roux on the second page.
Be carefull though. Chef Prudhomme calls it Cajun napalm. It is extremely hot and sticks to your skin. So try to avoid splashing it on yourself. I beleive Rmom made a comment to that effect last night.
As for beef stock, you can make your own or buy from the supermarket. Make sure it’s beef stock and NOT beef broth.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Grog, I understand. If I have any Qs, I’ll ask you. Thanks, again!
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Carmy 10PM Texas time is my usually time to nod off. I’ve stretched considerably during my days off while getting up about 1-2 hours later to make sure I meet my early morning appointments. I see it’s already 10Pm, but do not plan on staying up too much later. I still have to get up early in the morning - AGAIN!
bmonk almost 15 years ago
@Carmy, wait until they’re adults, and they can really tell all the stories without fear.
carmy almost 15 years ago
Grog, I hear you. It takes it’s toll if you stay up late too many days of the week. bunnyface, I know and that scares me too!
bmonk almost 15 years ago
Well, I hear my beddy bye calling…
Goodnight to all, and to all a good night!
carmy almost 15 years ago
Goodnight bunnyface! Have a blessed day tomorrow!
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Carmy, I forgot to set my alarm and barely got up in enough time to meet my appointment time this morning. I’m glad daylight woke me up. If it were normal working hours I would have been a couple hours late for work. Don’t plan on trying to do that again!
carmy almost 15 years ago
Uh oh, there’s trouble in River City. BBL!
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Good night, bunnyface
Lonewolf, I think LuvH8 has checked out.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Good Night, Bunnyface!
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Grog, even I thought you were up awful late. And that’s saying something for me to think it’s late.
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Lonewolf, it was one of those nights where time just passed by so quickly. Before I knew it, I was posting the breakfast menu. After that, I thought I may as well look at the comics.
I’ll let someone else have the honor of posting breakfast tonight though. I have no intention of staying up that late this time.
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
Okay I’m back.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Grog, I was going to get the breakfast last night, but you got there first.
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
The Diary of Anne Frank is ok, but not something I want in my collection. But I saw a bit of Larceny, Inc today and I’d say that one’s one for my collection. I’d seen it before. Very good movie.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
I would have said something about how late it was, but you said you didn’t have work today.
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Quite true, but everyone was screaming for ice cream!
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Grog–Once I start on a brew, ice cream is out of the question.
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
Dry and Dusty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Grog I hear you about late nights, I’m heading out myself!
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Uh-oh! Here we go again. What ever you you want, LW18
Lonewolf once I start a any kind of drink, anything sweet is out of the question!
Dry and Dusty Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Grog, bunny, Carmy, and Shika,( if you make an apppearance), I’ll see ya’ when I see ya’!
(Not if I see you first, eh Shika!)
carmy almost 15 years ago
You’re going sleepers, Dry?
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
I hear you, Grog.
Same again
carmy almost 15 years ago
Goodnight Dry!
Grog, who comes out in Larceny, Inc.?
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
I’ll have a vanilla. I need to cool down.
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
Thank you kindly,Grog.

I was thinkking about that Star Trek episode where Chekov is being poked & prodded by the medical staff & complaining about it,
Sulu says, “You’ll live.” Chekov says, “Oh, yes, I’ll live, *but I won’t enjoy it”
That;s exactly how I felt this morning!
carmy almost 15 years ago
Grog, I had to get up really early to be a chauffeur. I set my cell phone alarm and I had to resist all temptations to not hit the snooze.
carmy almost 15 years ago
LOL. Grog I always liked Chekov.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Grog, I’ve had just a few of those mornings in my time! LOL
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Here you go,LW18
Carmy: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034965/
I’m sorry but at this point, I couldn’t be bothered to type in the cast members.
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
The Habs failed me tonight, but the Kings so far are doing good.
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Now I’m thinking of that Deep Purple song, Lazy!
carmy almost 15 years ago
Thanks Grog! I’ll have to see if I can see that one. I don’t think I’ve seen it before. I do love Edward G. Robinson.
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Surprise, surprise, LW18. I hear the distant sounds of choking.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
That is a good movie choice, Grog.
carmy almost 15 years ago
Grog, I was looking at movies with EGR and I noticed Brother Orchid. I saw that one before, Bogart is in it too.
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Lonewolf, very good. I don’t know why I didn’t try to get that into my collection sooner. I saw it for the first time about 6 or so months ago and saw a bit of it today. I remembered it instantly. I think I want to have this in my collection by the time I get to the L’s
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Carmy, I don’t recall seeing that one. Looks like a fantastic cast.
It’s listed as a comedy/crime/drama/romance. Does it really fit all those genres?
carmy almost 15 years ago
Grog, I saw a news story about a family that was robbed clean. Their DVD movie collection of over 500 movies were stolen, well all except one, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. That movie was thrown across the room.
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
Choking! Yikes!
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Why are you choking, Ladywolf?
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
Lonewolf & LuvH8, the HABS are collectively choking!
carmy almost 15 years ago
Grog, I saw it a long time ago. All I can remember is that I really did enjoy it. I like to see it again. I may be able to find it on Netflix, along with Larceny, Inc.
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
I’m not choking! Not yet anyways.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Aaaaah, now I see……………………… Missed that one completely!
carmy almost 15 years ago
Grog, I do remember getting a kick out of watching EGR trying to be pious.

Hi, Carmy & Grog!
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
Now it’s……
YAY!Grog would you rather, I cussed when My team blows it.
carmy almost 15 years ago
Hi JFri! How are you doing?
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
LW18 I’m not sure which would be funnier. I suppose it may depend on the cuss word.
Hi JFri
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
Hey! Pat Sajaks is at the La Kings game.
The Duke 1 almost 15 years ago
Carmy, a very busy but productive day! I may get a part time teaching gig at a local community college!
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
I’ll spin again. Maybe I’ll get Vanna!
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
I could go for that, too! At least a good look……..
GROG Premium Member almost 15 years ago
I think it’s time to go nod off. This time I’ll order someone else’s breakfast. See y’all on the flipside of night time.
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
Drats, I think it’s a slang word. Anyways I use it when I think something doesn’t quite go right.
The Duke 1 almost 15 years ago
Good night, Grog.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Good Night, Grog!
carmy almost 15 years ago
JFri that sounds good. What would you be teaching?
Goodnight Grog! Have a great day tomorrow!!
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
See you on the other side of the moon, Grog.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
I’ll catch you after the turnover, Ladywolf.
The Duke 1 almost 15 years ago
Carmy, a class on rope (construction, fibers, care & maintenance) and how to splice it.
carmy almost 15 years ago
JFri, interesting…is the local comm. college close by?
The Duke 1 almost 15 years ago
Carmy, yes, about a 15-20 minute drive from here.
carmy almost 15 years ago
JFri, that makes the gig all the better.
The Duke 1 almost 15 years ago
Carmy, that it does! And it pays $44.64 per hour.
ladywolf17 almost 15 years ago
I’ll Be back by turnover.
The Duke 1 almost 15 years ago
