EE Partying Down With Minionites Chris And Robin
Picture by paparazzo Antony B
EE has to repopulate the earth 'single-handedly.' No humans are left. Which does he choose?
127 comments:
first!
Hey, it's all different in here. And so quiet.
I was just sweeping up the peanut shells and found this huge diamond in the midst. I think it must be Miss Snark's.
This bar's a bit empty. Did you play the old 'let's tell McK we're going to another bar, when really we're not ' trick? Sniff.
I think I scared EE.
Naw. We're all just slowing down, McK.
McK, they might have been trying to get rid of the gnomes.
Heh, I just slipped out to check the ol' inbox before moving into the new bar. Boy, I haven't been online for this long a stretch in AGES.
Julie, does the pic now in the sidebar help any? It's blown up a little.
Down, Gutterball. Not that type of blown up.
Hunger is winning here. I'll go get some food and I'm not sharing, because you all abandoned me for at least two minutes. Don't talk about me while I'm gone.
Ril -
You have a picture and everything!
Loved your tribute!
I offered you pancakes... I don't want to hear it.
Seriously, what gives? That's TWICE now that you guys have left while I wasn't looking...
Trying to tell me something?
I gave myself permission to be online this long and goof off this long thanks to politics.
I'll never repeat the words I yelled at the TV coverage of the primary election but suffice to say, they were very, very bad words.
Down, Gutterball. Not that type of blown up.
Awww, nuts. Just ruin all my fun, why don'cha?
Did we lose, EE?
ril,
Now is THAT really you?
You know, if you come in the front door, the first thing you see is that glowing-eyed weredingo beneath the title Our Guest of Honor. So does EE have one more tantilizing digital/visual aid?
ME
Where's our EE boy?
I gotta go - and I want to say bye bye.
Is that EE's doggie? Cute dog. He's got that "take me outside, please!" look.
Thanks, I am still going blind, trying to figure out what kind of wood that is.
Does Gball like explosions?
Hate to bust up the party, but I just posted Robin's 6 Random Things. With pictures.
Robin, this was a great idea. I'm so glad you did it with Phoenix for EE.
Robin. Yes.
Yes. Gball likes explosions. I feel they liven up a place.
I wish I could figure out how to add pictures but I am completely tech challenged.
I do, too. Like explosions, that is. My wip has a lot of them, mostly accidental.
All right, I'm out.
Night, guys.
So does EE have one more tantilizing digital/visual aid?
I'm quite sure he does, especially the tantalizing bit, but he isn't sharing. Unless ...
I'm back. I was reading the room that went by while I was watching Lost.
Hey Julie. I'm so glad you liked it, and you came. You all are such great people. Really.
And ril, is the yes a yes to yes that is really rilly you? This year, or close?
Hey BT- you put my pictures up, huh? Ha! robin in the 80s and the 90s people. Go have a laugh when you have time. Also - my meme is all true.
Yeah, I gotta sign off too! I'll lurk a bit longer, tho'.
Robin and Phoenix,pjd and BT and McK and whoever else donated, Deece, and EVil, you too for blogging over here instead of over there, and all those oand helped this along, THANKS!!
ME
Night A.!
This year. Just a couple of weeks ago.
Ironically enough, Julie, only about half my novels have explosions. Of course, the ones that do have LOTS of them. Heh.
All I can say is that it's probably a good thing for the world that flat feet kept me out of the Army, because I was honestly headed for the explosives division, which would probably have led to a life-long career on a Bomb Squad somewhere.
Night night to the early faders...
:)

Heh, heh. You're so cute.
Night, A.
Robin, I had fun. I still need to post the second half of the EE party on my blog.
Bye ME! Check your email. Let me know if you need anything else.
Oh- how sweet is that, ril!
Honestly.
Good night to all who are taking off - I'll be here for another few to squeez a word or two out of the guys- then I'm gonna look at BT's blog, as I'm on it.
Definitely huge thanks to Robin and Phoenix for putting this all together. And for remembering an ol' drop-out like me, heh.
It was good to reconnect, so thank you both. Last round's on me.
Why thank you, ma'am.
Gutterball, I researched fireworks for quite a while for the book. Much longer than I needed to, but it was pretty fascinating.
GB- we need to see you more!!!
ril, your ma'am-ing makes me smile and smile.
EE, are you all warm and fuzzy and happy, sweetie?
I once had to research fireworks and that's FUN!
things that go boom and sparkle
I'm not fuzzy.
Oooohhhh, fireworks! That's a whole different animal, but right up my explosive-loving alley. Whatever you do, don't just throw the last few packs of fireworks together in a big metal coffee can and toss in a lit sparkler.
Heh. Good times.
Those muttonchops are pretty fuzzy. And as for that hairy palm, earlier...
EE: I'm not fuzzy.
Lies! We've all seen the muttonchops.
EE is not fuzzy? Proof, please. More pictures, for instance.
Oh, hell. I just went and peeked at blogless's blog. He mad eme laugh my ass off just with the art (the arrow thingie).
So- um, my meme thing is a tad, um, blunt.
Sorry, EE. I think you're fuzzy, too. In only good ways.
My office was a half mile away from the explosives test mines at the Bureau of Mines. I used to have lunch with the explosive guys.
Do you all mind if I make an important announcement?
Samantha Lee has made her debut. 7 pounds of love, black hair and blue eyes.
Dave, I'm so envious! Did you plumb them for trade secrets??
You just gave birth??
OH - CONGRATS, Julie!!!
Love the name, honey!!!
My office was a half mile away from the explosives test mines at the Bureau of Mines. I used to have lunch with the explosive guys.~
My uncle and dad used to scare me witless at the mine. No common sense at all.
ril, you nut!
Shouldn't you have left the party for the hospital? Priorities.
What?
You just gave birth??~
Yes, Ril. I was going to leave for the hospital, but it was so much fun I decided to do it the old fashioned way, at home.
It's her grandbaby. Her grandbaby.
Not always born in the same town.
Guys. What can you do? I ask you...
I hope you didn't ruin another keyboard.
Shouldn't you have left the party for the hospital? Priorities.~
Phffft. Priorities were here.
And thank you, Robin. Since Stormy was taken, they settled for Samantha.
My oldest son and daughter-in-law.
I hope you didn't ruin another keyboard.~
No, I was chewing on a sock this time instead of the keyboard. Hate it when I get letters stuck in my teeth.
EE: I hope you didn't ruin another keyboard.
Ewwwwwwwww.
OK- EE- my fuzzy comment about ya just went to hell in a handbasket.
DId her water break on the keyboard? doubt keyboards ever recover from that. Anyway, congratulations on a beautiful baby.
GutterB and Julie - In this day and age, I rarely admit to how much I know about low and high explosives. But bear in mind, I used to work with high pressure hydrogen and that is very explosive.
Congrats, Julie! They can still call her Stormy, too, though.
Livin' life on the edge there, aren't you, oh miss memed robin?
Duuuuuuude.
Dave, you just shot to the head of my list of frackin cool people.
Oh, oh, I get it now. Congratulations, Julie!
As Grandma, you can teach the baby everything bad and naughty. That's the parents revenge on their kids.
Dave, that is pretty cool.
Did you read it? Ha!
What did you think about those pics?
The hair. What a scream.
I actually did break water at home with the first baby. It was about 1:00 in the morning and I was canning pickles.
I thought, "Oh hell, my kidneys broke."
Just ask anyone on the Hindenburg.
Thank you, Ril. Dave, I have to be good or son has promised he will bannish me.
Is it just me or do we get even weirder late at night?
Well, I hope EE pops backin so I can say night night to you all.
ril- I'm so glad you could come!!!
Just ask anyone on the Hindenburg.~
Yep.
WEll, it's not late at night here, so that theory's shot. Just plain weird all the time, I guess.
Is it just me or do we get even weirder late at night?~
Who's getting weird?
Whattaya mean pops back in? I've been commenting right along.
I had my share of explosions.
We once lit up the lab with hydrazine. That's the nasty rocket fuel they use and they have to keep people away from the space shuttle when it lands.
Robin: Is it just me or do we get even weirder late at night?
I'm not as thunk as you drink I am.
So, will this blog go poof after the party?
I do believe the cleanup crew just pulled up, however.
I wasn't accusing you of wandering, Sparky!
I want to say goodnight, and thanks for being such a good sport about all of this!
EE, do you mind sharing what kind of wood is in the inlay?
It can't go poof, it gets more hits than my blog. Which is teeing me off.
I believe Miss Phoenix, blog designer and runner extraordinaire, and amazing friend, is gonna hand the keys to this puppy, as a present, to Sparky.
You won't toss it will ya, Spark?
It makes for a very good memory, for all of us.
Oopsie, Dave. Did you have any eyebrows left? Or eyes?
But yeah, it is a little hairy to mention explosives online these days. Luckily, I figure everyone thinks I'm kidding about carrying around grenades. I mean, yeah, I pack a lighter everywhere I go (and no, I don't smoke), but other than the 4th of July and the occasional can of hairspray, that lighter pretty much stays in my pocket.
I have no idea. If that info is available I'll let you know when I find out.
Julie: wait untl you hand him the baby and say - here's the dirty diaper baby for daddy to love!!! Watch his eyeballs pop then.
My brother's daughter at 16, walked up to him and gave him her friendship ring and said "Daddy, tell the boy it's over for me! Won'tcha Daddy?" Please Daddy!"
That's what Daddies are for.
It can't go poof, it gets more hits than my blog. Which is teeing me off.~
Laughs. I doubt that.
I seriously was a little afraid to say a word there for a long time and wondered what kind of masochists hung out there. Then the light bulb clicked on at how much good information was there.
This blog should remain available for regularly scheduled chats.
I'm having trouble keeping up with all these rounds. Does anybody know who's paying?
Oh, I think that's a great idea!!!
Will you be able to sorta attach it to yours so it goe slive for chats from time to time? Is that what you mean?
WE'll all pay in the morning...
I say the tab goes to the distinguished-looking fellow in the muttonchops. He looks like he can afford it, anyway. Heh.
Julie: wait untl you hand him the baby and say - here's the dirty diaper baby for daddy to love!!! Watch his eyeballs pop then.~
Brandon was ten when our youngest was born. He used to change him and hold him all the time. He was like a little mother hen.
Hi saipan,
I hope we see you more often again, on EE's blog!
Saipan, I cleaned the bar last night so one tab should be paid.
This blog should remain available for regularly scheduled chats.~
That would be a fantastic idea.
I think a link and a schedule is all that's needed.
Well, I have to go. I get up at 6:00 am to get my daughter up for school. Unfortunately, high school here begins at 7:25 am. Stupid, but true.
Well, guys, I'm going to set up two new barrooms to use as you need, so stay as long as you like. The party goes on another 8 hours. AS DO THE CONTESTS.
The blog will stay open for awhile, so you can catch up with everything you missed. I'll post out all the pics and slideshows in case anyone needs any ripped-off, uncredited graphical fodder.
We'll announce winners of today's contests in about 11 or 12 hours, as well as the person tasked with writing the end to our story, and we'll put the whole story up in story form early next week (comments will still be up so you can still see who submitted which parts).
Glad everyone could come. Thanks for a grand idea, Robin, and to EE for being, well, EE. :o)
G'nite, all!
I gotta go. Got a Pickup line contest to judge in the morning.
Good night, Robin. And thanks for working with Phoenix to do this. You really pulled it off.
OK- great- phoenix - are you there????
Did you see what EE is gonna do?
Gotta go, you all.
Night night!!!
Well, folks, this insomniac is gonna have to brave the rigors of trying to sleep. Especially now that someone mentioned paying. Heh.
It's been fun, and thanks again to Robin and Phoenix for setting this up and for EE being such a good sport and for stopping in so frequently to yak with us.
Have fun! Be sweet!
But, for God's sake, don't be CUTE!
Night, night, EE.
Good night, Thanks for having me, it was a joy.
EE, if you were referring to my question about wood when you said you would check on it, don't bother.
It's just very unique. I thought you might know. Cherry, oak and mahogany I imagine, but can't figure the rest of it.
Night EE and Robin.
Can you drive okay, EE? Need a ride? Nice to see you again.
Another 8 hours! Okay. Let's keep going!
whoa, another eight hours of drinking?
Oh. Yeah. I'll be turning over ownership of the blog to EE after we get the final bit of story up next week. Then it's his to deface, blow up or cherish as he wishes. What he'll probably do is find a way to use all our comments against us. He IS evil, after all, right, Mr. Werepuppy Owner?
This was a triumph, Phoenix. Thanks.
What you got planned for next year?
I must go to sleep.
See you on the regular blog tomorrow.
I've heard he is evil, but how can you be both evil and fuzzy?
Night, Dave.
Dropping back in as you all drop out. Looks like I'll have to go and do some writing or something.
It's been fun! Thank you Robin, Phoenix and EE! I'll duck back later to see who's up.
Excellent job to all of you who worked on this blog.
Yeah, nice job, Phoenix.
(Anyone still awake?)
What you got planned for next year?
Letting someone else do the work :o)
Roll on over to the 11th Round thread, please. I'll shut this one down and leave y'all with 2 fresh threads to play on. See ya in about 7 hours!
