[Sally, la reina]

Apropos to nothing prior in this thread, I came here to say that I want sometimes just to write a short story to release a little bit of memory while also managing to retain it as well.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I see.

[Félix]

I . . . uh.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

[Félix]

That's one nice looking head of broccoli.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yes, it does look fresh and ready to cook.

[Phil]

Firm, yet supple.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

[Félix]

That makes my heart rate acceleriate.

[Phil]

Perhaps that is something you should ameliorate.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

If RA were here, he would have started a thread about that papyrus discussing Jesus and his wife.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

[Phil]

That can't be him because the real Mittens would never take off his magical mormon garments.

[Jackie]

What does that even mean?

[Scout]

It doesn't matter. Political crap. Look up Prince and Rebuild the Dream. This is a good idea.

[Cynthia]

These days it would not take long for someone to call those pretty babes "fat."

[Phil]

Security tapes from Jennifer Aniston's house.

I wish we had a Russian member. I have so many Russian questions, like, do they have jack-o-lanterns in Russia?

[Cynthia]

Also, can a Russian see Alaska from their house? Do they look, or do they avert their eyes? Are they horrified or enchanted by Sarah Palin?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm going to guess horrified.

[Félix]

Disinterested at best.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

You mean impartial?

[Félix]

Unconcerned.

[Cynthia]

Blase'

Random picture.



Park Falls, Wisconsin

That is way north, not all that far from Duluth, MN.

[Jim]

Have you been there recently? I love the Park Falls area. At least late spring through early autumn.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I actually haven't been there at all. I just saw that picture on a blog and it was so pretty, it looked like a great spot to vacation. I just love vacation houses on the water.

[Phil]

One of our guests lives in Richland, WA. That's right next door to Misha.

Where the hell is Misha?

[Félix]

Right next door to Richland.

[Phil]

:)

[Félix]

I haven't seen her here in a while.

[Phil]

Was wondering today if Gail or Evie have ever used the term 'fair dinkum,' or 'plonk' or 'drongo.'

[evie]

I have probably said "drongo," but not recently.

"Fair dinkum" = no.

"plonk" I've said that.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I've said "Get that dingo away from me, I'm footy tipping!"

[evie]

Were you on the plonk ?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yes, I was walking the plonk.

[[deleted user]]

I've said "plonker", but never plonk. What's plonk?

[Emily]

Booze

[[deleted user]]

Ah. Not even closely related.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The square brow is IN, bitches.

[smetchie]

Spy give you a bad do recently, Barb?

[[deleted user]]

Maybe they'll just give you the amnesia pill from Torchwood, Barb.

[Phil]

My cousin posted the following on FB. Can anyone translate for me (beyond telling me my cousin is a pretentious northwest snob)?

"I am thankful for my Zoka coffee brewed in my Moka pot! Great way to end a busy week with very little sleep and too much to do. Thank God it is Friday!"

What's so special about zoka? What's a moka? Why do so many people enjoy telling everyone how much they have to do and how little time to do it?

[Félix]

I don't have time to explain this to you.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Never heard of Zoka and Moka. The coffee I drank today, "Java Delight," I bought at a Walmart Supercenter near my vacation rental. I did, however, brew it in a Croka with a Bloka.

[Phil]

I just went to the Zoka website and the first sentence of "History" told me all I needed to know. The shop was started by a UW grad, and those people are pretty much all pretentious assholes whose shit don't stink.

The coffee is something called "single origin." While I don't know what that means, and I certainly don't care, I do know that it's pretty damn snobby.
