Remember Winnie the Pooh?
Good, because these folks don’t:
***HUNNY THE PHOO CRIB SET NEW**PERFECT FOR YOU BABY****
********hello
I have for sale this crib set never used and yes is new
Fell free to call me or txt for any question
###-###-####. Thanks….:)
Whiney poo new born carseat
I have a new born whineypoo carseat. I don’t need it anymore. If you need pictures just call or ask. Its almost brand new
###-###-####
When I was a kid, we had a copy of Winnie the Pooh lying around the house in LATIN. In LATIN, people. The translator even successfully managed to render “Hipy Papy Bthuthdth Thuthda Bthuthdy” in LATIN.*
And you can’t even be arsed to spell “Pooh” correctly? For shame.
Thanks for the posts, Michelle and the Henleys! (Which sounds sort of like an indie band)
*Note: this is actually true. For both of us. Separately.
I remember Whiney Poo. That was the little bear that was always asking, “are we there yet” and “do I have to go” on all our long car trips.
I had winey poo once, was after vineyard tour…
Was it in the vineyard’s viney loo?
I think his winey poo was in his FTLs…..
Oh, right “Hunny the Phoo”…yeah, he’s younger cousin to “Pity the Phoo”…
I thought he was a bowl of sweet noodles…
Bowel. Bowel of sweet noodles.
*sigh*
Poo. Bowel. It’s going to be another one of those days, isn’t it?
TacoTypo — I thought you would have your snow hat on today.Psst, Stephanae! Thanks for visiting me in the forum. It brightened my weekend. 8)
Honey the Phoo. Never seen that one at my local Vietnamese eatery.
Well, my town has Tran Phu Vietnamese noodles.
Then they opened Rosie’s Phu” (yes, with two apostrophes)
Suppose it will only be a matter of time–since they are moving into a former Honey-baked Ham location–that Honey Phu cannot be far off . . .
Vinnie ille Pu: “Et tu, Eeyore?”
*I want*
Veni, vidi, vici, Bouncy, Flouncy, Trouncy,Pouncy.
Funfun funfun fun!
Winnie, Weedie, Weechi … Latin thugs hanging out on Poo Corner.

They also have Winnie Ille Pu Semper Ludet.(The House at Pooh Corner)
Massive Monday link….
Also available:
Cattus Petasatus: The Cat in the Hat in Latin
Taco would love it. 8)
There’s also a Latin “Wizard of Oz.” I gave it to my nephew for Christmas a couple of years ago.
According to Auntie Amazon, there are Latin versions of at least two of the Harry Potter books (Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis and Harrius Potter et Camera Secretorum if anyone is interested.) There’s also a version in ancient Greek. I’m somewhat impressed that someone took the effort to translate popular children’s books into a dead language but I also have to wonder why they did it.
All my friends with babes are getting this for Christmas/Hannukah/Beesmas/Winter-Gifting-Holiday:
http://jameshance.com/books.html
A door for you, just for “Beesmas.” More, if I could.
Beesmas! I love it! Merry Beesmas to all!
Movements of the Bees’ Mass:
Regina eleison
Gloria in excelsis mel
Credo in pollen
Waxtus
Buzzidictus
Apidae Dei
[matt]Bee’s movements are no laughing matter… If you can manage through the mandatory 30 second ad, you will bee treated to some serious information about what a big problem that can bee. Stop laughing! It’s not funny! They called the government! [/matt]
HP in Latin? Wonder how they handled Rowling’s use of “dog latin” for names and spells nd the like?
I would like to suggest December 21st for Beesmas. 8) I know just what I am getting for all of you, too. Even the Lurkers!
Why do I get the impression we’re all going to need antihistamines?
While I approve of Beesmas, I do humbly request that I may do the laying on of bees by proxy.
I do believe I need to get Winnie the Pooh in latin for my sister!
Ahem: “Soror credunt Winnie ille Pu in Latin adepto!”
Nisi quod nemo Latin sorores dicere.
Nam soror tua non sum locutus.
And THAT is the reason I am not buying it for myself.
(Namely, that I understood none of THAT.)
Did anyone else think that Dan is starting to sound a lot like Grampdaddy?
Well, he didn’t add anything into his “when I was a kid” story that included being barefoot in a snowstorm, eating lint and liking it, that the Latin version of Pooh wasn’t in braille, or that he had to push a boulder up a hill every day wearing roller skates.
It was nearly the perfect Grampdaddy story, David Allan Coe.
Mudsy — you are being sooo picky for a Monday morning. It’s was snowing in Taco land, so that was implied. The story started out with when I was a kid and ended with Winnie the Pooh lying around the house in LATIN. In LATIN, people. All it really needed was “and we liked it”.
“It’s was snowing…” indeed. *grinz*
I must have been drinking the super-caffeinated java this morning. What was I thinking?
Well, for that “elder effect” one would have said that one’s tomes were all in Latin, that’s what we spoke in the Empire, other than the debased Greek used by dillitants and furriiners.
furriiners = Barbarian horde
dilettantes = Barbarians-in-training
dillitants = militant dill enthusiasts
pickle plunderers….
Pickled thinkers and tutors, too <G>
[hisotrical corey]Romans thought of Greek, the language, as something spoken only by “hillbillies”, the inbred, and slaves. yet, all the ‘best’ families went out and bought Greek tutors to teach their children. Which did help keep greek litrature alive as a medium of science, philosophy, and religion. It also kept the stories of Thrace, Sparta, Macedon alive, too.[/corey]
And we had to make our own lint, and of course it couldn’t be in braille because eyes hadn’t been invented yet, and you left out the part about it being 20 miles UPHILL both ways to school and we didn’t have roller skates so we had to strap greased bull testicles to our feet to slide around on when we pushed the boulder uphill and….
The wonderful thing about Tiggers, is Tiggers are Not.A.Lions
I’m confused. Was that last bit a hint of senility? 😀
I’m confused. Was that last bit a hint of senility?
Well, you could call it a hint, but it really is all I want for Christmas, so –Please!, Please!, Please!, Please!, Please!Please!Please!Please!Please!Please!Please!
I’m confused. Was that last bit a hint of senility?
:adds to Beesmas shopping list:
Grampdaddy – greased bull testicles
Hugs to you Archie! If only someday I might be as smart as Dan…. (Bees be upon him).
Oops, that was supposed to be Artsy, but someone stole my edit function…..
*ever so gently disengages from Grampdaddy’s hug, turns him around and heads him in Artsy’s direction, murmuring “Thank you, dear, now off you go.”
*ever so gently disengages from Grampdaddy’s hug, turns him around and heads him in Artsy’s direction, murmuring “Thank you, dear, now off you go.”
(Wanders away, slyly muttering, “Love this ‘forgetful’ bit – I get to hug more nice ladies….”)
I had college professor parents, of the educational-toy-giving variety, and I vividly remember being in a great snit one Christmas, because I had asked for a Barbie and a Mister Microphone, but instead received a miniature printing press (which I was never allowed to touch, for fear I’d break it) along with that same Latin copy of Winnie Ille Pu! Lord knows what ever happened to the book; it certainly didn’t get much use, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard of anybody else having it.
These sorts of revelations are pretty much an everday occurence here at YSaC. In fact, it’s a rare day indeed when nothing out of the ordinary happens. You should know that by now t.i.
😉
Hmm, it seems an odd, though not impossible coincidence, that the mangling of Pooh’s name involves an actual word from the book. May I play Sparky’s Advocate here for a moment, and suggest that perhaps the crib set or its packaging was decorated with a scene referencing “Hunny” and the poor seller, who is clearly a few ESL bobs short of a pound to begin with, saw this artwork and confused Hunny with Winnie? Just a thought…
A Door, t.i., for the “Sparky’s Advocate” coinage.
And, another, for a “few bob short of a pound”.
(Tho- does pose the question of if you mean 22d bob, six to the £; or the “decimalized” variety…)
Better than Runny the Phoo.
I have Winnie ille Pu and Domus Anguli Puensis. They’re fantastic. They’re so solemn and beautiful. Piglet as Porcellus always makes me smile.
“Malum,” inquit Pu.
*happy sigh*
Guineas for you RW <G>
Wish I still had our old copy. I think it was actually titled “Winnie Ille Pu”, sacrificing accuracy for name recognition.
I switched it to the Latin pronunciation of “v”s which make the sound of “w”. Hence: veni, vidi, vici, [vinnie] is actually pronounce weni, widi, wici….[winnie]
But you are [corey] correct, AG!
Winnie and Piglet were always afraid of Heffalumps and Sparkies. With good reason.
HUNNY THE PHOO
Now I have a craving for Vietnamese soup. Thanks a lot Sparky.
That’ll teach me to comment before reading what has gone before…
Great minds and all that…
I am just glad someone else recognized what I was referring to! And I really do think I am going to get some pho for lunch. The power of suggestion has some serious control over me.
Well. T.I., look at it this way. My parents were a businessman and what was then called a housewife. We got normal toys, but we still ended up having more fun with dixie cups and gravel. Probably just like you!
HHNF is back! Now is zee time at YSaC ven ve dahnse!
Whiney the Poo
Whiney the Poo!
Clever little outhouse stuffed with…
Gotta go.
I think that’s how the outhouse got stuffed.
I’d give a carseat away too if it was whiny, no matter how nice and new it was.
Not to mention how new the poo was.
Hello, line, where are you going?
If it’s never used and new, isn’t it still presumably in the packaging?
And doesn’t that packaging have, oh, a label?
Which would have, oh, the correct name of the character?
I think this is a
BearSparky of Very Little Brain.I like the explanation for the carseat — “I don’t need it anymore” and “it’s almost brand new.” Conjures up all kinds of sad stories in my mind.
Well, now I’m depressed. Thanks, Graham! (Come by more often, won’t you? I mean that.)
My mind went there too.
Thanks alot, dan!
My thought was that it was their secondary carseat, so that’s why it didn’t get used too much…
The happy version of the story goes that the state swooped up the child shortly after birth rather than allow it to grow up in a home where the parents don’t know how to say “Winnie the Pooh.”
Spelling it correctly is apparently beyond their ken as well.
I just go on the assumption these days that people can’t even spell the things they can say. I’m disappointed less frequently that way.
Oh, I’m totally always maximum-ally disappointed.
I keep a high level of disappointment in reserve so that I’m never taken by surprise when I encounter rampant stupidity.
It’s pretty easy to do too. You just stock up when prices are low. Like buying beef, or children.
EDIT: Fixed my own rampant stupidity, I am very disappointed.
My favourite put down is to say someone couldn’t even spell his/her own face.
I love it, tig! (Note to self: Not all nicknames can be abbreviated with the initial letters) I will have to keep that in mind :-p
There is a statute of limitations on car seats, no matter how little they have been used. The plast ic will degrade over time, and become dangerous. I bought used car seats for my kids when we got custody of them, not knowing how bad t hat could have been. Luckily we made it safely through childhood.
Ah, the Hemingway approach. I prefer to assume that Sparky’s mutant child outgrew the car seat, and the car, and is now on a rampage in some metropolitan area.
So instead of being it-fell-off-a-truck hot, it could potentially be superhero-power-inducing hot. That’s so much more comforting.
Shame my godchildren are now too old for this … wotta great gift! 8)
I simply thought that the Sparkies bought the carseat rather late in the “newborn” period or their little one was big at birth and had quickly outgrown it. I know my oldest was only in our newborn sized carseat for about a week and then we had to break out our infant to toddler sized one.
Of course that’s the logical explanation.
But it’s not as funny.
(Don’t worry, kelli, that was my first thought, too.)
Since it’s logical and this is a CraigsList ad, I’m probably wrong. Logic has no home among the sellers of special t-shirts and cups of manjuice.
*cough* *gag*
Well, the first “logical” thing I came up with was that the Sparkies was, in fact, reading the actual names of the knock-off, off-brand, gray-market products they (or their relatives) picked up super-cheap off some on-line source.
Or, maybe I’ve seen one too many hooover vacuums on eBay . . .
Heh heh…whineypoo. Next person to throw a tantrum in this house gets a new nickname!
Current Nickname Rundown of Tron:
Tron
Crankyboots
Sgt. Crankypants (Not actually a Sergeant)
Creepy
BuckTeef
Squirmy
Leemonster
Grumpy
Most of my particularly creative nicknames are for my cat… Beast, Black Beast, Wicked Creature, Creature of the Night, etc. :-p
MiniEB is mostly Mr. Baby, Monkey, Monkey-face, Stink-butt, Cute-pants, Crank-butt… He used to be Mr. Vampire, but that was fleeting, since now he has his little gap-tooth front teeth :-p
My cats’ nicknames are:
NO!!!!
Get Down!!!
What are you [two] doing in there?
Stop eating the plastic!
The dining room chair seat cushions are not your scratching post!
You just ate!
Who used the litter box and forget to bury their treasure?
And that’s just on Monday….
Mr. mudsy’s nicknames involve asterisks.
Well, if we’re going with those…the most common thing I call Roy is “Gah!! Psssssttt! Quit it! Get down! Wicked… Nasty… Vile… Evil… Creature… Beast… muttermuttermutter” He has a thing about jumping on the counter and the table and eating any hot dogs or buttercream frosting I leave out…
He’s merely an opportunist. He thinks you leave them out for him [cat logic].
Or is Roy the name of Mr. EB? 😉
Well, Bugsy the Insane’s nicknames are…
Osama bin Bugsy – for his habit of terrorizing feet and small children
And
Dammit Cat – for his annoying habit of….well, being a cat
Haha, no, Mudsy, Roy is our younger cat. He’s about 5 months old, so he’s still somewhat of a terrorist. He’s just lucky he’s so cute, because when I wake up on the morning and he’s sleeping on my bum it makes me not want to kill him anymore :-p
The nicknames for my girls
Eldest –
MooMoo
Chipmunk
Jesus
Second –
JoJo (only I am allowed to use this)
Kiki
Sakoyo
Third –
Cherries (used with her birth name)
Redhead
Ju (yelling “get over her Ju” in a store stopped this nickname)
Jub (long u)
Youngest –
Porcupine
Yiyi (long i, both syllables)
My little pony
Yeah, we’re a little odd.
My eldest niece gets called Harpo, Harpy, Harp-a-doodle or Harp-a-doodle-do, and Gumdrop. (She’s old enough now that calling her one of these names will get you a sour face, a “Don’t call me that!” and sometimes a little foot-stomping mini-tantrum.) Her little sister is Mariboo, Mei-mei, Mooch, Moochiboo, or Moochie.
Our little girl is often referred to as “Junebug” or “Little Monkey Princess.”
Awwww…how sweet. Just wait until she’s 17. I’m sure you’ll think of a few more.
Yeah — wait until she’s 16 and you’ll agree with Bombdude and wished you had named her “No”.
I seem to be agreeing with Bombdude a lot lately. Should I worry about this?
I would.
I’d check the air quality around you’re area.
Maybe it was all that Lysol you released a while back, Artsy.
My baby girl is now 26, and sometimes just to piss her off, her brothers still call her by the nickname they gave her as a little girl.
“Peck”
‘member “Willow”?
Our Congo African Gray parrot who has no toes can’t perch, so we have carpets for her to stand on, and unfortunately she poos on them. Mike calls her Princess Poopy Foots.
anyone else filling in all the stars of the first ad with bleeped-out bad words?
no? ok
Well, I am now…
My response, verbatim, Meej!
Ditto above
I’m still trying to fill in all the badly spelled words I can read with stars.
*** ***** ** **** ******’* ***.
Nice TM.
🙂
Does it make an obelisk of the proportions 1:4:9 and cause simian bone-throwing?
Of course. Thus spake Zarathustra all about that.
Tee-hee 😉
Suddenly it reads like a Spike Lee movie.
Thanks a lot Silva.
…
SON OF A BUICK!
Silva, I accidently named my main character of my Nano project after you. I’ve been trying all month to figure out why her name seemed so familiar.
Uh… now I need to know what this character will be doing in your story.
Mostly a spy, and she whines a lot at first before becoming badass.
Not really meant to be parallel of you. Named her Silvia and then my brain decided that an appropriate shortened form would be Silva.
As long as
I’mshe’s badass, that’s all that really matters 🙂Does she whine about a car seat? Or a newborn?
(Trying to help the conversation come full circle. How am I doing?)
Yes, the whineypoo carseat is almost brand new. Please don’t let the pile of garbage in the background scare you off. We only stored it in our garage for a few
yearsmonths.I’m just glad the straps are still on those seats. With them tilted like that, the baby would be constantly falling out.
(why do the CL Sparkies* constantly post their pictures oriented incorrectly?)
*Looks like Thing from the Addams Family had a baby
Because goodness knows it takes too much effort to open an editing program of any kind and click on “rotate”. It would also take too much effort to actually clear away any debris in the background or to actually take a picture of an easily movable item in a clean space. *sigh*
Hey! We can’t all be masters of windows picture viewer like you art people!
And who has the time to clean these days! It’s all I can do to bother making it to the trashcan anymore. Sheeze!
A clean space? You mean like the backyard or the sidewalk outside your house? (This is an obscure reference to earlier vacuum cleaner posts that I am too lazy to go find right now because I should be working.)
Sounds like *someone* has earned the title of WhineypooMagic in today’s Snark Lounge.
Straps? Meh. That’s what duct tape’s for.
“We’s home. Pa, cain you cut Cleetus jr outta his seat?”
“Hey, don’t gunk up my good cuttin’ knife! Use this straight razor.”
“An let the boy do it hisself. Ain’t gonna lern no other ways.”
Having had a newborn in a car seat, I think whiney poo is an apt description.
You had your newborn in a car seat? That sounds like a difficult delivery! Couldn’t you move it out of the way in time?
Hehehehe…
Perhaps it was a “birthing” car seat….
“People who don’t think probably don’t have brains; rather, they have grey fluff that’s blown into “their heads by mistake.”
-Eeyore-
“Arsed”? I’m not familiar with that use of the word.
Well, you are now.
Click here for the Urban Dictionary definition.
*click*
Hmm.
*click*
Hmmmmm….
*click*click*click*click*click*click*click*click*!
Your link is broken.
Yeah, her effort to make a link was somewhat half-arsed.
(ba-dum, ccchhhsshh!)
Unless, of course, you can’t be arsed to look it up. 😉
Oops. Well, anyway, it’s in the Urban Dictionary.
I think Sparky-the-2nd is confused. Pooh isn’t whiny. Eeyore is whiny. But it’s not his fault; it’s a biochemical problem.
Ugggh…
I read that as Whiney Poo new porn carseat.
As a side note, hi again!
Gee, an adolescent male mistook something innocent for porn? I, for one, am quite shocked. Next thing you know, Taco will miss a typo in one of his posts and Hammy will make a thinly veiled sexual comment involving dairy products. To what is this world coming?
Plus 1 for not ending the sentence with a preposition.
MinusPlus lots more for leaving the door open to more double entendre.Watch out AR…those adolescent males (includes Hammy and Bombdude) will be thinking you said “proposition” …
AR is propositioning adolescent males? I thought that was what we were going to do on Tuesday. Darn, I better go check my calendar.
*blink* It took me a minute to realize it’s NOT Tuesday. Maybe I’m particularly impressionable today?
No, Tuesday is tomorrow, and it’s two free tacos at Jack in the Box (after 2pm) too.
Clever of jack to pick Taco Tuesday.
What’s wrong with propositions? I have this great idea to make some money – I need you all to start selling these products. We’ll all be rich! See, a great business proposition.
Keli — you forgot to cross out adolescent.
Artsy – are yousure she forgot?
**blinkblink**
::is a male, and is, he believes, currently in that part of his life in which he is adolescing*.::
What kinds of products are these?
*Is that a real word?
Well
jailbaitAstro, these are only the finest products that money can buy. Trust us.Obeekaybee.
I have an announcement to make. I am in love with christina. I am on Opera. I have doors. I can (sort of) nest comments. And all on my ****** ** ***** blackberry. ALL HAIL CHRISTINA.
Thank goodness you got that figured out. It was like picking what pie you were gonna have for dessert.
🙂
Now if someone could just help Cappy.
Hey, welcome back, NMN!
Unfortunately, I will be gone again soon. Something…happens…tomorrow.
Is that a good or bad thing that happens tomorrow? Should we be happy for you or raging against this thing?
Whatever it is, we’re in your corner, and will welcome you back when appropriate.
Lola, if we have to wait for him to be appriopriate to welcome him back, well, I only expect another 40 years or so of riding around the sun. 8)
PS –Beau is in the BOX! Hooray and congrats!
Meh, Windrose, he can be inappropriate or not – the line has left the building and I don’t expect it to return any time soon!
How did I get in the box? I am excited, confused, nervous, and also excited again.
Did lola or HHNF tell you about the punching for box awardees?
<evil grin>
Beau, please be careful if you are too excited, we just cleaned the floor in here!
Sounds about standard for gaining entry into the Golden Lotus.
I’m not sure who told me what, but as far as premature celebrations are concerned, I tend to have the opposite problem. Yes, that’s still considered a problem. If you don’t know, don’t ask 😛
I see my comment in the box now. I FEEL HONORED. I AM NOT WORTHY!! *bows to all of you*
Brain assembled post-mature, then clean tripped over a fleeing Line . . .
How do you feed a newly born car seat? Do they eat babies? Did Sparky run out of babies to feed the hungry car seat and that’s why it’s up for sale?
It ate them out of house and home, and now they’re living out of their car.
Here. http://www.yousuckatcraigslist.com/?p=5460
Did you get my Christmas card I sent you Lola? I sent it to 442 Muscle Car Circle.
No, Mudsy, I didn’t. Dangit, I bet that’s why I’m having exhaust problems. Darn kids don’t do their chores and get the mail properly. I’m going to have to make them sleep up on the luggage rack for punishment.
Hunny Phoo is having a exhaust problems of a different kind.
*I’ll be glad when tomorrow comes around and hopefully the conversations will go in another direction. In the meantime, I’ll continue to have no self control.*
What else do you call a crib set that has never been used? Pre-used?
Something to sell. Or firewood.
(crib set corey) The term crib set is normally used to refer to the bedding that one may use in a crib not the actual crib itself. This may include sheets, bumpers (soft padding to go around the edge of the crib so the baby doesn’t hurt it’s head on the slats or wood), and a comforter. (/corey)
I suppose I was a bit premature on my rant about the “new” reference to a crib set that has never been used. And so I stand corrected (by myself). *silly me, what was I thinking?*
I would not call a 50 year old can of Crisco that “hasn’t been used” to be exactly, er, um…..new.
I’m pretty sure I was told that Mini would die if I put the bumpers in his crib…. But they keep the binky from rolling out, and that keeps him HAPPY. (And besides, he is pretty clever, I was not worried about him shoving his face in the corner and not being able to get out. Actually, he sleeps with his face shoved in the corner of the bumper anyways, but wouldn’t that be more comfortable than having your face shoved into wooden slats?)
The Crisco Kid, he was a friend of mine.
Sounds like a Kris Kristofferson tune . . .
Arrggggggggh. I used the wrong it’s/its. I know that it’s is a contraction of it is and its is the possessive form of it. Heck, I probably should of used his instead of its. I am deeply ashamed.
I’m pretty sure I was told that Mini would die if I put the bumpers in his crib
Nothing to worry about EB. We put the flippers and the rebound bumpers and the flashing lights and everything in their crib. The only time the kids objected was when we tried to get the ‘extra play’ and got the flashing “TILT” light and siren. I think Manda still has the record high score…
I just read the first one as “Perfect for you, baby.” And then I imagined the writer winking at me (perhaps because of all the asterisks). I feel as if I was being inappropriately seduced with the use of a crib set.
That would be an odd tool of seduction.
*wink wink*
**winks at Mudsy and nonsensicalcat**
Why hello there, ladies. I must say, **wink wink** you look absolutely
ravishingravenousrabidpurty tonight.Teehee.
Poor Mr. Winkey. I bet that crib looks a lot nicer than you’re beer box mattress.
So, tell me Mr. Winkey, how long have you been a “beer-box mattress”?
You, Are, Your, You’re, Is, You’s, Youse, Youses, Lou, Loose, Looses, Louse, Louses… Speaking of louses, where’s the Moose in the Poncho??
Leave Lou O-U-T of any conversation with Winkey!!
From a girl crush to love, I’m feeling so very special right now!
I’m glad it’s working, Tank. I still get a couple of nesting errors, but for the most part it works way better than my default browser.
You mean nesting errors like this one? At least it’s not your second comment of the day. 😉
Did I mention occasional nesting errors?
This is cool, christina. I am not having “nesting errors”, I am experiencing totally random nesting. Witness my exuberant greeting to HHNF which appeared way up there, hours before her appearance. It’s like the TARDIS on crack. Wheeee! !
I must have jinxed it because at least three of my comments disappeared today. Of course, that might have been due to my crappy signal at work. I’m going to mess around with a few others as well.
I’m still resisting the urge to google-fu up the beastiary that includes the creature which births car seats.
Having watched probably one too many half hours of “How It’s Made” I have a frightening image of some canadian robotic factory gone ambulatory, leaving litters and clutches of unused baby seating around.
*knock knock*
Am I still welcome?
Yes. Careful, there’s a Beau character around (peaking out of the golden lotus box, even)
Well there’s a new Shurruff in town, and I’ll take care of that Beauregard.
Is that a threat?
I was hoping so :-p
Tis a threat.
Bring it on, HHNF. Whatever you can bring I can handle, well, maybe.
EEEEEEEEE!!!!! HHFN!!!! Now we do the dance of Joy!
I’ve missed you guys!
Same to you, too.
Ditto. Very nice to have you in the Lounge again. 8)
So after many weeks, HHNF and Graham T both return the same day…
When you guys get a room, you really get a room!
HI! 😀
Indeedily-doo, neighbor!
(Also, it’s like an old-school reunion! GrahamT and HHNF are back, on the same day!)
Poor graham, just when he thought he had a place to hide and have intellijunt conversation…
Wow. We thought you’d died of the (completely accidental, the company assures us) carbon monoxide leak in the Room.
Of course you are welcome! We miss you and talk about it all the time.
Welcome back! You both left and came back at the same time, I’m assuming you have happy news to report? Bun in the oven? Nuptials?
Smedley, how sweetly innocent of you to assume in this case that those would be happy occasions …
And even if any of that occurred, don’t forget that what happens in The Room stays in The Room.
That’s me, sweetly innocent. As evidenced below, my naivete knows no bounds.
Back to the crazy kids; So what you’re telling me is they either lured a priest into the room with them or the “Bun” is still in the room? Neat.
I could be wrong, they’re both discreet, but I rather think the answer is no.
Okey dokey.
Always. Welcome back.
SQUEE.
*ahem*
I must present you with this.
*winks at HHNF*
Teehee.
You’re always welcome as long as you don’t brag about your
torridlascivious affair with a certain young Brit.Of course you are welcome!
Speaking of books you had when you were a kid, did anyone have “Richard Scarry’s Best Story Book Ever”? There was a story about a French Canadian bear who went hunting for moose, and butchered it, and had moose steaks, and moose burgers and moose bacon or something, and “forty jars of minced moose meat.” The minced moose meat stuck in my mind. I went years later to get the book for my kids, and that story was missing, along with a few others. I hate censorship. I don’t know, matt tags or corey’s?
I think you are thinking of “Richard Best’s Scarriest Story Book Ever.” There’s still a ton of butchering in that one.
No, I just looked it up on eBay, and it’s there like that. The one we had was printed in the late 60’s, and any copyrighted after that date are butchered.
Oh. You were being HamCannish.
I am a doofus.
Whoo, reunion day! Good to see the long-lost snarkers return, and everyone is snarking well today – or at least, as well as can be expected on a poo joke day.
Also, [complaint] the time change is still messing me up! If feels so late, but it’s not. [/complaint]
And then there’s the whole messed-up lunar calendar on which run the holidays. I can’t for the life of me remember when Hanukkah starts, and my calendar this year hasn’t got any of the Jewish holidays marked on it.
My calendar says sundown on the 1st of December! Super early this year.
We are back to editing, correct? And I have gotten my first ever 405 bad request error on my work computer. So I cleared the history and stuff, and will see if this takes. 8) Otherwise, I’ll be on here in a few hours to wrap up the evening.
Ah, all better then.
My default mobile browser (Chrome, I assume) is giving me internal errors on adores.
When I hit submit on the second comment, I got the error. Sheesh.
I used to get the error about once every week and a half or so. Since I’ve been busy lately with things that don’t involve sitting in front of my computer, I haven’t been stopping by as often, and I just realized that I also haven’t had an error in all that time. It’s definitely something bogging down the browser, some kind of cache file or something, and the more frequently you’re here (I’m not sure if it’s related to frequency of comments or giving out doors or just simply being here reading and hitting refresh every so often) the more frequently the error is going to pop up.
Anyway. Just thought that might help solve the mystery. 😉
I got my very first error today too. I’m glad to know I was in good company.
Yeah, because if you were in Bad Company, you’d have to play or sing or something.
Til the day you die, anyway.
Ooh! Jesters! Here they come.
All Righty, Beau! Here’s your card and your first Punchity Punch Punch!
G’Night, Hundred Acre Wood!
Thank you! I’m sorry I missed it, I’m training my eyes. I apparently have difficulty spotting things when looking for them. Weird how that works, right?
Happens to me ALL the time. Kinda problematic, really.
Huh. As of 7 am EST there are no options for doors at all. Is this supposed to be this way?
Wow…if there’s no door option them sucker’s are gonna start stackin’ up real quick.
I think the llamanun (bees be upon her) de-activated our adoring for now. Lots of 400, 404, and now the dreaded 405 errors showing up. She’s trying to figure out why.
I can’t even use IE on here anymore, but FF seems to be inoculated against the errors…for now.
I wondered if that was it … when I’m about to get those errors, I can’t give doors and get small internal error messages and if I don’t clear cache, etc., then I get the 400-type errors and have to clear everything. Hope she can figure it out soon! Although … I suspect this crowd has the ability to develop a work-around of some type.
Oh, absolutely Lola…but I’m afraid without an orderly method in which to bestow doors this place might start looking like a Three Stooges pie fight with doors (feather-light and deliciously topped with whipped cream) instead of pies flying hither and yon.
And, I’ve not, I say again not had an error for a while, too. Saturday maybe?
Now, there has been some miserable weathe and early snow off towards the more dense parts of fewer-ground connections router-land, too.
This no-adores thing is freaking me out. It’s bad enough when I look for the adore button on other sites, but I keep going to click, and there’s nothing there, and I’m sure I’m in the right place for there to be!
::deep breaths::
Welcome back, Astro, how was the band thing?
I, too, have a copy of Winnie the Pooh in Latin. I found it at a used bookstore years ago and couldn’t resist the temptation. Glad to know I wasn’t the only one!
