Shall we all go down to the Shispering Pines and stalk eggnog & fired twinkies together?
We could visit with Carl for a while and Binger can binge on whatever coffee blend he's experimenting with now.
 
Hey!!! You just reminded me...On the radio show that I did I play a song called "Home By Another Way" by James Taylor. In the song they mention the camels that the three Wise Men rode...I mentioned Carl, and that he claimed to be a relative of those fine camels from two-thousand years ago...

Let's for for the twinkies...I've been back on my diet this week and I'm ready to tear into some of the healthy snacks that we Americans call Twinkies!!!

"Good thing they don't stalk it all year"

:hello: Just one more item for Binger to apply to his next Opera at the Shispering Pines Opera House

... suddenly Auntie Mistletoe enters chasing eggnog containers all over the stage interrupting JayIsh's Paux De Lux-soap, etc.

The rain let up, but the digital cable is out. They're diligently working on it so we're told via technical help line. We're not the only ones without it, seems to be south of here and a bit north, west and east too.

cheesy Found my father a great looking Mike Weir golf shirt. Funny thing is I ran into him at the mall. I said, "uh oh, don't look!" We talked a bit made plans for Sunday and one of my brother's is coming up too because he's in a celebrity golf tournament to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society.
 
Hope I do this right after reading everyones posts. Sunny here, hot & humid. Occasional off & on showers, highs in the 80's.
Happy Friday the 13th everyone.

"My name is Jay and I'm an egg-nog stalker too..." I have spent the last years as a serious stalker of the Nog...I can't stop...I buy it for the guests and say no if they ask if I have any...Please help me...I've been waiting patiently for Oprah or Dr. Phil to offer some kind of show regarding this problem but so far nothing...

"My Name is Jay.. and I am an addict..."

( voice over to Pacabel's canon..)

"We here at the shispeing pines addict center are ready to help you emerge from the destructive path that you have chosen.. you too can break the chain of addiction with our newest techniques, which involves getting you addicted to other healthy choices.. like coffee, sleep, Dusty Springfield, Plaid, and Candian Mounties..... call the Shispering Pines intake now.... it's time to really really start living... or for God's sake, go back to sleep...."
( music fade up... )

end...

YABBA!

My quote: "We could visit with Carl for a while and Binger can binge on whatever coffee blend he's experimenting with now."
Easy now, my gender-neutral, coffee-soaked pal.
I would not make a mistake like that.
The "he" refers to Carl, who is not only not gender-neutral, he's not neutral about anything!

Days to the Season: 152
Days to Christmas Day: 194
On we move toward the 1/2 Christmas Day marker, just 10 days from tomorrow!

A pleasant 77 outside here in Raleigh at this hour.
Dry today but rain is possible tomorrow.

Have a Stupendous Saturday, everyone!
 
Happy Countdown, everyone.

Dom - the nationwide reaction to Tim Russert's death is huge! There are wonderful tributes to him today on MSNBC and CNN and the major networks. Everyone seems to have appreciated his hard work, dedication to truth, and warm and pleasant manner. I big loss for our country.
 
Good day all...Lovely Saturday here. Temps. in the 70's with a slight breeze. Got my yard all mowed and now doing a little watering. Hope everyone is having a great day. I plan to BBQ some chicken on the grill a little later.
 
Dom said:
Good morning.
Enjoy Sat as we head towards the 1/2 Christmas marker...sad news about the heart attack of Tim Russert...I guess "you never know" he was working one min and the next he had died of a heart attack. Enjoy each day of your life as much as you can be happy...

My husband was quite shocked by that news.

Danny Davis died and no one's noticed.

You mean the guy who introduced the sound of horns to country music?


Someone else passed away today. The world didn't know her, but those who knew her (and those who knew her very well - she was a private person) will miss her greatly. My friend, Pat lost her battle with cancer this morning.

Jack Lemmon once remarked, "Death ends a life, but it doesn't end the relationship." I tend to agree.
 
Hey, what gives? :tree: I went to the Shispering Pines and you have to pass the Christmas tongue twister test before you can gain entry.


Try these ten times really fast ...

Seven Santas sang silly songs.

Chilly chipper children cheerfully chant.

Santa's sleigh slides on slick snow.

Tiny Timmy trims the tall tree with tinsel.

Bobby rings bright bells.


I tell ya, I struggled over a few of those, but eventually, I got in.
 
cheesy Good Morning Festive Forum Chums - eggnog stalkers, coffee-addicts, tea-drinkers, and father's!

Happy Father's Day.

If you have the time between posting and being pampered and have the opportunity, grab a good Father's Day flick and settle in for some viewing.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a good father and dad movie. Really.
Star Wars, when your father turns out to be Darth Vader - well...
East of Eden There's a classic. Two brothers fighting over their fathers love.
Ted Danson and Jack Lemmon and young Ethan Hawke deliver a touching performance in DAD.

And while you're at it, you could always toss in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation or It's A Wonderful Life - George Bailey was a father so it counts as a Father's Day film not just a Christmas one.

Or if you have the collection you can relax to Father Knows Best or My Three Son's, etc.

Looking for something to do with your dad today or to involve your children in something for their father ...
How about playing a game of Mini-Putt or carrying dad’s golf bag around the 18 holes.
Take the opportunity to enjoy flying kites or playing a game of catch.
Dig out that old monopoly, clue, battleship or trivial pursuit game and have a family games night for old time sake.
Maybe you can just give up the TV remote for the day without batting an eyelash.

And if there are many miles between you, a phone call is always a nice touch.
