*heh* I’d be best categorized as the Hick…! *hic* ;-)
aloha tut — how’s paradise tonight?
Aloha, Suz and lln pups…! *g*
Gorgeous day here, except for Tebow’s pathetic performance, it would’ve been an awesome day…! ;-)
i loved bogg’s headline downstairs about the game…. its been snowing around me but no snow here… yet. weather dood keeps saying snow at the beach so i’m hopeful
Power to the people!
I went to Occupy Mancos today (for about 20 minutes). Guess Ima radical now.
Then I went to a Nia class. I’m whipped!
dave! tell us about the occupy? do that have tents? do they have sleepers? i’ve not heard of mancos — where’s that?
Wendy wrote a diary about it, that’s how I hooked up with them.

Snow, snow and more snow here today. Lovely and cold, about 23 and due to dip to 16 degrees. About 5 inches, I’d guess. Roast chicken and yams tonight. Read all day, and that was wonderful.
sweet — thanks dave – i somehow missed that
hey ce — sounds like a wonderful day. are ya curled up all nice and cozy with a fire blazing?
Photos of sweaty women doing Nia, with a nice song:
Rain Perry – Airborne
i’ve not heard of nia yoga… what’s different about it?
Awesome job, 4cdave…! Every Occupy needs the support these days…! ;-)
It’s mostly dance moves, non-impact aerobic workout. Everybody in class was doing it for the first time, and we sucked, but it was a blast.

sweet… the having a blast is the most important part
Another epic retouched toon, Suz!
How you doing?
John Lee Hooker and Bonnie Raitt play “I’m In The Mood”
hey newton — i’m warm and i’m inside and i’m impatiently waiting for snow
how’s the bay area tonight?
oooo i love that
Curled up yes! Fire last night, but a wee too cold for a fire tonight (damn that lack of fireplace doors). Sure wish I had my Dad’s old woodstove.
I’m warm and inside also, but snow (or any precip for that matter) isn’t on the menu down here. Dry and chilly, very nice.
Bonnie Raitt is another argument in favor of human cloning.
sing sing sing
i wish you had a wood stove too — have ya checked around on ebay etc?
I’m totally stoked that the 49ers are moving on…! What a game for the ages…! ;-)
its down to 36 in tillamook and 37 here — weather dood said that those at sea level will be the last to cool down – i’m sure it will happen — only questions is will i be awake for it (laughing)
forking amazing last two minutes…..i had convinced myself they were gonna lose
4 lead changes in the last three minutes, thank dawg, the Niners wound up on top…! ;-)
I just watched the game.
Mike Singletary must have himself a very big grin on right now. What a fantastically entertaining win.
evening, Suzzzz, CT, firegods
Eric Clapton – Layla ( Unplugged Version )
jen put this as her facebook status earlier (fyi mike is a raider fan)
i had not thought of her birthdate like that… *slapping forehead* of course she’s a 49er fan!
hey ppd — how ya doing tonight?
Hey PPDCUS! How are you?
Aloha, PPD…!
unplugged is my fav version of layla… saw him do it twice and both times he did it unplugged
forking awesome tune dood
And hiya to all! Sorry for my bad manners.
Clapton has to be in the top 10 guitarists of the last half-century.
*heh* So it was pre-ordained, M’dear…! ;-)
jen’s a 9r fan and mike’s a raider. the bay bridge series is always exciting at their house.
Why Walk When You Can Fly – Mary Chapin Carpenter
hiya CE — just fine, Suzzzz — hiya CT
lucky
9ers … wOOt !
*Doing Happy Snoopy dance*
I knew the 9ers had enough time to drive down the field … both Defensive Coaches will have nightmares tonight !
Time to give these sore muscles a rest.
Goodnight, peeps. Be good to one another.
Namaste.
petro! how’s toronto tonight dood?
*heh* Did I ever mention that I despise da Raiders…? As much as the Evil Empire(Yankees), even…! ;-)
g’nite dave — namaste
Frizzin’ bloody cold !
It’ll warm up on Monday, but tonight it’s Irish Coffee for all !
jen’s got mixed bay area loyalties… she’s a 49r fan and an oakland a’s fan
can ya put extra whipped cream on mine dood?
hey petro
i’m hoping the giants can at least chip away at the packers’ tomorrow. the niners can take the giants, but not the packers…
that’s me daring to be declarative and stuff, in the hopes that the niners GET the packers, and drill them mercilessly.
Maybe we can add something to tonight’s lead line –

that’s one of my favorite youtubes…what a gem!
hiya margot, ltns
I made this batch with Bailey’s and real whipped Cream … Huge Mug coming your way, Suz !
hahahahahaha *snort* hahahahaha thanks dood
hey margot — how ya doing tonight?
hi PPD, you’re right, ltns
oooooo thanks dood. tis yummy with a capital yum
Dude ! I called ya twice this past week but the phone just rang out …
Packers have some weakness at Defense and Eli is peaking right now. It will be a great game. The 9ers Defense got shredded in the last 4 minutes but their Offense was brilliant !
good thanks, it’s cold here but not snowing. A very sleepy day though. Football games put me right to sleep…
Oh, I saw the Canadian prefix and thought, ‘That bastard Harper is ringing again…’
••••
Yeah, but the Packers have size and down-field momentum, not unlike the Pats… As badly as I misjudged the 49ers chances this year (and I was miserably off), I don’t see them getting past the Pack.
i was making member calls and other duties this afternoon so i only saw the last two minutes of that 9r game. that was not sleep inducing :)
i love sleepy day. i’m hoping tomorrow is a snowy sleepy day here — i’ve noticed i tend to get a lot done when i’m all cocooned
{{{ Margot }}}
How’s things ?
Meanwhile, my much heralded Denver D was shredded by Beiber and Co…! *gah*
LOL … Harpuh’s number begins with 666 !
****
Agreed ! Rodgers, like BieberBrady can win a game without Defense, as he’s done much of the season …
i have no sympathy for the tebow
Quite an exciting 49′ers – Saints game this afternoon.
dammit, whipped cream spewed all over the rug.. thank goodness i spared token and the laptop
Mr. Bundchen has been Zen-like all Season …
What surprised me today was that the Donkos couldn’t have more success again the Pats Defense, as they did last week agin the Stillers.
Nor do I, M’dear…! I just hoped that the Denver D would’ve kept the score much lower…! ;-)
Back in the day, when ChristoPath™ quarterback Mark Brunell was crediting Gawd for all of his team’s good fortune, a reporter had the temerity to ask him post-loss if Gawd’s hand was evident when they get smoked… I think he was with Jacksonville at the time-
I thought the little puke was gonna start weeping.
I actually think BillBel told his Offense not to go up to 50 points, since it would just add insult to injury …
ha! i’m surprised he didn’t come back with something about kick-off being at god’s bedtime or some such
He was a good quarterback, but he was every bit a ‘Tebow’ that JuiceBox Jeebus is.
They certainly had the opportunity to put 50+ on the board…! 8-(
shrudder
Oh dear, what i really want!
I was screaming for Brady Quinn well before the fourth quarter, newt…! ;-)
I think they ran up a huge score just cuz their Defense has been weak all year. Brady is on fire, as is Rodgers, Eli & Alex Smith.
Do you think Flacco can turn it on tomorrow ?
I didn’t see the Pats game. I mean, why bother?
[[[Petro!]]]] I am sleeping a lot, for some reason.
my tiki head one isn’t in their catalog anymore :(
dang it.
dang it.
dang it.
oh well, tomorrah is anothah day.
I do foresee a great game for Flacco, however, I think Ray Lewis and Co. will get the job done for him…!
Christine !
Back in the day when I lived close to the Rockies, we had a Lakeside Party and well, had 1-2 Kegs too many …
Long story short, we crammed the Cabin’s Wood Stove with every piece of Dried Wood we could cram in and lit it up. The inside temp went to about 110F … *g*
Sorry about your Aints, M’dear…! ;-)
What’s a body to do? :)
hey senator — sorry about your saints losing – how ya doing?
As long as you feel refreshed, that’s important. For some reason, I am also sleeping longer than usual these past couple of months ... prolly making up for all the years of not sleeping enough … *g*
Senator McCurnin, from the great state of wherever – had there been time left on the clock, I have no doubt that these two teams would still be trading scores. The Saints are an excellent club.
{{{ Mary }}}
Drew Brees has had a Hall-of-Fame season and he played his best today. Both teams suffered Defensive collapse in the last 5 mins.
They sure are. It was a great game.
I am fine. How about you, Suz?
No doubt…! What a game…! But, somebody had to win…! ;-)
i’m still waiting for that forking snow… its fallen to the north of me, the south of me, and the east of me but not a forking flake here — yet. weather dood swears up and down its gonna happen here but…
i’m all layered up, just put a new log into the stove, and am kicking back.
fuck — i can’t believe we finally got a lln thread to forking 99 and and i had to forking snag the happy lucky forking 99
sigh
Sound comfy.
Maybe we in these northern reaches just need more sleep; or more sunlight, or more Vit. D. I saw an ad for sardines and immediately craved some. I think that’s the Vit. D talking, because I don’t like them much…
Both teams had good reason to believe that the clock was on their side in the last 4:02 of this game. If you are the Saints or the 49ers, you feel like grabbing the lead with very little time left is a plus. And neither club imagined the other getting it back.
I measured – the final 7:32 of clock in this game, less commercials – took a whopping 36 minutes to play. Talk about stretching time!
Mmmm … Sardines with loads of diced onions and just enough Hot Pepper to tingle your nose.
I take 10,000 Vitamin D every day during Winter …
It was pretty amazing. I wish I could have been there.
Me, too. Candlestick off the hook is pretty fun.
Suz, I’ve just been reading along…..but now I’m laughing out loud. How DO you do it?! I’m enjoying this lively thread …. and that you snagged the 99 and the 100 just reassures me of your magic. Carry on!
It was a good old-fashioned shootout, like we see up here in the Canadian Flutie League. I was in fact remembering Doug Flutie quite a lot during this game.
hey dearie — i forking swear, murphy and his forking law — that forker has gotta be kin and one of these days, him and i are gonna have a wee bit of a toe-to-toe at a family reunion
how ya doing tonight?
I’m doing well…..just enjoying some quiet time. I enjoyed a good laugh. I’m glad you are doing well, too.
Not just the 99…! It’s another twofer…! ;-)
I still remember Flutie’s ‘Hail Mary’ against Miami in ’84…! ;-)
sigh
Flutie! I just saw the ‘Miami Miracle’ on the tube last week!
His legacy in Canada is incredible. Not only did he play every down to his fullest, he also kept reminding Canadians to be proud of their players and not relegate them to second-class status.
i’ve gotta bail peeps. i’ve got the webinar in the morning — lardy it starts at 11 so i’ve gotta be up way before the crack of noon in order to be sufficiently caffeinated enough to make sense when giving my report.
looking forward to seeing what tut’s got on tap the next couple nights — hope to see ya there.
thank ya for letting me hang out with ya
g’nite all
Speaking of which, M’dear, I’m up top tomorrow nite and not sure when I’ll be available for lln…! I’ll shoot for being available for the first hour or so…!
Second Batch of Irish Coffee is ready … with a sprinkling of Crème de menthe on the Whipped cream.
G’nite all ! Enjoy tomorrow’s games …
Sweet Dreams, Suz…!
Pleasant dreams, Petro and all…!
Hey all! just checking in to spread the love.
Not that I track this stuff for no particular reason,…but I think we should free Suzanne of arbitrary numbers like 99 or 100.
Or am i late to the discussion. I’m not a number person.
nite you guys
Sweet dreams, newtonusr.
Because you should be happy. Rules only work when they work. If numbers matter why aren’t they in our How We Spend Our Tax Dollars Conversations. Oops, those aren’t real…………
