Congratulations EE - Messages From Your Minions
Portrait by Antony B
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?
123 comments:
FYI, EE's next appearance here will be at 9:00 ET. Not that we're trying to shoo him out of here early!
Hey, you all...
1-what costume
2-EE- anything stinky?
3-EE- the earlier list for Kiersten - is that about blog entries or work stuff?
4- Hi you all!!!!!
No shooing!!
And Kiersten, dear, compared to you, I am OLD. And quite ambivalent about, if I may say.
Sheesh, I just got comfortable and you run us out.
Reminds me of the time I came back to a hotel that was on fire.
Robin, you were in the Martha and Tilley do Evil Editor's Party with a feather fan. ROBIN was across your butt.
I need to do the second part of the story tonight.
Were you returning to the scene of the crime or just shocked?
You just chased EE off?
WO, me?
Julie, you did get my humble apology, right?
And Phoenix, I'm so glad to hear it. I think it's really silly that our culture dreads something that happens to EVERYONE no matter what. Big deal.
Yes, I'm working on your book cover.
Oui, thee. I've never had a hotel burn down on me and I'm interested. Where did you sleep?
lol, WO.
No, no. EE is supposed to still be here now. For another 30 or so. Then he gets a 2-hour break. It's HARD work being the life of the party, yanno.
If that's you in the picture with the tiger, you're not old.
Kiersten, dear. The reason Martha and Tilley are such vivid characters is because I am old. I'm just harassing you and WO.
Not that I will admit to smelling like a bear, but I am "mature." Well, not really mature, I did go play lazer tag with my son a while back.
Okay, if EE is still here--the first two seasons of Alias, or the first two seasons of lost--which were better?
How's my book cover going, EE?
By the way, I'll be sending you some of my ickup lines throughout the night, and some of them will even be in the contest.
No one here is old. It's just fun to make jokes about ; )
I'm about to hit the big quarter-century myself. It's about freaking time.
Ickuping already, Robin? You must be very drunk...
1. Vampire
2. feet
3. Face-Lifts
4. Hi.
pickup lines. pickup lines.
What's great about that picture is that there's zero objection on the part of the tiger — not even a milk? why thanks, but I could do without the sissy bottle...
Your cover's great, though I must admit all the people who've done it themselves are much better than the ones I'm doing.
WO, I was at the Rapid City bucking horse sale. I used to ride bucking horses and was the first woman to ride at the bucking horse sales. A bunch of cowboys and me went out partying and it was about 3:00 when we staggered back to the hotel. The firemen had hoses running up the stairs and told us we had to wait to return to our rooms. I told them I was tired and going to my room and waved at them.
I had another horse to ride the next day, a broken wrist and I was tired.
It's really me with the tiger. I just airbrushed out the wrinkles and touched up the gray hair before I published the pic out. AARP will likely start calling sometime this year.
Wow, HRH. You can certainly be succinct.
I am hardly ever succinct. Bummer, huh?
Kiersten, I saw what you said earlier - about being worried about us - and finding out we were nice. That was sooooo sweet, honey!
This conversation is harmonising like a barbershop quartet razoring each others' throats.
See, Julie? So much COOLER than I'll ever be, too.
Kiersten, I will be 56 in September and I just enrolled for sword fighting and armor making lessons.
The firemen had hoses running up the stairs?
Hey WO - how's the weather?
How's the sport? How are you?
See, Julie? So much COOLER than I'll ever be, too.~
Laughs Hardly. If I'd known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.
I can't tell you how excited I was when you invited me to be part of this shindig, and over all of the great reaction to my writing exercise. Seriously, it's wonderful. Being a young stay-at-home mom is VERY lonely and boring sometimes. You guys make my day on a regular basis (EE included, of course, especially if I ruin his faith in humanity).
The big quarter century?
Weather is dark, sport is out of the question and I have a pulse.
WO yes, they had hoses running through the lobby and up the stairs. I'm quite sure they would have kept us out if it wasn't mostly put out. Not really sure what the guys did. My room was on a different floor and I just trudged up to bed.
We're so glad you're here! You're our baby minion!
56??? Are you kidding me? You aren't even old at all. Sheesh, all this time you actually had me convinced.
And besides not being old, you sound more and more awesome every post.
I'm in such good hands.
WO- you have a pulse. Ha!
Me, too. We have so much in common.
Except those socks, precious.
Yes, WO, I'll be twenty-five next month. I had a husband, a BA, and a baby all before I turned twenty-one. I've always been an overachiever.
Okay, another one out of the way. These are so good I should post one a day like cartoons instead of all together.
JW - I'm surprised they let you in. Structurally sound hotel.
Great story, Julie!!!!
Kiersten, enjoy your babies. Make time for yourself when you can. Take bubble baths.
Steal that 30 minutes a day to write. Do it for yourself.
I'm just amazed at how much you manage to post, EE. And it's all good, too. Do you never sleep, or does your actual real-life work stink?
EE, how long are you gonna be around right now- are you breaking soon? I don't want to miss anything, so I'm planning my night around your schedule. Even my husband doesn't get that treatment all the time (although OK - he does sometimes - but he's out of town tonight, so....)
K - the best I managed at the age of 21 was moderate skill at remaining upright.
My husband's pretty great about helping me take some time for myself. And I do enjoy my babies--they are absolutely delightful. I should post a picture for y'all. Seriously, they're so beautiful it's kind of weird. They look like their daddy ; )
I was planning to leave at 7 and return at 9. Of course the good stuff happens when I'm gone anyway.
WO--still a valid skill all these years later.
Wes, thanks.
I got on my first bucking horse at the Miles City bucking horse sale when I was 17. I lied about my age so they would let me ride.
I went up there with friends and swore them all to secrecy so my mother wouldn't find out. A reporter did a story on it, but I figured it would just be in the local paper.
Apparently it made national or near national news as my family all knew about it before I got back to the ranch.
It was not a good thing.
MISS SNARK was just here- she posted at the front door!
She loves you, EE!
I'm probably taking off from 7:00 to 8:00 Eastern, as i have osme contests to enter, and some writing to finish for both BT and McK.
Hi Wes, I wondered where you were yesterday!
Julie, these sound like stories that need to be written.
Snark was before my days. My heart belongs to EE alone.
Since no one answered my question about if the hand was claimed, I hereby claim it.
*Ties a mining claim to it. Weathers One, bounded on north by arm.
And I shall never abuse it.
Julie,
I hope you'll be on the blog when EE rips apart my next query. It involves horses.
Hold it, baby. That hand is definitely mine. I was nice about the kneees.
But hands have touchy fingers. Oh no. mine.
EE, look at it this way, we are in awe of your presence when you are here.
When you leave, all restraint is lost.
He has two hands, I claim the other one.
Forgot about the picture. Body part, weredingo, or room of house. Pick 1.
Thanks, EE. But you can feel free to mock it to your heart's content.
And just so he doesn't feel bad, we could agree to tell gory childbirth stories while he's gone. Then he'll be glad he left. Julie had four kids--I'm sure she's got a lot to talk about.
Wes, be happy to, but I rather doubt I can give you much advice. That is a nice looking buckskin you're riding. Quarter Horse?
Last time I take a loo break in this bar.
I vote weredingo.
All three.
Goodnight fellow followers of EE. I'm headed to a party, but one that probably won't be as good as this one. Thank you, Phoenix and Robin, for the hard work you put into this. And thanks, EE, for being EE.
See you, Wes.
Happy trails.
Bye, Wes - have fun!
Forgot about the picture. Body part, weredingo, or room of house. Pick 1.~
We get to pick a body part?!
Tackles Robin and muzzles her. I pick--
What are we voting on?
Now - how about it- all three- or at least room and body part.
weredingos only if they actually are doggies. As in yours.
Bye, Wes.
You are all aware that blogger is going to go down in about five minutes, right?
And for anyone who wants to say Oooh and Aaah, I'm posting a picture of my kids on my EE tribute page. Limited time offer only.
Yep, quarter horse. He's got a great disposition, and he's willing and athletic.
Room of house sounds like the safest bet for my ignorant 50p.
Did you guys see ril's new tribute page?
I said pick one, but you had to get greedy. Now I'm considering zero.
WO- you're such a GUY.
It can't just be the room - although I'd love the room with a body part showing IN IT, with the doggies.
Curses, blogger is eating my posts. No picture yet.
That's not nice.
Kinda like Robin.
Bye.
Did Ril do another one, or is it the brilliant one from before?
I said pick one, but you had to get greedy. Now I'm considering zero.~
*Gasps and points at Robin.*
She's the greedy one, I am delicate like a flower, and sweet.
It's a good page. Shame he's strung out in Japan — possibly the most out of synch place as far as this blog's concerned this side of Jupiter.
Oh- it's the brilliant one from before - glad you saw it!
EE, come on. Do I have to beg?
I'll try to get a picture while I'm gone. Do I send it to Phoenix?
I think he's gonna be on tonight - later on.
Wes, you are such a sweetie. Does Robin appreciate you?
A lot of Quarters do have very nice dispositions and they are definitely athletic.
Hell no. Who asked? Huh?
Seeya at 9.
Delicate like a flower who lies about her age and sneaks into rodeos against her parents' wishes. Who also sleeps in burning hotels...
EE leaves and all of blogger shuts down in mourning.
Pics on my tribute site of the kids--I have to show them off, they're the best things I've ever created ; )
Wahey!
Blogger reanimates.
Where's the Emergency Minion Reinflation Kit?
Robin, Wes said his horse had a very sweet disposition like you.
Where's the Emergency Minion Reinflation Kit Detector?
All horses have sweet dispositions. And great, great nostrils.
Delicate like a flower who lies about her age and sneaks into rodeos against her parents' wishes. Who also sleeps in burning hotels...~
Well, they wouldn't let me ride if I was underage, but yes, I cannot tell a lie, it was a lie.
They knew I was going to the bucking horse sale, they just didn't imagine I would be riding.
I think the fire was out when I went to bed.
So, you have a nostril appreciation?
That's a new one.
Sure, sure.
I guess you can still be a delicate flower.
Ah! Those equine 'strils!
Robin, apparently I posted the wrong version of the story. You're supposed to be in there with a ROBIN butt.
I will remedy that shortly in the final installment.
I guess you can still be a delicate flower.~
Of course I can. Shy, bashful and delicate. That's me.
Ah! Those equine 'strils!~
Hmmm, yes. *backs away slowly and gives WO lots of room*
Julie, were you the one awaiting a new grandbaby today?
You think I'm a werehorse?
It's just the way thay sniff at apples, that's all. Prehensile nostrils - like a short version of what elephants have.
Kiersten, yes. Just talked to son. Laura has been in labor since midnight. They are taking her back to do a c-section in a bit. He asked me to wait until she was out of surgery.
WO, I love horse muzzles. They are like velvet and so inquisitive. As you said they do a lot of probing with it and it's quite amazing to watch them.
You juggle childbirth and horse anatomy with such deftness - and that's the first time I've said that to a lady for some time.
Our mares love water, so if you don't hold the water hose when you're filling up waters, one of them will pick it up and bite down on it so she can spray the others. Then, when she drops it, one of the others will pick it up so she can get wet.
Ah, bummer. Went through that with my first. It's very, very hard. But the baby will get here safely, and that's what counts. Are they having a boy or a girl?
Wow. Some people know how to milk the open bar, don't they?
You juggle childbirth and horse anatomy with such deftness - and that's the first time I've said that to a lady for some time.~
*Blushes furiously*
Why thank you.
Round 6! Now that Blogger is reanimated... But one more prank like that and I'm calling the police. WO was that you? I'd ask Julie, but she'd just lie anyway ...
So I was right. Much in common with elephants.
Kiersten, little girl.
My middle son's wife had a girl three months ago. There was a huge fight over the name Stormy. My oldest son, the one having baby tonight offered to trade middle son a dually pickup for the name.
Phoenix.
Possibly. I get weirdo text screaming across my browser frequently when I'm on Blogger.
Hey- y'all -
just popping on to say- thanks for the head up Julie- you sweetie- I didn't see that about the horse and Wes- hope his horse is actually sweet and not ornery!
I'll check out the story when I come back 'for real' in a bit.
Bye for now!!!
