Are you drunk?

***Earniel*** · 10-06-2007, 06:07 PM

No, but by the sound of it, you are on something quite stronger.

Might I suggest a site then - : http://cuteoverload.com/
It's updated daily and has all sorts of schnorgly critters.

Lotesse · 10-06-2007, 06:55 PM

Oh my god!! Thank you so much BoP for all these fantastic animal sites you keep giving me! Did you see the donkeh? That gave me my first laugh of the day just now! How awesome is THAt, the donkeh! Good, now I can have a bit of positive energy for tonight's gruel-fest. Grazie, Bella!!

BeardofPants · 10-06-2007, 07:16 PM

NM teh donkeh - checkit the bunnikins. *rofl*

edit: oh, and it's scientifically proven and ever'thing that looking at cute animal pics is good for depression. For real.

Sweet, I hope I pack a punch, with a touch of fruityness on the way down.

I'm happy I'm ALIVE.

I'm happy there's autumn break now! It's so nice to do nothing for a change.

***Tessar*** · 10-07-2007, 01:25 PM

I GOT THE SPAMALOT SHEET MUSIC!!!! HEEEEEE!!!!

.... *ahem*

What. Ever happened. To my part?

It was exciiiiiiiiiting at the start... now we're halfway through act two, and I've had nothing yet.... TO DO! I've been off stage for faaaar too long! It's ages siiiiiince I haaaaad a song!

This is one unhappy Diva! The producers have deceived him! There is nothing... I can sing... from my... heaaaaaaaaaaart.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO MY PART?!!?!?

***Tessar*** · 10-07-2007, 11:28 PM

I spent two and a half hours helping take down the set for the school play/musical I went to see today.

It was great! I definitely think I'll look into getting a job as a stagehand if I can... I mean, it was exhausting physical work, the people were sort of jackassish, there were diva attitudes flying left and right... but... you know... I sort of didn't mind

. It reminded me of when I used to do it when I was younger at another theater, but this time I didn't mind the divas and jerks... I used to not be able to handle that.

God I love the theater. Why wasn't I born with an amazing voice and an ability to act? I would do opera or broadway in a heartbeat.

I'm going to try out for a part in the chorus or as a bit role in whatever they put on next semester!

***RÃan*** · 10-10-2007, 04:53 PM

Happy - we got to "arch" (as my son calls it) on Monday (Colombus day holiday) for the first time since we moved! (IOW, do some archery) I found a nice little indoor range, and the people were really nice and only charged us for the adults. Considering there were 2 adults and 7 kids, that was a big savings!

Anyway, I offered to teach my sis-in-law and her 4 kids (ages 6, 7, 12, 14) - yes, the kids that I've vented about in the venting thread, how they're out of control (except when they're in the care of my husband and me - we make them behave), so I had to be very firm ("You sit here on your bottom until an adult says you can get up") but they loved it. Frankly, I think they like having an adult actually control their behavior - well, I know they do, because they really like being around us, and they just seem to relax and have fun, knowing that we're in charge, unlike around their parents (sadly

) where whoever yells the loudest usually wins, or if you're not seen, then you can do it.

Anyway, they responded great - everything was safe (I made a big point that these are weapons, just like the guns we shoot) and they really loved it - especially when the boys found a life-sized bear target - I"m talking a 3-d target rubber bear! Of course they busted up whenever an arrow hit in, let's say the boxer-brief zone

.

I only got to shoot 2 rounds, because I was so busy helping everyone (thank goodness for my older son, who also helped the two oldest cousins), but I was very pleased at how I shot - it's been almost a year since we've shot, and I grouped pretty well

There's an outdoor range a little farther away, and it has a pistol range, too, so we'll probably go there soon. Yay for archery! I love it!

I'm sure that's true. I think everyone respects a world with reasonable limits. They're lucky to have someone who can set those.

Nice to see you around!

I was looking at hobbit houses today. Plotting new landscaping...

Nautipus · 10-10-2007, 06:35 PM

Well, since this is the happy thread I thought I'd put this here.

this

It is incredibly stupid, but very funny, if you watch the whole thing.
And when I say stupid I mean absolutely, horribly, grotesquely stupid. But almost as funny.

BeardofPants · 10-10-2007, 06:57 PM

I don't think I'll ever those 3.45 minutes back...

Nautipus · 10-10-2007, 07:04 PM

I told you it was dumb.....a friend of mine shanghaied me into watching it. Apparently it's acctually a drinking game. Every time they say "Charlie" you have to take a drink.

Pytt · 10-17-2007, 12:58 PM

We wrote small notes (anonymous) about what we like about everyone in class over autumn break, and delivered them on monday, and I got so many nice notes! It cheered me up immensely! I feel like such a great guy!
