son of the isolated blurts thread!

[Saucyminx]

Ah, so that's what that thing is for. Got it.

Is it's name Rick?

 

[midwestyankee]

Is it's name Rick?

How would I know?

 

[Saucyminx]

How would I know?

Um, magic 8 ball?

 

[midwestyankee]

Um, magic 8 ball?

Too new. We only had magic 4 balls when I was young.

 

[Saucyminx]

But did you have 2 of them?

 

[midwestyankee]

I believe I've always had two, in fact. Odd question (well, it's about an even number, but yet so odd...odd).

My dear man, I know I am totally outmatched at the moment, but I'll getcha tomorrow, oh yes. . .

And I asked if the goat was named Rick because of the Geico commercial--which makes me laugh hysterically every time the goat screams.

I like the Pinocchio as motivational speaker one myself.

That one is good, but the Kayak commercial with the guy's fingers flying off is probably my favorite.

 

[Miles Long]

Train delays are the worst.

 

[bailadora]

Since we're talking about mixing things up with banjos: Dueling Bagpipes.

I've never heard this before! Sweet!

Heads up, do NOT ask GBers to do this, including Miles or Pmann. It leads to bad things...

Thanks for the warning, J. Yeah, I can just imagine.

i vote we start with you, then minxy: ladies first, after all. :>

keep your fingers crossed for me, those so inclined!

If ya'll don't mind eating simply, red beans and rice is what's on the menu this evening. Wait. No beans for MWY. Damnit! And you'd best believe I'm sending all the good wishes I can muster.

My husband cracks up every single time.

 

[Saucyminx]

The minute he says 'dang' I lose it.

I like it! Progressive dinners at the HT houses. And y'all are always welcome to come let me feed you. That's my favorite past time.

I just had, probably, the most mean-spirited text conversation of my entire life. I do not feel bad about it now, but I know later, I will, because try as I might, I'm just not mean.

It involved the friend of a friend, and a boxed cake mix.

I can only be pushed so far apparently. . .

So...you're telling us that you will disown someone because they use boxed cake mix? Man, that's harsh.

Now Yank, I would never scorn someone for the boxed cake mixes. It was her texting to ask why her cakes were falling in the middle or lopsided. I asked a few questions and then told her what I thought. She proceeded to tell me why that couldn't possibly be the reason. It was totally the reason, combined with her checking on them about every 5 min while they were in the oven. She kept arguing with me. So I asked what she thought the problem was, since it couldn't be what I was telling her and she said, "I don't know why that's why I'm asking you." Then this happened:

After about 15 more min of stupidity, I finally said, "The next time I see you post one of your cakes on facebook, I will point the finger of scorn, comment on how fallen it looks in the middle, and assure everyone that you are clearly too stupid to make a box cake." Oddly, she hasn't responded since.

I'm going to kick the friend who gave her my digits, in the shin, repeatedly. I might heap scorn on her as well.

I see. Remind me to never again post a picture of one of my baking masterpieces on the book of faces, for it will only gain me shame and calumny.

No, no, usually I am sweet as pie, make judicious use of the like button if I have nothing nice I can say, and choose such opportunities to build people up, and encourage them. I'm sure I would positively fawn all over your baking skills.

This chick is a twit. An argumentative, mentally defective twit who can't bake so my heaping of scorn wouldn't be calumny, just the honest truth.

 

[bailadora]

Why ask an expert if you're not going to listen to what they have to say? SMDH. I'm sorry, Minxy!

Random self-promotional blurb: I was once a guest on a television show entitled "Ask an Expert." It was not an unmitigated success.

Concerning Rack Master experiences?

I would not allow this person to get under my fondant.

I would graciously bow out of the discussion, saying that it sounds like they have covered it all, and that I can not think of anything else I could usefully contribute.

Wrapping up, I would agree that it is quite the conundrum, but one I rarely, if ever, run into. I would then enclose a photo of my latest lip-smacking confection, pointing out how the center has not fallen in. Not fallen at all.



Fair weather crowd warning : *CLICK PIC AT OWN RISK!!!*

 

[bailadora]

Sweet baby jane! Why, oh why, did I click the link? My eyes, my eyes! Damnit, Em! :caning:

 

[Emerson40]

Sweet baby jane! Why, oh why, did I click the link? My eyes, my eyes! Damnit, Em! :caning:

Now, now, save your caning for the Pillow Fight (YES, yes please!). Fair warning was provided.

I have listened to the people, and heard their concerns about not seeing the warnings provided in the past. Fire_Breeze even resorted to writing a "Dear X" to herself, about clicking on my links. I hear she has only recently stopped wearing strong sunglasses, for sensitivities and temporary photophobia, brought on after heavy doses of self-administered eye-bleach, due to some innocuous click-through of mine that she had not readied herself for.

A fella can't win for trying it seems.

It also proves what I long suspected, and many have agreed with. Y'all will click IT, warning or no warning.

With the warning clearly posted though, at least you can steal a wee peek through the fingers covering your eyes, yes?

It just goes to show you how much attention I pay to signatures, doesn't it? I honestly, truly, missed that warning.

Eh, no. I don't think I'll be clicking anything else unless you expressly tell me I won't be needing eye bleach afterwards.

ETA: Wait a cotton picking minute here! You put that warning after the link. Not before. Um yeah. Might want to relocate that little gem next time!
