POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

Well welcome back to the nut house Ninth. Been awhile since we heard from ya. The thread has really slowed of late! Heck we only have 2400 replies and 19482 page views! This will not do got to muster up the militia and get this party back on track!

Hooray ninth's back! Cool!

Well!...if it isn't El Sid...returned from his negligee night-flight and conquest of the Boorish Moors!
Loyal looner's have kept faith with risque' jibe and spar, your legacy thread whilst thou lust doth GAR.
Me thinks you hath pleasurably enjoyed shirl surely a nice one with a view!

Buenos El Campeador! ~ I am the Zebra!
~ another pitifully striped plagiarizer come-laud, phonetically challenged Vedantic butcher, and socially irreverent misfit mutant newbie!

EDIT: come-laud cum-loud [I think! --hell I dunno! It's late..and at my age, I'd be lucky to be able to at all!

Ok, I have read, and re-read your last post Zebra and can honestly say that Zebra-speak is the most confusing text I have seen since early Japanese translations to English of manuals for electronic gadgets.

I think that is a compliment

ChooChoo?...now you've got me laughing pretty doggone hard!!!!!! [really was funny ] Blessings on you for THAT !
Sheesh! Am I that ancient?? El Cid? ->Moors? Man!-I'm really embarrassed now!

Maybe its cuz I been read'n a little too far back in this Epic-thread, and all that funny-insanity is still fresh on me mind! -- Ok..I'll do better to clean up my dribbles!



...but i'm gonna take it as a compliment anyway!

OMG Zeb. I coitinally hope yeave not ben reachin bak to da oily daes O' dis tread! T'would be ennae to drive a sane bloke insane in da membrane!
Dis tread hae all boot dis integrated ter a bunch O meaninless ramblin anyhow.
Spercially since da Choo-Meister hae not been fortcomin wit da details O' da rubber room E been farcibly stayin in fer da parst coupla weaks.

Choo, Donde esta Senorita Britney?

Hey boys how's it goin???

First of all..NINTH - truly awesome pic (tell me the truth...that's you two isn't it) But more importantly (and this goes for Miss S too) Are the cookies gone yet???????

Poor Choo..stuck in that lil' rubber room all by yourself Have they let you out of your restraints yet? BTW, it's because you're tryin too hard to understand Z's post...I get it tho, very good Zebra

Hi my friend Taz..how are the pantaloons holdin up? I wonder if Miss S is gonna want them back? Although I'm sure they look better on you
Did you start the new job yet? Oh almost forgot, that auction was the best thing I've ever seen! Thanks for that link, it made my day!

And for God's sake PETE...come out of hiding, quit lurking, and POST will ya? Sheesh what..you don't love us anymore??? (You can tell I feel MUCH better) Back to normal (no remarks pls) and back to work.

Hey, I'm going to Ebay Live, for sure. It's right here in my hometown this summer about 1/2 hour away...I'm so excited I can't wait!!!!!!! I wish some of you were going too...let me know if you are.

Our poor thread hasn't had much of a workout lately, we have to keep it going. I get really bummed out when it's not still right up at the top So I'll shut up for awhile now...hope everyone had a better weekend than I did

Hi there Missy M - Glad to see you back in the fray and feeling better. Glad you liked the pic. Ok, truth be told: Nope, they aint us, cuz our s**t eatin' grins is biggern' that. And as far as them thar cookies: I keep a gobblin' em up, cuz the secret ingredients have got me comin back for more. and Ima hopin they just keepa comin.

Well Zeb, you methinks correctly, 'misspellings' notwithstanding, the view has surely been pleasurably enjoyed, in fact, mighty nice indeed. And methinks you might be tryin' to fool us with that old man disguise, cuz I'm sure that was you we heard all night long in the next room.

Hey Miss M glad to see you back again. Dem Pantaloons b 'oldin up radder well. Now da red shirt, dat b a difrunt madder. Ad to crak a coopla scalawags upside dere noggins at da waterin ole de udder nite.
I did start the new job and am loving it so far.
Glad you liked the auction, I thought it was so true and to the point.
Just got this from eBay, and cannot figure out why? Are they that desperate for powersellers right now? I had not listed anything since the beginning of the year and only put 5 items on last week.

Lets start another poll, like "where on earth is Pete" or "what he could he be so ashamed about" perhaps, come on a more catchy and sufficiently embarrassing poll that he would not be able to resist replying to

Hey Shadeaux, knocking this thread into 2nd for crumbs, and we ain't seen you here for ages, sabotage

At least in the padded cell I knew I was talking to myself, or was I, Brit-any wots-er-name was supposed to be lurking in there too

Hi everybody,

Taz, something jumped out at me--unless you've sold $1000.00 a month for 3 consecutive months...well you may have gotten a phishing email. I've heard of the ones inviting you to become a PS...just be careful or we'll have to toss you into the padded cell with Choo, and I don't think you'd want that

Hey all my sweet asylum maties!

Com'on Choo, you know better than that! It was already boosted and I just replied to the post.
I thought you were escaped from th' padded cell. What'd I miss? Darn, I always miss stuff or else you'd not have trapped me with that VIP ticket! Heck, I don't even have to be in a padded cell to be talkin' to myself... shhh! Don't tell, lest they come an' take me away!!

Taz, there's somethin' else I missed - I thought the brown pants went to Zebra (or was it Jeff S?) cause they match the lawn or some goofy thing like that? I know ya had the red shirt. Either way, Miss M's right 'bout 'em lookin' better on you than me.

Miss M, sure am glad you're feelin' better! Did Ninth do us right proud with that pic or what?! lol Now don't you worry 'bout there bein' any cookie ODin' either! And I understood what Zeb said too. Choo, how'd you not follow that - and even after re-reading too? I'm shocked!

Zebra, keep 'em comin'!!! Love your posts! Oh, and I saw over there somewhere that you included me in a thanks of sorts for stuff you've learned. hmmm, dunno what in the world That could be but sure do appreciate th' kind words. Hey, I can even relate to wearin' the tall boots - whatever that was ya said a fair piece back there. Must be a Texan thang?

Sexy St. Pete, where you be man? Ya shore are missed 'round these here parts! Get yoreself on back here an' let us all know you're fairin' alright! Ya hear?

Ninth, more cookies comin' right up! Or should we make it brownies this time? Nah! How 'bout both?!

edit: Taz, I agree with Miss M. First thing I thought was a spoof email. Forward it to spoof at eBay.com and they'll tell ya real fast. That's ONE thing they do fast at least.

Well hey there Miss S!
About time you showed up LOVE the avatar...looks familiar (Long Live GAR)
Yeah I followed Zebra's post easily enough and I'm a YANKEE Choo's been in the loony bin WAY too long I guess...
I really do seriously wonder what happened to Pete ya know?? Very odd of him not to stop by...
Did you get my email??

'Bout Pete, very odd indeed. Yes, I'm worried about him.

I Love the avi too. Thanks again! Yeah! Long Live GAR
I still think Choo's outa the loony bin, 'cept for with all us here. Tell me doggone it, what'm I missin'?
I got your email and see I now have two more to go read. Will reply soon, maybe in the a.m.

Will reply soon, maybe in the a.m

I know Miss S...you've been busy, what with the cookies and brownies & all
I'm getting hungry now......

Miss M and Miss S here be da linky to prove I is parfulseller http://myworld.ebay.com/tazfrompa/
FeeBay must b realizin da par of da Taz Devil and dey want to placate Lil ole me? Truly weird. Of course I ad ter accpet it. Could b'cause Taz navergated da playgroun an helped Miss S find da landin zone radder dan da plank she were walkin afore. LOL

How bout them thar frozen ratcicles. Mighty tasty!!

Hey Taz! I forgot to ask about what sorta new pretzel shapes ya been inventin'? I reckon congrats are in order to th' parfulseller... hmmmm maybe it surely is about gettin' me outa that playground ordeal. I made sure they had your name and what ya did to help me out. Did I tell ya she also gave me an email addy to send along the info? I was hopin' it'd be gettin' into some important hands there... thinkin' in reality hah! yeh! right! Looks like maybe it really was more than a pipe dream then.

Miss M, now don't go gettin' any ideas into your head there. We're hoggin' all th' cookies 'n' brownies.

edit: Oh Ni-iinth, I've got cookies...

Want some?

Well Miss S those new pretzel shapes are rather convoluted! I spent several days last week movin the girlfriend in to my house. Her parents are really being great! Me tinks dey ave eyes fer da Mercedes? O'er me dead body I say. Keep yer bloody weenie beaters off a me gold! Even if it is only a gold SL-TreeEighty.
Well I am enjoyin me mid-life crisis N E ways.
BTW No you did not tell me about the email addy!Twas merely a joke on me be harf aboot da playground. I don't really think it means a hill O beans to FeeBay!

Well Taz, I'm sure happy for you two. Ya oughta be enjoyin' yourself, midlife crisis or no.
Yeh, I'm sure you're right, it doesn't mean a hill o' beans to effbay.

Hey, what ever happened to th' DeLorean? Did Choo get it back? Is that how he managed his escape from the loony bin?

AARRGGHHHHH!!

I forgot about those darn ratsicles! Thay're still here (hubby wrapped them in paper towels and pushed them to the back ewww)
So tomorrow I will celebrate and do the Happy Dance of Death as I finally get rid of them.

(Unless anyone wants them??)

~~I thought Taz still had the DeLorean?????

quote:

I'll do the Happy Dance with ya. But what are ya gonna do with 'em???

quote:

~~I thought Taz still had the DeLorean?????

Hah! yeh, you and I get accused of hoggin' it while playin' Thelma and Louise! Look who's Really hoggin' it now.... TAZZZZZZZ

Me tinks Zeb may ave snuck off wit da DeLorean! Runnin da blarsted ting on Equus zebra methane derivatives!

Who needs da trash converter when ya be avin Zebra Doo-Doo to power yer way!

quote:

Look who's Really hoggin' it now.... TAZZZZZZZ

Oh yeah...he's had it for a LONG time. Is it still in one piece Taz or have you been hot roddin all over the place?

And about the freezer rats Miss S...I think I'll take them out to the alley, walk down to the end of the street and put them in the neighbor's garbage can..
Unless you want them, just say the word and they're yours. Hey maybe I should auction them off on Ebay?? (kidding!)

Now Miss M, just what makes you think I'd want those ratcicles??? No way!! But thanks for askin'.

quote:

Hey maybe I should auction them off on Ebay??

Isn't that a novel idea!! Bet you'd be able to mail me that check then and have some left for yourself too!

Taz, we know you're just tryin' to get us thinkin' Zebra has the DeLorean while you're still hotroddin' around in it. Don't you try pullin' that stunt on us now! I bet your sweetie just likes it so you're not givin' it back to Choo. Bad Taz! Bad! Bad!!

edit: Do ya think that's where Pete is... waitin' on th' DeLorean? hmmmm???

OK I be avin da proof of dis!



Now take notice of da tings dat look like leaves! Dat is disguised Zebra droppins from is failed attempts at methane conversion. He put too much in and crashed er inter da paddock!

Eh Taz, you coulda photoshopped that one to make us think them thare leaf lookin' things are Zebra droppins. Huh? You did, didn't you! Zebra, com'on, fill us in here. Is this what happened?

Somebody better get this thing fixed an' get it back to Choo! He's out now ya know. He'll be passin' out ya'll some o' them VIP tickets. And no Zeb, there won't be any drinkin'. Just lostsa smoke an' squished critterss.

edit: Sayin' goodnight now. I'll be watchin' to see what happens to you guys here. Let's hope somebody does the right thing an' fixes that li'l baby up an' returns her to Choo soon. Or... Will you wind up lost in the smoke, guts aflyin' as you critters get squished to smithereens???
Sweet Dreams.

Com'on Choo, you know better than that! It was already boosted and I just replied to the post. Smile

Ahaa, my spider bait worked, been too quiet around here, just as well Zebra joined in to give Taz and I a sorting out especially when Ms M was off sick too.

But where is Pete ?

The DeLorean, goannn .... gotta kick my imagination into gear to get that fixed, personally I think Taz got carried away too much the other day and backed into it with his Merc

And why is he blaming a poor horse, he must be cuckoo everyone knows the DeLorean is a horseless carriage

quote:

Ahaa, my spider bait worked

I don't know Choo... you seem to be pretty darn good at baitin' this spyder. Can't figure it out but then some things are not for me to know.

I'd make Taz fix the DeLorean. Here he is tryin' to blame Zebra
when like you said "everyone knows the DeLorean is a horseless carriage"
Where are ya Zeb? Better get over here an' set th' record straight.
Hey, what happened to Jeff S and Kbalona? Surely ya'll didn't tire out from this thread so easily as all that! When's N due back?

Hi Shadeaux, well JeffS seems to be doing an embittered Hulk across the boards over the recent greedbay proposals (not surprisngly) and I think we are just too daft for him, probably quite childish in his view.

Still I don't care, you start off as a child, have a heavy bit of life and later with some luck you can then take some of it easy again amongst friends, face to face or preferably here with some imaginative typing, great stuff.

Kbalona, dunno, he's around but certainly not here much, come to think of it not been much happening here recently, fullstop.

Anyway enough of this I'm going off topic better start talking silliness again before my posts get pulled.

Ok, abnormal service will resume shortly

quote:

Absolutely Choo! After all, isn't this a big part of what our lives are all about? Great stuff Indeed!

Best get back to silliness lest both our posts get pulled. Now just where did ABI get off to???

My goodness gracious! Where on Earth IS everyone???
Could it be there is life away from here? Surely you jest!!!

Well I'm here my precious little eight legged jewel of the night. Never far away (lurking and skulking about as usual), and aways ready to keep you company on this currently lonely, abandoned thread. How dare our whackazoid companions get a life. Just cuz we go MIA for days at a time, don't mean they can!

Yay, I had a life today (smile)

But now I feel guilty, hehehe

This thread is as dead as my freezer rats, who incidentally, were bid a not so fond farewell today.

Made a real celebration of it!
Did my Happy Dance of Death
Lit candles, burned incense
Had an excorcism
(The oijie board told me what to do with them)

Then I scrubbed the CARP out of my freezer with bleach.

Yeah fun day

Turning over a new leaf in the book of kitchen do's and don'ts. Hope hubby got the message and made it up to you on Valentines Day. If not, he may need a whackin'.

Hey Ninth,
How ya be??
Yeah he definitely needs a whackin, just for fun if nothing else
Am I going to have to get the RAID out?? Let me know now so I can be prepared

~~I can't believe I forgot it was Valentines Day yesterday!! (Obviously I got no gifts)

Hey guys just got done hitting the
button to report a spineless worm on this thread that started off by insulting Choo. Of course I jumped in to the fray. AAARGH Did nae e'en need me red shirt which Miss S left I in charge O'. https://community.auctiva.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8386099...381097172#3381097172
Some people can be such idiots!
Glad to hear the rats are gome Miss M. Has the freezer been thoroughly sanitized?

Well just commented on the nasty odour on the thread of the day, best just let the odour disperse now, hang on all this startd after the raticles were disposed of, ooh err, was there any connection, Ms M did you dispose of them or did they mutate

Almost thought WWIII was about to break out there. The way I sees it, anybody who starts a thread by going off like an atomic bomb shouldn't be surprised if they get nuked in return. Besides, the crowd needs to be electrified now and then, do they not?

Hi gang! -- Finally snagged a few blessed moments to peek in on the board, but this will have to be short. Hoping I can take a break later this evening and catch up on all the fun!

Did a real quick scan-over just now on a couple threads outside the Lounge! Choo.. Apologies and solace to you my friend! On behalf of the civilized world... I offer sincerest regrets
for the occasional crude & wimpy turkey-wad idiots; one of which you apparently stumbled across today.
They're supposed to stay put, and not stray from the stinky black goo from whence they hatch. I think I even glimpsed Taz, our Sentry-at-Arms valiantly attempting to squash that malodorous vermin! Attaboy Taz!..sic'm !!! ((i'll have a word with you later. "..disguised zebra-droppings"...Indeed! ))

On a lighter note... Well Hello there Shadeaux! Yes my sweet..you are a doll in my eyes! I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm whining...but somehow I seem to keep missing out on your cookies! (aww..settle down ninth!.. )

Ahhh yes! Missy-M! A soothing sight for sore eyes! ~ It's sooo good to see you feeling better and back at 'em! I really missed those tantalizing eyes of yours! (enough to make a grown zebra's udder shudder! ) And what's this?? No Valentines????
Well we shall NOT have any of that!! Nosireee! -- Let's see if we can rustle-up something to make it better!!

Tipp'n my hat to everyone else too! -- sorry for the quick in & out! Be back for more of ya'lls antics asap!

zeb

Ahhh Zebra, you're a silver tongued devil aren't ya (swoon) Whatcha think Miss S??? I'm sure you agree. Still waitin for my Valentine, Z....

Boy somebody needs a whackin and for once it's NOT ninth..Poor ninth has been whacked enough (maybe)

Miss S, I just saw you around here where are ya??

Hi Miss M. I'm right here.
Awww Zebra *blush* Silver tongued devil indeed! Tryin' to get Ninth's cookies! My goodness, and ya didn't even give Miss M and me a Valentine...

Choo, ya know how much you're appreciated. Glad ya didn't let that snarky ole bu** get to ya. Way ta go Taz! You go Man!

Oh Nii-inth, my sweet li'l fly... I've got brownies!

Ewwwwwwww. You really know how to make a lurker 'expose' himself. Ok, Zeb, for tryin' to steal my cookies, I'm callin' my fly mates. A thousand flies are about to buzz up your bu**.

Oh my! Here we go my adorable creature of th' night... Are you gonna 'expose' those gorgeous wings that you sweep me off my feet and carry me away on... or what?

Uh-oh poor Zeb. Methinks Miss M better get th' Raid ready... that's a mighty lot o' flies there fixin' ta be after th' Zebra Doo-Doo!

quote:

Are you gonna 'expose' those gorgeous wings that you sweep me off my feet and carry me away on... or what?

What.

Ok I caught Ya'll Red-Handed this time!
Just cuz I didn't make it back before the sand-man snooked up on me (zzzZ).. Don't mean my radar-ears quit work'n!!
I could hear ya'll carry'n on about pesky horse-flies and such. But hold on there Ninth! ~ yer all wet bout me gett'n in yer cookie jar!! ((come to think of it...ninth looks kinda wet all the time!~eh? )) ~ Maybe ya' oughta' keep a good eye on them hot brownies tho! No telling how many other bushwackers might be lurking about!

Aww Heck! I ain't gonna' try and cover-up no colors on my hide! Missy's really the apple of my eye! (no~not that apple dear! ) Yepper' dats right! She deserves a real sweet Valentine Card so she's gonna' git one from ME! (Missy I'm sorry its a tad late...but I had to gallop all the way into the big city just so's to find you the right one. ) I've only got eyes for You ya' know!!

So.. Shadeaux, you and lather-wings can jest cool off a skosh..(if'n that's possible?) cuz Missy forgot it were Valentines Day..and there's no excuse for that on my watch! {{ ..ya' know whut ninth?...you always looked a little frothy too! prolly toooo many cookies!~huh? }}

Well I figger Taz and ChooChoo are gonna' barge in here before long and steal my thunder (again).. so Missy before that happens..whaddya' say we duck out the back while no one's looking!!? I got your Valentine right around the corner here. ((don't nobody else peek neither! ))!

Hey Missssy!

Be my VALENTINE ! ????




Zeb

G'morning everybody,

Awww Zebra I love the card, you made my day
But where are my presents??? (kidding)

Oh boy, Miss S and ninth are dangerous when they're both here together

I hope you all are around later (REALLY later) when I get home from work

OH NO...now Choo has ESP too! Are you reading my mind right now?? Then you already know I miss picking on you But wait til later...

quote:

Are you reading my mind right now??

Oh yes, I'm a waiting

YES I am (Choo, you're terrible..LOL)
But I'm going to work now, so I'll be picking on you later

Maybe ya' oughta' keep a good eye on them hot brownies tho! No telling how many other bushwackers might be lurking about!
..ya' know whut ninth?...you always looked a little frothy too! prolly toooo many cookies!~huh?

Zeb, don't you worry yerself none. I got me suspicious fly eyeballs (about 500 of um) zeroed in on them brownies, and the other 500 watchin out for them bushwackers, includin a certain funny lookin horse. And righty ya are bout the frothy bit - them secret cookie ingredients can make ya look like a good pint with a overflowing head on it.

Well, I see the infamous thread endures!!
Am back from a couple of weeks + in sunny Los Cabos.......can't say I missed the weather here. Had snow when I left...it's still cool here, but not like when I left.
I suppose there's not much happening right??? Well, I have re-opened my store so must get to work. Seems like I'll never get caught up.
Will try to check the Lounge in the wee morning hours when the folks to my East are up! Wow late!!!

How could Zeb get the DeLorean when yous all said I couldn't have it? Is he a theif in the night?

quote:

Is he a theif in the night?

Hi N welcome back, no I think Taz is trying to frame Zeb for a parking incident with his Merc.

Any how, zzzzzzzzzzzztime here catch up later

Well now would I do that? I am the defender of freedom and the basher of of Auctiva idiots. Gotta buy me a new shotgun. Maybe a double barrel and load er wit somw rock salt. Seems to I been seein hoof-prints in the snow around me garage of late. Metinks Zeb already got me silver (DeLorean) and now e's a tryin fer me gold (Mercedes)
An ter make nadders woise e be tryin for Miss M now.
Rats on a Valentines card wit a Zebra skin rug. Wot is dis dat be appenin 'ere.
I'll be gettin me pint O rum for da night and widenin da plank. So da Zebra can walk da plank err face da cosequences of is actions.
I know Miss M it is dem adorable eyes dat be drivin im nuts.

Well Howdy there 'N' glad to have you back safe-n-sound. Pull up a chair! I was just going over my notes and gettin' some linguistic pointers from Ninth.

quote:

And righty ya are bout the frothy bit - them secret cookie ingredients can make ya look like a good pint with a overflowing head on it. Big Grin

Yeowwza ~ Ninth !!!!! -- Your 'heady' choice of words for making a frothy pintle point about secret cookie ingredients...
Far out-trumps my archaic notions for getting a pretty Philly to cum home. I might need to quit bating my masterful techniques for gynerating a frenzy.. as it would be semen' entirely lame and old-fashioned in this day and time. Yes, methinks the polished triple-entendre is probably far too convulvaluted such that it now only lays before me my awaiting twomb; sorrowfully unrecognized for its heavenly fulfilling yet neglected promise of relief.

Alas, my previous subtle-tongue style of pitching plea, thru cunning-linguistics no longer serves strong and erect as once before, for it doth fail to inspire the fair maidens' nod in favor of pressing to home my earnest desires; despite such aching need for base and fruitful plate. I just may have trod the long-winded trail to finally have become an out of date nun-sequitur.



Any body wanna' beer?

Alas, I am afraid the Ninth must respectively bow down before the cunning-linguistics so masterfully bated in so strong and erect a manner as the above elucidation. I'm afraid such a stunning display of polished triple-entendre is quite beyond the meager talents of a frothy hack-n-slash double-entendre mind more suited to a game of whack-a-mole.

Despair not bud Zeb, for your heart-rending introspection, and resulting self-correction to a more direct form of flirtatious banter is sure to result in the relief you so achingly seek.

Thanks for the beer (got a great head). O, an I'sa callin' off da fly mates, yer bu** is safe fer now.

Taz ole' boy?...I been meaning to speak to you about the Merc of your'n. Nice Ride the 380? --Yr?

Nevermind mind my private card to Missy! - I wanted to cheer her up! So there! Put away yer Pea-shooter! Whacha been doin' lately?.... do I get this right? - you bust heads for money from time to time? You Brute!
I had nuth'n to do with the DeLorean! -- you sure you didn't just maybe pass some troglodyte-gas while standing a tad too close or sump'n?
Anyway...I think ya really oughta pass it over to 'N' fer a bit. He was definitely in front of me!

ChooChoooooo? You Must be chugg'n along by now? What's the matter? Haven't you ever witnessed the next morning's aftermath of a beer-party a la Poker Game which got outta' hand a little? Happens down here at the University of Texas all the time! No biggie. Like you said..lighthearted stimulating entertainment aside from shop-talk. Oh yeah, sorry..I forgot again!! --You must be well conditioned already from all the needles, whackins, and group-rates for snipe hunt'n and
cow-tipp'n parties. Oh well...In any case just Watch yer step please!

I am addicted to summer.

Wow Ms M, you actually get enough sunshine to get addicted to it, lucky you

Actually Zebra I wasn't referring to stripy droppings although there seems to be plenty go around, I was referring to a not so pleasant odour from a stroppy poster that Taz and I were have a do with last week.

But if the carp fits

And me, ungover, can't even afford the letters to spell it let alone get one, I always 'look' this way

BTW - where has my morning read gone these days, lot of slacking states side lately

ChooChoo.. Funny how it is you would mention that "stroppy poster".. because I was thinking of him as well as a number of other folks, as I continue to digest the long history of postings out on the boards. Clearly, confused anxiety attends many who come to the community seeking support, consolation, solutions, and encouragements from those having tread before them. Their trials and tribulations are invaluable for helping to cultivate my own growth and understanding for a variety of reasons.

Not that anyone cares much now, but many years ago there was this interesting fellow who happened to just 'show-up' with some pretty good ideas about different ways to look at things in life. Although it's been over two decades or more since his contributions were in vogue, there's still a lot to be said for many of his keen insights. Historically, every society has been known to toss at least a few thorns of derision upon the path of progressive innovators, from whatever quarter they may emerge; and likewise Werner Erhard certainly was duly buffeted by his own detractors during and after his day. I'd have to dispute being considered an 'Est' cult-groupee or disciple, but such exposure inspired me to believe that every experience we encounter... contains somewhere within it an essential 'diamond' of insight which is fundamentally irreplaceable.

Here are a few quote-condensed ideas I recall from back then.. and offer them up now for what they might possibly be worth to you or anyone else at this juncture. My best wishes for you this evening. May you also find this nicely supplements your morning read.

" Love is a function of communication; Health is a function of participation; Self expression is a function of responsibility. "

" Create your future from your future not your past. "

and one of my long-time favorites still remains...

" It's easier to ride the horse in the direction that it's going. "



Missy..Unseasonably warm here now. Even Spooky!.. especially for the week coming.

oooooooo!! I can feel it coming already! I think Taz is gittn' ready to lob a grenade! ~ betcha it'll be sorta graphic!

Quite true Choo my GF moved in with me recently and I also started the new job. Swing shift is something new to me and I am trying to get use to it.
Also trying to find the time to devote to GF and co-ordinate our schedules somewhat.
I have my hands quite full at the moment. Not complaining mind you!
Thankfully GF's parents are being very supportive and did not threaten to shoot me!LOL
Must say since we started dating I do feel about 10 years younger. (If only I was! Then I would at least be younger than her parents.) Oh well I've always been one to grab life by the horns.

It certainly does seem the thread is gasping for air of late! Well it is over 3 months old now!

Zeb sorry I missed the poker and beer party! Maybe next time.
Will talk to all you people later.

OH my, I missed a lot.
Suffice to say the weather was beautiful and our 30-40 degree weather is not helping my new tan....two weeks of sun is not enough!

All this talk.....wow! I start to think I know what ye all are saying and then bam! someone new pops up with another dialect!

I am still trying to catch up my store from being gone. Works ok, as far as I know.

There is so much politicing going on everywhere I think I shall stay in my shell for a few more days and see what happened when I come out....thars national politicking, ebay politicking, our travel forum politicking...me thinks it's reminiscent of the old days....yep I'm old enough to remember the middle class mass and our great will to overcome the oppression and yes I took part in it. Now I don't know where to put my energy. Gonna take a breather and figger it out.
Maybe I'll just read this thread, that will keep me busy til the next week passes.
Hey if anyone has a cute turtle avatar, I want one! I never have found a really cute one. I like to think I only come out when it's safe....not always true, I get a little reactive at times.....but a turtle I be!

Something along this line N?

Well now, just what oughta be done about that??? Hmmmm???

You guys tell Ninth an' me to cool off, threaten us with Raid an' th' hose... who knows what all. Goodness! What's a poor spyder to do!
Eh, I'll jus' keep after my sweet li'l fly an' temptin' 'im with cookies. Course that'll hafta mean poppin' in here occasionally to get all yorn danders up (won't say panties in a wad lessin' th' fellers're crossdressin'! ).

Zeb, I understand ya threw a great party. Choo talkin' 'bout all the pooh... now we know why we wear them tall boots, yes?

Where the heck is Pete? We miss ya!!!

Hey there 'N' ! --- a turtle eh? Now I'm pretty sure that would have to be a 'custom-made' saddle! ~ micro-saddlebags & Xtra-short stirrups too!

Came in this even'n from replanting about a gazillion tomato plants! Gaww! Gonna' make some SERIOUS batches o' picante sauce after a while. The days are gittn' noticeably longer now, and with the *unusually* mild winter we've had.. our peach trees are FULL of blossoms!! Too bad cuz there's bound to be another freeze coming. -- has happened many times before. And isn't there any body on the planet besides me who likes Okra?? Prolly not! I swear it now..Nuth'n beats hot fried Okra & a Chicken-Fried steak w/gravy!

So Taz is shacked up now with his superior officer! Hmmm.. that'll probably put a slight crimp in your night-life eligibility..yep! Yer also gonna hafta' pick up yer dirty socks & undies more often now.~ I GuarAWNTEE it ole boy! -- Yeah..I was married once upon a (very strange) time. Turns out I were a heap more married than She were too!! -- Better g'won and buckle-up yer seat belt now Tazzy-boy. Extra KP-duty and ya best mind the coy-humor gutterball-remarks... RAPIDS Ahead !! Where's that grenade I was pick'n up on? My guess is yer Filly put it away cuz she don't care for ya leaving your nick-nacks and toys out on the coffee table no more. Did you stuff yer battle-axe way back in the utility-room closet yet?? ((Yer better git yer jabs in now N..while he's still in a daze and stalled on the cattle-chute! )) I do kinda' like the turtle avi tho Taz..quite Cute I must admit! -- I'm just itch'n to see what a 'domesticated' tazzy-devil avatar looks like though!! Tickles my nickel just thinking about it!!

Politicks! arrgh!! Yer right about that N! -- They've stomped all over my favorite Andy Griffith and Leave-it-Beaver re-runs now with the dang silly duh-baits and town-stump'n turkey-dance stuff plugging up the airwaves! I believe BillHillyGirl and BamBam are even gonna' invade Austin fer another jabber-hockey spittn-contest day after tomorrow. I'll have to sit that one out though! I'm thinking of get'n outta dodge again soon and was toying with the idea of maybe heading south. Ahh..Costa Rica! Now there's a pretty place! Still a bit too chilly here to git out on the water-skis (we got a nice lake here).. but maybe in another month or so.

ChooChoo my buddy...I can see you must've certainly hit the dream-stream some time ago! Unless of course, you're really a drag-queen Vampire! If that be the case...you'd surely be out right about now stealthing around in the nearly-full moon shadows! Bit o' advice pal... leave the push bike at home tonite....them lamp posts are especially magnetic on a full moon! Forget the roller-skates too! -- I believe Missy's got a nice apple for ya' if you happen to catch a case of the midnight looney munchies! Which reminds me...It's a rare thing to catch...but can anyone guess whut the horses do out in the back pasture only on full moons??

Speak'n of Missy...Lovey~If you think yer addicted to summer now (living in Chi Town)...then you'd have a full blown double-dipped over-dose of climatic-euphoria if'n ya'll ever came round here in the late spring! I've lived all over the states from coast to coast and in some truly pretty country..but I didn't really know where my home was...till I wound up here! Take my word for it...Twas a helluva shift from the wild-jungle outskirts of Washington DC.

Well I guess I'll let ya'll have some rest now. I gotta' drag out the gittar and crank up some comfortably-numb pink-floyd tonite before have'n to shake-a-leg tomorrow morning. Gonna' pick up my momma..and take 'er down to da' bank and WallyWorld for a little 20-mile therapeutic shopping-stroll exercise; yet another all American gluttonoid pastime! I've banned her from eBay already!!

Ciao!

Wait a minute! .Hold up Hoss! I forgot something!! -- I been meaning to ask if anyone has ever found out from the wait-staff 'round here....COULD WE BE ALLOWED MAYBE... just a C_o_u_p_l_e more different smilies to work with??

EDIT: Shadeaux.. ya slipped yer post in on me while I was peck'n mine out and weren't looking! You're a Spy-slyder you are!
((awww.. go ahead an' say panties-in-a-wad... shivers me tail hairs just fine! ))

Hey everybody! (or whoever's left..not many of us around anymore) Not even me and I'm a founding member

Zebra you're SO talkative lately That's a GOOD thing! Since we've all cut back on our postings poor Choo is stuck reading the newspaper now in the mornings instead of our silliness. (We know you miss us Choo!)

Well I'm outta here for now just wanted to say HI and hope everyone has a great day

Til later~~~

EDIT - almost forgot Z...Pink Floyd fan here too, crank it!

Yes we ARE very somber aren't we?? I think everyone is bummed out about all the new ebay policy changes (geez I'm sick of it already)

So instead lets party! I'm waiting for you to come up with some 'wierd news' (wonder what that means) And in the meantime, I found a pic of Choo...he won't be reading the newspaper tomorrow morning he'll be reading this and I'll be in BIG trouble
Sorry CCG I just couldn't resist Still friends?

I'll say you are the expression may be right but I've got a lot more hair than that

Back later, grrrrr

Choo...on a side note I wanted to ask you if you're having any luck on other selling venues?? Or is it too early to tell?

well.... I dunno 'N'. ~ No disrespect to Missy but I'd be a little careful bout what she offers ya'. Her offerings can have a little "bite" to it!

" Rare Four-eyed Turtle Hatches At The Tennessee Aquarium: Endangered Hatchling May Represent A First In North America"

ScienceDaily (Jun. 19, 2007) — A rare Beal’s four-eyed turtle recently hatched at the Tennessee Aquarium. According to aquarium herpetologist Enrico Walder this tiny turtle should be treated as big news. “According to records this species of turtle can only be seen at three North American zoos or aquariums, and is listed as an endangered species.



So you might wanna' consider the overall implications.




But then again, maybe not. Your choice I suppose!

Hey, in my own defense, you all know my bite is worse than my bark (or is that the other way around? Dunno)
But I DO like your picture Zebra...and where is Choo? I expected more retaliation from him than just "I have more hair than that"

See you all later~~

By the way Missy... (and quickly since i've gotta' take off in a minute) as long as we're on the subject of avatars...

Since you've earned the esteemed status of having become such an 'Elite' poster-girl presence...
Perhaps you'd consider a little offering from the zebra (no bite intended ~ and I'll scale it down if needs be)




Consider it a belated 'Valentine Gift'...cuz as I said before.... "I've only got Eyes for You!".

whoa!!! that is cool!!!!!!!!
the eyes I mean. The 4 eyed turtle might work, it has a double meaning perhaps......

Well funnily enough the first two items to sell were ones repeatedly listed on greedbay without any takers, so that is rather good especially as they only charge for a FVF, no basic, listing fees, store fees or subscription fees.

No point in listing as auction items on there because the number of visitors are so low, seems common with at least 5 or 6 UK sites I have examined with active listing countsof 100k or less. (Microscopic copmared with greedbay's 15m)

But seeing as these items rarely fetch more than the minimal start price of 99p no problem, put on greedbay couple of times then move to BIN type on the other site with free autorelist until they sell or rot

I virtually have my category of items to myself at the moment and meanwhile place nominal listings on greedbay


Ooh those eyes from Zebra, spooky especially as not used to them moving,

quote:

I expected more retaliation from him than just "I have more hair than that"

As governor Arnie would say "I'll be back !"

That's great Choo..I listed one or two things on iOffer and Bidville, so far no action Didn't really expect much tho so it doesn't bother me that much. At least you sold some stuff
uh-oh.."I'll be back" huh?? And then what? Are ya gonna hit me with your newspaper
Maybe I should go & hide now...you'll never find me (hopefully you don't have a hammer)

And Zebra - you're just a big sweetie aren't ya? Quit blushing now I LOVE the eyes, I changed my avatar I hope it will work. I've used gifs before and they never actually moved, but I'm computer challenged so I must have done something wrong...
OK gonna post this & see if my eyes blink, be back later..

BTW Choo I'm wearing my bulletproof vest and helmet, take your best shot (KIDDING! I'm actually hiding behind the couch, HA)

EDIT - Yay they blink, thanks Zeb! Doesn't take much to make me happy does it

Your eyes are great!!! That is so neat!!!

quote:

Are ya gonna hit me with your newspaper

Yep, a good whackin with a wet newspaper

Hah! Now you're talkin' Choo! Miss M needs a good whackin', wouldn't ya say? I'd've chosen a wet noodle.

Here's a bit of int'ristin' news. Miss M, makes me think of th' rubber chickens.
Does It Come in Pink or Blue?

N, I've been lookin' for that avi for ya. Turtles sure don't come a dime a dozen, do they?

edit: Ohhhh Ni-iiinth, got some chicken that smells like dog pooh for ya! Or maybe it's Zebra pooh!
