Fabulous Foodity Friday

[morea]

All you nekkid and loving it, cool hoodie wanting, Om-nom-nified, duck throwing, french speaking, sig designing, bad food memory recounting, upside down gardening, grawlix typing, non-world saving but pondering a career change so you can still wear that cool cape, avocado defending, contemplating the international variations in peanut butter firmness, caveman speaking graphic designers!

Have a great weekend!!! http://koolsplace.com/images/eatdrink042.gif

RGB'd.

Are you planning on creating a T.V. show for designers liked punk'd? Cause that would be all sorts of awesome. You could submit a huge rush job to the printers 10 minutes before before 5:00 and just lace it with RGB images, stray spot colors and corrupt fonts. Hidden cameras tape the prepress guy pulling his hair out and screaming obscenities into your voicemail and the computer screen and then minor celebrity could wander into the room and be all like - YOU JUST GOT RGB'D!!!!

The phrase you're groping for: Show us your naughty bits!

employ the rule: Silence is golden....and duct tape is silver. Then tape her to the back of a door to keep her outta trouble.

Yeah, I was thinking they look like big, hand-drawn, RGB green penii...

A brick throwing naked cat with no eyebrows is quite a sight to behold!

As long as coriander stays away from my beer I'm ok with it. Coriander beer is an abomination. Actually I'd even be fine with coriander beers if they'd print "This beer is a coriander-tainted abomination." across the packaging – thus preventing me from accidentally buying it.

I'm not really a fan of anything that tastes like soap, brings back bad childhood memories :-P.

We were out of coffee this morning so I decided to take a fistful of sharpies and sniff them to get a morning jolt. I accidentally gave myself a sharpie marker Hitler mustache that won't come off. Suggestions?

Oh but of course my dear :) I'll give you a preview from last years tiki party. It was great.

And Virgo...at least I'm wearing SOMETHING. Isn't that enough?

Wow...having your company get you drunk at 3 in the afternoon makes for a VERY long day....The sun is still up and I'm ready to pass out!! Taking the train home was a feat....I had to get off about 4 stops early...I'm sure you all can guess why ;)

There is that old adage, I think it applies here. "Don't look a gift monkey butt in the .... wait that's not it. Nevermind.

Floppy bananas are rubbish.

Call me a liberal but I believe that what happens between a consenting man and his bicycle in the privacy of their room is nobodys business. As long as it's not a kids bike that is.

Nope it's 30,000 dpi, you saw correct. My designs are so high in resolution that they exceed the clarity and crispness of reality.

The best way to hide html code is to take the site offline. That way no one can see it and steal your html. Theft is bad you know. That is what I do with all my sites.

Here's my recommended strategy for designing a signature:

Don't.

Seriously, how about writing something interesting or useful instead. I'd much rather that than wasting bandwidth on yet another pointless picture cropped from Star Trek or whatever.

Or maybe that's just me...

great quotes mo!

[Silence04]

I'm so glad it's friday!!!
hilarious bladez!


Tomorrow i'm going to the Red Bull Flugtag in Tampa!

It's just another excuse to get really drunk in public.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Great Job Mo :D

Happy Friday Everyone!! Have a safe happy weekend xx

[reuber1]

Great quotes. Going to see if I have a chance in hell of catching Batman (probably not, only ONE showing here).

[Sweet Tee]

Happy Friday everyone! I cracked up after read keith1's 30,000 dpi post :p

I'll be going to Baton Rouge tomorrow night to watch my boyfriend's band play a gig. It's gonna be great!

Have a great weekend everyone!

[vtwin_gary]

happy friday everyone.
the QOTW classic from hewligan should be part of the welcome to GDF post that has all the links in it.

[CkretAjint]

Happy Friday everyone!

Does anyone else's Friday feel oddly funky and different?? :(

[Mynock]

It does as I didn't get an ounce of sleep last night. We added a rescue pug to our family last night and I was tossing and turning all night. There is going to be a crash sometime today. Hopefully it does happen when I'm driving. She was sleeping just fine in her crate, but I was like a nervous parent or something. She snores pretty good also. I think she puts me to shame. I'll post some pictures soon.

[reuber1]

Uh oh. I'm officially off the wagon. Just ate another doughnut. :D

[Virgo Nightingale]

A brick throwing naked cat with no eyebrows is quite a sight to behold!
Upon re-reading, I thought it was about a brick throwing a naked cat. I was about to ponder the definition of life in order to wrap my brain around such a feat.

Anyways Happy Friday all! I know my fiancé will be having a happy Friday since it's his bachelor party tonight. That should prove to be an interesting time. :eek:

Other than that, I'm going up to my sister's tomorrow for a party and Sunday we're getting a new couch. Well, it's not new, it's a hand-me-down, but it's new to us.

Great filling in on the quotes mo!! It was quite a funny and interesting week here!!

[MyST]

LMAO!

Great intro and quotes, morea!

Happy friday! Oh... and I'm on vacation for the next to weeks, so WOOT! to me! (does happy dance)

[Ben Kessler]

Have a great weekend, everyone!

[Bladez]

wow....I made 2 quotes this week....huzzah!

Have a great weekend kiddies! Nothing exciting here except for some freelance work I got lined up. Was supposed to go see the Dark Knight, but my buddy forgot to buy tix, and it's sold out across the city for the weekend. Gonna have to kill him.

[Neballer]

wooooooooooooooooooots!

[WannaBrie]

Great quotes, Mo! How did I miss most of those? Happy Friday all!!

[Exodus]

IFPF! Have a great weekend everyone!

Is anyone actually busy? It's been a tumbleweed zone the past two weeks here. That makes from some loooong days.

[Typically]

i've got stuff going on but it's the clam before the storm. i have 474 photos coming to me in the next few weeks that i have to silhouette, and 2 catalogs to design.... i wil be very busy soon :D

[tuliptree]

Happy Friday all! What a crazy week, lots of fun all the way around. Bladez, you'll never shed the coconut bra image in my mind, that is forever how I'll picture you when you post!! LOL!!

What a great intro Morea, and great quotes. Thanks for being the filler inner for us! :) I remember the bicycle thread Kool's quote came from ahahaha!!

Hi Kool if you're reading this!

Tomorrow I'm off to the college I graduated from to meet up with my two roommates from back then for a drink, should be a walk down memory lane!

Have a great weekend everyone!

[Mynock]

i've got stuff going on but it's the clam before the storm. i have 474 photos coming to me in the next few weeks that i have to silhouette, and 2 catalogs to design.... i wil be very busy soon :DInteresting the clam before the storm. . . Never heard that saying before I wonder what it means? Must be a New Jersey thing.

[Typically]

hahaha sorry to many nights spent at the clam hut :D

[Exodus]

Don't get me wrong, I've been kind of enjoying the lull. Working 50 to 60 hours a week for 4 years straight has sucked. The problem is that we are having to lay off people. I had to lay off someone in my department a couple of weeks ago and I don't want to go through that again. I will have to if the lack of work continues...

[Bladez]

Gee, thanks Tulip. So should just save you the trouble and change my avatar to a coconut bra? *LOL*

[The_Black_Knight]

i've got stuff going on but it's the clam before the storm. i have 474 photos coming to me in the next few weeks that i have to silhouette, and 2 catalogs to design.... i wil be very busy soon :DI actually love projects like that. I can just go into a zone for days with something like that, and the time passes really quickly.

[jdjtcagle]

LOL at quotes! woo - I love me some fridays. :)

[vtwin_gary]

Interesting the clam before the storm. . . Never heard that saying before I wonder what it means? Must be a New Jersey thing.

not a jersey thing The calm before the storm isn't a new concept by any means. It was recognized long ago that before a severe storm, the air is still and the birds stop singing and go to shelter. "Calm continueth not long without a storm." This quote from an unknown source was written in 1576.

[Yossarian]

So did the clams come out because all the birds were hiding?

[Callendale]

Mynock- Congrats on the new "baby"! We got a pug 2 yrs. ago from someone who couldn't keep him. OMG can he snore! But don't worry, you get used to after a while.... Not really :p!

[Virgo Nightingale]

Well, we all know about the calm before the storm, it's the clam we were curious about. ;) :p

I'm actually experiencing that myself, at least at work (the storm has already arrived in my personal life, if you know what I mean). I just hope the work 'storm' doesn't happen in the next three weeks since I want everything done and off my plate before I get married.

[Exodus]

Can we hurry up and get this thread past 40 posts? Damn. If I have to scroll past an anemic Bladez and now a voyeuristic pug one more time, I may hurl all over my keyboard.

[Mynock]

Bwah! My wife is used to snoring, but me not so much. I was when I was living at home. I felt like a worried parent or something. What did we get ourselves into? It was weird. Here is Ellie (short for Eleanor Roosevelt).

Such a cute dog! See seems like a sweetie. Congrats!

[Bladez]

Would you like me to post more for you Exodus? Or shall I wait until after the 40 post mark *evil laugh*

[Mynock]

She's a terror. She likes to play the Catch Me If you can game. We're working on that. She's been in the shelter since February, so she has some habits to break, like a free bladder. We're crate training her so that should help.

[The_Black_Knight]

Is that a pug mix? The snout seems a little long for a pug. Cute dog.

[The_Black_Knight]

[Exodus]

I prefer 40. :cool:

[Mynock]

Yeah, she's probably a mix. In my opinion it makes her more cute. I like the longer nose, some pugs just look so googly eyed with the short little snout. She has the pug snore and pug independence though. She's a fire cracker. She's about 1-2 years.

[The_Black_Knight]

Yeah, she's probably a mix. In my opinion it makes her more cute.I agree.

I've always liked the personality of pugs, but I have trouble with the whole bug-eyed look of them.

[Exodus]

Yay!

[Satchel]

Tomorrow i'm going to the Red Bull Flugtag in Tampa!

It's just another excuse to get really drunk in public.

That looks like a good time Silence - I'm jealous! I'm going to hang out with my grandparents tomorrow... that wont be nearly as exciting as your day!!

Happy Friday all... we just got approved to work four 10 hour days, which takes effect next week!!

[Callendale]

Cute pup/g Mynock, and good luck with the training!
OK, back to the weekend... going to a local brewery Saturday to drink beer and partake of their "Mussel Fest".

[tuliptree]

Gee, thanks Tulip.

[Exodus]

Damn you MD. Damn. You.

[MD]

Does anyone else's Friday feel oddly funky and different?? :(

It doesn't feel as Kool as it usually does but Morea or less it still feels very Friday to me.

Happy Friday All!
I can't remember the last time I was a 2x QOTW nominee. Thank you sharpie for killing the correct number of brain cells to make my lunacy shine.

Not a lot going on this weekend - Hopefully I can catch the Dark Knight on Sunday.

[Bladez]

It doesn't feel as Kool as it usually does but Morea or less it still feels very Friday to me.

Brilliant!

[frankster]

Yay Friday! This week has been loony tunes. There was a midweek incident involving five children (not all of them mine), a small yappy type dog (pomerainian I think) and diarrhea (again, not mine). Luckily it was all outdoors, but still.

I feel like I need to do something terribly glamourous this weekend in response to all that.

[MD]

Tulip wanted to see...and besides, I'm just so proud of how pretty I am in those pics.

*Note: I'm not quite THAT skinny, I was sucking in my gut a bit and puffing out my chest to enhance my coconuts* ;)

I've noticed we don't usually have posts from the Friday QOTW nominated for QOTW, but if it's not a rule, just a coincidence, I nominate the above for the next week's QOTW. :D

Happy Friday everyone! I'm hoping this will be a lazy weekend, but we'll see what turns up, I suppose. :)

Mynock, congrats on your new puppy, I agree, the mix makes her even cuter. Good luck with the training, I'm sure she'll do just fine. :)

That way, you don't have to re-view anything that previously disturbed your sensibilities. ;)

[reuber1]

Got Dark Knight tickets! Sweet.

[Satchel]

Morea, you just blew my mind!!! I didn't know you could do that... My whole GDF experience has just been flipped upside down!

[morea]

yay! :D

[Satchel]

Now I can check the long threads again... my mighty mouse scroll ball totally stopped working (what a stupid design), and I'm to lazy to click and drag the scroll bar on the side!

[Virgo Nightingale]

Mo, how is that you posted that at 2:40 today, but the screenshot says the last posts were posted around 6:30pm today? Are you in the future with buda?

[morea]

I can't afford a vacation, so I changed my time zone so that I can pretend that I'm visiting someplace interesting. ;)

[frankster]

You're having a vacation in the middle of the Atlantic?

[Randomhero]

There's no better place.

[tuliptree]

Upon re-reading, I thought it was about a brick throwing a naked cat. I was about to ponder the definition of life in order to wrap my brain around such a feat.

Virgo, I forgot a hyphen, should have said brick-throwing naked cat . . . to think a missing little "-" would cause someone to ponder the definition of life is a beautiful thing! :p

Morea you're brilliant!

Frankster, I am intrigued to know more about your adventures with five kids, a dog and diahreah, but I don't know if I should have such feelings! Maybe it's best if I don't know. :D

Urst, I asked Kool once what happens if a post within a QOTW thread happens to be QOTW material once the QOTW's are already posted. He confirmed that we would all be sucked into a black hole!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhh!!!!

And everyone, I did ask Bladez to show his coconuts, so it's all my fault! *Ducks to avoid flogging* (teasing again, Mr. Bladez. Get crackin'! :) )

Ducks!!

Ducks?

Where are they??

[Bladez]

Ah-ha....see...Thank you for clearing that up Tulip. Now I'm off the hook for it :)

So lets see, you hide my pants, tell me to get crackin, then ask to see my coconuts....you're starting to make me feel all dirty.....in a good way *LOL*

*Ducks*

(what's that sucking sound??)

[tuliptree]

:o


Garricks, unfortunately that is the sound of the black hole starting up. See, we beat the CERN project to it! Yeay!! Wait :eek:

[The_Black_Knight]

I don't normally quote myself, but I have given a little advice about black holes in the past that you might want to consider:
The one thing to remember about black holes: stay away from the event horizon, and everything will be fine. You may be tempted to stand a little ways from it and throw stuff in there, just to watch it get destroyed by intense gravitational tidal forces. You must resist this temptation.

[garricks]

Doug Adams wishes he had written that, TBK! It fits right in with "the fundamental interconnectedness of all things." :)

[The_Black_Knight]

Thanks, Garricks, that makes me feel like quite the hoopy frood. If you didn't already know, I am a huge fan of Douglas Adams. He was definitely a man who knew where his towel was.

Now I need to get back to my flying practice. I've got the "hurling myself at the ground" part down, but it's the "missing the ground" part that I haven't got, yet. I can't seem to get sufficiently distracted to forget to hit the ground. Maybe I just need for someone to yell "Belgium!" as I'm falling.

[morea]

you need to pick yourself up a copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Miss Kittie! It's one of my all-time faves, and well worth the read, imo. :)

[Kool]

Happy Friday everyone. Looks like I missed a lot. :)

Thanks for covering for me Mo, great quotes and intro!

you need to pick yourself up a copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Miss Kittie! It's one of my all-time faves, and well worth the read, imo. :)I'm also a fan of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. It's not as quotable, but still very funny.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Everyone pounce on Kool!!!! :D


Happy Friday Mr. K :p

[morea]

Glad you liked the post, Kool! If you are so inclined, I believe that you can do most of the catching up in the following threads:

[budafist]

Happy Friday guys!

Got heaps done today, so hopefully moving day tomorrow shall be smooth sailing. I've employed much more help that our last move. I'll be paying my helpers with a big breakfast and later pizza and beer! Should be a good day.

Other than that, I'm going up to my sister's tomorrow for a party and Sunday we're getting a new couch. Well, it's not new, it's a hand-me-down, but it's new to us.

We're picking up a new but second hand couch on Sunday too. What a great coincidence.

Cute pup/g Mynock, and good luck with the training!
OK, back to the weekend... going to a local brewery Saturday to drink beer and partake of their "Mussel Fest".

Beer and Mussels Saturday sounds like my idea of heaven.

[Kool]

I was wondering what the fangs were all about. The conference was great. San Jose is a really great little city, I could live there.

[morea]

I preferred the fangs to the thought of having something pierced. ;)

Glad you had a nice time! And welcome back!

[urstwile]

Welcome back Kool! :)

[budafist]

Glad to here the conference went well for you Kool.

[Red Kittie Kat]

for a minute I thought buda stole my bone


:D

[tuliptree]

Hi Kool, welcome back!

TBK the title of the Detective book sounds intriguing! I am in need of a book to make me laugh. I read Hitchhiker's Guide many years ago, I loved it but it's been long enough I could use a refresher! Maybe I'll read that, and then the other. Yeay, book problem solved! (I'm reading a few good books right now, but none are comedies. I'm reading Bill Bryson's "Mother Tongue", a book about the Anasazi called "The House of Rain" and "Thinking with Type").

Wait, did somebody ask me a question? :p

I need a new second hand couch badly. We have a futon that sinks down and falls off the couch when Guinness jumps on it, and that now has a tuna fish oil stain on it because Guinness raided our cupboards and chewed open a can of tuna while sitting on it. And he had not a scratch on his mouth! And he smashed it into a pancake!

Did someone ask me something again?

Good luck with the move, buda!

[Bladez]

Welcome back Kool. Glad ya' had a good time.

Buda....love the avatar. So freakin' cute!!

And as for you my lovely tulip.....did you say Guinness?!?! :) don't mind if I do. I've had 4 already. What's one more :D

[Kristine65]

Cool cwotes again, mor. Happy Friday & have a great weekend folks!

[garricks]

TBK, I kinda figured you would be, the way that sentence read.

I also loved The Long, Dark Tea Time of the Soul.

I think I'll have lunch at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. ;)

Don't Panic! Kittie. Just pick up a nice bath towel along with a copy of Hitchhiker's.

[Red Kittie Kat]

hehe I might just do that :D
