You're taking her on a multi-state/international tour to visit all her favoUrite sillies!!!

Or better still--organizing a Sillie (re)union?????

In Hawaii

[happygirl]

Apparently, I am the elder in Sillyville, at the ripe age of 53. Gawd, some of the sillies are young enough that I could be their father. Go figure.

At least Amanda and I.....who else?

By the way, Amanda, you definitely have to go see Billy Joel. Great, great show.

Oh, Yyyyyesss!! Susie comes visiting!!

Gaaaahhhhh! Oh, I'm so there!

So, was lying on Jack's bed saying goodnight, and while we were chatting about his day, and what's happening in Sillyville, he decided to put out a second offer: (So funny...how and why does he come up with all this?)...

THREE MILLION, tax free. In return, must wear total green all day, every day, and there is NO choice allowed in style of supplied clothing. Two certainties exist: clothing will always be weather-appropriate, and always the right size.

OMG....what a weird child.....

I must carefully mull this one over.....

I'm too concerned about veto power over the *BRIGHTEST* of greens.

Any leeway there, Ripper?

[blueeyedmanda]

Ok....so on the news just now they were talking about $4 gas! They also said foreclosure rates are soaring, what is causing all the foreclosers though?

Besides the more catastrophic scenarios, people who bought at the peak & have thought they were building equity are finding they still OWE more than the house is currently worth.

Newspaper today said that, for the first time, there were more foreclosures than sales, in CA., in a single month.

[psawyer]

OMG....what a weird child.....

I keep thinking of the character played by Sterling Hayden in the 1964 movie, Open Original Shared Link. He was a mad US Air Force General named Jack D. Ripper, who sent the bombers on a nuclear attack mission against the USSR. It is a marvelous black comedy directed by Stanley Kubrick with wonderful performances by Peter Sellers in multiple roles.

Please warn us if Jack shows any sign of interest in joining the military or becoming a pilot.

On a more serious note, we had a different driver for this morning's delivery and everything went well.

[DingoGirl]

im not even aware of what he sings. only that he is supposed to be good, and the seats we got are damn near right in front! i suppose you could say we have the uvula seats !

darling, what ARE uvula seats? Will it hurt?

[edit - OMG - I think I JUST got it - - we are sitting so close we can see Boo-blay's tonsils etc - gahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

So........I've procured our beverage for our flasks..... ha ha ha ha ha........BTW the B&B (my preferred nightcap - second only to the absinthe I"ll never have) at Save Mart was freaking NINETEEN dollars - it's TWELVE at Trader Joe's (about 300 yards away in same parking lot). So....that was out as I was all errand-ed out todya........I have a surprise for Kissey.........bah ha ha ha - - will only say at this point that it was the liquor of choice for backpacking/camping trips and it DOES put hair on one's chest.........

(OMG - the play is "42nd Street" - - I am going to DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE - - but only Squats will know - - will keep all of this a secret from the two other couples.......v. funny, a little private joke between us and no doubt a marathon evening of pure torture for Dingy.......gaaaaaaaaawd....... )

<would love to freaking QUOTE everyone but not ALLOWED by this miserly forum> HARRUMPh!

Giah-net - - good news about your boy..........

Man, that must be wonderful. We've got one kind, La Messagere, and it's only available in Quebec. It's also, according to DH, no screaming hell. He now accompanies me in a nightly glass of dry white. He is slowly becoming a girly-man with this dietary change....lots more veggies through the day, very little bread, and HARDLY ANY PHARTING!! Five or six a day, mefinks.

Emily! This is OUTSTANDING news!!!!!!!!!! Girly-man. Get Thom to send you some absinthe.

OMG - today - driving around town, minding my own business.......thoughts drift to green, as they often do....... and I thought to meself - - now why did The Ripper come up with this green-garbed question, why green.......why the million dollars.........does he have a wee version of a Dingo Brain by chance? are these the things of which he thinks as he shampoos the carpets, or wipes up the butt-scoot residue? gahhhhhhhhhhhhh

****Mother of the Year*****

*snort*

oh dear gawd - Jess - your joke -

prior participation is a must ! and such sound advice should not go unheaded!

DARLING!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT?????!!!!!!!!!!!! does this actually mean.....do you even know WTH Tom was talking about? Because what you have just indicated is that we ARE having absinthe before the damned really wonderful play......... <no false hopes.....no false hopes.......>

so that you all are kept up to speed and mostly to tease SWDKisser... i thought i'd talk about an up coming soupflies i have planned for a few months from now.

the only clues that missy dingo is aware of is that it is after may and before october... that annieDingo gets to come along... it does not involve her cabin nor my mtn.

lil miss dingo had mentioned that it something that she wanted to do in one of our thousand ongoing conversations. she is really quite exited about it and tried to get me drunk last night to loosen me tongue !

oh................MA.............GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is NOT fair!!!!!!!! not fair a'tall!!!!!!!!!! What in hell did I say I want to do.........it can't be Hawaii, because Dingo Annie doesn't fly.......is it Ojai? is it........the Aurora Borealis? no......never told him about that............oh, BTW, Kissey ALSO asked me how easily it is to embarass me (nearly impossible to embarass me)......ALSO said he would LIKE for other people to be there..........

IS IT A SILLY REUNION?????????????? I have spoken of this fondly, many times.........

mygawd, this is how to drive a Dingy mad.............

...

Ooooooooohhhh......David....Do tell!.......

Yer secret's safe with us.......Honestly!

HOW in HELL can we get it out of him??????????????????????????? And WHY did he announce it last night???????????????????????

how do i know i can trust you !!

lets play it this way... you post your questions here. i will repsond with cold warm hot. there is an unlimited amount of questions until you either get bored, or you discover the truth of the secrete.

if you hit the nail smack dab on the head>>!>!>!>!!! i will respond in a private pm or email. because... of course... it's ultimately a surprise

Okay.......are we taking the Jeep, or the Jetta?

what clothing do I bring...........

is there a comfortable bed (it would behoove you to let this be affirmative )

Is there a tent involved?

IS THERE GLUTEN-FREE FOOD?????????????? and ABSINTHE??????????????

You're taking her to Hawaii?

that WAS in fact mentioned last night!!!!!!!!!! but - Annie is going, so this cannot be.....

You're taking her on a multi-state/international tour to visit all her favoUrite sillies!!!

please..........oh please................oh PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ KISSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD GRIEF...........PAUL............I'M 66.

HECK I COULD SOME ONES GRANDMOTHER ON HERE..............

OH MAN,,,,,,,,,,,,I FEEL SO OLD..............sniff.........

I am continually shocked and amazed that you are 66......you have the heart and soul and bright spirit of a young girl. We love you to death.

Oh, Yyyyyesss!! Susie comes visiting!!

OMG - now Jack's upped the ante to THREE million? but the same horrid green all the time?

David, how do you feel about seeing me in solid green for the rest of our lives? It's worth three million, tax-free...............

I'll SURELY GO MAD FROM THIS SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<p.s. Kissey's at karate so I can talk about him now>

[tom]

So....that was out as I was all errand-ed out todya........I have a surprise for Kissey.........bah ha ha ha - - will only say at this point that it was the liquor of choice for backpacking/camping trips and it DOES put hair on one's chest.........

Wish I thought I had a good guess .. ...Tequila's not so good for stealth nipping, what w/ the discarded lime rinds & inevitibly spilt salt .. . Schnapps, Bailey's & Amaretto seem follically-challenged .. . .. .

DARLING!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT?????!!!!!!!!!!!! does this actually mean.....do you even know WTH Tom was talking about? Because what you have just indicated is that we ARE having absinthe before the damned really wonderful play......... <no false hopes.....no false hopes.......>

Be sure to let it get cloudy before imbibing. The scent blossoms and flavor . ...ummmmm .. . ..complicates - in a good way.

oh................MA.............GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is NOT fair!!!!!!!! not fair a'tall!!!!!!!!!! What in hell did I say I want to do.........

Oh ROFL!!!!!!!!

But I must admit my estimate of 4 parts titillation to 1 part invasion-of-PRIH-vih-see was off by at least a factor of two. (HA!!! Snuck in math!!!)

Okay.......are we taking the Jeep, or the Jetta?

what clothing do I bring...........

Get a hold of yourself girldude!!!!!! It may not be until .. .what was it? October???

He does know how to roll out an amusing topic, no doubt about that!

[Darn210]

what clothing do I bring...........

Not to worry, The Ripper shall provide all your weather appropriate, correctly fitting, GREEN clothing.

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies!!!!

Emily where ARE you I can't see you lurking???? My morning seems incomplete now

Tis a nippy morning out there. I was shivering as I walked to work....not a fun idea let me tell you So now I am holding down the fort my coworkers went to Grand Rounds.

How is everyone else doing this morning? Are you all in Silly Moods?

[elye]

Good Moooorrrrninng, Ma Sillies!

I'm always somewhat relieved when I check our thread in the morning and there hasn't been a mad flurry of posts the night before, as when this happens the very real possibility exists of me being late for work responding...

I'm too concerned about veto power over the *BRIGHTEST* of greens.

Any leeway there, Ripper?

Nope. No wiggle room, here. Could be olive green for a day, emerald, neon....just gotta put it all on and wear it. All day. For three million...

I would do it.

On a more serious note, we had a different driver for this morning's delivery and everything went well.

I was thinking about the truck scenario with you, Peter. Thank goodness this driver was somewhat competent, or sober.

(OMG - the play is "42nd Street" - - I am going to DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE - -

This could be much worse, Susie....it's a good story, and great music...simply close your eyes, ignore the people shouting scripted words and then bursting into song, and just listen to the wonderful arrangement. Or....bring your iPod, and quietly install the earphones as the curtains are rising, and listen to your own tracks.

- - now why did The Ripper come up with this green-garbed question, why green.......why the million dollars.........

I know, I know......What does it all MEAN........???

HOW in HELL can we get it out of him??????????????????????????? And WHY did he announce it last night???????????????????????

And What does THIS all mean...?

...Kissey announces this mysterious guessing exercise...Simultaneously, The Ripper announces a second big-money offer.....

...No such thing as coincidences.....

....Are they in cahoots? Kissey and the Ripper (Now there's our next garage band moniker)?....What are they planning???!

I am continually shocked and amazed that you are 66......you have the heart and soul and bright spirit of a young girl. We love you to death.

Judy, I must say that I was so surprised when you divulged that you are 66. You present like a young girl!!

[jerseyangel]

HECK I COULD SOME ONES GRANDMOTHER ON HERE..............

OH MAN,,,,,,,,,,,,I FEEL SO OLD..............sniff.........

That's enough of this grandmother talk, Missy! You're one of the coolest people I know

Even Better Idea, Patti I'll sit by you on the plane? Where we flying out of?

Allentown would be best for me--much less busy than Philadelphia. Probably too far for you?

So, was lying on Jack's bed saying goodnight, and while we were chatting about his day, and what's happening in Sillyville,

Wow--shows how much Sillyville has permeated our real lives.

Judy, I forgot about you. You're not OLD, you are elder and wiser than many of us.

See Judy--and PeOter knows everything

Ok....so on the news just now they were talking about $4 gas! They also said foreclosure rates are soaring, what is causing all the foreclosers though?

Another reason is that lots of people got mortgages with no downpayments/100% financing--and most of these loans were ARM's. As the payments adjust upward, it's hard to keep up with the higher payment and if they try to sell, they find that they actually owe more than the house is worth presently.

[jerseyangel]

t can't be Hawaii, because Dingo Annie doesn't fly.......

Shoot--I forgot about Annie for a second.....did you manage to get it out of him last night? I'm sure you have your ways....

[blueeyedmanda]

Allentown is just as close....but I guess we will not be flying now...Road Trip!

Sillyville does come into my real life quite often, the other day I was at working sitting here, and it got me thinking wonder what the Sillies are doing at their houses

John and I are house hunting. The prices on quite a few houses have fallen since no one has been purchasing them.

[jerseyangel]

John and I are house hunting. The prices on quite a few houses have fallen since no one has been purchasing them.

I think it's a great time to buy--prices are down and there is a decent size inventory on existing homes.

[Jestgar]

This could be much worse, Susie....it's a good story, and great music...simply close your eyes, ignore the people shouting scripted words and then bursting into song, and just listen to the wonderful arrangement. Or....bring your iPod, and quietly install the earphones as the curtains are rising, and listen to your own tracks.

Or some sports game.

When my mom turned sixty she informed me that she was now in her "S"s. I like the idea. Covers a lot of ground.

So I'm in my "F"s.

[DingoGirl]

If he says "in a way" my guess is a tour of St. George's Distillery in Alameda!!.

Now this is a fine idea. Will phile it away for future purposes.

BTW Ptaum - - Kissey and I are leaving for San JOse this Saturday before 9 a.m to pick up a rug and some other home accoutrements from my friend in Willow Glenn. That's fun, right? But not so much.......we have to INSTANTLY turn around to be at a wine tasting in Madera that runs from 12 to 4. So no absinthe, no Tom, we barely have 15 minutes to say hi to my "family" there..............but we'll be back.

Reserve acct names Jack the Ripper & The Ripper tuh-DAYYYYYYYYY so they're not gone once he's old enough!!!!!

this actually IS a capitol (or is it capital?) idea. Mrs. Lye really should do this, do it for us, do it for Jack, DO IT FOR CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How is everyone else doing this morning? Are you all in Silly Moods?

Hi Amanda. Well-rested and totally silly. Also relieved to see that there aren't millions of posts...........too much to do today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This could be much worse, Susie....it's a good story, and great music...simply close your eyes, ignore the people shouting scripted words and then bursting into song, and just listen to the wonderful arrangement. Or....bring your iPod, and quietly install the earphones as the curtains are rising, and listen to your own tracks.

:lol: such a brilliant idea, why didn't I think of it? no one will notice, I am sure.

Kissey and The Ripper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! excellent new band of the Silly Yak Cult Thread...... First big hit: "It's Not Easy Being Green....."

Shoot--I forgot about Annie for a second.....did you manage to get it out of him last night? I'm sure you have your ways....

No, that Stinker is staying mum about it. Alas, I didn't try too hard. It's kinda fun wondering about surprises............did I mention he says there are TWO? driving me mad....

So I'm in my "F"s.

*snort* Yes, we can be in our "F"s for two decades!!!!!!! brilliant.

[tom]

Good Mooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrnin' TickleTowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn!!!!!

I keep thinking of the character played by Sterling Hayden in the 1964 movie, Open Original Shared Link. He was a mad US Air Force General named Jack D. Ripper,

Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhh .. ...been so long since I've seen that. I DO remember the Sellers' hilarity!

Please warn us if Jack shows any sign of interest in joining the military or becoming a pilot.

.......is it Ojai? is it........the Aurora Borealis? no......never told him about that............

OJAI??????

Didn't realize there was goodness there.

Aurora? <shakes head> Annie wouldn't like the magnetic polar upper atmosphere.

oh, BTW, Kissey ALSO asked me how easily it is to embarass me (nearly impossible to embarass me)......ALSO said he would LIKE for other people to be there..........

ACK!!!!!!!! Head for the HILLLLLLLSSS!!!!!!

It's a "Susie Sioux!! This is Your Life" production!!!!!!!!!!!

But hmmmmmmm .. .. the "other people there" MUST be a good clue .. . .

....did you manage to get it out of him last night? I'm sure you have your ways....

Oh no way .. . ..he's not keeping a secret, per se, he's keeping a *SURPRISE* surprising!!!!

[elye]

When my mom turned sixty she informed me that she was now in her "S"s. I like the idea. Covers a lot of ground.

So I'm in my "F"s.

This is a terrific categorization idea.

I'm officially into my "F"s.....

And I miss my "T"s.....

[nikki-uk]

Blasted emoticon bustedness!!!!!!!!

Oh, Yyyyyesss!! Susie comes visiting!!

Oh pleeeeeze!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so bored of my exsisting 'real' friend (cheeky wink)

THREE MILLION, tax free. In return, must wear total green all day, every day, and there is NO choice allowed in style of supplied clothing. Two certainties exist: clothing will always be weather-appropriate, and always the right size.

After much mullin' .......

The term right size is troubling me .......... I mean WHO determines the right size......*I* might be having a fat day and need to wear baggy emerald LEVI DUNGAREES (Thorm-us!!!!!!).......several days of starvation later and I will feel like a supermodel & want to sashay around in 'Buckingham' green capri pants (slightly bemused tilt of the head)

[edit - OMG - I think I JUST got it - - we are sitting so close we can see Boo-blay's tonsils etc - gahhhhhhhhhh!]

At least his nasal hair

So........I've procured our beverage for our flasks..... ha ha ha ha ha........BTW the B&B (my preferred nightcap - second only to the absinthe I"ll never have)

B+B ??

Bedtime beverage

Bawdy BehavioUr???

mygawd, this is how to drive a Dingy mad.............

Not to worry, The Ripper shall provide all your weather appropriate, correctly fitting, GREEN clothing.

...that's one less thing to worry about.....isn't it????

[DingoGirl]

OMG Sillies.

I have reconnected with an old friend - and she is an older friend also - just turned 65! The loveliest, chicest, most stylish woman - she taught me so much......she was my boss at the tasting room for half the time I was there, and became a very dear friend.

So, I had her over the other night, such fun, she lives in FrezNO and we had lost touch but she is back in my life. (her name is Jeremy)

Well, there is a secret goofball side to her that few know about. TRUE GOOF. The other night I was telling her about my sillies and the things we discussed - including phart shapes/sizes. She looks at me and says, don't you remember the names for farts I shared with you years ago?

So - here's her email in its entirety:

**********

TYPES OF FARTS

Fizz

Fazz

Fizzfazz

Poop

Anti-poop

Terret and.......

Rattler

Then, one thing noticed in the aging process:

Poppers and flappers, which come out of NOWHERE! No clue, no warning
