I can't possibly be the first one here...

Robin S. said...

Yes, in return for mine.

Julie Weathers said...

Why yes you are,

Julie Weathers said...

Of course, it took me longer because I had to gather up my denim-clad knee.

Dave Fragments said...

Ah feels like Foghorn Leghorn..
The Golf channel, I said Golf Channel is boring, pretty but boring.

kirsten saell said...

Curse you, julie! But I have me my pegleg. Is it wood, or silicone?

Phoenix Sullivan said...

Sorry to keep moving you guys but, you know, we have to clean the tables, pick up the empties, bounce the rowdies...

kirsten saell said...

Nothing cooler for a fetishist than a detachable body part.

kirsten saell said...

just try and bounce me, pheonix, see what happens

Julie Weathers said...

Completely off topic. I carved a Jack Sparrow Pumpkin for Halloween and it turned out pretty cool.

Ok, now back to sweet knees in need.

Brenda said...

Did someone mention Gregory House???

Julie Weathers said...

Bounce the rowdies?

But I'm delicate. Please don't bounce me.

Julie Weathers said...

Yes, we seem to have House fans in the house.

Evil Editor said...

Yes, we were discussing House.

Sandra Cormier said...

If you think golf is boring, try watching darts in hi deff.

One Hundred and Eighty!!!!!

kirsten saell said...

I had the hots for Hugh Laurie back when he was the stupid prince on Blackadder.

Dave Fragments said...

In the realm of the completely ridiculous, three college guys sitting right behind Barrack Obama as he spoke last night wore Abercrombie and Fitch jerseys.
Now the talking heads are all asking if this was a plot, or a product endorsement.

Like I said - in the realm of the completely absurd. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Phoenix Sullivan said...

I may be 5-foot nothin' Kirsten, dear, but I have a very powerful finger that can delete every one of your comments - like you were never, ever here.

Sandra Cormier said...

I loved Hugh Laurie in Black Adder.

kirsten saell said...

"I say, Blackadder. Why would a terrorist want to kill you?"

Julie Weathers said...

I really do adore that sarcastic wit. Of course, he's easier to adore from a distance.

I could do without the detective, though.

Anonymous said...

Having the Golf Channel in the background is like having the fireplace channel - helps set a mood without actually demanding any attention.

I had TEN continuations?

Man, I'll have to do something about all the mercury eating my brain. If my brain is rotting that badly, I'd rather it was due to copious intake of high-value single malt.

kirsten saell said...

All right, Pheonix! Uncle! Uncle!

GutterBall said...

Beer. Must have beer. Sorry to be so late, guys, but I had to be a nice person today. And understanding. Thus, the need for much beer. Heh.

A toast! *lifts mug*

Here's to the Army and Navy
And the battles they have won
Here's to America's colors
The colors that never run

May the wings of liberty
Never lose a feather


Or, for a more festively appropriate toast:

Yo, EE! Got a message from the Big Evil. Says your two years are up. He'll send a runner to pick up that soul you owe him tomorrow. Can he get that gift-wrapped?

Robin S. said...

Heh heh, phoenix. We little chicks gotta stick together!

Julie Weathers said...

*Passes out the armadillo egg appetizers.

Dave Fragments said...

Darts in Hi Def?
When they have football strikes, several sports fans held "hunting shoe" throwing contests.

(I should talk the way I listen to classical music 24/7)

kirsten saell said...

That's a bunch of continuations, jeb. I just had the one or two...

Robin S. said...

Hey gutterball!

Julie Weathers said...

Oh, Gutterball. Love both of those toasts.

Julie Weathers said...

"Can he get that gift-wrapped?"

--snicker--

I can't even START on that line!

kirsten saell said...

Hey, gutterball, aren't you another longtimer? Skoal!

Robin S. said...

EE- did you see that Saipan Writer is back as well? She posted a comment at the Front Door for you.

kirsten saell said...

Anyone here know what became of Urnama?

Julie Weathers said...

Hunting shoe throwing contests?

Phoenix Sullivan said...

I didn't delete that comment, I swear! Oh gosh, I HOPE that wasn't Kirsten's :o)

Thanks for being such a good hostess, Julie!

Evil Editor said...

You guys are hilarious. You should all have blogs.

Evil Editor said...

I did just go read the front door and the basement.

Sandra Cormier said...

I thought they were hunting boots.

Julie Weathers said...

*laughs*

Much fun

Dave Fragments said...

Pennsylvania is the home of football and hunters. If you can't watch football, then you must watch another sport.

Tie eht laces together and throw them over something. As long as a six pack and other football fans are sloshed and slightly pickled, it's great fun.

Rolling Rock and Uncle Bud - not that pansy Bass Ale or warm Canadian stuff they think is beer.

Better yet - Old Frothingslosh - the pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom.

Julie Weathers said...

So, EE, do we get minion membership cards or do we have to join the union first?

GutterBall said...

Heh, yeah, I'm a long-timer. I've fallen out of touch lately because of too little time to blog much, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of it. Plus, I miss reading the continuations. Tee hee.

*bows*

As for the toast, well...heh...I'm just the messenger.

Julie Weathers said...

We had a potluck at work today and one of the guys brought armadillo eggs. Yum.

Cream cheese stuffed jalepenos wrapped in bacon.

kirsten saell said...

Ooh, Pheonix, that was the comment where I posted that link to the pics of me, EE and Miss Snark in Paris.

Kidding

Julie Weathers said...

Well, I love the toast. I may print it out and put it next to the No Parking sign above my desk.

kirsten saell said...

Julie, being of a culinary mind, I will tell you it is a rare food that can't be improved by the addition of bacon.

Kiersten White said...

And the kids are out for the count. And turning on Star Wars entertains my hubby as much as it does my kids! Excellent. So, I have to ask, how tall are you, Phoenix and Robin?

Dave Fragments said...

Cream cheese stuffed jalepenos wrapped in bacon

Oh My! I'd check into the hospital first and die second with my allergies.

Robin S. said...

Night night guys- have fun!

kirsten saell said...

So, ME said something about adult content. Does this mean I'll finally get to see your cruise missile tattoo, EE?

Sandra Cormier said...

Hey, Dave... them's fightin' woids! At least Canadian beer has taste (if you don't count the Canadian beer that has no taste).

EE, some of us do have blogs. I think you made history when you visited mine for the first time today! Woo Hoo! I think I'll bronze it.

Julie Weathers said...

Julie, being of a culinary mind, I will tell you it is a rare food that can't be improved by the addition of bacon.

Agreed. Of course, my killer cupcakes are best without bacon.

Wonderwood said...

Night, Robin. Thanks again!

Julie Weathers said...

*comforts Dave.

what are you allergic to in the armadillo eggs?

kirsten saell said...

Yup, Dave. No beer snobbery allowed. At this point, the only criterion that matters to me is alcohol content.

Julie Weathers said...

Night, Robin. Thanks for hosting this with Phoenix.

Anonymous said...

Calling it a night, guys.

More tomorrow, hope I don't miss anything important!!!

ME

kirsten saell said...

Julie, have you ever actually tried them WITH bacon?

Evil Editor said...

Night, seeya tomorrow

kirsten saell said...

Ciao Robin.

Julie Weathers said...

Whoa! EE visited your blog?

Did he show you his knees?

Evil Editor said...

Think I'll call it a night too. 15 hours in front of the screen is as exhausting as golf.

Wonderwood said...

Hiya GB! Long time no see, I hope you're doing well.

kirsten saell said...

Only the right one, the left is mine. MINE!

Julie Weathers said...

fudge chocolate cupcakes with cheesecake filling AND bacon?

My heart skips a beat just thinking about it and not in a good way.

Kiersten White said...

Goodnight Robin and EE. I don't know if I can handle another day of so much entertainment...

kirsten saell said...

Good night, EE.

Julie Weathers said...

Night EE, it was fun.

kirsten saell said...

Okay, Julie, first we eat the bacon wrapped around soya sauce soaked ater chestnuts, then we eat the cupcakes.

Wonderwood said...

Good night, EE.

Kiersten White said...

So, Kis, are you a Krsten, or a Kearsten?

Julie Weathers said...

Kirsten,

Deal. Now who had the beer?

Phoenix Sullivan said...

Thanks, EE!!

Julie Weathers said...

Phoenix, you all did a great job.

Phoenix Sullivan said...

Kiersten, I think Robin and I are about the same height. 5'0". Are you one of "us"?

Evil Editor said...

Night.

kirsten saell said...

I have beer, but I'm not sharing.

And actually, Kiersten, I'm a Karen, but I can't very well write dirty books under my own name, now can I?

-kis

GutterBall said...

Wonderwood! *glomp-tackles* How are you?? Definitely long time no see!

I've been shamefully remiss in my blog rounds for a good three months now, haven't I? *sheepish*

G'night, EE! May the Good Dream Fairy thwap you on the head with her Wand O' Wistfulness!

kirsten saell said...

I'm also Danish, so definitely a Keersten.

kirsten saell said...

Mallet of wistfulness.

Anonymous said...

Oh, yay - tomorrow is another whole day of hangin' out :D

My taxes are done - I can booze and banter with a clean conscience!

But for now I'm gonna go watch old Stargate SG-1 episodes.

'night, all.

Kiersten White said...

Definitely one of you, Phoenix. I'm 4'11".

And your comment made me laugh, Kirsten. I never would have guessed it was pronounced Karen ; )

My parents added the "e" so that people would say my name right, but all it means is that now people can't say it OR spell it.

Julie Weathers said...

Night, Jeb.

Xenith said...

Shouldn't you all be in bed?

Julie Weathers said...

Kirsten,

Danish? That's great.

Julie Weathers said...

Hey, Xenith.

Actually, I should be writing the second Martha and Tilley story, but I am having too much fun here.

kirsten saell said...

I'm feeling all tall somehow.

5' 8 1/2", all muscle, boobs and stretch marks.

Dang, Kiersten, you just can't win. You'd be amazed how many people call me Carol or Carrie when they ask my name. And spell it Karin unless I tell them otherwise.

Phoenix Sullivan said...

Hey all, Robin would thwap me herself if I didn't put out another reminder about the contests! Less than 9 hours to go - and for many of us, those are sleeping hours :o)

But tomorrow's another day and four more different contests!

kirsten saell said...

You're not Danish, too, are you Kiersten?

Anonymous said...

91 comments in room 7 of the bar!! Wow.

Cheers!

kirsten saell said...

Well, Danish-Canadian.

Half of me is Danish, the other half is pretty much everything else...

Julie Weathers said...

Phoenix, I will try to do a limmerick, though I am not poetically gifted.

Julie Weathers said...

My grandparents were from Denmark.

Kiersten White said...

5'8", you're an amazon ; )

And I can't believe people can screw up Karen. Amazing.

Of course, I did the same thing to my poor daughter, named her Elena (ell-ay-na). So people reading it pronounce it wrong, and people who have heard it spell it wrong. Just keeping up the cycle.

Xenith said...

The contests require too much thinking!

Phoenix Sullivan said...

A couple of drinks, Julie, and it won't matter whether you're poetically gifted or not.

Kiersten White said...

Also, I need help! I'm looking over a story that's being published next month (happy dance) and I am wondering--

I kid you not
or
I kidd you not?

GutterBall said...

Hey, I posted a limerick! It was stupid, but it did have a zombie cow. Heheh.

More beer! And then it's time for bed. Guh. I gotta go to work tomorrow. AGAIN.

Julie Weathers said...

Well, I will try to do the limmerick, but the story will have to wait until tomorrow.

Kiersten White said...

Okay, stupid question. Nevermind. Sometimes my brain stops working.

Dave Fragments said...

I had to be off line for a while.
Egg protein is one of my allergies.

Kiersten White said...

I have another question, not a stupid one this time.

All of you who have had things published, do you start freaking out right before, cursing your excessive use of commas and wishing you had done one last edit?

Phoenix Sullivan said...

If y'all will kindly step over to the next thread, please. Just so refreshes are faster and you don't have to scroll down as far. It has nothing to do with my being a control freak. Nothing at all.
