"... noooo; but I've heard rats giggling when tickled, does that count?"Ok, that's weird.

What? They DO! You have to have a bat sensor to hear it, because it's really high-pitched, but they are joyful little critters.
Also, one of my cats is ticklish ... but he doesn't giggle, he just wiggles ...

I started out with Batman ... the 1960s, campy Batman ... Then there was the SuperFriends (especially Zan and Jayna - they were my favorites) and the Teen Titans ...
Never heard of the the SuperFriends....LOLBatman is cool. I watched He-man too and fraggle rock and smurfs....care bears...

Superfriends....Meanwhile back at the hall of justice...Ok, so seriously...I feel REALLY old right now.

UUmmm....Now I must go look this up.
Y'all aren't going to believe this, but I actually had another dream about Splitter! Unfortunately, it was this weird thing where we were - well, together, anyway; I'd just had a c-section the day before and we were out at a bar celebrating the childbirth by throwing back shots ... and he kept calling me Murphy. It was way up in the mountains somewhere - probably Montana - where we'd gone to visit my dad (although my dad actually lives in the Eastern plains of Montana). It was ... pretty weird.But then it segued into a lesbian dream, so it was all OK ... X-D

One of the cool things about Australia is all the neon colored garbage bags... they come in lime, hot pink, yellow, purple... and they have appropriate scents to go with them. I have yellow right now and a lovely lemon odor greets me when I open the bin. Last batch was purple/lavendar....
Katy wrote: "Y'all aren't going to believe this, but I actually had another dream about Splitter! Unfortunately, it was this weird thing where we were - well, together, anyway; I'd just had a c-section the day..."And it turned into a lesbian dream?
Just for the record, I have only had one ex gf turn against men, and she did it in a big, radical way. There was much more to the lifestyle change than just women and I prefer to think that I ruined her for other men rather than drove her to it lol.
Now I find out that me being in a dream leads to lesbian dreams...not my first choice lol
I feel like the kid who brought his baseball mitt to the football game.

heheheh....is that some kind of euphemism, Splitter?Angela, I was about to say "How Cool is that?!" Then I wasn't sure if I should actually admit to getting overexcited about binbags....

It always helps to have the right equipment. If you don't, no one wants to play with you.

Hahaha... it's the little things in life that make it rich ;p
Splitter,That's why girls rule... we always have the right equipment. Even my gay guy friends said so; girls are fun to dress up and play Barbie if nothing else.
Can I still say "gay guy" or is that not PC now?
Wow... I am reading this great article on how to promote yourself on Goodreads, and I already learned something new... namely how to add your book cover (or any cover) and link to a comment post. AWESOME!
Here's the link to the article I'm reading:

Splitter, the dream involving you didn't turn into a dream about lesbians so much as I sort of woke up and then fell asleep again and, starting from a similar location/situation, it became about a woman with me rather than you. so - sort of the same, but not.And Murphy? *shrugs*
Ok well Murphy is Harry Dresden's kick butt sidekick in the Dresden Files and a couple people have compared my style to Jim Butcher (to which I say, thanks but since he has sold millions of book and I have sold , they really shouldn't insult him that way lol. Plus, there are other really big differences in our styles.)Maybe we were going to battle lesbian vampires?
Yea, Angela, women do rule. But thank goodnes they aren't overly picky or a lot of us guys would be lonely lol n

Did anyone see that episode of the A-Team with Murdoch being a nutter and Hannibal doing his best gay hairdresser impression?
I'm feeling the need to yell
"TerAAAAAAAsshh-BAAAAAGS!", reading all that!

Sure, Splitter. Just watch Mary Poppins.

I am still looking for giggling levitation geniuses, and I think Katy needs to take less sleep medication! hahaha!!
Phil - I think her levitation prowess came from her spiffy little umbrella she carried...I could be wrong though because I may be one of the only people who have not watched Mary Poppins...

They should have a rainbow pack, you never know what color you're g..."I wasn't thinking of that scene, but the one where the children and the chimneysweep (Dick Van Dyke) visited some old codger. Someone cracked a joke and they all floated to the ceiling laughing.

@ J.A. - of COURSE I saw it - "The A-Team" was one of my all-time favorite tv shows; we didn't get the channel it was on, so I'd walk to my brother's trailer - 2 miles away - every Tuesday night so I could watch it - it was fuzzy, but at least he got the channel! :-) I get on Hulu to watch it once in awhile - I'd like to get the DVDs so I had them for whenever I wanted them.And Murdoch always acted like a nutter - that's why I love his character! I still have a thing for Dwight Schultz because of him ... :-)
Oh the topics that get covered when a bunch of creative minds get together... no subject is taboo and the conversation turns into crazy wildfires from the smallest comment sparks.Trash bags, werewolves, walmart and Rocky Horror... you just never know what is coming up next!
Not to mention my favorite ... lesbian dreams. Gotta fit those in ... LOL
Wow, you are right Angela, there is just no telling! You guys crack me up. Don't forget the toilet snakes!

BTW, thanks for the invite to the group, but since I'm not a writer, just an editor, reviewer and general wise ass, I had to decline. Good luck with the group!
Katy, you care clearly a woman of taste. I had endless rows with my younger sister about who was the best between BA and Murdoch. I maintained that clearly Murdoch was the best (in fact it was only by a thin margin as imho BA kicked ass too, but she was so vehement about it that I couldn't resist the argument).Talking of BA, I have to ask - is "nuts" a synonym for testicles in the US or only in the UK?
Phil, that was a very sly Poppins ref and made me laugh out loud. Respect!

and yes, nuts is also a euphemism for testicles here. In Russia, they say "eggs," which amuses me no end ...
heheheh or plums.No I just wondered because of the Snickers advert.
J.A. wrote: "heheheh or plums.No I just wondered because of the Snickers advert."
How about the Almond Joy/Mounds commercials? "Sometimes you feel like a nut ..."
Sadly I haven't had the pleasure of the snickers advert although let's face it, if you call a chocolate bar something that sounds like a number two nicker accident the 'nuts' have got to be double entre-y.Interestingly, actually probably not but I plough on, in the UK eggs are plums, too, but if you talk about 'dog eggs' you mean dog pooh which I find completely, side splittingly funny... because I'm purile... and if you think about the 'stance' for a dog it is like laying an egg...
For what it's worth, my favourite A team member was also Mad Murdoc. I quite liked BA but Murdoc was funny.

@ MTM - I just got to thinking - in the world of ratters - we're a bonky long - we call rat pooh "raisins" - just raisins, or rat raisins. Then again, we call the male rats' testicles "goolies" and I call the cats' "cushions" - but that's just me on the cats ... Anyone else have an amusing euphemism for something?
Does Bollitics count? A bollitician is a s**t stirrer, usually in a place of work but they can be anywhere. The kind of person who initiates storms in teacups. The kind of person who, by their very (can't do) presence, can ruin a good idea before it gets off the ground.Also Pizza Flap, which is that bit of skin just behind your front teeth which you rip of with the rock hard, spiky crust of your first slice of pizza, thereby ruining the experiencing of eating the rest of it.
Oops accidentally deleted a bit.
In Flushed Away; the Aardman/Pixar film about rats 'raisins' are actually mentioned. Phnark...
cheers

Well we do love a good wise ass but I totally understand. Hope your doing well!
Speaking of nuts...As we were driving along the highway this weekend on our way to the football game, we get behind a truck that has a huge advertisement on it's tailgate. Apparently, they have a peanut business (roast them, boil them, etc.)... Their tagline?
"Have you busted a nut today?"
Sadly, no one got a picture. We are in Alabama, though....so no one was surprised! ;-)
I think multicolored trash bags are awesome! Multicolored and scented! What needs more excitement than trash???? Really???
You know, speaking of trashbags --> A-Team --> Murdoch - I've carried around a golf ball for YEARS (whenever I find one I add it to my collection) because of the episode where Murdoch puts a face on a golf ball and talks to it ... and I named a dog I had Billy, too ... alas, unlike Murdoch's invisible dog, MY Billy turned out to be an idiot and he eventually caught the bullet disease because he kept chasing the cows and horses on the ranch, something my family wouldn't put up with.
Speaking of Nutz....these are AWESOME!http://bmorenutz.com
Nope, I have no financial interest in the company...damnit. I just know the owner in that internet way and have won several of his nuts in contests and purchased many, many more.
His name....Dick. No lie.
These things are awesome. Mention Splitter and ask for a discount, all they can say is "no" lol. Really, these are snacks of the gods.
YES! We make fun of the name every chance we get.
Splitter
Wow, Splitter, that sounds TAST-EEE ... can't have peanuts, though ... it could perforate my intestines and KILL me ... Anyway, my grandmother had a friend whose name was Mrs. Dick ... sure wish I knew her husband's name ... wouldn't it be crazy to be Richard Dick or something like that?
OK I can't speak for the peanuts but on the Dick front, there is a vet in Newmarket called Everard Cock (no lie). I thought that was very funny until my friend married a very nice man called Richard Head who happens to be a major in the army. He does actually call himself Dickie rather than Dick but it's still very funny. I bet he can't wait to get promoted. Now THAT'S like calling your son Sue.Cheers

How about towels tied around your neck? Coats buttoned around your neck with the arms flapping free? How about general levitation attempts?
