EE has to repopulate the earth 'single-handedly.' No humans are left. Which does he choose?

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 ...~
*Gasp* But I would lie delicately.
Who wants air when there's beer to be had?? And many, many kudos to the ever-hilarious Ril, by the bye.
Now I'm off to the contests to see if I have even an ounce of creativity left after drudgery. I mean after work. Heh.
Delicately like a velvet-wrapped hammer, I bet.
Is Scott still here? We need all hands to the udders.
Hello, Scott, and whatever do you mean?
It's an open bar.
Ah, Weathers...I get it. How funny! So who won? I always say she who delivers first gets the name.
Is Scott still here? We need all hands to the udders.~
That is udderly ridiculous.
I am for a brief moment. Udders?
Oh.
Teehee.
Middle son won. Oldest said he would trade him the pickup for the name, but then Cody would probably name her that anyway and he'd have to go to Oklahoma and whip his butt.
I didn't intend that as a faux pas but it kind of looks that way in retrospect.
Phoenix, no just delicate, no hammers. Yet.
I find it funny that people are always thrilled when relatives name babies after them, but furious when they use the same name as their kids...
That was a lot of pronouns.
Mt brother named his daughter after my sister's horse...
I am at a loss for what to make for dinner. And my house is a wreck. It's a good thing this party happens only once a year.
Was the horse thrilled or furious?
How did his daughter feel about this when people reminded her of that fact for the rest of her life?
You can never go wrong with noodles.
Well, the horse was gone before the girl got to Junior High.
Samantha ain't too bad a name for a horse or a girl.
Oh, that's a pretty name. I was thinking Lucky or something.
Thanks, WO, but I realized I can make BBQ chicken with rice and peas. I just didn't want to have to go to the store.
Bad for a guy though. Lucky your brother had a girl. And a horse.
I'm back and counting down to my Thursday night lobotomy - Ugly Betty
Scott, one of my oldest son's bucking horses is named Stormy Weather. They had already decided on the name before they thought about the horse's name.
Now, I think they are going to name her Samantha.
Ugly Betty? Lost? Heroes? What is it with me and the current crop of US TV shows?
I don't get on with any of these at all.
I had a friend name a bitch after me once. I gave her to him, she was sweet, but very ugly. I had traded for her and wasn't going to breed her. He loved her so much he named her after me in appreciation.
I was...underwhelmed.
Yes, but did you like the British "The Office"?
Stormy Weather as a name for a girl will assure you of two things. The girl can climb well on a fire pole, and Girls Gone Wild will try to recruit her out of the phone book.
There's a song titled "Samantha" in HIGH SOCIETY the musical version of The Philadelphia Story...
Yeah, that's definitely not the most flattering thing, Julie. I think people shouldn't give pets normal names. It just makes it awkward. I'll never be able to take the name Chloe seriously, as she was my pug that I had all growing up.
If I ever own a horse I'm not going to call it anything.
I wonder - are all the anonymi on EE's blog named after Clint Eastwood's horse? If you were guy with no name, you wouldn't waste time dreaming one up for your horse.
It's when people call small yappy dogs Zeus that I get hot under the collar.
I just buried a dog named Waldo and now I want to have a son to pass the name on...
Anybody game?
Well, Anything would be a weird name for a horse. What would you name it instead?
Scott, Stormy was their grandmother's nickname, though I think the main thing was they both liked the name.
Oldest son rodeoed with a girl named Stormy. We used to tell him they would be a good match. He wasn't so enthusiastic.
Eh, I like having my husband's children, thanks.
We got offered a thousand dollars to name our son Ernest. Didn't take it.
I would, Scott, but Waldo is such a...unique name.
Maybe we can just practice while we think about it.
Stormy Weather (1943)
Directed by Andrew L. Stone. With Lena Horne, Bill Robinson, Cab Calloway. The relationship between an aspiring dancer and a popular songstress
Song by same name made popular by Billie Holiday
Julie! We all knew you weren't a delicate, shy, prudish flower. It's those rodeo days, we're bringing it back out of you.
Great chat up line, Scott.
(looks at watch and checks that - yes - it is nearly one in the morning and we're talking about names for horses, pauses, and says...)
Geoff.
I named my 10 lb little Silky Terrier - General Robert E Lee and called him "pooch"...
Terriers demand a military monicker.
That's perfect.
My husband once dubbed a stray cat who adopted my family's house The Archduke Ferdinand.
It worked.
Hmmm, trying to think of our horse names now.
Ryonstone Cowgirl
Skidboot
Five Of Cash
Wiley Quixote
Otoes Gold
Red Badger
Diamonds Are Nice
Wiley Woman
Quixote Cash
Ryonstone Cowboy
Hai Five
He saluted every vertical surface in my house.
And he tried to mount a full sized German Shepherd once.
Military maneuvers!
Lawsy, we're in the oxygen bar??
Dave, *glares* no naming compact dogs after the General.
So - who would win in a 100 yard hurdle dash over the backs of JW's horses?
The Archduke Ferdinand, General Lee, Chloe the pug - or Wes's horse?
Place your bets now...
Kiersten
I am so delicate.
I had a dog named Tut once. I named her that because my girlfriend's dog was named Mutz and I called her "mutti" (umlaut over U)and my sister had a dog named Dude that I called Doody.
I wanted to "Mutti Tuti Doody" all day...
I never called him that - I called him "pooch" and that's what he got used to.
WO
None. Skidboot is notoriously territorial. We can't even pasture breed with her around. Everything has to be hand bred or we have to lock her up so she doesn't drive the stud away.
Crap- Missing I on the first Tuti!
Scott - dogs like that need identical hand-knitted uniforms. And their own TV show.
My sister had a dog boutique, so they all got "costumes"...
We're talking big dogs here. Tuti was a biker chick...
My niece has a dog named Brandy (a Brittany) and another named Mollie (no clue as to breed). They used to own a boxer named Claire. I liked Claire. She could slobber on my knees when I was sitting down.
Does she bite, kick or simply cuss petualntly?
A bloke down the road runs a mobile dog grooming service - essentially a washing machine and a box of dog biscuits in the back of a transit van.
It's a form of madness.
My brother has horses and ponies. Each year, he does pony rides in the local park. He gets calls about the horses being left out in the rain. Do they get lonely.
One night he left the stallion alone with a mare for obvious purposes and the county police called him saying a woman complained that they were enjoying themselves in the corral.
My collie is named Wenzel, named after a sleeping bag.
WO-
She bites, kicks and squeals at the stud.
We used to worry about dogs bothering the horses, but they are all cutting bred so most of the time they surround the dog and won't let it out of a circle. The dog is normally ready to leave by the time we call the horses off.
One night he left the stallion alone with a mare for obvious purposes and the county police called him saying a woman complained that they were enjoying themselves in the corral.~
Laughs
Were they telling him this with a straight face?
One of my neighbors got 8 donkeys (all female) and one stud. I drove past once and there was no mistaking that one of the donkeys was not a gelding. Before she figured it out, they had three extra donkeys.
They are all geldings now.
Chloe's dead, so she's probably out of the race.
Kids are awake, the house is a mess, real life calls.
Later.
jw- Who wins with the horses and a heeler? I bet they do figure eights...
I've never thought about naming an animal after a sleeping bag, though I did name one bitch Painted Saint.
Julie: No, the county police were giggling all the way through the phone call and for several days thereafter.
A heeler was what they had trapped when we first moved out there. Funny how fast cutting horses can move.
They even try to work plastic bags and cats, chickens, anything that comes in the pen with them.
If you do, I think Coleman is still available...
Julie: No, the county police were giggling all the way through the phone call and for several days thereafter~
I would have told the neighbor she owed me money for the show.
The stallion pulls a cart and when he's getting it ready, there's usually one little kid who wanders over, big eyed, and looks at the "boy" horse and asks about that big thing there...
Wenzel turned out to be a male name in German "One with the most glory"...
I changed it to "one with the most biscuits"
Dave, ummm, yeah that happens.
Scott, too funny.
Time for bed.
It's been fun but I've got to go and name a few spectral sheep...
In case y'all don't know - you can't have one horse. They get lonely. You need two. That's a barn with stalls, and about four acres divided into two pastures and proper electric fencing. You feed the darlings at least once, more like twice a day.
Too much work for me.
Night, WO.
Bye all. Bye Dave!
bye Scott
Night, Scott.
I walk in on a conversation about horses? My favourite subject behind hockey and writing.
My friend and her family raise Belgians. Her dad paid $12,000 for a stallion that's shooting blanks. He called the insurance company and the guy said if the horse fell out of a plane or got hit by a car, he'd get his money back.
Shooting blanks? No dice. I suggested a massage and a copy of Penthorse and the stallion would be right as rain.
Where did everyone go?
If it fell of a plane or got hit by a truck - great insurance policy.
Hey- I'm back. What's going on around here?
Dave- did you see Miss Snark had visited?
Hi Chumplet!
I didn't see that. I wasn't here.
Chumplet, any time anyone buys a horse for breeding purposes there should be dna tests involved if they aren't Arab, Quarter or TB to verifiy parentage if possible. They should also have a clause in the contract about breeding fitness. Your friends should be able to get a refund from the breeder/seller. I would also want a semen sample tested anyway.
I made it back (the window refused to close...)
I can't believe this. I now have to go and pick up my daughter and her three friends from the lacrosse game- because the other mom, who was the picker-upper mom (I had been the dropper-offer mom), FORGOT them.
Wanna guess what bad words I'm thinking?
Back soon...
You guys stick around if you can, OK???
I saw her comet trail twice. The horse thing reminds me of the Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Insurance cartoon. Herd of elephants and a black eye. Pay up.
Parents bought a charolais, expensive charolias, bull once who wasn't breeding. The breeder agreed to take him back, but before we could get him back hunters shot him.
Not sure how they thought a 2,000 pound snow white bull looked like a deer.
Sure, I'll be here.
But I'm not sure how much animal husbandry I can comment about since I never participated in it.
One of those mythical white stags.
Greetings.
Pennsylvania used to ahve the major phone trunk lines strung overhead. There are 4 inch thick cables with 2000 wire pairs.
Every hunting season they were the "stress relievers" for those who never got a deer.
Now they are underground cables.
The old slent treatment, eh? Guess I'll go continue the story.
EE!
So, how was Lost?
You git yerself back here, EE.
*Tosses a hoolihan loop and watches it settle neatly over EE's shoulders."
Now wait just a minute, Pilgrim.
Didn't watch Lost. Watched Betty, with commercial breaks at the Montreal-Philly game. Now we're on CSI.
LOST is on opposite ER at 10pm.
Speaking of movies - The female lead of Angels and Demons was announced today.
Lost is at 10. That's why I'm here now.
Is she an angel or a demon?
Ah, that's right. EE had to change his time so he could watch it at 10:00.
I have Celtic music playing instead of the tv, since I actually am trying to work on the query from hell.
I forget things. I'm old.
100 is old.
Oi! I leave for a few minutes to fix dinner, and you guys have closed another round. Wow!
Whaddup, EE?
Let's see, when you're twelve, twenty is old. When you're thirty, sixty is old. How old are you, EE? Eighty?
I didn't read "Angels and Demons" But "Ain't it Cool News" says that she get Robert Langdon involved in a terrorist plot while trying to solve a murder.
This gal was the pretty young terrorist girl in VANTAGE POINT.
Guts! HGI?
Old enough to know you're trying to trick me.
Meh, it goes. *grin* Never been abbreviated to Guts before, though. Kinda has a ring to it.
You?
Old enough to know you're trying to trick me.~
Snickers*
Hmmm, apparently not as drunk as we thought he was either.
100 is old?
Hopefully, when I am 100 I will have just enrolled for a new class. Maybe painting.
When you're 100 give me a ring. I'll toast you.
I'm not as think as you old I am.
You guys forget: evil is immortal. EE will be around long after we're Dustin DeWynde. Er...dust in a grave. Heh.
George Burns wanted to live to 100 because, he said, "Very few people die after 100."
They just fade into the sunset.
EE, it's a deal.
I agree with George Burns.
Chumplet, *snicker*
In a just world, people would be immortal unless they screwed up.
EE, I have a question for you. If you don't mind sharing. What, if anything, are you reading for pleasure now?
I'm supposed to judge the pickup line contest. Has everyone got their entry in?
Amen to that.
The undead do seem to age well. Hi ya, EE! I think we need a new round?
ME
I just finished Passion Play by Sean Stewart. My next book had better be Homicide My Own.
crap, pick up line? No, let me go post something. Not that I am good at this. I am delicate, after all.
Back shortly, off to see if there are any pickup lines that would work on me.
I finished "Homicide My Own" and I am dreading "Twilight"...
Going back in the archives for Passion Play, EE?
I'm supposed to judge the pickup line contest. Has everyone got their entry in?
Mine are in. They're terrible -- not even pick-upy -- but they're in. *snerk*
On to Round 7 while we work on serving up another surprise!
