ril said...

Whoa. Guess I'll come back later...

GutterBall said...

Ril's back! And Wonderwood! Woot, the party can start!

Phoenix Sullivan said...

Stay Ril!

Evil Editor said...

Party? Let's work out some cartoon captions.

Phoenix Sullivan said...

We're rolling people out of the last Bar thread and over here. Should be a full house in a moment.

Julie Weathers said...

Oh, after reading those pick up lines I am not even trying.

GutterBall said...

Heh, cartoon captions. Yeah, I've been meaning to try that....

Julie Weathers said...

Cartoon captions?

A. said...

Hey :)

ril said...

Cartoon captions? Nah, I'm not very good at those...

Evil Editor said...

Too many good pickup lines, I wanna judge a different contest.

Robin S. said...

Hi ril!

Robin S. said...

Oh- I have to send in my pickup lines.

GutterBall said...

Whaddup, a.?

Heh. That was kinda fun to type. Punctuation in action, as it were.

ril said...

Hey, Robin.

Just got in. Another conference call. Freaking Hollywood.

Evil Editor said...

We have a and ril. Are there any minions with two-letter names?

Sandra Cormier said...

Ril, I absolutely loved your 'THIS IS YOUR LIFE'.

A. said...

ME is two letters :)

Evil Editor said...

Ah yes, ME

ril said...

Thanks, Chumplet. It was great fun to do. Nice to give something back, too.

Evil Editor said...

Or is it ME ARE two letters?

Sandra Cormier said...

Mine is two syllables.

Robin S. said...

Hey ril,

Are you gonna keep that blog up?

Hope so!

Dave Fragments said...

Bear attack on Grey's Anatomy. Fatal brain tumors. Broken love affairs. Fun all around.

And they are advertising the Sex and The City movie.

ril said...

Hey, Robin.

I'll try, but not sure how long I can, ah, keep it up.

Robin S. said...

Hey you all- check out the picture now. It's changed.

Sandra Cormier said...

Habs-Flyers is going into overtime.

Evil Editor said...

I can't watch more than 1 medical show a week or hypochondria sets in. And of course I go with House.

Robin S. said...

Are you ever in DC, Mr. D. Entendre?

Julie Weathers said...

ril, that blog was hilarious.

A. said...

I'm not watching Grey's Anatomy yet, punk :) But that sounded like every episode...

Still watching Ugly Betty...

Phoenix Sullivan said...

EE photo #4 has been posted.

Robin S. said...

Am I the only one here that doesn't watch much TV?

ril said...

Hey you all- check out the picture now. It's changed.

Hey, I know that house. Sorry, EE -- let me know if you want that widescreen TV back.

Robin S. said...

Yeah- that would be the photo that I didn't receive, YRH.

ril said...

I don't watch much TV.

Anonymous said...

I've already pissed off two people today so I'm posting cautiously.!

ME

Evil Editor said...

Why can't we all live in the same time zone?

Sandra Cormier said...

Betty was over for us an hour ago. Don't worry, no spoilers.

Rocks fall. Everyone dies.

Dave Fragments said...

I only saw HOUSE on reruns and I'd rather watch them there. I never did figure out why he pissed off the cop that was after him.

Robin, I watch very little tv. I used to watch the history channel, civil war journals and Cowboy U.

I try to catch House now, but that's about it. Most of the time I am listening to music.

Anonymous said...

Ril you are hilarious!

Evil Editor said...

Sure you don't. Golf Channel, Kitchen Nightmares, I could go on and on.

Xenith said...

Blogger doesn't like me today...

ril said...

Why can't we all live in the same time zone?

Whoa, thanks for the invite, EE. I'm packing now, I'll be there in about 20 hours. I'm not fussy about what I eat, but I like a soft pillow.

A. said...

No, it's me... I was out, so am watching on DVR now...

Phoenix Sullivan said...

Just two, ME? Afraid you won't piss off your quota today?

Julie Weathers said...

I love that picture. Puppy is so cute.

Have to say I am in love with the floor, though. You don't really see nice woodwork much these days.

Anonymous said...

The horsebreeding chat earlier was conducted in real time with only a few people. I bet this will post 13 more than it is now, so that would be 56.

ril said...

If you knew me in real life, you'd think: Mildly amusing, maybe, but I've seen better...

Scott from Oregon said...

Dave- He put a rectal thermometer in the guy and then walked out of the room...

A. said...

Awwww... love the dog.

And the floor.

It all looks very clean...

Xenith said...

Worked that time, yah. So anything exciting happening?

Robin S. said...

Gold Channel is mainly John. Gordon Ramsay is a once a week BBC America rerun because most TV is crap. I like a few sitcoms, and that pretty much takes care of it, Sparkster.

Wonderwood said...

I watch The Office, that's about the only show I try to catch every week. ESPN, TBS, and the History Channel are the most used channels on my TV.

Julie Weathers said...

So, EE invited us all to come live with him or is ril special?

Phoenix Sullivan said...

Only 3 people want to vie for the honor of ending the party short story? Now those 3 are very capable Minions, but just 3 ??? You have till 8 am ET tomorrow (today for anyone in London and points east) to drop your name in the virtual hat.

Anonymous said...

Is EE off reading pickup lines, yathink?

Anonymous said...

Is EE off reading pickup lines, yathink?

Robin S. said...

No one would think they'd seen better than you, ril.

Evil Editor said...

Me too. If you met me you'd think, WTF? He's not even funny.

Evil Editor said...

ril said...

My teachers all said I was special.

Robin S. said...

Hey Wood, How are ya!

I do like The Office. That's one of the sitcoms.

Phoenix Sullivan said...

With that werepuppy around, EE needs no other pickup line.

Evil Editor said...

Christ, do you ever get out from in front of the TV?

Robin S. said...

EE- how could that possibly be true?

Also- how can your floor possibly be that clean - you have no kids at home, do you?

Wonderwood said...

I'm fine, thanks, Robin. Just watched the show, no enjoying some blog time. How you doin'?

A. said...

Yes, The Office is my fave, too...

But for several years I worked full-time & went to law school at night, so yes, I watch a lot of tv now that I can...

And I also read for enjoyment...

And take art classes...

And um, guitar lessons :)

Julie Weathers said...

Me too. If you met me you'd think, WTF? He's not even funny.~

Scuse me, but it's impossible for anyone with muttonchops not to be funny.

Evil Editor said...

Yes, I just say, would you like to stroke my dingo? Works every time.

Robin S. said...

Hey, Sparky - man-of-no-photo-sending...

ril said...

Wait, does The Adventures of Debbie on VHS count as TV?

Robin S. said...

ME- sorry you had a problem earlier- was it today?

Julie Weathers said...

My teachers all said I was special.~

I bet they did.

Evil Editor said...

Time to go watch Lost. Back at 11.

Phoenix Sullivan said...

I thought about you earlier this week, Robin. I was offered 2 tickets to the Byron Nelson. Not my thing, but if I thought you could fly on over on a moment's notice, I would have made you write 3 limericks not about EE for them.

A. said...

Very true, Julie :)

Robin S. said...

Damn. This is wonderful guy heaven, ladies, let's just lay back and enjoy.

Hi you all....

Sorry - I'm just basking in the moment.

Julie Weathers said...

Yes, I just say, would you like to stroke my dingo? Works every time.~

*gasp* You have a dingo? Is it wild?

Dave Fragments said...

He put a rectal thermometer in the guy and then walked out of the room...

THAT'S ALL? I had three surgeries each a week apart thanks to appendicitis and intestinal blockages. You wanna talk about embarrassing stuff?

Robin S. said...

Oh, I love live golf! I'd have come, girl.

John would have, too, though, so we'd have had to pretend to behave!

Sandra Cormier said...

The Habs won in overtime!

Julie Weathers said...

That detective in House really almost ruins the show for me. He is too blasted manipulative.

ril said...

I tried golf a couple of times, but could never get past that freaking little windmill.

Scott from Oregon said...

"You wanna talk about embarrassing stuff?"

Sure Dave, whatcha got?

Wonderwood said...

I'm playing golf Saturday, can't wait. Watching golf is just a good excuse to take a nap.

Robin S. said...

Is the Adventures of Debbie what I think it is?

I have better adventures for ya. Check out Blogless's blog tomorrow,you all. My meme, a nasty critter, will be on there, with, I think, photos of me from the times I mention on the meme.

Phoenix Sullivan said...

Go Habs! Habs? Who are the Habs? And are there any Hab-Nots?

Xenith said...

Shouldn't a weredingo look more, um dingoish? I think you might have got a dud there :(

Julie Weathers said...

I tried golf a couple of times, but could never get past that freaking little windmill.~

rofl

Playing miniature golf with a bunch of "relaxed" cowboys is fun.

Robin S. said...

ril, no putt putt, son! You're a Brit. Isn't it un-British not to like golf?

Tell him, Wood.

Phoenix Sullivan said...

If there were windmills at the Byron, I would have been there in a flash. Or if Wonderwood were playing.

Dave Fragments said...

some poor half-dead man just burst into flames on ER. It's going to be such a happy episode tonight.

ril said...

Don't like cricket either.

Just shoot me now.

GutterBall said...

I don't do much TV. I love movies, though. Currently watching Mystery Men. Again. Heh.

If it's not DragonBall Z or football or Heroes, I pretty much give it a pass.

A. said...

I'm with Ril...

I prefer put-put, but I'm lousy.

ril said...

Is half-dead a precise medical term, with objectives measurements, or just an estimate?

Julie Weathers said...

I don't know why I bought two Lord of the Rings soundtracks.

Anonymous said...

Yea, the contractors showed up to look at the fence the 30 foot fir fell on in Feb. ( I swear those "f's" just kept coming. And these guys were NOT like your roofer pal, ?? name?? Rod?

ril said...

Hey, you promised you wouldn't tell them you were with me!

A. said...

A true measurement of death? Hmmm...

I have always wonder if "inches from death" is really that exact a measurement...

ril said...

Ah, Rod. Yes, he knows a thing or two about nailing a soffit.

GutterBall said...

Oh, mini golf! I am SO heinously bad at it, but I looooove it! So much so that one of my books has a pirate-themed mini golf course that is described in retardedly overdone detail. Woot!

Sandra Cormier said...

Half-dead is like being slightly pregnant.

Dave Fragments said...

A rectal thermometer is not embarrassing. Teaching how to put in catheters and drainage devices to an audience of the opposite sex is.

A. said...

Pirate mini-golf? Knock the ball through the pirates mouth and watch it come out through the eye-patch? That would be fun!

Julie Weathers said...

Gutterball, that sounds fun. Of course, I am on a pirate kick.

Wonderwood said...

Phoenix, I don't know that you'd want to watch me play golf, my language can get pretty foul if things aren't going my way. Wouldn't want to ruin my carefully crafted persona of a southern gentleman.

Anonymous said...

GTB - is it Adventure Golf?

Anonymous said...

Like with waterfalls and such?

Julie Weathers said...

Time to go make pancakes. Who wants some?

Phoenix Sullivan said...

Who's ready for Round 8? Last call before lights out here.

Robin S. said...

I love Rod the Roofer. I miss him.

I freakin' love that name, although I don't actually know anyone, besides him, with that name.

GutterBall said...

Heheh, the sea serpent straddling the water hazard was the best part, A. All those coils, ya know. Heh. Or maybe the squid with the randomized animatronic tentacles moving over the hole....

Julie Weathers said...

Scott, that would be pretty horrific.

Dave Fragments said...

There's too much anger in DragonBall-Z

Anonymous said...

Read comments 112-115 out of context and they are hilarious in a way.

Scott from Oregon said...

It's how I got hooked on House and American Idol...

ril said...

There's not many names/jobs that works well with. Alvin the Accountant?

Sandra Cormier said...

I'd like to see Australian Rules Golf.

A. said...

Ohh... the squid would be tons of fun :)

Anonymous said...

Rod's a bum. I know the guy, he owes me money.

Robin S. said...

How can you tell which number is which?

Dave Fragments said...

I'm done playing Scott. Sorry about that.
Rectal thermometers are overrated.

A. said...

How do you know the comment numbers?

ril said...

Hey! I never want to hear "Rod" and "bum" in the same sentence again.

Robin S. said...

Are we moving to the new bar room?

A. said...

Oh, there's a new room?

Robin S. said...

Can I say I want Rod to visit my bum?

ril said...

I ain't going first. It's a trick!
