Late indeed!

Where ya been hiding Es and Neuro?? Hope you are digging cause I am not going to!!
10:10 WTF or is all Lurks FAULT???

Very late! No zed for me…!

Digg!

hiccup and a glitch caused tonight’s late late nite to be delayed

mea culpa

I mean, Digg!

Yeah, I dropped a sandwich into the hamster wheel and… Bang!

let us not speak ill of the Lurkmeister

Christmas has a new enemy, tonight when I ordered a pizza, the delivery driver said, “Happy Holidays.” This conspiracy against Santa/Baby Jesus goes deeper than even O’Reilly imagined, now it’s Papa John’s too!

oh, is that why there is shredded ham all over my monitor? :)

LOL … you pups are finicky! No milk bones for a week!

Sorry, I had some strange hiccup tonight.

good evening all

Hey! Guess what! They said vagina and clown car over at Tbogg’s a little bit ago. Heeheheehe.
I thought that was our job at late nite.

Tuna on wheat, hold the onions.

BRING ‘EM TO JUSTICE!

Ok, this is just too weird.

at least the hamster will eat well tonite!

Well about that Hamster was probably on strike or just to weak to keep the generator Running. /s

“Baby Pez Dispenser” … quite a way with words … *g*

Do you mean “They” are stealing our Thunder??? How Dare they…

Body explodes during cremation.

why, at the end of 2008, is this blog running on coerced animal power rather than solar or wind?

And Neuro I did leave you a comment at the Digg Station(:>)

Not unheard of in Europe, most likely an unformed twin, so I’ve heard.

Really I run all day on solar and Sell back any Extra!! Although this time of year it isn’t much!! But come the typical California Weather and Redwood city in Particular we will be running that ol’e meter backwards like crazy!!

But in the Brain??? I have heard of it happening in the abdomen but not the brain..

Wow! I’m so impressed.

I’ve heard of a couple other cases in this country but usually the ‘extra’ bits weren’t in the brain but in other parts of the body.

Yeah, shockingly sad “stone baby” cases.

Took dog and cat food to shelter today.
Can I haz biscuit?

No, I have no answer. All I can say is that Mr.CE and I have seen pathological and teratological specimens in collections all over Europe and the UK, and the strange array of things in jars I can’t describe.

Well, I didn’t get any semblance of sleep when I got home from up the Mtn… The Missus had a serious accident that had her in the ER last nite while I was up there… Somehow the dog tripped her up and the mug she was holding dropped and shattered and she ended up stepping on a large shard… She had to have thirty stitches in her foot to sew it up… I’m beat so I’m bidding ya’ll a fond adieu! Aloha Oe!!!

Bang?
Must’ve been one hell of a sammich!

FunnyD

Well, Okay….)

Ooo, best to her. nite tuttle

(((Mrs. CT)))

Oh no, CT… Get some rest amigo. Give the missus my best.

Oh, I’m so sorry! And horrible it happened when you were away. My worst nightmare, as I’m often a grass widow.

Night, CT. Best to the Mrs.
I know someone who’d remind you that cuts like that heal from side-to-side, not end-to-end, but I wouldn’t pass that on to her just now. Hope you’re both feeling much better very soon.

(((mrs ct)))
aloha ct and send the mrs my wishes that she have an easy recovery (and has you waiting on her while she heals)

and even Fox News itself, which has sent out official greetings that don’t say Merry Christmas! (oops, almost wrote Xmas, heathen that I am, taking the christ outta it and all…)

ok… msnbc just reported they graphically racist antiObama emails were distributed to state employees over their government PCs and LAN. Governor Bible Spice refused to condemn the emails, saying that this is a privat matter . Tell me all things that sound

Thanks ya’ll! She truly appreciates the condolences…! *g* *poof*

So, nobody likes The Tallest Man On Earth?

Don’t make me post Sid And Nancy Christmas songs for the rest of the month. /s

Body explodes during cremation.

I want to do that when I die.

“There goes Mary!”

oh sorry the racist emails were distributed In Alaska

well, that puts it in a whold different perspective…

there’s something about mary

I’m sure Rev Warren will come to the rescue ASAP.

so e-mails on official state network are considered “private,” eh?

did she come up with that to avoid turning over evidence in Troopergate?

following the chimpmeister’s example, of course

OK, I won’t.
But Twisted Christmas would be OK…
FunnyDiva

It is 28 outside. Love it! Feels like 23.

creating–or tolerating–a hateful, racist environment in the workplace is not a private matter

That’s terrible. Best wishes to Mrs CT.

What a crazy past few days:
– auto companies shutting down
– Armed Serivces Committee, including McCain, unanimously pinning blame for torture detainee abuse on Rumsfeld, Rice, and Myers
– Cheney admitting to helping to authorize torture waterboarding etc. (on top of Bush’s own admission last Feb. via spokesman Tony Fratto that he authorized torture waterboarding).
– Obama selecting an un-Christian bigot to do the invocation at his inauguration
– Fed rate dropping to zero
– So many people insisting on prosecuting the perps criminalizing politics over mere policy differences.

God, how I’m looking forward to “post-partisanship.”

Yea MM, here too! It is 25 here, due to rise to 35! I love the cold and snow. And we have just a dusting.

By Twisted Sister?

nor is using Government resources to disseminate such material. Well, in the states I’ve lived in, anyway. University students have privacy expectations. Staff? Nuh-uh.
But, hey, IOKIYARRFA
(racist republican from alaska).

And I hear she just got a 20% raise approved–by a commission she appointed, after starting <2yrs ago making 47% more than her predecessor.
My contempt for Bible Spice knows no bounds. That’s the only good thing about the Blagojevich circus–it’s knocked her right outta the spotlight.

FunnyD
OK, OK, it’s _also_ a good thing that a scumbag politician is being held accountable. FITZ!

I didn’t see snow until my 30’s so I love cold weather.

Uh, no. I’ll go see if I can find some…

And I thought the country was in a state of shock (doctrine style) over the last seven years.

evidently it is in Alaska… but then again, so is taking bribes as a senator or using he governor’s office to wage private family feuds…

Well, you’re both welcome to come on up here to my neighborhood and cart off all the cold and frozen precip. you can carry. Preferably off my driveway and the hills/overpasses between my house and my job!

FunnyDiva
I live in Seattle, dammit! I wanted to drive in icky white stuff, I’d move to effing Toronto!

Oh CT, give her my best. What a night!

!!! We always had some cold and snow in PA/DE, but once we moved to Cleveland — wow! I found out what snow was, and could be due to things like the Alberta Clipper and Lake Effect snow. We thought we would be here three or four years, now 28 and love snow.

Funnydiva,

From a previous thread regarding your white precipitation question. The stuff you were referring to is neither sleet, sneet, snow, or any of those. It is called graupel – snow pellets. It is a drier cousin of hail.

sowry.

graupel anything like gradue?
NOLa word for poo.

No,
Bob Rivers
still looking…

Surprised they didn’t have access to RNC servers.

Definition of gradue :.

(gră’dü)

1.

1. (n.) Anything gross and unidentifiable, usually sticky, that can be found almost everywhere.

Origins: A blending of gross and residue.

Example: Gradue can be found under the bed, on subway rails, stuck in one’s teeth, or anywhere else one can think.

Oh,
thanks!
graupel
oooh, sounds all jargon-y and everything. Maybe a little Frenchy-ish, though…

Put on your graupel boots. It is icy-ish outside.

LOL. Nope – it is formed in a similar way to hail, but instead of water drops being ‘recycled’ to the higher cloud layers and then getting frozen creating literal ice balls, graupel already snowflakes that get recycled upwards, and get collected/stuck together. The graupel is very light (kind of like styrofoam pellets!) and melts rather quickly unless it collects in a drift on the north side of something. Even then it doesn’t last very long.

But for funnydiva’s sake – it is probably related ha ha!

No worries, I was just surprised to think you might be into the T Sister. /s

My wishes for a speedy recovery to Mrs. Tuttle. (Foot injuries are a bummer.)

Down south we just call then shit boots.

shit kickers.

Good word. Never seen it written before.

wow, thanks
how did you know I’m an information junkie?
Are you a meteorolololologist?

And that is exactly the crap that was accumulating on my car–and the road. But it was just wet enough to stick together a bit and accumulate around the wiper hinges and side mirrors. It sure slowed traffic to a crawl!

FunnyD

OMG these are fabulous! And I don’t even do Christmas.

sort of like when it rains in Cali the first time during rainy season. Fools in cars slow down, look up at the sky and say, “what is that shit failing from the sky? where oh where is my sunshine?” Then they slam into the car ahead of them due to the confusion.

Well…for you, I could try a little T sister.
My pet peeves are stereo in the workplace and too much of the same thing for too long. I have 3 favorite holiday CDs plus a couple more with tracks I like and I still spent a few hours this year putting the best of those into a mix I could live with. Even “shuffle” on a 3CD changer isn’t quite enough variety…

FunnyD
CaliGirl meets Graupel, film at 11

I only like on Christmas CD.. James Browns Funky Christmas.

That B 52’s riff is a good one though.

OH, I remember that. Except in the Bay Area it was more “OMFG! It’s F-ing raining. HURRY! FASTER! Gotta get there sooner so I can get inside!”
Then all those stupid CA-ians moved up here and do the same thing. Here, where it rains for, like, 97 days out of 100 in winter!

And don’t get me started on the Darwin Award Finalists I’ve seen this week amid the snow and ice. “No, asshat, I do not want to share your Darwin Award. It’s all yours. Now just go the Fork around me and I’ll wave as I pass you when you’ve wrapped your stoopid ass around a parked car or put it in a ditch”

And I’m no expert in bad-weather driving. I’m a wimp. But the book-larnin’ has come in handy. You know, basic physics? Right, Scotty?

FunnyD

shameless drive-by self-promotion, of a very minor sort:

one of my “contributions” to the ‘name the Bush memoirs’ thread at DKos made the list of top comments for the day:

11) My Pet Gloat by punaise — 85

now I can retire with fame and fortune, right?

Hey CT,

I just read you excellent Oxdown diary on the early history of the occupation of Iraq. Excellent stuff!

They’ve also got “Hey, you! get offa my house” (instead of offa my cloud) by a Frank Sinatra sound alike. Very mobstah.
Then there’s a little commentary/mockumentary called “the under-tree world of jacques cousteau”

But I have a pretty wide silly streak in my sense of humor.

FunnyD

I’m kind of an info junkie as well. But living in Montana with all the wierd weather we’ve been having – we have had a graupel fall about 5 times already just in the last month here. My mom and I did some research on it because neither of us remembered seeing it here like this before.

would you settle for a golf-clap from a fello-firepup and pun admirer?

FunnyD

fellow firepup, even…

Nope, back to work! What do you think KOS is unionized or something? *geesh*

And congratulations…)

“settle”? I’d be honored.

a goat by any other name would smell as sweet.
a goat in the hand is worth two in the bush.

it’s lonely here at the top…. :~)

Good night, sleep tight,

This is a test. My little spinning thingie in the right corner of the computer won’t stop a spinnin’.

I do not know who is moderating tonight, but I know that the firedoglake I used to hang out at – a comment like “she is fat as shit and her voice is gone” would have at LEAST gotten some kind of “Gentle reminder” to not say harmful things about others.

I don’t know this FDL.
