The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

I am scared to really stay there anymore. These people freak me out.

Wow...Amanda, I don't have any real advice or solutions to this one (do you have any sick beta fish? Problems with hovering form?)...but I'm sorry you have to live with that kind of stress. Has the yeti stayed with you yet? Check to see if there are any pet regulations for your building, and then we could ship him there. A massive, terrifying-looking beast can quell reprehensible, ghetto-type behavior, I would imagine...

[elye]

Got a question....

What's with the "post icons, (optional)" box on this reply page? The choices are the same emoticons under "show all", with a couple of tantalizing additions--our green guy, and a snazzy arrow. But if we choose one, doesn't show in our text.

It's kind of starting to make me a little crazy. Is Scott just teasing us, seemingly offering cool little guys and arrows, but AH! Nope...can't really use them! This is very poor emoticol.....

[blueeyedmanda]

He has stayed with us and he was allowed.

SO the manager of the complex who also lives there called the cops on them last night. I spoke with the cops this morning. They were very helpful. The kids and mom are being evicted and need to be out by 3/16. Thank Goodness!

I am almost on my way out the door, I am heading off to my moms, hoping to beat the snow. I cant wait to see her and the baby. I am off tomorrow too and will be spending it with my mom. :)

So I will check in with everyone later tonight or tomorrow night.

Have a good day!

Yay, great news!!!

You're on . . . I'm sure we'll all still be posting on this forum . . . I'll PM you when it's time to pick a joint.

..did someone say joint????.....can we smoke them in the home???.... ....what A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!

Hell, we'll be draggin' our own commodes around with us.

Careful you don't slop anything !

So, today's flurry of excitement over reports of Sarah being pregnant leaves me feeling compelled to share this little story.

..Of course Peter knows if a gal is pregnant (He shares powers with his wife)

EMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!..........WHAT is crawling out of the toilet????????????

I thought those were for when you make a new post...like a new thread. Don't know why they would show under reply though.

I think you can add them if you are starting a topic but now that I think about it, I don't know that they work anymore since Scott changed the format. I think I used the green guy when I started the green guy emoticon thread but he doesn't show up anymore . . . what a waste!!! Somebody should complain . . . you do it, Emily.

[DingoGirl]

Well...talk about warm and cozy...I'm lying on the couch with the laptop propped in front of me, and Gus is sprawled across my legs and lap, his massive curly head on my chest. Snoring.

ah, lurvely beast with sparkling breath!

my ghetto arse neighbors kids (whom I had vented about months ago on here) are setting off fireworks in the backyard..lighting them and tossing them out their bedroom window....these kids are 19yrs old...dont ya think they are a little old for that?????

she said ghetto arse

Amanda! Heinous!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad they are moving! I would be a bit careful the next few days, though, they could get really awful since they know they are leaving....

Is Scott just teasing us, seemingly offering cool little guys and arrows, but AH! Nope...can't really use them! This is very poor emoticol.....

:lol: Yes, Scott devises way to torture us - he especially likes to torture The Sillies.

EMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!..........WHAT is crawling out of the toilet????????????

Exactly what I was gonna ask.............

Good morning sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just have to say something......there is ONE very good thing that has resulted from Stinker's passing......THE PERFECT NIGHT"S SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Annie and I sleep through the night since there are no more panting/staring/whining interruptions and repeated trips outside from the dear old girl. So that is a good thing...........

carry on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Green12]

EMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!..........WHAT is crawling out of the toilet????????????

Yes, inquiring minds want to know!!!!!!!!!

Good news Amanda about the icky neighbors.

I brought up the missing Post Icons last week and only got 2 "What in hell"s in response!!!!!!

They used to show up at the start of any Post - maybe to start the line w/ the poster's name.

I wasn't sure if they were just missing for phone surfers or for everyone.

I miss them.

I DID practice sax yesterday for just the second time since moving.

Gotsta git me chops back.

(Playing well requires well-toned facial/mouthal muscles, mainly betw lower lip & chin.)

P.S. Emily's Tidy-Bowl scuba man MUST be Dad!!!!!!!

[Darn210]

P.S. Emily's Tidy-Bowl scuba man MUST be Dad!!!!!!!

Or a baby ruth formed to look like a person. . . ewwwww?

[tom]

Some things never change...we'll all be wizzened up old hags residing in the same retirement home, doing the trivia nights, seniors' yoga and euchre tournaments...and Tom will up in his apartment with his sax...

"wizzened up old hags"????

I like "wise, young-at-heart Sillies".

Can I at least bring the guitar downstairs??

OMG Janet!! Baby Ruth sculptures!!!! Almost spit coffee on that one!!

[nikki-uk]

Tom ...where have your chops gone????

Emily is posting - so all will be revealed as to whom is climbing out the bowl!!!

Ok, nothing to do with anything really BUT OMG LOOK at the size of this dog!!!!!!!!! (anyone else think he's cute? )

OMG...a bunch of stoned octogenarians....

EMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!..........WHAT is crawling out of the toilet????????????

Who else? Dad. Dunno which characrer he's playing...must ask him. Looks like he's got poop/pee all over him...quite grotesque, actually, isn't it?

what a waste!!! Somebody should complain . . . you do it, Emily.

A waste of terrific icons, indeed. Might be time for a new thread, complaining and asking, simply, Why? Scott will likely spot it, see the names of the responders and think, "Bah! It's simply those yahoos from the Silly thread...I have much more pressing issues to address than anything that could be troubling them".....

I just have to say something......there is ONE very good thing that has resulted from Stinker's passing......

I was thinking this all along, Susie, figuring that your nights are, at least, not interrupted...

I miss them.

...And this sums up our Silly Life...what do we miss? Deceased loved ones, offending food, the carefree magic of childhood? No...a couple of inaccessible emoticons for our frenzied text...

Hmmmm.....Are there treadmills for your lips?

[tom]

....and how we are no longer able to hover....

Hey!!!! Who the heck chose a home w/ nasty bathrooms in the 1st place?

I so want to open the window and scream "shut up" or anonymously call the police, but I'm scared it will get traced back to me

I tried to call 'em anonoymously (heehee Julie edited since yesterday ) once on some neighboUrs. Sadly, in response to their reluctance to come, at one point I used the phrase "whaddaya . ..gonna wait 'til he kills her??".

I'd used the word anonymous to start the call, but they CALLED BACK a few minutes after the 1st call ended!!

Now I know, or at least think I know, the way to be anonymous is to call the switchboard #, then get connected to Emergency Services or whatever. Hmmm maybe that wouldn't really work either.

Couple weeks later a SWAT Team was a few feet from my door!! Hearing commotion, I started to open my door, and quickly obeyed a command to stay inside.

The kids and mom are being evicted and need to be out by 3/16. Thank Goodness!

Yay!

I am almost on my way out the door, I am heading off to my moms, hoping to beat the snow. I cant wait to see her and the baby.

Tom ...where have your chops gone????

Hopefully not to the great beyond. They must be resurrected.

I used to be able to produce a big, fat, brash tone when needed or a soft breathy emotively mellifluous one, and everything else in between goldarnit!!!!!!

Gotsta git it back!!!!

Hmmmm.....Are there treadmills for your lips?

Oddly enough there is!!!

It's in the shape of a saxophone!!!!

In this case, we must send Peter as our envoy.....I don't think Scott would even be-LEEEVE or accept that he's a silly...........

*snooooooort* :lol:

frenzied text........

[DingoGirl]

I have to tell you guys what Stepford did.......

so yesterday about 5 p.m., Annie and I returned home. I went out to the mailbox, I actually had real clothing on for once rather than sweats/pj's (my normal slovenly attire for venturing out to get the mail).

So, Stepford comes out to check mail also, and she is in sweats/tennies. Now, do you think I would think anything of this outfit? Of course not - it pleased me. But, she actually commented on it - - had to make an excuse for her garb - said, "I'm dressed this way because I just went to Pilates."

Well, what I'm MOST shocked at is that she felt she had to explain her attire - - mygawd - she is ALWAYS dressed to the nines.....

so I looked at her and said - - "it comforts me to see you dressed this way - - it makes you seem like the rest of us."

she did laugh........but mygawd.......'tis most intimidating living next to such perfection........if she even SAW my house right now........

and with that, I must sigh off - - massive cleaning rampage to happen today.

[elye]

I used to be able to produce a big, fat, brash tone when needed or a soft breathy emotively mellifluous one, and everything else in between goldarnit!!!!!!

What has become of the Renaissance Man thou once were, Tom?

Oddly enough there is!!!

It's in the shape of a saxophone!!!!

AHHH!! This explains everything! Those guys in the Y weight room, standing together, wailin' away on tenors and altos....those instruments were cardio equipment!!

In this case, we must send Peter as our envoy.....I don't think Scott would even be-LEEEVE or accept that he's a silly......

Good thinking, Susie...we gotta send in Peter.....

so I looked at her and said - - "it comforts me to see you dressed this way - - it makes you seem like the rest of us."

....Well done!!

[Green12]

so I looked at her and said - - "it comforts me to see you dressed this way - - it makes you seem like the rest of us."

She's apologizing for looking like the rest of us on an average day in our sweats and workoutwear attire, or at least me. That's everyday for me

[dlp252]

Me too...I don't even wear NICE sweats or workout wear.

[nikki-uk]

She laughed - but she didn't really know why

Cleaning ramage

Me too...I don't even wear NICE sweats or workout wear.

Oh I know!!!!........ - I see ladies with fabulous matching trendy outfits at the gym......somehow mine all clashes, manky trainers, grEy socks (GAD!!! don't even want to tell you what my sports bra is like!! )

[Mtndog]

Must catch up but had to write about a new phrase I learned today (oh thank you great god of gmail). "Nolens volens". It means whether willing or unwilling.

As in:

1. Emily will measure the inseam of that Yeti nolens volens. (Somehow I think the yeti would be perfectly willing!).

2. You will pick up that log you left beside the toilet nolens volens.

I like that better than "whether you like it or not"....how about scaring your kids with "Clean that room nolens volens and I mean NOW! (Or clean that room before I NOLENS VOLENS your arse- clearly improper usage but sounds GOOD!).

It's also a classy way of saying willy-nilly!

[elye]

Nolens volens.....Excellent. I shall sprinkle my conversation with this expression effective immediately, and when the opportunity ariseth.

Willy-nilly? I've always understood this to mean "haphazardly; at random"....as in: We are a bunch of Willy-nilly Sillies.....!

...Must now take Gus out for his jaunt...it's -14....Nolens volens....

[DingoGirl]

Me too...I don't even wear NICE sweats or workout wear.

OMG - you should SEE what I wear whilst at home typing or working.....I actually DO run out to mailbox in such scroungy attire, speedy fast......like a stealthy, slovenly, ill-kempt middle-aged bullet.

To make up for this, I put makeup on EVERY SINGLE DAY, in case Stepford pops in, or in case there's a.....tsunami or something and I must dash out of my house....

(you think I am kidding - I am not )

Oh I know!!!!........ - I see ladies with fabulous matching trendy outfits at the gym......somehow mine all clashes, manky trainers, grEy socks (GAD!!! don't even want to tell you what my sports bra is like!! )

SPORTS BRA?????????????? Well, I don't even NEED one a'them. BAH!!!!!!!!!!!

<contemplating fabulous boob job to carry me into middle age - much more useful than new car, methinks>

nolens volens......must do etymological study on this phrase or can't use it satisfyingly and in good conscience.

[Mtndog]

Oh dear Sillies- I am saddened by the fact (fat?) that I have grown quite UHM...PLUMP since beginning Lyme treatment. Thirty pounds! That's what I get for doing something about nausea on a daily basis and unable to tolerate more than 5 foods at a time. And I can't go out an rin a mile so....you will ALL have to pledge to dedicate helping me laugh off the weight- get out your funnies!

I think snorting is worth 50 calories.

Guffawing is clearly 100.

Laughing out loud...eh...200

Snorting is 250. Ok let's get started!

Guffawing

. . . and we'll still be talking "poop".

Is talking poop like talking smack?

Ah, I miss having a live heating pad, lol!

Donna- Get thee a live heating pad (four legs is good, but two legs would be even better!

Check to see if there are any pet regulations for your building, and then we could ship him there. A massive, terrifying-looking beast can quell reprehensible, ghetto-type behavior, I would imagine...

Bah!!!!!!! Maybe you can get them to flee in terror before March if you get the yeti- he's a big teddy bear but WHAT A GROWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

..did someone say joint????.....can we smoke them in the home???.... ....what A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!

Thart comment was at least 200 calories!!!!!!! I think my hubby even lost weight when I read it to him!

I DID practice sax yesterday for just the second time since moving.

Tom- I didn't, uhm, know, you could practice for this Oh, right sax, sax.

Hmmmm.....Are there treadmills for your lips?

The image of this alone cracked me up! I'm going to start lifting weights with mine so that I can get a bigger pout (to go along with my bigger butt )

so I looked at her and said - - "it comforts me to see you dressed this way - - it makes you seem like the rest of us."

and with that, I must sigh off - - massive cleaning rampage to happen today.

Susie- Most excellent retort!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
