It's the tyranny of the urgent.

Listen guys, I have a project due at 3:00 today. If you guys would quit screwing around and get it finished, that'd be super. kthxbye.

If a UFO does appear on 10/14, it better not be anticlimactic. At this point, First Contact has to be at least as awesome as Close Encounters and 2001 combined. I want a light show, missing children returning home, fetuses in the sky, and an awesome soundtrack. Might I suggest the new Jay-Z/T.I. track "Swagga Like Us (http://www.zshare.net/audio/17485064653c6fd4/)"?

Oh ho ho, thaaaat! Well, if it means anything, I clean the windows when I'm done licking them.

I bet rick rolling is no laughing matter to a cyborg. I mean there you are, a cyborg going about your everyday cyborg business and you go to get a bit of information and pretty soon you've got Rick rolling all over your circuitry. And God forbid it gets written into your firmware or BIOS or something. I don't think I'm ready to be a cyborg.

I wish I could help you but you lost me at Level 2.

Well I ended up eating my suspicious lunch at around 11am It's now almost 2pm and no slippery pants yet.

If I ever meet a girl named Esmerelda I'm totally gonna kidnap her and take her to my bell tower now!

You mention the cats ... My Ivory will break her neck to race in here and jump up on my lap and meow with me if she hears me start singing.

It's hysterical to watch her. She gets right in my face and meows with me. Sometimes she just purrs and drools on me if she doesn't feel like meowing

I now refuse to work on something until I have body copy. I mean, what is the point?

If I start on it now, it might take me 3 hours. Then when I get the copy it might take me another hour to get it to fit.

If I work on the design with supplied copy, then it should be just 3 hours total.

I'm too busy to work on "what ifs".

WW, you better get that black turtleneck on before he gets there... maybe you can scare him off with the hugeness of your boobies in a black turtleneck.

Scoot... hurry up, he's almost there.

Since when would the hugeness of boobies scare a guy off?

have you seen the duck thread?

geezaloo.

those things have got their own heartbeats. and opinions. hell, they'd probably nag you, too.

*shudder*

Not if they were in a black turtleneck.

then they'd be HUGE. probably take over the world, or something.

Ryan's what, 17?

Boobies ARE his world.

but THESE ones would have dastardly plans of global domination, black turltle necks, monacles, bionic fingers and those horrible white cats. they'd also laugh like this:

mm. mmm-mmm. mmhmmm. mwaha. mwaHaHA. MWAAHHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Drorain]

Lol, remembering the conversation that spawned the classics makes them hilarious!

Have a great weekend all, its a washout here in new england until sunday, 3-6 inches of rain, joy!

[Ben Kessler]

Happy Friday, everyone!

[morea]

lol, Kool!

Happy Friday everybody! Hopefully all the stuff on my plate will be finished up in the next day or two, leaving me a little bit of weekend left for some R&R.

Have a good one, peoples.

[Bladez]

Bahahaha! Fantastic quotes this week! Especially Budas slippery pants one....

Happy Friday Kidlettes!

Another quite one on this end of things. Nothing tonight, spending the day with the g/f tomorrow and hopefully getting more pix of the city and maybe mountains and a friends birthday dinner that night. Sunday is dinner at the g/f's parents place. I like low key weekends :)

Hope you all have a great weekend lined up!

[Red Kittie Kat]

Happy Friday Gang!! :D


Great Quotes Kool ... love those classics :p


Have a great weekend everyone! Get out and do something fun :)

[MikeHun]

Happy TGIF !!!

[Kool]

Thanks again to all who sent me quotes, please keep it up. I wouldn't have ever seen the slippery pants quote myself. :D

[Beans]

The slippery pants quote is hilarious!

Happy Friday kids! Starting tomorrow I enter a phase of every weekend booked with something.

Tonight I'm starting to cook for tomorrow's dinner party, I'm making enchiladas and the sauce and salsa will be made from the peppers, tomatoes and cilantro from my garden! Sunday I'm off to a baby shower for my sister in law (I got their baby an AC/DC onesie and an AC/DC lullaby cd! My brother in law will be thrilled), then after the shower I run back home in time to go see Jim Bianco again! Our group of people that met up in WV will be there for a one month reunion lol! I don't suspect there will be any boobs on windows this time around though.

Have fun everyone! Thanks for the Friday Post and quotes as always Kool!

[CkretAjint]

Happy happy friday everyone! :D

[Pointyhat]

LMAO the slippery pants one made me laugh out loud. I believe I actually guffawed. Yup Drorain, the rain's already started. Crap. Stay dry!

[Neballer]

woootsbooots Friday!

[Sneaky Muffin]

Happy Friday GDF! So, so glad its Friday, it's been another week of 'hilarious' clients changing things 'for the better'.... sigh

[Typically]

hahaha those classics are great!

have a great weekend everyone! lots of rain the next few days here so it'll be a movie marathon weekend =]

[Virgo Nightingale]

Happy Friday you geeks!! :p

[reuber1]

Happy friday people! Will find out if I'm part of the limited player tryouts on the 7th of November...after pre-registering, it sounded good, just waiting for the confirmation e-mail.

[Danger_Mouse]

BAHAHAHA...SLIPPERY PANTS.

Have a great weekend everyone!

cheers

[Brie]

HaPPY Friday all! Great quotes, Kool! Good Luck Ruebs! oh and no rain here...but the weather is nice and cool!

[garricks]

Yay for Kool and the quotes!

It's gonna be partly cloudy and around 80 all weekend, so I'm thinking a yard nap will be in order. NO, Bladez, it is NOT the same thing as a dirt nap. 'k? :p

[Rizz]

Friday means so much more now that I've work! Wooo!

Have a great weekend everyone!

[Two-Toe Tom]

happy fridya everyone! :D

HAPPY FRIDAY ALL! Got this email this morning - thought it was insightful. Enjoy :D



The FAIR Economic Recovery Plan


I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.


Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in
a 'We Deserve It' Dividend.


To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000
bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.


Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman
and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..


So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.


My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a
We Deserve It Dividend.


Of course, it would NOT be tax free.
So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.


Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.
That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.


But it means that every adult 18 + has $297,500.00 in their pocket.
A husband and wife has $595,000.00.


What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college – it’ll be there
Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car – create jobs
Invest in the market – capital drives growth
Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else


Remember, this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks
who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company
that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.


If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it...instead of
trickling out
a puny $1000.00 ( “vote buy” ) economic incentive that is being proposed by< /SPAN>
one of our candidates for President.


If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U S
Citizen 18+!


As for AIG – liquidate it.
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.


Here’s my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn’t.


Sure it’s a crazy idea that can “never work.”


But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party?!?!


How do you spell Economic Boom???


I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion
We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the genius es at AIG or in Washington DC.


And remember, The FAIR plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5
Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

[reuber1]

Very insightful MD. I could use that kind of money, but I'm sure Mr. Paulsen needs it more. :rolleyes:

[Red Kittie Kat]

I like how that sounds MD :D

[Typically]

sound like a plan MD!

[CkretAjint]

Count me in...

[Kool]

Heh heh, only one problem. The person who dreamed up this plan is really crappy at math. 85 billion divided by 200 million is $425 dollars, not 425 thousand dollars. LOL

Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college – it’ll be there
Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car – create jobs
Invest in the market – capital drives growth
Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else

I'm not sure the actual 297 bucks would pay off any of those things LOL.

[MD]

lol - nice catch :D

[morea]

d'oh... teh maths strikes again!

[Beans]

Let's vote on it!

All in favor of MD's math, say Aye (those not in favour say arrrrr!)

[Virgo Nightingale]

I hate teh maths! :(

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmao Good Katch Kool :D

[Kool]

I was playing around with the 700 billion number last night so i made a little spreadsheet to play around with that inconceivable number. 700 billion dollars would...

Be enough to give this guys theoretical 200 million people $3500 each
Be enough to give every person on earth approx a hundred bucks
Be enough to give 7 million small business's 100,000 dollars to start up
Earn $95,890,410.96 a day if they stuck it in a bank at 5% interest
If converted to dollar bills and placed end to end it would stretch 66,287,879 miles or 278 times around the moon
If you spent it at the rate of 1 million dollars a day it would take you 1,918 years to spend it all

[Red Kittie Kat]

I don't know if I could spend a million dollars a day ... but I would sure give it a shot :D

[Yossarian]

I don't know if I could spend a million dollars a day ... but I would sure give it a shot :D
You'd just blow it all on bacon and glitter. ;)

[Typically]

You'd just blow it all on bacon and glitter. ;)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!

[Red Kittie Kat]

Well the first couple mil anyway ... after that ... I might have to move on to chocolate and confetti :D

[reuber1]

For an upcoming article on Sunday, one of our writers figured the math for what it would be for each person above 18 in the States to get a chunk of the $700 billion, and it was a pretty nice number.

What's with the $85 billion number? Is that the new proposed bailout? I've been too busy to pay attention to the national news, lots of local stuff going on, and I've been busy.

[Bladez]

LOL @ Yoss

[Tea]

When do I get that check? :-)

Happy Friday everyone! The week is over! Can I still say yeah? yeah.

Great quotes! and the slippery pants one gets my vote for sure!

[Beans]

Happy Friday, Tea, you made it!

I just got word a bottle o'vodka may be arriving at my house in a bit. Yahoo! Prepare for some strange posting later if I'm capable!

[morea]

*packs self into box and mails to tuliptree*

[Beans]

*opens box*

These aren't the shoes I was looking for!

:D Oh wait, even better, it's Morea! Come on in, I'll pour you a drink! Let's celebrate it being Friday!

[Tea]

Sweet! I'm coming over too! What are you mixing with that vodka? Olives?

[Beans]

Yeay, pajama party!! Come on over Tea!

Well, one recipe I have been joking about with my husband and brother-in-law is meatball martinis. Vodka, warm olive oil, a few cocktail meatballs thrown in, with a sprig of basil!! GagLOL!!

Seriously, I've been mixing vodka with ginger beer, or ginger ale when I don't have the other, and pommegranate juice lately. It's almost scary how easy they go down! Very tasty.

[Tea]

I think I just read about those in a recent Bon Appetit or Gourmet. Is that a Moscow Mule? I'll have to try to find some ginger beer. Sounds tasty.

[Beans]

I don't know . . . I actually made it up (or I thought I did, but I wasn't very original!) but the first time it was with 7up because that's all I had, I looked it up and it was close to a Shirley Temple Black (as in grown up Shirley Temple) aka an Ambasador! LOL!

[Bladez]

Did somebody say.....Coconut Ninja?

[Beans]

Were your ears buring, Bladez? :) Actually, this would be a Shirley Ninja!!

[Virgo Nightingale]

I'll be at my parents' house hangin with some family, downin' a couple beers, then heading to our Friday night hangout where our friend bartends. Downin' a couple more beers there, then going home and probably downing a few more beers there. If I remember, I'll be videotaping my husband and cat performing a harmonica-and-meow duet.

[Rizz]

I'm stuck at work for the next 3 hours! Its slow and horrible! I keep fearing that last minute rush job that'll keep me here late!

I just wanna go home and eat pizza! Is that too much to ask?

-Rizz

[Bladez]

Were your ears buring, Bladez? :) Actually, this would be a Shirley Ninja!!

Wouldn't THIS be a shirley ninja?

Fail! no true ninja could blend in looking like that :D

[CkretAjint]

Rawr! She can cut my arms off any time!

[Red Kittie Kat]

the fact that that is a 10 year old Shirley Temple head doesn't bother you CA??

:D

[urstwile]

Happy Friday everyone! Kool, those classics were awesome! :D

Um....OUCH?!?! LOL

Nothing scarier than a 10 year old ninja with a....uh....sword (yea, we'll go with that) like that!!! But really, think of how many people would "want" your shirley ninja if it looked like that Tulip

[Beans]

lol, you do have a point (no pun intended!) I just prefer mine with a lot of vodka.

[garricks]

Oh, crap, I have to go bleach my eyes again.

[Bladez]

LMAO Garricks.

Can't decide if you should like it or not eh?

"Oooo....sexy body....10 year old face....I don't know if this makes me a pedophile or not!!"

[Beans]

lol Garricks and Bladez. How many times have they been bleached?

I'm about ready to fall over, and I haven't even had a drink yet! I've been cooking for 3 hours! I've made enchilada sauce, salsa, cooked chicken, and stuff to make vegetarian enchiladas. I've been chopping like a maniac! I'm beat. Drinks shall commence asap.

[Bladez]

Yay for drinks!!!

:p Hi Bladez, cheers!

Wow, you duplicated that pose very well, you're in the exact same spot as you were before when you cheered us with your Guinness! :D

[CkretAjint]

Seriously? Guinness in a can? I mean I love Guinness, but EW! At least get the bottle!!!

[garricks]

No, bladez, that one's simple. NO WANT!

[Beans]

Those are the draughts, aren't they? Don't they keep em draughty?

Am I spelling that right?

Fresh outta Guinness here tonight, its onto Amber Bock!

Cheers mate!

[Bladez]

Usually I pour the can into a glass like you're supposed to. The bottle you don't. If I'm drinking it from the can, it usually means I don't have any pint glasses clean. *LOL*

[Bladez]

You make it sound like I actually move AWAY from this computer Tulip......

[NTLemon]

Ckret your beer label is backwards.... you might need to check into that. :p

Yuengling for me tonight and Happy Friday Everyone

[Bladez]

Sweet! Me brudder just invited me over to his place for beers!!! Watch me go!!!
Good night kids!

[Tea]

Hello. It's Friday night...I have a Temparillo in my glass and waiting for a co-worker to show up. It' thundering, lots of lighting and very very frightening. mama mia, mama mia....

Hey Ckret! Nice mug.

[CkretAjint]

eh, it happens.... *drinks away backwards*

Gracias seniorita.

[Rizz]

Woo! 6 minutes till quitting time!

See you all Monday!

-Rizz

[garricks]

mama mia, mama mia....

Mama mia, let me go. Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

[Beans]

for me, for me, for me

This just made me spontaneously make a very funny laughy sound!!! lol!!!

Bladez, are you permanently fused to your computer? I think I may be, but the vodka moves me a way for a bit. Only a bit. I'm back already, see?
Oh but you're gone now! :( See, you can move AWAY away away . . .

Ih terkc! (that's backwards!)

Hi Tea (High Tea! :D) don't be scarded!

Lemon, Yuengling, that's from Philly, oldest brewery in America! I know this because Philly is practically my second home! :D

[garricks]

I wanted to superscript that last, screechy high "me." but I don't see a superscripting button. :(

Glad I could give you a chuckle ;)

[Beans]

It still had the perfect effect, Garricks. You definitely gave me a good chuckle.

To Garricks!! ((((((HUGS!!!)))))))

Uh oh, the vodka is kicking in. I'm gonna start getting all huggy now!

[garricks]

*tackle hugs tuliptree*

Gotcha FIRST! I'm at scotch-and-a-half. But I'm watching the debate, so every few minutes I throw up a little in the back of my mouth.

[Beans]

*knees buckle, tulip falls down* Hesllo Garricksh!

I made that sound again! It starts as a sniff, and then errupts into a chortle!

LOL! I'm now at vodka #2! I found a natural cherry ginger beer, I may need peeled off the floor in a bit.

[Tea]

For ME!!! guitar solo here....

Well, friend cancelled, but understandable. She was taking tickets at the game which is now back in action (I can practiacally watch it from my house) and she was drenched from the thunderstorm. Wet clothes are not enjoyable when partaking in the vino. Oh, well. I'm pooped anyway.

[Tea]

Hell, I was playing that stupid bubble shooter game for so long, I didn't see the extra posts.

Wine no. 2. here.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Bohemian Rhapsody never gets quoted enough :D

[a_muse]

Happy Friday!
I have been working too damn hard and I missed all the Friday fun, and now it`s practically Saturday, and I didn`t even have a rum snow cone tonight :(.

I did go to the all you can eat sushi restaurant tonight though, everything I tried was very yummy, although I did not eat the raw octopus, my friend did and did not recommend it.

[Beans]

Hi musey! :) Glad you made it here! Is it too late for a rum snow cone?

I've lost count on my Shirely drink. I think I'm going to revise my Tulip Ninja. I hadn't tried my mix with the kind of ginger beer I hve tonight, and I'm hooked. Reeds Cherry Ginger Brew with Vodka. Nice combo. The ginger beer has a bite to it. So that's my entry and I'll stick to it.

[Beans]

Looks like it's me, Kittie and Garricks holding down the fort.

What's happenin frends?

[Beans]

Bueller?

[Beans]

Ppl, you don't want to leave me alone in a thread. It would spell disaster.

[NTLemon]

I'm here! Although I am curious what would happen if you were left to your deviousness.

I'm drinking something called Cable Car ale now, its from Wisconsin though which makes me doubt the credibility of their cable cars.

[Beans]

I don't know, but you spared me! lol!

How is the Cable Car ale in taste?

[NTLemon]

Its pretty good. Fairly sweet for an amber ale.

Also an awesome comment about it from ratebeer:

Darker amber colored body with a slightly off white head. The aroma has some light toffee and boiled potatoes. There are also notes of fall leaves. Sweet oranges and some hints of Tootsie Rolls are the main flavors. There are also some notes of toast. A pleasant brew.

boiled potatoes, toast, and tootsie rolls apparently lol

[Beans]

That's great!! Notes of fall leaves.

Gotta love beer reviews. I tried a beer once that had a crazy review, and listed about 7 different tastes. I laughed at it, but after tasting it, I did say, "hhmm yes, coffee, toffee, nut, bread, brewers yeast, chocolate!"

(it didn't actually say brewer's yeast, I just couldn't remember a few! :D)

[NTLemon]

Some of them mention things like dandelions and stuff, I think they just add random flowers and scents to their reviews.

The GDF ninja IPA:

Hmmm... It tastes like bacon with a hint of rosemary, Pillsbury biscuits, avocado, and pine nuts.

[Red Kittie Kat]

I'll take one of those :D

[morea]

boy, you people keep odd hours.

Mimosas anyone? :D

[CkretAjint]

mimosas at 9:30 am?!?!?! Talk about odd hours! :p

[morea]

why is that odd?

[CkretAjint]

I'm still working on downing my cinnamon toast crunch. I doubt mimosas would go well with that... :p

[morea]

oh, it's not the time that's the problem, it's the choice of brefixt.

You need bacon, eggs, and toast. Or french toast. Or pancakes.
Mmm, pancake breakfast. :)

[a_muse]

mimosa would be loverly with an elegant breakfast though, I doubt morea would be subjecting herself to your "cinnamon toast crunch"
;)

[CkretAjint]

You're coming over to cook, right? That requires WAY to much forethought.... Plus the fridge is bare. :(

[BECKY609]

Enjoy the friday you guys - I am beginning to like this group here... :)

[CkretAjint]

It's Friday?!!! :eek: I must be REALLY late for work!


It's Saturday Beck! ;)

[Tea]

Morea...next time your in town, I'll introduce you to a French 75 (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/French-75-Cocktail-350235) (there is a 76 too that is mighty tasty).

and you're right...it's the breakfast fare. Eggs Benedict would be my choice. Yum...I might be able to make that this morning.

[morea]

I've always loved Eggs Benedict, but used to avoid them because most of the recipes I've seen for hollandaise sauce include ridiculous amounts of fat, like 1/2 cup of butter or 6 egg yolks!

Here's the recipe I use for a low-fat hollandaise sauce:


Mock Hollandaise Sauce
Makes enough sauce to serve 2

1-1/2 Tbsp butter - melt over medium heat
1-1/2 Tbsp flour - add to butter, cook and stir 1 min.
slowly add 1/2 cup milk, continue stirring while it thickens
beat in 1 egg yolk, cook 1 minute
stir in 1 tsp lemon juice

Add (salt) and pepper to taste and parsley and dash of cayenne pepper.
If it turns out a little to thick and just add a little more milk to get the right consistency.

Yum!

[Tea]

I may have to try that version. I especially like the amount it makes. Perfect for me.

[morea]

I actually refrigerate the part I don't use and microwave it the next day... the microwaving can make it get thick, but if you add a bit of milk and stir it well, it keeps that from happening.

it's soooo good!

[Red Kittie Kat]

Ooh that sounds delicious! I will have to try it too :)

I just made pancakes for lunch ... they were pretty good too ... Oh wait this isn't the lunch thread :D

[morea]

I hope you like it! I really do... and I'm not a great cook by any stretch of the imagination, but it's very easy to make.

I generally make the eggs, cook the ham, and pop the english muffins into the toaster before I start the sauce, because it's hard to step away once you start it, and you don't want to let it sit very long because it gets thick pretty quickly.

It's very good with hash browns (and mimosas)! :D

[Beans]

OM NOM NOM NOM!!

I'm eating this whole thread!!!
