Mousoleum – $7000
Mousoleum pair head to head chapel area near bird sanctuary, level 4. Regularly $8450.
Who’s the owner of the plot that’s made for you and me?
M-i-c, k-e-y, M-o-u-s…. er….oleum!
Tiny little headstones are as welcome as can be!
M-i-c, k-e-y, M-o-u-s – oleum!
Mouseoleum! (Donald Duck… er … Sanctuary!) Mouseoleum! (Duck Sanctuary!)
I know, I know. I’m going to hell.
Thanks, Mark!
Want a Not.A.Lion t-shirt AND a Llama-nun's Prayer mug? How about a Cat Math mousepad? Of course you do!
All are now available as t-shirts and other things! (The llamanun mugs contain the YSaC group prayer on the back.)

And the flooring is easy-care lime-oleum. I used to have lime-oleum flooring in my kitchen and it always smelled fresh.
Good morning, Grampdaddy! Is the coffee ready to slice?
Absolutely! Would you like one or two slices, buttered, margarined, or marmaladed? We also have a fine collection of nuts around here somewhere – I’m sure they will turn up shortly.
Buttered and marmaladed, please! It’s going to be a busy day.
Did somebody call?
I have the butter!
I thought we threw out all the margarine in the Snark Lounge?
Mousoleum? Exactly how many mouse skins does it take to cover the average kitchen floor?
AWW! this inside joke sounds fun! i want in…..
Now it’s time to say goodbye
To all the folks who died
We’ll stuff them in the Mousoleum,
And then we go get fried!
YSaC goes to hell, takes over, much better eternity. Hooray!
Sound like a game plan Windrose–I’ll get my torch and pitchfork for the uprising angry mob.
I’ll go wherever YSaC goes, even to hell!
As long as we don’t have to change planes in Atlanta, I’m there!
I’ll bring my Snuggie.
Considering she said we’re going to hell, Atlanta-Hartsfield Airport may be the final destination.
I always thought hell was the international transfer holding pen at LAX. Hopeless, cheerless place, and they invariably shut the shops about half an hour after you arrive for your 6-hour ‘layover’. Best/worst time was on a choir trip to the UK. Thirty bored fifteen-year-old girls with nothing to eat or drink (not even vending machines? Seriously?) and no shops to browse = trouble. Luckily our chorale teacher was kinda awesome so we ended up singing for a goodly portion of it to entertain/torture the other passengers.
Honestly, all of our airports are like that. And I’m jealous, the most international place our choir went was Toronto, on a school bus for six hours.
Charles de Gaulle was way worse than anything I’ve seen here. It was so dull. It was like the anti-Paris.
Why do you need a Snuggie in hell?
I nominate ‘Snuggie in Hell’ as band name of the day.
I see your “Snuggie in Hell” and raise you one “Snuggie of Hell.”
Hit song “Hot Damn!”
According to Norse mythology, Hel has frozen over.
DC, you do seem to be warm enough. Possibly even seriously hot!
Oooh, I’m in Atlanta. Come see me when you don’t catch a connecting flight!
R..I…P……

Pee you real soon!
Noooooo!
Zomb-pees?
I’m fairly certain if he gets to be next to Annette, Grampfaddy will take it!
Manda, I find it interesting that you can’t spell daddy correctly this morning. 8)
Ugh. My phone likes to think it knows what I want it to say. It is wrong.
And yes – day two of extra baby here for the weekend. Brain fried.
Wait…”extra” baby? What happened, they toss another one in with your McDonald’s order? I usually love it when I get an extra freebie….not so sure about this, though.
That pesky binary fission strikes again, pretty soon you’ll have babbies all over the palce!
President Kennedy was the fastest random speaker in the world with upwards of 350 words per minute.
I thought you might have been implying that dear old dad has been packing on the pounds.
Yes, now with Bonus Baby!
I watch a little 4-month old a couple of days a week.His mom is a nurse and is working this weekend. Usually one of her sisters takes him on weekends if she’s working but one is out of town and the other is sick so TA-DAAAH! Bonus baby!
Who you callin’ a ‘faddy?
You’re so totally last year! Everyone has moved on to Pillow Pets and silly bands! I hear moon rocks and shag carpet are coming back too.
What are Pillow Pets? I know about the rubber band bracelet things, they were popular in school when it was near the end of the year (note I was in HIGH school….why were they popular?!).
And – No, not next to Annette. As I remember, she had very pointy shoulder-knees. Of course, in the 1950’s, every female had pointy shoulder-knees…..
That was to fend off unwanted, but not considered basis for harassment, shoulder knee groping.
“Come near MY sweater hams, will you? Feel pointy polyester, cad!”
“Sweater Hams” – gives a whole new meaning to ‘HamCan’.
Can you get DD HamCans?
Deja vu or Alzheimer’s?
Ooops, bad joke…Sorry Gramp and Manda 🙁
I’ll blame it on only one slice of coffee so far this morning.
P.S. We did cover Meredith’s sweater hams with HamCans before 😀
I saw nothing wrong w/ the joke, Hammy.
It was the Alzheimer’s bit, Gramp mentioned a couple days ago that his Mother suffered from it.
Oh Hammy, no apology necessary. If we hadn’t made a million jokes along the way we never would have made it through that. Coping with horrible diseases requires massive amounts of good (and occasionally tasteless) humor.
I don’t really have sweater hams. More like sweater muffins. Costco muffins, but still.
With chocolate chips?
You might need to see the doctor if your sweater muffins have chocolate chips.
A Choctologist?
I don’t have chocolate chips IN my sweater muffins, but I could put chocolate chips on…
*ahem*
Never mind.
Seriously Hammy – no problem with the Alzheimer’s joke(s). Been there, done that, and have definitely said/told far worse jokes about it. 🙂
I must have been away during the sweater hams conversation – I am sure I would have remembered that.
I LOVE chocolate chip sweater muffins, especially when they’re warm and the chips are all melty – make a wonderful bedtime snack.
Alzheimer’s jokes?
What Alzheimer’s joke’s?
Where am I?
Hammy, you are in a hand basket. And you are in charge of the AC.
Is Helena in here with me?
Level four? Level four what?
“I attack with level four bird sanctuary!”
Yeah, that was dumb.
I defend with level four guano bomb.
UNFAIR! You have a never-ending supply…

CHRISTINA counter attacks with SQUIRREL.
SQUIRREL throws BEZERKER ACORNS.
Are you using the “Full Squirrel” or just the squirrel costume?
I think I saw The Full Squirrel. That was the movie about the down-on-their-luck but lovable furries that decide to do a burlesque show, right?
I saw Full Metal Squirrel. “Lemme see your war face!”
That came out about the same time as “Apoconuts Now”, didn’t it. Especially liked the helicopter scene at the very beginning.
“Full Metal Squirrel”
Is that an Elrick Bros. spin-off?
Elrick Bros.? I don’t know who that is.
And I’m thinking more along the lines of a Full Metal Alchemist spoof.
I will now be waiting for some of you…errr….more mature commenters to question me about what the heck I’m going on about, and why I don’t know who the Elrick Bros. are.
Oops, should read “Elric” as in Edward and Alphonse Elric. -of Full Metal Alchemist.
I love the smell of [*/insert name of nut-based incendiary material*/] in the morning!
Nitroglycerin is made from peanuts, I’m told.
I’m looking that up…..Yup, he’s right.*
*I actually can’t tell; anyone mind translating wikipedia’s page on nitroglycerin?
Translating it into Pirate-speak?
I want to remember peanut shells were part of Al Nobel’s first patent. But I could be wrong, cellulose to know.
Cap, MINGOS! 8)
…am envisioning a cool new comic series, “The Littlest Baritone Discovers Nitroglycerin”. In it, Astro and Laurel are BFFs who (wearing their band uniforms constantly, natch) save the world in every episode by inventing new and cool chemical formulae for substances which have extremely helpful medical applications in small doses, but cause Earth Shattering Kabooms in larger doses. And Adam West plays the mayor.
And, right now, somewhere in the NSA, monitoring systems are locked onto YSaC – tinfoil beanies, NOW! Everyone!
As though I am EVER in YSaC without my tinfoil beanie.
Those level four sanctuaries are tricky unless you have a level five BB gun and invested enough levels in Stealth.
I just imagine a bird sanctuary full of hawks attacking a mousoleum. That sounds like a blood bath that may require even more burial ground.
I was more thinking about a mausoleum filled with mice and bird droppings because of the bird sanctuary.
**Insert Tippi Hedren reference here.**
This makes no sense at all. Maybe I’m just still dehydrated and hypoglycemic from yesterday’s fast. But I’m assuming it’s Sparky’s fault.
It okay, AR, I’m not quite normal yet either. My band had a pep rally, then a football game, then a lock-in on Friday night, which, although fun, was rather exhausting. I didn’t get to bed until 7:30 yesterday morning, and my biological clock is still a wee bit wonky.
But I’m pretty sure it’s Sparky’s fault.
Laurel, at your age, your biological clock shouldn’t even be out of the box yet. If it starts ticking, place an ad on CL to babbyset for free and take every job that comes your way. That should set it back until after grad school at least.
You’re right, christina, it’s her circadian clock that’s wonky. And fun fact I learned this week: circadian comes from Latin “circa” = approximately + “dia” = day. The human circadian clock is actually 24.5 hours long if there is no light/dark cycle to entrain it to*.
*to which to entrain it? Are we pedantic** about that around here?
**Speaking of which, anyone seen Isaac lately??
*sigh* I’ll have to go to his blog again, remind him he has friends here. 8)
Tell him I cut him a breathing hole when I covered New England with the poncho earlier in the week. He should come thank me.
Tell him that we miss him and pfffftttt!
Seeing as my circadian rhythm is so screwy right now, you must please excuse my lack of morning brains. Or afternoon brains. Wait, what time is it right now, anyways?
Mmm…fresh scrambled brains in the morning.
Oh, we had a football game on Friday too. It was apparently broadcast on TV as part of the Great American Rivalries series. It was our first game in new uniforms, and we looked pretty impressive.

Llama-Nun: I know it’s possible to set the trigger for moderation to be three links, not two. Do we really get that much spam that uses exactly two links?
Yes.
Besides, there’s multiple things the spam filter is looking for. Links are just one of the conditions.
Those are some awesomely cool unis, Astro. Which one of the folks in the pictures is you?
This is actually last year’s band, but we weren’t wearing our uniforms Friday (we had eighth graders visiting and playing with us), but you get the idea. I’m partial to our sparkles.
Laurel, I’m getting the following:
Andie: I’m the Littlest Baritone (in height).
Astro, your hat is all spiffy and stuff!!!! 🙂
So Astro, in picture D3A_0990, are you the one on the far right?
Yes. I’m also the one in my new Gravatar, if you’ll clear your cache.
Hmm, that’s funky. Someone must have angered the internet gods.. Here’s me, from this year. Vacant expression. I has one.
Laurel, I don’t think you has a vacant expression. I think you look deceptively innocent. TOO innocent. Kinda like someone who knows what the root ingredient of nitroglycerin is, yanno? From those experiments in the basement.
Actually I think both you and Astro are adorable! And I agree with you, the sparkly baldrics are the bomb. Kind of a salute to Worf, dontcha think?
Hmm, I’ve never thought about the baldrics that way–I now have a sudden urge to speak Klingon…
Ha! Andie, I hadn’t thought of Worf before.
Laurel and Astro, you both look pretty spiffy in those uniforms. I think you have more of a “did you just say Spice Christ?” look than a vacant stare, Laurel.
Cool. Yes, I see your new avvie, and I was admiring it. If you had on a tutu, that would be only slightly cooler (and if you had a weapon that looks like a toilet plunger sticking out of your chest that would be coolest of all, but then you would probably get suspended from school).
Laurel certainly does not look the least bit Skaren
Hey, I could be! Before radiation from the Thousand Year War mutated them, Kaleds looked just like humans. [/Doctor Who corey]
Everything is always Sparky’s fault.
That includes global warming, the current economic crisis, and why I can’t find a no-chip sealant for my nails that actually works.
Oh, and why our socks keep dissappearing. Sparky’s behind that too, right?
I thought the socks were because all dryers are really portals to Narnia? That wasn’t snow on the ground by the streetlight: it was pocket lint!
When my best friend and I lived together, we firmly believed that our dryer was the other end of the portal. We would find random socks in our laundry that no one in the house had ever seen before.
SJ – try O-P-C for a chip protector.
Ummmm – Grampmommy told me about that.
Really!
I was going to recommend Seche Vite.
See, I read “chip protector” and I think of the mention of choco chip sweater muffins earlier in the thread and….well….
*snickers*
*Butterfingers*
*Mounds*
*Good ‘n’ Plenty*
Reese’s Dark
*Milkyway*
*All chocolate*
There’s too many that I like.
I’m w/ NMN. Which is almost like MnM. Are you made of chocolate??
If I were made of chocolate, I would have committed self-cannibalism LONG ago.
I’d make some comment about checking you for chocolate content, but you’re barely legal, and I’m happily married.
This makes no sense at all.
And you are surprised by that? This is YSaC (weekend addition), after all.
*Mazel Tov, AR, on your High Holy days. May they be filled with peace and joy. (and I do know I’m late!)
There’s usually some semblance of sense. I can barely figure out what Sparky is selling here, and I don’t think fixing the spelling would make much difference.
*Thanks for the good wishes, Gramps, but “mazal tov” isn’t exactly right. It’s used to mean “congratulations,” which is not really what one says on a holiday. “Shanah tovah” means happy (new) year, which is what this time of year is, and “happy holidays” works just about any time. : )
Shanah tovah, AR. Though not Jewish, I am well acquainted with this time of year. Mr. Eyebrows was the uniform present at the synagogue all day yesterday in his town. He’s done it for many years.
Shanah Tovah, AR.
This comes from a fellow Jew, even if my family doesn’t celebrate the holidays (except Hanukkah and occasionally Passover), we don’t do the kosher thing, I’m not totally sure about this “God” fellow and his motives, and we don’t go to synagogue.
But I went to pre-school at a temple and I got “a little taken off the top” as a baby, so that’s gotta count for something, right?
Oh, well. Still, not too bad for a Protestant/Catholic amalgam….. 🙂
Therefore, happy holidays, AR!
Thanks Archie.
Shanah tovah to you as well Astro.
And Gramps, no, not bad. But now you know!
Sounds like we located the source of the SWINGFORTSLIDE raven…
If it’s a pair wouldn’t that be miceoleum?
This ad makes total sense if it was posted by Amanda Tapping…
Guessing you do not mean Col. Carter.
Apparently there are no Sanctuary fans here 😉
Is Sanctuary the one on BBC, or is it on SyFy, like Haven?
http://www.sanctuaryforall.com/
I can do the 3D vector calculus of the movements of a harbor-full of ships in my head.
Sanctuary, on the other hand, leaves me sore confused.
Which is a shame, as Ms Tapping is quite a good actress.
And hot. She is my total girl-crush.
Edit: Her and Rachel Maddow. But I think having a girl-crush on Rachel Maddow is cheating, somehow.
Amanda is especially hot as Dr. Magnus on Sanctuary, could be the accent or maybe the black hair…
It is a fairly odd show though.
Actors and accents hare been confusing me of late. David Tennant has a Scot’s burr. Anna Paquin has no accent at all; but Steven Moyer is dearly from near Manchester. Go figure.
My flat was watching an interview with Miss Paquin the other week and, though it’s hard to figure it out, we decided it was a (quite frankly adorable) mid-Atlantic/Kiwi hybrid, with a smidge of other accents from time to time, too. But then we all have crushes, so the adorable part wasn’t really surprising.
Crushes on dear Anna, or her husband Steven?
Eww, Anna for defs! I cannot separate SM from Bill Compton, who appears to be of the ‘vampires do not wash’ school. *shudder* Eric Northman, on the other hand… reeowww!
Well, to my ear, Steve has a Midlands burr, but I can’t tell if it’s port of the “anti – toff” deal some of the UK artiste scene were into for a while or not.
But, it’s not as striking as Tenet’s easy “middle England English” on Dr. Who.
I know there’s a moosoleum joke in there somewhere, but I’ll leave that for LRC.
AR, that would be the ad for the Louseleum – it is on the second page of CL.
“Queen to queen’s level 3.”
“Head to head chapel area near bird sanctuary, level 4.”
“The Mousoleum Gambit, Jim? Most illogical.”
*In best James Raft** voice*
“You dirty rat – when I’m through with you, there won’t be enough left to put in a Mousoleum!”
**May require Googling, batteries not included.
I am start to thinking you should just take my elebenty million doors for granted Grampdaddy.
George Raft?
1930’s and 1940’s film actor – slightly before my time.
Ah, I see what you did there. The “dirty rat” being James Cagney and the gangster persona of George Raft. As always, Grampdaddy you are miles ahead down the cleverness road. Here’s a ’34 Ford Roadster door (the perfect gangster car) just for you!
I’m just thankful that you chose a movie star from the talkies and not the silent films, Gramps.
” ”
Aine, dear, leave the nice man alone for a while, m’kay?
Windy, I forgot to sign out of the forums again 🙁
Which is probably why NMN never saw the right avatar (that’s why I check the fora right after checking yesterday’s posts, it lets me see, A, if I’m logged in, and B, with which avatar).
Mousoleum
*Anagram fun*
Use Loo Mum (What Laurelhach says to her mother after tea time)
Emulous Mo. (Wants to be like Missouri)
Oleo Sum Mu (Adds up to Greek margarine!!)
Emu Loom U.S. (Flightless bird weaves flags)
Sumo Le Mou (Pepe le Pew’s Japanese wrestling cousin)
Emulous Mo sounds like a good rapper name.
I’m Emulous Mo, I’m the dirty louse
Who put yo mama in mouseoleum
I be back fo you, but don you cry,
I can sneek into the house, noseeum!
When I have more caffeine, I can do better. Maybe.
*Throws Windrose a few gang signs and a “uh yeah! what? OKAY!”*
Mates note to have Christina removed from Watch lists…
I’ve enough German in my mix to be white (and tall) enough to avoid scrutiny at the airport, but my poor father gets the extra security screening every time. I think it’s the nose. But then he’s usually requested to take the exit row because he’s pretty muscular. I seriously don’t get airline regulations.
Capn, I don’t know how desperate you are, but please don’t be mating with notes.
Ok, after suppressing reaction of persons 1/3 my age speculating on my desperation–it would be a flaw in the handwriting recognition on this tablet for lower-case “K”
I thought you missed a comma and was notifying your buds at the TSA that I was all clear.
Wait…
Cap’n, are you usually not at a keyboard?
He says he’s using his tablet, so I guess it’s an acceptable mistake.
I’m OK with Capn mating with notes, as long as he doesn’t try to sell his AMAZING NOTES later on CL.
It’s the stylus he uses that I don’t want to see for sale on CL.
Excellent point, Grampdaddy.
That “stylus” may be hard to sell, seeing as it’s permanently attached…
If I had “pull” with t SA, cir travel would be much different.
Astro, it depends. 1st, it depends on whether my desktop is “playing pretty” with YSaC or not. 2nd, it depends on whether I feel like using the keyboard on the tablet, or not. Which often depends on how many other tabs (and where) are open. My location matters, too. If I’m out of the house, it’s easier to use this tablet as a tablet rather then ‘open’ as a laptop. At home, probably 60/40 laptop Vs. tablet.
But, the handwriting option is very cool. Excepting phonetic Spelling, or can’t /vernacular, or specialized argot. Meaning writing even pseedocode is right out. And there is no hunt-n-peck typing like Stylus, one-pick-at-a-time typing for slow. It’s slower for ALT+ characters like ALT+164 for the “n” in jalapeno (which ought have a tilde~).
But, I also have to proofread a lot more following the recognition, and after the s/w auto-completes words, too. Sometimes it is more clear, sometimes less-just like so many days ending in “y”.
New from Pronco the Mousoleum – 7000
Have a mouse problem?
Not anymore!!
With the all new Mousoleum – 7000 all your mouse problems are O.V.E.R!! Mice check in but they never leave!*
With the all new Mousoleum – 7000 mice enter and see a vintage Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em robot game where they go head to head with their friends. When they tire of this they enter the nice quiet chapel where they are lulled into a sense of security by the hypnotic chirping of birds from our all new fully self contained bird sanctuary, (Some cleaning may be required) at this point a level 4 disintegrator (Powered by illudium phosdex**) vaporizes all mice in the chapel.
The all new Mousoleum – 7000 can be yours for only three easy payments of $8450 (Some assembly is required)

Self-contained except may need cleaning, means the birds will be feeding on the mice. My first thought is kookaburras, as they love mice, yum yum, but they don’t, er, chirp. There would have to be a sound baffle device that would change the Trade Mark Kookaburra Laugh into “the hypnotic chirping of birds” and now you’re talking real money. I think you need to charge more, Hammy.
Every time I see the word Kookabura I think of a song I learned in grade school called “Kookabura Sits In The Old Gum Tree”, which now makes me think about Men at Work’s “Land Down Under” because they just lost a lawsuit where in a Canadian company accused them of ripping off the Kookabura song in that one. No joke. Maybe they should have thought of this, oh, say, 25 years ago when Men at Work were still making bank?
Um, yeah, sorry for the glimpse into my head. Have a Vegemite sammich.
Merry merry king of the bush is he…
Anyways, what the crudmuffins is a vegemite?
I remember Kookaburra!
Being not of the Anglo-Saxon persuasion, I’m really not sure, but I think it is some sort of paste-like puree of something…probably veggies if the name is accurate. You’ll have to wait for one of our resident Brits from the UK or Oceania, or ask Uncle Google.
Salt. Vegemite is pure salt with some brown gunk thrown in. It’s a secret recipe known only to the Royal Family.
EB, Vegemite is an Australian delicacy – a spread made from yeast extract. It’s very salty and strongly flavoured. There’s another version made in the UK called Marmite which is much nicer 😉
Concur with the above. More disgusting then carob-bran muffins with caraway icing. But, only barely.
See, based on the context in the song, I wasn’t sure if it was Austre-alien or Belgian. Come to think of it, I really should google the lyrics. I used to sing along when ever it was on the radio and it usually went something like:
Do you come from a land down under? Where grumble rar and rumble grumbler…
Although I did always hear the Kookaburra part and assumed it was done purposefully.
[corey] Their defence (as I understand it) was that the Kookaburra part of the tune was included deliberately, but was not a ‘substantial part’ of the work as required for copyright infringement, or, alternatively, was covered by the ‘fair use’ defence.[/corey]
[Yeast extract condiment corey]Also, Marmite and Vegemite are both pale imitations of Bovril, used to make ‘beef tea’ for invalids (no, I’m not making this up, nor is it a euphemism) and something a flatmate used to use as a hangover cure. Blech.
Plus, traditionally, Kiwis eat Marmite, while Aussies stick to Vegemite, though as with most generalisations it’s mostly hokum.[/yeast extract condiment corey]
Jen forgot one thing: all three of those taste like earwax. Yes, earwax, and yes, that’s really what they taste like. Enjoy!
Kiwis eat marmits? Are those like varmints (vermin, for those of you who don’t know)?
Marmot:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmot
I’d post a link for kiwis, but if you don’t know what those are, you don’t get the Band Camp Fruit Salad with Mangoes, Kiwis, Starfruit, and Kumquats.
Astro….I know what a marmot is. I was just kidding. And what kiwis are. Oh wait, kiwi bird, or kiwi fruit?
Kiwi bird is just mature kiwi ‘fruit’. The name is a misnomer, ‘kiwi fruit’ is actually tiny furry kiwi eggs, which is why they’re so darn difficult to get a hold of.
Jen, I’m paranoid vegetarian enough to almost believe you. Also, if you’ve never seen the Flying Kiwi cartoon on youtube, you should, it’s adorable.
Hamcam the Pronco Mousoleum sounds exactly the present I’m searching for to give to my best friend for Christmas. Is it on sale in Englandshire? I’d pay gadzillians in English dollars for it ??
I’m sure Hammy can ship to Englandshire, but there will probably a fee. Most likely Crisco.
Laurel, I’m prolly very late to this particular party, but you get elebenty brazillion doors for the coolest.avatar.ever.
Had to improve on a tutu-wearing Dalek. With marching band skills.
Thanks Andie! I drew it myself ^___^
“Bird sanctuary”= the mass of buzzards that just happen to swarm this place every time there’s a funeral.
As if I needed one, here’s another reason to prefer closed-casket funerals.
“I dreamed he got down to that place Boss Howell talked about, that Mouseville place. I dreamed there was kids, and how they laughed at his tricks! My! I dreamed those two little blonde-headed girls were there. They ‘us laughing, too. I put my arms around ’em and sat ’em on my knees, and there ‘us no blood comin’ outta their hair and they ‘us fine. We all watch Mr. Jingles roll that spool, and how we did laugh. Fit to bust, we was. ”
So disturbing.
I’ve worked this out. Sparky owns all the Phantasm movies, and is looting for away to restore interest in these jaded times.
There’s more than one? I know what I’m doing on Halloween!
Looting?*
*Yeah I know, he meant looking, but I’m a stickler for grammar….maybe that’s why I’m here so much?
Yes,” looting” ought read “looking'”
I want to remember (without resorting to IMDB) that there are 3 Phantasm movies. the flying Ball of Death just too cool to not reuse. Towards the end, though, it was just deus ex machinata of aliens needing human brain juice or some Such.
Those movies scared the crap out of me as a young’un.
The Green Mile.
Glad you clarified that, because I didn’t even pick up on it being a movie quote. I just thought the Sparky-fumes had finally gotten to him. And I thought I would never EVER ask about his dreams…EVER.
It’s not quite a direct quote, but it’s very close, which is what makes it so disturbing.
“Green Mile” still one of my favorite Hanks movies.
Ok, with punctuation this is how I read it.
Mousoleum pair, head to head, Chapel area near bird sanctuary, level 4
This makes me think it is a secret message about a fight that is about to take place. Two Mousoleum fighters, probably Billy the Exterminator and his brother Ricky, going head to head in the chapel area near the bird sanctuary. I am still puzzled by the level 4 part. The money is how much they would get if this was actually on HBO but for this venue they will take a little less since they can keep any bugs or rodents that they kill in the process of the fight. Good eatin’.
I definitely thought too much about that. The things I do to avoid writing a paper.
I kind of got that, too, but with zomb- mice fighting at a Level 4 (which has to do with what cool weapons they have and what spells they can cast). Maybe if it’s not a fight to the death (well, you know what I mean), they can then go on Quests together.
I have a pair of mousoleums. One in the garage and one behind my house, We only had to pay $150 and that includes once a month mouse removal.
Arg! Aye, maytee, it be Talk Like A Pirate Day, and every scalawag who refused to give me an Arrrr! will be walking the plank to join Davey Jones at the locker!

What in the world is that?! How you do that?????
That may possibly be the greatest thing I have eve read. As if I actually understood all of the obscure stuff we all write from time to time anyway……..
That’s one smart program. I especially like how it knows you so well, Hammy:

I hate to be a wet blanket, but it is also POW/MIA day.
I didn’t know you had to bury mice. We always.. well I say we, but it was really hubby… threw them in the back corner of the yard near the woods. Unless they were stuck on a glue trap, in which case they went into the garbage. Can you imagine some poor bird flying around with a glue trap stuck to it’s face?
Anywho, I’m willing to respectfully lay them to rest. *looks at price* Umm… how much for the cremation option instead?
About $3.00.
$2.50 for the gallon* of gasoline and $.50 for the matches.
*for optimum incineration.
Who’s in the mood for some barbecue?
Mouse kabobs!
I said “mouse barbecue” and the catulator said “mar’h meh Myrhh-m ‘rhu,” but he was enjoying the fiddling on Thistle & Shamrock, too.
Speaking of catulators, my cat has learned how to beg from the dog. Seeing how the cat, unlike the dog, can jump onto tables, this is extraordinarily annoying.
NMN – does begging from the dog do any good? Most dogs I know won’t share with cats.
I’d comment, but this post seems to be a dead end.
I’d comment about the “dead end”, but then Hammy would make a comment about my
!
Experiment One.
Huh. Guess we don’t get an end block quote. Or maybe I broke it. 8/
I concur.
Hey, christina is in the Box! I forgot to add the honorable mention to Bianchi Sound for the I saw solees comment. Ha Ha.
Holy Carp I am! Thanks!
I gotta go get punch drunk for my drunk punch on Talk Like a Pirate Day.
*squeak*
A Mousoleum is perfect for a vampire-rat… why haven’t I thought of it before?
Just think of all the room you have for your
coffinbed !OT nonsense: Husband-monkey and I went to IKEA looking for a table and came back with a new matress instead. Foam, very comfy and all the stuffing still intact. Out of curiosity, I went back to the matress post from earlier this week and yes, it’s the same matress that Spunky was trying to sell for $50. I think the extra $200 more than Spunky’s asking price was quite reasonable for the reassurance that I won’t be contracting any flesh eating viruses.
Or police investigations.
Or Colonel Mustard.
Or Maj. Malaise.
(Cannot get an alliteration for Lt.)
Lt. Lionel Ritchie?
I deny that I was in the ballroom with the candlestick, harrumph!
My sister Pam (who works in a shop) had taken me out to see the Queen. It’s the only place I’ve ever been, you know.
There is NO WAY that that isn’t a sock puppet……
Captain Corpuscle, in the blood bank, with a vampire…..
Lt. Languid?

It’s official, YSaC has stolen my brains.
Cute kitteh, AND a surprisingly adorabubble zomb-mouse-pirate (who reminds me of Dangermouse and is therefore extra awesome)??!!
I think you just won teh intertubes, FM. 😀
I think so too, plus he is experiencing defenestration of his eyeball which is also simultaneous enucleation. Zomb-mouse-pirate FTW!
Another artist and another adorable kitteh avvie, Yay!
Welcome, Fuzzy Mind!
I second that welcome and the squeeing over the cuteness!
the kitty is adorable, but I think (s)he may have world domination on the brain….or maybe tuna treats.
Say goodbye to Kirby, because seeing how I never got to see him, I’m assuming something is wrong with the picture. So I’m getting a new one.
“Goodbye to Kirby, because seeing how I never got to see him, I’m assuming something is wrong with the picture. So I’m getting a new one.”
Did I say it right? What do I win?

That is wholly appropriate here.
Yay, Ratchet….now let’s see how long it takes for him to show up….if ever…
*sigh*
Yeah, I’m going with the “it was the image” theory. I see Ratchet. But I didn’t see Kirby.
Oh! I know this one! Size Matters came with my psp, but I couldn’t wrap my near-middle-aged brain around the 3D navigation.
Still havn’t bought Size Matters, but…I don’t have a PSP.
And…uhhh….3D navigation came around AT LEAST 12 years ago. That’s just for the games I remember.
Uh huh, and 12 years ago I was a 24 year old female who was interested in Beat literature and the hanging out in bars and coffee shops that came with that. I only started gaming again when air travel became a regular part of my job, so I bought a gameboy to keep me busy during the long delays. Honestly, it was embarrassingly painful switching from the classic reissues to the new games. I had no idea how to “save” my games so I spent a lot of time in the first stage of Aria of Sorrow.
Oddly enough, I still have some..err….actually just one of my old PS1 games.
But he was so cute!
Whoa, busy day here! Good night all, see you next week for sure, and maybe sooner if I can find the time (read: ignore other stuff I ought to be doing).
Okay, I will try to round up today’s comments tomorrow, but I will not be able to use capitals or punctuation.
christina, Punchity Punch Punch! Here’s some grogg to wash it down with. With which. Whatever.
G’Night, Tortuga!
Arrgh (still 9 minutes of 19 Sep left to me), but sure an’ Hispanola, on t’Spanish Main, an’ all, t’wou’ be’t a’bonny a’pirat’in a’ far Tortuga, ae ‘es twin, Trinida’rd be, arrgh.
Late to the party, but my catulator insisted I attempt to purchase this $7000 mouse-whatever for him. Anything involving meeces…he’s all over..insistent li’l bugger…..
