The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[Jestgar]

I think the Hobbit and LOTR are all one book, really, because it's all the same story, it's not even a series, it's just one big beautiful story. I think he just broke it up cuz you can't fit that many pages in one binding.

So, what? I have to come up with three more books now

I'll have to think on it.

[curlyfries]

Hey, I have a question to pose to you all, since I know so many are readers....if you could make a list of your top 5 must read books what would they be (and why, totally optional)?????

I like to read a lot, but just for amusement.......nothing profound or life-changing.

I've read some of the ones from Oprah's book club, but.....yawn

However, there was one book that I thoroughly enjoyed and have read several times.....

Nobody Nowhere, by Donna Williams, It's an autobiography of an autistic woman.

Maybe it's just because I have worked with autisitc kids and it gave me a lot of insight into how their minds work.

Five???......sorry, no can do.

OMG

Weezee has knocked over the HUGE trash can outside a second time. I don't know how she does it, but now she's an expert, and there is no other place to put it.

she's eaten ALL the beans.

also some leftover shredded cheese, and I don't even KNOW what else. Her little dingo head smells like garbage, am going to wash her face now.

I now have to put the lawnmower in front of the can, but I am sure she can still figure out a way to knock it over.

Am now considering having to drill bolts into the STUCKO wall and chain the can to it.

SHEESH.

Yeah, I need another 70-pound dog like I need a hole in me 'ead.

Julie, have you read Cold Mountain? it's one of my favorite American novels, a great love story (the movie was just so-so) but......you either love it or hate it.......

I know you're reading Love in the Time of Cholera, that is a favorite.

I LOVED The Glass Castle......true story and couldn't put it down.

LOVED Angela's Ashes........should be required reading in American high schools, I think........

gotta go wash a dingo head now.

[DingoGirl]

*snort*

so......I'm watching a movie and reading and stuff........and Weez walks over and sits next to me and just lets out a huge, pathetic whine......it's not the nasal, whistling whine.....but the harrumph-ing, moaning, really pitiful and dramatic/emergency kind that she uses for very important situations....(usually signifies boredom from having missed a day of orchard walking but - we had a HUGE walk today)

and I know exactly what it means......she has a miserable tummy-ache.

dear gawd! could be a long night.......

:lol:

she's SUCH a WEASEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crap.. . . . . . . . what is UP wif this Weezie?? She needs an intervention.. . . .. ...perhaps a sponsor... . . . ....but you do realize, Soooozie, that she must hit bottom, and admit that she has is powerless over the effects of garbage, before she can begin to work through this.. .. . . . .

My favorite American novel is Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. I've read it many times. An unbelievable work. Julie, if you've never read it, it is truly rewarding!

:lol: :lol:

she DOES NEED to call upon her Higher Power, that is FO' SHO!!!!!!!!!! she is miserable and still whining......gads.

Em - I read Grapes of Wrath a few years ago..........I am living in the very same Valley where most of the Dust Bowl Oakies settled, in fact. Such a poignant novel but.......the ending..........OMG......and the sucking on the teat........it ruined the whole book for me.

but I did LOVE East of Eden, as lived in Monterey also, and that took place in the Salinas Valley, right near Monterey.......

my dad was a HUGE Steinbeck fan, and I have all of his first edition books...... (ponder selling them all of the time )

I bungee cord mine shut to keep out the raccoons.

Um.......okay.........am going to have to post an av of me trash can.........no bungee-ing possible, methinks....... it's not those metal kind - it's a giant plastic thing......was pondering duct tape but - Weezee with her little raccoon hands and devil teef can surely undo this......

<scratching head>

Perhaps Sooozie needs to bungee up the Weez.. . . ...... ..

:lol:

yes, am going to BUNGEE THE WEEZ.........

OMG - have to now put EVERYTHING away.......figure out how to keep her out of cupboards.......etc. she is getting WILDLY clever with her binge-ing antics........dragged her food bin into the living room, and ate its contents - WHAT IN HELL IS GOING ON????????????

[Green12]

Perhaps Sooozie needs to bungee up the Weez.. . . ...... .. .

OMG!!!!!!

This gave me the giggles!!!

(mini totem)

Am watching Jimmy Kimmel's pre Emmy special and he had Michael Phelps on as his first guest. He said the info about his diet going around out there is WRONG . He doesn't eat that much at all he said, not 12,000 calories, not even 8,000- 10,000, but he did say he eats whenever he wants and whatever.

I still would love to have that luxury.....I can just think about food and put on a pound

Thanks for all the book suggestions, I added them to my list. I don't remember a thing I read in high school (all those required readings that everyone should read like The Odyssey ) which bums me out (and long story, I think maybe undiagnosed learning disabilities, or maybe undiagnosed celiac brain fog )..... so I want to go back and read all of those top books like To Kill A Mockingbird, Grapes of Wrath, etc.

Susie, I actually loved the movie Cold Mountain (one of my favorites) so I'll add that book to my list.

Is anyone going to read the new Oprah book club selection, she just announced it Friday... The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, it's supposedly about a dog, or surrounding a dog?!

[elye]

She is miserable and still whining......gads.

....... . And shaking? It's withdrawal...... . . . .

........I am living in the very same Valley where most of the Dust Bowl Oakies settled, in fact. Such a poignant novel but.......the ending..........OMG......and the sucking on the teat........it ruined the whole book for me.

Gah! Great ending! So richly stark, pathetic and symbolic of the raw hope that glimmers quietly.... ... ....

I WANNA LIVE THERE! Or at least visit....East of Eden was terrific, as was Cannery Row. .... . ... . .I wanna see these places! Must work on this.. . ......... . .

...... it's not those metal kind - it's a giant plastic thing......was pondering duct tape but - Weezee with her little raccoon hands and devil teef can surely undo this......

Oh, Lord. .. . ya don't wanna be doing that. Stepford will be trotting over with her paint can.. . ....

[Green12]

I believe the last time he actually posted we were dicussing female things that would make a grown man blush.

(What was it that we were discussing, anyway?)

Lisa, take yer pick. It was prolly boobs, or gynecological exams....

Gahh! ME?? Skinny Minnie, nuh-uh. .. . . .......

*snort*

so......I'm watching a movie and reading and stuff........and Weez walks over and sits next to me and just lets out a huge, pathetic whine......it's not the nasal, whistling whine.....but the harrumph-ing, moaning, really pitiful and dramatic/emergency kind that she uses for very important situations....(usually signifies boredom from having missed a day of orchard walking but - we had a HUGE walk today)

Is anyone going to read the new Oprah book club selection, she just announced it Friday... The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, it's supposedly about a dog, or surrounding a dog?!

Jules, I am a little worried about this book......I STILL have not recovered from Old Yeller in third grade (now THAT book should be REMOVED from children's reading lists ). Have to find out if there's anything sad w/ this dog........so you read it first, okay?

Oh no!! Bean Binge + Piggy Dingo=Poo Crimes

:lol: phorogot to say last night how much this li'l sentence cracked me UP

there was a vomit crime during the night.....2:30 a.m. I was awakened to wretching, followed by a small pile of undigested, UN-CHEWED, whole beans on her blanket. :vomitface: so we cleaned that up and got a fresh blankie......then lots of whining during the night.

Many trips outside this morning for Weez.....I'm afeared to look at her poop.....

Love the av, Sooozie.....but I love yer caption more, and I insist that you keep active on many other threads while this is up, so every single non-silly will look and read, shake their heads and vow further to stay away from here. . . . ....

:lol: Oh yes, I"ll venture out of sillyville this week and see what I can do.........my goal will be to have someone actually ask me about my av, and say, "what are poo crimes?" *snort* :lol:
