I'm just really glad my parents didn't name me after a snack cracker. (Student first name, any guesses?)

And I really want to see the video of space kid, monster. I bet it is hilarious! No worries about it being shaky. :)

Funny kid.

Not Triscuit. Is it Ritz?

Nope. :)

It may not be a well known cracker. It's not a famous cracker like, say...Huey Long. :lol:

Chicken in a bisket? :D

Hahahhahaaaa! Nope.

Well over here we have Jacobs Crackers.
But that is far too normal.

Animal?

Nope nope. :)

Cheez-it.

I'll work on the vid as soon as I'm done with my paperwork. Yup procrastinated until the last minute again. Back to earth in about an hour, i reckon

Not cheez-it (though I was so hoping someone would guess that!)

I'll look forward to the video.

Saltine? Uneeda Biscuit? Wheat Thin? Stoned Wheat? Cracked Pepper? Table Water? Town House? Club?

Eucharist?

Graham?

salteen

Federline?

Oh, that's a good one. It's a real name too. I know two of them.

You guys are good! But no cigar.

I don't know if anyone wants to keep guessing. I'll hide the answer below:

Waverly

It's actually kind of a cool name, but all I could think of was the cracker.

A lover's quarrel. Hahahahahahaaaaaa!

Funny to watch from afar.

I have no interest in their make-up sex, though.

:corn:

I got chewed out this moring for forwarding my email to my boss last week.

He he he... <snicker> Fuck it.

I off work today with a cold. Meh. I was sitting at my desk, glanced out the window. There is an oval/sports field across the road. The sprinklers were on - in winter, huh? Then I saw two guys in hi-vis work jackets wandering about, obviously checking the sprinkler functions. I was watching at just the right moment to see another sprinkler power up and squirt a jet of water right into the head of one of the workmen. :lol: I shouldn't laugh at others' misfortunes, but c'mon, conscience, that was funny.

And there you have a moment of zen. :)

PDX Local TV News says there's a pregnant woman already in labor stuck inside an elevator...with her claustrophobic husband !

Watching my youngest child struggle with the frustration of organization that my wife has done for her for the last 18 years. Pretty amusing.

Overheard:

"I've got the mother of all back-ups ready!"

12yo daughter RFN.

:lol:

Shitty people who constantly complain about other while doing exactly that which they are complaining about.

You should find ways to love yourself anyway. :comfort:

ew, I didn't need that image......

That made me laugh.

Friend of a friend story: :blush: Today in the staff room, someone (not naming any names) burnt their toast. The smoke alarm didn't go off audibly in the actual room, but large numbers of people suddenly seemed to be exiting the building. When the culprit tried to inform people that really there was no need as it was only burnt toast, the person in question discovered that it was too late-once the alarm has gone off, a train of events is set in motion that involves evacuation and the fire station personnel coming to check that everything really is ok. Very, very embarrassing, but sort of funny at the same time. One of the bigwigs in the building, completely of his own volition, sent out an email to all staff saying how well the fire drill had gone.

I woke up this morning and the dog was sleeping under my pillow. Only her head was sticking out.

She will burrow under covers whenever she can, but under the pillow is a new one.

She's 13 pounds, so she fits nicely, and my pillow is too thin anyway.

Pico likes to burrow too. I dont know how many times he was almost squashed when my husband would get into bed. I guess it boils down the the fact that those little dogs just dont have enough heat generating meat on their bones.

Yeah yeah. Pearl has an old ripped sleeping bag in my office, where she sleeps while I'm working/cellaring/etc. As part of her morning routine, she waits for me to lift it up to create a cave that she can get into. After two hours in this -0°F rated bag, it's boiling under there, and she loves it.

Very cute, but we would've like the story better with a picture. :D

Pics or it didn't happen.

My prescription insurance company is so on top of things, they can send me a letter of explanation as to why they can't reimburse my claim inside the very same envelope as the reimbursement for that claim.

Ohhh Clod - I so feel your pain.

Yeah, but I did get the check after all, so it's in the amusing thread and not the irritating thread. :)

Obviously their new envelope sharing program has created the savings necessary so they can pay additional claims. It probably took a program director and 6 program managers to get that change in place.

Today I learned that Insurance companies who make payments in September may retract them in July, yes almost a year later. For what is apparently no reason. Isn't that special.

Pissed off people pissing on each other as they post about their angst on Craigs list. funny as hell.

OH I forgot to add that they then send ME the bill telling me its now my responsibility... Uh? No. Fill out your paperwork properly and there wouldn't have been an issue in the first place.

One of my relatives has a cat that they got from the people who run the dump-apparently she was poisoned earlier in her life which accounts for her odd behaviour. She's a cantankerous thing, hates being picked up and protests very loudly whenever someone tries to do this, but she loves being under the covers and quite often you'll find her in the bed where she stays all night and is even magnanimous enough to purr. Once morning arrives though, she's off and doesn't want to know you.

Well, do you hang around with your hot water bottle during the day? :lol:

I knew a girl once....

On target as always, Bruce.

Wait for it.... Wait for it....

(probably unlikely to be NSFW but contains poultry double entendre)

I just watched Max (18 months old) pull the puppy (4 months) out of the doghouse by the ears then poke her in the direction he wanted her to go. She didn't complain, but just had a look of resignation on her face. Poor dog. lol

Pics of puppy so we can imagine it.

This was her the day we got her. I've got more on the camera, so I could post them some time after I download them. She's a lot bigger now. She was six weeks old in this pic.

teh cute!

Soooooooooooooooo cute. What is she? Do her and Max get along well generally?

Here's a couple of Max and the dogs in the front yard.

The puppy (Cleo) is about 3 1/2 months old now, so she's learning a few things. She's never snapped once at anyone including Max, so we're pleased that she has a good nature. She's a bit of a mongrel dog. She's got great dane, bull mastiff, ridgeback and some bull arab in the mix, so she's going to be a big dog, but that's what we wanted anyway.

As you can see, there's no way Max could have pulled her out of the house unless she decided to move herself. I was just impressed that she put up with it. It must have hurt.

gotta ask about those culverts. Is that a common Aussie thing or is it something to do with your husband's work? Looks like swiss chard in one of them, squash in the other.

Do you always leave your Sybian out where the neighbors can see ?:eek:

They're not to do with Dazza's work. In fact, he hates gardening believe it or not. He's more interested in killing fish for relaxation.

We've got a range of things including what we call rainbow chard or silverbeet, squash, zucchini, eggplant, strawberries, beetroot, and the one at the far end where Max is standing is mostly lettuce and cabbage. There are also tomato seedlings in all three at the back.

We planted them out about 6 weeks ago and are just about to start harvesting zucchini and squash, and we've already had strawberries, chard and salad greens.

About the commonality of them, not too many people have them, but they're becoming more popular because for one thing, you don't have to bend over so far for the weeding. Another for me is that it keeps the dogs off the beds (somewhat). Also, we have very sandy soil, so I needed to put a fair bit of mulch and stuff in to keep the beds damp enough and be a bit more water efficient.

Oh yes. Sometimes I even sit on it when they're in their yards. They always think it's funny. :) It used to have two prongs, but one of them got broken during some rough play one day.

:eek:;):eyebrow::)

Hopefully, you were able to find it.:eek:

Does Cleo snuffle? I love dogs that snuffle(-actually I love most dogs). Last night went to dinner at a place with a staffie. While they're not the most aesthetically appealing dogs, their personalities do grow on you.

She snores really loudly. I'm afraid of what volume she's going to hit when she gets old.

Then it will be time to employ the cone of silence.
