Since the gang's all here...
Apologies for being AWOL (reminds me of a story, back with that in a bit). I got called in for a midnight shift and I thought, "Great! I can catch up on the Dis!"
It was not to be. It was weird. I got to the first TR I was going to respond to. Read the chapter... and that was it. I couldn't go anywhere on the Dis for the rest of the night.
Slept today, got up. Found out that my sump pump was burnt out (luckily it was still on warranty). Got a new pump, installed it (only
after I dropped the $@$# flashlight in the sump pit), made dinner, watched a movie with the fambly (Seeking a Friend for the End of the World... it has Steve Carell. I thought it was a comedy... not!), and now I'm beat... but had to post here first.
So those of you who are doing TRs (you know who you are) and want to know why I'm ignoring you.... there ya go.
The one that sounds funny though......Mr. Pkondz. I don't know why but every time I hear them say that I have this mental flash of Mr. Bojangles.
You'll never know why... but that put a smile on my face.
And by the way, I'm pretty certain the old ute is somewhere in the vicinity of my ankles about now......at least that's where it feels like it is!
Nothing like having a friendly dog curled up by your feet. I assume you have a malamute that's curled up at your ankles? That's what you meant, right?
Pkondz, when I read how Nebo phrased the calls to you and T-Man, I knew your response would be worth waiting for. Bless his little heart, our Nebo sometimes goes a bit further than just putting his foot in his mouth. Sometimes, it's like he puts the bottom of his shoe after he's walked through Club Cool at Epcot in there!!
Umm... ew. Thanks for that visual.
Course he's not alone. I've been known to chew on the odd pair of sneakers every now and then.
Does your malamute chew your slippers? Just wonderin'.
¿Que tiene dice hablamos español en Nuevo México? Somos parte de los Estados Unidos. Hablamos a inglés.
You're right, I should only expect Spanish in the Dakotas. Silly me.
Well, you might physically be 48, but you know the lyrics to Katy Perry songs so that would be the mental equivalency of 13-16, give or take a few years!
You know I'm just kidding with you Pkondz!!
Happy Late Birthday!!!!
Hey! Thanks for the Birthday shout out. 13-16? Nah, I'm mentally younger than that.
8-10 tops.
tops.
Aren't most men at the mental equivalency of 13-16? Depending on what kind of play they are interested depends on which end of the age range they are? Monster trucks or. . .pinup girls, (because it's a family forum)
Oh, and TM - thanks for letting me use my Spanish skills. Yo tengo problemas con frase entera estructura. Muy mal.
Well your sentence structure is better than mine... or I should say Google translate's.
And even if it wasn't a family forum, we'd still be mentally equivalent to children... slow learner children.
Oh, and before my fuzzy brain shuts down for the night... the AWOL story.
Back in my teenage days, my sister came up to me with a book she was reading and says, "What's a pow?"
"A pow? What? I dunno, use it in a sentence." So she reads something like, "The man was a pow during the later stages of the war."
"Oh!" I say, "You mean P-O-W! Prisoner Of War."
She replies, "Oh, okay. Then what's A-W-O-L?"
To which I reply, "awol? That's Absent With Out Leave."
Okay, it's a crappy story, but it was funny at the time... Just some of the things you can learn from watching MASH. See, it's educational.
Oh, and since she's on here too... Congrats to O kitty squared for winning this week's caption contest. I think that's her first win.
Nighty night, all.
