well...since you asked, Eala... i am a brownie leader and i had been moaning about needing to holepunch through 2 layers of felt for a project we are doing.

Ah. This explains much!

[E Rocc]

Hail to the valiant heroes
They're just a bunch of zeros
Hail! Hail! To Michigan, you will lose today
Ann Arbor is a downer
We're glad we're out of towners
Hail! Hail! To Michigan, the cesspool of the West

Kill all those m---f----
Smack down those damn c---s-------
To Hell with Michigan
Those scumbags from "Up North".

Thank you! I still have his books Wry Martinis and Thank You for Smoking in my enormous pile of unread books. I guess I'll get around to them one of these days.

[xsmommy]

have fun! I told xshub this AM that i saw a few leaves with his name on them in the back yard. quite a few ; )

[xsmommy]

xshub said wry martinis was not as good, because it is not as true to life as the others. i read the first few pages of the new one and it is the same sort of sophomoric humor that one finds in this THREAD! in fact, i am convinced that christopher buckley would fit right in as one of the boys in this class! i was laughing, on page one.

[xsmommy]

grimmy, i can't believe i forgot to ping you! i was at the gym this AM and i thought, OH NO, i didn't ping grimmy and his nose will be out of joint!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Hummmmnph!

"I" thought my explantion was purfectly accurate.

Concise.

And more to the point(s).

---...---...---...

Tell xshub that he can rake leaves in my yard if he wants. (Would it help if I said "Free beer"!)

(We've only got 32 hardwoods out front, and its rained every weekend since Oct 1, but some of the ten billion leaves have blown across the street and he wouldn't have to do those.)

[xsmommy]

no raking, he is mulching them with the do-hickey. i don't think free beer is going to cut it....

[VRWCmember]

i did the hole-punching brownie project today, not that any of you cared enough to ask... sniff....

I still think it would have worked better if you had taken my advice and procured this tool:

[Robert A Cook PE]

Oh!

We've got a Sears leaf mulcher all gasses up and ready to go.

Certainly. No raking would be required.

Nope.

None at all.

Just ten billion wet leaves.

[E Rocc]

What's blue and yellow and lost? >:)

[Dan from Michigan]

LOL. I shouldn't laught, since Penn State is kicking our ass right now.

Basketball season has started. Good.

[Argh]

Thank you! And thanks to xshub!

[RikaStrom]

ROFLOL

Let me guess, it's football today!

[Dan from Michigan]

Let me guess, it's football today!

Not for Michigan State fans :(
At least we should have a coach next year.

(We've only got 32 hardwoods out front, and its rained every weekend since Oct 1, but some of the ten billion leaves have blown across the street and he wouldn't have to do those.)

Count your blessings. We are surrounded by (very tall) cedars. The fronds they shed don't rake up very easily; they just break up into smaller pieces.

[xsmommy]

i know how much you guys love a catfight. This one looks like a good one!

[Slip18]

Phssssst. Meowwwww!

Missed everyone last week! However, I have two turkeys finished. Everything is made for Thanksgiving except for the last minute stuff. Life is good!

How's the hole punching going?

[xsmommy]

missed you too, slippy. Got the holes punched in half of the designs and the brownies did their project, we will complete it at the next meeting. Good for you on all the Tgiving progress! as we are going to xsbro's in OH for Tgiving, i don't have much to do. i am in charge of dessert. that is my fave thing to make anyway.

i had been moaning about needing to holepunch through 2 layers of felt

I am sorry, I have not had my coffee yet, did you say something about moaning while needing your felt hole punched?
