Happy Hump Day!

[morea]

It's Wednesday and it's beautiful! I love September. Here the leaves are just starting to change, and in a few weeks we'll have lots of raking to do... but somehow it's enjoyable. :D Actually, I wish autumn lasted longer around here.

This time of year always makes me think of the song "The Best of Times is Now" by Perry Como. It's a happy, melancholy kind of song. I remember hearing it on the radio when I was 4 years old, and somehow it has stuck with me since then!

Neuro and I are going to drive over to Vermont this weekend to visit the little shops there and take some photos. The last weekend of the month will bring the Adirondack Hot Air Balloon Festival, which we go to every year. We also want to go apple picking when the trees are ready, and will have to make some mulled cider and get some cider donuts.

Does anybody else have any fall traditions?

[Tyger]

you guys seem to do some fun stuff, have fun and i'm sure you'll be sharing tons of pics:)

yeah i can use a humpin' right about now!

[morea]

Lol!

[G-Man79]

Camping in the fall is a must for my friends and I. A trip out to Indian Ladders is annual tradition as well. Great apple cider and cinnamon donuts. Yum!

[morea]

I would love to go camping this fall... I just haven't decided where. There are lots of places in the area, but Neuro and I decided to get the mountain bikes this year (and we have had a lot of use out of them) and hopefully pick up some kayaks in the next couple of years.

I haven't been camping this year, and I can't let a whole season go by without at least a quick trip. We're going to have to get that set up pretty soon!

[greyghost]

I love fall - though this will be my second REAL fall with leaves and cooling weather and everything! (Florida doesn't have a Fall until January, and spring hits in late February) DH and I are amazed at how many trees are starting to turn colors already - I'm taking cuttings and pressing the entire stems with leaves to use in October and November table arrangements.

I'm one of those people that loves changing the house with the seasons - different pillows or warm snug throws in the fall and winter, different tablecloths and even different dishes. I have an amber post-depression era set of glass plates and mugs for the fall, and around the holidays I have a dark green set of Sandwich glass.

I love getting my sweaters out and I love wearing jeans and boots and long pants and jackets.

I've been looking forward to this fall for months. It will be my husband's first Fall ever, so we want to enjoy it. Our 5-year anniversary is coming up in early October, and he has a whole week off then, I plan on driving around these little mountains and taking lots of photos!

[morea]

Happy early anniversary, greyghost. :D

Definnitely post some of those photos! Fall is beautiful!

[morea]

nothing says fall like mulled cider.

Mulled Cider Recipe

2 qts. apple cider
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
1 orange (unpeeled)
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp. whole cloves
brandy

Combine cider, sugar, ginger and orange in slow cooker. Tie cinnamon and cloves in a small cheesecloth bag; add to crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW 2 to 4 hours. The entire house will smell great! Remove the bag of spices. In a mug put a shot of brandy, then fill with hot mix from cooker.
Makes 10 to 12 servings

[Only Seen Here]

That's weird. I always slice the orange when I make cider. I wonder what the difference is.

Oh, and when I read the title of this thread I was sure you were coming on to me.

[morea]

lol! Ssh! Don't tell everybody! :p

Actually, I slice the orange when I make cider, too.

[greyghost]

Happy early anniversary, greyghost. :D

Definnitely post some of those photos! Fall is beautiful!


Thanks! I will. Have to get my camera back from my folks this weekend.

[Mynock]

[greyghost]

Let's do the humpty-hump!

[Mynock]

The humpty dance is a dance, so do the hump! So do the hump!

[greyghost]

but not on a wall...
Ever wonder why that egg was called humpty-dumpty?

[morea]

lol!

Every time I hear the word "hump" I think of the line in The Unicorn song (http://www.thebards.net/music/lyrics/The_Unicorn_Song.shtml) about humpty backed camels and chimpanzees.

And it has been a LOT of years since I heard that song!

[MD]

Ever wonder why that egg was called humpty-dumpty?
Because Giant Clumsy Egg Like Man did not fit into the rhyming scheme.

Don't even think it's gonna be that easy. If someone offers one, I'll scrap for it.

:mean growly face:

Gotta work on your speed Morea.

[morea]

doh!

[Mynock]

I might even offer some pocket lint for a good nap, depending of course on how big it is or how deep.

[morea]

I can usually count on Benadryl to get me a good nap... on the other hand, some nice hard physical exertion like a job or a bike ride can work well, too.

[MD]

Yesterday I posted excuses if you get caught taking a nap at your desk. (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=156849&postcount=21)

I love sleep, If I could I would dedicate 10 hours a day to sleeping (8 at night and two 1hr naps through out the day), 4hrs to work (with a full days pay of course), and the other 10 to life. who's with me?

[morea]

I'll buy that!

[MD]

So this guy wants to go into a nightclub, but the bouncer says -
"Sorry, bud, you need a tie for this place."

Our Hero goes back to his car and rummages around, but there's no necktie to be found.

Finally, in desperation, he takes his jumper cables, wraps them around his neck, ties a nice knot, and lets the ends dangle free.

He goes back to the nightclub, where the bouncer says...
"Well, OK, I guess you can come in. But don't start anything!"

[morea]

These two strings walk upto a bar... The first string walks in and orders and the bartender throws him out and yells "I don't serve strings in this bar... The other string ruffs himself up on the street and curls up and orders... The bartender shouts, Hey, didn't you hear what I told your buddy?" String says "Yeah." Bartender says, "aren't you a string?" ... String says, "No, I'm a frayed knot..."

[morea]

Two cartons of yogurt walk into a bar. The bartender, a tub of cottage chesse, says to them, "We don't serve your kind in here." One of the yogurt cartons says back to him, "Why not? We're cultured individuals."

This grasshopper walks into a bar, and the bartender says "Hey! We have a drink named after you!" The grasshopper replies "Really? You have a drink named Steve?!"

[EC]

What did one polar bear say to the other polar bear?

"Where'd you get the coat, it looks just like mine."

Sadly, that's the only joke I know.

[morea]

That's cute, EC...

I like this one too:

A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm.
"A beer please" he says, "and one for the road."

[greyghost]

Two men walk into a bar.
The third man ducks.


Sorry, all I have...

[morea]

[greyghost]

No, really, that's the only joke I know.

[morea]

"ha" because the first two of 'em walked right into the bar. :D

[JB]

a peice of string walks into a bar and the bar tender tells him, "Hey! We don't serve string in here!" So the string walks out the door, gets himself all tangled up and rubs himself all over the door jam...he struts back into the bar and again he bartender tells him, "I told you, we don't serve peices of string in here!" And the string says, "Hey! I'm a frayed knot!"

(afraid not...heh...and that's all I'VE got...)

Why is Wednesday called "hump" day when most people get laid on the weekends?

A rabbi, a priest, and a bishop walk into a bar.
The bartender says, "What is this, some kind of joke?"

[morea]

One night a burglar is trying to break into a house. He's sneaking across the lawn when he hears a voice - "Jesus is watching you!"

He jumps, turns around, but he doesn't see anything. So he starts creeping across the lawn again. "Jesus is watching you!" He hears it again.

So now the burglar is really looking around, and he sees a parrot in a cage by the side of the house. He says to the parrot, "Did you say that?"

The parrot answers "Yes I did."

So the burglar asks, "What's your name?"

The parrot says "Clarence."

The burglar says "What kind of stupid idiot would name his parrot Clarence?"

The parrot laughs and says, "The same stupid idiot that named his Rottweiler 'Jesus' "

[Mynock]

I don't have a joke, but I do have the punchline.

Rectum? Damn near killed 'em!

[morea]

A rabbi, a priest and a pastor were all in a boat together fishing. The pastor said to the others, "I think I am going to go over to that shore and sit down." So, he gets out of the boat, walks across the water and sits down on the shore.

Then, the priest says to the rabbi, "I think I going to go over there to join him." So, he does the same as the pastor and sits next to him on the shore.

The rabbi thinks to himself, "Well, if they can do it, so can I!" So, he climbs out of the boat, but he falls in the water.

The pastor says to the priest, "Do you think we should of told him where the rocks were?"

It had been raining for days and days, and a terrible flood had come over the land. The waters rose so high that one man was forced to climb onto the roof of his house.

As the waters rose higher and higher, a man in a rowboat appeared, and told him to get in. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the man in the rowboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.

The waters rose higher and higher, and suddenly a speedboat appeared. "Climb in!" shouted a man in the boat. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the man in the speedboat went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.

The waters continued to rise. A helicopter appeared and over the loudspeaker, the pilot announced he would lower a rope to the man on the roof. "No," replied the man on the roof. "I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me." So the helicopter went away. The man on the roof prayed for God to save him.

The waters rose higher and higher, and eventually they rose so high that the man on the roof was washed away, and alas, the poor man drowned.

Upon arriving in heaven, the man marched straight over to God. "Heavenly Father," he said, "I had faith in you, I prayed to you to save me, and yet you did nothing. Why?" God gave him a puzzled look, and replied "I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"

MD, that excuses for taking a nap post is brilliant. I actually did get causght, the other day, by my boss. Not just my boss, but my boss, and a client, who was hoping to meet who he heard was "the hardest working artist in the building."

D'oh!

Has anyone else been caught sleeping on the job?

[morea]

not on the job, but back in college I fell asleep in my accounting class.

It was right after lunch, in a warm, dark room, while the professor read us accounting statistics and other equally exciting information off an overhead projector in a complete monotone.

I feel sleepy just thinking about that class!

I have been pretty droopy from time to time but never caught like that. Did you get in trouble or just have to endure endless taunting?

[Neballer]

miraculously I've never been caught. At least that I know of. Last winter I was really sick and came in anyway (read: don't have sick days). Shut my door, turned off my lights, turned on my photo lights (for heat, and an excuse if I were to get caught), put my head on my desk and fell asleep for 3+ hours.

When I came to, everything was in it's right place and it was time for lunch. I'd imagine that if someone would have caught me they would have woken me up.

[MD]

Super Sweet Neballer. A three hour nap on the clock and when you wake up it's lunch times.......does life get any better than that?

[Neballer]

not by much. :D
