Avocado Friday!!

[Kool]

All you, Monday hating, Knowing someone with that hideous tattoo, Maybe having to wear a tie, Petulant noobs, Simpsonized, Learning Chinese, Avocado loving, Maybe having mono, Speaking in gibberish, Getting your graphics from Jesus, Uber mad, Graphic designers!!!

Have a great weekend!!! http://home.comcast.net/~rnick9/eatdrink042.gif

My day is probably better than Satchel's, while not as good as Danger's, and I'm probably a little more tired than Satchel and not as tired as Logo, which means that I probably have about a 30% case of "the Mondays." Or maybe it's a first degree case of the Mondays. Or a 3.0 on the mondaygraph. Or something.

Of course, one of the things that sucks more than coming in to work on a Monday is being unemployed on any day, so I don't think I'll complain too much.


Socially skilled people tend to have a good grasp of social protocol. A protocol is a shared convention for communication. Protocols allow two people (or groups) from different backgrounds who may have very little in common to know how to speak with one another without anyone getting offended. For example, socially skilled people understand what other people are expecting to hear when greeted or approached, or how they expect to be thanked when they have given a gift. Because they understand what to do, they are able to produce desired responses that those people want and expect.

All your base are belong to us!

Make your time...

hahahha

Now give me the map

Throw the avocados to me! I'm open I'm open!!

Would'nt want to get brushed back from a hundred mile an hour avocado, that thing could crack your skull open.

Nothin' like being drunk and falling into a vat of garlicky buttery mashed potatoes. I can do without the salt, but it's okay this time. It'll make me thirstier so I'll have another margarita, get drunker, dance on the table again, and fall into another vat of mashed potatoes. It's a not-so-vicious cycle.

You love me?? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v54/RedKittieKat/smilies/thud.gif

I love the taste of licky sticky stamps and envelopes! Yummy!

Ow, I cut my tongue!

maybe they were looking to hire a lolcat.

i could eat a plate of fried chicken skin..... for breakfast

i was thinking of feeding chickens coffee beans so i can have caffinated eggs in the morning.

Max is still working out some travel kinks and has been "busy" the last week...in between naps and meals. That leaves about 2 hours a day for the important stuff...playing with the ghosts and his toilet paper tube and bottle cap from the water bottle!
Life's a real challenge when you're a cat!

I once heard Stefan Sagmeister say that if the job involves lightbulbs, he'll do something like try to represent what a peach might think of a lightbulb. That's a good strategy, I think.


There's only one course of action for you: Tear the sleeves off your shirt, tie a necktie around your head, and declare yourself Office Rambo.
Then start throwing stuff.

haha, great quotes!

Happy Friday!! School shopping for the kids this weekend! Yay! Second weekend in a row to not have a gig. I could use the rest!

[SpugNothuson]

Have a great weekend everyone. See you all on Monday.

[Drorain]

happy weekend all...this week is my 'poor' weekend cause we aren't paid till next week.

Have a happy Friday everyone! May your avocados be soft and sweet.

happy weekend all...this week is my 'poor' weekend cause we aren't paid till next week.

*puts out tin cup and starts playing guitar*

Ya'll gonna tip me to stop playing right, cause this is my first timeHere's a tip: get a job that pays once a week instead of every other week!

Okay, I'm just kidding, put the guitar down...

[The_Black_Knight]

Oh yes, and I am very glad it's Friday. The wife and I are going for another ultrasound today, and hopefully we'll find out if we're having a boy or a girl. I'll be happy with either one, but it's kind of a pain not being able to say "he" or "she" when talking about the baby, instead of saying "it" or "the baby." I suppose that's just a failing of the English language.

Thanks for the quotes, Kool! I'm kind of glad I missed the one about chicken skin for breakfast the first time around, though. I probably could have done without it this time...

[cornfed]

That's exciting Black Knight! Let us know what ya'll are having!!

[The_Black_Knight]

That's exciting Black Knight! Let us know what ya'll are having!!Nah. I was just gonna keep it to myself. ;)

[Typically]

awesome as usual kool! haha whats wrong with a plate full of chicken skins black knight? it's great for those hungover days.... i just never know what to do with the 30 chickens after i skin them =]

[tuliptree]

Happy Friday everyone! Watch out for the flying avacados (but if you see em grab em, and we'll have another guac party!!)

Yeay Black Knight! You can just tell everyone it is a Baby_Black_Knight until you know, right? :) Congrats to you and your wife!!

[Satchel]

Friday again... this week actually sailed by for me, I love weeks like that!!

I didn't get quoted, but I got mentioned in one, that's just as good!! :)

[Jackimalyn]

How did I miss the all your base thread? Last week my neerdy friends and I were bar hopping and we walked past a car fulla guys with popped collars and their bass thumping really loud. My friend shouted out to them "ALL YOUR BASE [bass].... SOUNDS LIKE CRAP!!!" we all laughed pretty hard. The guys in the car looked at us like we were morons though. Guess the jokes on them.

[Exodus]

wOOt! Happy Friday, everybody. I loved the classic by vtwin_gary. :)

[Neballer]

It's Friday!
Going to the Cabin!

Well It was a great week, I averaged about three wins of Solitaire a day. I really cannot wait till I actually have work... i cannot believe I just said that.

Hope you all enjoyed the week and let's do it again next week.

[Mynock]

The in-laws are on their way right now and will be spending the weekend with us.

[icekitty37]

Yay Friday! hold the avacados please

[Mynock]

Yay Friday! hold the avacados pleaseI think it should be spelled avocadoes?

[Mynock]

sounds like a fun filled weekend hehe =]Tell me about it. It will pretty fun. Alot of pressure though. We have to make the father in-law like enough that he might make the trip again. It's like a 8 hour drive, and we didn't think they would ever come down and visit us.

[WannaBrie]

Yay! its friday! Happy friday everyone! I'll take any avacadoes that noone else wants!

[icekitty37]

Meh, I wouldn't know, I try to avoid them!

[Virgo Nightingale]

Would you like some avocado salad, WannaBrie?

[MD]

Happy Friday Folks!

My sister is getting married this weekend ... and my god do i look pimp in this tux - Of course to look this pimp I had to shell out $160. On the plus side I am getting a engraved flask filled with petrón ... They probably should hold off on giving that gift to me until after the ceremony :D

[cornfed]

Theres nothing like standing in a wedding ceremony after you've had one too many. What an awful feeling. I've been a bridesmaid way more than I ever would have wanted and have done this every time except my sisters wedding. It sucked. Being a bridesmaid is bad enough. Being a drunk bridesmaid is horrible.

[LeftBrain Artist]

Ho ho ho! Merry Friday boys and girls.

So which thread started this unnatural fixation with avocados?

[Two-Toe Tom]

i believe it was this one:

[MD]

Moderation cornfed - Moderation.

I will probably stay pretty sober for the simple fact that I don't want to break the seal before the ceremony.

Uh ... Excuse me father ... Can you put this thing on hold for a few seconds, I really have to drain the lizard. Maybe you could do some crowd work - people love that. Be back in a sec.

I don't think that would go over too well.

[frankster]

I've never been a bridesmaid :( I've been a bride once though:) I wasn't drunk though because I was pregnant!:eek:

[cornfed]

There is no such thing as moderation for me MD! After one drink, I'm drunk. Two drinks and I'm sloshed. Two and a half and I'm hugging the toilet!! I have an extremely low tolerance for alcohol! It's so low that I've really stopped drinking all together. It's not worth it cause I always end up really, really drunk.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Have an Avocadolicious Weekend Everyone!!! :D

Have a great time.....

... at the wedding MD... take pics of that Pimped out tux :D

... with the inlaws Mynock

... finding out the gender of the baby BK!!


Thanks for the Quotes Kool ... and including me this week Woot! :D

I would like to add my contribution to quote of the week, I think it got by alot of people. Taken from Wiener's Viral Marketing Campaign thread....

I took part in some viral marketing once, then my doctor prescribed me a cream and im all better now.

And on that note, have a good weekend everyone!!

Thats rough - For some reason I pictured you and the rest of the bridesmaids throwing a Mardi Gras type of party the night before and having a few morning drinks as a hangover cure all :p

[tuliptree]

Did someone say Patrón???

Quick, get the lime! Get the salt! Get the avacados! Get the...pretzel! Get the hot tub, I think we have another party startin!! :p

That's a pretty nice present, MD. Have fun.

My daughter turns 7 tomorrow, and as a surprise my sister and her kids are coming in for the party (she will be very excited, she has no clue!)

That would be all my friends who have a high tolerance! Unfortunately, I usually get to be the designated driver!! But thats ok, at least it facilitates everyone else getting to party!!

[carter the artist]

oh wow... How my friday turned out.

I got my check today and a talk about how I need to find a new job. It's nothing about me, it's the fact that he cannot keep a full time designer on the payroll anymore. So, we have enough jobs to last about two weeks and then I need to find new income, even though I'll be doing occasional freelance for him...

I'm a bit in Panic Mode!

[CkretAjint]

Daymn Carter, that really blows!!!

[cornfed]

eww. Sorry Carter. That sucks. Won't do you any good to panic, though. Look into unemployment benefits. It would suck to have to do that, but the reality is that its there for these types of situations. Hopefully you'll find something before it comes to that. But you should get the ball rolling on it just in case, that way you'll have everything in place should you have trouble finding something else.

[Kool]

Wow, that sucks Carter :(

[Red Kittie Kat]

(((Carter))) :(

Really sorry to hear that Carter. :(

[Mynock]

You sure know how to ruin a Friday Carter. I kid. Good skill man.

[carter the artist]

Thanks guys. I know this is a good thing, and truthfully I planned on looking soon, but I was hoping to wait till say september and also not feel it as a necessary thing to find a new job. It's better when you don't feel you have to take the first thing that comes your way.

Truthfully, this is a step in the right direction (Hopefully.)

I am panic only so far as to help motivate me to Really look now.

Thanks for everyone's support, enjoy your weekend, I'm leaving early. :)

[CkretAjint]

I'm leaving early. :)


Aren't you afraid they will fire you? ;)


Have a great one! (c:

[D-Frag]

that sucks carter, sorry to hear that. hey if you can't find work in cali (which im sure you can, craigslist last week had 15+ job listings in one day) there is always lots of work out here in AZ, we have had a consistent market for a couple years now.

[Two-Toe Tom]

sorry to hear that carter, hope you find a new position soon!

[Virgo Nightingale]

(((Carter)))

Crappy situation for sure, but I'm sure something better is around the corner! :)

[budafist]

Have a good weekend guys!

Don't buy the bags of discount avocados - they will all be brown and disgusting inside. Life is too short to be mad about bad avocados so just buy the normal priced ones you miserly bastard!

I learned the hard way. Several times I have bought the discount bags or boxes of avocados thinking that I'd hit a jackpot when in reality, I'd just thrown a my money in the bin.

[CamarotaDesign]

Is it too late to wish you all a happy Friday? Hope you guys are having a great time, I'm just sippin some wine, eatin a little cheese. enjoying life without the 9-5 work schedule surrounded by morons.


Carter, sorry to hear that dude, good luck, I'm sure things will work out, just keep the positive vibes flowin'....and of course the wine.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Never too late Cam ;)

Hello there :D

[The_Black_Knight]

Baby follow-up:

At the ultrasound yesterday, they measured all sorts of things (large bone lengths, size of chest/abdomen, size of head, etc. Apparently, everything is just fine. If the baby being active is any indication of health, then this is the healthiest baby alive (the ultrasound tech had trouble getting some measurements because he just wouldn't sit still!).

Oh, and notice that I said "he" in that last sentence. The tech told us that it is very obvious that we are having a boy!

[cornfed]

Aw! Congratulations!! My son was cutting flips in there, too! A wonderful sign of health and mischief!!!

[Red Kittie Kat]

congratulations BK!!!!

having a nephew soon for me will be a new experience .. have 4 nieces .. so now I need to start thinking about tonka trucks and tool belts :D

[Two-Toe Tom]

congrats bk! do you have a name yet?

[urstwile]

Awesome news, BK, congratulations! :)

[CamarotaDesign]

Congrats BK!

[tuliptree]

whoo hoo BK! Congrats!

[The_Black_Knight]

Thanks, everyone!

congrats bk! do you have a name yet?My wife has always liked the name Max, and I thought it would be neat to name the baby Maxfield (as in Maxfield Parrish, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxfield_Parrish) the artist). For the middle name we're kicking around the name Robert (after my grandfather who passed away last year). This is all subject to change at any time, however, and may change several times by the time he is born.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Max is a great name :D

[frankster]

My wife has always liked the name Max.

yay! you are having a girl with a winky! Awesome! If you do call him Max then you can refer to the labour and delivery as "Max Payne" for all eternity (If you're a computer game geek). :D Stand by for the dancing belly if he's a lively one! Towards the end of both my pregnancies both babies would breakdance of an evening and it looked like I had an epileptic tummy! When Ffi was born we have video footage of her barely an hour old having her first bath in the hospital and the nurse is cursing because Ffi is kicking so hard that she's breaking the plastic bath! My husband realised at that point why I had been so uncomfortable!

[cornfed]

When I was pregnant with Sadie she would kick my guitar every time I played! It was like a little built in rhythm section!

[Virgo Nightingale]

Congrats, BK!! Sounds like you've got yourself a soccer player already! :D

[Samakimoto Graphics]

Nice quotes!

Happy belated Friday!

It's avocado season here, and even the tomato woman I buy tomatoes from has more avocados at her stall than tomatoes this month.

I buy mine sub-ripe, wrap them in newspaper and place them in a dar place mmmmmmmm yum. Interestingly, there's more than one variety of avos...nearly 500!!!

[Virgo Nightingale]

I went to a family get-together this Saturday. Guess what my sister served and I ate nearly all of. GUACAMOLE.

[Two-Toe Tom]

you should've taken a picture with your mouth full of guacamole, that would've made quite the entry in the photo project :D

[Typically]

sounds good to me. i get off work at 5 home by 5:45 so lets say a 7:30 guacamole party! bring some coronas and lets chow down!. you guys can take some veggies from the garden home with you too i have way to much going on in there now!

You should change your last name to Powers, so that way his name will be Max Powers!!

[Virgo Nightingale]

I don't share guacamole very well... but I suppose I could learn. :p

All this talk of guacamole is really making me want to make some for myself. My bf doesn't like guac (:eek:) so I could have it all to myself. I think I know what I'm having for dinner. :D

[The_Black_Knight]

You should change your last name to Powers, so that way his name will be Max Powers!!Or maybe his middle name will be "Volume."

Or "Capacity."

Or "Headroom."

Hmmm. I think that last one has been done...

[tuliptree]

LOL Virgo (about eating all the guac)

I committed THE worst guacamole sin this weekend.....I brought some to a bday party this weekend and....and....I can barely say this....I brought storebought. And not just store bought, but BAD store bought. I have never done that before. It was so bad. I wouldn't even call it guacamole, it was more like I brought green inedible mush. It was so depressing too, to look at a bowl full of guacamole that no one could stomach eating. Sigh....

BK, the name Max Volume Knight is such a great name. You last name is Knight, right?

[carter the artist]

if you're last name is Knight why not name him Day Versus Knight?

[Virgo Nightingale]

The guac my sister had was store bought, but she only gets this specific brand that's not available in the regular grocery store, she has to make a special trip to this particular market. It comes in a mylar-type pouch instead of a jar. I don't know the brand name, and I forgot the name of the store. I think it starts with an 'H'. She says she only buys this brand because it's the only one that actually tastes like the guacamole she does make from scratch on occasion.

PS: I probably still would have gladly taken care of that bowl of pseudo-guac you brought to the birthday party.

I can send it to you!! :) LOL But really, it was so bad I wouldn't inflict it on you virgo, I'll run out and get you some fresh and send it via the interwaves.
I don't have anything against storebought, except I can't find a brand I like. I have seen the one brand Garden Fresh where its in mylar, and their salsas are pretty yummy, and i almost got that instead.

[Virgo Nightingale]

Mmmmm... interwaved guacamole.... thanks!

[The_Black_Knight]

BK, the name Max Volume Knight is such a great name. You last name is Knight, right?Nope, the last name isn't Knight, I'm afraid. That would be a cool last name to have, though.

[tuliptree]

But but, your name is The Black Knight. I always thought The was your first name.

We can develop our own special guacamole brand name.
