Hmmm... cornhole game, eh?

(thinks there may be some people already playing that out there.)

Not sure I like the sounds of that. But ok, I'll ask... how do you play?

Very sneaky, Lechat!
*pets kitty, rubs fingers behind his ears*

You know, I'm not sure of the rules....I know I printed them off and they're around here somewhere. I've seen people playing it around here and it looks fun. I checked out plywood prices today for building a set.

Oh yeah! I'm going to go see Hitchhiker when it comes out too! Never read the book though.

My sister planted catnip in the backyard last summer.....we get cats in the yard when it blooms. Drives the 2 dogs crazy when they go out and there are cats in the yard.

Don't people just bring games for others to play? I don't cook very good.

Little worried they are gonna MIB Sir Adams great achievement, but I guess if they screw this up then I can look forward to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that much more...

Oh, don’t take my silliness and as being sarcastic... Some of the most fun things were just games and toys of sorts placed at random places for people to play with. Its about gifting without need of recompense... at least to me. I like the idea, Msky... Really. I’d play it with you.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that much more...
Oh, yes... I'm definitely looking forward to that one!!! I think Johnny Depp will do very well in that role.

Good night for real this time!!!

Last night storms crashed through my world flooding my household and ripping everyone from security. The waters receded and today I smile feeling the weight lifted. I have a feeling more storms will rip through but not with the same tenacity. Much love to ya all.

*stumbles in, tired as hell from moving..*

Two fingers of bourbon..

I have come to an impasse.. Any suggestion on safe transport of about $500 worth of liquor..

I tried reducing the load last night by going on a Rusty Nail binge.. but I passed out just prior to emptying half a bottle of Drambuie and Glen Moran...

Get some mid-size or so boxes, wrap the bottles up in towels or dirty laundry or whatever the hell, stand 'em on end. They won't clank against each other and break that way, and if you have a sturdy enough box they won't get crushed from above. And even if the box gets a little smushed, if they're standing straight up they should be able to handle the weight.

I would say no need to covet.. but it is JW Blue..

If ya find me on Playa, I'll be happy to pour you a drink of some nice stuff. I have been casually collecting liquor for a "Special Occaission" and decided that my first burn will be that occaission. To date I have accumulated-
Liquor Gaetano
Drambuie (yes, I'll share)
Glen Livette Scotch
Glen Fiddich Scotch
Presidente Brandy
Chartreuse (2x Bottles - my favorite)
Jose Quervo
Captain Morgan
Jaegermeister
Rumplemintz
Goldschlager
Wild Turkey
Pernod
2 types of Saki

By Burn, I should have been able to expand it to a fairly respectable collection.

So yeah... if you can find me, bring a mixer...

The best part about the Blue is it never has one singing them. (The blues, that is!)

(Setting a case of Bridgeport IPA in the cooler)

I'm also building my collection for the trip... Except, every time I turn around, I find instead of a bottle extra, I'm a bottle short...

Speaking of a bottle short...

(BBS pops the top on an IPA, pouring into a traditional pils glass, and drains it in one pull)

Ahhhh.... Much Better!

Anyway, back to the collection... Maybe I shouldn't be taste testing them beforehand... but I'd hate to subject my friends to bad booze... what's a girl to do??

I went in to get a bottle of Laphroaig or 2, but they went up to darn near $50 a bottle... OUCH!! I'd order it on-line but they can't sell to the US or Canada (oh, but for a mexican address 'bout now!)... If you've never had this stuff, it tastes like Scotch that has spent 10 years over a smoking, smouldering peat fire - this stuff is *intense*!!

I'd complain about today, but then I'd sound like a Battered barfly or somesuch, so I'll just hope y'all're having a more awesome Monday than the one I'm having!!!
