Login HereThe classic mouse duo of Hubie and Burt stumble onto The House of Tomorrow (designed by F. Lloyd Wrong) with all its modern technology. The cartoon features the music of Raymond Scott who wrote Powerhouse, used by Warner Bros composer Carl Stalling for the mechanical robot sweeper who figures prominently in this classic.
The NorCal Bear Creek Firepups are having their next meetup on Sunday, March 2 at the little cottage by the creek in the redwoods - no automated sweepers permitted. From the Facebook invite:
BYO cocktail wienies and liquids for another fantabulous afternoon chewing over politics and soaking up the atmosphere.
Bring your cameras, laptops, power strips and try to carpool - it's the progressive thing to do.
Are there any other firepups doing meetups? Want to get one going in your neck of the lake? As always, this is Late Late Nite, where off topic is the topic so chime in.

Hey
hey biodun - how’s your foot?
I dunno about meetups. I won’t be getting back north for a while. Don’t know if anybody in Central Flori-duh has suggested one. Not that I know of.
Oh man. That was sooo on topic. Sorry.
Mice suck.
just make sure newt is the camera operator. LOL!
I resemble that!
Hey Suz!
i haven’t seen newt tonight vg - hope he agrees.
bfl - dayam, on topic - a first (ducking)
bonkers - mice think cats suck.
You may have gotten the ZED but I got the first DIGG… so there!
newt- no srsly- the 2 youtubes you made were hilarious.
speak of the devil.. hey newton
I had a feeling late Late was coming up when Suzanne disapeared for a while and then suddenly reappeared in the last thread.
For some damn reason, it’s not every site, when there is a Youtube , my ‘puter will scroll down as far as the little box and then freeze.
Pisses me off no end trying to get in, but I’m here now.
Btw, I have a big hole in the toes of my jammies from kickin on the door.
I’m gonna shuck em and run around the house nekkid fer a bit.
Close yer eyes and reach down for the bleach.
aw, thanks, nahant
((hi suzanne))
on topic: Central Texas firepups meeting next saturday afternoon, feb 16 for our third gathering: potluck, bring books to lend, trade or give away. my house near Barton Springs Pool.
The music I’m listening to sucks so much it’s blowing me away. So much, I can’t turn it off to watch the mice, Suzanne. I’m trapped…
uh, well, the commentary was hilarious. No reflection on the subjects, who were eminently sober of mien.
You have footie pajamas? That’s so cute!
…those “mice” look too much like rats
on topic?
Yeah, I know.
It was a accident. Won’t happen again.
putting that warning at the end of your comment was sucky, busted.
i love jammies with feet - haven’t seen adult sized ones in years tho.
Hi Suzanne. I’ll be in NorCal that weekend before heading back downunder. A meet up would be fun, just not sure if I can get away (if I am invited). Getting there from Marin is a bit of an expedition. Who all is coming?
Suzanne told me to wear em.
I hadn’t seen em since I was five.
LOL.
When you get ya head count let me know so I know just how much chili I am on the hook for. Now as for pies I will make one or two after that well we will just have to see :>)
rats, eh, spidey? still have em in the attic?
been out for the day listening to the winter concert of traditional music, catching up with friends. just arrived to the lake and read thers “your favorite candidate suck”, assume people haven’t been playing as nicely as they could have been here at the lake. so, what’s been happening all day?
woohoo - tonights the night the invites go out on facebook (my back spasms laid up me up so they were delayed)
I’m listening to my friend Edward’s set on our secondary stream at Radio Riel tonight. Grand Opening of our new HQ in world at Caledon Penzance. So we’re playing and partying. I can’t be in world, but i can still hear the stream!
Nena’s 99 Luftballons playing right now, followed by Adam Ant’s Goody Two Shoes. hehe! *chairdances*
You think you got it bad, wait till Granny comes out for her cup of tea!
: (((((((((
fine. Plenty of ice that warm support from my son, who was with me, and from FDLers, and from ibropofen, and so when I woke up the next day…just a dull ache, and I was able to walk on it…
But I really appreciated the support form FDLers, an assuring second intro to FDL night culture…
I’m on facebook but never look at it. Now I will.
am I really still awake? goddamn night court screwed me up this week…
well, that and the idea that coffee at 11:00 sounded like a good idea…
(note to self: trying to kick oneself in the ass can result in sprains and stuff in a man your age).
Hi Suz!!
What’s traditional music?
You a judge?
Busted- I never wore footie jamies, but I remember mukluks.
pete - the invites will be sent out tonight so look tomorrow.
biodun, that’s great news about your foot (and you hanging out on late late nite
hey jayt
Traditional Music is Beatles
Quick get the bug spray!!
Cool!!!!! I thought you were gonna say some oboe or bazooon bullshit.
Cool!!!!! I thought you were gonna say some oboe or bazooon bullshit.
(My Reply thing didn’t work. that’s why this is up 2x)
You a judge?
If only…
There seems to be a certain contingent (of existing judges and prosecutors, and stuff) who seem to think that I might be a bit biased.
You know - it’s that “innocent until proven guilty” thing that seems to be something of a hang-up.
So it goes…
mukluks!!! my sibs and I all got them for Xmas one year, it was probably, what, 1965?
my favorite pair of footed jammies was a pair of red/white horizontal wide stripped ones with a long zipper in the front - no flap tho.
Missed this on the last thread.
I don’t have a favorite candidate, but if I did- they would SUCK.
There- I SAID it.
Wrong thing to say.. my sweetie plays the Oboe and if she saw your comment she would come through the net and do a little strangling on ya!!
flute and Oboe- backed by a bowed bass-
I had ones like that, except they did have the butt flap. Thank Gawd there’s are no family photos of me wearing those things. (I hope!)
I was kiddin’8)
I haven’t worn PJ’s since I was knee high to a choppin’ block.
I was teazin’ Suzanne.
Hmmm, kept getting a database error message from FireDogLake!
LOL!
preview is your friend
Never knew a person with a butt flap. Is it natural or the result of surgery?
try clearing your cache busted. things appear to be fine on this end (and backstage)
Airport! Ah, you are younger than I am! I was remembering one kind- like knitted socks with leather soles. I remember wearing them for good cause- standing on the metal grid where the hot air from the furnace blew up. The leather soles were just great for enduring the hot metal.
Old laptop.
I was doing two things at once and then I started getting email messages about comment updates.
Lookin at you nahant. ;)
Fuck a bee, lol, took me a minute to digest the context there.
Yeah. People get so hung up on that presumption of innocence stuff an’, you know, all that other legal mumbo jumbo.
Prosecutors suck.
They think their shit don’t stink ‘casue they win most of their cases. I mean, like, the guy did it, what’s the big deal? I like to see them get up on appeal and get ripped new assholes. I used to like night court when I was younger. And drank. Now?
Night court sucks.
But coffee is good.
Hahaha! The jammies had a butt flap, the JAMMIES.
i thought mukluks where those fur lined boots that had wrap around ties?
Oh- well that’s DIFFERENT- nevermind.
Me? Say the wrong thing? I haven’t done that since…… what time is it?
lots of differents kinds: this year we had a polka music, a few bluegrass bands-one that was really wild and hot, gypsy music that was grrreat-got the cd for that group, a womans’ african drumming group - they’re a big supporter of our main organization around here working hard to save our aquifer-and their drumming had me up dancing. sometimes there’s irish or scottish, cajun or zydeco. lots of fun.
I had a pair of those. I just saw some like that at a discount store.
What happens to the ass flap when ya fart?
i’ll be there.
with some books, some wristbands and the couscous salad.
ride offer stands.
any estimation of the crowd size?
Don’t know for sure- I would think it would add a bit of vibrato.
Sounds good. No Irish? I enjoy that sometimes. Used to, anyway. I have kids now. I enjoy nothing.
i had you pegged as the fart expert, dood.
omg, no one told me. i didn’t know we got preview back. when did this blessed event happen?
Probably depends on what kinda fart. Such a variety.
Suz- yeah, I discovered that via teh google. But, when I was growing up, mukluks were like socks with a leather sole. I am so out of date!
Ya ever clip a p0ker card to yer spokes when you were a kid?
Kinda like that.
Time for a XXX??/ :>)
*MODNOTE: lets not use that word around here please*
Huckabee has a chance of running the table tonight? (or am I missing a state?)
Irony and absurdity - put me down as a fan of both, please.
(slight chuckle only - stifling the BIG laugh)…
Might depend more on the type of flap- like tuning a violin- tension is all.
NOW I know what yer talkin about!
Hell yes, we used to have those too.
They were so cool for sliding down the hardwood hallway!
Margot! Thanks for knowing what I meant! Socks with leather soles.
oh geez, about a month after the change over iirc?
they be Blowing in the Wind.
that’s one of them words ya gotta be careful with dood
I remember those leather socks thing- never saw em last for more than a week- nice’n toasty while they lasted though. They weren’t good for mud puddles or bike riding.
right now i’ve got 8 of us saying yes, and one who said “likely”.
traditional music’s The Clash.

just saying
You were talkin’ to me, and yes I know that.
Sneaky little shit, I am.
my post mentioned irish, but it can’t hurt to say it again. we sometimes have irish. i love irish music myself.
rw- I am so laughing! I just wore them indoors. Me standing over the heating vent, wearing my nightgown and the mukluks!
Well, I was asked to testify as a fart expert once but the judge ruled that
my opinion had not gained general acceptance in the community of fartologists. He barred me from testifying as a fart expert. Bum. I fart in his generaal direction.
actually, i was talking to nahant
sorry. tehre were alot of different things there. my eyes just skipped over it. no, doesn’t hurt.
we have Blue Man Group.
I love how the “House of Tomorrow” in that cartoon has all kinds of complicated robots, yet music is still played on LPs. :)
Don’t mention Blowin in the Wind. That just causes alot of conflict to bubble back to the surface and I told the mod I’d be on good behavior.
I see.
I didn’t, but I kinda do now.
I used to like night court when I was younger. And drank. Now?
Night court sucks.
But coffee is good.
yeah - gettin’ used to coffee. Was a year yesterday.
BTW, ya ever heard of the “Three V’s” for crim defense lawyers”?
Valium, Vodka, and Vitamins.
Been there.
Glen Hansard, “Once” Love this…
:) wuddn’t want ya left flapping in the breeze
Indoors- damn- what a concept!
Word, word…. Hmmmmm.
XXX
Hmmmm.
Three letters?
Hmmmmmm.
I’d like to buy a vowel.
Thanks. An excellent list. There are some blues, jazz, and latin (bossa nova) artists that were a big part of my listening in those days as well.
buzz, wrong answer try again
Hey, vinyl’s making a comeback. They’re actually selling turntables again!
Me: COOL. (yes i grew up with it in the 80s, so the resurgence of it in the age of the mp3 is funny. Kid’s who’ve never seen one before buying a turntable. I wore out at least 2 by the time i was 10, meanwhile. *evil grin* )
Man, if those slipper socks are back in the stores, it’s like 1958 all over again.
That means New Math is close behind!
Daym it was just a figure of speech in response to his comment ya know just snarking and all that.. I couldn’t get to him anyway he way over on the other side of nowhere… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRv34Cat3Vw
fork - i suck at new math
i know your intent - twas a word we don’t like used so i xxx’d it out. :)
Did some night court but I really was never a criminal defense lawyer. So I guess 2 outta 3 ain’t bad for me.
Vitamins. Phew. Yuk.
congrats jayt!!!!
it was 5 years for me of not smoking feb 3 - the first year and a half wasn’t necessarily easy, but i don’t even think about it now, except for still being careful about extended stays where people are smoking. it’s cut down on my music festival attending a bit.
Thought there was only “THE MATH” nowadays.
Hey Chris!
Are you getting blown away by the winds here?
I quit smoking- one or two years ago- can’t remember which. I’d still give five bucks for a cigarette.
Guess I would have to do a refresh to see that… my cache is working just great tonight :>)
I’m a coffee drinking, cigarette smoking throwback. Too much alcoholism in my family for me to ever wanna swing that way.
congratulations, jayt!
good on ‘ya
good on ya for sticking with it. with any luck and the favor of the gods, it’ll get easier. at least, that’s how i’m hoping it goes for you.
So that doesn’t mean it was 3 letters. When I first came here, i saw people could be a little potty mouthed so I used a word and was politely told (I think it was by Jane or Christy) that we didn’t use that here.
But I don’t think it would work here. time for a ……. So there’s another banned word? Hmmmmmmmm.
Hey Margot,
On and off, we are waiting for a huge blow during the night.
While in graduate school I joined a movement to make coffee and cigarettes tax deductible for philosophers.
