AIDEN AUCTION WINNING OFF TOPIC THREAD: like Seinfeld, it's an OT topic about NOTHING meets Question for Merry

[Merry]

Sorry sarapony, but I’m on a trip down memory lane:

When we were at Carlsbad Caverns (I have this thing about caves; maybe it’s a Freudian thing) Mr. Merry and I came upon this one limestone formation called The Mammary… or something like that. I’m NOT KIDDING. It was shaped like a giant breast! Anyhoo, I told him, “Hey, take some photos!” So I pulled off my top and he took these great color photos with the flash of me posing amongst the limestone creations.

About a yard later we come upon these little signs that say, “Warning: To prevent theft, defacement and vandalism… yadda yadda yadda… hidden camera surveillance by the rangers…”

Yes, I began to notice all these little red dots of light where video cameras were hidden alongside the dark trail. Yet I still held my head proudly when I got back to the ranger’s Visitor’s Center.

From the hazy crazy days of my youth: chunks of crystal off a chandalier from a cheapo hotel in Italy. It wasn’t a nice chandalier, so I don’t feel too guilty.

Reliving my youth a couple of years ago: A strand of crappy crystal from a chandalier in a hotel here in the U.S. I was traveling on business, and it just seemed like the right thing to do.

From my youth: One of those cute mini teaspoons they serve with tea in Europe, lifted from the Dorchester Hotel in London.

I was flying on Quantas to Australia a couple years ago, and they had those little spoons with the airline meal. So I took a couple of them. I was going to mail one to my partner-in-crime in the London heist.

And on the caught-by-cops thing, am I the only person whose father was helping the police find his wayward daughter? Fortunately, Dad wasn’t involved in the othernekkid cop encounters.

I have not danced on a bar. But I have impersonated Cornholio (from Beavis and Butthead) while sitting with drunken barn friends on a trampoline. This was after much consumption of peach schnapps mixed with champagne.

Silly Mommy, I am now totally in awe. Tone Loc, how coooooooooool!!!

We are all SUCH bad girls.

Let’s all get maudlin and make ponygrl totally puke

Despite my raunchy acts, must say, that it is a blessing (not just for me, but for mankind) that I had children - they are the only ones who’ve ever made me feel that my love was enough.

My 12 year old daughter is such a kick-ash kid - writes achyingly beautiful stories, straight A student, rides magnificently, has an independent mind;

My darling 10 year old son has such a beautiful heart; but being a boy, his acts of random kindness tend to the rather ornery - i.e. Sumo was sick recently and as an act of condolence, he marched to his room, unplugged his piggy and gave his brother a buck ;

Sumo keeps tabs on the number of kisses and cuddles he gets in a day. Our ritual the last few days has been for my baby-man to climb onto my lap, latch onto my neck, the two of us rocking to Ben Harper’s “Beloved One”. This is what I hope RolexH is soon to be able to enjoy with her Aiden.

Okay, back to our regularly scheduled programming…

The piccies don’t have to be of single men, just pretty ones. And beauty may always, of course, be in the eye of the beholder. After all, I send Portia a piccie of a friend who I think is to die for and she politely did not agree.

OMG and who saw Cary Grant with Grace Kelly on the teevee yesterday? He is just SUCH the matinee idol.

OMG I was in LOVE with Shaun Cassidy when I was a kid, I had his posters everywhere.

First concert: Prince, Purple Rain, in Minneapolis.

My rottie (who lives with my ex) used to fart, and whenever she would fart, she would turn around and look at her butt like “what was THAT?” it was hilarious!

Oh no! Rotties are hilarious! My rottie would move away, too.
She also hid in the bathtub any time I made something in the oven. She wouldn’t go outside if she could smell anyone barbecuing anything, and the smell of fireworks sent her to hide in the bathtub, again. She also went crazy and ran circles around the living room chair like a nut if she heard any sort of beep, cards shuffling, or high pitched squeak. She is a weird dog!

cards shuffling? How bizzarre, my rotty hated that to…If I clicked a pen, she would go nuts, or if I shuffled a deck of cards, LOOK OUT! what else…

if I pretended like I was going to shoot a rubber band at her, she would attack it before I could…

if I flipped the pages of a book really fast, like “ziiiiiip!” she would go nuts too. She hated bugs…

if I showed her a fly or spider or anything she would get all sad and hide in a corner.

she understood almost every word I said, she would pick out the “action” words and react…so cute! she slept on my bed every night and stole my pillows…she would have dreams almost every night and would wake my up kicking me and growling/whining…lol

you couldnt run from her, or she would chase you and bump into you. she never bit or scratched, but if you climbed anything, like monkey bars at a park, that was not a good idea…she would chase you, climb as high as she could, and pull you down, growling.

we have a pool in the back yard, she used to go for swims whenever she felt like it, just sit there on the submerged bench for hours…lol

if we teasd her by getting on the diving board, she would run after us and bark, all worried…

ah man do i miss that dog…

A friend of mine rode his bike home from a friend’s house…he only had to go 3 or 4 blocks. He was staggering drunk and it was in the middle of the night. The next morning, he woke up with a dislocated shoulder, road burn in several places, and a nice assortment of cuts and bruises all over his body (including his face). He went outside and saw his bike in a mangled heap. To this day, he has no idea what happened.

[Coreene]

It is a friend of mine who is just such a hottie.

SO, Kinsella, meanwhile … where are y’all staying?

[Coreene]

Next thing Merry is gonna tell us is that hers are sans odor.

[Silly_Mommy]

WOW! I’ve missed out on so much fun! Lessee…

Runner up in a wet Tshirt contest in Ft. Lauderdale (the winner was a ringer). At one time in my life I did have boobs.

Numping in my pickup truck, on a hill, emergency brake decides to go…

Went sleepwalking nekkid while camping in the middle of the Adirondacks.

Have danced just about everywhere.

Inhaled once .

Did the premarital fart.

Well why didn’t you just TELL me it was Chapped Hoochie?

[Kinsella]

OK, apologies to your friend… I was not sure, just that’s who he reminded me of (sorry again!!) and I was going to say he has SUCH a fake looking chest (Steve Perry that is )

As for where we are staying, I have no idea… Poncho’s Mom won’t be in CA until Wednesday… I am coming out to visit my friends out there and [edited so I don’t get in trouble!!] hang out somewhere warm - yeah, that’s it!!!

What are Willem’s new year’s resolutions?

Okay…here’s something about me. I am pretty quiet and reserved. And physically small. Most people think I am on the conservative side, so they are suprised to find out that I have a permit to carry a concealed weapon (I have yet to carry one) and I am a dead-eye with my .38 revolver. Oh, and I also love South Park! Terrance and Phillip are the best!!!

The stable where I learned to ride got torn down and is now a retirement home and assisted-living facility.

“The Cars” were a pretty cool rock band.

I have a bit of an obsession with Audrey Hepburn and Bette Davis and Jimmy Stewart and James Dean.
