raffish \RAF-ish\, adjective:

1. Characterized by or suggestive of flashy vulgarity, crudeness, or rowdiness; tawdry.
2. Marked by a carefree unconventionality or disreputableness; rakish.

Etymology: Raffish derives from the noun raff (chiefly used in the compound or duplicate, riffraff), meaning "people of a low reputation."

Good Morning, riffraff!

[Argh]

i am choking on that

Stop, you're killing me.

[Slip18]

I think Miss Bellarisima partied a little too much for her 29th, and she might still be feeling the effects. LOL!

[Slip18]

You're bathing again, Arghie? Got company tonight?

[Argh]

I'm afraid I have to leave you too, to get some work done.

P.S. I'm a big fan of the Vice-President's too.

[xsmommy]

wish you could be here to see him, arghy!

[Slip18]

I figured out why the 'puter was so slow this morning. I must have had twenty windows open. I just shut her down and brought her back up again.

[Argh]

Har de har har! No, I was making a lame joke. I never have any company thank goodness. And my annual bath isn't due until July or August. See you later!

[Argh]

Me too! Bye.

[Slip18]

Well, gas, every other week we don't know what time the doors are going to open. It could be 12:10 a.m. or 12:10 p.m. It just depends on when Bella can get to it.

She does have lovely words, though, doesn't she?

[DainBramage]

Be careful around ralph, he might raffish you.

[VRWCmember]

i will need to be restrained from DICK!

I heard that it was not possible to restrain you from Dick.

[Slip18]

I was on a cruise where almost everyone became ill. The ship personnel said it was because of rough seas. I didn't get sick, but there was puke everywhere. I swore I would never cruise again. I just hung out in one of the bars. LOL!

[Slip18]

I'm here, xs.

[xsmommy]

sure wish you could help with the punching, slippy. my hands are getting sore and i have only done 4 christmas trees and one star. i need to hire some illegal aliens to help me with the hole punching!

[Slip18]

"Be careful around ralph, he might raffish you."

You were both riffraffish!

[Slip18]

My hands are dead from sandblasting walls.

I've taken a break from it all for the last two days. Just doing the regular stuff, cooking and cleaning.

Is each design different? Can't you put four layers together and then punch the holes?

[xsmommy]

i can barely get thru the 2 layers, which are the front and back of the design. i have to do them together because the holes have to match up for sewing later.

[Slip18]

Oh, that would be right. They have to match up.

Those holers can get to you after a while. I've used them. Trying to figure out how you could jury-rig it up to make it go faster.

Maybe you do need a couple of illegal aliens. . .

[Bella_Bru]

I'm here, I just have to make like I am working. :-)

[Bella_Bru]

Well, I usually cannot set this up til 7:30am PST, at the earliest, unless I launch it at midnight. Sorry! :-(
