We are having a great time. Hanging out at the pool. Drinking beer. Eating great food.
We just got massages and are going to hang out at the pool all day.
We left all our problems and issues for a little while. I had to go on the computer for a minute to do one stupid transaction so I figured I would drop youse guys a line.
Right now we are relaxing.
Keep on talking amongst yourselves.
Where's my beer?

At least he ain't lyin' about the massages.
Photos from stonehenge or it didn't happen!
Looks like you are having way too much fun, relaxing. So I hear you talked to an interesting personage for a whole hour.
Enjoy your time off, you worked hard and deserve it.

Anybody check the Seatuck Inn guest roster?

Gotcha.
But I'll wager he registered under the name "Bissage", to throw us off the scent.
Wait! So that phone number that Sixty posted yesterday wasn't Lee Lee's but was for the Seatuck Inn. But that means...

It means that Sixty and Nick are one in the same person and he tracked down Trooper at his hideout.
I was disappointed to find out that Eastport, where Trooper abides, is not across the bay from Westport, from which I'd imagined Meade staring across the water at a green light at the end of the dock.
Westport is way the fuck up on Lake Champlain.
I beat you by 3 hours, Chip!
We were only 100 comments short of being beastly.
Westport is way the fuck up on Lake Champlain.
That explains the "back to Adirondacks" pun!
Oh, I know. I was just following your lead.
We were only 100 comments short of being beastly.
Now that thread will wither and die.
That was a great link thought, Darcy!
Chip: I had that same notion about the Westport/Eastport thing. We must have read it somewhere.
I think I heard about them from Nick.
That was a great link thought, Darcy!
Who among the MoTY hasn't thought great thoughts about linking to Darcy?
Maybe not Titus, but I'm not so sure about that.
I wonder if the Seatuck Cove House's slogan is, "Come to Eastport and toss care away"?
Chip, your linkage is showing...
Posted before thinking. Should've said "throw" instead of "toss." "Toss" sounds too gay even for Titus.
Tarry regret, so seldom met!
chick, Call me Merkle.
Is that last line from Confusus?
Borrowed from Housman.
Chip S. said...
chick, Call me Merkle.
Just call me Angela in the morning!
I thought you might be doubling down on entendre.
Sorry, Euron Eurown w/ her.
Oh, I see what you mean.
What would Freud say?
Schade?
Darcy's posting photos of babes riding farm implements back on that long thread.
Whatever Siggy would say, TPTB are telling me that break time is over for a while.
Is she one of them?
Good to have something to look forward to!
Well, thank God you weren't kidnapped by the Russian mob.
Here's a little summertime easy listenin' for ya, Troop: link
I completed the building of the new seats for the dozer. New plywood, new foam pads and new marine vinyl.
I completed the building of the new seats for the dozer
I didn't realize that you also made furniture for Trooper, Allen.
Bravo!
I completed the building of the new seats for the dozer.
As long as chickelit is posting links to upholstered seats, the door is open for you to show yours, even if it won't lead to a description that includes "tongue in cheek".
@MamaM: You must be using "upholstery" in a tongue-in-cheek fashion.
You must be using "upholstery" in a tongue-in-cheek fashion.
Not me, the picture speaks for itself, the eloquent description even more so. No tongue ties required.
Ask, and you shall receive --
Seat
When I replaced the adjusting rods on the dozer, I had to make my own because the original parts are obsolete. To adjust the rods on the inside of the track, I had to make a tool to adjust them because the loader for the blade was in the way and a regular combination wrench wouldn't fit.
Special tool
I used a 1 1/8" combination wrench and refigured it. I had to cut out the box end so it would fit over the 3/4" threaded rod.
"A man's got to know his limitations" -- Harry Callahan
"A man with a lot of tools, knows no limitations" -- AllenS
Apparently you are good with your tool.
Right on, my brother. Using tools is one step, fabricating tools is a step up.
As I clean out my old shop I have uncovered literally dozens of fixtures I have used to make products. Some of them, such as the fixtures I use to support long work on the 4th axis of my CNC I am going to keep. Others, such as one off fixtures I used to fabricate parts I am getting rid of. It is amazing to get a look back at the stuff I have made and the tools I made to make that stuff.
Great, if dusty, fun.
Thanks, Allie. You know, when I have my tool in my hand... Wait a minute, that doesn't sound right.
Are you talking about Peter O'Tool?
We were, or at least I was, the other night. Mr. Redundant himself.
Thanks, Allie. You know, when I have my tool in my hand... Wait a minute, that doesn't sound right.
A tool in the hand is worth--wait, what?
I see you working, Blake.
A tool in the hand is worth--wait, what?
The punchline has sadly dipilitated over time.

Sixty, did I recycle a joke without proper acknowledgement? I'm getting a mean vibe from you. You're getting cryptic and hard to read lately.
Sorry, CL - don't mean to be mean. Just succinct. Tired. Too tired to type much. I guess the lack of inflection really limits my attempts at humor.
A black guy, a communist and a muslim walk into a bar...
I guess that a tool in the hand, would save the cost of a movie, dinner and drinks. So, there's that.
Me to Sixty, I'm tired, my gut hurts and I look like death warmed over, it's OK if you're crabby.
Too
But I am not. Other than being a Cancer and all. I was trying to be funny. I need to get out more.
Hi everyone, how are you? I care.
Went to Salem tonight for a fabulous seafood dindin at Finz in Pickering Wharf.
The place was jumping. Sat outside and beautiful yachts, fabulous people, and tall ships came into the port. Party Boats were deporting left and right full of music and fresh seafood. There were so many guys with huge arms I almost splewed.
I went with my previous manager who is now the SVP of HR at Tufts Medical Center and a major jew diva. And a total cunt. Totally lover her.
I had Haddock stuffed with Crab. Fucking amazing. We also had clams on the half shell, slurpy slurpy.
Salem is really quite fab although very touristy. I saw some southern license plate people and gave them shade, natch. There was this disgusting Arkansas family and hideous South Carolina couple and some horrible guys with a southern accent that wore cowboy hats and boots-they were all talking about how New England is really snooty. So I felt obligated to give them a little push on my way to the table overlooking the ocean.
tits.
I am going to be honest.
I did a really hot Brazil guy busboy in the bathroom tonight.
We went in the stall and took all our clothes off.
He was smooth, hot, had an amazing body, size 30 shorts, perry shoes, a Boston baseball cap that he turned around in order to get my entire hog, had a small soft little beard and I sat on the toilet while he devoured my hog. His hog was shaved and uncut, natch. Other patrons were pissing while we were doing it.
It took like 4 minutes and the jew diva I was with knew what happened. I guess I was two minutes too slow.
He blew me and then spit out my load in the lou.
thanks.
Sort of like 50 shades of the rainbow.
The redone crawler seat looks good AllenS! Clean and neat. I'm also impressed with the reinforcement job on the work table, wherever that came from.
When we were first married, we took a community ed upholstery class and decided to recover a sofa as a project, which meant loading and unloading it in and out of the El Camino and carrying it into the classroom every week. That the MrM was willing to do this could be considered testimony to the foolishness of love and youth, but probably has more to do with his desire to save money. We used red $3 a yard theater seating fabric obtained from the American Seating Outlet, and 30 years later the sofa is still in use as cottage furniture. I will say though that we never attempted to recover another major furniture piece together again. It was a one time deal.
Where's the audio, Titus? These latest episodes play like silent movies. No grunts, groans, directives, encouragements, moans of pleasure,or shouts of acclamation. Zip, Nada. Not a Peep. No sounds of toilets flushing, streams of whiz boiling the waters, or bouts of bowel troubles erupting from the other patrons sharing the room. Not even an Ewwwww when some of the hastily removed finery falls off of the single skinny hook or drags on the scummy floor during redress. Almost like the whole thing was played out in a head rather than a stall.
MamaM said...
Where's the audio, Titus?
Titus' hushed stalling of furtive spurts reminds me of shooting 'roids instead of loads.
MamaM there was only one stall and two urinals.
The entire episode was awful and I feel really guilty.
But I did get my rocks off and for that I am grateful and feel very bad for others who can not get their rocks off in a public restroom.
I can lie but tonight I did not lie.
I did it in the stall of Finz in Salem, Mass.
I believe some in the bathroom knew we were doing it but just ignored it.
I am a dirty whore.
As soon as we were done I called my husband in NYC. How fucked up is that?
I am sorry but I am horny and have the need to be wanted and adored.
I was ready to run out of the stall immediately (like Madonna in the Justify My Love video) but he shut the door and murmured in broken english that he was not ready. I was like I don't care bitch, I am out of here.
I am a slut and I don't have many years left where someone will do me in a bathroom.
Please, can all you try and understand?
Being desired and wanted is so fucking important to me.
tits.
While we were in the stall, and before he blew me, he did "pretend" to ride my hog.
I saw his back and he did moan a bit but I am not that technically proficient and was definitely not going to record it, but for the most part, it was kind of hot.
My hog just slided around his ass but no penetration, natch.
That seemed good enough for him and I am afraid to actually venture into another's ass. Who know's what is growing in that asshole.
He did smell kind of mensche though...in the ass.
And I always have sanitizer handy.
tits.
Lastly, I am guessing he was around 20.
I can still pull in the young hog, and for that I am so appreciative.
tits.
Titus opined But I did get my rocks off and for that I am grateful and feel very bad for others who can not get their rocks off in a public restroom.
Rocks Off by the Rolling Stones, recorded in 1972 when the band was already 10 years old. They formed in '62 and are just this year celebrating 50 years together. For Jagger and Richards, that band has been more stability than marriage, though I believe that Charlie Watts is still married to the same woman, Shirley, whom he married in 1964. Bless his heart. According to the Wiki, he consistently turned down groupie affections throughout the group's hey day. Bill Wyman was, according to legend, the real slut in the band and his exploits were legendary.
I wonder which Stone Titus most admires? I've always sort of liked Keith Richards myself, maybe because his tastes were always chemical in nature.
Jeebus.
Bathroom-stall homosex here. Shirtless lawnboy there.
It is a good day to work offline.
I hope most married men don't have sex in bathrooms with people they just met. What the hell, married women too.
A director I never saw mentioned in either set of lists was M. Night Shyamalan. I liked The Sixth Sense and Signs. Watched a bit of The Village, but while doing so, looked at the Wiki page and realized I didn't want to spend any more time watching it.
Maybe I have answered my own curiosity about why he was not mentioned - maybe because his work is just not that good. Perhaps he should hire a writer.
From the 2:37 mark of "Rocks Off"
The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.
Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.
Headed for the overload,
Splattered on the dirty road,
Kick me like you've kicked before,
I can't even feel the pain no more
That reminded me of Titus
Sixty is not mean. He is adorbs.
Aw, thanks, Darce.
Sometimes I think I am witty. Sometimes that is only half true.
Sex in bathroom stalls seems so desperate, yes I know I'm old but even when young, it seemed that waiting for a much more pleasant love nest would be worth the wait.
But it could be male hormones, transsexual men receiving pre surgery hormonal treatment say that the constant sexual urges were significantly decreased and they found that to be a relief.
Having been in stalls next to stalls that were in being used for non-standard purposes, I can tell you it's not a lot of fun.
If I suddenly realized my lover looked like Karloff I might hope I was having a bad dream.
I did find him charming in The Grinch, though.
How do you feel about Jack Elam?
Well...I do go for the smarts, mostly.
*starts growing Trebek-style moustache*
Sex in bathroom stalls seems so desperate
This is one area where straights face a choice dilemma that gays do not: Which bathroom do we use?
Whatever happened to Lois Feldman?
Oh, gays can choose. Who knows, that might just increase the frisson of the moment.
Thank goodness there are no more retroviruses in the world these days.
Jack Elam has his eye on you!
Chip, I was thinking of that story too! That was wild. The police had to pry them apart.
A water hose was the traditioal method.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2216124
Every region has its own story
Wow, 60. I thought it was only illegal if you used the handicapped stall.
I may have dodged a legal bullet or two...
Chip, the handicap stalls are for old folks. It wouldn't take much to pry them apart, just yell "Prune Juice Marguerita's are now being served at the bar!" and they would knock each other over and probably break a hip getting out of the stall.
And I speak from experience, dealing with love amongst the aged on the Dementia unit.
You've had sex in a handicapped bathroom stall recently?
Tip o' the cap, Allie.
Or is it the patients who are fucking in the bathroom stalls?
Takes some of the sting out of the prospect of old age.
Ha! I knew you would glom onto that one! No handicap stall sex starts at age 70, I'm still yoo young.
The patients my dear young Chip.
The patients my dear young Chip.
At least it's unlikely that any videos of this will go viral.
Darcy said...

Ever notice that the Grinch had dimples? So adorbs! I put a link up last night in that thread--did you see it?
Awww. Just watched. He is SO adorbs. I liked the Jim Carrey version as well.
You liked the live action Grinch?!
</3
LOL. Yes, I did. I thought Jim Carrey was really great in it. I thought the added dumb characters were dumb. But I enjoyed it.
They turned the sweet, innocent, pure Whos in Whovilles to venal, appalling creeps!
x-(
LOL. Well...not CindyLu Who!
But...so, basically, they turned them into "people". =)
Nasty people!
Totally defeating the point of the story!
Are we having a fight?
You're > < this close to getting a spanking, young lady!
Oh. Well. I'm not a-skeered. lol
I like Jim Carrey, but I never saw that remake.
Voices by Karloff & Thurl Ravenscroft, and animation direction by Chuck Jones--unbeatable!
And behind that was even more genius: Dr. Suess and his publisher, Bennett Cerf.
I really don't get tired of the original. It's truly a masterpiece.
Gawd this thread is turning into 50 Shades of Gray after all!
You're > < this close to getting a spanking, young lady!
Keep it up blake--it sounds a bit like I'm in a neighboring stall! ;)
LOL
You guys - and Allie - have nothing but sex on the brain!
Tsk. ;-)
Titus started it.
Right?
I post an innocent (if enraged) comment about spanking, and they go and make it all...dirty.
For shame!
This whole 50 Shades thing Allie brings up (Althouse) went over my head. I guess I'm just not plugged into that.
Plugged in to it, hahaha, was that intentional? Why yes I suspect it was.
I think it's some book that has something to do with Sasha Grey.
I mean the fascination with it--not that I wasn't "getting" the riffing here.
Allie, I hope that everything I write is intentional. Would hate to be robotic about things.
No of course you are not robotic Chickie, you are very human:)
Bruce, it's a book that turned a lot of women on because the main character is apparently very dominating and "kinky". And surprise!? Women gain a clue that they don't really want to be in charge. But having a man lead and being dominated are different things, in my opinion.
I have no interest in the book. I've already seen the movie before the book that ripped it off. It's one of my favorite movies, but it definitely doesn't paint a happy ending like I'm guessing the books do.
Hey everyone, my stomach feels better! My meds are kicking in, and I don't feel like I'm kicking my own ass anymore.
Darcy, I agree with you, the book holds no appeal.
It's a movie too? I thought it was a bodice ripper or a series of bodice rippers. I guess it makes $ense that it would turned into a movie.
Well, crap. I took you too literally. Of course you knew what the book was about, chick!
My meds are kicking in...
That's pharmaceutically intriguing
Well, they are making a movie of 50 Shades. But I was talking about 9-1/2 Weeks.
Back up...I never even heard of the title "50 Shades Of Gray" until Althouse started bringing it up and I assumed that it was in the context of a book.
I'm just saying that I'm not surprised it's been made into a movie--I should have guessed as much.
they are making a movie of 50 Shades.
Is Sasha going to be in it? Srsly.
But I was talking about 9-1/2 Weeks.
Well crap, now I feel even more out of it. You're out of my league when it comes to novels.
No, that was a movie. Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger.
*backs away from the thread, slowly*
Would've been a great movie w/o Mickey Rourke.
Mickey Rourke was so hot in his day, what happened to his face?!
I assume somebody did a preggerporn flick based on that called 8 1/2 Months.
I thought it was excellent. And yeah, Mickey was really good looking then.
I just Wiki'd it. Main character: John Gray. Coinky?
It was always a struggle for me to get those little pink wedges in "Trivial Pursuit."
AllieOop said...
Hey everyone, my stomach feels better!
Glad to hear it.
Can I resume being a provocateur now?
You should have me on your team, chick. The pinks are a cinch for me!
Sure, you all don't have to be nice to me anymore;)
We would clean up at Trivial Pursuit!
We would!
You would know all the sports trivia too! Win Win!
It's weird how the word "trivial" came to have its current meaning, given that it presumably derives from trivium.
Maybe a way for the common folk to deride book learnin' back in the day.
I was gonna say, but I didn't want to brag... hehehe
AllieOop said...

Time to start prinking!

Sorry Chipper--not really into three-ways.
That was interesting, Chip. I'd never heard of the word trivium. The book learning "back in the day" sounds difficult. As it should be.
And you, a Wisconsin boy.
Just try milking a cow atop a two-legged stool.
Sex again! Ha.
Trivial Pursuit, euchre, and "Blue Moon" should all be on tap at a hypothetical TY meet-up.
Some three-ways are better than others, chickie.
But they're all confusing.
Trivial Pursuit, euchre, and "Blue Moon" should all be on tap at a hypothetical TY meet-up
YES.
I played a lot of Mexican dominoes in Wisconsin. It's been around a long time there (among the septu- and sextagenarians) but it's also good with kids.
Chip, ok you can prink me all you want, just don't prank me.
After reading Titus commenting about his love for scallops, I was going to tell him about the best scallops I've ever eaten, my wife would kill for them. However, after reading the Bathroom Confessions, no fucking way! I don't want to walk into that restaurant bathroom the next time we're on the Cape and hear some aging Wisconsin homo groaning in the next stall.
Mickey always had a pizza face. Now it's a bloated alcoholic pizza face.
ChipS, My first Christmas w/ my inlaws we were discussing trivia. Her parents are very proud of where they lived[Watertown, Wi.] telling me about how astronaut Dan Brandenstein was from there and how the first kindergarten was established in Watertown. I told them Fred Merkle was also from Watertown. They didn't know who Merkle was and so when I explained I realized why I never became a diplomat.
I took my bride on a spontaneous trip to Door County. She is recuperating physically from a total knee replacement and emotionally from getting ignored by her literary agent. We had not been up there since right after she retired in 2006. It's a midwest treasure.
I got a set of double 12 dominoes and on the box were the rules to a version of dominoes that I found very enjoyable. So dominoes are in.
I once defeated, singlehandedly, an entire room of people playing Trivial Pursuit. My son was quite impressed with his old man.
I didn't bother to tell him that they were all Unitarians, therefore just an IQ point or two above imbeciles.
Trivial Pursuit, euchre, and "Blue Moon" should all be on tap at a hypothetical TY meet-up.
I'm in, with the exception of euchre. Blue Moon my favorite beer. Don't let me get any pop culture questions in trivial pursuit> I hardly know who any of these so called famous people and movie stars are. But I will kick your ass in science, geography and history :-)
It was always a struggle for me to get those little pink wedges in "Trivial Pursuit."
Yea. That's what I mean. I suck at the entertainment part and sports too.
When we used to play as teams, my hubby is great on those so we were good together in Trivial Pursuit.....and of course in a lot of other ways.
Chickie, OMG that Troglodyte video had me rolling on the floor!
A redhead once gave me the Simpsons version of Trivial Pursuit. I told her to ask any question from any card. She did, I never missed one. D'oh!
Nick, it sure is. I love Door County, we usually go at least once a year. How is your wife doing with the new knee? Did she have to have a lot of therapy?
Goes to show what I know - I thought Blue Moon was some bare ass Wisconsin winter thing. It's a beer? Single malt or I'm not drinking.
What kind of firearms shall I bring? If we are playing cards then a boot gun should be carried in addition to a .357 or .45 in a shoulder holster. Am I right?
Unless of course the meet up occurs in NYC, in which case I will bring a 2 liter bottle of Coca Cola - gotta know which laws to violate and which ones to obey.
Blue Moon is a wheat beer, right? Cant drink wheat beers, Nice dark lagers for me, IF I ever get to drink again.
We are called to puddle wrestle at TOP, Allie! lol
I may like Blue Moon w/o the fruit. I don't like fruit in mah beer.
Er...pudding. LOL What an embarrassing typo.
Allie, Thanks. Her knee rehab is going well, but it's a long process.
Haha, I saw that Darcy, I responded, it's funny, and about blue masks,hehe.
I'm with you on the fruit in beer, yuck.
I took a photo of a mexican wrestler wearing a golden mask the other day the fair for all you macho fans. But something isn't letting me log into twitterific from my phone so I can't upload it.
Twitter is the only social medium that gives me technical problems. It's sad too because there are some dear people over there. :(
Blue Moon is just a seasonal beer for the summer. I don't actually have a favorite--I love most all beers.
Yes, Allie, it's a Weizenbier.
Yeah, Victoria is a good person, just not a very good speller - colour, neighbour and all the others mistakes Blighters make.
I remember asking Victoria to come over here once and she did: link, but I think she didn't feel welcome or something because she never came back. This made me sad.
While searching for that last comment of Victoria's, I came across this one from Meade which is relevant to the discussion of Bissage yesterday: link.
Jesus, that is one pathetic comment. Why didn't he just cut to the chase "She puts up with me and she has an enormous pension". What a douche.
Victoria probably din't feel welcome here. Just sayin'.
I miss so much by not going to TOP. Well, maybe "miss" is the wrong word.
Now that was a funny exchange. You go, Troop. Let that limey broad have it! Erin go Bragh!
I miss my ex-wife. But my aim is getting better.
Okay, see, that was a crude attempt at humor. My aim has always been fine and I truly have no desire to cause harm to anyone.
Great links, blake. You and Troop go back much further in time, which I did know, but I had no idea of Troop's animousity towards her. It explains a lot.
Troop was my first commenter nearly five years ago.
chickelit, have you mentioned to her that Trooper's never around here anymore?
She's much too scarce at TOP, too.
Not having a drop of Irish in me, I just don't get all that.
Now I'm having my Stockdale moment.
Me Irish great-great-great-grandmother come over from the ould sod, she did, and settled in the very county in which I now reside.
But mostly I have English ancestors who arrived here prior to the revolution. So I dislike the Brits on several counts, not the least of which is the way they butcher our language, and, worst of all they also call soccer "football" - truly a travesty.
Soccer is the most idiotic spectator sport ever, so I don't care what anybody calls it.
Plus, victoria is right up there with Darcy in my grand commenter roll call. So she can spell any word any way she likes--as long as she doesn't block me on twitter.
Yeah, she is a sweetheart. I hope I never chided her too much about her inability to write American.
How about that Blake, and we circle right back around to The Wire.
Nice review you wrote there - seriously.
Oops, did I do that Chip?
Well! If she doesn't like Trooper, then.... well, her taste is in question. Maybe the Brits are too proper for this venue.
I'm off to the cabin - but wanted to say (for Nick and Bruce) that I was sort of riffing off of one of my fave chick flick lines over at TOP. From Bridget Jones' Diary:
"Heyyyy. Nice guys don't kiss like that!"
"Oh, yes they fucking do."
:)
Have a great weekend, all!
Heya, there, D--
Wait, what?
When'd this party turn into a sausage fest?
Hi Everyone.
How are you?
I am super, thanks for asking.
tits.
Allie:
I know and like Victoria very much. She has great taste. It's really OK if this place isn't her cuppa. And that goes for many folks who have come around here and also decided to be scarce.
My dad used to say we should disagree without being disagreeable. Harder to do than say, I know, but let it begin with me.
Darcy:
Safe travels, kiddo. May you have no pop-overs/extended stays from ravenous throngs o' teenagers and siblings.
Well coming from you Ruth Ann, I will accept your recommendation of Victoria. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting her, as she hasn't commented here. I have seen a couple of her comments on Althouse and agreed with the point she was making.
I suppose it's Trooper's prerogative of he invites here here, maybe he has. I am a bit protective of Trooper and it appears that she doesn't care for Trooper, according to Blake's link, so that is where my comment regarding her taste originated from.
Trooper is my cup of tea, to each their own I suppose.
If
Thanks, Allie.
Over the years, I have come to meet in person and know via phone conversations and emails some wonderful people that originated in pixels on blogs and Twitter. I don't always agree with every position they hold, but I certainly do like the people I've met in many of these parts.
My fucking job is requiring me now to go to Washington DC once a month and Princeton, New Jersey once a month.
I fucking hate business travel.
And the worst part is the rare clumber will have to go to doggy day care. The day care is very exclusive, natch, and crate free, with rooms playing animal planet and there is a pool and activities center.
But still I hate leaving my child.
When I first started working I traveled every other week for like 2 years and initially loved it but eventually hated it with a passion.
It can be hard being a part of the creative economy.
tits.
Allie,
As far as I know, vbspurs has never expressed any anti-Troop sentiment and TY simply expressed his (mild, IMO) sentiments in that thread at various times.
It became a running gag with me to find variations of "perfidious Albion" ever since.
In that thread and other various times, that is.
The only upside of this business travel is I don't have to go to horrible places and the flights are only like 1 hour away.
Fortunately, all of our offices are in decent locations.
If they told me I was going to Mississippi or Oklahoma I would quit.
Well, she sounds very interesting!
I kind of enjoy Penny, I don't quite understand her humor, but it's hysterical nevertheless.
Yeah. Penny.
Dang, I go away for a while and come back to find 200 comments. Well done!
