POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

Look closer. She's got her hand over the kid's mouth and nose! He can't even breath!

HAHAHAHAHA...It looks like she's trying to cover his whole face!
Ok now don't change the subject....we're gonna bug you til you give a hint. That's what they did to me

OK All you Loonies Back to the Asylum

And you wonder how Santa stay so Jolly?

See, one request for a hint and ninth hits the road He really doesn't want to tell..

(Wicked Santa...very creepy)

Of course if that does not do it maybe the elves did?



Yup I kind of figured Ninth was lurking about watching us from the sidelines!

OK I do believe that Ninth left us a clue, just not the normal type Miss M!
Am I right Ninth Wave AKA Al ? Is that your name Ninth, Al?

Al? Where did that come from? Ok, I can see you guys are relentless. This goes against my better judgment but it starts with an S, and it's not Susanne, Shirley, or Steve. Those names have been taken, by lunatics.

I followed your photobucket link to albedo, and deduced Al from that? Now we have to figure out albedo!
OK lets start with Stan? Where are the Dark Side Babes anyway? I think they may have left the Asylum.

Hey. Just got back. Gotta put stuff up and I'll be back.

Hi Shirley welcome back.
I was searching for good eBay jokes but could only find this. I am only providing a link as I think it would push the posting limits of Auctiva? http://www.jokesandhumor.com/jokes/408.html

__________________________________________________________________
A man went to a bird auction one day. While there, he placed a bid on an exotic parrot. He really wanted this bird, so he got caught up in the bidding. He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and higher. Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the bid - the fine bird was finally his! As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the Auctioneer, "I sure hope this parrot can talk. I would hate to have paid this much for it, only to find out that he can't talk!" "Oh, do not worry", said the Auctioneer, "He can talk. Who do you think kept bidding against you?"

Re: link to the ebay pic. This must be a rare case where the picture is worth more than the item.

I think we're already nudging the posting limits.

Thanks Taz. lol I remember that picture. Wonder how much that picture's worth, or would be if it could be captured and kept exlcusive.
haaaahaaaa at the bird. I want a bird.

Ya think we're nudgin' it Ninth? Why would you say that? lol

Hey, no different than the funny emails everyone forwards to their friends, right? (Think we can hide behind that rationalization?)

Hey I'm bad and an ole fuddy dud. I don't do that. Is that why I don't get what you're sayin'? lol

That's hi-lair-e-us Shirley girl.

hi-lair... I'll show ya Lair!

OT: I think I'm caught in eBay's playground again. On live help and he has no idea what I'm talking about.

Oh wait... this whole thread is OT, isn't it? lol

I like it when you talk like that.

Hi all.
I've only got a few minutes here, but ninth says his name starts with S...Could it be..........................S A N T A ???

Yesh ok that's really bad

Hey MM! *hug* He could be Santa, yes! lol

Ninth, I'll be the spider and you be the fly.

NICE TRY M.

"You're NOT Santa? Who's the flashy Santa?"

Not me, I just posts 'em as I sees 'em.

HA! I was paying attention and deleted my post too.

edit... awww, did I upset you? Are you not talking to me now Ninth? I'll take it back.

GOSH, this is getting better all the time!

Ok since you're not Santa (he wouldn't be living in the desert anyway) and we already said Stan...I'm at a loss...Sam?

Oh, you've got such a long ways to go. I'm not a pushover like some people we know.

edit: ok I'm a pushover, one more hint: three letters, and not Sam.

Need a li'l devil smiley, Ninth. I'll try the one I can't see. lol bleh. didn't work.

Need a spider smiley instead.

edit... I don't think it's Sue. lol

Where's Evil Santa, he's the smiley man.

I'm not giving up
Sebastian
Sal (any variation)
Santiago
Saul
Scott (I'll bet it's Scott ?)
Sean
Seth
Sid
Am I even close????

>>>You edited after I typed in all these long names

Sug?

Miss M - Hey you're cheating with some kind of online trickery, and you didn't even see my last hint. Go back and look. edit: I wouldn't do that to you, honest injun.

Miss S - Are you nuts?

quote:

Miss S - Are you nuts?

You betcha!

I know. It's Sid.

Of course I'm cheating
I'll never get it otherwise
But I'm fresh out of ideas now!
Sol?
Sun?

A guys name with 3 letters?? WAY tougher than it sounds!

Syd with a 'y'?
Course if you didn't fess up to that one you'd be splitting hairs.........

You girl dudes are just too good. Yes it is Miss S, but Miss M got there first and doesn't even know it(if you count a lucky blast from a double-barrel shotgun blind-folded as pinpoint accuracy). Syd with a "y" is a girl's name ladies.


Sid

Miss M, I think I scared him. *snicker*

edit... well she sure did. I didn't see that. Sorry MM, didn't mean to steal it. No, no Y. lol

edit/edit "(if you count a lucky blast from a double-barrel shotgun blind-folded as pinpoint accuracy)." LOLOL You're funny!!!

Susanne, Shirley, Steve, & Sid. Sounds like a law firm. Better: a vaudeville act.

Well hello SID
Actually while I was busy cheating, they DID have Syd with a Y for guys listed...

Pete's gonna have to change his name...the Auctiva ASylum is all Ssssss'

You know what I mean

BTW...Girl dudes??? You just get funnier all the time!

Oops-gotta go--be back later

Miss M - I stand corrected on the 'y' thing, and I'm sure we can think of something for Pete. (something he'll really love us for)

Miss S -

quote:

edit/edit "(if you count a lucky blast from a double-barrel shotgun blind-folded as pinpoint accuracy)." LOLOL You're funny!!!

Thought you might appreciate that, Miss "Shoots like a guy" Shirley.

"embarrassing" is what you get for being a tomboy miss spider girl.

Don't know where that Choo guy is, probably lurking about somewhere.

I DO appreciate that Ninth. lol You're funny and observant!

OT again - It seems I'm stuck in eBay's playground with no way to get out. They're trying to help me get out now.

HELP ME HELP ME!!! lol
AAAAAgggggggghhhh! It just booted me out of the chat for about the fifth time, this time it totally ended it. I could just cry!

Sorry, what doe's OT mean again? And how do you get stuck in the playground? I definitely need to avoid that!

Off Topic. But this whole thread is off topic. Or maybe not. lol

I don't know how I got stuck in their stupid playground. It wasn't by choice and this is the third day of frustration and it's even worse today. It kicked me back in this morning. And I can't get out.

Yes, I'd say avoid it at all costs. I like playgrounds. NOT this one though.

from AuctionBytes: (to get out of "The Playground") "Users can go back to the regular eBay site by simply closing their browser or clicking "Go to the regular eBay site" link."

I guess the above does not work? And what's with this 'playground' terminology anyway? How stupid is that?

Ms S..I guess clearing cookies & cache doesn't work for you? (I'm sure you've done that) That was the only thing to get me out of their stupid 'search' test..

Sid--"I'm sure we can think of something for Pete. (something he'll really love us for)"

That opens up a whole realm of possibilities that I'm sure he WON'T love us for

Any ideas Miss S? The Darkside Babes should be able to come up with something..

Oh Shirley, BTW..Ebay is all screwed up today. All my sold items are gone (there were about 66 of them) and thank God only one person hasn't paid yet but when I click on 'Waiting for payment for 1 item 'link I get nada...I have to do an advanced search on myself just to get the info for that buyer, gotta send a second invoice. I sure hope it comes back soon. I think you & I are both caught in the middle of the glitches

WoW--1982 views so far!

I just got done. I started to put the details here but I think I'll go to the other thread. No, none of these worked. Pete, my sentiments about naming it the "playground" are over there. grrr

Thank ya'll! I need all the moral support I can get right now. I could just cry cause I literally can't do anything on there without walking away to let it load. I can't even come here cause I can still see it. lol So I'm gonna laugh about it! Don't wanna cry.

An S name for Pete... hmmm That'll distract me. Good.

Shirley,
You know live help is really live helpless right Please don't be upset, you got out before I'm sure you'll get out again...look very carefully for a tiny link (most likely down at the bottom if your page ever finishes loading). Maybe there's an 'opt out' link somewhere. I'm crossing my fingers for ya!

Well Miss M, I posted a long ole post explaining it on that other thread. There truly is no link, anywhere. There should be one that lets me return to regular ebay.

Thankyou. It'll work out. I'm a patient person, though too much longer and I'm gonna be asking for part of my monthly fees back.

Now, back to fun! I don't mean to drag this FUN thread down!

Ohhhhh Niiinth, won't you come into my parlor???

Your parlor, or your "playground", locked in without a key. I read your other post, what a nightmare. I wonder how many other users this is happening to. If it locks on to an IP address, you can't be the only one.

Anyway your "parlor" sounds very dangerous, and extremely, how shall I say, 'compelling'. Your pic is way so hypnotizing. Whoo! Whoo! "You're under my spell, you'll do what I say." (Some tomboy!)

THERE you are! Come closer my pretty! (wicked witch laugh)
*rubbing hands together* lol

Uh-oh ninth...you better watch out! She's really after you
Shirley the Spider...another S name.

OH NO! I CAN'T RESIST! I'M UNDER YOUR SPELL! HELP ME!!!

Oh! I got it backwards.
"You're under my spell, you'll do what I say." I thought I'm under your spell.

I'LL Help you! lol

Hello all I just stepped back into this! Sounds as though FeeBay has done it again?

Oh yeah, Taz
Big time too! I see a rant thread starting

hey Taz. eh, it's starting to feel 'normal'. lol

Whoa, where have you been? It's about time you showed up, these dudettes have been ganging up on me. They even managed to get my name! See what two wiley coyotes can do to a poor innocent fella all alone?

What is locking onto your ID? Is there a insidious worm out here?

quote:

locks onto a member's IP Address.

No Taz. It's the "eBay Playground (testing?)" that's locking onto it.

Ninth, helpless? You?? You ARE soooooo funny!

You're not alone, Sid..
As it is now, there's 3 of you guys and 2 of the Darkside Babes You don't stand a chance! Hee Hee!

LOL Miss M! How true!
that li'l smiley sure has some buck teeth!

OK I am a bit lost? But for Pete and an S name Saint Peter?

Huh?
Now that's to the point, aint it

You're right, those are terrible odds. Oh what are we to do?

Whatcha lost about Taz?

I'm trying to lure Ninth into my parlor. He's yelling for help. Miss M is watchin' his back.

Saint Pete's better than anything I've come up with, which is nothing. lol

'Saint Pete' has me ROFL!!!!!

OK gotta read these posts and see what the H#ll is going on in this madhouse!

quote:

Huh?

Huh what?

Saint Peter!? He's going to love that!

Ninth, what else IS there to do?

Shirley,
'Huh' because I think Taz came in w/o reading our nutty recent postings

"Ninth, what else IS there to do?"

Nothing I guess, two brilliant babes such as yourselves (BB's for short)have got us at your mercy!

You are right Miss M and I have had a few Scoops tonight and it is time for me to shut the lights! So I will leave Y'all to the madness until tomorrow!

Hey guys & girl,
2155 views...but is it counting US as well??

G'night Taz. Sweet dreams.

Ninth... come hither, hither pretty fly

Shirley?????
Did you have a few scoops tonite too?????

Probably MM. I'll be sad if this thread ends with the new year.

edit...
edit/edit...
edit/edit/edit... lol The probably is for the counts. Nah, not tonight. Just playin'.

You're so funny..you're teasing Mr ninth worse than I ever did
I only offered him a whack on the head

LOL I know I'm a bad girl. Hey, he started it. lol

Didn't ya Ninth? *snicker*

Looks like only the two of us left and I'm gettin ready to go to sleep...go back to work this weekend, bummer! I'll check in in the morning tho, I have a feeling St. Peter will show up

You'll notice my answer was YES.

Too funny Ninth cause I was just thinking I need to tell you I won't kill you, pretty fly.

ruhroh Ninth. Miss M's leaving us here all alone.

Sweet dreams Missy. See ya in the mornin'.

But I thought that's what spiders did to their prey, after they had their way that is. Are you sure this isn't a trick?

I guess some folks actually go to sleep at night, probably not a bad idea.

Oh but this IS a trick. lol

Yeh, I guess it's a good idea.
What's your time zone? No, what time is it there? I get confused. lol

I'm at PST, it's 12:36 and time for all good spidey gals and their victims to crawl into their little nests. I'm sure I'll dream of the creepy little bug-things all night long, thanks a lot Miss S, and a fine good night to you.

I need a sticky note with the time zones.

How handsome are your gauzy wings, how brilliant are your eyes! *batting eyes*
Sweet dreams Ninth.

Wow! You folks have been busy while I was gone! Next stop, 2,500 views!

Hey Sid, nice to meet you!

Shirley, sorry to hear about your woes, I hope it's all sorted for you now?

I read all the posts, hoping you would come up with a fitting 'S' name for me, like Sexy Pete, or Suave pete, or Super Pete. What did I get? Saint Pete Not sure I've ever done anything saintly!

OK, off again now, not sure if I'll be back on over the weekend, but I'll try. See y'all!

Pete, actually I kind of thought of 'Slick'

Whatcha think

edit// And P.S. Hope your other half is beter!!

Alright I kind of caught up on this thread, however it does appear a few posts were deleted? I suppose to keep this at a PG-13 level?
Y'all were certainly busy last night while I was out socializing!
Evidently you guys were thread jumping last night so I guess I will have to read the boards?
Still at a loss for the "eBay playground"
Sorry for the Saint Peter, Pete but I went with my first thought!

No problem Steve, it's nice to be included in the fun!

Susanne, you little minx, 'Slick'? That conjures up images of sort of sleazy, n'er do well type of guys, doesn't it? here's me, trying to honestly flirt with you (all done in the best possible taste), and you think of Slick! I'm going to go and cry into my beer

Alright I do believe I am as up to speed as I will ever be, I even went to the eBay playground to check it out. Funny I never even knew it existed! I did not stay there long for fear of getting Shanghaied or is that Shirleyed?
So Shirley was this why you have been having problems with your eBay page loading?

Susanne, thanks for asking after OH - she seems better, but little lad woke up sick in the night, and now is running a temperature Wrong time for an 8 year old to get a cold isn't it?

Pete 'minx' is kind of funny too!
Nah, in these parts (at least my part) Slick can have any connotation you want it to....depending on the tone of voice.
I meant it in the best possible way (fingers crossed behind my back)
You can flirt with me all you want but I won't be back here til late tonite..got work today.
Hi Taz...TTY all later

1 more edit--sorry to hear the little one isn't feeling good either..that means you're probably next

OK Susanne, fingers crossed or not, I'll take it as a compliment!

Yes, I probably will, won't I? OK, off to make a pre-emptive strike on the virus - whisky, here I come!

TTFN

Oh no! It's been almost 8 hours since this thread's been posted to. We can't have that!

Yes, Taz, this is the one and same playground giving me all the grief. I can get in a little faster, which sure isn't saying much. lol I had a long ole run-on sentence that got deleted on here about it. I think I hit the mousepad somehow and it does that. Maybe later I'll do it again.

Sue, I hope your first day back went well and you had a fun happy day at work!

Pete, I haven't thought of what I want to suggest yet. Are we in a hurry or do I have more time to keep thinking about it?
Meant to ask how's your OH and son? Sending positive thoughts. Hope they're weell fast!

Ninth, can you come out and play? Betcha can't find me!

Ohhh where are all you sweet people? I have a WOOHOO! and need someone to share it with!
I'm sorry if it's embarrisking. lol I'm so tickled I could just scream! Oh wait, I already did that. LOL Woohoooooo! Check it out:
http://tinyurl.com/3xg5en

O M G !!!!
Can't really write cos I'm still at work, but...
OMG!! I don't know what else to say
HUGE congrats! Now let's hope you get paid

Later~~~~

Thank you Miss M! I'm still so excited. I just now stopped shaking so much.
Great feedback on buyer. I'm sure they'll get paid for.

Missy that's too incredible! Beers all around! Maybe some of that good luck will rub off on the rest of us. Congrats on you! Nice Christmas present, yes yes!

Hey Ninth. Thanks! Beer's on me! Several rounds. 'Tis the best Woohoo! I've had, on eBay. Yes, very nice Christmas present. ohmanohmanohman!

Geez where the heck is everybody? Very lonely on this thread tonite *sniff*sniff

Miss S I'm so happy for ya! I do pretty well in the Spring & summer with my Harley stuff but nothing ever got up THAT high!

P.S. That beer sure hits the spot...

Slick Pete
Suave Pete
Sexy Pete (his choice I'm sure
Scary Pete
Sweet Pete
Sleazy Pete (kidding on that one
Santa Pete (was that you in the flashing pic

I'll have to try to think of some more, kind of brain dead right now........

Poor Miss M left out in the cold! Sorry I was out for scoops and shants again tonight. The pool table was cold and the Fiancee even more so!
Oh well I have always been one to forge my own path!
Tis a shame but we have agreed and it does not suit us anymore!
Ex-hubby and kids I cannot compete, but on the bright side it means the second job is done!
Merry Christmas All and Happier Days in the New Year!
Edit: OMG Miss S way to go! That is a great Christmas present/surprise! Hope your good fortune continues into the next year!

Hi Taz,
Well I'm really sorry to hear THAT piece of bad news! I hope you're OK
An ex with kids complicates things more than they already are...

And what is a shant??????

Screaming Pete
Screwball Pete

?????

OK now I'm just getting bizarre, it's past my bedtime on a work night.

Need some help here guys!

Taz, I'm sorry to hear that too. Bless your heart. *hug*

"And what is a shant??????"
And how do scoops and shants go together?

edit - Miss M, I hope you're still here. I didn't see the past your bedtime part till after posting.

Well hey there Miss S! I thought I was all by my lonesome I'll probably be up another half hour or so...we're in the same time zone right? Is it 1:40am there?

I cannot believe that sale! What a fantastic Christmas present!

Yeah! You're still here. Yes, same time zone.
I can't believe it either. They're a very rare find around here. I knew they were special and hoped they'd get way on up there. They proved my wildest dreams can come true.

And here I thought I'd been a bad girl this year. Santa sure has already been good to me and Christmas isn't even here yet. lol

It's to help make up for all the carp dealt out from eBay the last few days - four now, though today's a lot better.

Thanks so much for celebrating with me ya'll!!!

Let's talk about you now. How was your day?

Ya know I had a bunch of stuff like that my grandma left behing...tossed it all! Who knew?? That was a long time ago tho, I didn't even know ebay existed.

So...any ideas for Pete's 'S' name? (He's gonna hate them all

Fore some reason I still like Saint Pete the best.......

Day was good, thanks. Poor ppl stuck in the hospital at Christmas...sad.

Auctiva is very slow for me right now, when I hit 'post' it takes forever. Glad your ebay is getting back to normal!

My Mom(in law) said she threw a bunch away. She didn't take me seriously until I called her tonight and had her look. She about flipped! Darn, wish I could've seen her face!

I still haven't thought of Pete's 'S' name. I like Sexy Pete. I like that word though, so I would. lol I dunno. I just figure it'll come to me... in a dream or something.

Yeh, my oldest daughter's been having to deal with a virus going through their family all last week. Today's her first time out in a long time. They had a Christmas party tonight they went to without the kids. Yeah for her! I hate hearing about anyone sick during any holiday, especially now.

I'm glad you told me about it being slow posting. I thought maybe it's my computer and not just eBay's doings about the slow over there thing. lol

adding... about Mom, she said she has a 20s dress that was her Mom's when she was a teenager. She took it apart at the waist but it can easily be reattached and I can have it to fix it and sell if I want. It's black crushed velvet. Can't wait to see it. I'll be nervous about fixing it and may just have it professionally done instead of tackling it myself.

I sure am rambling on. lol

Can't believe nobody's around but us...It was kinda warm today (never a good sign in Chicago in Dec) so now we're having high winds and I think it's supposed to get real cold & dump alot of snow tomorrow..hate driving in that carp. So come on over & we'll have our snowball fight
Normally hubby would be out on the bike with his buddies, even in the winter, but not tonite! Wish I lived somewhere warm

Yeh, it's been really quiet here tonight. I'm glad the guys popped in to help me celebrate a little. lol
[edit] Oh, I meant to say about when you popped in from work. That is soooo sweet you did that! Thank you!

I think we get all kinds of weather here. We even have earthquakes sometimes. Thankfully I've never known it. I think that and hurricanes would be one of the scariest things ever. Tornadoes are aplenty here though.

The wind picked up a little while ago. It was bitter cold this morning with the North wind. Then it got nice and calm for the afternoon.

I love riding in the cold, getting all leathered up. I just love winter and layering with long johns and bundling up. I know... wierd.

If I had that dress I'd have it professionally done, but that's just me...can't sew, can't cook, not domestic at all

You'll probably get a good buck for it...people love vintage..when I think of all the stuff I've given away I could whack myself in the head

Ok, you ARE wierd
I hate the cold SO much!! LOVE the steamy heat we have here in the summer. But when it comes to riding, any weather will do (as long as it's not raining) Just too uncomfortable...I'm a wimp

Well gonna hit the hay, talk tomorrow...congrats again!

I know what you mean! I keep stuff forEVER and have finally stopped doing that. Now I wish I had all my clothes from my teen years and twenties! And my Mom's stuff. I'd be keeping that and wearing it myself though. lol
I just love all things vintage.

I can sew but it's been awhile and am just getting it all set back up (fairly recent move). I'd just feel better about having someone else do it though. Cooking.... love to. I'll cook while I'm there for our snowball fight.

omg I'll email ya with a ridin' in the rain story.

Sweet dreams. Thanks again!

Hey all. Scoops are pints of beer and shants are alcoholic drinks. But I am sure Pete is familiar with the terms?
TY for the kind words/ hugs about EX-fiancee (Almost feels good to say that!)
Everyone hits rough patches and this is but a bump in the road.
Her kids (all 5!) were major PITAs and I do like kids but they could be monsters.
Told mom and her response was "It's about time" LOL
Well I am off to go do some shopping. and take my mind off things.
Shopping ALWAYS helps!

Hi Taz,
Are those terms 'the Brits' would use??
(just funnin with you Pete)

Wow 5 kids.....I think we should have been calling you Saint Steve

Poppin' in to say Hi. Hope everyone's havin' a happy day!

Taz, Miss M is right... we should call You Saint Steve!

Moms know things we don't, even if we don't like to admit it. Have fun shopping!

back from shopping. Bought all kinds of CRAP I did not need but fell better!
Actually picked those drinking terms up from a fellow from South Wales that was here a few months ago that I met in my local hangout. A friend of mine owns a biker bar a few blocks from me.
I will have to post a pic of the tap system he has on here sometime for y'all to see. It is a Harley motor converted over to a 4 tap system. Pretty cool looking.
Anyway my area has a big railroading background and we get tourists from all over the world, and alot of times they pop into Magoo's ( My buddies nickname and the name of the pub.)
Little known fact during WWW II a couple of Nazis were picked up in Florida on there way here to blow up the Horseshoe Curve which is about 10 miles from me. I am actually located in a little town called Cresson which is the Birthplace of Admiral Peary who was the first person to reach the North Pole(besides Evil Santa of course!)
But enough of history!

How about a good joke?
________________________________________________________________________
A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court. When the Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.

The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is."

The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the money is.

The bookkeeper signs back, "I don't know what you are talking about."

The attorney tells the Godfather, "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."

The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it the bookkeeper's temple and says, "Ask him again!"

The attorney signs to the bookkeeper, "He'll kill you if you don't tell him!"

The bookkeeper signs back, "OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens!"

The Godfather asks the attorney, "Well, what'd he say?"

The attorney replies, "He says you don't have the balls to pull the trigger."

Lawyers...You gotta love 'em.

Taz, you Are a Saint... a guy that loves shopping! Isn't that pretty much unheard of? lol

A few things to ponder...

Why cant woman put their mascara on with their mouth closed?

Why is it called alcoholics anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say "hi, my names Bob. I'm an alcoholic"?

Why are they called stairs inside but steps outside?

Why is there a light in the fridge but not in the freezer?

Why does mineral water that has trickled through mountains for centuries have a use by date?

Why do toasters always have a setting on them which burns your toast to a horrible crisp no one would eat?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say "I think ill squeeze these dangly things here and drink what comes out"?

What do people in China call their good plates?

If the professor on Gilligans Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why cant he fix a hole in a boat?

What do you call male ballerinas?

Can blind people see their dreams and do they dream?

Why is a person who handles money called a broker?

If corn oil is made from corn and vegetable oil is made from vegetables. What is baby oil made from?

If a man is walking in a forest and no women is there to hear him is he still wrong?

Why is it that when someone tells you that theres billions of stars in the universe,
you believe them. But if they tell you theres wet paint somewhere you have to touch it?

Did you ever notice that if you blow in a dogs face it goes mad, yet when you take him on a car ride he sticks his head straight out the window?

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

Yeah I feel I am the perfect catch, Shirley! I like shopping going to yard sales, flea marketing etc. Heck if I go to the grocery store and skip an aisle I feel as though I missed something!
Well I am about to embark on an important shopping trip again! Gotta get out and start me some woman shopping.I do believe this time though I may stick to looking for a woman with less baggage. Hmm maybe I will auction myself off on eBay? Slightly used male enjoys shopping, quite walks etc.... LMAO
My 23 year old daughter actually told me she has a couple of friends that think I am date worthy. Is that the words I want?
I like the things to ponder Shirley.
Really glad we "heckled" Ninth into this post, it is a good diversion.
Thanks for being such a good sport Ninth almost forgot Syd or was it Sid?

Hey good buddies, I just got back from the yearly madhouse at the mall. Nearly got trampled to death, what with all the big spenders. It looks like I'm going to have to ramp up my ebay sales just to break even. I'm afraid shopping isn't really much of a pleasure for me. Maybe if I had more $$$! But when you don't have enough it's torture. Well Christmas shopping is over and it's time for that beer Miss Shirley. Magoo's sounds like the happenin' place to kick back, right Taz? Oh, and it's 'Sid'. Anyway Taz, sorry to hear your tale of woe, but speaking as an outsider looking in, that did sound like an awful lot of baggage, maybe you were 'saved' from a real close call.(I like to think positively.)Anyway metaphorically speaking, now the decks are cleared for action - time to rock n roll.

Thanks Ninth yeah Magoo,s is a pretty cool place they get some good people and good bands. I actually help out there every once in awhile. I use to cook there but other projects took me away.

Trying to locate a band or DJ to book for New Year's Eve right now for there.

Thanks for the words on the EX-fiancee I am actually feeling pretty good about it right now. I was seeing the signs a few months ago and was getting prepped for it.
I like your thinking Ninth

One of my favorite sayings is "Time to Turn N Burn" from Top Gun. Yeah I am sappy too, really enjoying the theme song by Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone" and Berlin "Take my Breath Away"

'Take my Breath Away' is one of the best songs of all time! The Top Gun scenes accompanying it are not too shabby either.

edit: "I was seeing the signs a few months ago and was getting prepped for it."

Definitely sounds like it wasn't meant to be. And if it wasn't meant to be, then you were definitely SAVED - no other way to look at it. Rejoice at your good fortune, and have another brew!

Hi guys-
Writing from work (shame on me
You both went SHOPPING today???
YUCK!
I guess I'm the only female I know who hates to shop unless I can do it online....

I'll be waiting for the presents you both bought me

Hope you're still online when I get home tomite.

A fem who hates to shop? What's wrong with you? I thought that's what you all lived for! (just kidding) Does that mean you're low maintenance? Bet hubby likes that, more for the bike, right? Right?? Hello?? I was just about to buy your present when I ran out of money at that very moment. Dang!

I bet you like to cook too, Taz! Don't forget to include that in your auction. Aren't the rules pretty much that you have to have something tangible? So there ya go! O'course, you'd have to screen your bidders very, very carefully! lol I'd make it a private auction too. And we could all put you on our watch list... maybe all the readers would put you on theirs too and get you on the ebay's Pulse page. What fun!!

Now, seriously, I agree with what Ninth says about being 'saved'. Your daughter being 23, she may not want to babysit for you and with 5 pita's, you'd certainly need a regular sitter. If mom's letting them get away with things they shouldn't be doing, it'd be up to you, the responsible parent, to get them straightened out... IF she would allow it.

Think how peaceful your Life will be now! See ya'll at Magoo's! I'm ready.

If Ninth were on the other side of the poll, Syd would be right. lol Ninth, would that make you the spider too?

Top Gun... I love that movie! You guys sure have good taste!

I don't envy anyone spending time at the mall. lol Miss M, you and I really do have a lot in common, don't we? I'm happy to have met you and all you guys!
ehh, all mushy now!

Are you kidding? I hate spiders! (Although in your case, I'll definitely make an exception. Can't wait to see your web.) BTW, Did you spend all your new-found wealth yet? What did you buy me and Taz for Christmas?

Ohhh, now that does sound intriguing.

See what you started? Bad girl!

haha I almost missed your edit up there. Or I missed it the first time thinking about how to pretty my web for you, sweet little fly.

No gifts yet. I'm saving it to give careful thought... No rushed buying for ya'll ever!

What I started? lol I'll get my web all ready. Now come closer still.

Bad girl!

Yes, I'm a baaaaad girl. I'm not worthy, oh pretty, pretty fly!

Oh you're worthy all right, don't try your tricks with me your cleverness, I can't be fooled that easy. Much. (oh... I do like bad). All you hundreds of onlookers...don't read this!(yeah right)

quote:

don't read this!(yeah right)

lol I marvel at your gossamer wings and wonder what's on your lively mind.

GEEZ you two, break it up, do I have to seperate you?

Oh and Taz,
You LIKE to go grocery shopping????? Ewwwww!!
I make hubby do it It's absolute torture for me, always has been.

And Miss S, you hate the malls too, huh?? I'm starting to think we're twins........

quote:

I'm starting to think we're twins........Smile

I know Miss M. lol We'd have so much fun if we lived near each other.

Hey, I still say Ninth started it. lol I'm just not letting it go.

Taz, are you at Magoo's? Be sure to have a beer for all of us.

quote:

I bet you like to cook too, Taz!

I guess you missed my post about Rudolph being missing and making Deer Jerky!
Yes I am quite the cook if I do say so myself!
I have worked in several upscale restaurants in my area. Italian food is a specialty of mine.
Yes grocery shopping Miss M! I spent 20 bucks today on the gourmet olive bar!
As promised photos of the tap system at Magoo's!

Hey Miss S, glad you're here. Hey we'd be dangerous if we lived near each other
Dangerous Darkside Girls/Babes
Poor Sid the Ninth doesn't stand a chance....

I wonder where Sexy St. Pete is?? I bet he ended up getting sick...either that or he's busy buying all of our Christmas gifts ....

Anyway, I think I scared the pretty fly away. Did you think I'd kill you after all? umm No. Other spiders may... not this one.

OK here is the pic from the back side of the bar.

Beer for all of us? Heck with that, I want one too! In fact, a Corona and lime sounds pretty good about now. Too bad I don't have any limes. If Taz were at Magoo's, how could he answer you back, unless they have a computer a Magoo's? Knowing HighTechTaz, he'll find a way, maybe on his cell phone.

Great pics Taz!!! Wish I was there right now! And we're posting at the same time again

LOL Yes I was trying to hook the wireless up at Magoo's tonight but could not get it configured or I would be posting from there!

Whoa! Somebody put some time in on that. Are you posting from Magoo's Taz? Edit - you just answered my question.

OOPS gotta edit the photo size down I stretched the post and have to scroll sideways to read it!!

LOL
I posted and this HUGE picture starts loading at the same time. Wow! Taz! That's some setup.

I didn't miss the beef jerky and even commented on it. lol I just forgot. *snicker* Yum! Italian! That's a favorite.

Sexy St. Pete, I like that! lol I'd rather think he's out buying our gifts than being sick.

Ninth has mesmerized me. Not sure I have a chance. lol

Goodness I type slow. Everyone's posting at the same time.

Of course, I know he can't answer me silly. He can feel we're here talking to him though. See? Here he is now. LOL

What a sweet talker! So tricksy!

In the background of the first photo is a handmade wooden V-twin also!
Yeah I do like the place and have been known to make more than my share of appearances there!

I knew there was a reason my ears were burning!
BTW The pictures were taken with my new purchase today a 10.1 Mega Pixel Samsung with a 10 x zoom.
It is sweet!

We have similar places around here but none of them are as awesome as that

You know it Taz. lol Can I save those pics? That's just incredible!

aww Ninth, you want me to stop?

Yeh Miss M, us too. None could compare to that for sure.

Free domain and all go right ahead and save them!
I edited my last post also.

Thanks Taz! Congrats on the new camera. I'm crazy about mine - not new but I still love it.

Taz - Yup them's SHARP pics. Bet full file size is most impressive.

Miss S - Oh I think not.

Well this is an interesting turn of events...
All this mesmerizing going on

Fast approaching 3,000 hits here and over 19 pages! Hmm when do ya think Auctiva will step in and post to us!
But we are having SO MUCH FUN! Well this is the forum for off topic! We are definitely off topic and quite possibly 1 or 2 of us is off our rockers!
Edit: I could not pass the camera up! Last years model , clearance priced , picked it up for a shade over 100 dollars!( With Mom's retired Sears employee discount)

One or two of us Taz ? Probably all of us, tho some are more 'off' than others
Poor Pete is missing all the fun, he's sure gonna have alot to catch up on!

Yes, I'm waiting for the intervention any time now. At least we aren't permanently tying up their storage, it will all self-delete in time.

Miss M - She means she's mesmerized by Taz's great photos. Right Miss S?

OK I did not want to say ALL OF US!
BTW Miss S I assume the eBay loading problem is fixed?
I went to the Playground just to check it out. Never knew it existed!

I think the only topics of this thread are fun and being off topic. lol

Why should they intervene? Surely it's okay. Yep, I think we're all a li'l teched in the head.

Ninth, don't you try that trick on me. You oughta know by now your twinkling eyes are what have me mesmerized.

Though your photos are quite outstanding Taz.
edit - No Taz. It's still giving me problems. There are parts I can get around in at least. I'll find out how shipping labels go in the morning.

After Miss S's problem of not being able to get out, you sure are bold.

quote:

you sure are bold.

I agree with Ninth. That's what I thought when you first said that, was it yesterday, Taz. I'm sure glad you got out of it alright.

I must admit to being a bit of a computer nut Ninth! If you tell me it is a problem I have to check it out!
I had no problems getting out of the playground though!??
Edit: Yes it was yesterday Shirley.

I've been grabbing screen shots right and left. I don't know why, other than maybe to prove to myself in the future I'm not totally insane. lol

Miss S - Being a fly, I have 1000 eyes. That means I see 1000 images of you. That means I see 8000 legs. So, how could I not be mesmerized!

quote:

Miss M - She means she's mesmerized by Taz's great photos. Right Miss S?

Ummm...I don't think so Ninth

Why are we still calling him ninth when we practically forced him to tell us his name? We ARE all off our rockers, and I'm with Taz and Sid, I keep waiting for an intervention telling us ENOUGH already!

quote:

I've been grabbing screen shots right and left. I don't know why, other than maybe to prove to myself in the future I'm not totally insane.

OK Miss S the definition of insanity , Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results?
So exactly how many screen shots are you grabbing?

And more importantly, why?

Yes but Miss M until the INTERVENTION how much fun are we having? Still cannot believe no-one else has stepped in!
No sign of Choo at all on any boards?
Edit:

quote:

And more importantly, why?

See above definition of insanity!
Oh what a tangled web we weave Miss S!

Oh she's good at those webs! And Choo probably doesn't want to get mixed up in all this loonyness.
