Roadtrip - Postcards from Death by Special FX

[Haggis]

Something seems...different.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Oooooo! It went dark all of a sudden... the sun disappeared (like you could tell down here in Oklafloodinghoma)... the earth shook... and now we're surrounded by soft blue-gray flickering hues and flat screen TVs....

Where are we, Haggis? I'm skeert!

Where are we, Haggis? I'm skeert!

I'm...I'm not sure. But I have this sudden craving for overpriced popcorn and a big box of Dots.

[Haggis]

On the other hand, I also feel like stripping down to my skivvies, grabbing a beer and scratching myself. Then again, I pretty much always feel like that.

:Wha:

wait, you're not that way right now?

is it possible that i'm the weird one?
na.

Oh, now THERE'S a mental image it'll take a gallon of bleach and and a cheese grater to scrub outta my brain...

[ChaosTitan]

Hey! No talking in the theater!

[Haggis]

Hey! No talking in the theater!

This must be a quiet forum.

[cray]

what are you all talking about down there?

[Haggis]

I'm calling the usher. Or changing channels. Or something.

[cray]

well, i tells ya, i don't see how this thread is going to get kilt if it keeps moving.

this road trip seems counterproductive

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Moving targets are harder to hit. ;)

I could ask Rolling Thunder to make a visit. He does owe me a favor. :e2teeth:

[Rolling Thunder]

what are you all talking about down there?

Hmmm. It appears I've crayated a monster. Time to go back to the lab?

[Haggis]

Hmmm. It appears I've crayated a monster. Time to go back to the lab?

Which would you prefer, black lab or golden?

http://www.stuffedanimals.com/v/productimages/mary_meyer/19920.jpg

[Rolling Thunder]

Golden would be fitting. :D

*saunters off towards Photoshop Laboratory*

[Rolling Thunder]

Well, cray 2.k9 is almost ready. Should I design the battery compartment in this manner or would that be, ya know, wrong? :D

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u270/Rllgthunder/craysdog.jpg

I sense a TV series here. The Six-Dollar Mutt. ;)

[Haggis]

Looks perfect to me. Go for it.

[cray]

you know, i was thinking,....
all this photoshopping, etc just seems like a lot of work.

we should just tend to more important things and leave everything as is -
the path of least resistance is often the right path despite the bum rap it receives.

You know, you're right, cray. Spot on, as it were. Except, of course, that the work is already done. And it would be such a shame to waste it. Surely you can appreciate that.

[Rolling Thunder]

I'm torn.

Cray obviously loves his new look and it is appropriate for the current forum; it really is a special fx.

Haggis, however, would like to see a devilish plot twist take shape; causing cray to experience some TV drama style angst.

Hmmm.

*now is the time to pitch your TV show ideas, based on the protagonist/antagonist themes above*

[Soccer Mom]

Whoot! Hang on guys! Just caught up with you. You didn't mean to ditch me around the the Cabaret did you? I didn't think so. Aren't you glad I caught up? Hey what's this? Who brought snacks? Can I have one? Oops. I took two, but I know y'all don't mind. Hey, let's sing 99 bottles of beer on the wall. Look! A shiny penny! Hey Thunder can I have a dollar so I can get some icecream or maybe a hot dog and...

http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/funny-pictures-ferris-bueller-squirrel.jpg

[cray]

isn't it best when the drama style angst that is wished upon someone is turned back upon the wisher of angst?


........ and besides i had a wonderful day "scarng" newbies.

[Rolling Thunder]

*gives Soccer Mom a dollar*

Okay. But don't get any of that crumbled mouse topping. You know it gives you nightmares.

[Soccer Mom]

:hops up and down:

Gee thanks! Ima get the kind with kibble in the cone and then I'm gonna run around block a few times cause I saw this really cool frog and if I find him I'm gonna put him in Cray's bed cause he squeals like a girl and it's really funny. Did anyone see where I put my flip flops and why do I only have one sock, even though I guess I don't need it with my flip flops which I totally left around here somewhere and OOOOOH GOTTA GO THAT'S THE ICECREAM TRUCK!

[Haggis]

*now is the time to pitch your TV show ideas, based on the protagonist/antagonist themes above*

Look at the big picture. Regular battery, small battery, large battery, golden lab. Protag is driven crazy. Does some unmentionable things to nOObs, etc. I'm seeing a weekly series, each week a different challenge--a different avatar to overcome. And the best thing is that it's all free. You can do it with a flip of your magic button. The key here is profit. It's all on the plus side, baby. Cheaper to produce, and more profitable than a reality show. :D

[Haggis]

Oh. And no more coffee for Soccer Mom.

[Rolling Thunder]

I invited the screen writers over to offer their ideas.

Um...Haggis? You might have to sedate SM if she doesn't settle down in an hour.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Who's got breakfast? I'm tired of popcorn... where's Soccer Mom? She could make us some waffles.

What're we watchin' today? Movies or TV? I don't like soap operas or game shows. How about something with Gerard Butler?! I loves me some Gerard Butler. Or Russell Crowe. 300 or Gladiator would be neato!

QUIET! I'm watching Dianne Sawyer. :LilLove:

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

She's on here, too. With Sam ::sigh:: Champion. He can tell me the weather any day. I don't listen to him, but... ::sigh::

Dianne is so...so.... *sigh*

[robeiae]

You know, you guys are funnier in this room than you were in comedy room.

Can't wait 'til this gets to FAQs. Then we'll have some laughs...

[Soccer Mom]

Okay so I have waffles and pancakes and hashbrowns and some sticky buns and this expresso coffee stuff is really good I don't know why they don't serve it in big cups and I've only had like ten or thirty of them so anyway I bought some movies in the hotel room and they were really good but I forgot to sleep does anyone know what time the icecream truck comes back?

Hmmm.

*now is the time to pitch your TV show ideas, based on the protagonist/antagonist themes above*

Ah, but what style of TV drama?

Procedural: Haggis, donning his best Lennie Brisco sarcasm, investigates the super-sizing of cray's avatar. In dutiful procedural fashion, the perp isn't OFG, as we all suspected, but rather KTC, an acronym of such renown no one could have fingered him as the mad avatar-super-sizing criminal. Haggis, tossing off another sarcastic retort, turns KTC over to Soccer Mom the Great for prosecution. All events inspired by a true story, of course.

Medical soap opera: The super-sized avatar is merely a symptom masking a larger, more serious problem. cray's innocent vision to Dr. Haggis von House reveals his avatar is a side effect of Cabaret-itis, and the snarky but brilliant Haggis von House is his only hope. Complicating the diagnosis is Haggis von House's crack fellowship team: robeiae, Unique and TrainofThought. Supervising their hijinks (and harboring a secret crush on Haggis von House) is Chief of Staff Rolling Thunder, and Haggis's best friend and cancer specialist Huggis.

Who's got breakfast? I'm tired of popcorn...

For some odd reason, this made me think of Revenge of the Nerds. Popcorn of cereal, beer for milk....

I'm gonna wait for the movie. In the meantime, die thread.

"Death is only the beginning..."

[JenNipps]

*yawn*

Hey! Who slipped the sleeping pill in my water when we got into Humor?

*looks at Haggis & RT -- had to have been one of them*

I missed it! Don't think I'm gonna be such a sucker this time, though.

[Haggis]

Haggis's best friend and cancer specialist Huggis.



Talk about suspending disbelief.

[cray]

ok then,...1 vote is in....
chaos votes that haggis's's' avatar should a sherlock holmes dog or a doctor doggie.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

*points at OFG*

*points at Soccer Mom* She wanted all the coffee.

[JenNipps]

*points at Soccer Mom* She wanted all the coffee.

Well, heck. If that's the case, all she had to do is ask for my share. I rarely drink the stuff and it's too hot this time of year for it.

By the way...Where's the popcorn? We're in the movie part now, right?

[Haggis]

But I don't know anything about movies.

Except for West Side Story. I know about West Side Story.

[Soccer Mom]

Ooh, more coffee for me but I don't think there is any unless Jenn doesn't want it and she doesn't so yay for more plus I saw this movie where there was this guy and he like hated this other guy and wanted to takeover the world so he tried to do some bad stuff and kidnap some people and I got bored so I watched this other show about this good guy that everyone thought was bad and he and uh and I kept flipping and got confused so I just watched SpongeBob Squarepants instead.

I think Sponge Bob has alot to say about the surreal alienation of modern urban living.

Oooh, donuts!

[ChaosTitan]

But I don't know anything about movies.

Except for West Side Story. I know about West Side Story.

There, there, Haggis. Have some Jujubes and Raisinettes.

[Haggis]

*sings-I feel pretty. Oh, so pretty. Oh, so pretty and witty and bright....*

[ChaosTitan]

*sings-I feel pretty. Oh, so pretty. Oh, so pretty and witty and bright....*

:ROFL:


*Officer Krupke, we're down on our knees...
Cuz no one wants a fella with a social disease...*

Which is precisely why I am waiting for the movie.

Casting call! Who shall play Haggis on the silver screen?

[Haggis]

There's not a mountain of dogs ugly enough to pluck that acting pooch from.

Hey, hey! I deserve better from you. I was on your side when...

Well, I'm sure there must have been a time when I...

When people say bad things about you, I always...

Never mind.

[Soccer Mom]

Oh, but on the silverscreen, everyone is played by someone prettier than real life. All major dog roles are played by female dogs anyway.

Too bad I've gone cat again.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

You need more caffeine, Mom. You're lamenting catdom.

[Serenity]

I vote for the Taco Bell Chihuahua.

[JenNipps]

Um....

Is there a head-spinning smiley anywhere?

*sings-I feel pretty. Oh, so pretty. Oh, so pretty and witty and bright....*

:scared:

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Too bad I've gone cat again.

OK, for some reason, I find this line to be funny as all getout. lol

I blame the transcription reports I've been editing. Yeah, that's it. Transcription reports.

Dang. Some of those would be sad movies, too.

[Soccer Mom]

I blame the fourth cup of coffee I just drank to counteract my late night and early morning. They say once you go cat, you never go back.

I'm gonna go sit in the corner now.

[Haggis]

Um....

Is there a head-spinning smiley anywhere?

Ooooooooh, purdy.....

[JenNipps]

I've heard that before, though not in that context. ;)

I'm gonna go sit in the corner now.

That might be a good idea.

http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/mittelgrosse/medium-smiley-064.gif

Oh, cool! lol

It needs to go just a wee bit faster, though, to keep up with Soccer Mom. lol

[Soccer Mom]

:runs through thread giggling on the way to the sprinkler:

[Haggis]

:runs through thread giggling on the way to the sprinkler:

Is she gone now? Good.

*turns on sprinkler*

[Soccer Mom]

Ew! Not that sprinkler Haggis! Not even on a bet. Dog's are so dirty.

[ChaosTitan]

For anyone who's interested, down the hall we're running an all night Kevin Spacey marathon (cuz he's awesome). First up is The Ref, followed by LA Confidential, Se7en, and American Beauty.

Popcorn is free, and the butter has no fat or calories! :D

[JenNipps]

Now that's the way butter should be. lol

[Rolling Thunder]

You know what would be fun? Let's put Haggis in the giant corn popper and turn it on! :D

[Haggis]

You know what would be fun? Let's put Haggis in the giant corn popper and turn it on! :D

See? This is clearly another case of supemodly abuse.

We can roll the outcome in I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and have an afternoon snack.

See? This is Kevin's normal behavio(u)r.

[Haggis]

Damn you, HagDog. I thought for sure you would respond with, "Eat me!"

Nuh-uh. I believe in a kinder, gentler AW. A thousand points of light, and all that crap.

[robeiae]

Nope, sorry...can't understand your banter one bit.

[Bmwhtly]

Movies forum ay?

I sense a way to finally drive all life out of this thread.

*drags in 42" TV*

*puts Jaws: The Revenge in DVD player, welds player shut*

*sets to play entire film on repeat*

That'll clear the thread.

[JenNipps]

Ya know...

Bnwhtly may have welded that DVD player shut....Hey! Wait a minute. How do you weld plastic anyway? Wouldn't it just melt?

Regardless, I have an extra DVD player here, KTC, and it's not even being used. We can unplug that one and hook this one up and watch something muchly much better than any of the Jaws movies. :)

[Haggis]

I wanna see some old Ozzie and Harriet reruns.

[Bmwhtly]

Curses!

Foiled again

[JenNipps]

I aim to (dis)please. :D

[Soccer Mom]

[JenNipps]

Too bad it misses the mark too often. :)

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Where's the Continental Breakfast with the complimentary beverages? And I didn't get a mint on my pillow last night.

In fact... I didn't get a pillow!

The movie was good, though... what was it? The Exorcist?

[cray]

this road trip is really not good for the health of this thread......
it never gets a chance to die

[Rolling Thunder]

Maybe we just need to change its battery...

[cray]

the battery is fine as is. awesome even.

let's look into other ways to kill the thing.
maybe we could flush a chihuahua down the terlit thereby clogging the pipes and flooding the whole thread, ultimately killing it. dead.

the thread that is.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Yeah... but what about the terlet? Won't the chihuahua damage it? Beyond repair, even?

[JenNipps]

Can I provide the chihuahua? I know there's one already available here, but.... This other one I've got in mind is the devil dog incarnate, I tell ya!! I want to punt the mutt into the middle of the busiest road in town.

[Haggis]

*reports cray, OFG and Jen for Chihuahua abuse*

[cray]

*reports haggis to the plumbers union*

[K1P1]

Ah, so THAT'S what the hypodermic is for...

[ChaosTitan]

*imagines a giant hypodermic and a Jigsaw trap in the next room*

[K1P1]

Mmmmmm! Jujubes! And licorice allsorts.

[ChaosTitan]

They aren't Milk Duds, they're Junior Mints!!!



Oops.....

[ChaosTitan]

Those puppies make the perfect projectiles.

Raisinettes, on the other hand, I'd never waste.

[ChaosTitan]

Remind me to try that when I'm really, really, REALLY bored.....

[ChaosTitan]

I got the raisin, all right...


http://www.webstercolcord.com/images/gallery_images/post_raisin_bran_2.jpg

[ChaosTitan]

Of course...it does seem mean spirited not to supply goggles. Cola burns the eyes.

It also burns that corroding gunk off your car battery. Makes me wonder why on earth we drink the stuff...

[ChaosTitan]

Yes. It serves them right for inspiring the creation of their evil cousins, the Prunes.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

You're obviously not old enough to realize what a true friend the humble prune can be...

[ChaosTitan]

Sink the raisin... let him die for the sins of his cousin.

Die, Raisin, Die!!!!

[ChaosTitan]

My God, but you just reminded me how very remiss I have been. I haven't said "Die, Chaos Die!!!" for nigh on a star's age.

There's the Kevin I know! :hooray:

[Serenity]

My God, but you just reminded me how very remiss I have been. I haven't said "Die, Chaos Die!!!" for nigh on a star's age.

Except she can't die.

I can't afford rent on my own...

Carry on. :D

[JenNipps]

*reports cray, OFG and Jen for Chihuahua abuse*

:tongue:

I don't have anything against all chihuahuas, just one in particular.

I just received a complaint from the usher. Please stop throwing Milk Duds... whoever is doing it, you know who you are. People are starting to complain. Don't make them shut this movie off!!!

Uh-huh. ANd you didn't tell the usher YOU're the main instigator either, did you?

They aren't Milk Duds, they're Junior Mints!!!



Oops.....

I thought they were both unless those are some petrified junior mints.

It also burns that corroding gunk off your car battery. Makes me wonder why on earth we drink the stuff...

*shudder* Definitely.

Oh, funny but true story. One time my sister was trying to get oil stains out of her husband's shirt. Mom told her to put a can of Coke in the wash with it. She said, "The whole can or do I have to open it first?"

(Yes, sadly, she's a blonde.)

or soak raisins in it, for that matter. I mean, they're already humiliated grapes... do we have to torture them further?

I thought you liked to torture inanimate objects? ;)

[K1P1]

Wow, all this contention in the back seat. Makes me glad I'm ridin' in the sidecar.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

A bus with a sidecar?!

No wonder people stare at us when we pass through town!

[Rolling Thunder]

Are square pants supposed to itch?

[Rolling Thunder]

Ah, okay. Everyone have breakfast yet? No? Might I suggest:

[Rolling Thunder]

I've always been amazed that Ben Stiller lasted only 13 episodes. A travesty, in my opinion. His comedy was top notch.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Ooooo! Lookie! The first pics from our trip are just coming in...
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q172/liadano/Busleft.jpg

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

And here's the other side of the bus...

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q172/liadano/Busright.jpg

[cray]

classic!

well done, ofg!

[Haggis]

Hey, wait a minute. Kevin's driving and it looks like he's drinking too. And I don't want to sit near that hoser. I demand a different seat.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

We're certainly a motley crew, ain't we?

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Hey, wait a minute. Kevin's driving and it looks like he's drinking too. And I don't want to sit near that hoser. I demand a different seat.

Angie'll keep him straight.

[CBeasy]

Ok, why is it that I had two days off from work and felt fine, then today, the day I come back, I wake up with a sore throat. That's not good for someone who talks for a living. One day, I want to find that Murphy dude and punch him in the face.

[CBeasy]

Awesome! I'm at the back of the bus!

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

This camera's awful slow... but here's a pic of Mac at the Jackrabbit Trading Post in Arizona...

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q172/liadano/jak.jpg

[CBeasy]

So, how did the Undead Thread end up here exactly? Not that I'm complaining mind you, it's nice to have my post count go up here.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Enjoy it while you can... when we get home, it'll go back down again. :) We thought the Thread needed a vacation from dying, so we loaded up the bus and took it on a Road Trip.

[CBeasy]

Nice! Hope you guys have fun. I wish I could be there! I sure could use a vacation.

[CBeasy]

I'm there in Spirit. I'm actually astral projecting to the bus, whilst working here.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

That's the 'End of Trip' version. :D

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Here's a really good one of Rolling Thunder... he wanted to stop at Graceland.

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q172/liadano/Rlngthunder.jpg

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

And the Colonel at the National Liquor Bar in Milwaukee!

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q172/liadano/KTC.jpg

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

And Werri had to stop for a pedicure...

http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumb_15/1121004179g1Z421.jpg

[JenNipps]

Hmmmm.....Methinks somebody's a bit too camera happy.

If whoever's driving sees a good bead store and/or a good bookstore, they better be for stoppin'! :)

[Haggis]

Here's one of RT right after he got a bit too frisky at the... um... gentlemen's club.

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o15/Damnhaggis/rtjail.jpg

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

What's this? When did we stop for Haggis to go to a Kiss concert?!?

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q172/liadano/HiggisKiss.jpg

[Jaycinth]

DUD!!!!!E

Kiss has a certain Kistch.

Besides Condoleeza Rice is now part of the Kiss Army...

I guess after the current job..anything is a step up.

Oh...my bad....sorry all you lurvely Republicans...I shall now go wash my mouth out....



.....with Chivas.

[Haggis]

Condi's hot.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Not as hot as the friend OFG ran into in Hollywood...

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q172/liadano/OFG.jpg

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

This pisses me off. I don't stop for Kiss. Not anymore.

You didn't even get off the bus that night... you were happy with the souvenirs you got in Milwaukee. :D

[cray]

*checks thread*

*decides we need some pictures hot chicks*


hey, ofg, what about when i met up with jessica alba


and then we went down the street to the club and petra nemcova was hanging all over me
:D

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

One of the highpoints of the trip so far! Here you go, cray...

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q172/liadano/CrayandJessica.jpg

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

And here's the one with Petra... I must've taken it from the wrong angle...

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q172/liadano/CrayandPetra.jpg

[cray]

:roll:

you have skilllz, ofg!


btw, i'll be swiping hiding these photos in my underground cave for my own "viewing" pleasure

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

There were others... but I didn't think you'd want me to post the ones from your camera.

[cray]

that wouldn't be good.

[Soccer Mom]

This trip is gonna get expensive if Haggis doesn't lay off the roomservice!

http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2008/5/11/baconsausage128549962595092131.jpg

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

We can offset some of the cost by selling some of our arts and crafts. Look here... K1P1 has had time to make a tank cozy...

http://madelinetosh.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/tank_knitting.jpg

[Soccer Mom]

Fancy! Could she make deer rifle cozies in Univ. Texas burnt orange? I bet we could sell those!

[Haggis]

They forgot my damn coffee again. :rant:

[auntybug]

*raises hand*

Um....silly question...maybe... but why is this in movies & TV now???

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

We're on a summer road trip, aunty. Last week, we were in Humor; this week here in Movies and tv... next week? Who knows?

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

K1P1 has also whipped up...

Yeah... that's a Ferrari.

Thanks OFG..I guess if I'm gonna lurk...I should pay attention.

And last but not least... K1P1 has finished a knit motorcycle...

Oh, funny but true story. One time my sister was trying to get oil stains out of her husband's shirt. Mom told her to put a can of Coke in the wash with it. She said, "The whole can or do I have to open it first?"

(Yes, sadly, she's a blonde.)



:roll: I have to use this story. That is classic.

Actually I'm busy with this:http://www.haifamuseums.org.il/Museum/Templates/showpage.asp?DBID=1&LNGID=1&TMID=84&FID=551&PID=878. We can stop by Mass MoCA and visit my publisher in the same complex, so the whole trip is a business expense, right?

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Even better! We can deduct it! Maggie, you're brilliant!

[Soccer Mom]

Good thing you've dragged along a lawyer and an accountant. (Let's include my bill in the deductible expenses, shall we? Haggis is gonna break me with this roomservice obsession.)

That's inspiring, Maggs. Thanks for sharing.

*Calls for a surf and turf. Oh, and some of them bacon-wrapped scallop appetizers.*

[Soccer Mom]

Gah! :Cancels roomservice order:

[Haggis]

Gah! :Cancels roomservice order:

*reorders, and adds a Dom Perignon, 1985 in a bowl*

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

A Waterford crystal bowl, to be precise...

I don't think Haggis should order any more room service. He looks like he's stuffed.

True, but since you've changed me from a Chihuahua into a Golden, my stomach is about 15 times larger. More room.

More room = more food.

*calls room service*

[ChaosTitan]

Y'all are gonna make the TV& Movies forum infamous for being the most expensive leg of the trip. :(

No need to thank us, Chaos. We love spreading the good word.

Oh, and thanks for picking up our tab. :D

[ChaosTitan]

Oh, and thanks for picking up our tab. :D

:rant:

[Serenity]

Hey, I get bill money from her before y'all get any trip expense money!!!

[ChaosTitan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah....

What is it they say about writers being starving artists?

[Haggis]

I like the kinder gentler Haggis... but I have to ask. What bet did he lose? I know he wouldn't do that willingly.

I seldom change my av willingly. This one is no exception. A certain surly supermod did that on his own for no discernible reason.

Hey! I went and done me some alliteration!

Yeah. Bristol has been surly as of late.

[robeiae]

Thank you all for adding so much to the Movies and TV forum. Thank goodness this thread is stickied...

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

No problem, Rob!

Actually, we're looking for someplace to move permanently... this Road Trip is just a cover...

We're really enjoying the visit!

[Soccer Mom]

I"m so pleased to see that the TV mods are being good hosts. Thanks for picking up the room service bill. I can't believe Haggis actually ordered 12 filet mignons last night.

[Rolling Thunder]

I wonder where they'll punt this tomorrow?

[cray]

where ever it is (erotica) i'm going to need the password.

[Soccer Mom]

I wonder where they'll punt this tomorrow?

Whew! We can't get out of Hollywood too soon! Tinseltown hasn't been good for Haggis.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

I don't wanna go yet! Gerard and I were just getting... interesting. :D

[Soccer Mom]

Well, you can stay and catch up later if you want, but I've got to Haggis out of Hollywood.

:sigh:TM

[Haggis]

Come on, Mom. One more week. What can it hurt?

*calls room service and orders two bottles of 50yo Glenfarclas single malt, just in case the bus leaves*

[Soccer Mom]

That's it! No more West Coast for you. My people will call your people and this thread is hitting the road tomorrow.

[ChaosTitan]

Thank god! I just can't afford you people anymore. :cry:

[Soccer Mom]

We all like the lifestyle you have here, but it's a bit to Chaostastic Titanalicious for some if you know what I mean. :looks at Haggis:

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

Do y'all think it'd be okay for Gerry to come with us? He can share my seat! I mean, if we're going to 'Erotica'... :D

[Haggis]

We're going to "erotica?" Can I sit next to Soccer Mom? :e2brows:

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

You'll have to negotiate with RT. He's on the upper level with Soccer Mom. You're right below her, though.

Oh, yeah. I forgot.

Well, there are advantages in that.

[Ol' Fashioned Girl]

I knew (knew, I tell ya!) you wouldn't miss that.

[ChaosTitan]

Buckle up, ladies and gents and stuffed things. See ya down the road!
