Thread de-railment

[Slytovhand]

Or.. what's your Indian overweight, child carrying, gun-toting, ex-christian Iraqi vegetarian seal loving V8 car got to do with this..????

Well - no, not really.

I just thought I'd start up this to lighten up the moods that have shown themselves in a couple of threads recently.

Let's see just how off thread we can get (not that there is, actually, a thread per se).

Take something from the previous thread, and try to relate it to something completely nothing to do with anything else in the thread....




Slyt

[AFPheonix]

I like cheese.

[Pedersen]

I like cheese.

On a nice juicy hamburger.

[Greenday]

I'm having a bbq sometime soon.

[Slytovhand]

I'm seeing a thread here!!!

I was hoping for a bit of a discussion... that's completely unrelated...

Speaking of which, I'm going to hopefully be doing a course this Friday to get me out of the job I've been in for far too long.....

[Lace Neil Singer]

I'm supporting Italy in Euro 2008, due to England being so crap at football, and all...

[Slytovhand]

England??

You should see the fogs we've had down here of late... real nice when you leave at 7am, and it's still all foggy outside when you leave for work at 8pm :D

[Greenday]

Germany ftw!

10 more minutes till work is over...

[DesignFox]

hmm. on topic (not the point) my co-worker is watching soccer (or football as you all call it across the pond).

More to the point, I have a crushing headache that won't go away...and it's making me hyper emotional. :(

[IDrinkaRum]

My daughter's sick & I'm in a funk. :(

And I'm hungry, but I've had a sandwich & I have no clue what else I want to do.

My sink is full of dirty dishes & my dishwasher is full of clean dishes.

And the only sport I like is Baseball. :p

[DesignFox]

and now I miss my horsie... *crying face*

[IDrinkaRum]

DesignFox - you had a horsie? I never had one! :( I want a horsie now!

[daleduke17]

I Like Turtles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMNry4PE93Y)

[Jules Of All Trades]

I like turtles too. But turtle soup...not so much. What's with "mock" turtle soup anyway?

Speaking of mock...never understood mock turtlenecks. Why not just go for the whole turtleneck? Who's mocking who really?

:p

Edited to add: Mock is a funny word when you type it too many times. *giggle*

[AFPheonix]

On a nice juicy hamburger.

I like a nice Muenster or Havarty or Boursin with a lovely glass of Pinot Noir....Yummy.....

[daleduke17]

I like a nice Muenster or Havarty or Boursin with a lovely glass of Pinot Noir....Yummy.....

But no Chianti w/fava beans?

[AFPheonix]

Chiantis are nice too....

brains, not so much.

[daleduke17]

Chiantis are nice too....

brains, not so much.

Brains, brains the magical fruit...the more you eat...

Oh wait, I have that wrong methinks.

[ArenaBoy]

I'm supporting Italy in Euro 2008, due to England being so crap at football, and all...

Good luck with that, they got torn apart by the Dutch. Oh, and ALLEZ LES BLEUS! J'ai deteste Italy!

[ArenaBoy]

Germany ftw!


Pffffffftttttt.

Did okay against a crap Poland side. It'll go to Spain or Portugal.

[IDrinkaRum]

Um ... I want the Nats to win the Super Bowl thing that's for Baseball teams (I do know what it is, but it's 4:35 in the AM - I can barely remember my own name).

And as for the wines, I love the slightly embarrassed Red Table Wine from Unicorn Wineries.

Does anyone know where I can get Blueberry Wine from Daniel's Vineyard? I don't feel like driving to West Virginia to get it. I want it local!

[Lace Neil Singer]

Blueberries are nice, but they stain. O_o

[MystyGlyttyr]

That's part of what you use them for! I've used blueberries, blackberries, walnuts, etc., as natural dye before. If I could just get enough of them and enough T-shirts, I could make all-natural tie-dye and make a mint off the "It's hip to be green" crowd.

(No offense intended to the people who are actually green, only to the ones for whom green is the newest fad, in which case you deserve to be taken advantage of and who better to profit than me? :p )

[Lace Neil Singer]

Green is a hard colour to wear well; too much, and you'll resemble one of those weirdos who walk around Hastings on Mayday.

Tho, they probably consider my fellow bikers and I to be the weirdos. XD

[Norton]

Funny you say that. I'm wearing all green today. Green camo shorts, green tank top, green and black striped socks.

I wear a lot of green, but my favorite color is blue. Since I don't wear blue often, I just dye my hair blue.

[Pedersen]

Better green and green camo than pink and pink camo *shudder*

[daleduke17]

Um ... I want the Nats to win the Super Bowl thing that's for Baseball teams (I do know what it is, but it's 4:35 in the AM - I can barely remember my own name).


The Nationals aren't going to win the World Series. Hopefully it will come down to Cubs/Red Sox. Even though I know I won't be able to watch any of the games as I'd be at work either on shift or as an extra hand. :(

As long as it doesn't come down to Cubs/White Sox. That would cause the implosion of the City of Chicago (oh wait...let me reconsider that) and the destruction of my workplace (we have a lot of students from Chicago and the suburbs).

[Greenday]

The NL won't win the World Series PERIOD.

I feel like half the people I see while driving around work are wearing green. Light green, and dark green. Wait, that's their camo. Silly military base.

[MystyGlyttyr]

I am wearing pink camo to work today.

That is all. :D

[AFPheonix]

I'll wear whatever's clean and off the top of the stack.

[DesignFox]

DesignFox - you had a horsie? I never had one! :( I want a horsie now!

I lease a horsie. :D I love him. My boyfriend has accused me of loving the horse more than I love him. :p

When I can't go see him, I miss him. I've been riding him for 3 years about...and I've leased him for 2 and 1/2 of those years. It'll be three years in October.

Thank you for mentioning it, it's all I talk about.....horses that is. Weee!

[IDrinkaRum]

I am wearing pink camo to work today.

That is all. :D

I almost snarfed Coke Zero Cherry out of my nose. I'm not sure why, but .... for some reason, all I thought of was a pink camo hat, vest and boots and nothing else ...

I think I need more sleep. :eek:

[Pedersen]

for some reason, all I thought of was a pink camo hat, vest and boots and nothing else ...

Damn you. Now I'm thinking of the same thing.

[DesignFox]

Pink camo...can't be as bad as the boots I saw when I was getting customs made for riding- the guy had a pair or western style riding boots in pink faux crocodile skin... >_<

I know he wouldn't offer it if some crazy idiot hadn't requested it...

[IDrinkaRum]

:eek:I ... must ... have ... western ... style ... riding ... boots ... in ... faux ... pink ... crocodile ... skin ... :eek:

Hehehehe ... Yeah ... I can imagine those ... *cries* I have no fashion sense, but I know those aren't attractive neither.

Oh, and Pedersen - sorry that I derailed your train of thoughts. ;)

[Lace Neil Singer]

I have a snakeskin print skirt.

[AFPheonix]

I have cowboy boots in a leopard print, hair on, with rhinestones around the top....

I wear them to work :p

I also alternate them with the zebra print hair-on mule :D
Oh Twisted X boots and shoes, how do I love thee....
Hey, they have those same mules in turquoise or pink lizard skin skin: http://www.twistedxboots.com/Women's04.htm

[Greenday]

Someone mentioned sleep? I gotta get me some of that. My office keeps turning the lights off to save energy and so the office is cooler. I keep finding myself nodding off. My office has a store cabinent with tons of candy and drinks, and they have red bulls, which taste horrible, but the red bulls cost $1.60 and I'm poor until I get my first paycheck, then I'm rich!

[DesignFox]

I have a snakeskin print skirt.

Is it pink? :p

[Lace Neil Singer]

Nope, snake colour. XD I also have four inch cowprint platform boots, which I love to bits. :)

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Speaking of bits, my kid plays with a lot of playdoh, and let me tell you I'm really glad I got rid of the carpet.

Bits of playdoh every freaking where.

You every taste that stuff? there's a reason they have such a low age recommendation on it. No kid will eat that shit.

Speaking of which, I got out of a truck once and stepped in a cow plop. Barefooted. :(

[DesignFox]

I'm at work, and I'm very bored.... *sigh*

[Lace Neil Singer]

The cake is a lie.

[Boozy]

The cake is a lie.

I don't know if anyone has noticed my signature over at CS, but I've been promising people cake if they come sign up over here.

Now I've been exposed. Thanks, Lace. :p

[Lace Neil Singer]

:lol: Any time. XD

[daleduke17]

Cake is good.

Ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, however, beats all.

[AFPheonix]

Mmm....Dairy Spleen....

But there IS one thing that beats our their ice cream cake:
Tillamook ice cream coated in caramel Bailey's. Ambrosia for the gods, I tell you.

[IDrinkaRum]

I just like me some plain chocolate chocolate chip ice cream with chocolate syrup on top topped with chocolate whipped cream & with chocolate sprinkles on top. :p Who says I have a chocolate addiction? :D

But now I'm hungry and i have no clue what I want to eat. I hate cooking breakfast foods and I'm getting tired of Peanut Butter & Jelly sammiches. Might have roast biff sammich instead. For dinner I'm making a turkey loaf! Yummy! Anyone want a slice?

[DesignFox]

I miss my horsie.... is it Sunday yet? I have a big competition and I'm excited and kinda nervous...

[AFPheonix]

Gah. I have a pinto show 2 weekends from now and I'm having a hard time getting up to the trainer's barn where my mare is because I'm dragging my BIL everywhere I go and his allergies are terrible.
At least when I go to the family farm to work on the 2 year old colts he can go to the farmhouse to stay out of the dust. Sucks to be him when the farmer d00d gets that field baled and brought over, though, cuz he gets to help me put it up.

[Slytovhand]

I Might have roast biff sammich instead. For dinner I'm making a turkey loaf! Yummy! Anyone want a slice?

:wave: :D

I've never had turkey roll.... Not a big chocolate fan though...

Horsies... I can deal with that :D

[Lace Neil Singer]

Ride a cock horse to banbury cross...

[IDrinkaRum]

to see a fine lady upon a white horse
with bells on her fingers
and bells on her toes
she shall have music wherever she goes!


That's one of my favorite childhood poems. Plus, back in the late 1970's I used to live outside of Banbury & my sister was born at the hospital in Banbury.

[Lace Neil Singer]

:) Cool. That was one of mine, too; mostly for the mention of horses. I was horse mad as a kid. XD

A cock horse is an extra horse used to help a team of horses or a single horse pull a cart up a hill.

[IDrinkaRum]

LNS - I never knew what a cock horse was. Thanks for the info! Now that I have learned something new for the day, I can go to bed happy. :D

Now, I have to make up my mind about what I'm going to clean tomorrow: Dining room or living room?

[DesignFox]

A cock horse is an extra horse used to help a team of horses or a single horse pull a cart up a hill.

I didn't know this, either. Yay! I learned something new, too!

I can't stop thinking of horsies... I have three weeks off from competing... which is good 'cause a mental reprieve is in order...but it's so much fun, I think I'll be really excited when it starts up again!

The one hunter circuit I rode in, my horsie and I are Reserve Champion! Yay!

Back to dressage...and keeping fingers crossed for dressage awards... and then back to more hunters at the end of August! :D

Rum- you should clean the living room. That's a good place to sit down and enjoy the results of your work when you're done! ;)

[AFPheonix]

I have a three day show coming up next weekend with my mare. It's my first show of the season. I'm lazy, I know. Actually, someone came out to look at her for purchase this weekend. It would have been kind of funny to sell her now. I guess I could have taken one of the training horses in instead to use the stall....

And the 2 year old I'm training is so gosh darn cute. He's learning how to sidepass. He's gonna be a darn good loper, too. Already pretty balanced and slow-legged.

[Lace Neil Singer]

Glad to be of service. XD The cock horse was led to the bottom of the hill after helping, and was paid for by the town. Banbury probably had a steep hill that needed a cock horse, hence the rhyme.

I used to ride a horse that had been trained to pace; I used to make him do it on purpose whenever we had to ride without stirrups or bareback cuz it was so much more comfortable than regular trotting. XD

[IDrinkaRum]

I've never had a horsie. :( I have ridden ponies when I was younger at like petting zoos and stuff. And I love to ride the Carousel at whatever park I'm at. :D But no horsie riding for me.

Ah well .... I have to eat breakfast & then get dressed & then go to K-Mart for birthday party supplies.

[Lace Neil Singer]

I never had one either... my meanypants parents always refused to buy me one for Christmas! *shakes fist* XD

[DesignFox]

I have a three day show coming up next weekend with my mare. It's my first show of the season. <snip>

Good luck! Have a good ride if you're riding. :D

I can't believe I have a three week break from showing... It's good, cause August and September are going to be INSANE. But...it's so much FUN. I'm almost too excited... It's like I have to force myself to take this break so I don't over do it. I'm such a little kid about it all...

I am proud of myself, though. This Saturday I was totally calm in the arena, and even my instructor remarked that I didn't look nervous at all! YAY! I'm learning to control my nerves!

Lace- don't feel bad, nobody will buy me a horse, either. (or more importantly pay for it's upkeep, cause I don't have THAT much money!)

[IDrinkaRum]

All i have are 2 cats, 1 daughter and 1 husband. Husband complains about the cats (they both like me better) and the daughter (mainly when she's hyperactive and wants to play with him & all he wants to do is veg after a hard day at work. *le sigh*)

Ah well, maybe one day I will get my pony. :D

[AFPheonix]

Good luck! Have a good ride if you're riding. :D

Thanks! I'm hoping someone will take a shine to her there and buy her. I've got too many horses on my string right now.
Soooo.....anyone want a nice quiet 3 year old paint? I've got 3 of them.....

[Lace Neil Singer]

Well, if you're happy to pay for shipping, vetting and of course, like Designfox said, upkeep... hell yes. ^^ I love paint horses.

[DesignFox]

Thanks! I'm hoping someone will take a shine to her there and buy her. I've got too many horses on my string right now.
Soooo.....anyone want a nice quiet 3 year old paint? I've got 3 of them.....

I hope you find a buyer and she goes to a good home. :)

[IDrinkaRum]

Hey! You know what??? I read Boozy's signature at CS.com and I'm wondering: Where are the cookies that are mentioned in her signature? :p

[Boozy]

I've decided to come clean with my signature here. :D

[Greenday]

Horseys? YAY! NJ meetup coming up at a horse racing track!

[DesignFox]

I'm soooooo excited. I wish some more people would join us. There's a couple other Jersians on there who just seem to be ignoring the offer! I'd love to meet more people. :)

[Greenday]

Sucks to be them. If I win big, I'm taking us all out to dinner! Steaks all around!

Speaking of steaks, I had some lovely London Broil last night. Shame my piece had a huge piece of fat running down the middle of it. :(

[Lace Neil Singer]

I've decided to come clean with my signature here. :D

:p And it was me that uncovered the cake lie!

[IDrinkaRum]

Hmmm ... cake ... I want cake. too bad all I have is a box of brownie mix. :)

Ooops ... I gots to go ... I have to put my spaghetti sauce together so I can make pasta for dinner tonight. :)

[Plaidman]

A year ago, these uhh... fans and posters wouldn't dare spam here. I mean what happened?

What do I propose?

Simple: Fill the thread maaaaaan!

[Lace Neil Singer]

I want a lollipop.

[IDrinkaRum]

I prefer suckers. :p

[Greenday]

Must get mind out of gutter...

[AFPheonix]

I've got my bottle of tequila, I'm a happy camper.

[IDrinkaRum]

My mind's been in the gutter for as long as I can remember. :p

Now, I'm hungry ... What do I want for breakfast?

[Lace Neil Singer]

Why do you call lollipops suckers? Over here, a sucker is a stupid person.

[DesignFox]

A sucker is a stupid person over here, too, Lace.

I wonder why they named them after lollipops? :confused:

[IDrinkaRum]

I don't know why lollipops are also called suckers. Maybe it's 'cos you can suck on them as well as lick them?

Waiting for the delivery man!! The delivery man! The delivery man! Waiting for the delivery man for ooey gooey pizza goodness!

[Lace Neil Singer]

Aww, I want delivery pizza. But hardly anywhere delivers to where I am. -.-

[Slytovhand]

I"m waiting for mail... I bought Order of the Stick's all 4 books the other day.... :D :D :D

[IDrinkaRum]

Order of the Stick: The Board Game. I've heard it's fun to play. :D

I bought, last week, Storming the Castle - a card game based on The Princess Bride. :p

[AFPheonix]

Maybe it's based on OTHER things you can suck? :p

[IDrinkaRum]

Suck ... ??? I er ... I don't know what you're talking about AFPheonix. :p Not at all. :p

Do I want to go to bed? Do I want to eat more ribs? How about a baked potato? Hmmm ... I think bed is winning out.

[Slytovhand]

Yay! I finally have all 4 OOTS books :D

And about halfway through them all now....

[IDrinkaRum]

What are OOTS books?

My ankle still hurts & my daughter is using my crutch as a hobby horse. I don't know if I should laugh or cry. :D

[Slytovhand]

I'd love to just do a link, but I can't access it from work :(

but... if you google Order of the Stick, you'll see it...

but basically - it's a webcomic :D

[IDrinkaRum]

*slaps forehead* I work at a Gaming Store ... I should know Order Of The Stick! We sell the books and the board game! I blame the brain burp on my daughter who woke me up too early.

Now I'm going to have another sammich for lunch. *le sigh*

[Lace Neil Singer]

I have to work tomorrow. -.-

[IDrinkaRum]

I have to clean my toilets. And I have to get my husband to actually do ONE item tomorrow within the 5 hours I'll be at work tomorrow. :( He doesn't do anything but sit around and ignore daughter. *le sigh*

[DesignFox]

I have 5 days off. It would be nice if it was for better reasons. *sigh*

Good news- I have a horse show tomorrow! :)

[Lace Neil Singer]

Good luck! Hope you bring back some ribbons.

[DesignFox]

Thanks Lace. I did bring back some ribbons. (well I only had one other competitor in my category, but we still won, anyway!)

I rode well. So, I'm mostly happy about that. :)

[AFPheonix]

Hey, a good go is a good go!

I just had a brownie with vanilla ice cream blended with Bailey's and Kahlua....I think I came.

[IDrinkaRum]

That brownie sounds delicious!

Hubs is cooking breakfast for me, child & him. :D He can be useful sometimes. :p
