YSaC, Vol. 799: Hugh shook me all night long.
Hugh, Hugh, Hugh Inventory
Hugh Inventory to numerous to mention everything. We have furniture, antique jewelry, home decor, antique and new glassware worth the drive.
Hugh inventory? Mousekateer Roll Call!
Actually, there’s only two Jackmans (Jackmen?) in stock, but we’ve got plenty of Hefners left!
Thanks for the link, Amy!
Happy Birthday, Grampdaddy!!!
Ok – on to the snark!
Yay! Happy Birthday Grampdaddy !♥!
Happy Birthday Grampdaddy! Put on your prettiest red nightie and birthday tiara*!
*Because, hey, it’s your day, scarring your children is your right.
Happy birthday, Grampdaddy!
Oh, and I’ll take both the Jackmen, please. You don’t need to wrap them.
Hey, we can all have plenty of Hugh Jackmen… and top hats… and black cats… we just need David Bowie to build as a machine.
[/ “The Prestige” movie reference (and spoilers) ]
Us, not as.
*sigh* why do I always see the errors after the edit time’s run out?
What makes you think we are scarred, christina? *twitch twitch twitchtwitchtwitch*
Wait, would two Jackmans be a doublehugh?
Happy Birthday, Grampdaddy! I believe turning 60 is the milestone at which you may now say anything that comes to your mind without any editing whatsoever, and be as crankity as you want, and everyone will say you’re “cute”. Enjoy!
And enjoy those pointy-breasted burlesqueteers from Christina, too.
I’ve just been informed that the warm-up act is TacoMmagic, performing the “Forbidden Thong Dance”.
In his last performance before his YSaC sabbatical.
I believe turning 60 is the milestone at which you may now say anything that comes to your mind without any editing whatsoever, and be as crankity as you want…
First of all, I would like to make it clear that I am NOT the “Troll Who Must Not Be Spoken to (or of)”, although I do fit the description above, so aptly presented By Andie.
Thank you all for your generous wishes for my birthday. I do truly appreciate being a part of this community and the sense of acceptance and belonging expressed by all of you. More comments in response to your good wishes will follow……..
I regret to inform you that the “Forbidden Thong Dance” is banned in this and 47 other states and the District of Columbia. I think the nearest location is in North Dakota, and it is allowed only in late January and Early February.
Therefore, it will be cold enough to freeze the spheroids off a metallic primate when we see the dance number.
Grampdaddy, make a wish, blow out the candles, and have a big slice of, er, coffee! I’ll be back later with the cake. No, really!
I still have the firemen (sorry, firepersons) on standby. Can’t have the sprinkler system going off, ya know.
Do they have Hugh Joses?*
*I can see the direction today is heading…
LL, the AP stylebook suggests “firefighter,” FWIW.
I still prefer firemen.. 😉
No Hammy, that’s either:
José Can You See?
or
Fire José
(Where’s Steve-O when you need him?)
I prefer firemen, too. I REALLY prefer firemen.
[FD corey] Requisite term-of-art is “fire fighter”. Refer to the local jurisdiction to ascertain whether that is rendered as one, or two, words
[/corey]
Oops, Lola has already referred to AP stylebook on this. Well, and good, but AP SB does not endorse serial commas and a number of other sensible conventions in English as I was taught it, so I snub it to show my scorn {G}
Capn: “AP Stylebook, I fart in your general direction.”
You’ve got to love a web site where commenters snub the AP Style Guide with purpose, instead of just ignoring it.
Lawyers have the Bluebook for correct citation format. I hate that book with every fiber of my being. When I was on law review, I used to have dreams about it. I don’t just fart in that book’s general direction, I … uh… yeah. You get the idea.
You wish to burn it in effigy, specifically a giant wicker representation stuffed with your former professors and barnyard animals, while you sing a happy song?
I hate the Bluebook with the fire of a thousand suns…yet I still appreciate how easy it is to find someone else’s source when they have used proper Bluebook citation.
Have heard that smearing the bluebook in elderberries and flinging it, simitar-like, into a nest of hamsters in knees-bent advancing-behaviour produces a saluatory effect.
I get asked to find the Bluebook cite style for random/obscure references.
Grr. That’s all I will say.
Do they have Hugh Joses?*
Only when they are with Hugh Jorges.
Happy Happy B-day!
Happy B-day Grampdaddy!
Happy Birthday Grampdaddy!
Happy Birthday to you
you should go to a zoo
with the not.a.lions and monkeys
and the elephants too.
Your version is much nicer than mine :-p The version I usually write is:
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
You look like a monkey,
And you smell like one too!
(Of course, Grampdaddy probably smells more like Old Fart than monkey 😀 …. Happy birthday!)
After a day of first-graders (?), I suspect he smells like vodka.
Or, considering today’s post:
Happy birthday to Hugh,
Happy birthday to Hugh,
Happy birthday to Grampdaddy,
Happy birthday to Hugh!
I made it nicer… the original line is “you belong in a zoo”
May you live many years,
May you drink many beers!
Get plastered,
You ba- – ad boy!
Happy Birthday To You!
Now if he would just show up and see how much we love him!
That’s not vodka, that “Grampdaddy’s Special Medication”.
To all above: Thank You for your “Happies”.
EB, Manda would probably say I’m more like a new fart. The old ones tend to dissipate and spread out – therefore, less noticeable.
*passes Grampdaddy biggest flask ever* *
*holds a case of Grey Goose
I kind of picture him as kind of a boxed wine guy. Bordeaux in a Box. Either that or a Two Buck Chuck.
Happy Birfday Gramps! Keep the fire extinguisher close to the cake!
*smooches* Lubs ya
It’s his birthday, so I’ll splash out. If he wants to keep Mr. Boston in the freezer the rest of the time, that’s his business.
What is Mr. Boston? Is it naughty?
Smedley, it is only if you have objections against alcohol consumption.
It is a lower-priced and lower-quality brand than the one I named. I know this from personal experience.
Mr Boston’s only competition is with McCormick, which is as awful in taste much the way isopropyl smells.
I have no objections whatsoever. I thought maybe it was to keep a drink stiff.
Wait a minute, doesn’t cold shrink things?
I know how to make Mr. Boston stiff!
Add Jell-O.
That’ll work on any number of “Misters”, depending upon the method of use of “add Jell-O”
Nah Mudsy, I’m much more a boxer wine kinda guy. Sit around in my boxers and wine…
Of course, you all know that fine, old, Jewish wine: “Moise, I waaaaannnnnntttaaaa go Miami Beach, already.”
*passes Grampdaddy biggest flask ever* *
I just KNEW there were more than two reasons why I love you! 🙂
Happy Happy Birthday Grampdaddy! Here’s some sliced coffee to go with “the biggest flask ever” from Lola. Did you notice the sliced coffee’s frosting with Happy Birthday. You should eat something while drinking from the flask.
Oooh, and a frosting rose on my coffee slice, too! Thank you!
Happy B-day G-Diddy, the shirt is in the mail!
I thought that said “the shirt is in the mall!”
Which is probably more accurate coming from Hammy.
Not the happy-fun-time shirt, I hope….
That’s AMAZING!, and it isn’t a Taco T-shit, either!
Nope, it’s a genuine, officially licensed “Quiet Shirt Time” T shirt!!! I think Hammy made it themselves!
I helped 😉
You sure did Pam(EB)Can, you and several bottles of Viagra…
Did I miss another un-socking?
No, just an edumacated guesstimate.
I don’t see a denial.
Awww, and I tried so hard to be not-obvious, not abusing the :-p and … like I usually do…. Ah well :-p
Happy Day, Grampdaddy!
*queues balloon release*
Yes, I say. Happy Birthday to this Grampdaddy chap. Well done, old man.
NOW CAN I GET SOME FREAKIN’ LOVE AROUND HERE?!?!?!!??
I’m sorry, Hugh are you?
8)
Looks like that flustered English actor who has made a career out of being a Flustered Englishman.
:squints, tilts head:
Or my cousin Charlotte.
I’m trying to hear, in my mind, the “Hugh Grant Englishman” accent on “FREAKIN’ LOVE”.
Likely sounds a bit like the “f*ck, f*ck-ity f*uck” bit from Four Weddings and a Funeral.
I say that all the time. (Without the asterixes.)
Oh boy… We gonna get a Tacosplode outta those asterixen, aren’t we?
Asterixen is my new favorite word. Also, band(/artist) name of the day?
This weekend at the 40-Watt, it’s Asterixen! With her new hit single, Don’t Censor Me. And, tonight only, the opening act is Comma and the Chameleons!
Needs to be “Aästri*en” for the über-hip band name (with the asterisk rendered as an “x” sort-of-shape).
To be fair, I wasn’t trying to hide the words from people, just the filters that can block this site from folks at work.
Andie, I say it all the time too. That’s really all I remember from that movie.
At 60, you now have:
Happy birth anniversary GrampDaddy.
Ooh, a birthday! Happy Birthday Grampdaddy!
So, where is the cake?
Or is it an octagonal hexagon cake, and I have not assumed the correct dimensionality to perceive it yet?
A tesselated cake?
With a little unblubler on top.
I ordered the square cake, Capn. I thought 5′ x 7′ would be enough, especially since it would have three sides for extra frosting. Should be arriving from Ish-tabula.
I think you mean–should be arriving from Cake Wrecks :-p
Yay, Happy Birthday!
I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.
I love you.
Awww… We are getting much love from the spambots!
Hey, love is love. I’ll take it!!!
Is this like the commentatoration version of the I love you email virus?
Get away from me, stalker. You have no idea who I am.
Someone click on their namelink. I’m afraid to.
Maybe this is karma coming around for yesterday.
I’ll do it later from my phone because I really don’t care if it gets a virus, I’m getting a new one soon.
Clicked the link. it appears to be a search engine/bookmark app that may be affiliated with aol. Not very interesting, I was hoping for some good alien spambot pron.
**Puts on “Birthday” by The Beatles**
Happy Birthday, Grampdaddy!
Astro – far better choice than “Why Don’t We Do it in the Road”.
Plenty many thanks!
Oh. I feel I should tell you the rest of the playlist:
“Birthday”
“When I’m Sixty-Four”
“Yer Blues”
“For Hugh’s a Jolly Good Fellow”
“Why Don’t We Do it in the Road?”Ever wonder why the Beatles never did the song “When I’m Sixty-Nine”? I’m sure it would be a big hit and everyone would be happy.
Don’t make me Andy! Hugh wouldn’t like me when I’m Andy!
I have a coworker… her nickname is ‘Bad Andy’.
Guess she’ll have to share the nickname.
I must ask – Is there a Good Andy and what did Bad Andy do to earn that nickname?
Good Andy= Andy Of Mayberry.
SJ… have no idea where she got the nickname. I thought about asking her, then realized… I really didn’t want to know. There is such as thing as knowing too much about your coirkers.
LL, I can never know enough about my coirkers.
*nudges Lola, whispers*
“You’re smart, what’s a coirker?”
I think coirker is brilliant. I am gonna use that.
Hate dealing with cosmirkers. Makes me want to slap them silly.
I work across the cube-hall from Marketing. They define coirkers.
BombD.
Coirker = annoying coworker = coworker with the personality to potentially drive you right into the nether regions of hell or jail (because you’ve had to kill them).
I work with a woman who has the nickname of “Scary Mary”. She’s actually quite nice, it’s the fact that she’s built like a football player…. one giant rectangle of a woman.
I also went to college with a guy who’s real name was Jason Greyson (cruel parents!).
My brother once had an intership where he shared a desk with Bryan Ryan and Bitch Heidi.
Intership… Does that travel between dimensions? Can’t be time, we already have the Tardis…
Or maybe just between… Ships? No wait, that’s a dinghy…
In keeping with the level of the snark today, maybe a RHIB? Emphasis on R?
Ooh, I’ve driven a few of those. Some other small craft referred to with initials, as well. RHIB mostly better forgetting on and off other vessels.
I’ve been to ports where I have forgotten how to get on and off the ship too.
I have often not been on boats.
Have you ever been on a boat that you weren’t on? Or one that you might have been on, but you never got it – well, it’s all due to the FCI and the CBA, and the conglomerates controlling the internuts, and the spies that want to take away our rights to get on or off boats that we might not have sent but did or didn’t, but no one knows because the telecommunteevees are stealing them.
I also went to college with a guy who’s real name was Jason Greyson (cruel parents!).
I went to school with a guy named Buster Hyman.*
*This is, sadly, completely true.*
Boats can be better than trains
*innocent expression*
I went to school with an unfortunately early bloomer whose last name was Horney. 7th grade really sucked for her.
I see Grampdaddy is hitting the flask early and often.
Somebody has to do it and it’s too important to leave to some young kid, still wet behind the ears…..
Don’t make me Andy!
Another example of the ‘Power of Punctuation’, in this case, the comma:
Don’t, make me Andy?
Don’t make me, Andy?
Well, it is National Punctuation Day!
And that would be part of the inspiration for my band/artist of the day and the opening act :-p
Hugh’s on first?
Does Hugh Hefner cross “the line” by definition ………
Odd that today’s post would feature good ol’ Hef, as I had a dream last night that I was a Playboy Bunny.
That’s pretty awesome, Bridgete!
Did Hef ask you to handle his briefs?
EEEEWWW. Not without a Level 4 biohazard suit. And a blowtorch.
Is that a good dream or a nightmare? ‘Cause I’d rather practice law, frankly.*
*Not that I can,** and not that it’s easy to get hired these days; I speak generally.
**Well, I can, but not legally unless pro se.
If what I’ve heard is right he doesn’t have any of those kind of briefs, Andie.
It was an…odd dream. Not really good or bad.
Or Pro per
Side effect of tequila, like as not [G]
That’s a rather delayed side effect, I had that margarita on Tuesday.
Hugh Jardon?
No, that’s what Bianchi would say 😉
Something tells me it would take a great deal of technology for Hef to get a Hugh Jardon these days.
See Alice?
Or Con-Agra’s competetor, Vie.
I thought Jordon was “Louis” but I could be Beaujolais
I’ll see your Jackmen and raise you a Laurie.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a little of that action!
:checks Hugh bin:
Dang, all that’s left is this Hugh Downs. Wait…Oooh, a Hugh Dancy!
Can you trade a Hugh Dancy for a Mr. Darcy? What’s the Dancy-to-Firth exchange rate?
Nowhere near the exchange rate of a Depp!
But then, what is? I believe the Depp has the strongest trade across the board today. It really seems to remain stable no matter how the market looks like. Unlike the Harrison, which has seen a steep decrease in the last few years, and the Gibson. The market tanked for the Gibson this year.
But will the Depp have the long term return of a proven performer, like the Connery?
The Gibson tanked farther than The BP.
I wonder if they might have a dusty old Beaumont in the bottom of a milk crate or something. Because I really enjoyed his cardigan-and-pipe wisdom as he taught Wally and the Beave lessons in life.
The Gable and Bogart may not be terribly current, but they are not without value. I might be interested in those.
If you have any vintage Brandos I’d like one of those.
Those last three are collectors items. Although I think if you found one, it wouldn’t be nearly as great as treasure hunters assume. They are BEYOND dusty, I’d think.
I’d like a Grant (as in Cary, not the other on – I don’t think I’ve had my shots yet) and a Connery. Both of whom aged very well.
Meredith dear, how old are you anyway? As you grow older (ask Grampdaddy) you’ll appreciated those that age gracefully.
*Investigates Meredith’s profile pictures on FB*
She looks to be about my age.
I, personally, would be interested in the Sarandon model, or possibly an mid-term Geena Davis.
Oh no, Artsy, I do appreciate. I was in high school before I had a crush on a celebrity who was still living. And aside from Star Wars, I don’t think I saw a movie made after 1960 till I was about 16. Young Henry Fonda was my favorite.
I was merely speaking of their…current state.
Jimmy Stewart. I know, I know. Who can control that to which one’s heart will respond to?
I think HamCan probably could from his Space Station.
That darn heart string manipulator is on the fritz again…probably just need to refill the eye of newt reservoir.
Isn’t Dancy wild?
He’s been tranked, ear-tagged, and relocated to a preserve with the other Hughs.
Hugh Safari!
*Has Hugh in his cross-hairs…whispers to guide*
Me, “Should I take him?”
Guide, “No, we’ll wait for one with a fully matured horn we can do better then 3 inches.”
Me, “OK, PamCan would be more amiable to the mounting of a mature horn.”
PamCan seems a little obsessed with horns. You know – horny.
Oh, I definitely appreciate the larger, more mature horns to mount. As long as they keep up, you know 😉
Just be sure to test your mount thoroughly to make sure they’re not trying to slip you a dud.
Grant! Grant! Get your Grants here!
Do you have any of this model?
Judy, Judy, Judy
Yummy, yummy, yummy
I WANT THAT ONE!!!!! I’ll take all ya got!
If you’re giving away any Ulysses S. Grants, I’ll take all those ya got. Although I’d prefer some Benjamin Franklins.
You might want to hold out for a William McKinley ($500), a Grover Cleveland ($1,000), a James Madison ($5,000), or a Salmon P. Chase ($10,000).
Hugh the hell is Salmon P. Chase?
Secretary of the Treasury under Lincoln.
**shaking LRC ***
WHY DO YOU KNOW THAT???
Because of her collection of $10,000 bills?
SJ, I will definitely hold out for one of those…. any one of them would be worth an amazing amount of money! (Beyond, you know, the actual number printed on them..)
SJ, the problem with those is that their value is all numismatic now.
That, and having any other currency on you while also bearing the Chase, places you at risk of being detained, searched, and the property held in evidence, for the “PC” of having “excess” cash onyout person while traveling. {GRRRRR}
He was from NH. He also went to Dartmouth and was in the same fraternity that, many years later, my father was in. Also in this fraternity was one of the guys who wrote the screen play for Animal House (the other three went to UMASS Amherst).
Chase was also the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court during the Andrew Johnson impeachment trial.
Every breath Hugh take
And every move Hugh make
Every bond Hugh break
Every step Hugh take, I’ll be watching Hugh
Every single day and every word Hugh say
Every game Hugh play
Every night Hugh stay, I’ll be watching Hugh
Oh can’t Hugh see Hugh belong to me?
*stalk stalk stalkity stalk*
Edit: That’s awkward. I used the reply box at the way bottom of the page.
Sorry, have some [NH Politics Corey] tags, or some [my dad went to Dartmouth and won’t let anyone forget it] tags.
EB: This is the Salmon P. Chase section of the Hugh store. So, I think you meant:
Every breath Chase takes
And every move Chase makes
Every bond Chase breaks
Every step Chase takes, I’ll be watching Chase
Every single day and every word Chase says
Every game Chase plays
Every night Chase stays, I’ll be watching Chase
Oh can’t Chase see Chase belongs to me?
LRC, would it make you uncomfortable if I say I sort of want you now?
Andie:
I’m a tapdancing robot moose in a lousy poncho. And you think you’re going to make me uncomfortable?
♥
LRC – I am seriously impressed. Tell me you didn’t ask Uncle Google.
Edit: Nope, I guess you didn’t.
[large bill corey]If you do happen to have one a collector would pay well above the face value in smaller, easily divisable bills due to the fact that there are very few of them out there. The large denominations were mainly used for transfers between banks and fell out of favor with the advent of electronic transfers.[/large bill corey]
No, I actually knew that. *le sigh at the sad, random plight that is my life*
Uncle Google and my wacky cousin Wiki do tell me that he was also the governor of Ohio and that Chase Bank is named for him.
I think they named the fish after him too. It was called a “johnson”.
For even more fun, here’s a nice-sized link to a list of other famous people who were born in NH.
http://www.nhliving.com/famouspeople/index.shtml
Hey CJ,
I love you. I love you. I love you.
I love you!
But are you all we need?
Ya know, ego-boosting spam is kind of nice in it’s own way. Kind of like a hug from a stranger without the creepy pants bulge. Oh great…Curse you Andie! And your ruination of Love Is All Around You!
You’re welcome.
I’m just picturing the conversation with the helpful staff that surely would make it worth the drive.
“So can you tell me about this piece over here?”
“It’s a Hugh.”
“Hmmm..okay…and what about this vase over here?”
“That’s a Hugh.”
“Ok then…”
*Slowly backs out of store.*
Was the guy who was naming the stuff named Adam or George?
Or maybe Bruce?
Bruce…. Almighty?
🙂
They’re all named Adam or George, but they all have the nickname of Hugh.
Hugh does?
No, Hugh grants.
Hugh’s nickname is Grant?
Perhaps this is nationalist bias on the part of the CL text filter, and this is an emporium run by asians. Thus, the products are all Hu.
Is that like fu? (Here we go again…)
I have google-fu and html-fu, does that count?
FU Hugh 2, Andie.
FUBAR?
I almost FUBARed my second cake last night. It was very nearly tragic.
…how many Hughs does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
I had a Hugh once, but it was the wrong hue. My Hugh was blue. And right on cue-
I’m Hugh, da-bu-dee, da-bu-da, bu-dah-bu-dee…
Thank you for the earworm!
*wanders off singing*
There’s some Hugh earrings to go with that earworm. Definitely worth the drive!
Hugh blew that snark!
Wooooow, I haven’t heard that song in ages! *checks iTunes* Oh, just kidding, it was last August.
YouTube video for this please!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc
Sorry, I don’t do pretty links.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlPrvzPolYA
The 5 6 7 8’s. “I’m Blue”
What does it mean when the post with a link disappears? I tried linking to another “Blue” song and the post went bye-bye.
Not to worry, Smedley, you’re probably just Awaiting Moderation.
5,6,7,8’s “I’m Blue” Youtube it.
Sorry, Camille, I have no patience. So if you want to do a little extra work, go crazy.
I thought it was Eifle 65 who did “Blue”.
Or was it a remake?
EDIT: Oops, Taco wasn’t paying attention to the conversation. Ignore me.
I think the young asian ladies version is an original.
Well they’re entirely different songs, that’s the part that my brain hadn’t grasped.
Smedley, I have no Moderator powers, sorry. You will have to await the Llamanun.
I am awaiting moderation, too, as I have no powers of moderation either. Too much or none, that’s my motto.
TN has managed to confues me too.
He said “Blue” so now I have LeAnn Rimes in my head.
My head being to much the blender most days, I also have
Tonya Tucker in there (for all the parallels she and LeAnn have career-wise–tho- who will be her “Glen Campbell” remains a question).
Blender now wants to toss visual cues of yellow-orange eye shadow about, too–not at all helpful
*electronic sputtering noises & “Norman” tag being ‘splody*
We’re not talking about foreplay again, are we?
I am awaiting awaiting, as I have no powers of Patience.
-Godot
“Blue” makes me think of Joni Mitchell.
I have plenty of powers of moderation*, except when speaking of the *hic* Bourbon…
* That’s “moderation” with a small “m”, unlike the capitalized one, which indicates the God-like control of the commentary…
I don’t know, all I can think is “Lucky lightbulb!”
Especially if it was Hugh Laurie…. Yum. (I just realized that if I somehow managed to marry Hugh Laurie my name would be Lori Laurie :-p Hum, that’s probably enough incentive to stick with MrEB 😉 That and he baked my cake last night…)
Hehe…is this a 420 reference or a Rule 34 reference?
I do not see the attraction AT ALL, and I’ve liked some freaky looking dudes. To me, he’s like a cross between Jeremy Irons & Uncle Creepy (and I’ll take Jeremy Irons over that any day).
Yeah… I couldn’t figured out a better way to phrase that :-p No, he actually baked an actual cake, in an actual oven… I baked a gorgeous cake, which promptly fell apart when I took it out of the pan. And then he came home, found me curled up on the floor in a ball of misery, and made another cake. It’s only about an inch tall, but it’s still enough to decorate for tomorrow… Now THAT’S love.
Protip: Wax paper in the bottom of the cake pan. Worked PERFECTLY. But don’t put flour or anything on TOP of the wax paper.
It’s the eyes. And the accent.
But mostly the eyes. And the accent.
Mmmmmm…
EB – Awww, he made you a cake! That is so sweet! He’s definitely a keeper.
I have eyes. I have an accent.
Parchment paper works really well also. That way you don’t have the waxy build up on your cake pans and intestines.
Hugh Laurie has an accent, too. And those blue eyes…
I ♥ parchment paper.
It’s useful for so many things in the kitchen, in crafts, and just generally around the house.
Funny, I would have taken you fro a Zig-Zag man…
Hey now, I haven’t worn a Zig-Zag painted fro since the 70’s!
Was going to make a comment about green frosting, but will not.
Waxed paper for sammitches; parchment for baking. Silicone in parchment paper will not bake out, unlike the wax in waxed paper.
Waxed paper is also an acceptable substitute for freezer paper for lining soap molds. The petroleum-based wax won’t saponify and peels off easily once the soap has set.
Saponify?
Help me, Uncle Google, you are my only hope…..
Oh. It means, to turn fat into soap. What a great word! But, how will I ever work it into casual conversation?
Oh, God… LRC is going to get the medical definition of “saponify”, and it is NOT pretty. Someone have the emergency flask ready.
Huh, I hadn’t thought there was really a difference between wax paper and parchment paper… Guess I’ll have to get some of the latter. Ah well, for tomorrow, it’ll be “Mmmmmm… Wax…..”
Which is different from Andie’s medical definition of saponification. That would be “Mmm…. grave wax….”
There’s a medical definition? Hold on…..
Nope. Still just getting soap. There is a web site called Saponify. They sell soap.
http://www.saponify.com.au/
Try “adipocere formation” or “soap mummy”.
It is what it sounds like – under the right burial conditions the fat in a human body can turn into a form of soap.
mmmmm Hugh Laurie. Dr. House is my boyfriend.
[cut and pasted medical corey that will produce gross mental images]
Saponification (Adipocere formation)
Sometimes putrefaction of a corpse does not lead to skeletonisation. Sometimes, during the breakdown of fat by hydrolysis and hydrogenation, conditions become too acidic for bacterial activity to continue. When this happens, the body fat remains as adipocere, a yellowish-white, greasy, waxy substance which smells of cheese, earth and ammonia. This substance floats on water, dissolves in hot alcohol and ether, and when burned produces a faint yellow flame.
Formation of adipocere, a natural form of preservation, is rare and requires a warm, moist environment as well as the participation of putrefactive bacteria including Clostridium welchii. It usually develops in subcutaneous tissues, especially in the cheeks, breasts and buttocks; on extremely rare occasions, the subcutaneous tissues of the entire body may be converted to adipocere. Viscera are very seldom involved. The adipocere will combine with mummified remains of muscles, fibrous tissues and nerves to form a naturally preserved corpse whose features are preserved. This takes upwards of 5 to 6 months after death, and the body may endure for years in this condition.
[/cut and pasted medical corey that will produce gross mental images]
–under the right burial conditions the fat in a human body can turn into a form of soap–
(sorry, I don’t know the magical formulae for the cool looking background quoting in this forum)
But is it effective on facial acne?
I don’t know but given that we know that it floats, what will dissolve it, and what it looks like when burned, I am surprised Drs. Igor and Sparky didn’t try that.
Dr. Igor: Hey, look! This dead guy is all… soapish. ** pokes corpse with a stick **
Dr. Sparky: Heh-heh, let’s light him on fire.
Dr. Igor: Quit it!!! That ain’t science-like. Let’s see if he floats.
Dr. Sparky: Oh, no! Here comes the Professor! He’ll know we’ve been messing with it!
Dr. Igor: Quick! Douse it with some hot alcohol and ether! Maybe it’ll dissolve!
Bombdude – It’s [blockquote] and [/blockquote], but replace the [] with the greater than/ lesser than signs.
Replace the brackets with a period? That’s gonna get messy. Maybe angle brackets? SHAZAM!
Thanks SJ!
Edit: Great, SJ, I saw it before you edited it and now you’ve gone and taken away my evidence. Now I just look like an evil pervect… *sigh*
[It’s [blockquote] and [/blockquote], but replace the [] with .}
Like that?
Apparently not.
<blockquote>like this</blockquote>
Does that mean it’s a witch?
Sorry, I lack the html-fu. I can’t get angle brackets to show up no matter how much I curse at them.
EB knows the HTML-fu. There is some normalizing character (in shell/perl it’s the backslash), that will make a metacharacter a normal character and allow it to show up instead of completing a function.
I never metacharacter I didn’t like…
SJ, you have to use trickery…. it’s & lt ; and & gt ; (without the spaces)
As far as human body/soap: “Fight Club” anyone?
Oh, that’s right, can’t talk about it.
Waxed paper also works well for waxing a snow – saucer for the wintertime, a la Clark Griswold. According to one of my female children who will remain nameless (rhymes with ‘panda-p’) you should also wax the inside of the saucer. Vigorously.
No, I don’t know why.
It keeps the anal probes from sticking to the transporter platform.
Bombdude, pervect? Was that an Asprin reference? I love the Myth series!
That would have to be a pretty big lightbulb.
An aside to HamCan, I didn’t see what you did there with the
“Liar” comment from yesterday until about midnight. I burst into laughter at a most inopportune time. Made me seem crazier than usual.
A lot of my jokes have a delayed reaction…Usually groans though.
But laughter is always better than flames.
None, I hear Hugh prefers to screw in the backseat of a car.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRAMPDADDY!!
…ahhh….this brings to mind….
“I am Hugh!”
“You are me?”
“No, I am Hugh!”
“Stop saying that! Make him stop saying that!”
Obscure movie ref, 42 OBOs to first person that gets it……
Oh crap, that’s so familiar. I can’t conjur up the movie though.
What’s up, Doc?
DING! DING! DING! We have a winner!
Yep “What’s Up, Doc?”…one of my all-time favs…
With Bugs Bunny or Babs Streisand?
I’m going with the bunny!
Nope, the one with Babs and Ryan…
You know- even though I still don’t know the reference because I’ve never seen the movie, I can see it being used on Mystery Science Theater 3000. It just sounds right.
I have a channel on my Roku called “Drive-in Classics” that exclusively plays bad horror flicks. I got the channel because I wanted to snark on the movies, MST3k style.
brilliant. ^_^ I loved the show- had all the eps. Hell, I even built my own bots (not the kit versions, either)! Check out Riff-Tracks. It’s MST3K on newer movies (sans SoL and bots). Join us, won’t you? ^_^
Ooh, sounds like fun! 🙂
I love Riff Tracks!
To be fair, Heff would be pleased to know his name is synonomous with…uh…big things, too many to list.
I was thinking of it more as being synonomous with antiques.
Like vintage crisco?
Yes, but more wrinkled.
Really, really big shoulder knees?
Thanks! Now I see really big WRINKLED shoulder knees!
So get out of the senior citizens center. don’t you have Internetz at home?
*Are you wearing your Grim Reaper costume?*
Scythe and all.
:points to pictures:
Look, pot on CraigsList! Who’d have thunk it?
I’m sorry, that’s a hugh.
Dang, you’re right! Hugh woulda thunk it?
Not that one,Manda, the other one. The picture beside the chester drawers.
OOOHHHHHHHH…that one…. the potted hugh. Yes, I see that now. Still.a.hugh.

ANAGRAM FUN!
Hugh Inventory
Runny Goth Hive
Emo bees with VD?
Jellied, emo zerglings.
Giveth Unhorny (Taco gifted his thong to Gramp)
Huge Viny Thorn (Ummm, yeah)
Run Hive Thongy (Truck bees changed location)
Runty High Oven (Small second floor cooking device)
Given Horny Hut (VD from Heff)
Then Hung Ivory (Uhmm….)
Envy Night Hour (I most certainly would!)
Given Horney Hut (inherit Playboy Mansion?)
Received an amorous Jabba?
I want a Huey Louis or a Babby Huey.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Huey
And then I want a new drug….
And “I’m Blue” has been replaced with a new earworm. Thanks, Mudsy!
At least it’s got a kickass beat and you can dance to it. I’ll give it a 9 Dick!
9 Dick? Most guys have just the one… (sometimes two–the second replaces their cranium)
I love Huey Lewis! It’s a happy earworm!
Just letting you all know that I’m going to be away from the Snark-Fest for two weeks starting tomorrow.
I’ll probably check the site once or twice, but for the most part I’ll just have to catch up afterwards.
Sadness prevails!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
I will miss your massive links TM. It’ll be like The Jersey Shore without The Situation….or not…
Well, keeping the line scared off, *splode*-ing, mispeling, and discussions of lighting things on fire, interspersed with veterinary anecdotes and gamer-y references will be difficult in your absence, but if there are people who can step in, it’s this crowd.
Enjoy wherever you are, and may the snark be strong with you (and TacoMa’am and Tron).
Ditto.
Double ditto. Have fun!
I should work on the Dr. Taco book during my absence. I got stuck and was having trouble getting motivated to finish. This will give me a chance to focus on it.
Wave when you fly over us all!!! (for some reason that doesn’t some right)
Beware — if you are coming to the southern US — it’s hot man, really hot!!!!
**Slow motion running attempting to stop Taco from abandoning us for 2 weeks**
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*joins Andie* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
:deep breath:
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNO!!!
:feels light-headed and sits down:
NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
(Taco, it looks like you have fangirls :-p)
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
**hides Baritone from Andie’s pee**
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNN!!
Sorry, I got caught up in the moment.
I thought for sure you’d do a ZUUUUUUUUL! or pull out a massive link 😉
Astro, I did it with a massive link earlier, so you are forgiven. I will not urinate in your instrument. This time.
Taco, I tried to throw the Don’t Suck box in your way so you couldn’t go! Sigh. Plus you deserve it, so it’s not a total suck-up.
I seem to remember you saying that this travel was to the Research Triangle?
**prepares emergency bunker**
Oh, we’ll miss you Taco. Come when you can – er, I mean – Poke in any time – Um, try to keep your hand in……
Nuts! – this is all balled-up!
Hugh have got to be kidding me.
Yeah, Bombdude, we got tossed from the Don’t Suck box early just so maybe Taco wouldn’t leave. Shows you where we rank. But it was a pleasure sharing the box with you while it lasted. And, remember… what happened in the box STAYS in the box.
I’ll never tell…
Wait, you DID close the lid first, riiiiiight?
** sound of crickets **
Step right up, folks! Reserve your copy of the hottest, most BOMBastic adult video on the market, “Justice and the Earth Shattering Kaboom!”
Find out what happens when a lawyer and a bomb tech get trapped in a box, alone, ALL.NIGHT.LONG!!!
Advanced purchase price $10 ea. or two fer $30, No CoD, no OBO, no pants!
HUGH stole my heart away;
Hugh makes me dream all day.
Dreams I know can never come true
Seems as though I’ll ever be blue
Hugh means my happiness
Hugh would I answer yes to
HUGH!
No one, but you!
Let me call Hugh sweetheart,
I’m in love with Hugh.
And if I call Hugh sweetheart,
will you answer true?
Hugh all come in to the snark lounge, we have a pinata filled with Grampdaddy’s favorite things.
Let’s see that would be:
little black dresses
red lace
cane to shake at the kids
Lola’s flask
Taco’s massive links
the line
what else
Well, the dancing girls won’t all fit, so let’s have them jump out of the cake.
If we’re going to give him the dresses and lace, don’t forget the bike so he can pedal his *** all over town tonight.
I think a tastefully restrained party favor for everyone would be a mini* “Major Award” lamp!
*Not a hugh one.
Shoulder knees?
Haha, so I typed out this big long corey-all-over-the-place aboutshoulder knees and where the term came from, and then I realized you were suggesting them as one of Grampdaddy’s favorite things :-p Carry on…
Yeah, and then I got a mental image of a large quantity of disembodied shoulder knees falling out the bottom of a broken pinata.
The mind boggles…
It would bring the men in the lounge to the same level of distractedness that you ladies are at, what with all the Jackmen and Lauries in the Hugh bin…
*bounce bounce bounce*
:pokes mound of shoulder knees with stick:
I bet Freud would have a lot to say about this.
Depends on the kind of stick used…
Let’s see …
It’s about six inches long, an inch and a half in diameter, wrapped in leather with a bulbous tip …
It’s a perfectly normal stick.
Looks like a penis, though.
Brings to mind a completely different song… By ZZ Top..
*Dives into mound*
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Ewww…
*I (unfortunately) imagined the knees as having been cut off, and, therefore, scabby and gross.*
I bet you wanna get out of that pile o’ funbags now, Ham.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I’d prefer them not disembodied. I kinda like shoulder knees attached between the shoulders and the knees. Used to be I liked them closer to the shoulders, but at my age, more and more they are closer to the knees.
Oh, except Grampmommy – she hasn’t gotten any older and is just like she was in high school – only less inhibited. And less intimidating. And hotter….
Come on in Gramp, the water on the shoulder knees is fine!
Happy Birthday Grampdaddy!
No one has gone for the obvious?
Hugh G. Rection?
That’s a hard on to pass up.
There is one further up the page…
Happy Grampdaddy to you!
Happy Grampdaddy to you!
Happy Grampdaddy dear Birthday!
Happy Grampdaddy to you!
Or something like that.
And, for extra special geek points:
Third of Five.
I prefer Seven of Nine (yummy)
Well that figures. But I was going for the Hugh reference.
Less than three?
<3
♥ 😀 ( & hearts ; )
I prefer the Perfect Fifth in the Key of D Major.
The perfect fifth? Jim Beam Black.
Or, possibly, Johnnie Walker Blue if you’re going for domestic blends …
By the way, is it weird that I have a favorite interval/key combination?
Perfect fifth?
Depends, sometimes, it’s Gentleman Jack. Sometimes Weller Select. Can be Knob Creeks, too. Other days, its Sauza Tres Generacions.
The rest of the time it’s Lagavalin.
* yummy sounds *
Hugh made me love Hugh!
I didn’t wanna do it (no really)
I didn’t wanna do it (well, for Hugh Jackman I do)
Hugh Hefner: Do not want! Well, maybe if he was in a bag with the other three, and I could get it for a dollar (daily referencing of other posts-check). I could pass them out like party favors! I get to keep Jackman.
Excellent post.
OK Meredith – it’s a well know fact that I live in a vacuum. He’s about my age and I had to go look up “Huge Jackman”. I’d keep him too.
Um, Huge Jackman?
-nevermind
I always imagine him to be so.
Hehehehe… hehehe… *dissolves into a fit of giggles, for real*
Happy Birthday, Grampdaddy! I have some delicious chocolate chip muffins for you!
No wait, that doesn’t sound right. I have some lovely cupcakes just for you.
No, that doesn’t sound right either.
I got you some donuts? Eep, this isn’t getting any better.
Well anyway, let’s forget about the cake. I’ve got dinner for you here. But with so many YSaCers I figured we’d need two hams.
Errrrr….I’ll get you a card.
Awww, double me.
Redundant you.
I’m used to that…
Awww Hammy, you’re like Wrigley’s Spearmint gum. Double the pleasure; double the fun.
*blushes*
W ?
Doublemint gum?
Two muffins and/or two cupcakes! Can I eat both of them now, or do I have to save one for later?
It had to be Hugh
It had to be Hugh
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody Hugh
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
Or even be glad just to be sad
Thinking of Hugh
Hugh Jass.
Hugh Gorgy
Hello0000? Can anyone hear me? Feeling mighty danged unappreciated here…
Sorry, we’re all of to either one of four weddings or a funeral.
Or Liz Hurley’s wedding. BRB.
*off
Well, if they’re all out of Jackmans, Hugh’d be my next choice, Hugh.
Hi Hugh, Hi Hugh
To a working girl you go
(whistles)
He got in trouble with a Ho
He just keeps on drinking
All day long, Hi Hugh, High Ho
(more whistles)
I don’t know why I personally care, but there’s still enough girly girlness in me to hold a grudge against you for the whole “lady of the night” incident. That and playing a complete cad in Bridgette Jones. You played the part so well, I hate you! Well done!
Hugh got served!
It’s Bridget Jones.
Apparently I’m also fussy about how everyone else with my name spells it…including fictional characters.
Do Englishmen say “mighty danged”?
Not in my experience. Also trying to imagine that in his English accent.
There’s an echo in here.
It’s the acoustical effect of the snark lounge when you face due North. Something to do with sound waves and distance, or some such…
There’s an Echo in here.

.ereh ni ohce na s’erehT
Waaaahhhhhhh….uh,…ehhhh…errrr….uh I uh like your new picture, EB. I believe it was episode 6, but I could be mistaken.
Only Hugh
can make this world seem right
Only Hugh
can make the darkness bright
Only Hugh and Hugh alone
can thrill me like Hugh do
and fill my heart with love for only Hugh
Only Hugh
can make this change in me
For it’s true
Hugh are my destiny
When Hugh holds my hand, I understand
the magic that Hugh do
You’re my dream come true
my one and only Hugh, only Hugh
My fave…
Eaaaarwooooorm…..
Lots of earworms today. But even with all of them, I still have the earworm I woke up with. *shrug* Oh well.
Hugh send me
Darlin’ Hugh send me
Coming up next, another hour of Songs about Hugh, right here on WUUU.
Hugh want it,
Hugh got it!
Hugh want it,
Babby hugh got it!
Just bust a move!
Hugh. Hugh’s got what I need. But Hugh says he’s just a friend, but Hugh says he’s just a friend. O babby, HUGH! Hugh’s got what I need.
Hang down your head, dumb Hughley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, dumb Hughley
Poor boy, you’re bound to lie
He met her on Rodeo
There she took his cash
Took her in a limo
Stabbed her with his [candorman]
Hugh!
You’re my mask.
You’re my cover, my shelter.
Hugh!
You’re my mask.
Hugh’s the one who’s blamed!
(so *that’s* how it happened…)
I’m going back some day come what may to Blue BayHugh
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue BayHugh
Oh yeah, Hugh’s got that something,
I think Hugh’ll understand.
Hugh are you
Hugh-Hugh Hugh-Hugh
I really wanna know
Hugh are you
Hugh-Hugh Hugh-Hugh
Anyway hugh want it,
that’s the way hugh need it,
anyway hugh want it.
A little OT, or maybe not if you’ve followed the past several days…
A Limerickal Ballad of Candorman the Cankerous
There is such an asshat from Candor.
Boasting all of his snark is much grander.
We called out this tool.
For just being cruel.
And thereby we ‘up got his dander’
Candorman, a self-themed enchanter
Who thought he was clever at banter.
Too much insulting.
A wee bit revolting.
He’s not, but a really bad ranter.
He would make of his posts to be lewd.
Felt accomplished and coy, but he’s crude.
He got a tad gruff.
And left in a huff.
And claimed on this site, all a prude.
He returned to this place as a troll.
And brought all his humor so droll.
Puppet of sockery.
Can’t hide his mockery.
And mother bragged, ‘he’s smart as a bole.’
To candortrollz we must give some credits.
Whoops, thats after ahhh… twenty-some edits.
Bees be upon.
Deleter of pron.
Praise ammender of Trollz egotistics.
*this really should belong on yesterdays vol.
That’s one wacky rhyme you’ve got going on that last stanza.
*Applauds*
Dittos!!!!!
Absofrigginlutely well done!
s’pose I could’ve ended with:
Praise ammender of maniacal Troglits.
Alas, I’ve an actual job where work is occasionally required and can’t spend excessive time wordsmithing.
Much adoration to you, Spacebug!
Well played, sir.
*snap snap snap*
I’ve been a bit busy the last few days. What did I miss yesterday?
I could go look through the comments myself…but I don’t have time right now.
Just a few dancing grills…
The much-lamented Return of
CandymanCandorman. You didn’t miss much.Ah. Well, good thing I was busy then, or we might have had a HULK SMASH! moment.
For the most part we ignored him, after a couple of pokes with the clue by four. Windy’s “creative editing” is about a thousand times better.
I like the ignoring route but I have trouble executing it. Although I’ve gotten pretty good at just writing the comment but not actually submitting it. It gets the anger out but then no one has to
hearread it. 😉What is that metal cage-looking thing behind the vases? I think it might be A TRAP! Now we know how they went about catching all those Hughs.
II’S A PART of a fence I think.
Is it electric?
Don’t whiz on it.
Been there – done that. ‘Tis an experience to (a) remember, (b) not repeat.
***EARWORM ALERT***
If Hugh’ll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call Hugh Betty
And Betty when Hugh call me
Hugh can call me Al
Call me Al
One. Singular sensation, every little step Hugh takes
One. Thrilling combination, every move that Hugh makes
One smile and suddenly no other Hugh will do
You know you’ll never be lonely with Hugh know Hugh
*tap dances*
Love how the poncho flares out when you twirl, LRC
But that flapping tail is crazy-making.
I’m sure Taco, HamCan, and Grampdaddy (among others) appreciate some flapping tail.
I dunno, it the tail’s flapping, it’s a little too loose…
Wait, what?
“Help me find my car keys, we’ll drive out!”
Right or left hand drive?
(hums) …Just one sniff of that fog
And Hugh’s inside out,
It’s worse than that flesh-eating virus
Hugh read about.
Thank Hugh very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank Hugh very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape
Just when I needed to
Thank Hugh, thank Hugh, thank Hugh
I want to thank Hugh
Please, thank Hugh, oooooooooooohhhhhhhhh
I went to school with a boy called Hugh Inventory*.
*This may not be true.
And then: Suddenly TARDIS!
One of my coworkers showed me that yesterday (I knew they were good for SOMEthing!) and I NEED it.
I WANT THAT!
Saw an ad not Long ago, for a 1TB drive in a Tardis box.
Cannot find the link for that, now, naturally.
le Sigh.
[Groaner] Look, the transportation vehicle of Dr. Hugh! [/Groaner]

Y’know- I just now realized that the title for this article implies that Lionel Ritchie is somehow involved with the Hugh Inventory…. (All Night Long!)
Sorry… Turns out it’s Not.A.Lionel.
So one of the inventories is a cheese head?
Edit: Ah, then it would be not.a.cheesehead. Unless they were from Wisconsin.
…made of Hugh.
Have I mentioned that I’m an insomniac?
I <3 Hugh, too.
ActionBatch, if you are not familiar with the godlike power that is the AC/DC-verse, you must immediately become so. Shook Me All Night Long is one of the great songs of all time. I have spoken.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bomv-6CJSfM
well familiar indeed. born in 81 and well versed in all that is rock/metal \m/ ^_^ \m/
Ah, excellent! Carry on, then.
(Except for the fact that you were born when I was a sophomore in high school. That part kinda stings a little.)
If it makes you feel any better, Andie, I was born when you were in your third year of college :-p
Oh.My.God.

Oh Em Gee, Andie, that is one massive link! You broke the stylesheet in the comments AND in the Talk Amongst Yourselves!
I know. Sorry. I don’t know how to make pretty links BECAUSE I’M AS OLD AS THE CRYPTKEEPER.
**clears throat**
Sorry about that. And I assure that I will not allow my personal tragedy to interfere with my ability to do good snark. (If you get that reference you are likely a.) also approaching AARP status, and b.) an Ovary-American.)
that’s ok. I’m starting to move into that era when you can’t stand “today’s music.” I listen to my iPod exclusively now. dern kids today with their hula hoops and big bands and their poodle skirts and Castro….
This just in, AB: Edsel is a no go.
You have truly impressive linkage for a woman of your vintage, Andie!
Oh, and you were a freshman in high school when I was born 🙂
Oh, Sweet Clothespin Jeebus on a bike.
** shakes cane *** Will you toddlers please stop trying to make me feel better?!?!
lmao @ Andie <3
Lurk- Love the reference! <3
It’s OK, Andie, I gotcher back! I’m close to the same vintage… You string ’em up, and I’ll shoot ’em with the BB gun. That’ll keep them pesky kids off’n the grass!
I have Cuban friends … it may be a stretch to imply that all the young folk today with their Guevara shirts are also into Castro! 8)
Andie, There are a number of us who are thisclose and even exceed (Ahem) your vintage.
You are among a group of literates for whom age is but a number. (A really high number, in some cases.) I forgot to ask, red hair and/or left handed? [AC/DC corey] Got suspended for five days in my freshman year of HS for carving:
AC/DC
Smedley
into all the chairs in woodshop. $25 apiece for replacing all the seats. [/corey]
What Smedley said…*
*Only I carved AC/DC somedumbbullyjocksname not my own name.
🙂
I learned that lesson too – when vandalizing school property, use someone else’s name.
The lesson the jocks/bullies never seemed to learn was that smart geeky kids never forget and are very creative with revenge…
Right before the end of his junior year, my father’s class year was painted in mega-size numerals on the side of the school, so that class had to help clean it up (and/or possibly pay to have that done).
Class consensus was that the departing seniors did it.
I may or may not have been 420-inspired at that particular time in my life.
If you were, and have turned out to be on this site, there may yet be some hope for the potheads on my bus.
Andie, I’m catching up to you. You were only in fourth grade when I was born. But just to be a meanie butt*, you were older than EB is now when Astro was born.
*I’m only a meanie butt to people I like, I’m a raging bitchasaurus to those I don’t. 😉
Don’t feel old Andie, I graduated High school when you were a sophomore…;-)
I still feel 18, just ask PAM
I think I was EB’s age when Astro was born. :/
Jan. 3, 1995
For those who want to make sure.
My younger son was born 9-4-1995
My oldest 3-1995
Come over here, HamCan. I’ll be the judge of whether you feel 18. **pervy leer**
Whooohoo
Heir: 2-24-90
Spare: 5-29-92
Vasectomy: 7-15-92
Well, when I was born, there were but 49 stars on the US flag.
Which would also be before manned US Spaceflight, too (for those needing a loop throug wiki).
I was a JR in college (1980) when MTV premiered. And the CD came out. M*A*S*H, Hill Street Blues, and the original BSG were all still on network tv.
Now, let’s see if thia “takes”–already know it will 400 Bad Request when I press “Submit Comment” as adores give “Internal Error” when pressed.
[ot] {AAARRRRGGGAAAHHH!} Keep getting 400 Bad Request clobbers. Or the adores are broken. Or, some other symptom of intertube ickiness.
Which is highly annoying.
On both IE and FF (and I need to get some stuff done on this desktop, so I cannot retreat to the tablet, yet).
[/ot]
I had that problem too, but it seemed that after I started commenting it fixed itself. Hrm…
Taken two computers, some complex cache management, and restarting the modem & outer, twice, to get though today’s comments.
le Sigh
At least we only had only the one troll. Thunderstorming all around me is not helping stable intertube connection.
Maybe I have your adores. If I come to this site different times of day, I sometimes (but not all the time) have the +adores reset so I can add extra ones.
I don’t abuse this at all. Nope. *whistles*
DON’T PANIC! I accidentally deleted something in the Don’t Suck box, and I think Taco’s winning entry is a bit too big for the box. (resisting adding “That’s what she said”) (Do’h!) I will fix it when I get home. Sigh.
[creepy]You can send my punch to SJ or Astro. I’ll be in stalking distance very shortly.[/creepy]
If you forward it to me, don’t do it after 10:00 PM. I’ll be in bed and won’t get it.
First Band Competition tomorrow! And we will be premiering the entire show.
OOH, cool! Kick butt, Astro! And if there is video, please please please link us to it!
Do well, have fun, and remember, it is OK to toot your own horn!
Another euphemism?
Nah, Astro plays the baritone.
ROFL, WIndRose…
Lost another keyboard on that one… I am going to have to tell Fiscal that I have a really bad sinus condition that causes me to secrete diet coke from my nose… at extreme velocities…
Sounds like there’s an echo in here.
Sounds like there’s an Echo in here.
Hey, how come Hugh has a picture of me as his avatar?
You’re grayscale?
Yeah, I was born before color came out.
But – but – doesn’t your JLA space station have a colorizer? I’m sure Batman has one in his utility belt.
Yes, but it made me look like Denzel Washington…*
*Ring, ring* “Hi Al, nice to hear from you again.”
Come over to the fora and post why you think today’s ad is LATE!
Dan N Drmk are having alone shirt time together?
(I did not see a topic in the fora)
Good for them — nothing better on a Saturday morning.
Unfortunately, drmk is in Minneapolis, and I’m not. Lack of post was just a bit of dumbassery on my part. Sorry!
Hey, that’s my line, Hammy – just ask Manda!
Sounds like there’s a nymph named Echo in here.
I picked quite the musical day to go out on it seems.
Thanks for singing me off, people. See you all in a bit over two weeks!

– Hugh World! Can I take your order?
Yeah, hi. Can I get a #1, medium with a Hugh Laurie?
– Anything else?
::thinks:: Um, yeah. You know – why don’t you throw in one of those Grant Pies? I hear they are pretty good.
– Ma’am, they are our most popular dessert. We sell a lot of *those* to the girls on the corner. Total is $5.21. Please pull around to window 1.
Ahhh…um. I’m just going to take this bag of Hughs…and maybe go into the corner…

“Welcome to Hugh World. May I take your order?”
“Yeah, uh… are the Jackmen fresh today?”
No, they were rubbed into the shirt well over a year ago.
Hey, I think I can see the line way over there committing seppuku!
Janett! Hugh dropped the “usually lurking” from your name. Does this mean we will be seeing more of hugh?
Mmmm no. Just means I am using a new computer and had to *think* about my name…it didn’t appear automagically like usual. I’m on the snark-saving program where I save each one up until I have enough snarks to get a really big one.
On that note, can anyone tell me why my chocolate frosty kinda takes like bacon? I didn’t order bacon. Hmph.
I did it!
Yay!
With Hugh?
Or would that be Hughme?
With or without Hugh? I can’t live with or without Hugh.
You da best man! You deed it!
It is currently 8:00 pm, EDT, and I have laughed until I’ve cried. I have just completed going through the comments for the second time, from start to finish, and I feel very special (Cue “West Side Story” – no, not “Maria”, Bianchi).
Thank you all for celebrating my 60th with me – I can’t think of any other group I would want to party with right now. I’ll be back later for a final wrap-up…
Peace and joy!
Sister Margaret Michael Grampdaddy
I KNEW IT!
You da man, Grampdaddy! Hope it was awesome. I also hope you like this Snuggie I knitted for you. Sorry it’s a little itchy, I had to go over to LRC’s house to get some help with the stitches and, you know, the poncho…
Yay! It is just what I wanted – a Snuggie-Poncho-Louse-House. (Taco, I think you can use that for the Dr. Seuss book).
Hugh made me love you,
I think YSaC can do it, think YSaC can do it!
Would you like it in a house?
Would you like it with a louse?
Would you like it in a Snuggie?
Mind if it’s a wee bit buggy?
WooHoo, Young Frankenstein is on–for GrampDaddy’s Birthday, obviously.
It is now 11:00 pm. Grampdaddy must end his day of celebration before he does a faceplant on the keyboard (was gonna say laptop, but figured faceplant and lap would lead to too many comments).
Happy dreams all, and safe trip Taco.
(subsequent edit) Don’t know why this is here, should be after the Hammy monochrome comments – oh well!
Night-night, Grampdaddy! I wish I could tuck you in tonight. Sweet dreams.
Umm – now I may just go camping.
Alright, time to wrap up the over 500 comments and call it a Hugh!
TacoMagic via sarajean! Punchity Punch Punch!
G’Night, Hughville!
Egads. Finally Saturday here in CDT.
Taken seven tries since 2130 to get through the last 75 comments (and was only 30-40 when I started). Tough sledding when a the 5th or 6th adore, or any Reply made gets you kicked out.
To come back and have no place makers at all. Could not find the adores I had made before on any occasion.
Vexing.
Ok, that should be the last comment, but it leapt up in the stack.
WR’s closing comment is also out of order, it is now above the “is there an echo in here” comments.
Is it because the squirrel suit is empty?
If there are trolls to blame, and I find them out, they will be very very unhappy creatures, as I will send The Very UnNice, Not At All Froopy Dudes right to their door.
I thought we weren’t supposed to feed the trolls?
Looks who’s talking, you’re the one who gave it a big Mac!
Is it pathetic that I’m sitting here, at the computer, in my jammies trying to patiently wait for 9 AM EST (8 CST) instead of just getting dressed and going to work for a couple hours?
I got it bad.
Hey …Van Halen… get out of my head!
*musta been some spammer deletes, cause this comment jumped up, instead of down. :)*
Yeah, my closing comments last night jumped up. Very very weird.
I think Al Sharpton startled them…
So now I’m at work… filing. And all I can think of is.. I need Lola and YSaC!
How am I supposed to file this mess so that others can find it? There is so much that cross-references other information… I need an Information Specialist…STAT!
Grr…I’m done venting.. back to the grindstone. Work is getting one more hour, then I’m done.
*click*
Sigh.
*click*
Sigh.
ETC
Mornin’ YSacville!! It’s raining here in Big D – the soft, I-wanna-stay-in-bed-all-day, kinda rain. Have a great weekend, y’all and Taco…sigh…we’ll miss you! Grampdaddy, take the rest of the weekend off and celebrate!
Astro, per your comment from yesterday, keep an open mind about the people you sneer at now. Some of my best and brightest friends were 420ed out in HS, and are WAY more successful today than pretty much all of the squares that were making fun of us then. Also make sure that no young lady escapes your kind attention. Fat girls get thin, Skinny girls fill out, and if you play your cards right, at your 20 yr reunion, there will be a line of ladies waiting to re-make your acquaintance. Having abs and looking good in your crackerjacks helps immensely too. Food for thought.
This is supposed to be at the very end. Hmm…
I was actually going to say something to Astro alone these lines too, but I can remember being his age and having very strong opinions about various things that I now have the opposite opinion about so I let it go.
Personally I think they should legalize all drugs and tax them, there’s no way of ever stopping people from getting/using drugs so we may as well get something out of them instead of wasting money trying to fight an impossible war.*
*No, I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs, in my youth now that was another story 😉
I commented in “idle chit chat”. I had to switch to the mobile version of this site just to post this comment as well. *sigh*
I guess I have to go be productive now 🙁
Posted this on FB – but posting it here for those of you who don’t also lurk there. Which is insanity. Why would you NOT have a facebook. I mean seriously. Loser.
::Ehem::
Ok so here it is…
So last night, I was having this dream. In the dream I was looking at this paperback book from an author I like (no, not Stephenie Meyer). I was like “wow, that guy on the cover looks like…” and everyone was like “OMG yes he does!” So I o…pened the front jacket to see if it listed his name. I kid you not…it said “Model on front cover: Hugh.” I thought to myself, “OMG, so THAT is what they meant by the ‘Hugh, Hugh, Hugh’ ad! That they were selling this book and it has this cute guy on the front.” The cute guy was Rob Pattinson (aka: Hugh). So hilarious I had to get up and tell everyone before I did anything else this morning. Except pee and brush my teeth 🙂 I’m not kidding…
