Ok Kay....what's a bodega please? :Scratch-Head:

Whew :eek:......Thank goodness you still have your wits about you Kay.

A girl certainly needs to know she still has duct tape somewhere.....just in case! :D

here ya go, Wallaby:

http://www.geocities.com/kayl3on/thu....thumbnail.jpg

it's our little cement block shed, for safe storage of animal feed sacks, tools, cement mixer, etc.

but I've learned from a friend that in New York City, bodega means something entirely different, a little store:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodega

and quite amusingly, in mi esposo's first language, bodega means brothel !!

he's from Poland, and he kept laughing all the way through Mexico, at the road signs...

"What's so funny, honey?" I enquired...

whereupon, he informed me that he was laughing at the sign Curva Pelligrosa (dangerous curves, en Espanol)

well, the "curve" part translates to Polish as a VERY bad word!

:D

This has got to be the most interesting (and fun!!:D) hijack I've ever read!!

This begins with Gazelle's horrible LP experience and is now at the point of a Polish house of ill repute!! :holysheep:

AND. . . . Kay is hoarding duct tape for Empathy Man's next big adventure!! :yikes:

actually, Kay was deviously plotting a plausible mechanism whereby our dear empathetic PAL can suddenly acquire DOUBLE VISION.

and busily designing a suitable eyepatch...

yesterday, coming home (as a passenger in the truck), I realized there were TWO (slightly offset) roads coming AT me!

thus, I am now sporting part of mah schweeetie's Halloween costume.....

can I "Arrrrrggggggggghhhhhh" over in this thread?

after all, it's Piratically Correct, isn't it?

I mean, now that it's irretrievably jacked to the moon and back, via some anonymous bodega, with a pit stop in a brothel, and bypassing a BOA ??

up next... I'm-a gonna whang chung!! ol EM's calves, repeatedly!

:D

It is not obvious what it is when you have eye problems...so don't worry...it does NOT look like a bald eagle at first glance. :p

She'll drink anything...and she likes her coffee decaf! Don't let her fool ya! There's no such thing as strong decaf! :p

You know what, this I believe. Count me in...you 3 need a chaperone! LOL!

;)

Well, just apply that duct tape at a "sensitive spot" on EM's body then rriiippppppppp it off ever so slowly and I'd say that ole' EM's eyes will cross without any problem! :yikes:

Just a short acquaintance and you know me so well.... Lumley's Necroscope series has nothing on me!




Well said wussy woman who drinks her large hint of sugary flavored CoffeMate with just enough coffee to turn it slightly beige.

I've made pots of decaf so strong that it's turned people away. HA!! (take THAT and see if ya can drink it out of a Lab mug (and I don't mean a puppy face or a beaker))


Oh sure, couldn't ask ME, could you? It's MY thread! I see how it is....


OMG, the first thing that came to mind was bodega was a little store, like a corner neighborhood shop. Then I thought, that's stupid, she doesn't have one of those on her property. My next thought was that hey, maybe it's some sort of place where they keep their "stores." Ok, not too shabby a guess!

Then again, one never knows what you actually grow in Belize. How 'bout dem brownies?

Tell su esposa that I know how to tell him to go do very bad things to a horse in Polish and that I can make a mean halupki.



Yes, we've walked the plank around the original topic many times. We've bypassed cows and spoons, hinted at deism, and con-stricted K's screen from the inside out and the theory about what can fit through certain holes. I'd say that the brothel fits perfectly in there as does the Curva Pelligrosa. Hmm.... What a treasure trove of golden nuggets of wisdom and imagery we've contained into one measly thread.

Ever use the corn starch Argo? Well, I use it to thicken up my gravy. Used to drive my son nuts when I'd use it because I'd walk around the kitchen and all over the first floor going "how do you thicken gravy" "AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGggo" Then I'd do a "Yo, ho, ho" (which is even funnier when you consider the alternative bodega meaning) and return to cooking.

Poor kid, he still talks to me. And better yet, he keeps his hair cut really short--the fuzzy top short kind of haircut--and lets me rub his head casually in public.

His fiance says now she knows where he gets it from. 'Bout busted a gut the first time she told me how the boy runs after her mom and dad in public (he lives with them whilst going to school) and saying loudly in his best disturbed child voice (he's 6' tall), "Mmmmmoooommmm!!! Daaaaaaady!!! Waaaaaaaiiiiiiitttt..........Why do you always try to leave me behind?" He's asked curious things like, "What do you use little pie crusts for." But you gotta love a kid who likes Monty Python and gets his mom a T-shirt with "I fart in your general direction" on it. :D


EM would be Walking Like an Egyptian if you did the Wang Chung calf routine. But you might get 4.3 for style and 5 for performance.

I'm thinking if you went with us, we'd witness a full, all-out brawl on an airplane, see a fuel truck that says "tanked plane fuel" (not a good sign), and have the plane pull up at the last minute a few times for landing because the air traffic controllers messed up and tried to land us on an occupied runway. PLUS, we'd get lunch or dinner and YOU would end up with a piece of playing card or something in your food and blame it on me.

So did the jury ever come in? After your fun-filled experience, do you have bands?

Medical records should deliver to me sometime in the near future my test results. I'm hoping that they deign to wait until after all the results are in. Surprisingly enough, the doc's been MUM about what's going on.

Gosh, Gretantalizing, you know how to bring a perfectly hijacked thread back to it's humble beginnings. Party pooper.... But it's a dirty job, and someone has to do it.

I'll keep ya posted on whether it's a brass band or just a punk rock band.

*inhales deeply*

pardon me?

:D

lol, and MY son gifted me with a shirt that says:

INSANITY is HEREDITARY

You Get it From Your Kids!

*kay skips off, singing a medley consisting of The Bangles, and ol' Monty*

Always look on the bright side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing

swiftly segues into:

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh

;) :winky: ;) :wink: ;) :wink: ;) :winky:

:D


Yep, that's one of my favorites too. ;)

And now, for something completely different:

Then again let me tell you about my son singing along to the Monty Python tape in my car when my 90 year old grandmother was in the front seat. It was fine when he sang The Lumberjack Song. It was great when he sang the Spam song. But I almost peed myself when I realized that my grandmother (who was a bit hard of hearing) was intently trying to listen to my son when he was singing, "Sit on my face and tell me that you love me....." He got to the "life will be fine if we both...." line and I quickly popped out the tape. A bit of a delayed reaction, but when you're stunned that will happen!


I like the bumper sticker that says:
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons... for you are crunchy & good with ketchup

(Remember the candy "Crunchy frogs"? "If we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy would it?")


And then there is my personal favorite bumper sticker:
You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me!



You should have seen my grandson's face when I said to him, "And now for something completely different: a man with three buttocks." He's pretty smart for a 9 year old and said, "A guy with three butts?" Aaaah.... I sense another convert.....


Oh, you really need to listen to David Peel and the Lower East Side's one album that's decorated very prettily with plant material. Personal favorites on that album are Happy Mother's Day, Here Comes a Cop, and the plant material song. :D VERY '60s, but VERY funny! Kind of like listening to The Chad Mitchell Trio sing the Hip Song (valuable lesson in that song).

Oh yeah
Well, for a long time now
I've been aware
That I'm so hip
The rest of the world is square
Now I'll tell all you people
And just take my tip
It doesn't pay to be too hip


:)

I am dying here...thanks Greta for that touch of reality!

And How would YOU know? You are never awake when I drink MY coffee...:p

And my LAB mug is just fine for drinking coffee out of, thank you very much!

I've been known to be on aircraft where there've been fights, but I've not been involved! I've also been on aircraft that have been air-to-air refueled...that was an experience. As for runway incursions...hmmm...I cannot be blamed for those, strictly weather related!

As for food with foreign objects...haven't had that pleasure lately! Maybe it's time for a road trip --- Oh Holly? Wanna have dinner?

What is a bodega anyway? I always thought it was the neighborhood store! LOL!

Gazelle, I brought the only one of my children that I actually gave birth to, up on Monty Python, The Goon Show.....and The Rocky Horror Movie Show.

For some reasons other parents thought me a bit strange..... :Scratch-Head: especially when their darlings reported back to their parents that we'd stayed up until after midnight watching Rocky, and "Koala" had made costumes for us all ....provided lighters, water pistols, and newspapers (for protection from "the rain"), and their dearly beloveds knew all the words to all the songs.........:rolleyes:

And that was when they were in their early school years, still having sleepovers.....:D


"You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me!"....strangely enough (or not as the case may be...) is my signature on an Ozzie forum! :)

And I've only been in love with Tim Curry in high heels forever!

Brad?

Janet?

Dr. Scott!


There's a light.....


Meatloaf again!

Rocky!!

Uh!!


Let's Do the Time Warp Again!

Riff-Raff.

Um.... I LIVED that for approximately 100 showings in the movie theatre.

Poor boy.... my son's not yet seen it. Now I know what to get him!

<Great minds think alike!>


And the Goonies! Rocky Road!!!

I named my bunny rabbits Damnit Janet, and Brad.

:D

and their offspring is, naturally, named Riff-Raff.

:D

it is in NYC.

but not here... where it means shack-that-holds-stuff-that-doesn't-fit-in-the-house.

:cool:

I'm up for dinner. Let's skip a certain establishment up north of me where they kick you out at quite an early hour (what was it - 9PM?) and because of that, the only place you can get pics of your party together is in the ladies room....

You'd never have me going in there, sounds like a perfect place for snakes to hide!

Naturally. Unless it was a dumb bunny but looked good and then you could have named it Rocky.

:cool:

Hmmm..... I like you more and more. You're just as sick and twisted as I am.

You just want to walk into a place where they know you instantly just because you're you. It'd probably be even better if people get into an accident right after you've come out of the restaurant--free entertainment.

Bathroom pics? Sounds like a trend starter. I'll have to remember that next time I'm out.

Hmmm...bathroom pics? I have some of those!

Be careful Anne, the voices talk to Gazelle, too...and I think she has conversations with them! :p

The voices can only get through if she forgets her Reynolds aluminum foil hat!:eek::D:p

here ya go:

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1092/0000336xa4.jpg

Cayo, you been hacking my computer again??

Might I direct your attention to the Bible of Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie forums: http://zapatopi.net/afdb/

Be sure to read carefully as there is majorly important information on building, usage, debate between aluminum v. tin, style, and also testimonials to the efficacy of these hats.

I have only thing to say.....LMAO!!!! :D

yes'm, I is.

RiffRaff turned out to be female, and is now preggers, as well as that sl*t Janet.

gonna name the babies (due soon) Frank, Furter, Colombia, Rocky, Magenta, and Meatloaf.

:D

ROF Cayo!

more like scorpions and tarantulas... never seen a snake in dere.

but rest assured, I look VERY carefully where I put my hands and feet.

:D:eek::D

ooops, wrong thread...

sorry.

:lol:

O.K., wait a minute!

If the presence of O-bands isn't going to change his mind, then why does he want to see if they are there??! Just for fun?? Whose fun? His fun??? 'Cause it didn't sound like you had any fun at all!!

Each test result should be a piece of a puzzle. But if he plans to throw away the puzzle piece before he even sees it...and getting that puzzle piece is going to be painful...WHY GET IT TO BEGIN WITH???????

I strongly debated the use of tests when it wasn't going to change his mind about things. But I went ahead anyway.

And yes, I agree with you about the puzzle pieces. I suppose I rationalized the "getting the tests done" again part of it because maybe they'll show the same thing the other tests did. It's been 5 years since the first set of tests; maybe some of them bear repeating. The neuropsych and the spinal MRIs do for sure.

So I'm waiting for results. I know what they said before, but this is worse. Worse because I'm worried they won't now show what they did before. With the first set I was just worried that they wouldn't show anything and convince my neuro that I was nuts--that nothing was wrong with me when I knew there was.

It's confusing (again) and it's PO'd me (again). I don't want to feel this way about it AGAIN!

:Demonstration: CLASSIC MISDIRECTION ALERT :Doh:




Do you eat your bunnies? Do you have leftovers if you do? (see where this is going?) Poor Meatloaf.......


ROFLMAO---- Too bad you aren't going to name one of the babies Beans too. You'd have Frank & Beans. (oh and you could ostensibly have Beanie babies then too...)
