PAGE FOUR DANCE!!

[bk]

Had a lovelier than lovely telephonic conversation with our very own Nick Redman - I'll go visit him next Thursday.

[bk]

Page four?  Really?

[John G.]

And the ice cream freezer in the cafeteria is empty! How dare they not refill that?

I'd file a Paypal dispute if I were you.

I just may have to do that.

Hope he's doing better. I just started watching Peckinpah's Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, which features Nick on the commentary. Haven't seen this movie before but, in true Peckinpah fashion, half of the Old West has been shot in the first 15 minutes.

MOVING VIBES FOR DR RON!

~~~Ditto!!~~~

Tritto!

You have an ice cream freezer at work!  Do they normally stock it with good ice cream?

They stock it with everything from ice cream sandwiches and drumsticks to pints of Haagen-Dazs and Edy's chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. It's part of the cafeteria/food services program at the office. They're pretty good. I generally get a decent salad from the salad bar, though I don't care for the hot food that they cook.

Really. Page four.

If you live off of the river near the fire this is what you do for entertainment these days.

That's beautiful and scary at the same time.

[John G.]

My day actually got worse before it got better. I didn't get out of work until 7 p.m. and I spilled coffee in my new car on the way home.

The good thing is that a freelance check was in the mail.

[John G.]

Gratuitous post No. 100.

From the ridiculous to the sublime.

[Jrand73]

I want a check.

Would you eat a whole pint of ice cream

Getting out coffee stain vibes for DR John.

Congrats on the check.

I would eat it in a box. I probably wouldn't eat it with lox
I would eat it at my desk. I would eat it with Tex-Mex. (False rhyme, I know. I ain't Fred.)
I would eat it with a spoon. I eat it with a spork.
I would eat it under the moon. I would eat it with some pork.
Yes, Jane. I would eat a pint. All by my happy little self.

And I have done so.

[John G.]

I have been listening to a recording of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. I learned a new word today and it seemed to describe most of the day: excrementitious.

It's just as shitty as it sounds.

[John G.]

Pardon my French.

[John G.]

I want a check.

I wish I could share. This one almost covers the monthly car payment.

[John G.]

Hello, 1 guest!

[John G.]

What's your favorite excrementitious euphemism?

[Jennifer]

DR elmore I hope you and Randy are soon feeling better.

Same!

[Jennifer]

Amazing sunny hot weather this week (and for the rest of the week)!

[FJL]

Wasn't there a song "Who put the Hog in Haagen-Dazs?"

I think I heard it on a sitcom.

That's sounds funny.

[George]

And on that note (F#), I'm going home.  I got to work a little late and am leaving late enough that I got all my time in for today.

Be back later.

[FJL]

What's your favorite excrementitious euphemism?

John G - I think we may be on the same wavelength.  I just put this parody up (because of the review of the play "F***ing A"

Tune of Anything Goes
 
In Grandma’s days, the use of cussing
Would get the wrong kind of fussing
And plays would close –  Now everyone goes
 
In years gone by, they’d even skewer
That word for dung or manure
By theater pros – Now everyone goes
 
Back then when you’d write a play
That was quite a play,
What you’d name the play
Made folks claim the play
Was just not a play
That was that hot a play
And business got the slows   
 
But nowadays, press gets mistreated
When expletives get deleted
From names of shows – And everyone goes!
